If I had a nickel for every time I said as much to Angel and Spike fans....

There was a time when Evan Hofer would have been FORCED to improve as an actor, because, let's be honest: as fantastic as Mark Teschner is, he didn't always hit a home-run casting-wise even BEFORE Frank Valentini entered the building.  But Hofer would have had people like Wendy Riche and Shelley Curtis - not to mention, GH's once-elite directing team - working with the s.o.b., getting him to a place where, if he wasn't as good as Jonathan Jackson, he was, at the very least, watchable.

But that was then, and this is now; and now we have an EP and directing bunch who simply can't be bothered to work with their [!@#$%^&*] actors, because the only thing that's on their minds is getting everything done and everyone out of the studio before they have to pay the Teamsters overtime.

Though horribly miscast, they and Tony Geary helped Jacob Young improve tremendously at GH. He was still miscast, but at least he didn’t just stare and pout anymore.

I was shocked to see he arrived in 2022. It felt like he was there for at least 5 years to me. Five long years.

I think Evan Hofer has some potential.  He just needs to be in the right situation, with the right people guiding him.  He didn't get that w/ Frank Valentini, but then again, neither do most these days at GH.  The only ones who seem to rise above the mismanagement and lack of guidance are those who've been there for many years, who know their characters well and who know how to work even with the worst producers and directors on the planet.

I think this aspect of GH mostly faded by the late '90s, as I don't remember Juan, Hannah, Chloe, etc. ever standing out (although Hannah and Chloe were OK, I guess, just, like Dex, fodder for the main characters), but I agree the show still cared a little more at the time.

Part of me thought this was gonna end up a sting operation, still kind of do tbh. If not EH is going about this exit the right way by not leaking stuff and rage baiting fans like others have. GH gets a lot of engagement clicks on these outlets too so EH is smart to book every interview he can to boost his profile. I could see him on Days or in the Lifetime/Hallmark movie circuit.

    • I don't, since they've clearly incorporated them into Tomas' storyline, and I happen to like his tattoos, but his jackets not fitting doesn't mean they're trying to cover his tattoos. The clothing overall isn't the issue; it's the fit. And I expect(ed) more from Jeresa Featherstone and her team. Very disappointed. He's the only male, overall, whose costume irritates me.
    • "And OMG, watching the scenes of Roger's return in comparison...the quality in the writing really nosedived. The stupid mask." Very much agreed.  Having Roger hide behind a mask for weeks/months, with it culminating with him swinging in on a vine at Blake/Phillip's wedding....geez.  So juvenile. IMO, Guiding Light never did a good job reintroducing major characters, either from the dead or elsewhere.  Masked balls = awful.  Amish = awful. When Reva was brought back from the dead, she should've just showed up in Springfield as Reva, and informed everyone that she had been gone for years because she felt like it.  She had a four-year fling with some dude who ended up dumping her due to disloyalty. Josh would be pissed and declare that their love is not *always* but *sometimes* and he'd act accordingly.  Her kids would hate her.   
    • Agreed. The Emmys next year are gonna be a pretty tough competition and I hope we get a Days sweep lol  Not only does Deidre deserve a nomination for these last few weeks, but I also think Paul Telfer, Raven Bowens, Carson Boatman, Dan Feuerriegel and Alison Sweeney have good chances as well.
    • It’s not about a lack of faith and trust in MVJ, it’s about a a lack of faith and trust in Ron Carlivati, who I think can be very sneaky and manipulative when he wants to be.  And, all that “He’s just a breakdown writer” talk never changed my mind about anything, because at Days, it was “just a breakdown writer” that gave us some of the worst episodes I’ve ever seen.

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
