Yeah… we need more Terry/Yuri and less  Austin/His douchebag cousin. 

And yeah, maybe y’all were right about the new nanny probably being in the running for Molly. She might have been too cold for that part. 

And Btw, Liz, if you know what happened between Joss/Cam and Dex, can you please explain why you didn’t beat Joss’ disgusting ass???

I remember people complaining what an obnoxious, cloying child Molly was 10 year ago lol.  They weren't wrong.  I honestly think Haley could have done just fine with this story, but I can't say I really need another pregnancy story in my life either.

I really like the idea of Carly running Kelly's.  It's the first time in a long time Carly has really done something (vaguely) self-sufficient.  And although I don't think Kelly's ever stopped being a 'hot spot' it was nice to hear her talk about plans for it and explain why she doesn't want to take money from Jax, Joss, everyone.  Will it last?  No, I am sure she will spend 5 mins on this and then go back to meddling with everyone's life as usual, but it's a start.  Also, I am sure we will have to hear how brave, strong, and awesome Carly is for awhile.  It started to today with Joss.  Do Carly or Joss ever have conversations with one another where they don't compliment each other on how great they are lol?

Alright, we're starting to sizzle a bit on GH with Ava getting slapped hard by the new nanny-plant!  I hope the nanny keeps this energy and really messes Sonny up, too.  The Pentonville stories are somewhat interesting...surprisingly.  I wonder where they're going to go and who that third mob faction is led by...hopefully it's someone well cast.

Carly taking over Kelly's and the Brownstone will be nice...probably the only decent thing this character has ever done since she came to Port Charles.

While I am sure it's disheartening to read those comments and I think soap twitter and some other spaces can be especially vicious, I do think it's just part of the job.  I don't even think these comments are that bad.  How can you really take to heart a person who can't spell dumb or ridiculous right? Lol.

People make horrible yelp reviews for businesses all the time not taking account mitigating circumstances.  People complain in restaurants and stores and belittle regular working class joes all the time for much less.  People can be as*holes all the time especially behind a keyboard.  

When you are a highly paid writer putting out a show and product for public consumption the public is going to have an opinion.  Every person in the entertainment industry that's mildly successful deals with these trolls.  I think it's absolutely silly to go on social media and complain about it.  The people directing these comments to this writer aren't going to read her post and realize the error of their ways.  Most likely they will double down now. 

I don't think actors or writers should be bullied and some of those comments are mean.  That being said, and I truly might be in the minority with this opinion, if things like this are bad for your mental health then perhaps you should follow your co workers lead and stay off social media.

    • I can barely remember who was the person they tested her with for the AMC revival but I *do* remember kinda liking them together (anyone remember better?  lol)  But yes, I feel the same.  It might not help that when I became a regular viewer Tad was presumed dead and she was with Craig...  I do remember that my sister's best friend had been an AMC viewer with her mom and dad and that they were very excited that Tad was returning... OK I instantly remembered that.  And now once again I'm sad about what coulda been with the reboot.
    • Well, that is weird. I do not see him but I only have him on Ignore on 2 accounts.
    • In the preview for the show back in February on Entertainment Tonight, Jeresa the costume designer was specific about each character's economic background, personality, and the character's personal fashion preferences.  Very much about the characters and not the actors. She said Eva is a thrifter, so her normal daily wardrobe would be something from a thrift store, and if BTG buys it new, they intentionally make it look used. So what you said fits about the type of thing a lower income person would buy for a fancy event.
    • As hard as it is for me to imagine anyone but Don Stewart as Mike Bauer...I dunno...maybe someone like "Adam-12"'s Kent McCord?  Or Robert Hogan?
    • Yep I don't hate Javi and then he's macking on Leo and I'm done with him. Leo is a failure who needs to go away   I am bracing myself for Alex reading the manuscript and imagining him and Stephanie as the main characters, because this couple has literally nothing else to do until Joy comes back showing 
    • Oh yes. The towel scene though 
    • Interesting that Donald May has been mentioned twice. He's on my dreamcast list for Alan. He was somewhat older than Stewart and Bernau, but he could have played either role. An actor I thought about for Mike was Dan Hamilton. He played a role on GL during the 60s, but enough time had passed that it shouldn't have been a problem. He usually played smarmy characters but it would have been cool if they had gone against typecasting.
    • I like Jed Allan, it has to be someone who can play authority but "good" authority to oppose Alan's bad. As mentioned upthread, can you imagine how it would have been with Alan and Mike against each other, with Roger in the mix. But I would have had Roger, ever the opportunist to try to take advantage of their fighting to make his own headway.  Maybe that could have been the storyline, Mike involved with Alex, but the constant fighting with Alan causes a rift (she like Mike fighting Alan when it is to her advantage, but he can be a bit self righteous and I can see him demanding her to disavow Alan publicly..) so that is how Roger lands in her bed, much to the consternation of BOTH Alan and Mike. I would like to have a woman of a certain age being fought over by two men (really three if you count Alan.
    • Please let May have less garbage time. The Y&R threads have shrunken, whereas I can barely keep up with the Beyond the Gates threads.
