Spinelli doesn't bother me that much.  Listen, you saw my list of characters to go and Spinelli was not on it.  He's okay in very small doses.  He peaked in annoyance about a decade ago, but I still think I would take him if I got a lot less Violet, Finn, Michael, and Willow.  I reserve the right to change my mind if it becomes too much again.

This is great! It just sucks that Britt is not around. That pairing was going somewhere until they added the poorly written Carly marriage story (which could have been done better). I dont want to see him with Sam though. Pull someone unexpected not Carly or Elizabeth again.

Being that this was always a possibility, they should've just said Jason went somewhere on a mission or got kidnapped rather than died.

Jason had actually taken lead status from Sonny in 2017, but they show rightfully has a more ensemble function now.

I just kinda have a feeling that Drewfus might be seeing an exit soon. 
Basically the whole GH world is in an uproar over his speech to Nina which was his expressing his frustration that he couldn't fight her because she's a woman, because he wouldn't hit a woman. Me, it didn't bother me. I find it to be a very real relatable feeling. Of course, it's a good thing that he has values that would prevent him from doing physical violence to a woman & there's no reason it's not also a good thing for him to express that.

You halfway expect that to be like the joke wall on "Laugh-In."  (Monaco: "Is that another one of those chicken jokes?")

You and I know very well that it was all she could do not to stab Frank Grillo in the head repeatedly when they worked together on GL.

I'm not sure about the last one (pairing Jason with Liz) but I'm down for the other two. 

They could say that Jason had his memories restored by a surgeon who operated on him after that cave-in and found scar tissue on his brain that had been affecting his memory and personality; and that Jason has been living away from Port Charles under an assumed name, due to the guilt and shame he has felt over his association with Sonny and alienation from his family.

Then, down the road, Jason decides to go back to school and become a paramedic (with his education largely funded by Sonny, of course, lol).

I just don't see any point in spitballing about Jason. Steve will never agree to play Jason Q again and the show will never force him to. His looks have dramatically declined in the pandemic and his performance is as banal as it's been for many years. I'd simply kill him for good.

    • GM is adorable, charming and fun onscreen despite months of nothing to do until recently, and has a bodacious bod. I'm not cosigning the show or this story - I haven't watched a full episode in over a month - but I think we're all taking the small victories in 2025 at this point. I'm open to testing this theory!
    • I think Jason might've posted some numbers for the syndication a while ago and the numbers for Falcon Crest was horrible. Like 1.5 rating or something, which was terrible.    ETA: it was actually Paul Raven:   New to syndication 60 min Fall Guy 67 markets 3.1/8 Falcon Crest 110 markets 1.1/5 To get into the top 40, you needed a 4.6/9 rating for reference - and Falcon Crest managed to get into a lot of markets to begin with. In the fall of 1985 Dynasty, Dallas and Knots were syndicated (show / rating / share / coverage % / markets): Dallas 3.4 10 51.7 92 Dynasty 3.4 10 48.7 47  Knots Landing 3.3 10 12.5 20  So, Knots as an example trippled Falcon Crest's rating with 20 markets - I'm sure those were major ones but it just goes to show you how much Falcon Crest bombed in syndication. 
    • It's not bad but the stories move too slow. It's the same problem when Dan O'Connor was CO-HW with Van Etten, they have a million stories and they all drag on endlessly with no resolution. I'd argue the majority of the stories airing now are good but you get sick of waiting months for something to happen.
    • Thanks. I must have missed that period entirely for Lifetime. 
    • Thanks. I know Marland did that type of thing sometimes but it's less likely with these characters. I don't even remember Alex ever mentioning him.
    • French fan summary Rusty took over Simon's job at Lewis Trucking after Simon transferred to Lewis Oil's North Carolina office to live near Jessie and Calla. I doubt they would bother following up a story for offscreen characters eg marriage and a baby.
    • I suspected that the performance with the reveal was the reason why the Ted actor got the axe and it looks like I was right. He wasn't really good at conveying what needed to be conveyed in those scenes. Claybon is at least slowly improving (but I agree that he still needs to work on his line delivery), but I do wonder what will happen when his big reveal is coming up. 
    • I've already asked this before, recently, but can anyone who watched those years more closely tell me if anything said about Jessie and Simon at the end of their profiles is accurate (about them marrying, naming a baby after Brandon/Lujack, etc.)?
    • Nicole is way too smart to not know she was carrying twins - she's a doctor! My guess is that Leslie did abort her baby out of fear, and as payback, stole Ted and Nicole's child (Eva), and stole Kat from another family to replace her in the hospital.
    • Those Soap Central profiles have a lot of incorrect info. According to SOD summaries and the Daytime Newsletter of the time,Tim left town for a new job and Pam reunited with the father of her baby and also departed Springfield.They did not marry.
