And then there's Amanda Setton's beliefs. It's great that she believes in modest dress and not playing love scenes, but it feels ridiculous for her to be a romantic soap lead, then. I had a lot of residual goodwill for her because of One Life to Live and Gossip Girl, but come in. She would be better off as a bitchy boss character in a Hallmark movie who steals the ideas of the plucky lead.

I really think they should have kept the temp Brooklyn.

I keep thinking Wagger should have been an AJ recast.

Hudson West is looking more and more like a teenaged Ryan Gosling to the point it's distracting. Lol

I personally like that this doesn't seem like a re-tread of the OG, so I'll give it a chance.

I'm hoping it turns out that Holly is lying because she's trying to protect the person she got the "ADD meds" from, preferably a bad boy with a heart of gold. They clearly aren't going that way with Tate so someone needs to be the bad boy with the heart of gold.

I honestly didn't think we were ever going to see Salem High again after they graduated the Ciara/Claire/Joey crowd. Please tell me this means we're getting more than 2 Salem teenagers. I would go with Holly getting the "ADD medication" from some sexy bad boy and her confronting him over it.

I wonder if they used archival sound to create the speech.

So he found his Tammy Sue replacement.

Word. I generally have liked the drug storyline for the most part. It's been awhile since it felt like this show had an umbrella storyline. And yeah, I kind of just went "Eww!" at Goldman and Clyde but at least dude is consistently revolting. LOL I'm betting this is leading to having Ben showing up.

I guess that means RSW will have to bust out the pomade and a black leather jacket.

He'll wear his bangs pushed up and call it a day.

When Stefan came back to life once given Jake's heart after being on the Ironman battery for years, he did show a scar. That has somehow healed up in time for him to do love scenes with Ava. If we go with Jackee's real age, she's just slightly under the limit at 67 years old. I think Abe and Paulina have been played as being about 65 years old. Paulina needs to be young enough to believably had a daughter who's only 25. Jackee would have been 43 years old in 1999, so it's somewhat believable. Not likely, but believable. Helluva lot more believable than Marlana's 2004 pregnancy. I was kind of surprised of Jackee's age, too. I did the math and realized she was only 38 during the first season of Sister, Sister and my mind kinda went, "Huh?"

Chandler and Original Chad did a "Chill" video and it was pretty hysterical. I'm telling you, this show should have had a bisexual Chad storyline. I get the vibe Billy Flynn would be down for that, especially when Zach Tinker was on as Sonny. I kept waiting for those two to kiss. LOL

It's also, at this point, the focal point of their lives. My mom is 77 and she's like that about General Hospital. I have to put on episodes for her if she misses the regular broadcast because she can't learn how to use a remote for streaming. She hated watching the Doug Horton tribute episode with me because it felt like Senior Citizen hour and she doesn't need to be reminded that she's elderly.

I guess I spoke too soon about Holly and Tate. Here's hoping they add in a bad boy with a heart of gold.

Steve Burton did a PG-13 spread back in the 90's for Playgirl. He went uber-religious shortly after this and it became rare to see him with his shirt off.

I just learned that EJ and Will were shipped and I find that hysterical. You know, the actor formerly known as James Scott had such insanely good charisma. God, I miss it. It's a shame The Whisper Within had to quit acting.

Supposedly there's a BeeGee's movie in the works to be directed by Ridley Scott. This article goes over casting, but I don't think it's legitimate because there's no way in hell a studio is going to hire Blake Jenner. Even though he actually does look like a young Barry Gibb. This one feels like a headscratcher to me, because this should have been done in the 90's or the 2000's when 1970's nostalgia was big. Then again, I could see the argument to do this now before the Baby Boomer generation begins to die off en masse as they start hitting their 70's and 80's. I can't see it being Austin Butler because I can't see him doing another music biopic, especially this soon. I just hope they don't fuck up the height difference thing because it's kind of important that Barry Gibb towers over all his brothers.

I wish the writers had allowed Tripp to keep the darker edge he had to him when he first thought he was avenging Ava and held a knife to Kayla. Lucas Adams was actually pretty good in that scene.

Yeah, if you did a SORAS for David you could use him as a foil to Tate/Holly. Maybe he runs away from his aunt and tries to find out what happened to Evan? Rafe takes him in.

That's David Ridgeway. Christian/Evan is his father. He was raised by Rafe for a few years but then got taken by Christian's sister to raise. His half-brother, who Jan tried to pass of as Shawn's, was taken by Jan who skipped town and "killed" Evan" when he tried taking the baby with him. The story with David is that Christian/Evan showed up as his manny but then started falling for Sonny. (I think Evan is the only canonically bisexual male character that this show has had.) So David really wouldn't have too many ties on this show, but he'd have an anchor with Rafe. I mean, it would be a pretty radical SORAS but 12 years is nothing for this show. LOL I think Tate was born about three years earlier on-screen. David was born off-screen around 2018.

I would say bring in Joy Wesley but they mentioned her being in grad school. Then again, it wouldn't be the first retcon. Maybe there could be a plot about an oddball genius girl who already has her PHd but decides to be a normal 17-year old girl and enroll in high school? She can be plainly gorgeous but hiding in glassss. Joy is the one of the few characters I can think of that would be pretty much clear for pairings due to Craig and Nancy not having any ties and Chloe only having one child. Is there anyone else like Joy?

Adriana would be free and clear for a possible pairing, right? I don't think she and Tate have any connections. No, wait, Nevermind, they're cousins. Wait, No, Brady and Sami are only step siblings so it could still work.

Johnny and Chanel- Reddi Whip I guess Kate has to push Wan Chai Ferry now?
