Chad Duell kind of backs up what @Contessa Donatella said about his reasons for leaving in this new interview with Steve and Bradford and says his father dying made him realize he’s too comfortable and wants to try other things. The idea this is only a temporary exit seems more like wishful thinking on the shows part though. Personally I hope we get a recast in a few months but I expect Frank to wait a while to see if the pressure of no stable income makes him want to return

I have to admit I just had no interest in anything the show did with Carly in ATWT's last decade, but I will have to try to find those scenes. 

Everything with Ava these days comes off to me as rewriting plans to kill her off, but if they are keeping her around, building her relationship with Lucas isn't a bad idea. I wish they'd done more with Ava and Sam, although that probably would never have worked.

Ava & Sam?! What an idea. I cannot imagine it.

It's true that Lucas & Ava, the Jerome connection, works, as it should.

I just think he needs to be with Spencers. Carly for one. Joss for another. He is the Bobby legacy. He's a doctor & he's at the hospital. I don't like Brad stalking him. But on the whole, I am very enamored of him as Lucas. I even got where he was coming from in his attack on Willow & Drew.

Although, clearly, that should have been Michael! And, we all know it.

Honestly. Perhaps it's because it's been a different kinda of year for me so I'm now looking at Christmas much differently than I have in years, but I really liked the Christmas episode here. With all the different families and little subplots running around.

 

I LOVE they finally played the beat of the aftermath of the Scorpio reveal between Sasha and Cody. I don't like the rewrite, but it did feel like they just dropped their interaction completely after their yearly teases. And now that they are connected to the same family, they do have to interact somewhat. Love James wanting Cody there. And I just about expected him to go and find him. Glad Sasha and Cody talked it out. And I went awwwww right along with Mac and James when Cody showed up. And it goes without saying KS looked great and I giggled at her talking to James about SHADE.

He is going to be such a divo. 

 

I kinda wonder if TJ was supposed to be in the Robinson/Ashford scenes instead of Marshall, but I didn't mind Marshall being there. And that reminds me that I loved that people who should have been in the episode, but were not in the episode were at least mentioned. Stella being a typical holiday mama was cute. And I loved Curtis let anyone know he was in charge of Aurora. Them saying prayer made me think of my mother.

 

There's the Nina I've been missing!!! I may always love the cameraman for his angles on CM, but lord if Drew doesn't continue to get creepier and creepier and looked 5 seconds away from going cray cray. And hehe at Ava and Ric! No, no, no, you two. You going to be a couple, you will be one ON CAMERA. Love seeing them, hated they were reduced to...you guessed it...the wacka, wackas. That said...the scenes played like a delicious time bomb so I can't hate on that. 

 

Wow. Christmas at Sonny's!!! And of course he would be encouraging Michael to keep on going getting revenge on Drew. And wow again...this is the first time Sonny and Brennan have really interacted. I really and truly wished that if Carly and Brennan are going to be a thing, they would be added to the list of Gio/Trina, Kai/Trina where the New/Old Writers actually RELAX and allowed Carly and Brennan come along naturally. Enough with the forced gimmicks. They actually don't need it and definitely did not have it when they started to interact. Right now, they just look silly when we all know he got her out of prison and Carly should have figured it out already which will naturally draw them together and then they could add Sonny as a spoiler if they wish. Again (for usual) it writes itself. 

 

No offense to the death, but I admit I giggled at the writers showing that CAMERON WON with Joss seeing him happy and with a girlfriend just a day after Dex died.

Duell makes it very clear why he is leaving. 
https://michaelfairmantv.com/chad-duell-opens-up-decision-to-leave-general-hospital/2024/12/29/

Speaking on his departure (which from this interviews seems like he has already wrapped his run), Chad shared, “A lot of stuff has been going on in my life. (With) this break, there’s a few things behind it. As people know, my dad passed away and I’m still coming to terms with that, and, also, my intention was to spend some time back in Arizona but that’s becoming a little harder to do. Right now, I’m just more about doing things mentally, physically, preparing myself for whatever comes, (and) next chapters.”

Thanks!  I have heard the interview.  

With the widespread info about Frank cutting costs I was just giving my thoughts on the situation.  Everyone here knows I have no insider info.

It doesn't really take away my opinion and point about this being a short "break" for personal reasons.  The rest of the interview he states he wants to try new things and reach his potential.  I have seen several posts on here that have stating he was sorting personal issues out and WILL be back.  That is still not what I am hearing from this interview.  

Anyhow, I am sure Michael will be back one way or another.

    • That's so funny, that's how I listen to Montecito - while walking my dog. I'll have to check out Forever & a Day.
    • I need to listen! Forever & a Day was a fun soapy podcast to have available when I walked the dog.
    • A few years ago, Devon and Nick started a charity organization together, I think it's for housing in the community.
    • I’m hoping to start getting to know Vernon better this month. He’s really only been a bunch of noble and good tropes so far. I don’t want him to be taken down the way Ted has been, but it seems he was a long-running Senator and no matter what party you are, lasting longer than twenty years means you’re looking out for you (and not who you’re supposed to be looking out for) most of all. I want to get to know both Vernon and Anita beyond their Dupree posturing. Clifton Davis can sleepwalk handling the kind of material Christopher Bernau and David Lewis handled and I’d like to see more than just a saint.
    • I thought Emily/Hal was a really interesting pairing. And I think KMH played that version of Emily very well! It might not have been what people wanted from Emily, and the writing got pretty gross at the end, but I thought she embodied that character effectively.
    • Don't know if this exactly fits here, but it is connected: Does this abandoned building look familiar? It is one of those explorer videos - and the outside may look VERY familiar if one watched GH in the '70s and '80s!

    • So, I have been in the hospital all week. I am close to being up to date on my soaps. Now I have to go to the Infusion Ctr daily to get IV antibiotics, for 6 weeks. I am frankly exhausted. A hospital is no place to be when you're sick. Hooked up to machines that go beep beep beep all day & night long. Someone wakes you up every hour on the hour for something, either to stick you with needles or to take your gosh-awful blood pressure for the umpteenth time. So, you don't get any sleep. Now I have a central line, upper right chest. After they "installed" it, I said, I am now Borg. They just stared at me. Apparently scifi is not general knowledge. What happened? I have an infection inside my big toe right foot & it burned the skin on my foot. The burned skin is already better. It was like a bad sunburn. The infection inside the toe is the issue. Oral antibiotics won't even get its attention. So, IV antibiotics plus time.

        As Salem bids farewell to John Black on Monday, the "Days" family and fans say a final goodbye to Drake Hogestyn.   From his time as a young man playing baseball in the minor leagues for the New York Yankees to his almost four-decade run as John Black, Drake always did his best. And, while becoming a soap opera icon, he spent almost 40 years at "Days" telling the best stories and taking the younger cast under his wing to make sure they would do their best as well. Thank you, Drake, for the legacy you have left for everyone at "Days." The impact you made on the cast, crew and fans will never be forgotten...and that's a fact.
    • I found an interview with Joseph Breen (Will Jeffries) where he mentions that Reva was put in a coma so Zimmer could go to Hollywood to do a pilot (OMG, if ONLY it had been picked up, LOL) and that Sonni and Josh and Will became a popular with the audience while she was out of commission.  If you want to read the whole thing: https://www.authorsden.com/visit/viewarticle.asp?id=47394 Breen was known for being very candid in interviews, I wish I could find more of them. I seem to recall he made a couple of snarky comments about Zimmer, implying she was not above acting like a diva. Sounded to me like he had a lot of respect for Forbes (who went on to have a very strong and varied career after GL). 
    • I was so confused why Devon was prying into Nicks love life and then it clicked and I remembered they’re brother-in-laws. Shows how little I pay attention to this show anymore. I was like uh? Do these two even know each other this well?
