Exactly. ME and his eight million characters should have been dispatched from the show years ago, not foisted into a slimy story with Liz. Turning Liz into a supporting player in (supposedly) her own story is an affront, and destroying the character of Steve Hardy's only biologal son is an egregious slap in the face to the history of the series.

Just vomit.

I was thinking, one other weird thing about Jeff sending Liz to live with Audrey, is that not only was Audrey his step-mother, but he also only knew her for 2-3 years of his adult life.  Liz had an adult brother, Stephan Lars, an aunt Terri, and Carolyn must have family, so it seems like an odd choice to send your daughter to live with a woman that you barely knew.

Obviously, the choice was made by writers to facilitate a story, but I never thought about how illogical it was until now.

Jeff Hasnt been seen in 4 decades and he was always wishy washy especially with his women and the week he left in 81 he didnt beliebe Diana about PJ but after she died and got a DNA test, he left town with his son. Seemed rush

 

So 40 years later, Jeff is a blank slate and a cheater who IMHO was more into being a doctor than being a dad and sadly seems his Wife Carolyn felt/ feels the same. Hopefully they still pop up cause I want to see more fallout from this.

 

With Rick  we saw him on screen when this theresa crap supposedly happened and there is no way Rick would have pulled all that

 

Could have been worse. Guza/Pratt wanted it revealed he sexually abused Laura in the attic. The actors held ground and said no so they did the cheating route

 

Also Guza/Pratt were Scriptwriters on GH in early to mid 80's. They wrote for Rick. They new better and didnt care.

GH has really adorable child actors I have to say.  The little girl that plays Donna is so cute!   This isn't really on the topics being discussed and is not really relevant, but I do think GH does the best casting with kids out of any soap.

Carolyn seems like she might be evil.  I thought her name was Caroline though before this?  Correct me if I am wrong, but I remember that because it's obviously my name.  But.....my entire life people have called me Carolyn so it might not even be an actual mistake.

Wiley is okay and adorable, but everything Willow/Michael touch is boring so I don't fault the little guy.  I was laughing when the little girl that plays Scout was dancing with her butterfly wings in the background of the Alexis/Ryan Lavery scenes.

Firestarter Cam might be my favorite child soap actor ever.  Gh has always done well with the kiddo casting.

I really do hope Carolyn is evil (I still think they should've used Denise Crosby as Sela more on TNG), and I hope she can put the fear of God into Heather too. They should have history, as IIRC Heather was originally written out to go visit Steven-Lars and Liz mentioned in 2004 that Heather used to bother them when she was little.

I do think I saw it written as Carolyn in either the GH Wiki or the who's who profiles on Soapcentral long before this.

Tbh though, to me Caroline and Carolyn can be a bit interchangeable to the ear (and likely to the people calling you Carolyn as well) but of course to you since it is your name you'd always hear the difference immediately. So in that case, I'll leave it you to decide whether Lesley is saying Caroline or Carolyn in this 1982 clip (just after the five minute mark)

    • I tend to have two minds about Tawny (Kathy Najimy) fainting during Soapdish's big reveal. You're the costume designer, if anything, you should have known the whole time. I guess it's an application of what TV Tropes calls the "Rule of Funny." Every time I watch Delirious, I always want the genuine romance in John and Mariel's reunion at the deli counter to last longer. Film critics had their knives out for Sally in this period. I'll start a separate thread on the movies page.
    • I don't think so, but I wouldn't be surprised if he was Dumas this whole time.
    • Tamara Tunie was serving up grand dame diva fierceness.
    • Nick told Victoria that he and Sharon had married in England.  Victoria was shocked.  Then she realized he was kidding.  He confirmed it was a joke and they're platonic. I don't even know what to say about that.
    • It's funny you say that because part of the entertainment of the trials on the show are all the day players who come on as witnesses and jurors.  I'm certain it was like the Law and Order of its time. It employed so many New York actors, that if you look close enough, there's usually someone vaguely recognizable in the courtroom.
    • I will defend Dante.  People already suspect he may be a bit unstable from time to time (from his time as a prisoner).  And, he's taking care of other people's kids from time to time.  So, he has reason to be cautious with those in his care.
    • Josh continues to try and milk Abbott/Newman rivalry. First it was Billy/Victoria, then Kyle/Summer, then Noah/Allie (that worked out well) and now Kyle/Claire. Do we have any inkling when Billy Flynn will arrive and who he will play? I'm sure Cole's illness will mostly play offscreen. What's in store for Nick and Sharon? Is it time to put them back together? I can't see any other romantic options. Nick has no children on the canvas to play off, as Christian is never seen. Sharon has only Mariah onscreen.
    • I would appreciate (if they're not coming), for future scripts to refer to them by their iconic hairdos.  For example, if Hope needs to call Chelsea because Bo has Sepsis, I'd like Shawn-D to say, "My Mom called Chelsea (the one with the sassy short black hair) for an update." Also, new rule, if Melanie does return, she needs to dye her hair back to red.  I googled who she was five times during Victor's funeral.

    • Broderick, thank you for all of the info [I edited for space]. I am so grateful for everyone filling in the blanks for me. I suspected the Nora/Eliot scene was very important and it was setting something up but I didn't know what. Can't wait to see it play out. The two actors had such a great back and forth. I should have made the Paige/Patty Hearst connection. I thought Paige was in love with Brian from the first episode I watched but it seemed as if they were brother and sister. Steve kept being affectionate with her so I assumed he was the love interest. Then she was affectionate with someone else and well..she's a very busy woman. I can't wait to see Frances Fisher show up. (I'm trying to be vague because I don't know what would be a spoiler in this storyline) Now it makes sense why Draper would be upset. I didn't get the whole background of why he didn't go to NY. I'm a sucker for good acting, so I might still side with April and Margo, if the writers don't give Draper more to do besides yelling.  He had more chemistry with Logan, but I know that's not happening.  Something else I noticed: the show really takes care with even the smallest parts. The acting is superb. Too often, I noticed on older soaps they don't take care with the recurring or day players (Ryan's Hope was so bad with this that I couldn't make it through some episodes). It's only been six episodes, but so far, the casting department was spot on.
    • I thought Dante was overreacting.  Gio made some mistakes but he's young and he tried.  It's not like he dragged two 14 years to a party and made them get blackout drunk.  Dante can have the initial upset reaction, but to go on and on was a bit much.
