Well, you pull out the two extremes, but, yes, agree. Too many prisons were populated by non-violent victims of the "war on drugs"! 

I did pull out extremes. Respectfully, so did you when you mentioned the "criminally insane" and "ordinary hardened criminals."

The bottom line is that none of this works for me if it's just an excuse to get Heather released from prison.

Okay, I see that as just listing two different types of criminals, not particularly extreme. Like Original Recipe & Extra Crispy! 😉

And, I don't think that's where we're going. I've thought that this whole time but now the show seems to be indicating it.

So you think they're doing all this just to leave Heather in prison?

Yep. I think they explored the issues & different people expressed slightly varying points of view & now they've concluded to go with Heather's impulse - and wishes - and that happens to be not taking a risk of danger to the common good.

I have more than a few problems with those rankings, but putting Sonny & Carly as the #1 couple is LAUGHABLE.

I have to believe that's an intentional choice just to get people fired up.

@NiqueAlexis2020 Thank you for the 2017 clip. That's very touching. Good dialogue too. I'm glad any attempts to downplay their bond were short-lived. 

Thanks to you and @Vee for explaining more about Maxie's children. It seems like GH under Frank has dragged out so many stories just to drag them out or kept so many actors on just to keep them on. Yet the ratings only started to fall after the show made some tentative attempts at something different this year. I don't get it.

I remember liking Wes Ramsey on GL, even if he was a little overhyped by some fans, but everything about Peter seems terrible. And I'm sorry to learn they turned Alex Devane into a complete psycho (and I guess she could still return at any time even if she's "dead"). 

Maxie does seem a bit more vibrant lately compared to a while back. I watched some clip of her from a few years ago where she was saddled with the last failed Roger Howarth character 

Your welcome it's one of my favorite Maxie and Mac scenes it was very on point. I wish I knew who wrote those scenes. 

I'm really happy that KS is in a better place mentally and physically cause it's really coming through onscreen. Patrick was the best thing to happen to Maxie writing wise in a long time. It had been like constant doom and gloom since she lost Nathan especially with that bootleg Julilard [!@#$%^&*] & her being in debt which wasn't remotely believable especially with all the family she has around, Nate's pension.

I am surprised that Jake is leaving. Which writer made the decision to drop Jake?

Assuming facts not in evidence. 

Reasons why an actor might be leaving: got another gig, is going back to school, asked for a raise, Frank or Varni decided, a writer decided, .... 

 

Very sad. Similar to Dr. Ruth, who also passed today, he's one of those people who was everywhere, just such a common part of life, back when we had an interconnected culture or society.

I'm glad he went back to GH again in the early '10s, which felt like a nice way to cap off his career - visiting the show that helped make him a star.

This is where I stand on Heather. Alley Mills impressed me during her original stint- she reminded me more of the version Mary O’Brien played. Kind of a needy and manipulative basket case compared to Robin’s more calculating and dangerous version (I am talking original stint). Her last few visits RM played Heather as more of a cartoon IMO (which was the writing).

I didn’t like the Esme retcon, or her being The Hook. If this was RM, who has actual history with all these players (they could even use flashbacks!), I would care more. The effort would be more worth it, because we could get back to the dark manipulator and Robin can be down right chilling when it’s called for. Using the murder hip to bring back that Heather I could at least enjoy.

I don’t care at all about this story as presented now. Because it’s going to lead to more goofy than chilling Heather. The last thing Trina, Alexis, and Laura need is this mess.

Sad news. He had just gotten active on social media again and was telling lovely stories about his time on GH and his plans to make a film about his life.

And while not as progressive as today, he wanted people to be healthy, but he understood and shared the emotional issues many people suffer with involving their weight.

Oh, look, it's not just the "Yes, they're 21" crowd that drinks beer in Port Charles!

Seriously, did Frank get a discount on these fakeass beer bottles?

At least those two actually did drink beers together at Jake’s when they met. Trying to recapture their youth?

Seems like so many folks associated with GH history are passing away.
