Anybody want to fill in those of us without Twitter on just what those follows consist of?

You don't need twitter to see his follows. Here's a link to the list of who's he's following.

TBF,  praising the directing on the love scene is just about the most anemic praise that you can give. They're basically congratulating somebody for keeping the camera pointed towards what was happening and actually watching that in real time.  

I sure as hell couldn't do it, so they probably do deserve praise for it. 

Good point lol!

[jsbt]

That link don't work, maybe it's for the best

[ihavenoidea]

I don't think you used to have to join twitter to see follow lists, but now you do.

I don't want to get in trouble with the mods, so I'll PM you about it.

::Reads CD's Twitter follows::

Well, there goes what little liking or respect I had for him!

[ulkis]

lol

[dubbel zout]

Those are actually kind of cute. *runs away ashamed*

[peachmangosteen]

They should've done Franco. It could've been like just the poop emoji 3 times or something.

[tvgoddess]

They did do Franco, in the replies. Or at least people wrote in. Gross, with hearts and dogs and who the fuck knows what else.

This made me curious so I checked and yea over him. I'm glad I don't give a shit about Michael anymore or this would be worse.

Twitter has helped me go from "Eh I just don't care about so and so character on GH" top "I really can't stand this actor and they can leave tomorrow"

[HeatLifer]

There should be a teardrop emoji for Anna.

And shattered glass for Sonny.

For Anna:

[Asp Burger]

Okay, PM me too, if it can't be discussed here. One person after another has recoiled in horror at the people Chad Duell is following on Twitter, and I can't see it either (no account), and my curiosity is getting the best of me. From context clues, I'm reasonably sure I can guess what's going on. Chances are, if it's a lot of one...view, and he isn't following at least some people on the opposing side, it isn't just hate-following.

[Sake614]

I don't get what all the fuss is about who CD follows? You don't have to agree with an actor's politics to like their work. Lord knows I don't agree with Ed Asner, Streisand, Martin sheen et al but I still enjoy watching/listening to them. YMMV of course...

[tvgoddess]

I shouldn't have ever mentioned it. I was angry at the time and venting from other places. Let's drop it for good from here, thanks.

Yea, mileage varies. Especially in the climate we're in right now, I just can't look at someone with affection if they support the people CD does. It's similar to how many people (including myself) kinda gave up on NLG after her weird Viola Davis tantrum.

@Asp Burger what is the 4 in reference to? 

For Anna you pretty much have to have a crying face. That's virtually all she does nowadays.

Can anyone in the Atlanta area help a bro out? 

Bryan Craig ‏@bryan_craig  Feb 3

In Atlanta for the weekend. Where the fun bars and spots at???

[dubbel zout]

Way to narrow things down, BryDog.

Ah, too bad I missed this, I'd have sent him to a cemetery or something. They did extend the bar hours tonight though until 2:30am. Ugh, just knowing he's here trolling for chicks kind of makes me shudder.

[ulkis]

You coulda suggested some place and then gone to see if he had actually went, heh.

I'll spill.....he follows that orange guy, Satan's handmaiden Ann Coulter, and the original alternative facts site, Breitbart, to name a few.

I almost wish I lived in ATL cuz I would definitely suggest places to Brydog and see if he showed up. Do you think he wore a hat? ;)

[dubbel zout]

Does BryDog just drop in on cities at the last minute? Is it so hard to use the Google for two minutes to figure out what he wants to do? For some dumb reason all of this is really aggravating to me. Show a little initiative in your own life.

[Oracle42]

But, if nobody knows he's there, how are fans supposed to show up and make him feel important?

[ulkis]

Oh, I actually don't think anything of it. I think it would be fun to suggest some place to him and then sneak up and see if he shows if he were in the area.

[ulkis]

Master and apprentice:

Warning, someone making a rude gesture in this picture:

and of course that someone is Brydog.

[LeftPhalange]

I'm just going to assume you get alerts any time BD posts or is tagged in something on social media. 

[peachmangosteen]

That has got to be the doucheist picture ever taken.

Alas, if I did, I would have gotten out Bryan's urgent requests for where to hang out in Atlanta earlier. I failed him! :hangs head:

[WendyCR72]

This is just a reminder and directed to all and not meant as a punishment but more as a plea to please not bring up politics here, even in jest. For one, it has nothing to do with GH and, two, PTV no likey.

Clear? Cool! Carry on!

I believe you may be correct.

I am curious - were Bryan and Thao at some event together or was Thao just unlucky enough to be sitting behind Brydog on a random flight?

No, they were all doing an event together.

I love how TP is studiously avoiding looking at anyone. Hee.

For some reason, RPW's hat looks photoshopped on. His waxiness affects even his clothes!

Ausiello's got the deets on Nora's visit.  It is short term, starting March 6th:

Oh Frank...

I think she’s kind of been living happily ever after, with Bo (played on OLTL by Robert S. Woods). Doing her legal thing and loving on her husband. I’m wondering if she has grandchildren about now…? I don’t think so.

Has she forgotten about Matthew and Destiny's kid already?

I said the same thing over in the OLTL thread lol.

I wonder how many more OLTL characters will be showing up this year.

Sigh.  I hated that the show made Matthew and Destiny teen parents.  Sheesh.  This is the exact same story with Starr and Cole.

*small voice* If one of said characters was a rascally doctor visiting GH for a seminar who turns out to be an old friend of Lucas' and they compare notes on their marriages, that would be okay. *small voice*

Why won't they cancel GH and Frank can reboot and ruin OLTL?

And Erin's Jessica before that! Not that having her baby die was great either, of course.

Ditto, I hated that they did another teen pregnancy story so soon after Starr.  It did open up some interesting avenues on PP OLTL, but still. 

[jsbt]

MC R-Wattz is still in full EFX, I see. No, I don't like him yet.

I came so close to making that pic my new avatar. It perfectly captures them both.

It was a stupid plan, IMO.  Destiny was smart as a whip and had a crush on Matthew.  Matthew liked Destiny as a friend and their ONS was stupid, AF.  OLTL did not need any more babies on the show.  I could see Bo & Nora being doting grandparents years and years down the road, but not with Matthew as a teenage father.  

[WendyCR72]

If I had my way (and I don't), there'd be no Nora visit, no more Michael Easton, Roger Howarth would be LONG GONE, and OLTL would be erased altogether from GH, including FV.

GH sucks now, tremendously so, but maybe it wouldn't be such a pit of despair/boredom if it had folks that cared about GH's OWN history instead of an EP who just can't let his old show go, and a show that even had a brief reboot with its own time to close out those characters and their stories via PP.

At some point, it's time to let OLTL join the likes of Another World, Santa Barbara, Sunset Beach, Guiding Light, Edge of Night, and all the rest that had come and gone and now only exist in fans' memories.

But, again, that's me.

I mean, I get it.  If OLTL was still around and they had Sonny and Carly randomly pop into town, I'd find that pretty annoying.

But I won't lie, I love Nora/Hilary B. Smith and I'd rather watch her for a few episodes than most of the numskulls currently on this show.
