I will not be shocked if Preacher Man Cyrus returns posthaste, since Frank seems enamored of Jeff Kober.

Why would you put that out in the universe? Why?!

They do remember that we show Kristina's fall, right? It was not even shown in a did she/didn't she way. 

Does not matter; Ava is the town's punching bag and so long as she's on the canvas, she will continue to be the punching bag. Because that's how Carly Korte wants it.

Some more edited captures showing how dynamic the soap could look in post-production.

Sooo much better. WOW.

Maybe they can put ELR in a wig and have her play Blaze too?

At least Blaze would finally be interesting.😂

They should have cast a character actress as Natalia. They keep hiring name actor/actresses whom they don't want to lose and they eventually become a problem.

This is hitting the nail on the head here.

The problem is Natalia stuck around instead of coming and going. Come in, cause some disruption and then go out. She came in, stuck around and the lasting effects were not... big enough. Had she come in, seen Allison & Kristina, put the thoughts in Allison's head, and then this breakup happened...? That would have been some greater pull, in terms of character story, than having to endure what we've endured.

This has been Frank's issue since the Ron days with Stafford, Budig, etc. It's only gotten worse since.

Yes.  Without Blaze there is also no reason for her to be in town.   Why would she stick around when her daughter isn't there?  Flirting with Sonny is not a reason lol.  

I haven't read spoilers in a minute, but I actually don't think this is the last we see of Blaze.

It is for Carly Korte and Chris Valentini Etten.

It’s the backpedal to keep her that just makes me angry as a viewer. Let’s keep the bigoted character who hasn’t really had any lessons learned or any lasting jeopardy in her relationship with Blaze, and dump the pesky lesbian. It’s gross.

Yup.  It's always been about the name before the character.  It's baffling he doesn't learn from his own mistakes.

Well, it would have to be Natalia's fault or issue for it to be a problem to the GH team.  It's obviously Ava's fault Natalia is awful lol.

Blaze was my favorite couple on the show. I hope that Blaze returns eventually.

Nice goodbye message. Her being surprised and how quickly this exit happened with the new regime takeover certainly gives me some thoughts lol. Frank really sticks to his old playbook.

I am kind of shocked that he has been allowed to make such publicly bad decisions for almost 20 years when it comes to LGBTQ representation.

We can’t have anything modern (and even that is laughable, diversity onscreen is hardly modern).

We have plenty of room on the canvas for more Violet and those kids, and another player in the over 50 age range, but not really the in between? Make it make sense to me please. And I am not calling out for a return of only 20-something’s onscreen. But this is equally unbalanced.

GH and Days are very guilty of this.  There isn't a dynamic second generation.  There is Sonny, Carly, Jason, et all.  And Michael to lead when that group retires?  That sounds awful.  Mansi could probably lead the next generation, but I am mostly at a loss about everyone else.  Willow? Brook Lynn?  Chase?  😂
