Saw this on another board, from Becky on the podcast about her current "story"

 

 

I listened to the podcast that RH just did where she gave her take on all the big storylines of her last 25 years. When she got to her current one, she expressed how in the dark she is on what's happening with her "daddy" flashbacks. She mentioned how she asked for some context as to what the reason was for her most recent scene in the stairwell, so she could accurately emote. She kept getting "I don't know" answers.

Oh brother.  And let me harp once again on the fact that we should have CS playing Serena on this show, which would make this stupid plot a little more tolerable.  Because then at least there would be someone tied to Dominique on contract.

Rather than cast Elizabeth's father, Jeff Webber and give Rebecca Herbst a story solely about her character, GH has cast five characters "of a certain age" since 2017-- all of whom could have easily portrayed the Jeff Webber role-- James DePaiva, Michael E. Knight, Jeff Kober, James Read and Gregory Harrison (not to mention Charles Shaughnessy)-- all in prominent roles at the times. Why won't #firefrank cast actual characters from the show's history instead of characters like David Bensch and Harrison Chase? Both characters have been used to prop characters he created for his friends-- "Kiki" and "Dr. Finn." When is it time to reach back to the characters the viewers want to see? After ABC decides it's time to shelve the show? If Port Charles needs a reporter, bring Lulu out of the coma. Nope we get "Felty and Smoltz".
The writing is on the wall for these shows. Right the ship and try to appeal to the viewers that are left, not to your vanity projects and petty treatment toward the viewers.

    • I have my fingers crossed for a baby to be named Monica Michelle & called Monica. And, yes, I do realize that is not equal to having her onscreen but, like you said & of course a recast is unthinkable. 
    • I would love to have Monica on screen. Leslie Charleson has died. She played the role for 46 years. Monica should pass as well. No one is going to accept a long-term recast for Monica, no matter how great  the actress they could get.
    • Coming into June...   It just occurred to me that seeing Carter/Hope engaged that there was something missing. Oh, yeah! DAPHNE. I missed a few episodes, but she left, right? So is Ridge going to be the spoiler for Carter/Hope now? I felt that Daphne/Carter/Hope had more legs to it. But I guess we will see.   I did enjoy that show circling back around to Luna/Will/Electra. Katie was spitting nothing, but truth. Same for Sheila. And it's good to see Luna vs Electra, and they gave off more adversary chemistry this time around versus when they were at Deacon's.    I was happy to see Liam reduced to C plot.
    • To bring over from the May Sweeps Thread from @Chris B   I know the fashions have gotten mixed reviews but I actually like what the new costume designer is putting the cast in. It feels more modern and the more tacky pieces I feel make sense for rich people. They're buying for the brand and the price and we often see celebs in things like this. Especially for a character like Nikki, I feel the more over the top (and tacky), the more realistic it is.   I agree. While it has been hit and miss no question, I have found it fascinating to watch what the costume designer is attempting to do with the various characters and their clothes. Some have been overdue. Some have been fascinating. But (outside of Billy) not boring to watch. I definitely find it more modern as well.   My growing issue has been it's not good that the best reason to watch Y&R as of late has been to see what people are wearing rather than the writing. It feels like a red flag.
    • Haha. The fact that I stopped regularly viewing at the same time and know what you are talking about is chef's kiss.    I'm slowly bingewatching Nurse's Ball Week. But it's slow for me because a lot of the same tics and writing flaws for me that made me throw up my hands is still evident *cough*CVE*cough* Thankfully, there are some things I like also and from a glance in the GH May Thread, it seem like it had a good Sweeps with good fallout. And do I even need to mention Nina finally slapping the taste out of Carly's mouth? See? Regardless of her flaws, I do enjoy Korte-headed episodes over CVE-headed episodes because they always seem to have more emotional resonance to long-time fans.
    • And that charity does still get mentioned from time to time. I want to say the last time was some time this year, too. 
    • Oh, no. Vernon has definitely had his moments.   Choose silence anyone?
    • Search YT for Edwyn Sanchez, he posted an AI enhanced episode of ATWT and it is beautiful.   
    • That's so funny, that's how I listen to Montecito - while walking my dog. I'll have to check out Forever & a Day.
