In fact, BH's oldest son in real life is almost a teenager himself now!* Granted, Becky was relatively young when she married and started having children, but still. *Becky's oldest son, Ethan, was born on Halloween 2001, which means he'll be 13 this year. That pregnancy was hidden on the show, as Liz was barely out of high school and still working at Kelly's. If she had him Halloween 2001, he'd already be 13, turning 14 this year.

Pete Martell April 7, 2015 Share April 7, 2015 I don't know if this really qualifies as "unpopular," but it's definitely not Current Episodes, so I'm putting it here. I am sick to death of the extra excuses and head-patting RH gets when his performances are crap. The fact that he did well playing a (well-written) character (with extra-ordinarily talented co-stars) twenty years ago has nothing to do with this show or this character or this performance. I don't understand all the excuses. "Well, he was Todd..." Yes, he was. A really long time ago, on another show, with other co-stars and other writers. He's an actor for God's sake. He should be able to do more than "be Todd." Now he's Franco, on GH, and he's turning in crappy performances. He didn't exactly set the world on fire on ATWT (or as Todd on OLTL after the late 90s) either. If he were any other actor, he'd be evaluated on his merits here in this role today. But instead he gets special dispensation from the soap press and everyone else who wants to pretend he's still "great." I can't take it anymore. *deep breaths* Ok, I feel better. He's been getting excuses for godawful performances for 20 years now. If Franco weren't such a completely pointless, unbearable character, he'd probably be getting a lot more. I never thought he'd play a role that makes his Paul Ryan seem like a daytime icon, but he's done it. 8 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2834-unpopular-opinions-i-hate-blts-from-kellys/page/20/#findComment-1009032

I don't give a crap if Liz has a teen kid. But - as sad as it is since it is 2015 - once one has teen or adult long-lost kids on soaps, the parents slowly become irrelevant. See: Bobbie with Carly, Alexis (for a long time before Julian showed up and after Ric) and Sam, and even though Carly is still present, she only seems to exist to hold Sonny's hand and growl at those she dislikes ever since Michael and Morgan were SORAS'ed.
