ComeWhatMay

In one of his interviews, Evan talked about when Frank told him he was being killed off. Evan was someone who clearly wanted to be there and it showed, but they wrote the character unlikable from the start (per their norm) and looked for him to fill voids left by two very popular folks that he simply didn’t have the chops for and saddled him with a pairing where there was no substance to it. Some of the PR we are seeing could’ve been GH too because he was an ambassador for the show and is exiting in a way that they like so they might’ve wanted to help him a bit. Petty and spiteful people make their points in ways one might not expect in my experience. Chad clearly was unhappy for a long while and people he worked with openly discussed it. Because of his tenure, the show may have given him the courtesy of saying it was his decision, even if it wasn’t, but I really do believe that this was his choice as he says it was. His father‘s death may have led to him really evaluating things and deciding to make some changes. That blind could be about someone from a different soap or Enty and co. just playing games.

I agree. And the best thing she could do for herself and her fans, is to just move on without bitterness. She had a great run, years of favored status, and for fans, especially Jasam fans, there is a child on canvas and in story. As fans of GH couples (especially of late) go, the Jasam fans made out well. CM’s Drew should be an imposter.

As you just explained, it’s a see-through claim… I better keep the rest of what I would like to say on the backward management of this show to myself.

I truly believe it would transform the show for the better and give it new life to retire Sonny. I suspect Maurice has cost the show a lot over the years in ways we don’t know too. As for Chad, I hope he finds lasting fulfillment elsewhere.

TA truly didn’t deserve it. And I think she deserves the same chance NAC got when SM left and Sprina went next level with her. I am sorry the show might not give her that chance, especially given how NAC has distanced himself from her and the pairing very deliberately since exiting the show, apart from that rather odd “pass the baton” friending/posing with Gio on Instagram. I don’t think Gio was set up for success by anybody and I hope they can salvage it for him. Honestly the whole business leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Recasting Spencer after running out TA’s deal would be nasty work, imo. I wish all the success in the world to Tabyana. And we’ll see what happens with Jens/Kai. And congratulations to NAC on all his success.

That’s the thing I wonder. Does she have more? She needs to in order to get anywhere.

Carmina Monaco, mother of Kelly Monaco, thanked fans tonight… Good Luck to Kelly.

Chavez has signed with CAA. Good for him. I felt he needed new management and media training before honestly, but even more so after seeing Cooper Koch’s deft handling of the controversy around Monsters.

Hopped on X while the system at work was down, saw Jason and Anna kiss and I feel attacked. Just nasty. Korte was never the talent in those '90s writers rooms, that's for sure. And I am not so naive as to think she's the only problem in the situation or even the biggest one with Frank and whoever he reports to beyond Nathan right there. They are doing everything but admit to themselves MB and SB are not where it's at anymore.

The reason I read, I think from a podcaster, is that it is due to block taping and when the scenes were filmed. Other things have been intimated on Twitter/X by ostensibly connected fans such as Kelly already being gone, but as with anything online that is unverified and unsourced with competing versions, I take it with a grain. The show should try to make exits clean for everyone’s benefit. This doesn’t look good on anyone, the actors get caught in it, and it causes drama among fans.

Yes. Get the trophy and go. ;-) Hopefully.

I loved RH as Alan-Michael on Guiding Light. He's aged like fine wine.

A fan on Twitter/X posted a nice photo of Will and Nick and I could not help but think of JJ and Tyler and their ‘90s departures. The trades have been very complimentary of both the young Monsters leads. FWIW, there seem to be a lot of versions out there of how exactly things ended with Nick. My takeaway is the show should do better in general about exits. Not to be a Pollyanna about it, but to my mind Nick got from his time at GH what I think most young people come there looking for… Nick also cultivated a very loyal following through his Patreon/monthly Zooms, Discord, and social media activity around Sprina. The billboard in Times Square, plane over the studio, and People cover had to be cool. He also called Frank a "friend and mentor" in his parting note. Hopefully, he feels okay about things from his side and there is no ill feeling.

While to me Kelly is a former show and network pet who well outlasted her protection, she was a long term employee and beloved by a lot of viewers. I am sorry for her and her fans.

Mumbling, cue card MB as “The Dapper Don?!” And Gotti’s daughter wanted him for it?! Glad I never saw that… I think the set would be a much healthier place for others without him on it.
