I thought the same, and it’s the main reason I started watching again. I don’t think I can take a triangle with Jason though. I despise his character so much and while I know in the end no woman will ever mean as much to him as Carly, it won’t be fun to watch for me.

It was dreadful but a fantastic vehicle to showcase an actors talent, which I think both young leads did. I don’t expect NAC to ever come back but then again I thought that about JJ when he left after Deep End of the Ocean brought in rave reviews. The real question is whether GH will still be on the air, which…Franks made it last longer than I expected. I am excited to have Lulu back and as much as I grew to hate Babe, Alexa is a very capable and charming actress. I hope they do a good job of reviving the Spencer clan on screen.

Just adding in here that JJ’s sister is also openly gay and the family remains very close. Whatever his family’s religious or political affiliations I do not ever see him having an issue with Lucky embracing an openly gay son. JJ has also done sex scenes in his career but GH as a whole doesn’t seem to do those much anymore.

Well damn. I never expected this to happen again, and against my better judgment I am excited. JJ’s Lucky will always be my favorite soap character and I will always be excited and hopeful that they’ll do him justice. Even if I should know better by now. I want them to actually address his being a deadbeat dad. Who also missed his father’s (and aunt’s) funeral. I wonder if Luke won’t stay dead now. I wish they’d bring Cam back to properly deal with Lucky’s absence. I know JJ and Becky will still have amazing chemistry but I’m not sure how they make a proper romance out of this. And I’m with @jsbt in wishing Mulcahey were writing it!

All of these women are so transparent and ridiculous, with their warring factions and trying to recruit soldiers. It’s a shame because I find every single one of them so entertaining but they’ve ruined the show. The only likable one is Delores and so it’s her storyline that I care about. It’s the only real one, the rest are made up reasons to fight. I think she wants marriage but is so happy to have a man who actually shares his life with her after David, that she’s willing to settle for too little.

The idea of LWB being someone FV genuinely thinks the audience would be cheering to see again is cracking me up. Because I could actually picture it! I don’t know who is left of Frank’s favorites. It feels like we have gone through the whole OLTL cast. If it is a Lucky recast I hope it’s good. I know it won’t be JJ at this point.

Poor Delores. Why wouldn’t she expect Paulie to propose as soon as his divorce is done? He’s been separated from his wife for over a decade! It’s not like he needs time to process the emotions. He got big mad and I didn’t like it. The only thing I could think during that last scene is that these are four of the strangest looking people on the planet. Every one of them is outrageously bizarre looking.

Hmm I still 100 percent see Lucky’s side in everything he did and said during the rape reveal/revisit, just as I did when I was a 15 year old first watching it. His anger and hurt mixed into a volatile cocktail and he expressed them in the exact ways Luke and Laura had taught him to. And man was JJ a powerhouse teen actor.

I really thought JJ would never come back so when it was announced I was so excited and they truly did muck it up and a good part of that was him coming back in the middle of a story built around another actor. Much as I enjoyed NAC, he’s no JJ to me and I think they can find a good young actor to fill his shoes eventually. But the younger scene needs more men in general. Bring on a Cam recast too. I know the cast is bloated but it’s certainly not with people in that age range. As for his unfollowing people on insta, I have to say I have such a soft spot for when actors seem to truly want to stay in touch. Tom Pelphry still follows and interacts with his GL costars (including LW) and it makes me smile. But since he follows so few people it’s probably some social media manager who has curated his account. Ah well. I hope Teschner can work his magic again.

The fact that the only Spencers currently on the show are Carly and her kids is criminal. So long overdue for Lucky to return.

I have to admit I’m kind of surprised they’re actually going to go for it after all these years. I had assumed the almost Carly/Jason scenes before Sonny also came back from the dead were only thrown in because they knew Steve was on his way out. But I think they’re really gonna try it this time. And like a really bad car wreck I won’t be able to look away. Silver lining will be watching Drew get cast aside like yesterday’s trash. The potential he had that first week he was on, that disappeared as soon as his beard did. He’s become Ryan Lavery at his most sanctimonious.

I suspect a lot of us have been fans of RA’s Taggart for decades. There’s so much history there and viewer affection. I want him on my screen (and frankly never heard a bad word about the actor). But the characters absence is really insulting. Trina would want the man who raised and loved her to be there to comfort her now. I hated the Curtis being her bio dad storyline to begin with but for them to have her now act like Taggart doesn’t exist is terrible.

Undoubtedly true but so wild that this show thinks Jason should maintain that status as he nears 50. I despise Jason and always have, so the only thing that could have made that character palatable to me was a return to Jason Q which Steve refused to do (and they let him make such demands). But even if I liked Jason or saw leading man potential in him, he’s not competing with 25 year olds. Or shouldn’t be anyway.

Mulcahey is excellent at that exact type of character. He was at GL when one of my favorites, Bridget Reardon, was introduced. Rumor at the time was he left when the show wouldn’t pair her with David Grant. I was planning to stay on the Barge since hearing SBu is returning but Mulcahey as head writer might be enough to watch again. The Carly’s have a stronghold on this show but even if everyone else’s stories become better, that might be enough. I can’t believe GH managed to lure him back.

Remember that brief period of time when Dex was first on the scene and his hatred for Sonny was so intense that we all figured there was a personal history there and some wondered if he could have been AJ’s long lost son? It would have been terrible in execution because the actor isn’t good enough but more importantly on this show Sonny always wins. But man if they could bring on a show runner who didn’t always force the Carly’s to win, I would love to see it. Drew is the absolute worst it almost makes me look forward to him getting
