Kirsten Storms looks rough, but she doesn't look old.  She still looks 15-20 years younger than RH.  RH isn't someone like Peter Reckell, who vaguely looked 40 for 20 years lol.   RH looks his age.   It's creepy and weird and I think GH believes KS looking frumpy equates to her getting a much too old love interest.

Yikes with the Trina stuff.  Not TA's finest work.

Roger looks fine, but I don't think he looks younger than his age or anything.  

I actually think KS still has a bit of a baby face that does make her look a bit younger.

I don't know why they don't pair Maxie back with Spinelli.  I don't know what Spinelli's real purpose on the show is and if they are out of options for KS just go back to that easy one.

There really is no need for Austin and all it's a shame because if Frank or Ron had taken actual time to develop a character for RH in the first place after the OLTL character fiasco I don't think we would be at this place.

I still can't believe he and Michael Easton have been on the show for a decade. As THREE characters (with Silas and Finn seemingly the exact same person? I don't get any of this). What have they got on Frank?

I've been watching a lot of GH clips from the last decade, I missed a lot because I didn't care and damn Liz has had like 10 different love interests. They just put her with any available man. And I see how they were winging it with the characters of Finn, Franco and Nina. Especially Nina. The person Cynthia Watros is playing is NOT the same person Michelle Stafford was playing.

I have no idea the difference between Silas and Finn.  Is Finn more popular than Silas was?  Was it necessary to create two separate characters?  ME is an actor I have NEVER gotten the appeal of going back to his time as Tanner on Days.  He's so monotone lol

And with Howarth, he should have just been playing Austin from the beginning.  That character has some potential.  Wasting 7 years on us accepting Franco was always a bad idea.  I at least think Howarth has enough talent and charisma to make a character like Austin work if he was introduced years ago.

Nina has one of the most convoluted back stories this side of John Black lol.  I truly can't stand the character.  Once MS left they should have cut their losses and just had CW become a new character because Nina is another one who has burned through love interests and story like crazy.

Liz has had some random love interests through the years.  The Evil Dr. with the Abs, anyone.  I will say Liz has always been a character that has had quite a few unlikely love interests thrown at her (Zander, Ric, AJ, Matt, Dr. Abs) and a lot of those just fizzled out or barely got started.

      ALL: Drag/Crossdressing Disguises in Soap Operas?

      By Xanthe · Posted

      Sorry, I don't know the non-AW ones. In addition to the 2x Cass disguised himself as Krystle (1984 to hide from Tony Jones, 1994 investigating Felicia's disappearance), there was one occasion in October 1987 where Cass imposter Rex Allingham dressed as a woman and, claiming to be Nicole's Aunt Blanche, disrupted her date with another man. (At the time I don't think the audience yet knew that it wasn't Cass.)

      THANK YOU SO MUCH. If there was any way we could sticky this post or make it so we don't forget where it is. I'm going to bookmark it for sure! AND WOW... Season 15 - nearly a whole month of skipped episodes. LOL.

      JFP was only as strong as her writers, which is why her output got worse and worse when she decided she was the only writer anyone needed. They could have easily had a decent short-term story with Lando - maybe cast him as a terminal patient at Cedars, or a long-lost Bauer or Reardon who would leave town after his story is done and possibly return at a later date with a recast. He might become close to Ed and Michelle, similar to how Ed had taken Kelly under his wing years earlier. Maybe he could have been tied to Maureen's death, somehow - maybe we'd learn, after he ingratiated himself to everyone in Springfield, that he accidentally ran Maureen off the road during the storm. And when he realizes this he would, in shame, leave town, maybe leaving some Springfield lady devastated if they were about to get married (this could have worked with a better Mindy recast, or maybe a brand new character).

      Notes I've made of skipped or faulty YouTube episodes are (I'll put in brackets the faulty ones, the rest are skipped episodes), that would be amazing if they could be replaced by higher quality Netherlands copies when they become available: 

      Please register in order to view this content

      S13: 3170, 3172, 3181 (faulty), 3203 (faulty), 3223 (faulty), 3255, 3278 (faulty), 3345, 3361 (faulty) S14: 3399, 3455 (faulty), 3479 (faulty), 3509 (faulty), 3555 (faulty end credits), 3580, 3600 (faulty), 3613 (faulty) S15: 3658 (faulty), 3667, 3668, 3669, 3670, 3674, 3678, 3679, 3681, 3682, 3684, 3685, 3686, 3690, 3692, 3694, 3696, 3697, 3699, 3709 S16: 4058, 4059, 4109 S17: 4137, 4194, 4262, 4284, 4358, 4362, 4371 S18 so far skipped: 4450, 4451. There may be further S18 episodes to replace in English if there are any further skips on YouTube, as many episodes from this season are just in German in the vault, and if they skip those, then we probably have to wait for an eventual Netherlands airing unless someone currently has them in English (currently the German ones needing to replace to full English for S18 are: 4477, 4485, 4486, 4492, 4493, 4494, 4497, 4514, 4515, 4518, 4520, 4522, 4523, 4524, 4526, 4531, 4538, 4541, 4575, 4612 - hopefully YouTube will not skip these, and they won't be a problem to fix). Also, jumping ahead a bit to future seasons, but does anyone have full English speaking copies of any of 4852, 4897, 5275, 5308, 5590, 5591, 5594 (as these are not in full or at all in English in the vault as far as I can tell)? Many thanks if you do! A million thank yous to all Angels helping out with these.

      I found the reference in the AWHP synopses -- it was 1995 but not directly related to the loanshark.

      One of the dumbest situations (Lando) ever. What audience member is going to invest in a storyline with a recast they don't like and a triangle where one character is short-term? It bombed as it should have done. So much of JFP's tenure just reeks of desperation. I don't get how someone could produce SB (which did have flaws but was often brilliant) but make so many terrible mistakes at GL.   I still think JFP would have worked better as a director and music supervisor. Her music work at SB was top notch.  It just seems that Rea was minimized during JFP's tenure because I can't imagine her okaying so many of these casting choices.

      We see the same with GH, where Mark Teschner, the casting director, reportedly has less say since Frank Valentini took over. Some producers want to take over every aspect of their shows.  I think Lando may have been a CBS push.
