Neither have been treated with any semblance of respect for years.  Usually when KS tweets negatively, he ends up being used more often. Just over a year ago it was "Filmed my last scenes" and then he was on, searching for Liesl and curmudgeon-ing about like it was nothing. 

#firefrank mistreats most of the beloved actors/actresses in favor of his pets. I wonder what his latest thing is, maybe dumping Trish Ramish? LOL not seriously, but his handling of the actors the long term viewers like has been trash since he started.

I've seen comments about GH and vets in a few other places, though. Usually I see stuff here, but several other locations I poke around in have had similar comments.

 

This could also just be about how actors on other shows (<cough> Y&R <coughs>) honor a 40 year mark with a standalone episode or quick storyline.  Getting socked in the face by one of Frank's pets could also have a bit to do with the drama.

I really don't even see the point in, as social media calls him, TruckNuts, being Dominique's. Katherine's son makes way more sense to me and would give MAC something to do (as I said before, giving him a son would be a great move). But whatever. 

 

They probably pair him with Maxie as her and Austin just isn't working (Austin/Britt would have made more sense and Roger/Kelly worked well together). Still, there's little point to Austin, IMO (especially with no AJ or Jason to play off of, and Monica barely on). Especially when they could have brought on Tom or Steven Lars.

Giving Mac a kid is an obvious way to go. The unknown backstory there is more than enough. The show potentially trying to magic up children for Felicia in the early '90s or Dominique and Scott out of nowhere, when they were all present enough that there is literally no available timespan possible for either of those things to have happened (unless Coby is Serena's twin or Ryan stole Felicia's eggs like Valentin or some gross shít), is ridiculous.

Yeah, it would have easily worked for Mac to have a kid. We can't pretend some of these characters didn't do the nasty off-screen before their entrances and knocked someone up. Mac would fit that bill and give York something to do. And Maxie could hate on him. I have a harder time with all the women who hide these kids. But when we've seen them on-screen, it's harder to buy. Dominique never seemed like she would have given up a son but whatever. Katherine/Mac would be far more interesting, especially as we just had the parapet death for Esme and TruckNuts could hate Nikolas and the Cassadines. But that would require different writing.

The strangest thing happened in the Twitterverse tonight. Kin Shriner tweeted that after 45 yrs with the show he couldn't believe what had happened now, or couldn't believe what the show had done now, something to that effect.

And, Jackie Zeman tweeted a new pic of herself, Lesley Charleson, Kin Shriner & Genie Francis, around a table, smiling at the camera & her tweet said, again something to the effect of, that they had loved or enjoyed being there with all of us all these years & that they had had a good run.

Of course, we imagined the worst things possible! I don't know if we'll find out what that was about tomorrow or not. But, I hope it's nothing, just nothing at all. I could envision them being called in to give them bad news about the show. I very much hope not. It would be such a surprise to me that I'd have to label it shock.

As someone that is behind on reading the board, some of us do not have a problem with a little repetition. And I'm sure the OP will let you know (usually jokingly) when you post something they posted.

 

So...you do you.

      GH: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By ranger1rg · Posted

      I really have no problem with Kai as a character or with the actor. The problem is putting together two very nice people -- Kai and Trina. Neither of them has a bad side, neither of them has a devil on the shoulder, neither of them is impulsive. I think that's a problem in a soap relationship. Yeah, I agree. All this freaking out might make sense if Lulu wanted to do a tabloid expose on BLQ's LOVE CHILD. We have no indication that's the case.

      So Sonni would have somebody to talk to who she wasn't conspiring with (Will or Alan)? Alex kept telling Sonni how important her friends were...when she had virtually no friends. Instead they created loyal servants like Jane and Vera to give Alex people to play off of. They did that with Iris on AW, but Vivien was mostly there for comic relief Alex keeping Marah's paternity a secret was absurd. But I still love the scene between Alex and Alan where he convinces her by reminding her how they protected each other from their abusive father. Chris and Bev ATE that scene. Unfortunately, that took place only a few months before he exited the show...always thought they could have built on that, explored more how being Brandon's children screwed them both up. Maybe even used it as an explanation for the way their relationship could constantly swing from hatred to love. Instead of it being merely dictated by the plot.

      ALL: Drag/Crossdressing Disguises in Soap Operas?

      By Xanthe · Posted

      The first one is Cass Winthrop dressed as Krystle Lake on Another World (not from his original creation of the character to hide from the loan shark Tony the Tuna, but at a romance convention trying to find out what had happened to Felicia who was missing). The second one is also Another World, Jake McKinnon as Doris although I don't recall what his purpose was.

      I know there was one brief scene in the summer of 1989 where Lillian did mention Calla.. but in relation to her past relationship to Ross and it was to Roger while he was a patient at Cedars.  I think he was trying to pump her for information on Ross.. and for some reason, Calla's name came up.   I could see perhaps Beth mentioning that her mother Lillian was visiting Calla.. but not exactly giving any sort of details as to the going ons in Calla's life off screen.

      Doctor Who

      They're neither great nor terrible AFAIK, but it is more a question of the streaming numbers in this day and age vs. actual TV airings. The Chibnall era reminded me much more of the crisis years, but I do think it's a very real possibility now as well due to the streaming bubble collapse affecting the show and its prospects.

      ANYTHING to get her off the screen..she COULD have been interesting if she and Van had a few face offs..(there was a mild one of her going back to work...but I wanted something meatier "Bitch, I am Vanessa Chamberlain and I don't take advice from someone who followed the..career path you did!" I did like Alex's outright disdain for her.

      Doctor Who

      By soapfan770 · Posted

      Thanks @Vee for the commentary.    I haven’t even watched this season yet after  I couldn’t get past the couple episodes last season…like it was too Disneyified for my taste, although I did think it was a least better than the Chibnall era (but so is a lot of things). I’ll probably go back and binge it now. Hoping this season ends on a high note. I did read the ratings are terrible. As it stands I’m beginning to feel like what long time DW fans felt with S26 in 1989.
