THIS SHOW....let's fire hot young actors that are popular lol.  No mind to the fact the most popular characters are like 60 plus..  The show righted their wrong so I can't be mad.  I don't even hate the fact soaps fire people if they were out of ideas and then figured it out.  I wish characters would be let go on several soaps if the writer well is dry and then they bring them back when there is relevant material, but I am not sure Tripp ran out of stories.

They didn't run out of story for Tripp, they just rushed through everything. 

The secret of Allie cheating with Chanel could have burned for a little longer. Imagine the fallout if Tripp had sacrificed himself to save Allie from the devil and then found out that she had cheated on him. 

Or, he and Chanel could have not been interrupted by Paulina and actually had a one night stand and Chanel could have gotten pregnant. Chanel being torn between Johnny and Allie, but pregnant with Tripp's child would have been a great mess and a lot more interesting than this stuff with Sloan's parents.

I don't care for the character of Tripp.  He was written as condescending to the female characters.  I just don't see him as necessary or nice.

I don't find the actor attractive, just bland, vanilla bland.  But even if I thought the actor was attractive, I don't like the character.

Why do you find Tripp condescending to women?  I think he's actual very respectful of the ladies.  Allie did him dirty lol.  I actually find Tripp to be one of the least problematic characters on Days.

LA is a little bland though.  I find him hot, but in a vanilla way lol.

When he first arrived he attacked Kayla with a knife and that took me a while to get over but that was several years ago.  I just think the way he spoke with Allie was that he would mansplain and talk somewhat paternally. 
I was so relieved when Allie and Chanel finally decided they wanted each other.

    • I know Passions used this trope with Ethan and Sam to drag out the paternity, but GH seems to speed through certain stories while dragging others.
    • For any other soap, I think I’d agree, but GH, I don’t know

    • Agreed, that there was some strange choices in the episode, especially at the end, but overall, that was some great drama that opens up the potential for so much future storyline. Kat vs. Eva having the most potential, especially over Tomas. I have mixed feelings about Martin/BC though. I thought he did pretty well in scenes with Smitty/MM, but the scenes of him confronting Leslie and of him throwing the books were bad lol she acted circles around him.  It’s similar to what Harding Lemay said about George Reinholt at AW; he could be brilliant in one scene, but then mediocre in the next. 
    • I know some of y'all really like Brooke Kerr, and so I've tried to give her a shot, despite her frequent flat line readings and distracted "did I leave the front door unlocked?" facial expressions. But lord, she is so bad at playing a tough-talking badass that I was actually rooting for Brad today to spill the beans to Drew. 
    • Googling does tend to ruin it.  For those of us who were teens in the late 1970s and early 1980s, you can't imagine how much fun it was to watch the show in the afternoons.  (It came on right after school.)  There weren't any "spoilers" at the time.  We would always try to anticipate how each crime and each mystery would be resolved, and we were ALWAYS wrong, because the stories are filled with so many weird twists and turns.   The head writer (Henry Slesar) and his dialogue writer (Steve Lehrman) invariably toss genuine clues directly into your face in the most unlikely ways, but then they provide a host of "red herrings" to completely confuse you and send you off on the wrong path.  Once the story reaches its conclusion, all you can think is Why didn't I figure that out weeks ago?  lol
    • Does the vault have the original scene and not the short flashback?
    • I appreciate that you are using AI with the knowledge of it's limitations. Some posters take everything it produces as fact.
    • And of course Mama Ru herself appeared on All My Children.
    • The Saturday 8pm slot usually had the lowest rating of the NBC 4 sitcom lineup for some reason. NBC let Saturday night fizzle, They used 9.30 pm to launch 227 and Amen, both of which moved to earlier in the evening but they  kept Empty Nest following GG for several seasons.  Empty Nest should have moved to 8pm with their strongest new sitcom at 9.30, anticipating that GG would eventually falter. Instead they left them there and stretching the sitcom pool too thinly on other nights. When Grand talk over at 9.30 Thurs maybe Night Court and Wings could have been used on Saturday.
