But not in the same sense of CBS or NBC canceling something.

what difference does it make? You're arguing semantics at this point. If the show is off the air, its cancelled. ABC cancelled all of their other owned soaps and if and when that ever happens to GH, the same verbiage will be used

To me, Daniel Cosgrove's best role will always be the one where he had to joyously eat dog jizz. 

I didn't know DC was on PASSIONS.

Where am I arguing, though? I'm not in an argument; it's called a conversation. And of course the same verbiage would be used; the human species is dumb.

Arguing

1. give reasons or cite evidence in support of an idea, action, or theory, typically with the aim of persuading others to share one's view.

2. exchange or express diverging or opposite views, typically in a heated or angry way.

I used the word in context of definition 1, not 2, which was part of the conversation. And it doesnt make anyone dumb for using the cancel verbiage if ABC ended, because that would be exactly what it is.

Right. Sometimes people think NBC canceled them but I don't think that actually happened. Instead I think because the "Beyond Salem" projects were thought of as positives, and likely because they wanted the subscriber base, Peacock actively wanted it. 

When GH was panic-casting for NuJack, Danny Cosgrove read, with Laura, but wasn't chosen, but as often happens, MarkT or whomever tagged him as someone they liked enough to want, for *some* possible role. 

I wondered if he is for Nina but it's because she's been solo for so long & also because she's more or less comfortable with the political arena. 

I also think the show will cut Brennan lose after they transfer a bunch of bad character aspects to him but that's also just speculation. 

If NBC had wanted to cancel them they could have. At the time I did think they were moving them to Peacock to cancel the show more easily but it's run on there a few years longer than I had expected.

I like Chris McKenna and Cosgrove is OK, but I wish they'd tried a soap newcomer in the part.

I can assure you, I was neither heated nor angry. At all. 🤷🏻‍♂️ But believe what you want; you're entitled to your wrong opinion. I'm telling you I wasn't arguing. That's my fact. 🙃 Enjoy the rest of your evening, Cheap.

Wasn't my aim, either. But thanks for the definition of "arguing," which I did not need. 🙃

And Peacock gave them their first increase in decades.

I like them both.

You have a good evening too.

Meanwhile, at the rate they're going, they'll have to relocate to the L.A. Coliseum just to tape everyone.

This. Because how can one not get snarky about yet another hire when there are so many on contract they should/could be using.

He looks better with his hair grown out some.

I'll be very surprised if Nina is paired with anyone on this show ever again, especially since she's been so drastically back-burned over the last year or so and this show doesn't seem to have any real interest in her. I feel like Nina may more than likely remain single for the rest of her days or at least for as long as this show continues to be on air. Honestly I think she's better off single anyway and she is better off as a supportive friend and talk to than being a viable romantic interest to any potential leading man.

Well, I think it's a terrible waste. If you bring Cynthia Watros on what I want is full bore OTT & back again, crazy as a loon!! Of course, that's really changing the subject from romantic pairing! LOL.

Well, that's different from having a romantic interest. Honestly, since they are not using Nina that much anyway as a character, they should just ultimately write her off by having her go crazy and insane while ending things with a big bang. Big bonus if she somehow manages to have both Willow and Drew killed in the process.

Now, we're really getting somewhere! YES!!! However, I am under no illusion that Frank doesn't have his attachment thing, whatever it is, in place with Cameron but Heck, I can still dream of a bloodbath!!! Nina goes crazy. Kills both Willow & Drew & then offs herself, murder-suicide. Reason: Went Bat Shi* Crazy! Fans are so pleased that the cast is reduced by 3!!! If they only had a suggestion box, right?
