Hopefully the role is short-term as part of the Alias Joss saga. That's how it sounds to me, but you never know with Uncle Frank collecting soap stars like Yu-Gi-Oh cards. You know DG is trying to avoid some Tubi Original Beastmaster movies or something. Killed off 25 mins into Beastmaster: Generations before his hunky son's horrified eyes! (I just made this up. AFAIK.)

I had expected Frank to foolishly hold the role open because Uncle Frank hates letting too many people go. I do think that given the play he got Chad maybe signaled he's not interested, and Frank did a 180. Chad was very good (and IMO underrated) in his early years at the show but was also frankly squandered. He's been over it onscreen for most of the last decade, and it's long since time for a change.

Per online chatter, it appears GH is officially recasting Michael.

Beginning with me! Yet I am so glad that cringe mess is back, even if I hate what it's been reduced to (not that it didn't always have an element of cringe).

That's part of the charm!

Llanview's own Eddie Alderson (Matthew), now an Amtrak transit cop, saves lives. KDP has commented on social media re: the story.

Is Billy Joel really blaming Brennan for his drugging Sonny? The way I remember it from Patrick Mulcahey's own daily script, it was Valentin who briefed Brennan on that plan. Anything to keep Michael Feinstein employed, I guess. They should both fall into a paper shredder.

Today on GH: "Blair Cramer is a lovely woman with terrible taste in men!" - Tracy Quartermaine

Dead Oscar is honestly the worst actor I have ever seen on GH, followed closely by the current Jordan. In other news: Infamous soap scribe Megan McTavish discusses her GH 2001-2 run briefly in her utterly unhinged unpublished memoir that's just leaked, and calls Tony Geary's original "Endgame" story pitch that went unused terrible (in her opinion) and claims it largely consisted of Luke descending into an underground labyrinth and fucking the bad guys' various female cohorts. Given the fact that Megan's memoir roasts virtually everyone she has ever met or spoken to except Brian Frons (and has a forward/dedication page ending with 'you can all go to hell'), I take many of her opinions and claims with a grain of salt. She does admit her final Endgame story was not great.

The infamous/legendary Megan McTavish's unpublished memoir has leaked online, and it is about exactly what you might expect. She has smoke for virtually everyone except Brian Frons. Her comments re: working with Jill Farren Phelps at OLTL are hysterical though:

Another dude for Joss to fuck and watch die in under 18 months!

It seems like they are actively trying to sell us on BLQ and Chase being a sexy 'love in the afternoon' couple. There were copious scenes a month or two ago talking about how much sex they were having and then you cut to them alone together and it's like the auditions for Agnes of God. Like, they think if they keep talking about how hot and heavy these two are it will make up for the evidence of our lying eyes. It's bizarre.

If Lucky was dying I promise you it would've leaked long ago. He's fine. She's far more interesting than half the show. I have zero issue with her being the antithesis of her mother.

Charlie Besso is a better visual choice but again, I am a bit amazed he took this tiny part and doubt he will be with a soap for long. I do think Cassidy isn't bad but the SORAS is still jarring.

Styling Aiden as an Oompa Loompa from 1994 today was a bold choice. I've said it before, but I'm mildly stunned they got lil' Charlie Besso, a reasonably famous influencer/boyfriend to the stars, to play Tobias a.k.a. Aiden's George Glass. For all of his two lines. He's a little too big for this show. But I still don't particularly care about these two, because the Aiden situation still feels so strange to me re: its treatment on the show. Guy Wilson has clearly had a rough few years and looks like he just escaped the Indigo Girls, and it was terrible of them to let a sub play these LNL2 scenes. It's also unfortunately a common practice for GH in recent years with key scenes going to temp subs (Michael, Sam, Alexis, etc). But I'll always think poor Guy is underrated because of those intensely horny love scenes with Christopher Sean on DAYS where he didn't giggle and smirk his way through them like Certain Parties.

Legit thought singer/influencer + supertwink Charlie Besso was a tad too big to play Imaginary Tobias, lol. Nice to see him, I guess? I'd be amazed if they held onto him for long.

It's a bizarro week - Tuesday's episode leaked in Canada, lol. Due to an unexpected absence (likely bc of the LA fires), Jonathan Jackson is being temp recast on Tuesday with yes, Guy Wilson (one of the Will Hortons on DAYS). Amazingly, GH decided to keep the script unchanged: Also appearing:

Ironically, he appears to be playing a Sonny-esque character - a shady casino owner.

Jon Lindstrom (Kevin) and ex Cady McClain (Dixie, AMC) are going to Michele Val Jean's Beyond the Gates on CBS. No word yet on whether JL is doing the Wally Kurth two-step where he will recur on two soaps at the same time, or if these are contract roles. I personally find Kevin and Laura to be a very boring pairing of two great characters, but I will miss Kevin if he goes. Happy for the actors though.

It is extremely hard to make any character stupider than the average veteran on Bold and the Beautiful.

Must we all be on a first name basis with this latest non-threatening cardboard villain? Can't we keep it to either "Sidwell," "Egghead," "Cueball," "Chromedome," "Baldo," "Matt Lauer" or (my personal favorite, a riff on Lost in Space) "Bald-Headed Booby?"

I’m gonna start a gofundme to have Brad beaten to death by circus clowns. I feel like the fate speaks to the character. Giovanni Mazza is not a well-known musician, though. He's a cute kid and is growing on me as an actor with real spark (and a hard body), but it's definitely true that he's one of many casualties of yet another very lazy, stupid GH staple story - a secret kid tied to too many people which ages up too many viable characters. This and loooong needless pregnancies (like Sasha's) are all GH really does to pass the time, other than lame cardboard villains like rickety old Cyrus wheezing his last and poker fetishist Sidwell. So yes, they absolutely are creatively bankrupt. Frank, CVE and Korte have been telling these 3 stories and little else for years. Because Patrick Mulcahey came close to firing her, and evidently Frank will never allow that to happen unless Sofia Mattsson asks for an extra hundo in her next contract renewal.

The return of the leaked blooper reels: The Robin/Roscoe Born clip at the beginning is particularly interesting as Robin has been very candid that they did not get along though she appreciated his talent.
