Anyhow, I do think that acting worked better as Annie.  I am not a GL watcher by any means, but it did come on at a very weird time in my area during that period and I did watch that story.  I thought CW was great.

The problem is probably Nina more than CW, but I have never liked her portrayal.   Idk, there are a lot of middle aged blonde woman on the show that fill the same role on the canvas pretty much.  I can't seem to care about any of Nina's stories and her screeching about Sonny/Wiley/Carly.

I don't care about Nina either, lol. I do like CW and I think she gives a thankless, confused role her best and has chemistry with MB - she's much more tolerable than Michelle Stafford. But I'd still play out her storyline and write her out without hesitation.

Yeah, she's decent with MB.  Nothing special, but there is chemistry.  Funny, I thought Stafford had much better chemistry with Ingo though.  Obviously, neither here nor there now, but her pairing with Jax fell really flat.  I think MS was pretty good with Valentin too, but most of the time I forget that character exists completely until he shows back up on my screen lol.  Come to think of it, Nina's had quite a few love interests.

To each their own. I just could not tolerate Stafford on the show at all and Valentin, the corniest Cassadine, made it even worse.

Lol.  I don't mind MS as much as most people do.  

Agree that Valentin is the lamest Cassadine ever.  Remember when other characters were talking about how awful and evil he was?  Is he going to murder people with his piano playing and love songs?

Billy Joel! I swear to fuckin' God.

Haha!  JPS can obviously play a good villian, Valentin just gets the most bizarre writing on this show.  I know we need acts for the Nurse's Ball, but c'mon.   There's a point where it doesn't work.  Helena wouldn't jump into show tunes lol.

Obviously Valentin could disappear forever and I wouldn't notice, so I don't care that much.  This show has so many extraneous characters.  Half the cast could honestly go.

Valentin is pure cringe for me. I understand JPS played a great character on AMC 30 years ago and is a very talented actor in other things since. I just don't care. He should be gone tomorrow. Along with, yes, half the cast.

So many characters to get rid of.  I don't think Valentin is at the top of my list, but in my top 10 lol.  I like Sasha, but I don't even understand why her and Brando exist.  Meanwhile, we have so many historic characters that need to be back instead of RH and ME playing random new characters.  I just don't get it.  FV is apparently good at streamlining the budget, so why don't they cut some of the massive cast?

That awkward Smoltz guy would be a decent Spinelli recast if needed.

Not sure about revenge porn laws, but if Joss & Cam say Trina didn't do it and didn't press charges, does the case need to be procecuted? It's not like a murder where it's the state vs the suspect, and the victims aren't minors.

Would you prefer he played Elton John?

I think I would prefer Elton John.  JPS singing "Tiny Dancer" would make my day.  Maybe some Rocket Man?

I love the actor who plays Spencer.  I started a Nichola Alexander Chavez thread at another soap forum but the mod deleted it for no reason.  She deleted most of the threads I posted on the GH and Y&R boards.  She does that to a lot of the members.  I don't know why people still go to that website.  It sucks balls.  

No offense, @Meredith, but could you please stop posting about how awful that "other soap forum" is?  It comes across as very catty.

I just block and move on.
