I can't stand Violet.  I can't stand the actress.  I know she's a child and I am an awful person, but I hope Hayden somehow gains full custody so I don't have to see her again. 

I don't mind Charlotte as much, but no GH kids except James/Georgie act like normal kids.  Violet and Charlotte do use the most antiquated expressions lol.

I like her there too, and it does fit. What I need is someone for her to play off. She needs a sparring partner at the paper, an equal. Nancy excels with snappy repartee and I miss that aspect of her time as a lawyer.

I imagine part of why I don't like her at the paper is #1 Gregory and #2 Esme. Right now the only time I enjoy Alexis is when the Davis women come together.

Ugh, Violet singing. Actually it wasn't as bad as I thought it might be. She is a very talented young girl. My good friend in southern California is friends with her parents, who used to be performers in Cirque du Soleil. The girl has many artistic talents (and does write her own songs).But a little Violet goes a looooong way.  

I see her front teeth have fully grown in now. That must make her about, what, 7 or 8 years old?

That singing was torture. Give me 20 seconds of it and I won't comment at all, but that went on FOREVER. GH acts like they've discovered some child singing prodigy AND THEY HAVEN'T.

Of course, GH also acts like Eddie Maine is a Spotify sensation, so there's that.

I don't know why I didn't know this! I LOVE IT! It's driving me crazy that Robert likes her. EW. And she has horrid attitudes! She is so superior. I really think she thinks she is better than everyone else. The friendship with Alexis makes me want to barf. I haven't used the word barf in years! 

I haven't liked Diane since forever, for all the reasons you name. I think Carolyn Hennesy is a decent actress, but to be perfectly honest, I can't get past her right wing politics, and that's what I see when she's on my screen. I am probably unfair, but I feel like she's playing herself.

 

sounds like the actress's mom had something to do with her singing ugh

I feel creepy saying this because she's a child but I cannot stand Violet, the whole package, actress & character!

Now, Charlotte's "Papa!" drives me crazy but I do realize the actress is good, so that's not as bad as Violet. I really truly want Hayden to come get her!

And my memory tells me Eddie Maine used to be entertaining. And when I see Wally with the guys he's good. But, NEddie ... wasn't good at all, not one bit! How weird is that?

Well, it's true I hate her politics, so that exists. But, really my dislike of Diane is separate but just as bad. 😉🤣 The only thing I enjoyed about Diane was when Robert humiliated her over Holly! So that's ugly! 

Allow me to clarify.  I have no notes for two actresses.  I think there is a time and place for child actors on soaps, and one expects a few saccharine scenes around the winter holidays.

It is the archaic dialogue that I find objectionable.  It sticks out like a sore thumb that you have contemporary discussions about surrogacy and debt one day, and then little girls screaming, “papa, papa wherefore art thou?” the next.

I liked Violet and always thought the actress was cute, especially with her lisp. However, the moment she began ordering dinner and dates, et al, is when the allure wore off. Now? Hayden can come back to town, visit Elizabeth & others, collect Finn & Violet, and leave town, and when she returns, both are living without her somewhere in Europe or something.

I think the lisp gets me.  And again, I am fully admitting to being a horrible human that's making fun of a child.  I don't find her cute or precocious.  If I was Liz I'd run far.  Because of Finn obviously and that daughter of his. 

I quit watching GH in 2020. Does Genie have a good story? She was my only reason for watching and it becomes too difficult to watch a soap for only one character (I also love Felicia but she wasn’t on contract then).

If I were Liz I'd run, too. I wouldn't want my sister's ex-fiancé and niece in my life that way.

Lol!  I am not even ashamed to say it took me a minute to wonder why Violet called Liz "Aunt Liz" and I thought she was way too familiar with her dad's girlfriend. 🤣

I'll be honest and say Hayden is just a character that's a weird fever dream for me.  Why didn't they just make her Sarah?  Why does this character even exist?  If the show was going to get a name and hire Budig why did they make the character so random and awful?

Ask the "writer," haha. It would have made sense to just make her Sarah and bring the character back, instead of retconning things to suit one's own delusional preconceived notions their stories are worthwhile and pay-off. And then tie-in Billy Miller's casting as Jason Morgan? Whew. Choices. Honestly, I'd love to see Sarah return to Port Charles, but it seems like the writing regimes really dislike the character.

As I've said before, Eddie Maine ain't no Gordon Lightfoot. lol

Eddie Maine singing that horrid siren song was just too much cheesy cornball.
