I made peace with the whole Brenda replacement situation years ago.  

I did like her as a vixen/villainess during that Summer of Sleaze era.

Even though I have always irrationally hated Sam and won't pretend otherwise.  She wouldn't be first on my list to go.  Not even top 10 lol.

Sam has been on borrowed time for years. Her death will be zero loss, aside from Danny and Scout. On paper you'd think she seemed important, but the way she drained the life out of her scenes (Hence the nickname Saminex) just rendered her easily expendable. Besides, someone's salary has to pave the way for a Vanessa Marcil return ---  right @carolineg?

Vaganos has no business getting a contract. She's needed to be replaced as well. Hiring Mansi for Kristina rebooted a character that had been hum-drum for years. They should have just put Molly off screen for a few weeks and recast her with a stronger actress instead of the merry-go-round of duds we received.

Personally I thought Ellen Wheeler should have fired KZ when everyone else agreed to an out of cycle pay cut except Zimmer. I believe a more experienced EP would have done so. 

But I've never heard of anyone trying to connect JvD being bumped down to recurring to Zimmer's position. There is no there, there. There's not even a tenuous connection much less causality. A certain number of people were going to have to be moved from contract to recurring. Wheeler made a huge error when she made those choices. That's on her. How in heck was anything on Zimmer? Does not compute.

Agreed. But IMO Molly and T.J. have no longterm use at this point period, and Molly needs a long rest off-canvas.

Like I said the other day, soap twitter has its uses but it is not IRL. Everyone has fans on there, everyone thinks they're huge based on some handful of scenes. They think every mid couple or C-tier pairing is big game, and it ain't. It's the same principle here. Acting like Sam/Dante/Lulu was going to be some major gangbusters triangle that could spike the show's ratings and be great story - please. It is a foregone conclusion set against a stopgap C-pairing the show has no investment in. We are in the 2020s. We need to be getting more serious than acting like weak tea like Sam/Dante, T.J./Molly, Sonny/Nina, Brennan/Carly, Kristina/Blaze, Dex/Joss, etc. are going to drive the ratings. GH at its modern height, in the mid-late '90s or even early 2000s would not piss on these weak setups.

    • Mm-hmm; this is why the storyline, despite some standout performances, is an absolute mess. History of what we've seen played out is being ignored by the so-called historian "Elizabeth Korte" for their own storied history. Treating audiences like they're morons (well...) is not going to help your case.
    • I never watched the prior Brook Lynn actresses, except for Briana Lane's brief stint.  So I'm primarily familiar with Amanda's Brook Lynn. I did watch Lois and Ned decades ago when they first met and he was Eddie Maine.  I do remember Lois wanting honesty and feeling weird about Quartermaine nonsense.  I don't remember the details because I was watching it on live broadcast and it was so long ago, but I do remember in general what their characterizations were back then, (and that Wally was hot back then). There were many years I didn't watch GH at all because I objected to the mobster stuff.  So I have missed a lot.
    • That was weird because I wasn't sure if Doug saw them or not.  Both Johnny and Tate's backs were turned, but Doug 3 obviously knows Tate.  He didn't really react, so I am assuming he didn't see who she pointed out clearly. I got you!!  Lol.  You've already blamed this Days experiment of yours on me so the least I can do is answer your questions.
    • Yes, I am sure not everyone remembers Brook Lynn's romance with the Text Message Killer or her foray into being a paid escort first by Carly and then by Nik.  Those two examples you cited are when Amanda was actually in the role and are relatively recent.
    • These things especially make the retcon weird.  I mean all of the examples you cited, but especially those.
    • May 16th interview with Cherie Jimenez.   30 minutes long. (for returning viewers, she's the current Gabi -- mother of Will&Sonny's daughter Arianna.  Cherie has been airing since June 2024). This was previously was posted on the spoiler thread because it mentioned the casting of Marissa Reyes as SORASed Arianna Horton, and the recent scene where Gabi noticed Arianna wasn't in her room. Now that all of this has aired, I'm bringing it over to the main thread, as there are no spoilers anymore. Cherie is 40.  Marissa is 21, playing an 18-year-old.  Cherie is aware that they look more like sisters than mother/daughter.  Interestingly, Cherie said that in real life, her own mother was a teen when Cherie was born, and that people commonly mistake Cherie and her mom as sisters. Most of the interview is about Cherie as Gabi, getting cast, working with Brandon Barash, working with Casey Moss.

    • So, I guess John might be on the way out now that Robert is back and Nate's body has been found....  Or are they going to jump through hoops to keep him on the show and make us watch two Sugdens fight over a Dingle?

    • I preferred the Devil spawn delivery of the previous Rachel. She felt like the perfect child of Kristen DiMera and all the dysfunction she’s been through. The new actress is just a sweet girl.
    • I just read a new post where PersonB was quoting personA and I wanted to comment on the post so I started to quote ... with  I myself as the PersonC. I tried to quote what PersonB quoted from PersonA.  It should have been attributed to PersonA, but before submitting the post, I checked to see how it would display, and it automatically misatributed PersonA's words to PersonB.  So I didn't click to submit the post. So yes this is an ongoing glitch. I will need to take the time to go back and find the original post from PersonA to quote that.
