Well...

 

Team Lucy. Even if it is putting her in BLQ's hands to get the company out of Tracy's hands, Lucy was doing nothing, but telling the truth. As a reality star once said...this is not American's Next Best Friend. Deception is a BUSINESS. And the person mostly responsible for that has always been Lucy so of course, she will be professionally over her own feelings. And the audience has been aware of how Lucy sees Sasha as a daughter at times so I'm sure it hurt (and LH showed it), BUT...BUSINESS. 

 

Awww at the Laura/Heather scenes this week. I love them tapping into that history...history that I didn't even know they had. That's how you mind history while going forward in another direction.

 

And just when Jason Return storyline was basically C plot for the week, it gets the Friday cliffhanger. And Diane with the phone call and not being surprised when Jason got ahold of her...PRICELESS. And he could tell her everything about what's going on with John and she can't say a thing. So hopefully we are about to get some answers.

 

I still feel it's a thin line between love and hate and Drew is going to wind up bedding Nina in a fit of hate sex. But...we'll see. 

 

I thought it was a good week and it feels like the rhythm has been found. Can't wait until next week. 

I love me some scoundrel Scotty, too. 

 

I agree. It would be nice to have seen Laura trying to pick up the pieces. But alas. It's like Carly over this past year or so since the end of Nixon Falls and her marriage to Sonny. Outside of the Florida remote and her relationship with Drew, it was nice to see her pick up the pieces after losing everything to Nina and growing...not only into herself, but into taking up the name Spencer. I actually found that resonating though mind you I am not a fan of Carly's. 

Exactly!

Not a discussion that we had, except to note that since she said they let her know 6 months ago, that they were likely planning on how they would drop out NAC & so some things seem strange in the way they made use of Esme, Baby Ace, Spencer & Trina, pure fan spec & analysis. 

My personal opinion us that Frank and/or whomever simply did not want to change the character & were willing to lose her instead. Perhaps they had thought amnesia would be effective & when it wasn't they were fresh out of ammo. Why do you think they cut her loose?

I think that the producers really liked Avery Pohl but the writers didn't know what direction to go with Esme. When the production was dark in July they decided to write out the character when the regular writers returned from the strike. I think they told her she was being let go in August when production resumed. She continued working until December, so the long notice reflects an appreciation of her. I don't think the actress pissed off anybody behind the scenes.

No, I don't think she did either. I don't think this is in any way about bad behavior! Nope. I figure their working her longer than they thought reflects the confusion about when NAC would be gone. They thought he was going out before the strike, didn't happen, then the strike. I believe there was fair amount of logistical UGH.

Rick Webber 2002

I wish they never did that crap. Rick only ever cheated with Monica. He was not a serial cheater. That was his brother Jeff.

 

He should be alive.

 

I love Sprina but honestly some of the Sprina fans on Twitter

Supposedly NAC unfriended Taby there  and some are like is he whitewashing GH

 

Nope, his twitter still has his GH tweets up from when he began on twitter

 

Some like to be petty and have conspiracy Theories  UGHHH

It went around ages ago that he scrubbed GH from everything. Also that he made his farewells to everyone at the studio. And whether these are just things going around or there is some kernel of truth driving the paranoia, etc. it's really totally irrelevant. It's up to GH. If they want him back when he finishes filming, supposedly in May, to have him for (I think) 45 days till end of June, they will have him back. If they prefer to go ahead & recast, they'll do that. No amount of fan discussion is going to make any difference! 

Some Sprina fans are delightful.

Then there are others. So, I hear you & I feel ya!

I thought that Spencer would start airing again in May. You say that NAC might only start shooting again in May, so Spencer's return would then happen in June. They shoot July and August episodes in June, so 45 days of work would end up with 90 days of episodes. NAC would air from June to August.

They shoot out of order. And, at times WAY out of order. Something that is taped Monday could air 5 weeks later. Something that is taped Monday could air 2 days later. And, everything in between. It is not possible to do the kind of computation that you're thinking of. But, if he tapes for 6 weeks that might yield 6 weeks of air shows. Or it might yield more. It's just according.

And, he might not be brought back at all. 

I believe the latest info on when he will finish the Ryan Murphy project is May but I have no idea when in May.

But it might just mean that someone new is doing PR for him & they told him unilaterally to "erase" the soap from his internet profile. Someone said he is no longer even following his family but just new people & people affiliated with Ryan Murphy. 

I want to share what one Jex shipper posted to illustrate what this past week was like for them.

As a rule I do not FF anything on a soap I watch. IMO inevitably you will miss something & it might be something that is going to change where you might like it better, etc. But also I don't watch any soap for one character, one actor, one couple, I try to be open to the whole show. Now, I don't succeed. I have people on my personal cut lists, of course! Nothing could change my mind about my hatred of Violet, for example. Sexy Dexy & Joss are fairly hohum for me, though. No hatred centered there. It was hard to get myself to do that, not FF, but I just stuck with it. I wonder at times if I'm the only person crazy enough to force myself to watch things that make me go UGH.

I went into a Twitter Spaces earlier being held by some of SprinaNation & just listened for awhile. People were speaking making a whole lot of sense. The topic basically was that NAC was not being racist by scrubbing his social media contacts, specifically including Taby. They pointed out that this is something many actors are asked to do & do for their current projects. Blake Lively completely changing all of her social media contacts for a movie was given as an example. One thing that was said that I've seen & heard a lot there is that when THE GATES is underway if GH is not giving good story to black actors, then they are outta there. I think that is a great example of the marketplace speaking loud & clear.

    • I feel like the lawsuit storyline was resolved quickly because the show didn’t want to spring for more sets.
    • It's been a while, but we have seen the foyer to Bill and Hayley's house as well as the exterior entrance to their house. The foyer was first seen in the premiere episode when Hayley met Vanessa at the house.
    • There's still a year or two before Larkin arrives. Joel is there already. EON does noticeably youthify, although I think they carry it off. Admittedly I haven't seen most of the Jody stories, which from what people here have said aren't great.
    • I don't mind the actor who plays Brian. He's fine. The problem for me is that Paige seems so wishy wishy. She doesn't seem to have much of a personality at this point so I don't see why Brian would be so besotted with her. She just lurches from one trauma to the next. Granted, it's only been a month, but she's not as vibrant as April or even Deborah who has had minimal screen time by this point.  I do worry about the influence of GH on the show since I'm in fall of 1979 and characters have conversations and there's not the drive to "youthify" the show. However, I think Marceau (sp?) is gone. He was given a rather tame sendoff. How long was the actor on the show? I hope this is not a sign of things to come. I worry the show is setting up a murder mystery around one of my favorite characters and I will be mightily annoyed. I also noticed in recent Search for Tomorrow episodes uploaded to YT that the actors playing Logan and Eliot showed up. I don't watch the show but they were in the screencaps. When does Larkin Malloy show up or has he already left? Joel Crothers hasn't shown up either unless I've blinked and missed him.
    • Dr Linden. She treated Vanessa's drug addiction (although Vanessa seemed to forget that by Henry's suicide attempt) , and she's mentioned during Reva's PPD. Although I can't recall if she's actually shown right off the top of my head. She probably was temporarily shelved when Sonni was a therapist (between her crazy times) And I think Billy sees her after he falls off the wagon after Reva's death.
    • Kinda agree. I have some issues with the sets. Nicole's living room is bland-looks like a display home. Bill and Hayley's is too small and basically hideous. And neither of them have a front door/entrance or staircase. People just appear from the corridor. Those green accents  at Uptown are way too much. Also,Naomi and Vanessa not having an office or a home .
    • Thanks @Paul Raven  That Grainger story always reads like hog-wild melodrama, not very similar to the more subtle stories for Rita in her last few years. I wonder how Lenore played the material.
    • More from 1976 Lynn, apparently making every effort to overcome her alcoholism, accepts a baby-sitting job. However, when the baby starts crying, Lynn begins to get nervous and takes one drink, then another. By the time Bruce and Van arrive home, Lynn is on the floor, ineffectually trying to find the doctor’s number, sure the baby is ill. When the mother arrives; she vows to let everyone know what goes on in the mayor’s house.Bruce insists that Lynn has to go, but Van, learning that Lynn can’t remember drinking the cooking sherry, calls Joe to report Lynn’s blackouts. Joe wants her institutionalized but gives in to Van’ s pleas that Lynn needs loving attention. Eddie has sent some of Felicia’s work to a New |York gallery owner and reports to Charles that Lisa Cooper wants to exhibit Felicia’s work. Charles refuses to tell her this and later admits he feels he has “cowed”her attention because of his being confined to a wheelchair. What Charles doesn’t say is: that he’s plagued with fears she’ll leave him for another man. Felicia is exuberant as she starts painting again. She tells Charles how she feels about it, but, jealous of anyone or anything that takes attention from him, Charles tries to undermine her confidence. Eddie finally professes his love for her. He will be happy to step forward if she will only let Be and admit that they belong together. Charles tries to stop Felicia’s ‘trip to New York by making her doubt her own work, and when that fails, he finds business reasons at his bookshop to keep Di, his ex-wife, who is running it for him, from accompanying her. Felicia finally decides it’s not going to work and tells Eddie they might as well call it off. Instead, he arranges for Lisa Cooper to come to Rosehill. Charles is rude and insulting to Lisa when she arrives at the house to view Felicia’s work, and his derogatory remarks about shady gallery dealings prompt Lisa to tell Eddie that living in such an atmosphere could permanently stunt an artist’s development; if Felicia is subjected to this indefinitely, it’s not even worth Lisa’s while to take her on as a client. Felicia finally decides she can’t be torn apart any longer and must accede to Charles’s demands. She tells Eddie her career is over and she won’t paint any more, breaks down in his arms, crying bitterly, then pulls away, unwilling to acknowledge that her feelings for him are deeper than she dare face. Charles is delighted when she prepares to dispose of her art supplies, insisting everything will be fine once she has accepted that this part of her life is over. But she cannot do it. She promises him that he can set the limits and terms, but she must paint. Arlene discovers that her mother is planning to avoid the surgery she needs, and the accompanying medical bills, by leaving Rosehill and moving in with her sister Dorothy out west. Arlene manages to prevent this by calling her aunt and telling her the truth about Carrie’s condition. Dr. Tom Crawford has been footing the costs of Carrie’s presurgery tests, but Arlene knows that Carrie won’t like this. So she tells Carrie that David Hart, the son of Meg’s late husband, the former mayor, has heard about their plight and forwarded the money as a gesture of friendship, to be repaid when possible. To convince Carrie that she does indeed have the money, Arlene asks Ray to just lend it to her for a few hours, so she can convince Carrie and then immediately return it. Ray instructs her to get dressed for a night on the town and takes her, out implying that the money will be waiting at the end of the evening. When Ian Russell happens to join them, Arlene doesn’t suspect anything is afoot, but when e Ray suddenly leaves, she becomes furious, realizing what he’s done. But she finds Mr: Russell a distinguished and cultured man, and decides there’s no harm in having a drink. After cocktails and stimulating conversation, Ian suggests that they go to his place, and Arlene agrees. But when they get there, Ian matter of factly suggests that they skip the preliminaries and get on with it. Ian is embarrassed and annoyed to discover that Arlene is not a professional call girl and that Ray didn’t explain to her the purpose of their |meeting. He is apologetic and solicitous, until Arlene, explaining why Ray felt he could pull this on her, mentions her sick mother in need of an operation. Ian starts to laugh at this overworked standard line, and a livid Arlene storms out of his apartment. Thinking it over, Ian decides he’s more intrigued with Arlene than he is annoyed at Ray, and calls Ray for her telephone number. But Arlene is not delighted to hear from him, and he has to use a good deal of soothing charm before she agrees to have dinner with him at one of the better local restaurants.During dinner Ian again apologizes for his mistake, and he gives Arlene a diamond pendant as a token of his gratitude for her forgiving him. Ray arrives to interrupt an otherwise enjoyable evening with a business matter, and quietly reminds Arlene that Ian is his customer and she’s not to cut herself in with him. At home, Arlene examines the pendant and is convinced that it’s genuine. She hides it in her dresser drawer, unable to bring herself to show it to her mother.
    • LOL!! That's funny.  I actually thought he got a little better.
