I think Cynthia Watros looks better than she ever has. 

They should do both.  I cannot understand how Carly whose one of the lead women characters on the show, doesn't have her brother as a lead character.  

Helena out 1/21,   she's been gone for several years.   She was on for a 1 shot guest stint as Helena on video.

Does anyone know what song was playing at Britt's party on Friday's episode at around the 15 minute mark right before Maxie comes back into the room to give a speech?  Tunefind.com doesn't even have General Hospital listed and Shazam couldn't identify the song.  The lyrics go "I'm trying, trying, to...i can't get enough..."

I have never gotten the Britt love, but she seems pretty popular with fans, TPTB, and soap press.   She's a different type of heroine that's a little unique, but she's not the 2nd coming of Brenda Barrett or anything.  I don't know why she got an entire episode devoted to her with Sonny in the front dancing along to her karaoke.  But, again, this is a show that thinks Michael, Willow, and Joss are compelling leads

I think KT has the range of drywall and I just don't think 'bitchy' is a substitute for a nuanced personality. A lesson Ron Carlivati, who created her as a two-dimensional foil for the equally 2-D Sabrina, and his successors have had to fail to learn many times at various shows with various characters. They tried to fill Britt in after the fact with childhood trauma (and lean on the fairly forced relationship with Brad) and I've never bought it, because IMO Thiebaud is a deeply marginal actress. Folks' mileage may vary.

@VeeThe most interesting thing about KT is the fact she looks a lot like Nancy Kerrigan to me lol.  In comparison to Sabrina, I can see how she lasted longer, but otherwise I agree with you 100%.  She's had nice chemistry with SBu and TC's Nik, but she's never had a pairing that caught fire and they have thrown KT at quite a few leading men.  I guess I do enjoy the fact that she is very career driven and I like her relationship with Teri, but I think that's more because I like Teri.   I don't hate Britt in the way I hate Nina or Willow, but I won't notice she's gone or miss her.

    • 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:

      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. 
    • Thanks.

    • 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.
