It hurts my heart to picture poor, awesome Tatiana Maslany forced to be on this shit show.

At least Alexis can be thankful that she isn't fat.

I agree, but I do kind of like the mental image of Lawson and DZ together as wee cop partners.

Can @ulkis be banned for reminding me of that fresh hell?! Good god, NOT THE WAY I WANTED TO START MY FRIDAY. ;)

Helena (during a commercial break)?

True. But, to be fair, root canals and colonoscopies >>>> Franco. Hope you had a great birthday!

Well, for the viewers, yes...

As much as I detest her, there's something oddly comforting about Cujo getting her fangs back. She had seemed so OOC and Ma Walton-ish for far too long.

I really think we need a special edition @peachmangosteen T-shirt.

Singlehandedly keeps barware and shoe polish manufacturers in business?

That he would make like a tree and leave? I'll show myself out.

Aw, look, it's one of Ron's loving "AJ is the size of the Goodyear blimp" chestnuts. AJ: You want to see me? Here at the office. The gym. MICHAEL: You never go to the gym. AJ: Shut up! Man, I don't know how they captured these scenes without a wide-angle lens! SK probably exited the show because it was too expensive for Frank to pay to widen all the set door frames.

He's already done it once -- come on, dude, I'm begging you, second time's the charm!

And its fetch as well. </gretchenweiners> I cry uncle. I'm starting a GoFundMe to pay Frank to make this shit stop.

Griffin is both a priest and a doctor (and hey, even a sometime stripper!). Claudette is undoubtedly both a graphic designer and a lab tech or something.

Come on, you know the last scene of this 53+ year old television institution will be Franco standing by the big General Hospital sign with pictures of Steve Hardy and Jessie Brewer behind him, and he will turn around, shut off the lights and exit (probably turning one last cartwheel on his way out). End scene forever. But the return of Chandy to soaps to kill Franco would be one hell of an amazing ending. (Hopefully Prospect Park wouldn't prevent his appearance, LOL.)

Richard Burgi probably begged to be let out of his contract so he could return to far less embarrassing prime time gigs.

The show is so broke that I honestly wouldn't be surprised if it simply has to do with whatever set happens to be already scheduled to be out and up at that time.

Yep, Jake is always onscreen merely to serve as a tool to bond Liz with her SERIAL KILLER in shining armor. Gag.

Interesting catch! I wonder. But then again, they never did anything with the fact that Cooper's last name was Barrett. ETA: Scott's only son -- I saw what you did there! Hehe.

If Nelle is Carly's daughter -- I would normally never, EVER wish such a horrid thing upon any character, but she needs to sleep with Sonny for sheer karmic purposes.

Nelle is Chloe Lanier's new character. She may indeed be the kidney donor, but she's not the same girl who was trying to scam Carly last week (or whenever that was).

The two "core characters" she is connected to will probably be Franco and Heather, with my luck.

It honestly wouldn't surprise me if Jelly have already forgotten about them being divorced.

SID is now reporting that Chloe Lanier (the actress who played young Patricia in the anniversary episodes) is coming on in a new, as-yet-undisclosed contract role. I thought she was terrific in her earlier appearances and she would make a fine addition, but seriously, how the hell is Frank affording all these people?
