Wasn't there talk of them bringing back Rita as Gus' mother at one point? Or something? -

I think they are a part of the same family, although Carla was never really scheming for the same reasons, and once her double life was exposed, she stopped. -

Rachel/Ada, Mona/Erica, a mother/daughter at LOVING, these are all examples of the Agnes Nixon "troublesome daughter/put upon mother" trope. Are Carla/Sadie by any chance one of the pairs that make up this trope? Another thing that these 2 shows might have in common. OLTL had a very strong thematic approach to socioeconomic differences between groups of people. Class differences. AW at an earlier point had this too but to be clear it was not as much as OLTL. So that is a similarity but marginal. Besides that, I see no other comparable things. Paul Rauch was a very different EP at different shows. Oh, I've thought of one more thing. Using actors from the Broadway stage. But, realistically that was something all of the NY shows had in common. So I don't think it has any uniqueness between AW & OLTL. -

When you look at the period between Sweeps, it's as if they tried to maintain a kind of pace where they had a lot of plates spinning in the air & on their fingertips & the whole goal was nothing but to not drop any of those plates. A version of spinning one's wheels. They're not getting anywhere but they give the appearance of a whole lot of activity. I believe it's all about this appearance. At moments they accidentally hit a chord & something resonates but it is a false event. -

I’m not speculating anything, but I admit, I’m getting a little worried about James Reynolds.

I feel like this is what they're doing by creating lots of storylines but their biggest weakness for years is the inability to properly pace these stories and give resolution. A good example now would be the Gio story which has been simmering for months with very little movement. I went from not caring to being invested to not caring again because of how long it's taking for the secret to be revealed. One story like that would be fine but it seems like everything moves at this snails pace on GH. They need to do a better job of rotating the stories so everything isn't in that same treading water phase. -

However, those of us who watch DAYS have been spoiled. On Peacock there are no preemptions. Not for anything & not in or about any show. I read somewhere that we Baby Boomers in a way invented instant gratification but then we realized that it was not fast enough. -
