To a certain degree I think we can let our speculation be led by the opposite of what Dan & Chris were going to do. 

For example, Dan & Chris were bringing Morgan back. 

For another example, Dan & Chris were having Jason go to Liz. 

(Multiple people have talked about these 2 things.)

I'd sooner see Jason knockin' boots with Audrey!

IMO, LW's best chemistry was with Amelia Heinle on LOVING/THE CITY and Kim Zimmer and Cynthia Watros on GL.  No, I'm not kidding.

IMO, there's more drama and conflict to be had with Liz, as a single mom of three boys/young men, finding love with someone who isn't already one of her baby daddies.  Someone who's solid and reliable - possibly, working as a doctor at the hospital - and who isn't played by Michael Easton, lol.

It is not a given in soap fandom that any & every potential pairing will get a fair shot. And, I know, we all know this. I believe the biggest problem is that GH mgmt. thinks FIZ is a success. Apparently in the vein of there being no such thing as bad publicity, they count any mention of Liz, or Fiz or Finn as a sign that the audience is watching & engaged with that character or couple. So, context be damned, when I write #FreeLiz it goes into the plus column for the pairing. So, taken to its logical conclusion that means I should STFU about Liz entirely as long as they persist with Fiz. (Am I losing my mind?)

I am not really even commenting on Liz/Jason vs. Finn/Liz.  I just never thought Jason/Liz really ever got a shot as a real couple.  The romance was started and stopped so many times for other characters like Courtney and Sam.  Sure, they got a kid out of it and I guess that's fine.  I just don't know if they were ever a really together and they have a decent fanbase.  I, again, would try Jason with someone new.

JaSam vs. Liason was never a big thing for me though.  Both couples are okay to me.  I don't like or dislike either pairing.

I understand. I'm not violently for or against Sam or Liz. Although I think Sante is viable so I don't really see the need for disrupting something that is actually working. I will admit that Liz seems to me to be going backwards. 

The only thing I have heard, that I think is going to be true, is that we're going to see more of Jason as a father & I think that is a very cool idea! I find I am much more invested in seeing Steve portray more of Jason's humanity rather than the typical romance posture. 

I think if it were me in the hot seat, seeing the fanbase wars that I might throw up my hands in frustration. 

Yes, maybe that! I thought Britt worked very well & she was totally new. Who could be another Britt?

I'm pretty close to that feeling, too. 

So, on this point we disagree. Big whoop. We both will live. Frank & Varni both love ME. I believe their POV about him is way beyond anything Frank ever felt about Wes. Peter was a creation of Dan & Chris & they aren't particularly known for their intelligence, plus they dragged out how many stories?! Peter, Willow dying, that damned hook. This ridiculous Marshall current story is all theirs & thank god it's gonna be over soon because it is utterly absurd.

    • A new day in Salem… and a new day for Days.  I like the way everybody found out and absorbed the news about John’s death, and how they all eventually found their way to Marlena’s to offer their condolences. I’m not particularly sure why they waited until the next day to tell everybody but I don’t really mind it.  We finally got Roman’s perspective! His scenes with Kayla were one of the best parts of today. I’m glad that Roman is thankful for everything that John did for his kids. I agree with posters who said that he should’ve had a scene like this with John, but I’m happy we got this at least.  Julie was used very well today too. She’s definitely the best person for Marlena to have scenes with at the moment. Hopefully, Julie continues to be there for her. And yes, I totally agree with Marlena and Belle sending EJ away when he came to the apartment. I’m curious to see what’s going to happen to his and Belle’s relationship in the aftermath of all this. And, while I enjoyed most of Brady and Kristen’s scenes, I still think the ship has sailed for them. Hopefully, the aftermath of John’s death causes Brady to finally end this thing with her once and for all.  And, I see a lot of people were wearing some kind of shade of purple today.

    • Wow, I love that current and former actors are participating in this. I barely recognize Staci Greason! She looks fine, just very different. But I will be happy to hear anecdotes from her. I shipped RoJohn and Isabella hard back in the day, and I sobbed buckets in my dorm room at college when Izzy B passed. Honestly, I'm interested in everyone's stories. Drake seemed like he was well loved among the cast.
    • When she first appeared, I was sure she was setting Tyrell up for a prank. She was too much of a manic pixie dream girl- I wasn't surprised Tyrell also became suspicious. Now I'm not so sure. If Jessica genuinely likes Tyrell, it seems like a missed opportunity to not have started her out as a bully, then we see her gradually catch feelings for Tyrell.  The McBrides are definitely the "C" family of BTG. They always get last priority. There have been a few times where the Doug/Vanessa/Joey characters reference off screen conversations which seem too important to not show us. Like when Doug thanked Joey for giving him extra time to pay off the loan. When did that happen? Or when we abruptly moved from Vanessa/Joey at Uptown to Vanessa/Doug in the hotel room. The McBrides don't even have their own set - even though Vanessa is a realtor. It's a shame because I am a fan of the characters and actors.

      I am also adjusting to KR as Ted but I feel that AM and MJ had way more chemistry as father and daughter than AM and KR. We saw Eva dream of having a real relationship with MJ's version of Ted for months so it's a bit of a bummer not to have that payoff with the original actor except for those scenes in MJ's last episode.  Something I noticed about Eva today is how she takes genuine delight in being a schemer. As badly as she wants to be a Richardson, she still has so much of her mom in her. It was jarring seeing her earnestly promise to steer clear of Leslie in her scene with Ted, then immediately switch attitudes when her mom showed up.  I'm very surprised with how quickly the accident story has been moving along. I was sure that it would be months if not years before people figured out it was Leslie on the motorcycle, not to mention responsible for the potassium overdose. I'm looking forward to seeing how MVJ and Guza avoid writing Leslie into a corner.  Finally, I have been loving the Articulettes story. Bonita Brisker was just the right amount of OTT - remember Sharon is supposed to be even more angry than Tracy is. If Sharon didn't come in swinging, people would say she fell flat. The way Sharon and Tracy describe the breakup is so Supremes-meet-Original Recipe Destiny's Child. I get the sense that MVJ is re-writing the Return to Love Tour as a roman a clef, and I love it. I'm looking forward to finding out what the secret they share is. If Dante Green is as shady as Berry Gordy was, it's something dark. If/when they go through with the reunion, I expect Dante to show up and claim to own the Articulettes trademark in a Lou Pearlman-esque twist. 
    • Other than hanging out with Liz, all of Lucky's stories have been stalled out or dropped; the relationship with his son; his wanderlust. He hasn't been involved in any of the action/adventure or con artist stuff. I don't think he's even had a scene with Sidwell since the latter came to town. He's a real after thought. I doubt he's long for the show.

    • I started a separate thread for the same tribute, but of course it can be discussed wherever. doesn't matter where. Fyi  Jason Cook, Staci Greason, and Eileen Davidson will be there as well as Reckell and some of the current cast Thread for Live tribute to Drake https://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/68987-days-currentformer-actors-live-video-tribute-for-drake-hogestyn
    • Seeing Nicole and Martin together reminds me of watching Alice with Mickey Horton in the 90s and 00s. The seem more like peers than mother and son.  The younger half of the cast (35ish and below) is playing younger, and the older half (35+) is playing older.
