Every time I see Jacinda, I think to myself that the main reason she's on is to save money on budget. Why introduce a real character played by a real actress when they can cheaply fill time with her.

I'm all for giving newbies a shot, but I don't think the Jacinda actress is it. She doesn't have enough charisma. They need to go back to the casting office..

You hit the nail on the head about the actress's lack of charisma.

The show didn't need a big name for Michael's love interest.  Everyone starts somewhere.  The arc ended for Jacinda and there was no reason to bring her back.  There is nothing special about this actress at all.  Nothing from her looks, to her acting, to her chemistry with Rory stand out.  She's not even comically bad.  She's just there. 

All GH had to do was cast a wider net for actresses in their late 20's to early 30's and let Mark Teschner do his job.  

Paige Herschell can't be the only actress in Hollywood that works for cheap lol.   Or, you know, GH could dump a few recurring players and shell out some money for their younger leading man's love interest as well lol. 

Well...I think I can see why you all feel let down by this arc over the house now.

They haven’t given Drew a SINGLE redeeming quality. He doesn’t even show that he loves his daughter, she’s literally his pawn.

And the same thing is that at first he had Scout as his redeeming quality. So the fact he uses her as nothing, but a pawn since the affair came out is just smh.

You know how I feel about that actress so you speak that truth.

 

Michael deserves better.

It's only a matter of time before Frank (and the writers, but mostly Frank) decides to excuse Drew's behavior away with a brain tumor or something.

I believe that. I'll be throwing something at the TV if when they do.

 

Like Willow, this has been the best Drew has ever been. All he needs is a redeeming quality really.

Dare I say it, I’m excited for Ric and Sonny scenes today.

Imagine striking gold with the Rory Gibson as Michael casting and then pairing him with this Jacinda girl.

She belongs on some Nick at Nite sitcom in the role of a friend who gets two lines per episode.

I'm glad they're revisiting the Ric thing today, because I've been confused as to why there was no follow-up from Ava/Alexis kidnapping/drugging him for that long.

It would stand out for me more if there were other romances burning up GH, but it's a show-wide problem. 

I think they will eventually put him back with Willow anyway.

Honestly, I'm surprised they've gone on as long as they have with "dark Drew."

@carolineg Daily appearances continue. 🤣

Ohh, I didn't realize Sonny and Rick are half-brothers, interesting!

So Britt really plans to make Rocco her real son huh, that's also interesting. Lulu will have a fight ahead of her.

Nope

She knows they aren't bio related but Britt feels connected because she birthed Rocco

But wasn't that weird today how she called him her son, and then had to clarify... just left me feeling like she wants more from him...

I think the kid playing Rocco is really good. His facial expressions and mannerisms are good and timely, if that makes sense.  Better than the kid playing Danny.

She considers him a son because she birthed him and raised him forb8 months but she knows Lulu and Dante are Roccos true parents

Finn has been great as Rocco
