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.

    • Such a missed opportunity… 
    • Loved Valerie Mahaffey as crazy as a box of frogs Sandy Cooper on Wings. 2025 needs to chill out already. May Ms. Mahaffey rest in peace.
    • She was great on there. And Wings. And so many shows. I don't feel like we get those character actors as much now.
    • Cady did have a southern accent as Dixie in her first few years playing the character... but it started to minimize the longer she played the character (which tracks because my aunt had a heavy southern accent when married my uncle and years living in the north has softened it quite a bit). Her initial stint playing Rosanna was partly due to mirroring the previous actress and eventually developing her own take on the character. And the thing about her take as Kelly on Y & R was that she was too sedate when she first took over playing the role (she was supposed to play a woman that had recently lost her child.. and trying to keep things together) and then went OTT crazy and didn't play it well.    And I don't care to remember her attempt at playing Jennifer on Days. I think this Pamela character is the first time she's playing a character from the start and I think she's like a kid at a candy store.  She's having so much fun trying different things... and I hope eventually she decides to settle on a more consistent character for Pamela (perhaps her love of accents is a character trait based on something traumatic that happened to her in the past maybe).
    • That's sad. I remember her mostly from ER and the shortlived, yet very funny, sitcom The Powers That Be.
    • As always loved seeing Ric with Liz. I hope the show forever keeps them in each others orbit even if it’s just platonic. I’m sure she’s going to cut him out when she finds out he’s blackmailing Alexis though. So darn.
    • I have to be honest I’m really struggling with this show. I love everything with Eva/Leslie/Ted/Nicole/Kat and enjoy Dani and Bill’s shenanigans (I’m on the Hayley needs to be recast train now tho), Chelsea is second to Kat as my favorite Dupree grandkid and I loved her coming out to her mom. The show was on a truly great run with the big Leslie and Eva reveal at Nicole and Ted’s anniversary party and the fall out has still been good even with the unnecessary Ted recast and them making Leslie kind of dumb by exposing herself too much unnecessarily. The real problem for me started when they rotated back to way too damn much screen time for Derek/Ashley/Andre (if anyone should have been up first for a recast it was these three IMO). They tried way too hard to drum up drama between Ashley and Derek and the actors were clearly fighting for their mediocre charisma less acting lives to make it work but none of it landed, just horrible. Naomi and Jacob and this weird homeless woman story are also BORING. I can see where its potentially going but IDGAF at all, my only hope for them is that they’re building a triangle with Naomi/Jacob/Kat because Jacob and Kat have stronger chemistry together than their current love interests (Eva is the only one who can make the awful Tomas work). Martin, his secret and still cringe worthy acting got kind of interesting with Bill dropping hints to Smitty but they completely lost me with that lil fakeout scene at the country club. The lame “teenagers” (air quotes because Samantha is no Bianca Lawson and never beating the black Andrea Zuckerman allegations) can get off my screen as well. Joey creeping on Vanessa is grossing me out at this point, I actually quite like Vanessa and Doug now but Joey falls totally flat as a villain and someone we’re supposed to buy Vanessa being enamored with. I’m glad they’ve finally set up something interesting for Vernon and Anita to do with this girl band reunion instead of Anita wringing her hands and telling us she feels darkness coming and Vernon giving a civil rights speech every episode but yeah… People who’ve posted with me for other shows know I’m not one for fast forwarding or hate watching either, if I find a majority of a show is not working I usually just quit but because of what this show represents for me as a Black male soap fan I really want to stick it out. Its just become a challenge lately. I saw Guza has left the building and I REALLY hope we hear about some more BTS changes. The additions of Tracy Thompson and Jamie Giddens don’t exactly inspire a lot of confidence from me tho. Honestly praying hard for a new EP to replace JHC, a lot of the stuff that annoyed about her PC and AMC runs has started to match up here. I’m giving the show through the Summer to rectify some things but IDK how long I can hold on tbh. Its been a struggle to even finish some of these episodes lately.
    • I agree. I liked the episode but it felt jarring to suddenly return to a bunch of plots that had been put on pause since the Nurses' Ball started. Although I did like Laura popping in at the end to tell Alexis that millions of dollars have suddenly disappeared from Ace's trust fund. One set of scenes that made me feel optimistic for the next few months were between Sofia Mattsson and Rory Gibson. While Rory has been good as a darker, colder Michael this week, I was worried that he might not have much range. But he really warmed up with Mattsson, and I thought that (for the first time) Michael and Sasha had some genuine chemistry.
    • Next week is going to be such a sad time... I just feel it based on what was shown today. I'm wondering if the whole John being bandaged thing being a throwback to how he first arrived on the show was a Ron C idea since it just seems as though this would be something he would come up with.  If so, it's good that Cwikly/Ford are in charge with the implementing of the idea instead of him. Just a delayed thought from the Ciara scenes earlier in the week, or last week.. and how she had an odd way of dressing/acting.  I chuckle because little Ciara did say that she admired and wanted to be just like Kristen when she grew up.  So the fact that her outfit choices are so odd/off beat and her manner is a bit OTT just fits.. especially since Eileen's Kristen had an odd sense of fashion and that frantic OTT undertone to her delivery. With that said, a part of me wonders how Eileen's Kristen would have handled the scenes being done this week in regards to John's situation.   
    • My god the smirking was back in full force today. He almost started smiling after Johnny mentioned he wouldn’t be there if EJ hadn’t raped Sami. I will say I did like seeing him with Dee as they’ve always had great chemistry.    They really are giving a lot of false hope with John getting better. I wish they hadn’t done that. Monday is going to be devastating. I really liked all the characters mixing and mingling today.  Nu-Rachel is still too sweet for me. Loved all the flashbacks. Everyone looked so young. Really enjoyed Brady’s scenes with John today.
