I was convinced Montague was going to drug either Cody or Sasha (or both). Of course, this latest development/plot point means no-one will listen to them when they plead their case.

And as I’ve said before, I still think Gladys may extricate herself from trouble, leaving Montague to carry the whole can.

Shut up, Portia.

And I can't believe I'm saying this, but Cody actually is starting to grow on me lol I'm actually interested by him and Sasha going on the run.

GH, in general, does seem to be stuck in a rut though. Hopefully, they go all out for sweeps again. I got a few ideas in my mind lol

HP caused two accidents that Day. The second which seriously injured the driver in the other car. HP only cared about her expensive shirt getting messed up.

HP needs rehab and maybe a prison stay. I dont care if NLG & MB like HP, she shouldnt be  back at GH. That time has sailed.

As it happens I agree with you & I will go you one further. She lied by omission to Frank, calling & telling him she'd had an "accident" & broken bones & had to be in casts & on crutches, etc. but NOT mentioning the DUI, the arrest, the Blood Alcohol level. Frank & whomever else learned about that part of her evening when the story broke in the news, which was apx. 3 weeks & some days after the (1) hit-and-run and (2) head-on collision. I was told that the divider there is about 2 feet high so she jumped that presumably. I figure that car was going very fast & was wildly out of control. She easily could have killed someone. It makes me ill to think about it. 

And, NLG has a distinct reputation on Twitter. She is very aggressively critical, so this "different" stance is glaring.

Obviously if Haley Pullos is in prison, then she can't be on the show, but if she's available and is likely to avoid a jail sentence, then let the girl work!  Having her be productive, busy and working as an actor helps her pay restitution to her victim(s), too, and keeps her out of trouble.

What are you talking about with KDP?  Didn't Blair Cramer already show up in Port Charles?  I'd rather Dorian Cramer or her daughter Cassie make an appearance instead of Blair.  Major bummer if Susan Lucci declined to make a surprise cameo on GH, especially after Walt Wiley did so well playing opposite Lucy & Felicia.  If they're trying to develop that Pine Valley primetime spin off, it helps to keep these AMC characters alive on GH.  If La Lucci won't appear, then maybe they can pivot to having Opal Gardner being Tracy's partner-in-crime.

Portia tearing into Anna today is another example of why Portia is the second most annoying female character on this show (after that arrogant Diane dingbat).  I don't understand how/why the writers can stomach writing for these sanctimonious, whiny, unlikable characters.  Curtis needs to finally dump this loser.

Well, those 3 weeks & a day or two went by & she didn't go in the direction of rehab. Then, TMZ broke the story & that next day she went to a spa-like rehab. I believe she was there for 28 days. I figure she went on advice of counsel. If not, why didn't she go the day after the wreck? Why wait 3 weeks? I just think she should never work at GH again. If she cleans up her act & is held accountable & has paid restitution, sure I think she should have the chance to get hired by someone again, just not GH

Like I said I am trying to find out if there is any truth to the rumor that Lucci was first choice but declined. Then I reflected on KDP being second choice to Lucci, if that is true. That is all. But, I think primetime AMC reboot is dead & will not be brought back to life. 

I have Gladys in that #1 spot. Portia is a huge disappointment.

Haley Pullos and Molly isn't a hill I am willing to die on or anything.  She did some awful things.  It just seems like other troubled soap stars with addiction struggles on this board get a lot more grace from some posters.  I think you can feel bad for the actual victims and also hope that Haley gets it together so she doesn't hurt herself or anyone else again.   Hoping she never works again and lives under a bridge so she can't afford a tall boy of beer seems counterproductive.

I didn't really intend to stir up the whole shebang "Haley Pullos irresponsible at 24" debate. All I really meant to do was introduce the fact that NLG is still advocating for them to let her come back. The only other thing I will note is that Tyler Christopher has not been given a second chance, at least not so far.

Tyler doesn't seem physically capable of taking a soap role at this point otherwise I suspect he would have been given another shot.   And reading between the lines of Tyler's own words he was given several chances from GH and Days we just didn't hear about it.  Tyler's struggles have gone on behind the scenes for years and he still hasn't conquered his demons.  I hope one day TC is healthy enough to return to GH, but I think Tyler is truly unemployable at this point.  I don't think he's actually blacklisted from soap work or anything.

    • Which could make sense , except that we have seen Mariah function for years w/o any real residue pain from her upbringing. Josh decides to randomly make it a thing, when a good writer might foreshadow that for months. It's not like he's just arrived at the show. He's been there for years . Everything seems to be thought out only a few weeks ahead. It's like Phyllis all freaky from being kidnapped when she has done a million other things that didn't seem to bother her at all.
    • Unrelated, sort of, but he looks absolutely nothing like Amanda Setton or Dominic Zamprogna so it's kind of hilarious they decided to make Gio their kid.  It's very clear this was not the original origin story for Gio when they cast him. He is a very handsome guy though. 
    • I tend to agree, although going back to OLTL, Frank has so often cast guys who are meant to be attractive yet come across as cold and dead, I'm surprised he managed to get one who has a bit of a pulse.
    • For all I care, the boy can parade around in a g-string.  It won't make this show suck any less.
    • AMC was about a decade later so things may have changed by then, although maybe they never approached her anyway. She joined Santa Barbara in 1985, when they didn't seem interested in bringing back Hope. SB ended in late 1992, so JFP could have asked her back, but I doubt she did. For as much as JFP clearly had some use for Rick Hearst given that she hired him on GH and kept him around as often as she could, I don't think she ever used Alan-Michael well. I can't see Elvera as Delia, but she could have worked well as Faith - she had a glimpse of a strong personality alongside warmth, which only one Faith ever managed (Catherine Hicks).
    • IIRC, FC reruns aired for awhile on Lifetime, way before the network became the Women in Peril Channel, lol.
    • PAM!! YES!!! You have jogged my memory. She worked at Cedars. She's mentioned in a write-up of Tim's history in the show. It says she was a nurse, but I seem to remember she was a secretary at Cedars, working for either Ed or Sarah. (It's almost 50 years ago, so I definitely could be wrong). I'm certain she was an unwed mother. I recall reading an interview with the actress, Maureen Silliman (I looked it up, that's her correct name, LOL). She started on the show just before the Dobsons started writing it. She was shocked to get a script that said her character had been pregnant since she hit town. I remember a scene where she told Tim she was going to leave SF for a better job for her daughter's sake (really, I think she was upset he was serious about Rita). I don't remember them getting married and leaving town, but according to "Who's Who in Springfield" that's how the characters were written out. Mattson did All My Children for several years, so she might have been persuadable. Here's an interesting factoid I recently learned on these message boards: Elvera Roussel was in the running to play Delia on RH when the show first hit the air. How wild is it that Mattson played Delia for a while? (Though from what I saw of her performance, she was miscast). It's hard to know if Roussel would have been a good Delia. You'd think she would have been better suited to playing Faith Coleridge, but who knows? She didn't get to show a whole lot of range as Hope.
    • If I were to do an EON reboot, I think I would start at the beginning, with Mike Karr leaving the police force in order to begin a new career as an attorney, and dealing with his wife, Sara's, crooked family.
    • I don't know if it was the writing or performance but I felt like we finally got to see the real Ted. Especially the way he talked to Martin when confronted, felt like a completely different person. He felt darker and like a total liar who was mad he got caught. I expected him to be remorseful and want to apologize to each and every family member who he came into contact with but he seemed like he didn't care. It completely changed how I view him and it makes me wonder if this is the direction they're going to take Ted in with the recast.
