Lol!  Nothing tragic.  Just talk of her getting on weight loss pills.   It's a weird thing to bring up, but I don't think anyone is rooting against Kirsten.  I think everyone wants our soap stars to be healthy and happy and have good hair.

The one bright side for me with Spencer & Trina is that it was a Black female with a White male, which we often don't see enough of in media. I'd love more inter-racial romance in soaps as an overall movement. Lots that could be done. And you're right: Black couples do deserve it, PERIOD POINT BLANK!!!

I kind of wish the teasing of TJ & Willow had happened more. Speaking of it, Katelyn MacMullen would've been a suitable Molly recast, although, I've grown to really like Kristen Vaganos in the role, and wish we would see more of her. Hoping Patrick Mulcahey fixes this in the coming months.

Donnell Turner & Brook Kerr have very little chemistry; it reminds me of Maura West & Marcus Colmoa: the women are carrying the pairing by having to use their own chemistry to create and compensate for their male co-stars.

We need a revival of the Ward family on the canvas. Hell, even give us Tommy Hardy Jnr, and that would give Elizabeth some kind of familiar connection on the canvas. Something. Anything. Give us SOMETHING!

YUP!

It should ideally be about talent but in the age of social media.....

YUP!

She really does, and I think that's why when Disney-ABC put her on recurring it took her aback and she decided to walk away. She knew the weight she carried on her shoulders and knew she deserved better, so she said "bye" until it was given to her.

I've been calling this for some time, and at this point it'll happen by the end of 2024. Although, I'd love to see them instead focus more on Jake / Aidan than Cameron at this point. Wait until 2025, honestly....

I am, too. It's a no-go for me!

Lotsa good hair on General Hospital lately I will say.

Definitely good hair for sure. lol. 

 

Well...good.

 

Yeah, I was still regularly viewing somewhat when he first appeared...that was around when Alexis was dealing with cancer if I'm not mistaken. I believe I stopped shortly after. I also believe I saw scenes of him with Georgie when she was alive and thought they were cute so it was a sharp pivot when I turned in later on and him and Maxie had already started. But I definitely was not around to get a feel for their popularity so thank you for confirming. 

 

Also thank you for confirming. That time is such a blur due to being on and off with the show. 

 

KM is at her best when she is being bad a la a vixen.  PC Liv. Sam during the Fan Wars That We Don't Name. Cuz she was THAT girl on PC

I never found her to be bad per se, but she could not have been more disinterested in at least 95% of her material over the years and it showed onscreen.

Im slowly learning the cast bit by bit but there are a [!@#$%^&*] ton of new characters on this show and every day I’m meeting someone new when watching. 
 

Just an aside I have limited exposure to the current Spencer but every time I’ve seen him I’ve found the actor very committed. He’s believable as a Cassadine to me. Moreso than the guy playing Nikolas in these episodes I’m seeing. To be fair my Nikolas viewing has only been limited to Tyler Christopher so it may just be my bias, but I just don’t see or feel Nikolas with this actor.

I think she has checked out many times, and has been almost totally checked out for years with Billy Miller gone. But I do think she woke up for scenes with the new Danny discussing Jason - the other day I somewhat cynically speculated this could be because Kelly is angling to get re-paired with Steve for job security, as she was said to have done a tearful mea culpa to their fanbase at a fan event not long ago over her vocal distaste for the couple vs. Drew/Sam during the Miller years. Whatever happened with Kelly and Big Steve BTS in the year or so before he left happened fast and hard, because after insisting on making us watch them together for the better part of 20 years the show suddenly couldn't end this longtime couple fast enough. I definitely don't want to go back to Jasam - I think Sam is spent tbh and should be off the show, like so many other characters - but we'll see what happens.

As for other topics: Wyndemere being suddenly and somewhat mysteriously sold makes me wonder if it’s a Mulcahey plot point being seeded. He wrote heavily for the Cassadines in the '90s.

There are way too many played out contract characters, and that's not even counting the seemingly endless stream of recurring players who are also on way too much or have way too much story. 50% of the cast you see on any given day, there is a good chance some of them are recurring yet in regular story.

    • Oh yes, that would be grand!  But Ken Corday will never allow that.  No executive-producer wants to hear people rave about how good his show "used to be".   
    • Not just that but Im sure she will be blamed for trying to poison Laura with potassium. Remember when Nicole started to put the pieces together that someone may have tampered with her IV? She dropped it bc she got distracted with the party, but they did make a note to mention that Eva lied and sent a card and flowers there on Nicole's behalf. Im sure they will say that that was just a cover for her to be in Laura's room and come for her
    • Susan named her son after her father, Richard, and they called him Dickie, for short. David had bought Dickie a play swing but it was too big for him. One day, while David was babysitting, he put Dickie in the swing, took his eyes off of him for a few seconds and he fell out of the swing, hit his head and died. Susan was so devastated that she shot and killed David only like a few episodes later. 
    • Mickey Horton got her off, temporary insanity. Edit to add: If only Peacock would air this storyline.  Edit to add: David was supposed to be watching the child. Wasn't. Child fell out of swing, broke his neck. The show had the camera focus on that empty swing, just barely moving ...   
    • oooh....the '76 plot thickens... thanks @Paul Raven

        New interview!! I was like Penny, aka Janet, and said, "That's the end???"
    • You're really in for it, because those rants continue for 3 episodes. I was struck by how ho-hum those cliffhangers were. It was like the writers ran out of gas.
    • New Tomas pleaseeeeeeee!!

    • Thank you for the clarification, but Susan didn't name her child after David.  It was Julie who named her own son David.   And how/when was Susan's son killed?  And didn't Susan kill David Martin and stand trial for his murder?   The genius of Bill Bell -- truly.  
    • I truly wish we could see more of her work on DAYS. And more of her early stuff on GH, but at least we know that Corday’s DAYS vault is virtually complete, especially compared to GH. Lesley was a pivotal character. I think the scenes with the confrontation with Monica are so good because there is a lot of character in those lines and performances. Monica is ferocious, desperate. And Lesley is not a victim, she holds her own and calls Monica out, playing her own form of anger. Evenly matched. Soap confrontations have largely forgotten that both sides should be evenly matched, even if someone has wronged another. To me, that scene is easily in my soap hall of fame. They didn’t make enough of her return, which has always bothered me. I would have loved for her to end up vying for control of the hospital when Alan was incapacitated by drugs, helping him through that crisis and finding herself at odds with Monica again on a different level, not as romantic rivals. She had such a long career! Acting in radio shows as a little kid, through her GH spots as few years ago. That’s quite a ride.
