OMG twitter is on a ROLE LMAO

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! 

[carolineg]

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?

Looks young enough to Me

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?

[Liberty City]

She legitimately looks like a housewife mom of two. But you do you.

So do you wanna get her fired too?  They wanted Molly #2 fired  and now you want Brooke fired just because of her age? That is something she cannot control 

[carolineg]

I don't think anyone is wishing anything bad for Molly #3.  She's too old for the part.  She's my age. Lovely girl and not an old lady, but not a women who should be playing a woman in her 20's lol.  It's bad casting-that's it.

[John]

Well Im more concerned how she gels with Alexis, Sam, Krissy & TJ. If she makes that work well. I will be happy.

[carolineg]

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.

[Vee]

Yes. She's wrong for the part. What are you going to do about it, John?

[John]

Maybe I dont know give her a chance? All over twitter people are roasting her for her age and voice which she cannot control

[carolineg]

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.
