I definitely think any Black actor paired with a white lead that has even a passing semblance of interest from the show will get more to do. That's the nature of this subgenre. The only exception to this rule is T.J. and Molly, both of whom FV abandoned utterly over a decade ago when he couldn't make Haley Pullos' Molly into NuStarr (which he and Ron attempted to do by selling her with a Cole Thornhart-alike white twink while making the super-talented Tequan Richmond the heavy in a triangle). And I am a major booster for more interracial romance on the show (I actually do want Laura's new man to be Black, just not Curtis!). But it also shouldn't be reduced to a cynical calculation by 2024, and the fact is Black actors should not be wholly dependent on a white partner to get better airtime and story, Black couples deserve it period.

That being said: I do want better for Brook Kerr for a partner, of any color, than DT. He just doesn't give a shît, which makes me sympathize with the show passing him over less and less. Meanwhile Real gets nothing and he gave those scenes last year his all.

Poor TJ.  Molly/TJ were finally going to get a story and Haley Pullos had to mess it all up.

As far as DT, I agree there were missed opportunities in the past for his character and chemistry was ignored to pair him with a Black actress.  I don't think he's underutilized now.  In fact, he's over utilized IMO.  I honestly don't think DT and BK have much chemistry though, but there are many white couples on the show that have no chemistry too.  I hope the new regime will take that into account.

Exactly. Curtis is given the lion's share of story despite the fact that he's the least dynamic character and actor.

If Mulcahey has any power and if MVJ is truly back, my desperate hope against hope is we'll finally see a real Ward revival on the canvas. I remember JFP and Guza patting themselves on the back in the soap press over adding Annie Ilonzeh as Maya (and promising over and over to add her sister Zoe, which never happened) only to do nothing with her and to let her dip for a primetime gig and fizzle out for months. Imagine Steve Burton's (admittedly very weathered) face if they brought back Keesha.

Your point is fair, but like @Vee, I think it's disrespectful to Brook Kerr.  She's giving it.  If he was paired with Jordan I could understand.  I actually think DT gets a decent amount of airtime though.  Do you think if he was paired with Nina he'd get more?  I don't really think so.

Totally agree about it being a diss to Brook Kerr who the show sorta considers a queen or a princess or something like that.

Heck, me, too. The info that she did is widespread. Maybe even ubiquitous. Like that rumor that Agnes Nixon loaded AW's core family onto a plane & crashed it & them, all dead. 

Also apparently Micheal Easton, at a fan event this weekend, was telling fans that GH has been either gathering their data incorrectly or interpreting it wrong. Speaking of online platforms, whether it is stroke tally or not allowing for bots or multiple accounts, etc. and it caused them to show that Peter August was a success & also that Finn is popular, So, now they know something's wrong but aren't sure how to fix it. If anyone else hears an account of this, please confirm. 

And, last but not least, new information about NAC. Instead of being yes he is gone or no he is returning, the latest info - all new & different - is that they don't know. (WHAT?!!) It is up to them but they can't decide. Jesus, Mary & Joseph, they've been trying to decide "their Cassadine problem" for months now. Maybe it's good because now PM will have input. Some want to go ahead & recast & get underway with the new guy. Some want to squeeze as much out of NAC as they can. 

I would like to start over with a recast. Coming back to life Spencer should have a new face.

Hahaha no, she didn't cut out the baby. She gave Ava inducing drugs which made Ava go into labor. Then MS/Nina stole the baby and ran to Canada.

I will forever chuckle when I see people type that Nina cut the baby out of Ava's womb. Good grief.

And can they please let Sonny pour himself a bourbon now that he has thrown some glassware while sober? Nina henpecking Sonny about alcohol (while constantly drinking her giant glass of wine) was the only reason he has been teetotaling with his never-ending glass of water with a lemon wedge floating in it. He drank for years and years before Nina. Now he doesn't even have a glass of champagne at a celebration.

lol even Maura West has gone on twitter confirming that the baby wasn't cut from Ava's womb lol

Well, they are definitely thinking in terms of the next Spencer. Just a matter of when they will make that move.

Totally agree. They need a new Spencer. NAC just wasn't working for me once he got so high and mighty. All his scenes became Emmy reels. The overacting and fast talking was just too much. Trina needs a different Spencer when he comes back. And please don't cast for someone who is over 6' tall.

Of course! We all saw the turtle dove figurine laying in the water. RME

How is NAC acting 'high and mighty' lol. Specifics.

In my opinion, there doesn't need to be any rule that male or female actors should be taller/shorter than the actors who portray their romantic partners; and there doesn't need to be any rule about how much any height difference should be.

I like that actors in pairings sometimes have unconventional differences in height.  It's more relatable to real life.

Nice of them to leave us that clue that this was only temporarily dead!

Totally realistic & the way it should be.

LMAO he's not, this person is reaching, I mean really reaching. NAC is one THE best actor's on GH

Was NAC aware that they were firing the writers? Would he like to work with the new writers, or would the new writing regime discourage him from coming back?

People keep trying to 'subtly' intimate around this online and I have seen zero credible information. Just say 'I just don't like Spencer' (or Spencer and Trina, or their fans or whatever your poison may be) and go.

Yep it's just another way to say they hate that actor/character. NAC is one of the sweetest people and his father even posts on twitter and interacts with the fans, both seem really sweet

He certainly would not be the first or the last incredibly talented & good-looking young person with a vocal, active fan base, to develop an ego & an attitude & to want to jump ship & leave long before their contract date & well before they ever booked a second gig. Some people will see this while others may not. It's an old story.

I imagine it is 99.99% sure that he had no knowledge of anything going on at the show. He would have no reason or rationale to not want to work with new writers.
