I happen to agree with KM that she had more chemistry with Miller and should've stayed with Drew, but that's a story preference. Kelly tanking her storyline at the time, publicly making a fuss BTS, etc. and having the show penalize her for that behavior is a story in daytime that's as old as the hills with many actors who get in trouble with the brass over the years at various soaps, and it's not going to get FV fired. Only a much bigger scandal or widespread outcry among the cast and crew (or ratings issues) will do that.

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

Well GH is hemorrhaging viewers and has been at an all time low for over 6 months but Frank is still there. So I don’t even think that’s enough.

So Ron Hale OG Mike Corbin has passed

 

Billy Warlock on X: "It’s with a heavy heart that we’ve lost another great one. My dear friend Ron Hale has passed away. Ron was an amazing talent and an even better friend. I will miss you." / X

Ron Hale was such a fascinating presence onscreen, especially at GH as a kind of man of mystery and regrets. The recast was never the same to me.

Not to mention, it's been how many years since BM was let go from GH? She's carried on with being obviously bored with her character/writing/storylines for years since then without being fired until now. It's pretty hard for me to not have some rather cynical thoughts about the way she's handling all of this now.

I don't find KeMo a high-energy performer to begin with. We've joked that it can be hard to tell if she's awake, but there's truth to that joke. Her level of engagement doesn't feel too high even when it seems she's enjoying herself.

I just did the math and realized that he was only about 29 or 30 when he started on Ryan's Hope! I guess his mustache and sense of gravitas (and my own young age) made me think he was older. I always loved the twinkle in his eye.

Hey, Bold and the Beautiful actually had someone date their adoptive uncle.

I'll never forget Bridget developing feelings for Ridge about five minutes after finding out they weren't biologically sister and brother.

GH isn't Days of Our Lives either...🤣

If anyone here was watching Days when Chelsea, Stephanie and Max were around they'll get what I mean. Max was interested in two of his adoptive nieces. The three of them didn't grow up around each other. Not that it made things any better.

Ah, one of Lucas first storylines on this show was a love triangle involving him and his adopted cousins Maxie and Georgie. Whatever the girls feel towards their biodad Frisco, his brother Tony was their uncle through and through, especially after he and Bobbie allowed Maxie to have BJ's heart, and Lucas was raised by Tony and Bobbie since he was a baby. That storyline was so weird, I was relieved he came out as gay; chalk up his inapprioate feels towards his cousins was him unable to come to terms with being gay as a teen.

Is it Janz or Jenz? Jeebus Cripes. And no, Geary is not "X-Luke" as if Luke had been recast with someone else after Geary left! But oh my THIS:

My closed captioning has always said Jenz. I think it was just a typo by the magazine.

Consider this promo photo from May.  Is there any way Curtis, Carly and Sonny are similar in height?  (Unusual mix of cast members.)

Ugh, it makes me sick to see Jason front and center. Even Laura is behind him.

Still, I take comfort that Sonny and Carly aren't front and center.

Why? I don't even remember why he went to jail.

I guess we're beefing up Heather's side o the family for when she inevitably leaves Pentonville. I'm already hating this.

I hear it's only for a few episodes so my guess is I don't think it's for that tbh.

I'm reusing my own old material here, but it's relevant. A few years ago, during an especially fallow storyline period, I was keeping up with the show online and getting through it more quickly by setting the video to play at 1.5x speed. This would make everyone else, but especially fast talkers like Carolyn Hennessy and Kirsten Storms, sound as if their characters were excessively caffeinated or worse. But it would make Kelly Monaco sound as if she were fully awake and talking at an average rate of speed.

I’m so disappointed and angry too. There was a gold mine of opportunities to be mined with an excellent actor.
The show is acting as if Taggert wasn’t Trina’s father for 20 years! Shame on them!!

I wish Real well with his new role and hope it turns out to be everything he wants it to be.

I wonder if he's going to be in some superhero movie, what with having to sign a NDA. Regardless, I wish him the best. He was so good on GH, and I have no doubt he'll do well in this new part.

Real is such a good actor, I am still stunned they left him drunk in Kelly's (I think it was Kelly's), and left all that story on the table.  It's inexcusable, but being inexcusable is just another day for the GH writers and Frank.  I am wondering if he's going to the gates?  I don't know.  I'm very happy to see he got a better job though.  And very interested to find out where and when.

I will pass the dip for those words CeChase. I really thought Gio would have been a good match for Trina. Still do and don’t want him wasted on Joss. 🤢

I just want him gone. He’s a cute kid but serves absolutely no purpose on this show.

Co-sign.

As a writer ugh how fucking pretentious. As a person who likes to write and think about writing, I have to ask, what does Gio want?  Because that's what really defines a character - their desires, their goals.

And it's not just Gio who is lacking here. So many characters on this show are just there, floating around the canvas, existing.

Say what you want about Molly - and I could say plenty, Molly is infuriating - but revenge against Kristina is a driving want. It falls apart because what's driving that - the loss of the baby - never felt real. It never felt like she really wanted a baby, no matter how often the scripts said so. The writers understand that conflict drives story but they don't understand that conflict arises from character, not plot. Yes, you put the characters in a plot situation, but then the characters react to it and there's your story.

That’s how I feel too.  He’s cute and he’s a decent actor, very natural.  But what’s his purpose??

He serves more of a purpose than Carly. Or Natalia. Or Brick. Or Michael.

Like what? He burst into the apartment and couldn’t wait to spill the tea that Carson were (supposedly) boinking in Tracy’s bedroom. He got all pissy with Trina about Ava and the gallery gig. I haven’t heard him dispense a single piece of advice or wisdom..
