He and Jonathan Jackson could've run the show for years like Luke and Scorpio BITD. They were the natural heirs. I've been saying this for too long. It was such a waste. And the instant Guza's team was gone, Dante became another stock clueless 'good' male lead like most of Ron and Frank's work on OLTL. He's been wasted ever since. Dominic should still be leading, not a B or C player as he is now. The writing for him in his early years was so rich and layered.

It's so strange DZ left and GH made a huge deal about Dante coming back and didn't do anything with him really.

DZ is so charming and charismatic.  And while I do think he's a bit wasted on Sam she is a lead too.  They are treated like this D level pairing.  Honestly, they should have dumped the Brook Lynn/Chase wedding and had a Dante/Sam wedding.  The drama would have been so much better with Sonny, Jason, Carly etc and then Violet would not have been needed to sing lol.

*although I did think the Violet actress did a decent job today.  I am not a child hating, heartless monster all the time lol.

Well, they were leads. But for several years now they've been supporting. It absolutely is a C-D pairing at best. PM and co. did their best to elevate the couple in March during the shooting story and they did, but it has always been an afterthought for two characters the show no longer cares about but does not want to get rid of. Their fans are loud on social media but all fans of mediocre or minor couples are these days.

If it was me, Sam would leave (or die) and Dante would remain. Not that complicated.

I will catch up this week lol. I am in process. The GH exit interview where he talked lovingly about the actress being as bossy and precocious offscreen as on honestly sounded like a nightmare to me. But I'm sure she's a very charming child. In doses.

You know I am not a Sam fan and wouldn't care if KMe just stopped appearing one day lol.   I can at least admit both DZ/KMe could handle more material and I do think after the shooting I buy the pairing a bit more.  I honestly don't care one way or the other, but I do think them getting married would have been more drama filled than Grandma Brook.  Re-casting Lulu would be ideal though.

Oh, Violet is a nightmare.  I just thought she conveyed the emotion today pretty well.  Again, if she was shipped off to Hayden tomorrow I'd be fine.

If ME actually is let go (which I now have serious doubts about with PM already gone) I fear Violet would just be adopted by "Aunt Liz" as an honorary Webber (I mean, technically she is one but come on). At which point I'm slitting my wrists.

That's a real fear.  They probably will park Violet with Liz.  But is there an actual reason Hayden doesn't want her own child?  I think it had something to do with Nik but he's in jail so she's free and clear to come grab her child.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_Tylenol_murders

The Hollyoaks story, as one of a million ways they are trying to dump most of their cast, had a number of stressed characters buying pills from the dealers of longtime local thug Warren. He did not know the pills were tainted (if there are more details someone else can fill them in). Two of the people who took them died - one in her father's arms at his wedding. (probably one of the only effective scenes I've seen on there in a while)

A bunch of tainted Tylenol pills sold in stores in Chicago.  40 plus years ago.  They never found out who did it.  

I am not sure how widely know it was or if it was a huge story.  I think it was? I just knew because I was born in Chicago and lived there the first 10 years of my life.

    • John Black actually was the ultimate good guy soap hero. So I don’t mind the town gushing over him. It’s deserved.
    • Be glad it wasn't a Perry production.

    • I love my girl, but nope he's pathetic. 250K and now he's put her business at risk.   L O S E R

    • The whole town gushing over John Black as if he was a saint is eye rolling.  I guess death really colors people's memories over his many flaws, but I guess that is normal and human nature. I'm still confused as to why Leo hasn't been written out.  The actor stank up two soaps with his sub par acting, what does he have on TPTB's to remain on these soaps.   What's the point of Cat?  I hope the new head-writers figure out her purpose and develop her character. And I much prefer scenes not focusing on John's death because life does go on for the world when someone passes.  
    • Wasn't there a break in Zaslow's first run? I thought Roger was off-screen for a while, and when Zas came back, Roger was hiding at the boarding house and Nola figured out there was something hinkey about him. I'm pretty sure Simon chose to leave the first time and was replaced by RVV. I don't want to assume Jordan's issues played a role in his first departure, but Maeve said in an interview that at some point, it became very hard for her to work with him and she asked to work with him less. That seems to fit 1986, where suddenly Vanessa is essentially Ross' law clerk and not at every Lewis family moment.
    • He needs to divorce her arse with her constant cheating.   She's no better than Doug... she's F*cking pathetic.
    • I didn't know of any interruptions for Maeve Kinkead after her 1997 return. Her runs would then be 1981-1987, 1989-1996, 1997-2000, short arcs until the end. I knew Maureen Garrett second run was interrupted from a 2009 interview but I couldn't recall the exact year. Her runs would then be 1976-1980, 1988-2000, short arcs until the end.
    • As I said in May, I have no problem with Martin and Bradley being married. You can still do all the fun introloper storylines with them as you do everyone else. Both men of a certain age, and it is very believable for them to have either a first love or have been previously married. And, you can do it without either of them cheating!

       I said something similar during the premiere week. Bill was the perfect age to play Martin as Vernon and Anita's child. I would've much preferred this version, but oh well.
    • I don't know how you want to count Maeve. She "retired" in '00, but would come back for appearances. I don't know however if she made an appearance in '01 or '03. In '02 I believe she came back for Josh and Reva's wedding. I assume she came back when Gina Tognoni took over the role of Dinah. And I know she was back for Ross' memorial service. Maureen Garrett was around until at least '00. I don't think Holly was in town when Ben returned though. I just got pissed off about Jerry all over again.
    • So, pretty sure Zaslow, Garrett, Kinkead, and Newman all chose to leave the first time. (If that's wrong, please correct me). Bernau - not sure why he left the first time. Was it voluntary? Or did they decide to write him out? They were writing so many out during that time period. It always seemed odd to me that they introduced Alex, FINALLY giving him someone he could talk to, and then he was written out. Or maybe that's why they made Alex his sister, so she could take his place as the head of the Spaulding family? Would love more intel on that if anyone knows. Simon - was he replaced by RVV? Or did he voluntarily leave the first time? It seems to me like one of those times TPTB decided to sex up or glamorize a character (and it clearly flopped). If he was fired, interesting he came back. Again, would love if someone could spill the tea. Clarke - I've always assumed he left because of his personal issues, but not sure if that was the case the first time.
