Awww a Lizzie mention.

I really enjoyed the renaissance that Alexis and NLG had a few years back. And it's just sad to see her on the sidelines really...waiting for her to (hopefully) raise again.

It took a minute for her to get out of the Valentini dog house. If I have the timeline correct, right around the time there was the dust up between NLG and Maurice/Ingo, Alexis ended up going to jail and was barely used. And NLG outright said she was being punished by her boss on twitter. And Jonathan Frakes even commented something along the lines of how hilarious it was for her to post that.

I am still waiting for Kelly Monaco’s burning the bridges tell her story thing that never materialized.

The problem with Scout is she's not Wiley level bad or anything, but she's unmemorable. I feel like GH likes to give their more "precocious" kids bigger story.

Agreed. Also if you do this type of thing then every character that has the potential to be the shooter should be seen and established consistently before and during the story, especially if it’s going to be the kid!

I forgot about the Mo/Ingo vs. NLG episode. It was handled so poorly. I think NLG did manage to say she and MB talked it out or something.

I have never had use for Kelly or Sam, but I really need to hear why she got dumped so unceremoniously. I'd buy that book or listen to the podcast!

At least with Days Rachel had been showing signs of mental instability and was always a little demon seed. Scout just seems like a normal little girl and there hasn't been a single indication she's trouble. Although, yesterday her immediately telling Willow that Danny was at Alexis's did give me a pause.

My bet is it's not happening because Kelly wants to come back to a steady paycheck, and is hoping Frank will forget. Which tbqh she has a decent shot at under the current circumstances with Jason.

If Kelly comes back:

1) I don't want it to be as Sam.

2) I want her to play a nun. A nun with edge! But a nun.

(Yes, I'm kidding!!)

If I didn't know Frank held such a grudge, I would even contemplate back from the dead Sam being Drew's shooter. Seriously.

To be clear I don't want Sam back at all, other than maybe a ghost on occasion. I'd even allow some kooky Eurotrash doppelgänger Kelly could play for a few months in a short arc (claim it's a distant Cassadine cousin!). But it just would not at all surprise me if Monaco realized she doesn't like not cashing the checks and is trying to curry favor again lol. And I can see FV being pressed enough to go there if 2026 doesn't go as swimmingly for Jason and Britt as they hope. Revolving Kellys! My worst nightmare tbh.

Is MB a trumper?

Today was a great episode. I'm really enjoying the couples they're establishing, particularly Gio/Emma and Cody/Molly. I felt so bad for Cody and then loved his idea to go to Molly while she's working. That dog is so dang cute too.

I also like the budding Nathan/Lulu thing going on - today was a next step towards a coupling, it seems.

Curtis and Jordan were pretty hot today too!

What a great romance-driven NYE episode - loved it!

Did that weird dancing doppelganger of Sam's die?

Honestly, if Frank really want to [!@#$%^&*] us Livvie Locke could come back.

I'm not averse to that for a guest appearance, since my stance would be that Livvie/PC existed and she has a kid out there lol.

I don't believe the DWTS doppleganger did. I am surprised Ron and the recent regimes never brought her back tbh. I would probably create someone else if I wanted Kelly Monaco to appear. But I don't!

It's hilariously you and I are the two posters contemplating the ways we can bring Kelly Monaco back ☹️ Who would have thought?

I honesty do not know. Probably not? But he was being called to film while doing some social media thing and was talking with Ingo, said he was shooting with NLG, and kind of rolled his eyes or made a gesture like she was the problem and not Ingo, or like working with her was annoying. It didn’t go over well with people that saw it including his own fans. Nancy also made comments about it before it was resolved with Mo.

None of it went over well with Frank because he likes a tight ship with no public leaks about bts stuff. He really dislikes people that speak out about pretty much a lot of things. Tristan Rogers also alluded to being punished by not being used for complaining a few years ago, and he has routinely sent Kin Shriner packing. One of the more savvy things Genie Francis has done was when he fired her she let the public do the work for her, which was sustained long enough that ABC/Frank rehired her with a story. When Kelly Monaco was fired her fans tried to do a similar thing, except they didn’t have the stamina or the numbers to push ABC to change course. Fire Frank and the Genie stuff lasted the entire time she was gone, and the save Sam stuff just lasted a couple of weeks in large enough numbers to be noticed.

Hope not because I like him
