Neither of them should exist!

Well, I do agree with that but both those kids are just so adorable.  I find them aesthetically pleasing and that's more than I can say for half the cast.

I didn't think the other Aidan was that bad; he worked well with Becky Herbst. Recasting him isn't wrong, per se, but feels like more of papering over the cracks that is the best you will probably get while Frank is still there. Top to bottom the show has bad actors and most of them aren't going anywhere.

You think GH has many bad actors? Who? 

I feel like the show has an overly large ensemble cast with very strong players, average journeyman actors & some people who are not good, maybe a bell curve. 

Today it seemed odd to me to have both a new Georgie & a new Aiden. There were too many kids, period. Doing some Tracy discovery was interesting to me & I liked it. I thought the way they went about giving Rena more to do was very cleverly done.

I don't think there is any getting rid of Frank in the current situation for daytime, or at least I'd be shocked if there was. It would take an Alarr-level scandal to get him out IMO. So I choose to focus on what can be changed. Watching it daily I think the show has been much improved, but there are still a ton of issues (starting with shows like today) and it remains to be seen whose control or vision will prevail. It is too soon to know about that or about the cast.

I definitely don't want him to go via a crippling scandal that would destroy the show, as that continues to cast a shadow over DAYS. And I know there are worse producers to have - like the one before him. I genuinely don't believe the core of GH can improve with him because he is soulless (as a producer, not as a human being), but I do appreciate wanting more and being pleased with more as GH is probably the most viable of the four current soaps.

I believe Georgie was a Temp. Not sure about Aidan

Of everyone on this show, Sasha should have gotten the Marland Barbara Ryan treatment. Too long a victim, pissed at how things shook out at Deception, ends up at Drew/Michael’s company and is the first person to find out about the Nina/Drew anger sex. Lures Michael into her bed again by playing up her sadness and his savior complex, and sets the stage for Willow/Drew affair. She can also be sleeping with Cody. What we needed was a character to mix things up in several stories. We need a schemer desperately!

I like the idea so much.  Unfortunately, I don't think SM could play that.  Maybe a recast Sasha could.  

New Aiden looks like old Aiden. I had to do a double take. I knew he looked exactly like him but something was off. It's his acting. It's worse than previous Aiden. 

Today's show....yikes!

I might classify her as Cecile more than Barbara Ryan, but the main problem is that none of these characters she would be affecting are very interesting or worth rooting for.

I thought she had at least a spark of bitch when she first came on. She would just need to tap into that.

Oh they are all boring. But at least give them something soapy to do to pass the time if we have to be stuck with the likes of Michael forever.

Sasha is a blank canvas. They could do anything with her.

She's Swedish like someone said.  The only reason I know is she made a whole post about becoming a citizen.  I am just assuming English is her second language lol  For all i know she was just born in Sweden and has spoke English her entire life.

If this was Guza era GH Natalia would have not only slept with Sonny at this point, but would also already be pregnant with his child lol.

Dang!  Both Aiden and Georgie were recast?  Lol.  I agree with whoever said keep James.  Love him and Donna.  Those are the only two children that need to stay.

I love James!!!! Donna is almost as good as James, to me, which is saying quite a lot! Also, I love Leo.
