Gotta love GH prisons -- where inmates are always left alone so they can get into arguments and physical brawls.

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???

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.   

Not really. Molly is a non-entity with her occasional pop-ins. Now, had the nanny been cast as Molly or Kriegel been kept, I would've been happier.

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.

We don't. We really don't, especially since we barely see the children meant to be on-canvas right now.

At this point, Molly should just ask Maxie if she could have one of her many kids.

Given how overwhelmed Maxie is with three... she may hand-off one of the little ones, haha.

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.

I'm just wondering how she bought it from Bobbie... when Bobbie told her in May she no longer owned it. 😕

I can't see Laura Sisk's Carly run Kelly's.

Laura Wright's Carly can run Kelly's. It's the other incarnations I cannot see. And maybe they will re-introduce The Cellar. What does not make sense is how Bobbie sold it to Carly, when she didn't even own it in May.

Perhaps that is why she sold it to her for one dollar.

Many times on social media, I see viewers of the show wonder if the writers read fan comments. I know other writers who check in periodically like me, while some avoid it altogether. Why, you ask?

Take a look at this small sampling of vicious comments. Please believe me when I say this kind of nastiness is all-too-common. Can you imagine how it would feel if people barraged you with venomous, unnecessarily spiteful reviews about your job performance? People who lash out despite not knowing or understanding a fraction of how you do your job or the mitigating factors that impact your ability to be successful?

On a daily basis, our writing team is accused of being lazy, stupid, racist, misogynistic, etc. This is incredibly hurtful and unfair. Can you really blame writers for avoiding comments when we know it could be deleterious to our mental health?

The fact is, there are countless factors that determine the production of a television show (especially one with fast-moving parts like GH). Our hardworking writing team isn't in sole control of every aspect of our storytelling, but we do work incredibly hard to deliver what we're asked to

Don't get me wrong: We want feedback. Input. Constructive criticism. We love that viewers are engaged and invested. Some of you have "known" these characters for decades. We get it.

Whether here on my page or out on Instagram, Twitter, Threads or Reddit, I'm happy fans discuss the show, including your likes and dislikes. But it's all in the WAY those opinions are expressed that make the difference between healthy debate and engagement, or toxic fandom.

Tagging actors or writers to put them down; employing derogatory terms; demanding we get fired; suggesting we don't deserve what we're striking for; "joking" that scab writers will do a better job -- all of these kinds of comments are pretty vile.

Every member of the GH cast and crew is a human being, with feelings. Unfortunately, anonymity has empowered angry people to forget their own humanity.

If you've made it this far, thank you for reading and understanding. I'd love to hear what storylines you're excited about and which you're less so; just please be careful and kind.

This world needs more empathy and more nuance, in general. Let's start with ourselves.

ps. And if you participate in discussion spaces where supposed fans are being toxic, please feel free to share what I've written here!

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.
