Oh, he's free to not get the vaccine. He just has to do it on the unemployment line now. Choices have consequences.

It was never said that getting the vaccine guarantees you won’t get COVID, but it does significantly reduce your chances and if you do get infected, it reduces your risks of dying and of needing to be

This one hits hard. 70? My mom was also 70 and she died two weeks ago. Fuck cancer, indeed. RIP, Jackie, and if you meet my mom she'll have plenty to say about how she always rooted for Bobb

Seeing those photos of Lee, Gail and Scotty is bittersweet.  I wish GH would replace Frank Valentini with Jane Elliot.  Then she could fire this pathetic head writing team and hire people who know what they're doing, get rid of any and all Corinthii (plus Franco and Nina), and rebuild the Quartermaines, Scorpios, Webbers, Wards, Baldwins, etc.

Yup. A long strike is a disaster waiting to happen for a daytime soap. The last one was bad. But now we're down to 4 network soaps. DAYS might actually be in the best position to survive. Since they tape like 5/6 months ahead. 

I get the need to strike. Writing has been gutted lately by tv. Shows now are having shortened seasons. So the writers don't get paid as much. So they are losing out on income. My friend's place of work decided to close one day a week. Meaning she has to work on a Sat/or Sunday(not easy being a single parent with a special needs child) or lose 20% of her pay. Which ain't much to start with. Not too shockingly, plenty of her coworkers are already looking for new jobs. Still, the owner is shocked! Why quit? She had to point out to the jerk that most workers can't afford to lose 20% of their pay. And who would hire people to work one day a week? 

Kind of a similar issue with the WGA members.

Plus, after reading that article and seeing Les Moonves' sweet deal, I'd be pretty pissed too. Kinda echoes what's happening for a lot of regular folks working for corporations who are paying out big bucks to CEO's while giving the actual workforce peanuts. When will folks learn it's the middle class that grows the economy, not making super rich folks richer?

Yup. The networks and studios keep saying how poor they are and yet they give themselves(being the higher ups in management) raise after raise. While telling their employees they need to sacrifice to keep the ship going. I get the union's anger. When was the last time network/studio VPs and higher ups took a paycut to help save jobs/company?

Monica and Dillon will be the only Q's left once Tracy leaves. It's not just the Q's either. Anna, Laura, Liz & Lulu are the only people left from the Scorpio, Jones, Spencer & Webber families. Nearly every other character is either a Corinthos, Jerome, Cassadine or somehow related to the mob.

Even of the kiddie set, Emma, Georgie, Cam and Aiden are the only ones who don't have mob ties and we rarely ever see them on screen.

Sad. And such a huge mistake. 

They really need to try to build up even just one of the Quatermaine/Scorpio/Jones/Spencer/Webber families again.

IMO, Ethan shouldn't have been either a Spencer or a Scorpio. I've never been a big fan of Holly, but Ethan's conception did so much damage to her relationship with both Luke and Robert. To Luke and Laura as well and there was no need for any of that. 

I don't think either of these families needed another kid. But they do need to stop killing off the ones on canvas and start giving them decent story lines. As it were, Georgie is dead, Lucky is written to be a deadbeat father and Lulu is stuck in a crappy story. Robin and Maxie are currently off-screen.

 Yes, and all of that damage was due to making Luke his father. Otherwise he would have fit timeline-wise with Holly and Robert and her  coma. Her con artist family stealing the baby and selling him before she came out of the comma would also explain why Holly didn't raise him. The story didn't actually have to damage anyone. Ethan as Robert's son was always the better story and I actually believe that was the story Guza intended to tell. He shouldn't have caved to Geary.

You put Emma instead of Holly! I know you accidentally used Emma Samms' name instead, but at first I thought, "How would Robin's daughter been able to raise Ethan?" :)
