Oh, I don't doubt it's possible. But I honestly find both characters superfluous. My only interest in Nina is playing to CW's strengths and writing a psycho arc for her to exit in a blaze of glory, preferably losing her marbles over Brenda - Nina came on this show batshít insane and that's how she can leave. Drew, I've talked about the dilemma with him as a blank slate and how he could be recast into anything with the right actor. But I'm so tired of what CM's been doing that I need him to be gone for at least a little while too lol.

I will add that Brook Kerr has been killing it as always and deserves a much stronger male partner onscreen. Be that an old or new Justus as I suggested or whoever else, free Portia!

I still feel like Nina is one bad move away from a breakdown.  Even though I hate weepy, insecure, apologizing Nina I do think CW is playing it like she is slightly unstable and trying desperately to keep it all together.

I agree. She's often done that IMO, but I also think it may just be harkening back to Annie Dutton from GL a bit. Either way it's appropriate for the character.

One tiny little hope is that PM/EK stop saying Drewfus saved anyone! The show is hemorrhaging credibility with lines like that one.

Now that Spencer is no longer around, Trina should be backburnered. Her screen time should go to Kristina. Kate Mansi is a good actor and Tabyana Ali is not.

You do understand that Trina and Kristina exist in different worlds, right? That their storylines don't touch? You have this weird dislike of Tabyana Ali.

 

-- I think AS and JS play Brook Lynn and Chase like a couple who's been married for 35 years.

They still love each other, but the horny days have been gone since forever. They're good friends and a peck on the cheek is more than enough.

Well, it SUCKS.

Josh Swickard did NOT act like this when Chase was with Willow, so I'm putting this on Amanda Setton. It is absolutely insane that GH (Frank?) is "honoring" her wishes regarding boundaries. Where else in entertainment would this be tolerated?

Daytime is not porn, it is not nudity. Her boundaries are just ridiculous, and it's pathetic that GH lets her call the shots. Setton is no Meryl Streep, and they could easily cast the role with someone who was willing to play a real married partner.

It's odd that I'mJohn hates Sonny. Because Sonny was there for Stone! And, Sonny & Robin had a special relationship. So I wonder what that story is.

He hates Sonny Because

John was dating Scott's daughter Karen

Karen remembered her mom's BF molested her as a kid

She ran off and ended up at Sonnys club where she danced on stage

Sonny liked her and Karen confided the abuse. Sonny than used that abuse and drugs to get Karen to continue stripping for him and even wanted Jagger to throw boxing fights or he would hurt Karen

So White Jagger (Wagger, if you will) is totally unrecognizable physically and in mannerisms lol. I don't understand the point of not going out and at least finding a dark Italian actor for this silly recurring role, but I don't understand the point of bringing back Jagger at all. Bizarre.

There has to be more to Jagger's return than just this case and I am liking him more each day. Im interested to see Adam & Mo in scenes tomorrow.

Thanks. My thinking was all compartmentalized. I was only thinking about Sonny WRT Robin & Stone. Now that Karen's been mentioned, I get it. Sonny getting her hooked on drugs was egregious. I'mJohn is entitled.

I feel like I explained this entirely already 10 posts ago.  There are reasons Jagger hates Sonny, but Karen made peace with Sonny long before she died.  Jagger/Karen broke up (offscreen) because he was cheating.   No one is a saint here.

Wagger is the best name ever.  Still don't know why he is back either.  So many people in this world can hate Sonny because he's a literal criminal.  Bringing back his "enemy" from 30 years ago is so weird.  It's not relevant to anything currently.

As a matter of fact you did! 🤞

I was thinking, to Ken Corday, What would TracyQ say? Deny. Deny. Deny. Obfuscate. 

Of course, they're in different universes. She's in Port Charles REELY. And, he's in La La Land, REALLY.

I don’t think it’s all her doing. He also had a child and they may both have those feelings about their families.

I don’t need them rolling around in the sheets. But give us something. Longing looks, intensity, romantic kissing. They could easily do all that. And if Josh is cool with being shirtless, give us him without a shirt the morning after sitting at the kitchen table with her in a chaste nightgown, with the look. Tousled hair, that kind of look people give each other after great sex between them.

There are plenty of ways to sell romance without them dry humping. Genie Francis was able to do a lot of heavy lifting to make Tony Geary seem undeniable before they paired them, just with her tortured eyes. I know that was a long time ago, and they were very talented. But still!

To think: there was a time when we couldn't get even that much from our soaps, lol.

Josh Swickard and his wife Lauren have two children, born in 2021 and 2023.  Maybe his feelings changed after the second child was born?
