Klein had no chemistry with Billy Flynn, so I'm glad she wasn't chosen as Abby. Annalynne already has more in 3 episodes. 

 

The Chad & Stephanie time was essentially wasted time.

Yep. Both Flynn and Klein acknowledged that and the fact that basically no one liked the pairing. Between the lack of chemistry and terrible writing, they were easily one of the biggest misfires in the past couple of years, even the actors were relieved to get out of it.

They killed her off because Miller wanted recurring, and the writer didn't want to do a recurring-regular pairing, so... yeah. And yes, you do stan. Next, we'll get you on the Gina Tognoni stan train.

Well, Gina would have to get one of the million roles you put her up for first 😂

Agreed about Ron have no idea or direction for Stephanie though.  Hennig did have better material.

I just feel like the writer has no clear vision on who Stephanie should be; recasting after being off-canvas for some years (aside from a one-off visit) should have been an easy walk into for the role, but, instead... the writing has been stale and plot-driven to poach other characters.

I’m starting to think that’s because Ron was determined to move Chad on as fast as he could and Stephanie was just the first character to come to mind.

Gotta admit, that excuse is starting to wear a little thin because as we saw with Craig/Nancy, scenes between Zach Tinker and Greg Rikaart, Ericole’s exit, etc., if this guy really, really wants do something, 99% of the time, he can get it done. 

I think AK and BF had some chemistry.  They just had pretty dull writing.

Well, she did have more chemistry with BF than RSW 😂😂

Well, I'm not hired at any soap, and I doubt she'd do it after how she was treated at her last position, so... LOL!

Talk to him; it was a bullshït excuse, but it's the one we were given.

BORING, DULL WRITING! So bad!

Wilson has zero chemistry with himself, and that's who he is obsessed with: himself.

Low bar. Lol.  

Again, l didn't even think chemistry was the main issue there either.  They had worse writing than Chad/Stephanie.

Low bars!!! Many low bars. Possibly could not even count them.

Stephanie has always been a bit of a bore to me.  I think Hennig made the character.  AK does fine with the material, but Stephanie still lacks any direction of any kind.  That is definitely a writing issue.  They can't even figure out a pairing for her.

I don't like Abby that much either, but the character just has more possibilities on the current canvas.  Like everyone else I am not sure why they "killed" her off in the first place.  Mansi really made the role for me though.  Dang, I really am starting to sound like a Kate Mansi stan lol.

It’s okay I’m a Mansi stan from her time as Abby 😂. It’s painful that GH is making me hate Kristina when she’s played by someone I’m such a fan of.

Whereas despite the very annoying surrogacy story Mansi is the first person to make me give a shít about Kristina in years. I'm just glad it's over.

As for Stephanie, I remain a Shayna Rose race car drivin' truther.

I've been enjoying AnnaLynne as "Abby."  The last time I saw her acting was on the 90210 reboot and she wasn't that good, so she's definitely improved over the last 10+ years.  I'm actually intrigued by this storyline.
