Oh, interesting. Hmmm... don't know if the character would work now since they're intent on keeping Willow alive and stuck to Michael. Maybe with a recast it could happen (Michael), but who knows...

Wasn't Christina in Paris with Serena? I vaguely remember that happening.

I was just a casual viewer of PC, although I had a pretty solid knowledge of who was who and what not.  I was just really confused by it all.  You explained it pretty well, but I absolutely could not tell you what the hell I watched back then.   The idea isn't bad honestly-I just think there were so many loose ends to explain it actually just spiraled out of control.   

Listen, I don't like the choice of Heather being Esme's mom.  It really doesn't make sense.  Heather has become this super villian that's been everywhere.  Rachel Locke works for me.  And you know, if one day Kelly Monaco just said she was playing Livvie instead of Sam one day I don't think it would make any difference. 

They absolutely should not pair Zoe Ward with Michael at this point, but in 2011 it wasn't the worst idea.

I don't remember if Serena said that.  It's possible.

I thought in concept, on paper resolving the PC continuity issue was a fun idea - I don't mind a little supernatural jaunt, this is the show that did Casey the Alien. But the execution was a total mess and looked cheap and goofy as hell, and Ron's weird workarounds to 'explain' things re: Caleb, Stephen Clay, etc. sucked, especially since ultimately I think they turned out to also just be some sort of nonsense cover story for the magic spell or whatever. The plot doesn't make much sense at all, you have to wing it in your head lol. I also did not watch the final arcs of PC, which that story leaned heavily on. Points for continuity, but c'mon.

I have no use for Kelly remaining on the show at this point tbh, I think Sam is spent, maybe forever. But if she was up to do a few days as Livvie to tie some of it off I wouldn't mind. No idea how you could make that work at this point other than tossing an explanation off in two to four lines of dialogue vs. doing another months-long magic vampire story, lol. Just give a quick explanation that feels plausible, doesn't involve the words 'magic ring' and let fans blame the magic for the rest lol.

So, honestly, I have never been sure why KeMo didn't play Livvie in the first place.  I know there are a ton of things that had to be explained away, but it couldn't be any worse than Sam's actual backstory.   I assume Guza/Frons just wanted to distance themselves from that failed soap.  For Ron to try to tie it all back together a decade later just seems like a recipe for failure.  You've lost any momentum you possibly had from PC.

Per Soapcentral.com:

❝ Even though Monaco will be remaining in the fictional town of Port Charles, she will portray a newly created character by the name of Samantha. According to network insiders, the writers at General Hospital felt it would be too difficult to address the supernatural aspects of Monaco's Port Charles character on General Hospital. ❞

In other words, Robert Guza Jnr & Charles Pratt Jnr didn't want to continue what Barbara Esensten and James Harmon Brown essentially would have handed them.

TBH since Liam is a utter dud on BOLD, FV should offer SC what ever he wants to return as Dillon, at least then he could once again play a beloved character(which Liam never really was lol)

 

 I like Kevin and Laura, but Kevin and Lucy were just so great together, but Kevin can only be cheated on so many times by Lucy without looking a huge fool lol 

Supposedly recast Molly is permanent? lol

Basically half the posts on this very thread and every GH monthly thread are answering which 10 cast members we'd cut.......

If I were BAS and her family I would probably steer clear of things like twitter and GH Facebook.  She's very "youthful" in real life though.

  Poor guy trying to defend his sister on GH Facebook of all reasonable places.

Seriously.  It's cringey.  I am sure he meant well, but sharing things like she was 30 when she played a 16 year in awkward lol?

  And on the GH Facebook Fan Page?  The most down to earth, clear headed GH place on the internet.  If this "permanent" Molly is playing Molly in a year from now I will be shocked.   It's funny though because did anyone really even care about Molly before HP's issues and these recasts?  I didn't.

      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.
