Worth the wait. And it should completely be studied. So well done that you could feel her chemistry with BOTH of them at the same time. And Ric and Lucky soooo don't like each other so another layer. And just Lucky asking the favor, Ric knowing the only reason he would take it is for Liz...and Lucky know the same. Sooooo good. Meh. lol. It's moments like that one has to wonder if Gio's...besides being a potential love interest for Trina...was always going to be set up for this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members carolineg Posted Sunday at 02:27 PM Members Share Posted Sunday at 02:27 PM Seriously, the way she'd talk to people about Edward in particular was so awkward. The "Oh, you know how Grandfather is"..... Yes, the audience does but you don't. It may have been RC's way of coping with idiotic writing. She'd do it with love interests too. "Jax/Luke/Alcazar/whoever and I have such a long history-you wouldn't understand" sort of nonsense. Meanwhile, all of those pairings were instantly forgotten. I will never understand why Frons or whoever chose Skye of all characters in the history of ABC daytime to run around from show to show. I don't think RC/Skye was ever popular enough for that much exposure and Skye already had a backstory. I guess I just should be thankful it wasn't Alicia Leigh Willis or Kelly Monaco instead lol! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted Sunday at 03:33 PM Members Share Posted Sunday at 03:33 PM (edited) I don't think it was Skye so much as it was RC and the fact that she and Linda Dano had also portrayed mother and daughter on AW, which ABC had tried and failed to add to their lineup. But that's just my opinion. I still remember when Angela "Shop the Soaps" Shapiro was touting Dano's multi-show contract with ABC, throwing out buzzwords like "synergy" to make it all sound cutting edge. Personally, I thought it was stupid from day one to have Dano (and Christopher) travel from show to show like a two-person band of gypsies, rewriting history everywhere they went, and never gelling with ANY show, no matter how hard ABC tried. It was like watching Tori on "Saved by the Bell." No one at Bayside High in Port Charles ever saw her or talked about her; yet, we're supposed to pretend like she's always been there, lol.

Members DRW50 Posted Sunday at 03:53 PM Members Share Posted Sunday at 03:53 PM I love Linda Dano, but I never understood why Shapiro thought she had such a following that ABC Daytime viewers would want so much of her, in a part that had been on so long ago I can't remember if they were able to find any flashbacks. Then reuniting her with Robin Christopher just for a few years on AW together which I don't think were that iconic for fans. Christopher did have some good moments as Skye on AMC, but that involved her relationships with Stuart and Adam - the former was especially important for me. There was plenty of story for her on AMC, with Hayley, with Edmund, Erica, etc. Sorry, I know this has nothing to do with GH today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted Sunday at 03:58 PM Members Share Posted Sunday at 03:58 PM (edited) In a way, it does, since - thanks to Rae, Skye, Angela Shapiro, Brian Frons, Frank Valentini and Ron Carlivati - AMC, THE CITY, GH, LOVING, OLTL, PC and RH are all slices of the same, super-soap pie. If anything, all this "synergy" between the different ABC soaps spoiled my admiration for RC and Linda Dano, which had been pretty strong for years. By the time Dano left OLTL and Christopher left GH, I was SO relieved, lol. Which is why I'm like, "Nah, I'm good with not seeing Skye or even SORAS-ed Lila Rae again."

Members DRW50 Posted Sunday at 04:10 PM Members Share Posted Sunday at 04:10 PM (edited) That's a good point. Until I saw it in a comment on an RH promo a few months ago I had forgotten that Delia is supposed to be Ava's mother. When was that last even mentioned?

Members Khan Posted Sunday at 05:14 PM Members Share Posted Sunday at 05:14 PM Of all the shitty retcons I've had to witness in my years as a soaps fan, retconning Ava Jerome into being Delia's long-lost daughter - at a point in Delia's life when that would have been impossible - had to be among the shittiest. (At least when Douglas Marland gave his characters long-lost offspring, he did the freaking math, lol). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Taoboi Posted Sunday at 05:17 PM Members Share Posted Sunday at 05:17 PM LOL!!! The fact that I kinda knew who her ex was but STILL went to be sure. Love me sum 'Teddy!' Also love he is going through a renaissance in his own acting career. I am also surprised she never had any major work. Well with Nina being more and more of an afterthought, perhaps they can give CW her award reel by having Nina do her loooooong delayed breakdown and try to take Carly out...Willow can take her off screen, leaving a hole in the Q dynamic that Skye with a vixen-ish Lila Rae can fill...keeping the focus on the Q renaissance.

Members Contessa Donatella Posted Sunday at 05:17 PM Members Share Posted Sunday at 05:17 PM Not just your opinion. I THINK IT'S A FACT. RC played Lorna#2 on AW. She was Linda Dano's daughter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Taoboi Posted Sunday at 05:19 PM Members Share Posted Sunday at 05:19 PM I feel like that's been mentioned at least once in the last three years. I just can't remember the context. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted Sunday at 05:21 PM Members Share Posted Sunday at 05:21 PM (edited) Ava should give some tips to Cody and Sasha. Thanks. I looked just now on a GH wiki and apparently it was mentioned in 2023 - Ava said she still works at Ryan's Bar. This was during the strike period. I'm glad it at least lives on post Cartini wankery.

Members Taoboi Posted Sunday at 05:23 PM Members Share Posted Sunday at 05:23 PM I agree. I never saw Delia in her glory. I only knew of her from SOD so I would have liked to see her. Instead...we got ROXY. YW. Good to know. Kinda like the Austin thread being picked up again from what I've glanced here in the thread when the strike writers did reveal he and Mason was working for him so not far-fetched that Cyrus might have done away with him or found a way to do away with him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted Sunday at 05:38 PM Members Share Posted Sunday at 05:38 PM (edited) At this point, I would LOVE for Cody and Sasha to be exposed as con artists (with an axe to grind against the Scorpios) who have somehow conned Holly, Mac and Robert into thinking they are their respective, long-lost children. Anything to end that madness. Oh, and Willow faked her cancer. I want that to be exposed, too, lol.

Members carolineg Posted Sunday at 07:24 PM Members Share Posted Sunday at 07:24 PM I totally forgot she and Dano played mother and daughter on AW. I was always under the impression the original Lorna was the more popular one though and RC's stint was mostly a fail. Anyhow, the idea of the synergy and one character moving from soap to soap is intriguing. You just immediately have to re-write so much and ignore the fact many actors played different characters on other ABC soaps. This is probably something all the HW's and producers should have sat down and talked about before proceeding. Every show had a different idea for the characters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
