They may be spinning off the Beth character and one other but none of the actors have signed on yet.

Also I have actor friends on successful streaming shows that run 8 episodes a year and they still have issues keeping their SAG AFTRA insurance. 

Really you have her financials

John, we are just saying it doesn't necessarily make career sense for an actress (and yes, BetterForgotten is right about the Landons) who has built a very respectable career in recent years moving beyond daytime. It doesn't make us 'bad soap fans' for acknowledging the obvious.

John, I want Jen Landon on the show. That doesn't mean I think it makes sense for her career to do it. Maybe she wants to settle down with whatever family she has and have some security, fine. But you constantly go off on these crusading tangents about something the show does to defend it or push a performer you like that others don't, or some idea you get excited about on Twitter, you make up ideas like 'maybe she's out of money' and you don't actually listen to anyone. We don't have to agree with you to be fans of the show. Take a breath.

Fine I just think its naieve to think because someone currently airs on a streaming show or was given money from an inheritence that they are financially set and have no struggles like any other actor.

No, naive was believing the show when they said William Lipton and Sydney Mikayla were staying after booking other opportunities/committing to school because GH said so and you wanted the actors to stay. Whenever people pointed out career realities and past precedent you got very mad that anyone would suggest it wasn't going to last.

Nobody is saying Landon doesn't want to work or even necessarily that she doesn't need to. But she is not a starving artist.

Landon is a fantastic actress, and would be a great "get" for the role. If you've watched her in Animal Kingdom or Yellowstone, you can see, like these producers do, how much more she's putting into her characters. I have no doubt that if Yellowstone were to continue without her, that she would quickly land another part. All the speculating either way doesn't matter. We're not casting LuLu, #firefrank will have the final say. And Gawd help us if it's Bree Williamson, Jennifer Morris or (yeeesh) Kerry Butler.

    • I know Passions used this trope with Ethan and Sam to drag out the paternity, but GH seems to speed through certain stories while dragging others.
    • For any other soap, I think I’d agree, but GH, I don’t know

    • Agreed, that there was some strange choices in the episode, especially at the end, but overall, that was some great drama that opens up the potential for so much future storyline. Kat vs. Eva having the most potential, especially over Tomas. I have mixed feelings about Martin/BC though. I thought he did pretty well in scenes with Smitty/MM, but the scenes of him confronting Leslie and of him throwing the books were bad lol she acted circles around him.  It’s similar to what Harding Lemay said about George Reinholt at AW; he could be brilliant in one scene, but then mediocre in the next. 
    • I know some of y'all really like Brooke Kerr, and so I've tried to give her a shot, despite her frequent flat line readings and distracted "did I leave the front door unlocked?" facial expressions. But lord, she is so bad at playing a tough-talking badass that I was actually rooting for Brad today to spill the beans to Drew. 
    • Googling does tend to ruin it.  For those of us who were teens in the late 1970s and early 1980s, you can't imagine how much fun it was to watch the show in the afternoons.  (It came on right after school.)  There weren't any "spoilers" at the time.  We would always try to anticipate how each crime and each mystery would be resolved, and we were ALWAYS wrong, because the stories are filled with so many weird twists and turns.   The head writer (Henry Slesar) and his dialogue writer (Steve Lehrman) invariably toss genuine clues directly into your face in the most unlikely ways, but then they provide a host of "red herrings" to completely confuse you and send you off on the wrong path.  Once the story reaches its conclusion, all you can think is Why didn't I figure that out weeks ago?  lol
    • Does the vault have the original scene and not the short flashback?
    • I appreciate that you are using AI with the knowledge of it's limitations. Some posters take everything it produces as fact.
    • And of course Mama Ru herself appeared on All My Children.
    • The Saturday 8pm slot usually had the lowest rating of the NBC 4 sitcom lineup for some reason. NBC let Saturday night fizzle, They used 9.30 pm to launch 227 and Amen, both of which moved to earlier in the evening but they  kept Empty Nest following GG for several seasons.  Empty Nest should have moved to 8pm with their strongest new sitcom at 9.30, anticipating that GG would eventually falter. Instead they left them there and stretching the sitcom pool too thinly on other nights. When Grand talk over at 9.30 Thurs maybe Night Court and Wings could have been used on Saturday.
