She does occasionally dress up when there's some town soiree, but she misses a lot of those, because the writing requires her to be at the desk when the gunshot victim from said event comes in on a stretcher. So I could see why she might want to go for "polished" at a fan event. Just a theory. Like my dad.

He's is one vet from the other defunct ABC soaps I would like to see. I enjoyed him with Anna. I have no idea where the Valentine story is going but I think VI would make a better option - she could possibly be redeemed for embarking on the Revenge for Duke tour. And she did just mention Leora, much to my surprise, since it's non-GH history. Irizarry was horrible on Days of Our Lives, but the writing did him no favors. His character was a Kiriakis, born in Greece, who spent decades in a Greek prison, before coming to Salem. Apparently, the Greek prison was on Long Island, because he didn't even attempt to tone down his accent. His story line has gone from stupid to creepy then back to stupid. I really hope he doesn't show up on GH. On 3/8/2017 at 2:22 PM, ch1 said: So what happens to the Qs? Is Dillion the only main character with the name right now? Personally I'd bring back Ned and AJ full time. I'm so sorry Jane is leaving (for us, that is). They should bring Ned back full time, because Days isn't using Wally right, anyhow.

But now I do (although I'm not like oh, that's GOTTA be it, although I do think it likely). Her hair, her listless demeanor, her facial breakout. Honestly, the make-up people didn't help. I would have thought less of some acne than the make-up they pancaked on her face. But, whatever it is, I think she came back too early last time. When she returned after her skin-issues leave, she looked worse -- much thinner than she was before the leave. They've been shooting her from funny angles, futzing with her lighting, and putting her hair in front of her face, and yes -- the makeup is so bad and is probably not helping her skin issues.

ByaNose March 20, 2017 Share March 20, 2017 (edited) Has anyone ever listened to DC Podcast? Does Jamey Giddens & that woman really talk like that in real life? I had to turn it off like 2 minutes into the show. My god! All that yelling and screaming & talking like they've never been in school and taught English. Yeah, I won't be tuning anytime soon....again. As for, KS. I hope she gets the help she needs. It looks like the show was trying to work with her through all of this through makeup, hair extensions, fuzzy lighting & non close ups but it was too serious to continue. I'm not sure if it was their call or hers but hopefully she'll get help. The one thing I always thought was weird was she got a permanent dent or dimple mark on her cheek that she didn't have before. I don't know how one would get that later in life but it was obvious something was going on and adding makeup to it made it look like she was punched. Anyway, there's been no word if they are recasting or just writing Maxie out. There's also no way to determine if this will affect RP part in the show either. They don't tape as far in advance as DOOL (I think a month or so) and, I'm guessing we will here something soon.
