Steve Burton has always seemed protective of the Jason/Robin romance.  I don't know how much he cares about it now, but he's always spoke fondly of it.  

Honestly, with KeMo being canned, Liz most likely getting Lucky back, Jason/Carly flopping for the 2nd or 3rd time, and Britt being dead, it's not like Steve has a ton of other options to push an agenda for.

Exactly. He vetoed Jason and Carly for years too, til he didn't. Suddenly Jason was down to fúck two women in the same year. Only reason he and Carly haven't in the 2020s is because Steve quit last time and they still have zero chemistry this time while the ratings cratered during his comeback.

Just the other day in a recent podcast he was clear that he thinks it's an absurd idea. Sorry I don't know what exact words but my impression was a disparaging guttural sound along with saying that it is NOT the kind of relationship they are setting up between him & "Robin's mother"!!! They answer questions from fans in one segment & you got it, some fan asked. I do not believe he liked even being asked!

Yeah.  We can go into all the backstage dynamics that Frank allows especially with his faves, but I don't know if Steve has the power to veto this on principle.  Robin/Kmc isn't coming back outside short visits, so that's not an issue.  Jason's return certainly hasn't set GH ratings on fire, so I could see Steve being smart and just doing what he's told at this point and not creating waves.  He's pretty lucky he got re-hired so seamlessly in the first place and it's very clear the show is shoe horning Jason in stories where he doesn't exactly belong to make him relevant.  

Not liking it and refusing to play it are two different things.  We are used to Mo and Steve throwing their weight around, but SBu might just be fine letting it happen to keep his job.  I think we sometimes overestimate Steve's power these days.  The show can survive without him.  

Even though most of us know the show could survive without Sonny it hasn't since 1998.

I also think it's fairly likely Jason and Anna are kissing in the cells to distract the guards. But that's almost certainly not the end of it. As I said elsewhere, soaps usually don't do this kind of material unless they are playing with pursuing a romance. Finola's new interview today about the scenes certainly suggests there's more to their motivation for a kiss than just that kind of action. Jason and Anna have been tight for months, and Steve is out of romantic options on the show.

I'm not really talking about anyone refusing to play something they might be asked to play. More of what I mean is that they pretty much know what will or will not happen. So not throwing weight around as much as just being aware. And, my impression from what it was that he recently said is that it's not gonna happen. So, if you see what I mean, maybe that is more clear.

If you write in a way that has Jason and Anna conflicted about their feelings, and not like a trashy B&B style kind of way, it could be interesting.  You could even bring back Kim for a short arc if things progress with Anna/Jason romantically.   Plus, like you said, Jason/Robin was so long ago.   The more I think about it, I think it would be pretty soapy.  LOL

Months ago, Jason and Anna started getting close by sharing cop stuff and inside info. I saw it then, that they would likely put them together in some romantic way. I was jumped. Oh no! Not Robin's mother and Jason! Please. This stale writing can easily put up with a little social media uproar if Jason and Anna do the deed. It's what they crave, attention and uproar. No doubt they will run with it.

    • That's on Kimmer. As someone posted above...she was offered roles in pilots but she would be part of an ensemble or supporting. She didn't want that so she came back to GL. I don't know what she thought would happen..someone offering her "Here's Kimmer!" or The "Zimmer Comedy Powerhouse Hour" variety show..but her housefrau fans did not have the same pull in HW as they did on the soaps. Forbes and Watros knew that you had to take small parts to get noticed ands start a career in primetime. I know she was in consideration for the wife in Evening Shade, but when you go up against Marilou Henner, the soap diva looses. I could see her frustrated in a role like that, where she has to be the understanding wife with a bit of sass, but she could have made it work, if it wasnt for her huge ego.  I think it would have been an issue haveing all the powerhouse comedy actors surrounding...(lets face it..Alice Ghostly woudl have wiped the floor with her...) but it would have been a good launching padd.
    • Oh good, so I don't have to wait too long haha. I'm glad she cares about seeing Bill graduate. I'm guessing I'm in for a bumpy ride between Bill and Matt, if he's going to be his caretaker? Who else could it be, maybe Josh?

    • Maeve makes a few sporadic appearances, but returns full-time the next spring/summer. She's back in time to see Bill and Michelle graduate, although she skulks around town and wasn't going to tell anyone she was alive. She comes back wearing this HUGE hat---which was a throwback to the old Vanesaa. lol.
    • Aww, yeah it's very heartbreaking and I mostly enjoyed the Nola/Vanessa scenes because they finally let their walls down and came together in a beautiful moment. So Nola was at the hospital already and bumped into Vanessa, who had MRI papers that fell out of her hand and Nola went down to pick them up and asked her what was going on. Later, Vanessa confided in her about her disease. Then, Nola told Zachary on the beach (he prodded her and already alluded to knowing something was going on with Van), and then Vanessa found out she told him and got a little upset. Now, however, Nola is strangely absent while everyone is mourning her death. I'm curious if Nola will actually tell people about her MRI results. I would assume so. Only Nola, Rick, Roger and Zachary know anything, although there is the MRI results letter from the mail that everyone has missed seeing at home. I'm sure it'll all come out at some point. But... I just saw the next episode and the opening already cut Vanessa out and added Dahlia and Zachary. I guess Maeve is gone for a long time

       That will break my heart seeing the town continue to mourn her and assume she's dead. I can't wait to see her return though, and I have to imagine feelings will be torn between loving that she's alive and being very angry she did all of this. While I hate what Vanessa is doing, I'm happy to hear it's not totally against her character. I think you're right, had Henry still been around, she wouldn't put him through this. I'm still surprised she is with Bill, though. I get her feelings on Matt, because she wants him to move on, but still very heartbreaking. I'm glad this was Maeve's choice to have a break vs. being fired.    Interesting, so I'm curious to see who they eventually pair Phillip with. They're flirting with a Phillip/Annie pairing, but I'm not sure if they'll go that route with the Jeva drama, her growing pill addiction, and Rick's past with her.  Ugh, yeah I'm so sad to see Bridget do a total 180 in the last couple weeks. She has always been a strong character from what I've seen, but now she's just bending over backwards to get Hart to love her and it reeks of desperation. Yeah, sure, this new Hart is eye candy, but I'm already tired of seeing Hart/Dinah have sex all over Springfield and the Cayman Islands haha.
    • Yes.  I remember them together during the early summer of 1986.  They didn't share scenes again for 30 years until 2017 because Carrie wasn't on the show when Anna returned during Sydney's kidnapping.
    • I can see Kim being that way. Well, Kyle didn't have to say yes. LOL. The suicide attempt feels plot-driven. I don't know if even Long could've made it work. She'd spent so much time trying to make Reva and Kyle into a couple, it feels odd to just have them give up. Not to mention how odd it is to have Maeve agree to marry him. Re Charita---surely they could've at least tried  finding clips with who was still there. Maybe they wouldn't have been "big" moments, but surely she'd interacted with Ross, Vanessa, and Henry. Vanessa had dated Ed, FCOL. But Mo and Rick were there---surely they could've bothered to find some clips of her with them (and they did interact a fair amount) and used them. And with Ed they could've found some shot of her talking to him and just not cut to whoever was playing Ed in the clip. That to me is what feels lazy---they had more than a year to figure it out, and they went with a bunch of photos. If you were sort of centering it on Rick anyway---then find clips with them and use 'em.
    • I definitely think it's time to write off Nina for good. I think her killing Drew might actually be a good idea. She could completely lose it after losing both Sasha and Willow and she ends up murdering Drew and eventually she gets caught and sent away to prison for a long time.
