What a random appearance; also, hating the lineup of stars. I would remove Maurice Benard, Cameron Mathison & Laura Wright; and would replace them with Genie Francis, Brook Kerr & Maura West (for selfish reasons).

GH is running scared. It's  because BTG is coming!

Funny that JHud airs on CBS here right after BTG airs.

Frank: "Which one of you wants to be our Designated Negro for the JHud appearance?"

They won't make any effort to actually showcase their black cast but will put them on the Jennifer Hudson Show.

It likely shows they don't think Beyond the Gates is actual competition. Given the minimal amount of viewers for soaps now, they probably aren't wrong, but they have given a lot of their fans every reason to move (at least if the likes of Guza and Carlivati weren't there).

On the contrary, I think this move is absolutely about GH knowing they now have competition, and trying to shore their Black/CBS crossover audience up with this token appearance (and tossing in DT and Tanisha Harper). But I do think longtime brand loyalty is very strong for the audience at what's left of GH, so it's gonna be a tough fight no matter what.

Ron doesn't concern me. He is relegated to breakdowns, he has no creative control and isn't writing scripts. And Guza has a certain skillset I think suits a show well (especially a new one trying to make waves). But this Is ultimately MVJ's show, not his - he's her co-HW, but this is her creation. What it does and where it goes is ultimately down to her first IMO, and a lot will also fall on the dialogue staff. (Which, like @Khan, makes me wish they would persuade Mulcahey to come aboard on that level despite the fact that I believe the entire dialogue staff is Black.)

Nothing against MVJ, it's just when two people who work with/for you took over longtime shows and ruined them beyond recognition, I'm going to be wary.

I think ABC is somewhat concerned, but if they were really concerned, they'd have made more changes. Instead, they seem to have only marginalized their black characters further.

I suppose they may feel the only audience they have left are old conservative white people. I would like to say they are wrong...

I think they absolutely believe that. Which explains their terrified response to Sprina, their swimming in circles on key actors and story, and the numerous pointed comments that they don't listen to Twitter but to 'other social media outlets'.

    • I could've sworn FV let other people direct either here or at OLTL. I may be wrong. IIRC Kimberly is now very active directing multi-cam/sitcom work.
    • IIRC MVJ said the million was just the first piece of what Leslie got or was already owed, something they did make explicit in dialogue but not too explicit. Still, I am past worrying about it. I do think they want 30-yo elder millennial Peaches in her Sophia Petrillo wig to be a point of pathos for Leslie. In theory I am fine with that, and don't dislike Peaches despite the jarring physical disconnect and need for a recast lol. But I do think they do a lot of B&B-style whizzing from Point A to Point C with Leslie on this kind of stuff - in one scene she is raising hell, in the next she is weeping over Peaches. There's very little transition to that sometimes that allows for the nuance, and that can be done much better and they can go much deeper with Leslie (and most characters). The newer/younger audience for the show may have less issue with this kind of quick change than we do.

       Thank you.   That was part of my reasoning as well. I think about the days of Kevin, Joey, and Jessica on OLTL or Lucky/Liz/Nik/Sarah/Emily on GH or the Last Blast Kids on DAYS or the Glow by Jabot kids, and it takes me back. Sure I started soaps due to the older cast with their divas, but I do like to see people around my age back then, too. Great memories.   So I love a good relatable teen tale. Bullying. Hormones for the Bad Boy. College choices and internal conflict. 
    • Thank you for the information.  I did listen to the entire interview with Miss Roux -- way back when it was first released.  But I am unable to recall her mentioning Connie Ford, and don't have time nor effort to listen to the entire thing again, just for one small morsel. So again, thanks for responding.    I do recall Roux sounded extremely fragile and perhaps a bit wounded in the interview. I almost felt guilty for even listening to it.  So perhaps that has some influence on my reluctance to listen to it again.  She seemed troubled, to say the least.   
    • Boxer-briefs, huh?   Well...called it on Cane/Giggly Heffa hooking up so not surprised.
    • Do you have Addie’s first air date??
    • Even now Victor is always so warm with Ashley. I liked their brief re-pairing as well.
    • @depboy Thanks. That does help. @titan1978 @Paul Raven Really enjoying the analysis of the production methods and what Monty was doing.  I wish we got some of those biopics here that a few UK soaps got as a biopic on Monty's first few years at GH would be fascinating. 
    • The original 'mansion' was one of the set upgrades they did in 1980 . It was the Chandler residence. When that story fizzled out I think it became Stuart Whyland's house -not 100 on that. But it was revealed that Stuart was working for the Di Mera's (rewrite) so Stefano moved into that house. Mmmm...then it became Alex Marshall's? Neil and Liz lived there also. At some point it was finally replaced.  
    •   Thanks. I'm glad she got to as I know some producers tend to get mad if actors want to direct.
