It's funny because in the 90s and early 2000s soaps were lambasted for unceremoniously getting rid of vets and filling the casts with hair models and now they're drowning in characters with 40+ years of history.

Y&R is nothing but veteran characters with decades of exhausted story written as if it's still 1995. And they put no effort into any newer character. I think the last "new" character they genuinely invested in still on the canvas is Adam and he joined the show as an adult over a decade ago.

GH can get rid of Finn, his brother, his father, his child. The entire family GONE. Bye. Along with Cody, Sasha, Dex (that or recast, a mob hitman should not be perpetually on the verge of sobbing), Curtis, Jordan, Uncle Remus (sorry to that man), Molly, TJ.

Have I eliminated most of the black cast? Yes. Why? They suck. Portia and Trina have all the potential, build out of them.

And finally Valentin. I'd bookend James Patrick Stuart's soap career and do a big "Who Killed Valentin?" story. Use one of the characters we're getting rid of as the culprit.

GH: Maxie! Willow. Curtis, Portia, Uncle Remus , 
Y&R: I know people will hate me for it but Devon. Bruh. He’s the most boring character and yet they throw so much work to him while others suffer. 
Elena… God she has been nothing but boring on GH and keeps on being boring on Y&R 

Victor! I’m  not even sorry to say that but I can’t take his tough guy attitude anymore. Yes he is doing his „workout“ but any one could take him on lol

Christine and Danny. Just give them their happy ending and sent them packing ffs.

B&B: tough decision coz I don’t know. Liam would be too easy to name drop but I like Scott since my childhood on GH. He can stay for nostalgia reasons lol But Stefy could be ended for a while… 

Brooke. As much as I love people staying a whole lifetime on a show but damn. She had the same 5 scripts for 35+ years. 

Days: that show wasted material for 3 years with Charlie‘s death and wasted Tripp, Allie, Steve, Kayla after it. With Charlie as a villain with mommy issues we could’ve had a great soap again. 

Rafe! I know, I know.. Everyone loves that dude since passions. But come on. He had nothing memorable on Days going on. It wouldn’t even make a difference if his character was gone by tomorrow. 
Theresa! Leo

I totally forgot about her and didn't realize she wasn't even still part of the cast! I think they had an opportunity to have her turn to the dark side after what happened with Nate, but as always lately, this show avoids drama as if it's a mandate.

    • The Producers Guild of America (PGA), while not a union, does have rules and regulations regarding membership, conduct, and yes, credits. Assuming she’s a member of course. Being uncredited for what work exactly? Given her years of experience and multiple Emmy wins - why now decide you want to go uncredited for work you’ve done? 
    • That's very sad. What party he represented for and which area he represented? 
    • -- Daisy is a terrible name. If you're not going with a family legacy name, you gotta do better than that. -- When Frank is done with a character, he makes sure that character is painted in the worst possible way and the shade is thrown in the script. Natalia is being treated like a punchline to a bad joke....not that I mind. -- So Cody talked about Britt today. Gee, I wonder what's going on.
    • I remember another Phyllis residence -- I don't think that was a set shown abovethread, but I'm not sure.  Trying to remember some things off the top of my head but I might be wrong about part of it: I'm referring to the condo where Phick first had sex after the Michael/Lauren wedding.  I think they specifically referred to it as a condo?  After Stafford's Phyllis went into a coma, Jack sold it and I think he gave money to HunterKing's Summer when she married Austin? Or he gave Summer the condo?    There was a convoluted side plot about someone needing money and something from this was drawn in a shady way.  Something about it being sold?  And then when GinaT's Phyllis awoke from her coma, she had no condo to come back to.
    • Which union rules? SMH. Jill’s back, uncredited. 
    • Yeah I don’t get why she wouldn’t be credited if she’s back. That seems odd. I hope it’s true though, because the show needs a change. Badddddd.
    • The casino scenes came out of nowhere in comparison to the rest of the week, but at least there was some movement in the storyline. Joey has really made a fool of Vanessa. Chelsea is really embarrassing herself with this doctor. The desperation is so obvious and she clearly gets that from Dani. Hayley was giving Donna Logan vibes because that is how Donna acted when Eric had a heart attack. Stealing potential evidence is not going to reflect well on Kat and might throw the case against Leslie. Tomas had no business in Eva's hotel room even if he did shut down her advances. But I think they still might end up together at some point because the book that Eva gave him is the same one Kat called basic which seemed like foreshadowing.
    • So Sharon decides not to go to France and stay behind to support Mariah, but now with Phyllis gloating about getting an invite I’m sure she’ll change her mind.    Mariah’s secret is that she screwed that old man? I’m so confused about what’s going on here, and Mariah coming out and telling Tessa that she can’t know her secret is supposed to do what exactly? Is that supposed to put Tessa’s mind at ease? Lol…. I’m getting Cameron Kirsten vibes though. Did he do something to her without her consent and things went too far? These writers really can’t come up with something original if their life depended on it 
    • Eve and Thomas have so much in common--they both like reading (print and audio books) and wow they both like reading *fiction*!  (Also I would never pick up a book called Mercy and Goodness yawn
