Well I did tune in to see the Willow vs Carly catfight. And yeeeah that was good. I've been wanting Carly to slap the taste out of her mouth since Michael got burned. YES, CARLY please GET...ON...THE...LOOSE.

 

I did like seeing Diane give Alexis the hard truth that Kristina should have been committed ages ago. Still running around town calling that baby by the wrong name. Also good to see Liz and Ric are okay.

 

While I'm here I do hate that it seems like Michael is quickly recovering off-screen. I would have had him in a coma off-screen so that when the inevitable recast happen, he could just shock/surprise folk after six months of pulling manipulate strings behind the scenes. 

 

And I do find it funny that NOW the New/Old writers want to poke at Sonny's friendship with Laura and Anna given that PM did a better job of that very thing by dissolving the friendships in his run because he saw the illogicalness of it in the first place. So...the side-eye.

Pretty much. And while I thought KS was actually okay as the wound-tight Kate in her early months, everything about her performance as Connie was totally embarrassing. But it's exactly the kind of campy, OTT 'tour de force' Frank and RC often loved. Until they got other stars (Maura West) and lost interest!

Megan was wonderful as Kate but every time she's returned as Ghost Connie I've found her dreadful. In fairness the material is pretty bad.

I don't think Kelly Sullivan is awful.  Her material was and she's what? a decade younger than LW and VM who are supposed to also be significantly younger than Sonny.  It was just an odd casting choice.

Listen, with Ghost Connie I just think Megan Ward is tanking it because she pissed off she got fired for no reason in the first place.

Very. I always liked Megan Ward as an actress and to see her on a soap...I liked. She was definitely a different kind of woman for Sonny than I was used to. And different from Brenda who, along with Carly, will always reign supreme above all of Sonny's many women. The fact that the writers finally created a woman who stood out for those two was a marvel. And then it went to Hades.

I adored Megan Ward's Kate and her amazing haircut.  I am surprised she didn't ever end up on another soap.  It really was a refreshing change for Sonny and it felt like he considered her an equal.  I always wondered what MW did because it's clear they put her backstory onto Olivia and dropped Kate.  It still makes no sense there was a second teenage love for Sonny in Bensonhurst lol.

Yeah.  RH at least gets to come back.  They completely bypassed MW when Kate came back for KSu.  It's clear she was willing.  I have no evidence, but I feel like MW had to have made someone mad behind the scenes.

She was fabulous.  I don't even know what you are talking about lol.  The character of Kate in itself gave me a side eye due to everything we previously knew about Sonny, but I thought MB and MW had great chemistry.  Outside of Alexis, it felt like the first time Sonny had a mature romance where he wasn't lying or protecting chaos monsters like Carly and Brenda.  That isn't a shade on my two lovely ladies.  Kate (pre-Sullivan) just felt more stable as a partner for Sonny.

Not your calling Brenda a "chaos monster". Vanessa Marcil would be very hurt by your words. And hey, I thought Benard and Sullivan had good chemistry, despite the erratic writing.

And then there was the blink-and-miss Jax and Kate hookup.

        Uh oh, is this the Gilly storyline everyone seemed to hate? We'll see how I feel, but for now, I'm just glad Vivian and Gilly have screen time!  They've been sorely underused in 1995. I noticed in the end credits recently that the actress playing Vivian is on contract while her husband is recurring. I haven't warmed up to the Griffin character, as he's quite pushy and not overly endearing yet. I'm not quite sure if Wolf dons the Marian getup, I'll let you know, but I'm going to doubt it. They've all now realized Marian is a man, and Brent left his wigs/clothing at the house and he now has Lucy hostage in the lighthouse as Brent. I actually found an interview from 2023 that Frank Beaty did with this online Italian group who are big GL fans. I was quite shocked and happy to run across this! Frank seems to be a really nice man. The interview is a bit of a slog, because half of it is the co-host translating back and forth. But here are some pretty fascinating facts that Frank mentions: -He originally auditioned for the role of Matt Reardon, but didn't get it. The producers remembered his audition and offered him the role of Brent Lawrence later. How interesting! -He was offered a second year on the show, but declined. He wanted to find meaning in life, research his faith and start a new chapter in life. He said declining the second year was ultimately one of his biggest regrets. The storyline offered to him was Brent's rehabilitation in a facility that Amish Abigail was going to work in and help him with, and she and Brent were going to become friends... how interesting that could have been! -He was very close with Rick Hearst and Sonia Satra, almost like the three musketeers. -Makeup for Marian took 3 hours each time. Between the time commitment of that, the pressure of the show, and his personal life which was going through some really hard times, he said he had a nervous breakdown and couldn't continue functioning on set. He was very complimentary of Mark Wolf replacing him. -Frank is currently getting back into acting and is excited about his future (although 2 years later now, curious to see if anything came out of this). He's dating a woman in Paris, long-distance. Honestly wasn't sure if Frank was gay or not, but I guess this helps give insight there.

    • Well, I thought it was very exciting. The storm, the vehicles in trouble, at the hospital, that weird guy calling Jen, IzzyB very pregnant & also medically having problems & I thought they did a great job with the storm F/X. Even Alice helping at the hospital. Of course I always hated Tracy M. She just wasn't Carrie to me. 
    • I am glad Brook Lynn blurted out the truth to Tracy and we get to see her reaction.  I really hope the show doesn't forget about Ned in this story. Since he appears so rarely, he tends to be the afterthought in all this.  That was a pretty large secret Lois and Brook kept from him for no real reason.  I need him to be able to show his feelings about being in the dark this whole time.
    • Perhaps they could’ve borrowed some febreezr from Nicole.
    • Javi is played by such an attractive actor and he’s saddled with such a terribly written role.
    • Thy ran out of Tide and didnt have any clean clothes to wear
    •  I wanna know why Naomi wasn't there, this is her Aunt and Uncle, no  way she'd miss it
    • Vernon actually had a cravat not a turtleneck. I didn't like Nicole's dress with her breastes prominent.
