Based on what I heard, the producers are using the money saved by eliminating RH's contract to pay three male actors playing returning characters. One of them is the Adam Huss version of Nikolas. The second is Bobbie's son Lucas, who briefly returns for Bobbie's funeral. The third is Lucky, who returns for Bobbie's funeral and might stick around.

I also head that Rebecca Buddig will return as Hayden for a few episodes. She could take custody of Violet and then leave. If Finn loses Violet, then the character is approaching his end. If Gregory dies of ALS, that would leave Harrison as the only member of the Chase family left on canvas.

I like the sound of this! As long as Chase (Harrison) doesn't sing, I like him with BLQ & also as a cop. Finn, Violet &  Gregory are all, to me anyway, excellent nominees for the chopping block! 

Did some checking. Ryan Carnes as Lucas will be at Bobbie's funeral. No to Lucky. No to Hayden. Take it as you will, FWIW.

For those who missed the last 10 minutes of the show. The Tyler Christopher In loving Memory screen was shown.  Nina with a helper from Metro Court brought bunches of pizzas they made in their brand new pizza oven to the Qs. Lois got Gloria to tell what is wrong. She was playing Bingo at the Russian Orthodox church & had a verbal altercation with a Russian woman who is married to the head guy in the Russian mob there & Gloria's little dog has been threatened so someone is hiding the dog & she fled to Port Charles. Yuri overheard & volunteered to help with Russian problem. Says people just think he is a nice guy.

For every episode, GH posts the last five minutes of the episode on their facebook page.  They've been doing this for 3 years.  They started doing it in 2020 due to all the ABC news local and national news bulletins about COVID (and bulletins about politics) interrupting the end of the show.  They continued this and still do it.   They do this daily for ALL new episodes (even if there is no news interruption).

Here's the last five minutes of Monday N ov. 27 with the still image tribute to Tyler Christopher at the very end:

Shawn Reeves, Emmy-winning Costume Designer at AW, then GL, now for years, GH. He's the one who makes Maura West look fabulous in just about everything he puts her in. He's the one who came up with a bridal gown for Brooke Kerr that showed off every curve in her body. He's the one who has come up with so many different pinks because pink is Taby's superpower, ... I could go on. I haven't seen today yet, headed there now, but she's been better in general of late. Rule of thumb to think about these things. If they can dress these others as well as they can & do, it is something with the one where it is not true.

    • Googling does tend to ruin it.  For those of us who were teens in the late 1970s and early 1980s, you can't imagine how much fun it was to watch the show in the afternoons.  (It came on right after school.)  There weren't any "spoilers" at the time.  We would always try to anticipate how each crime and each mystery would be resolved, and we were ALWAYS wrong, because the stories are filled with so many weird twists and turns.   The head writer (Henry Slesar) and his dialogue writer (Steve Lehrman) invariably toss genuine clues directly into your face in the most unlikely ways, but then they provide a host of "red herrings" to completely confuse you and send you off on the wrong path.  Once the story reaches its conclusion, all you can think is Why didn't I figure that out weeks ago?  lol
    • Does the vault have the original scene and not the short flashback?
    • I appreciate that you are using AI with the knowledge of it's limitations. Some posters take everything it produces as fact.
    • And of course Mama Ru herself appeared on All My Children.
    • The Saturday 8pm slot usually had the lowest rating of the NBC 4 sitcom lineup for some reason. NBC let Saturday night fizzle, They used 9.30 pm to launch 227 and Amen, both of which moved to earlier in the evening but they  kept Empty Nest following GG for several seasons.  Empty Nest should have moved to 8pm with their strongest new sitcom at 9.30, anticipating that GG would eventually falter. Instead they left them there and stretching the sitcom pool too thinly on other nights. When Grand talk over at 9.30 Thurs maybe Night Court and Wings could have been used on Saturday.
    • @Maxim Great to see your mini-reviews again. There are a number of clips on Youtube of Janice's slow mental breakdown, especially as we go into January 1980. Christine Jones is just superb. She played the hell out of that role. Something which isn't referenced as much later on is how Mitch pushed Janice's doubts and mental instability for his own ends...until suddenly he didn't want to anymore (I guess he caught on with the audience and the show became wary). I don't want to post a bunch of clips, but this one has a very good confrontation between Rachel and Janice.

      This has a good scene around 7 minutes in where you can see Janice struggling internally with her need to identify herself so much by the men around her, all of which helps lead to her crackup.  
    • It really made Oscar the Doorman seem like an imbecile.   I think the show's unusual format & subject manner is what makes EON often seem less "dated" and "old-fashioned" than other shows from that time period.  It never attempted to be especially "trendy" or "modern" -- and its film noir style is pretty timeless.  
    • Dallas, Dynasty, Knots and Falcon Crest all had good runs but by 85 they had seen better days. I think they were a victim of the format. After several seasons seeing the same characters front and center viewers were bored. What was once fascinating grew predictable. JR, Alexis etc had to be front and center and after a while their schemes and shtick grew repetitive. JR remarrying Sue Ellen, Alexis constantly trying to get he better of Blake etc Unlike daytime, there wasn't the flexibility to bring in other stories and characters and maybe let the likes JR go backburner. That same mentality also invaded daytime with characters like  Sonny and Victor still peddling the same stuff after decades. I guess the same could be said for MSW eg every week Jessica encounters a crime and solves it,but I think viewers come to that format with a different mindset.
    • Daphnee and Trisha did a live stream on Instagram and confirmed they find out if the show gets picked up in May. This pretty much confirms they're on the primetime schedule like the Bell soaps. Fingers crossed we get a multi-year renewal announcement soon!  https://www.instagram.com/reel/DJSsYb7PDv8/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==        
    • I don't think Lois the character was there.  The Lois we knew from the 90s has pretty much died with this  Gio story crap.
