GH: March 2025 Discussion Thread

I know.  I apologize.

[Contessa Donatella]

If so, hoooray for them. But so many kids?

I just attended a Zoom event with Rena Sofer and Eva LaRue. I posted a big Natalia spoiler in the spoiler section. Here are other things that i learned:

-Amanda Setton can't do Zooms on a Saturday because she is Jewish.

-Vanessa Marcil doesn't want a contract right now.

-John Lindstrom is still with the show and is doing double duty.

-Eva LaRue is afraid people don't like her character.

-Jonathan Jackson has a very busy schedule.

-One episode is 96 pages of script shot in one day. They are now shooting 2-3 episodes in a day. Actors are now having to perform 75 pages of script in one day.

-Rena Sofer's favorite role was on the show Ed.

-Rena and Vanessa Marcil travel together super cheap and stay in cheap hotels.

-Actors get scripts one week before they shoot them.

-Rena and Eva showed off their dogs. One of Rena's dogs is barely alive and she carries it around like a baby. She was holding it for much of the event. Zoomers asking questions were also showing off their dogs.

-Rena and Eva can't go the Graceland event because only contract players are invited.

-The Wildwind set on AMC is being reused as part of Wyndemere and the chapel that Brook Lynn got married in.

@Aragornyou are my hero. From a young age I was taught sharing is best. You epitomize that.

Steve Burton has three kids.

Mo has 4.  

That's pretty normal?  They are mostly adults at this point anyhow.

[Contessa Donatella]

I was counting Sherry's kids & Steve's fiancé, who has 3 of her own. 

Probably just me.

I just saw the episode where Cody tells Lulu about Brooklyn's pregnancy. WTF would he tell her? He kept this secret for 20 years yet just spills. Why would he beleive that BK would confide in Lulu, someone thats been established to her her arch rival? He truly is the dumbest character on the show and cant hold water. I cant tell you how much I cant stand him

The taping schedule is insane. Pretty hard for them to deliver any kind of quality.

Might be quite stressful for some actors. Is there some kind of union ruling on how much actors can be asked to do?

[DRW50]

Thanks for sharing all these details. 

The ship has likely sailed about fans ever liking Natalia, so Eva should just enjoy the paychecks.

I never do any of these, but I hope someone eventually asks Rena about Loving in them. 

If only contract players can attend these gatherings they're going to lack some big names.

[Liberty City]

That's bullshït unless it's a brand-new rule. Recurring and guest players have attended before (i.e., Bradford Anderson, Lynn Herring, & Walt Willey).

And it's Jon, not John.

[Cheap21]

It might be that they only pay for contract actors and those that are recurring have to pay their own way which Rena and Eva werent willing to do

[Liberty City]

Considering only two/three recurring go each time, I doubt it.

[Khan]

And she would be right.

[Contessa Donatella]

I & others have been concerned about the stress these people are under.  Actors, yes, but more, crew & support people.  If it were against some rule, then it wouldn't be happening.
