I think by 2003, PC was shot 6 months in advance and they were committed to a total separation between it and GH. Shows how much had changed at ABC with the coming of Fons in 2002. He just didn't care. When PC ended, nothing was brought over to GH. Some of the stuff PC introduced in its early years with the doctors and hospital might have been valuable to bring over to GH, but again they didn't care and PC was forgotten.

But again, Lynn has such a rich history with the show. I don't understand why they don't try to build on it by giving her a family or something. Seems like a really wasted opportunity.

Brian Frons was bad news all around for ABC Daytime. If we could turn back the clock…

Haven't we already been through enough with Joss playing Sydney Bristow in the WSB???

I loved Alias.

So now Willow is setting up Nina to make it look like she’s been drugging Drew all along. Juicy!!

This "Danny wants to be in the mob" stuff is SO bad

It really is. Stone at least had a believable performance as a former street kid who was a hustler but not an enforcer. And Jason spent years believably (for a soap) turning into Stone Cold and could pull it off. Danny comes across too sweet natured to play this believably.

Asher is still very green. He has charisma and can continue to grow so I wouldn't dump him but yeah, he can't handle this and it's a laughable story on its face; he's just a well-cared for baby. Danny definitely should be a spoiled rebel acting out, but presenting the idea of him going into the mob as a real plot point is silly. Even angelic Chad had more darkness seething in his very early days than Danny, in order to make that potential turn for Michael plausible after prison.

(Hudson West has proven both on the show and in his other work that could handle traumatized undead Jake getting into real trouble, but I digress.)

Yep. I don't mind the actor at all, but he just reads too young. It's like a boy wanting to play army.

It also lampshades one of the show’s inherent structural flaws, which is that “the mob,” in the sense that we’re given to understand Sonny’s criminal operation, hasn’t really been a thing in the Eastern US since the 1990s.

Very much so. But still a good throughline with the character wanting to take after his father.

On of the things about Spinelli that made sense was the organization being involved in digital crimes. And they slowly moved that away too. At least that was modern.

The question remains- what does Sonny do? Money laundering, we know from Pikeman he also runs guns, and those piers probably involved some extortion.

I don't mind the Danny actor and wouldn't necessarily ditch him just yet. I am not sure why everyone is in panic mode about him joining the mob. Tell him no? Alexis is acting like Danny has all these resources to make this mob move happen when he doesn't. Anyhow, I hope they wrap this plot up quickly.

Speaking of plots I hope they wrap up quickly, let's wrap this Jordan crash thing up. I am sure BLQ will not be the cause in the end and honestly at this point she's probably in the clear. The months of hand wringing and flashbacks we are going to endure are already bringing me dread.

Well, I definitely have enjoyed the gradual acceptance of the actor in the role among everyone. In an age of constant recast, it is still nice to see an actor/actress grow into a role.

I decided long ago that Sonny runs counterfeit luxury items like purses because he doesn't run guns, drugs, and isn't involved in sex trafficking. That's all been stated. I can't think of anything else that would be profitable lol. I am sure that's not the correct answer, but I don't really know if they ever mention anything but "shipments" when they talk about the business.

Sonny's got a stranglehold on the counterfeit jeans market. GH and The Simpsons are corporate half-siblings, so it works.

I love imagining Sonny and Jason’s hidden warehouse is full of knock off Birkins!
