I liked Morgan a little better than Britt.   BC and KT turned me off so long ago with their comments that I just don't care.  They basically both asked to be killed off and........now are available because they can't book work.   I am not advocating adding more characters to the canvas, but I would giggle if both Morgan and Britt were recast.

I'll give Kelly a bit of credit for make a meaningless character somewhat relevant.   I was never a fan of that Dr. Obrect/Faison/Nathan/family era though and to me she's sort of in the same category as Nelle, Sabrina, Sasha, Willow who are all related to some people on canvas just because.

Though tbf, on the show, I did like Morgan, but his off screen antics overshadowed any love I could have for the character very quickly.

Beyond her offscreen stupidity, Thiebaud has very weak range and can't play real romantic drama or convey depth. When she tried in the Carlivati years it was embarrassing. So instead they kept trying to turn Britt into a snarky gay 'icon' and that this was somehow queer-coded material by simply telling us over and over that she was one while she was just... a straight woman.

I could not believe they had drag queens at Britt's sendoff while having no actual LGBT story on the show lol. Like I'm sorry, penning a handful of scenes where Britt and dayplayer Brad give forced giggles watching the Nurses Ball does not automatically make this snarky queer-coded content lol. I don't care what easily pleased sea lions on Twitter say.

She had chemistry with Steve. That's the most I'll give her. She was real lucky they were in a bind and she was the B/C player on the show available.

Hated them. Do not especially miss Obrecht the mad scientist who (per her original story) committed horrendous medical crimes while experimenting on various patients. Sorry! I don't mind seeing Obrecht in a villain role coming in and out from time to time; Kathleen Gati is talented. Do I need her hanging around GH indefinitely while people are on a fond first name basis with this madwoman? No! GTFO of here with 'oh, that Liesl!'

Man, this show.

Now Britt on the other hand...lol. You know where I stand on her. In terms of Jason and Britt at least. lol.

 

I will give her this much though...her character came in when GH really did need something it had been missing at that point...a good firm bitca. A bad girl. And she served that well. And I got Dr. O out of that. Outside of the Britt/Nickolas/Liz triangle which gave my Liz something to do...yeeeah she eventually had no big use.

I forgot both Sabrina and Britt were allegedly gay icons.

Kelly Thiebaud is just a cold actress and inherently unlikeable, IMO.  Similar to RC's Skye.  They can be decent utility players and work in some sense at different times but Britt in particular had very little depth besides constant medical issues and had to birth one of Lulu's kids of course.  She was meant to be the heavy in the Patrick/Robin/Sabrina plot and they kept Britt far too long because that's what GH does.  Lisa Niles walked so Britt could run.

She worked fine with Steve, but as you said, she was practically the only actress available not named Liz, Sam, or Carly at that point.

About Morgan, in the beginning: no problem but no great shakes either.

Later on though definitely problems. In his defense trying to put bipolar on him, seems like just asking for trouble. Not a good idea, IMO anyway.

I loved KT, Britt, Brita, and this was in spite of, not because, of certain things.

ALSO I love Liesl, Dr. O

      Thanks, msn drives me nuts on the one hand but on the other hand their headlines appeal to me. And, I just don't do FoxNews.

      The link doesn't work.  The actual link is this: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/composer-leonard-bernstein-s-children-request-his-music-be-played-in-the-kennedy-center-in-rebuke-to-trump/ar-AA1E7gw5 That's a reprint of a FoxNews article. MSN reprints stuff from many sources. You can tell the source from the logo above the headline on the msn page. The FoxNews article is describing what Leonard Bernstein's children wrote -- as a "letter to the editor" of the New York Times. Instead of reading it filtered through FoxNews, here is the original: "Our Dad, Leonard Bernstein, Would Want His Music Played at the Kennedy Center" https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/02/opinion/kennedy-center-leonard-bernstein-protest.html Non-paywall archivedcopy of the same NYTimes letter, without commentary: https://archive.is/QaLqD

      Guiding Light Discussion Thread

      By alwaysAMC · Posted

      Might be a long shot, because I can't find a thing online about it, but I was Googling the actress that played Nell Cleary (Frank's cop friend that went through academy and then became cops together during the entire Brent Lawrence storyline). To my surprise, she passed away in 2011, at the very young age of 45. I can't find her obituary or anything online about her passing, but I'm curious, does anyone know what happened? Her IMDB only shows a few other acting gigs post-Guiding Light, so she didn't make a career out of it, but I thought she was a great actress in her role as Cleary. Her name was Mary Peterson.

      What was Ruth Martin's association to the Thornton family?  I only remember the daughter that dated Tad, and she had a buxom mother.  But, did Ruth date David Thorton before Joe?

      Why didn't Steve respect Monica and Jeff's decision?  I get he's Jeff's father, and that's how it came out, but I don't like the ethics of the story. A stranger gets to make life or death decisions over a wife's demands?   I hope Monica secretly never forgave Steve's chauvinism.

      Y&R: Old Articles

      Question: Jon-Michael Reed's review of 1977 is up in the retro soap section.  It includes a fleeting reference to comedic scenes between Jeanne Cooper and Julianna McCarthy regarding “Kay's would-be beau, Ralph the Plumber”.  Could someone please fill me in will more details? I forgot that Kay and Liz were friendly before Jill stole Kay's husband.  And the thought of Liz playing a comedic scene blows my mind, because I only recall her being dour both in demeanor and wardrobe.

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      I said this on Twitter on Friday when Leslie mentioned Chicago, so perhaps she might be related to one of Anita's bandmates. In addition, Leslie did say she grew up listening to The Articulettes too.

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By janea4old · Posted

      There was a scene in the past week or two with Leslie looking at some papers and mementos, which included an invitation or souvenir from Alan's memorial service or funeral -- it was dated as November 2024. Me just guessing but it seems to me that Martin's nightmares about the accident are from something longer ago than November.

      I felt for Ted early on but as the story unfolded it has changed my opinion on him. To know he was cheating while his wife was struggling to give him a baby is a lot to deal with. Plus, this happened ages ago and still he's paying Leslie off and threatening her to leave town.  What really caused me to lose him in this episode was how even though he was busted, he still refused to take responsibility and come clean and the way he talked to Martin and Eva was terrible. To tell Smitty he better get Martin away from him when that is his SON who he used to cover up his affair? That is true dog behavior. Ted seems upset he got caught but I'm not seeing the remorse I would need to want Nicole to forgive him. I'm curious how I'll feel after Ted gets to talk to Nicole but I need him to fix it with the rest of the family as well.
