SO WASTED! AJ/Elizabeth was a viable pairing and, I felt like, if I can recall properly, he didn't treat Elizabeth as weak or needing to be saved. Plus, Elizabeth Quartermaine is a kick-ass name... more so than Elizabeth Baldwin.

 Cannot believe she's still Baldwin.

The biggest mistake of the Valentini era for me was resurrecting AJ, with the right actor, and then killing him off again. There have been plenty of others, but that one had potential to bring the actual Q family back and have natural issues with Carly, Michael, and Sonny. Add in the original Drew/Jason story and actual Jason returns. AJ should have stayed. I also liked him with Liz.

Kelly Monaco didn't need to be hired to play a character on a cancelled soap.  She was hired because she looks a lot like Vanessa Marcil and finished off Brenda's story with some tweaks because Vanessa abruptly bolted for primetime.  That's it.  That's the end of the casting story.

I will acknowledge Kelly tried to make Sam her own and succeeded in the end, but realistically, she hasn't had any fire, committment or care for years.  So all the shout outs of Kelly being screwed is not accurate.  She was actually incredibly lucky to hold a job for 2 decades with minimal effort.

I agree!!

People want to act like this is akin to killing off Maureen Bauer, and I'm just not here for that.  GH was fine without KM and Sam before, it will be fine without KM and Sam again.

I don’t want to downplay KeMo being brought on because of her own well deserved popularity from Port Charles, theres a reason all of the soaps were trying to snag her when the show was canceled. Yeah Guza and Pratt dusted off the Brenda story they had sitting in the drafts but her casting wasn’t just because they were desperate for a Brenda fill in like they were when hiring Lisa Vultaggio, etc.

-- Tabyana Ali played Trina as much too amped up when she talked about Kai in those scenes with Joss. I know we're getting the typical meet cute cliche where the girl has to dislike the guy intensely in the beginning only to be over-the-moon for him at some point. I'm glad we got to see something natural in later scenes.

-- That Kai and Dex sparring scene could not have looked more cringe.

-- Chad Duell, of all people, was pretty good today.

-- Seeing the previews of Sonny the Murderer AGAIN making threats like some low-level mob boss mad me smh.

I absolutely believe it wasn't her only job offer.  She had a lot of buzz post-PC

I am just stating the obvious about her GH role.  I am pretty sure it has been publicly stated or at least is an open secret that Sam finished out the bones of the Brenda story when VM left after her contract expired because Guza thought VM was going to re-sign.  You can pretty much entirely place Brenda into Sam's story the first year and imagine how much better it would be.

That being said, Sam hasn't been a Brenda clone to me in years.  Brenda would have more energy and not be lethargy on screen like KeMo often was.

    • Tbf it's not unusual for a family when they are dealing with some bad news that changes a life to use song to give out hope.Especially black families. I personally had to deal with that very thing this weekend. Partly off putting, but at the same time, I did get the point and it gave me a bit of hope in the moment.      MM is definitely acting. But Smitty is just so passive. It could turn into quiet strength at some point, but for now...passive IMO. 
    • Am I remembering correctly that the Madison's lived in a Spanish revival-style house? I have a vague recollection of the fireplace looking especially Spanish in style. It is unusual that Montecello had so many architectural styles.  Obviously, that might occur IRL.  But, look at other east coast soaps and there is a definitive style that is throughout (because it was styled by a set decorator) regardless of the income of the occupants.
    • @kalbir MSW was a powerhouse for CBS. Angela Lansbury was a superb actress. In 1985, TV viewers were tiring of the primetime soaps and the like. People wanted storytelling and MSW was great at that and had great guest stars. Storytelling -- an amazing and novel concept. CBS Daytime by 1985 was beating ABC so CBS was on the upswing.
    • I'd say just the opposite - conflict means they will find out and then be at odds. For the limited amount of time people on this show have conflict (if they aren't named Nina or Ric, I guess).
    • Totes mcgoats (aka I agree). But, now the character needs to move forward.  Clyde's exit was 12/11/24.  It is May.  She and Chad have been on one date. I don't think they've slept together. And she was only planning on sticking around for a year.
    • That is one of the best insults I've heard in a long time.  I burst out laughing when Kat called Eva that.  LOL Their scenes, of course, were really good.  Colby and Ambyr have so much chemistry.  The only thing I'd change is Kat saying "you're dead to me."  That's a phrase usually said about someone you care about.  I would've preferred something like "You will never be my sister," or something similar to that.  Nice contrast at the end with both mothers/daughters:  Kat comforting/consoling her mother, and Eva being locked out by her mother.  Yeah, I wasn't a big of fan of the singing either, especially after your daughter's life has been destroyed.  What?  LOL And I also agree with those that thought Dana/Leslie's scenes with the Dupree's didn't feel right since Eva is not a Dupree....unless she is.  But as of right now, she's not. 
    • Trisha Mann-Grant, Ambyr Michelle, Sean Freeman are destined for bigger and better things. They need to move on as soon as their initial contracts are done.
    • Daphnée Duplaix and Trisha Mann-Grant on Instagram live, 5/5/2025 just concluded, saved here https://www.instagram.com/p/DJSsYb7PDv8/                
    • I really need to see Anita in a scene that isn't with a family member. In fact, I would have preferred that she would have gotten rid of the mob and had a one on one with Leslie to lay down the law with her.  I'm going to say it, Mike Manning has been completely lifeless on this show. Other than people's superficial fondness for him, I don't get what they see in him as an actor. I never saw him on DAYS though. The show had another really strange cut right before the opening credits where it looked like they almost cut off Nicole mid-sentence.  Kat/Eva are carrying this show on their backs. Lock them in for lifetime contracts, I beg.
    • There's a 1980 scene of Victor and Katherine in the Chancellor Estate living room where they went over a contract that would put Victor in charge of Chancellor Industries, but it was rewritten that Katherine brought Victor to Genoa City so he could run Chancellor Industries.
