The writing on this show is psychotic. I saw a clip of Liam screaming at Hope because she...kissed Thomas. The way characters go off about kissing someone is as bombastic and overly written as full on affairs. And holds longer ramifications!

The way Liam went in on her you would think Hope was getting railed by everyone in the entrance line to the Vatican.

Actually if my husband kissed someone else I would file for divorce. I am truly honest. It will hurt like an affair.

Oh absolutely in real life but the weight of betrayals on this show is so skewed!

Brooke kissing...whoever she kissed at the beginning of this year and maybe had a drink and it was treated like the end of the world. Liam lead Hope and Steffy on for years yet screeches in her face about a kiss??? I mean I get it but I wish it didn't all get treated with the same amount of gravity.

Didn't Brooke kiss someone last year... I don't think it was this year. But I remember the most boring 3 months of Brooke crying every day repeating the same monologue. Bradley Bell was very bored in 2022.

It was last year. Sheila switched Brooke's non-alcoholic champagne for the real thing and Brooke got drunk and kissed Deacon.

Spoiler

SOD says Liam and Hope split up. I guess Liam will be sniffing at Steffy and causing trouble. Wash, rinse, repeat...

Some early Fourth of July fireworks...

Over a kiss...Hope might as well have slept with Thomas in Rome. A kiss and a divorce?😂

And another kiss by Liam on Steffy. Same sh!t once again by Bradley. Sigh...

What is this, every Friday will now end with a Liam & Steffy kiss??!?

Steffy really needs to slap Liam.

I was thinking the same thing. Liam is such a loser.

I'm peacing out from this show. Sorry I have no desire to continue to watch Steffy being sexually assaulted by Lame

Before anyone says it's NOT, it IS

It's so terrible to say this, but if someone actually had the nerve to have Brad Bell arrested for his writing, I would laugh my a$$ off!

But then Liam will go kiss or even sleep with another woman. Liam and Ridge go ballistic if their wives kiss another man (and sometimes, even if they are only in the same room with them - Brooke/Deacon) and that gives them the right to sleep with their ex (and they hang out with their exes all the time). They will gladly accept their wife's forgiveness for that, but then, next time their wife kisses someone, they do not extend the same grace. Not that it's good to kiss someone else, but it's such a sick attitude.

I haven't read any positive comments on social media about Liam and the apparent rehash with Steffy.

I hope viewers start tuning out. Liam front and center was the reason I tuned out the last time.

Everything that happened in Rome from Brooke to Liam has been repeated to death.

It would be nice if the show actually told something NEW for once:

Hope risks everything to get Thomas on the line after those initial lukewarm reviews but then it outright flips with his return?

Deacon & Taylor get close?

Ridge reconnects with model Alex Simpson of all people while away?

Wyatt dies?

Eloquently stated! I need Finn to beat his arse and then Li to find a way to make his death look like natural causes

ALL: Recasts who were quickly accepted by the audience

Maybe the three key Margo Hugheses on ATWT? There was a fourth like Bransford who didn't go over well, but the others were very distinctive and to my understanding popular.
Vicky Hudson on AW might be the same, though I have never cared much for Jensen Buchanan lol.

GH: November 2025 Discussion Thread

I thought the scenes between Britt and Jason were well done, so I'll give KT props for that at least. I agree it felt like she was asking too much of him. It's unrealistic to think Jason, of all people, would be 100% committed to anyone at this point and he actually shouldn't have to be when he's just offering help? Britt also has family that would be happy to help her, so it's not as if she's all alone in the world.
The whole Dalton murder and Britt/Sidwell connection is fine I suppose, but it feels like the show just scrapped Emma's only story. All the months she spent trying to get in good with Dalton yet she never cracked the case and now he's dead.

Your daily (or nightly) thought

That's great that you've found something to enjoy. I remember my first telenovela as a child - Rosalinda. I was obsessed. I was sooo little, practically a baby, but remember re-enacting scenes from the show, fake falling down the stairs like Rosalinda and fake-getting run by car like she was. I would recreate these hyper dramatic moments all day long. My father cringing every time he sees me. 😄

Cherie Jimenez as Gabi on Days. I am not sure if Camila Banus was ever super popular, but she led storyline and was on the show for years.
Not to veer off topic, but I am also quite fascinated by the Carly situation on GH. I know TB wasn't immediately accepted, while Laura was due to the Bransford situation, but it has to be rare to have such longevity and success with three separate actors in the role. Are there other roles/actors that have achieved that?

That was a messy story. I'm still waiting for Krista to write her tell all book. 😄

Thank you for reminding me! I think I know which ones you are referring to. It's just so hard to follow what is up and what gets taken down from YouTube. I think they've been cleaning a lot of channels due to this new streaming thing.
BTW, I was just watching again and I guess Susan Lucci was on hiatus, because Erica is nowhere to be seen. They left us on a cliffhanger and now I watch every episode expecting to see what happened with her and the clown. Manipulative writing.

D'oh! That makes sense. In that case, Jill Larson (AMC) as Opal. She had the additional advantage of the character being offscreen for a half-decade.

Kimberley is another, definitely, especially as she got to stand on her own with the Musketeers phasing out.
Those are the responses I was most interested in seeing, but I didn't want to make a lot of rules because I am enjoying seeing the different suggestions, even for people who were replacing lesser-known performers.

I'm interpreting this thread as focussing more on recasts that had to replace popular performers, and thus had to prove themselves rather than just taking the place of actors who hadn't made much of an impression or proven to very popular with viewers.
eg Michael O'Leary as Rick on GL replaced Phil McGregor but Phil hadn't made much of an impression in the role and that was why he was replaced in the first place.
