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?

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.

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.

      Good Morning, this is still funny to me but I totally enjoyed what makes up "DemetriKane" so unnecessary, who cares?!!! Glad you like the Emma Peel derivative story.

      DAYS: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      By AbcNbc247 · Posted

      A new day in Salem… and a new day for Days.  I like the way everybody found out and absorbed the news about John’s death, and how they all eventually found their way to Marlena’s to offer their condolences. I’m not particularly sure why they waited until the next day to tell everybody but I don’t really mind it.  We finally got Roman’s perspective! His scenes with Kayla were one of the best parts of today. I’m glad that Roman is thankful for everything that John did for his kids. I agree with posters who said that he should’ve had a scene like this with John, but I’m happy we got this at least.  Julie was used very well today too. She’s definitely the best person for Marlena to have scenes with at the moment. Hopefully, Julie continues to be there for her. And yes, I totally agree with Marlena and Belle sending EJ away when he came to the apartment. I’m curious to see what’s going to happen to his and Belle’s relationship in the aftermath of all this. And, while I enjoyed most of Brady and Kristen’s scenes, I still think the ship has sailed for them. Hopefully, the aftermath of John’s death causes Brady to finally end this thing with her once and for all.  And, I see a lot of people were wearing some kind of shade of purple today.

      DAYS: Current&Former actors live video tribute for Drake Hogestyn

      By Wendy · Posted

      Wow, I love that current and former actors are participating in this. I barely recognize Staci Greason! She looks fine, just very different. But I will be happy to hear anecdotes from her. I shipped RoJohn and Isabella hard back in the day, and I sobbed buckets in my dorm room at college when Izzy B passed. Honestly, I'm interested in everyone's stories. Drake seemed like he was well loved among the cast.

      BTG: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Alan · Posted

      When she first appeared, I was sure she was setting Tyrell up for a prank. She was too much of a manic pixie dream girl- I wasn't surprised Tyrell also became suspicious. Now I'm not so sure. If Jessica genuinely likes Tyrell, it seems like a missed opportunity to not have started her out as a bully, then we see her gradually catch feelings for Tyrell.  The McBrides are definitely the "C" family of BTG. They always get last priority. There have been a few times where the Doug/Vanessa/Joey characters reference off screen conversations which seem too important to not show us. Like when Doug thanked Joey for giving him extra time to pay off the loan. When did that happen? Or when we abruptly moved from Vanessa/Joey at Uptown to Vanessa/Doug in the hotel room. The McBrides don't even have their own set - even though Vanessa is a realtor. It's a shame because I am a fan of the characters and actors.

      I am also adjusting to KR as Ted but I feel that AM and MJ had way more chemistry as father and daughter than AM and KR. We saw Eva dream of having a real relationship with MJ's version of Ted for months so it's a bit of a bummer not to have that payoff with the original actor except for those scenes in MJ's last episode.  Something I noticed about Eva today is how she takes genuine delight in being a schemer. As badly as she wants to be a Richardson, she still has so much of her mom in her. It was jarring seeing her earnestly promise to steer clear of Leslie in her scene with Ted, then immediately switch attitudes when her mom showed up.  I'm very surprised with how quickly the accident story has been moving along. I was sure that it would be months if not years before people figured out it was Leslie on the motorcycle, not to mention responsible for the potassium overdose. I'm looking forward to seeing how MVJ and Guza avoid writing Leslie into a corner.  Finally, I have been loving the Articulettes story. Bonita Brisker was just the right amount of OTT - remember Sharon is supposed to be even more angry than Tracy is. If Sharon didn't come in swinging, people would say she fell flat. The way Sharon and Tracy describe the breakup is so Supremes-meet-Original Recipe Destiny's Child. I get the sense that MVJ is re-writing the Return to Love Tour as a roman a clef, and I love it. I'm looking forward to finding out what the secret they share is. If Dante Green is as shady as Berry Gordy was, it's something dark. If/when they go through with the reunion, I expect Dante to show up and claim to own the Articulettes trademark in a Lou Pearlman-esque twist.
