She really did have repercussions that lasted. I know part of that according to NLG was Frank punishing her for something (Alexis in jail). When they did the drug story with Alan, he really hit rock bottom. But I don’t remember him having the kind of repercussions that Alexis did on his way back up.

I wonder if Frank just really wanted to have kids in his personal life, and this is how he expresses it. We know he is one of those EP’s that is a workaholic from the casts at both OLTL and GH. At least at OLTL it wasn’t as bad because there were not as many of them being annoying at once.

Alan did hit rock bottom much more than Brenda, for example, who had a pill addiction right around the same time.  He really struggled and declined for a long time.  I do think Alan lost some privileges at the hospital, but I am not sure if it was because his injured hand or the drugs.  I just have a hard time remembering his recovery part of the story.  I am sure there was one, but at the time I thought it was wrapped up quite quickly.  I will say it has been years since I watched that storyline though.

Honestly, you would think the actress that plays Violet would turn Frank off from kids for life lol.

I don't think there is any comparison with a young KMC to Jophielle Love (I actually looked up her name!).  I can see the comparison with BRS as Emma to JL/Violet.  They both could be annoyingly precocious, but BRS had a lot more emotional scenes that she did well enough while Violet is a walking talent show 99% of the time.

BRS's take on Emma has chilled a lot now that she is a teen.  I am actually surprised they haven't brought BRS back now that she's 18.  I know a lot of people on here think Emma should be recast, but I'd give BRS a try first.

As much as I am loathe to think of adding cast before the cast size is seriously adjusted, I would love to have her back. That little taste we got of her told me all I need to know & we don't need a recast!!!

IKR?  For me, it's like whenever I attend church, and I'm forced to listen to some six-year-old named Alexus or Mercedes slaughter some song like "Take Me to the King" or "I Believe I Can Fly."

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.

I think Finn is leaving town. Violet will be raised by Aunt Liz as a member of the Hardy-Webber clan as the Chase family is abolished. Violet, Liz's sons, and Ace will be cousins of each other.

I also think that Jeff Webber will divorce Carloyn and return to Port Charles to be near his grandchildren. It will then be revealed that Jeff is the biological father of Dex Heller.

I truly don't care about seeing Jackie ever again.

Jackie Templeton will never appear on this show again. Neither will Monica or Audrey, even though both are still alive in town.

I have to say... since it has gone from ABC Signature Studios (2013–2019) to Disney Television Studios (2019–present), everything has been so watered down, and I think that has something to do with how drama-lite things have been in terms of story. I have maintained since the Shelly Altman & Jean Passanante days that Disney Television (then-believed to be Disney-ABC Television) has had their hands in the cookie jar, nixing anything potentially juicy to happen in terms of story. Even Altman confirmed this is an exit interview that TPTB nixed so many stories she wanted to tell, and I feel like since then they've really been kiboshing things, which is also why I feel as if Patrick Mulcahey may not have worked beyond five-months; he wasn't willing to do Disney Television's bidding.

 

Thank you, Liberty City!

I'm confused on the studio thing. I thought that was just switching studio space. So, its another division of oversight/management?

I really don't care about Jackie at all. A character who appeared briefly in the early 80s  brought back as member of a family I was never interested in.
BTW I was shocked to read that Gregory was around for four years. GH is wasting so much story and space in all these random people.

Gregory was around too long. He was boring and dying is the only thing that made him interesting.

I've seen some folk who think she was too harsh, even calling her a bi*ch in the way she was to him, but, I agree with you. 

Wait, what scenes with Ava. I thought that was in the previews for today? Am I confused? 

Well, I can't agree with that. Kristina showed more growth & maturity in the last 2 days than the previous 2 years. When she is with Ali (Blaze) she is not only a better person, she is also smarter! But yesterday was all about Sonny's adult children. Dante finally told Sonny off! Michael tried to do a favor for one sister & was perceptive that the other sister is still deeply in love with Dex. Joss did an about face, a total 180, out of concern for Kristina who she supposedly hates!

Joss was only angry toward Kristina because she was blind about Sonny. Now that her eyes are open Joss will not hate Kristina. I hope that Molly gets to prosecute Sonny.

Yes, right, point for that! It would be huge if Krissy & Joss became buds. But, Molly v. Sonny is a clear case of conflict of interest! However, Anna made it clear that she was going to force Molly to prosecute about Cyrus so she will take that stance again, soon, apparently.

I believe that when Tabyana Ali's contract ends she will leave the show. At that point Trina will either be recast or the character will exit and be replaced by an adult Emma Drake. Emma Drake will make a big splash on the canvas.

I also believe that Maxie's daughter Georgie will be SORAS'd into a teen the same age as Jake and Danny

This stuff keeps you up at night, doesn't it?

Jake has been a teen for several years. Danny is now a teen.

Isn't Georgie already a teen too?  I know they changed actress, but the one that was around during the Charlotte story wasn't exactly a child.  She looked at least 13 or 14 to me.

Rena Sofer & Wally Kurth still shine with one another as Lois & Ned, even if its just as exes and parents.

Really loving the ned & Lois scenes. This is damn good. 

Alexis' Accuser is

I hate that anytime Liz gets any airtime it’s in support of f.ucking Finn. Who’s the GH vet that people actually care about here? 

Tracy needs to order an immediate makeover of the Q mansion. That ugly wallpaper that either Olivia or Monica approved is an eyesore and needs to go immediately. 

Okay, I think they might actually be setting up Who Killed Ava now lol.

Which could be a great story! I won't shed a huge amount of tears if Ava goes after over a decade (though I would fake her death, and bring her back for stints at least). But I don't trust Korte or whoever else to write it.
