Idk, Chase might be too shocked when he sees Willow wearing a tank top or something.

He'd probably react the same way any 13-year-old heterosexual lad would. Right up to and including the car wash fantasies.

Don't you give Frank any ideas!!!

Trust me, the man is too squicked out about S-E-X to get any ideas. His idea of foreplay is the spaghetti scene from "Lady and the Tramp."

Or silly versions of 'everything but the kitchen sink.' But...WACKA WACKA!!!

They could recreate those birthday party scenes with Bobby, Shelley, and Leo from Twin Peaks.

So long as the party hats are involved.

I dunno, Frank's OLTL and earlier GH with Ron both got pretty hot and heavy at times. Including when he first took over at OLTL and Troy and Lindsay got down and dirty from behind on Malone II's first week. A sequence that will live in infamy! OLTL did not lack for sex and illicit behavior in his era. He even encouraged Thom Christopher and David Fumero to improv their highly homoerotic prison scenes.

I think FV is a chameleon who responds to the times, but whose own personal tastes have ossified in some ways. I think he takes a lot of himself out of the equation on certain elements (and not others, ergo his playing favorites) and he is determined to make the show survive above all. And I think he has decided that the GH that has survived into the Trump, etc. era is now an often chaste, heterocentric and 'safe' one catering to his perception of senior Facebook viewers. (That's how you get the EP who once championed a frontburner interracial love triangle with Renee Elise Goldsberry running and hiding from Spencer and Trina 20 years later.) Hence the years we've spent with these WASP couples pumping out babies ever since roughly 2016, the year before which he avoided the axe by letting Carlivati walk the plank. For better or worse, GH's libido went with RC. But that was also when the country began to really change (or show its old/new face).

Petty Frank is going to Petty Frank.

But I will give him this much...all this talk of romance and sex scenes...at least Gio and Emma's scene was tastefully and descriptively done. They even had afterglow scenes which I respect. Outside of Drew and Nina and the hate sex...how long has it been since we had an extended love scene that wasn't interrupted by quick cuts?

Minor quibble but Nikolai Cassadine being born in 1852 would mean that he was in his 90s when Victor and Tony were born and in his 60s when Mikkos was born, which does not seem very likely for a family obsessed with heirs and spares. Would have been more plausible if they'd said he was born anywhere from about 1880 - 1900.

Alexis also said that Nikolai was the tie between Danny and Charlotte omitting any mention of who Nikolai would've had children with, which makes me wonder if they're trying to further minimize their relation by making Mikkos and Victor the product of different mothers. That would at least explain the seemingly large age gap between Mikkos and his younger brothers if it was like a Bing Crosby type situation.

Was what Alexis said even accurate? I wasn't sure, but I didn't deep dive it or anything.

The show should just de-Cassadine test tube girl. It will never happen, but it would solve the problem. Or you could also age Georgie or something instead lol. GH is in a strange situation where most of the kids in this era are boys.

They can't. It would remove Valentin's connection to the core canvas, which is her whole reason for existence on Frank's GH.

Rebel Danny with wallflower Georgie is exactly what they should be doing. And meek Rocco with a wild new girl. Mix and match then they end up with those endgame pairings. Simple as.

Or use Jake, but we know that ain't happening.

Oh, I am well aware of how connected Valentin needs to be lol. That's why I know it's an impossible dream.

Hopefully they will age or recast Georgie. IIRC, the girl that plays her is the right age currently, but I can't even remember what she looks like because we see her so rarely.

Anyhow, they do need someone fresh that isn't related to everyone ala teen Brenda.

One introduced gradually. But this reminds me of what I said in another thread. where are the young vixens at?

I think we all know Valentin is useless lol.

I don't know why shows don't have teen vixens anymore. It feels like a show will start off with someone edgy or vixen-y and then reverse course almost immediately. Women are either good or psychotic like Esme or Sophia on Days. Brenda was the villain in her triangle, but she was just doing mostly low stakes schemes. It seems to be all or nothing now with the newer generation of teens being brought on.

Chase is cute. Doesn't excite me at all. I think I would pick Nathan over him. They are basically interchangeable unless Nathan is the big bad and ugh..

I'd take Dante over both every day and I am tall 😄 At least Dante is interesting.

But but but but but that wrestling-like fight between Chase and Michael was HOT 🥵🔥but way too short....
