Just finished watching ... she's dreadful. Good looking, not as old looking as she is but too old looking for the part. The voice would need a constant coach's attention. The writing is manic & over the top so she is already screeching, too. There's gotta be so many young women who could take this & run with it. OY!

I find Molly to be histrionic and screechy already so that's not helping.  Is Molly older than Jordan now?  I don't even dislike Pullos (real life mistakes aside).  I think she was better than the material she got, but I don't think the Molly character is super hard to play.  The show isn't recasting Laura or Anna-just a B character honestly.   I don't know why it would be hard to find a decent recast.

The taping out of order based on sets was very obvious today. When Trina met with Marcus at Kelly’s her voice was fine, but when she went back to the hospital set at the end of today’s episode, she had the same laryngitis she had last week. It was very glaring.

LOL @ the memes about nunuMolly. This latest Molly actress is the worst casting for the role yet.  The material isn't great to begin with, but her acting choices just magnify the badness.

I cannot believe how lopsided the new casting choices are in this episode, from bad to absolutely beautiful.  They got a GORGEOUS actress with the right subtle acting chops to play the journalist interviewing Sasha in the same episode.  "Elyse" needs to be on contract, not a one-and-done dayplayer!

I'm annoyed at Maxie shaming Cody into putting on a shirt at the pool of all places (always make me wonder why people living at the Quartermaine mansion with a pool and a lake would go to a hotel pool, but still...). 

I hope Cody does not forgive Sasha for stabbing him.  I'm shipping Elyse & Cody now!

The Alexis & Esme scenes were compelling, comparing each character's arcs so far.  I hope that dynamic on the show remains.  Alexis is much more enjoyable in those scenes than with her motley crew of weirdly aged daughters now.

What is wrong with the Trina actress' voice?  She's had a frog in her throat all summer long. 

Sad they're turning Taggert into an alcoholic.  Who is he going to run over and kill on the show?

I mean you ought not to be able to swing a dead cat without hitting a potential woman who acts who could run with this part!!

Terrible episode. Maxie getting onto Cody Bell? Gladys reminding Sasha to take her meds, The Metro Court pool has a stabbing 2 days after a shooting?! Who would voluntarily live in this town?

That's fine and good but I think it all depends on how permanent this actress is.  She doesn't look youthful.  She looks like she's 35.  Again, it's not a slam on the actress because she is 39, but she looks years older than Kate Mansi and I don't think Kate Mansi looks that young.  It's just a really weird casting choice.

I have a hard time comprehending how anyone could think casting a 39 year old women is the right choice for Molly.  It's just not. 

GH could control the casting.  It's not the women's fault but this is such a poor casting decision it deserves the internet shame.

    • 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.
