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 good, so I don't have to wait too long haha. I'm glad she cares about seeing Bill graduate. I'm guessing I'm in for a bumpy ride between Bill and Matt, if he's going to be his caretaker? Who else could it be, maybe Josh?

      Maeve makes a few sporadic appearances, but returns full-time the next spring/summer. She's back in time to see Bill and Michelle graduate, although she skulks around town and wasn't going to tell anyone she was alive. She comes back wearing this HUGE hat---which was a throwback to the old Vanesaa. lol.

      Aww, yeah it's very heartbreaking and I mostly enjoyed the Nola/Vanessa scenes because they finally let their walls down and came together in a beautiful moment. So Nola was at the hospital already and bumped into Vanessa, who had MRI papers that fell out of her hand and Nola went down to pick them up and asked her what was going on. Later, Vanessa confided in her about her disease. Then, Nola told Zachary on the beach (he prodded her and already alluded to knowing something was going on with Van), and then Vanessa found out she told him and got a little upset. Now, however, Nola is strangely absent while everyone is mourning her death. I'm curious if Nola will actually tell people about her MRI results. I would assume so. Only Nola, Rick, Roger and Zachary know anything, although there is the MRI results letter from the mail that everyone has missed seeing at home. I'm sure it'll all come out at some point. But... I just saw the next episode and the opening already cut Vanessa out and added Dahlia and Zachary. I guess Maeve is gone for a long time

       That will break my heart seeing the town continue to mourn her and assume she's dead. I can't wait to see her return though, and I have to imagine feelings will be torn between loving that she's alive and being very angry she did all of this. While I hate what Vanessa is doing, I'm happy to hear it's not totally against her character. I think you're right, had Henry still been around, she wouldn't put him through this. I'm still surprised she is with Bill, though. I get her feelings on Matt, because she wants him to move on, but still very heartbreaking. I'm glad this was Maeve's choice to have a break vs. being fired.    Interesting, so I'm curious to see who they eventually pair Phillip with. They're flirting with a Phillip/Annie pairing, but I'm not sure if they'll go that route with the Jeva drama, her growing pill addiction, and Rick's past with her.  Ugh, yeah I'm so sad to see Bridget do a total 180 in the last couple weeks. She has always been a strong character from what I've seen, but now she's just bending over backwards to get Hart to love her and it reeks of desperation. Yeah, sure, this new Hart is eye candy, but I'm already tired of seeing Hart/Dinah have sex all over Springfield and the Cayman Islands haha.

      Yes.  I remember them together during the early summer of 1986.  They didn't share scenes again for 30 years until 2017 because Carrie wasn't on the show when Anna returned during Sydney's kidnapping.

      I can see Kim being that way. Well, Kyle didn't have to say yes. LOL. The suicide attempt feels plot-driven. I don't know if even Long could've made it work. She'd spent so much time trying to make Reva and Kyle into a couple, it feels odd to just have them give up. Not to mention how odd it is to have Maeve agree to marry him. Re Charita---surely they could've at least tried  finding clips with who was still there. Maybe they wouldn't have been "big" moments, but surely she'd interacted with Ross, Vanessa, and Henry. Vanessa had dated Ed, FCOL. But Mo and Rick were there---surely they could've bothered to find some clips of her with them (and they did interact a fair amount) and used them. And with Ed they could've found some shot of her talking to him and just not cut to whoever was playing Ed in the clip. That to me is what feels lazy---they had more than a year to figure it out, and they went with a bunch of photos. If you were sort of centering it on Rick anyway---then find clips with them and use 'em.

      I definitely think it's time to write off Nina for good. I think her killing Drew might actually be a good idea. She could completely lose it after losing both Sasha and Willow and she ends up murdering Drew and eventually she gets caught and sent away to prison for a long time.

      Quick question - did Christie and Leann share any scenes together in the '80s before Leann left the show?
