Nice that Carly Schroeder is returning to honor her late on-screen grandfather. But I hope this isn't permanent: Not because I hate Serena/CS, but because the hacks would no doubt decimate the character as they have everyone else.

I just don't think she's that great, and she seems too young for Serena now given all the SORASing that happened to the other people in her age group.

I kinda of agree on both counts. I do think that CS is talented enough, but a bit too young (and looks it) for my taste, which is my only real quibble with her. Often I wish that she would get some supporting role on a decently rated show elsewhere. The second is the show as a whole: they have ruined some well loved characters, so I would be worried about a character that is now a pretty blank slate. They already seem to be rewriting Maxie's backstory, or more accurately, her on screen history, in favor of Amy, just because Maxie is a pretty girl that works in fashion and KSt personal problems.

While I am here, I am going to weigh in on the SB returning to GH. I hate it. They have been far more talented actors with just as in depth histories on this show that they have tossed back with both hands for one reason or another, (GH is about to play tribute one such man this year) why should SB get a job back just because he "paid his dues" and Rebecca Budig gets tossed. I don't even like the Hayden/Rachel character.  It probably would have happened if she was playing Sarah Webber (which she should have played from the jump). I didn't even mind Michael Easton's tribute to her. Pretentious yes, but he is going to go from seeing her on a daily basis to probably only seeing her a few times a year if he is lucky and makes the effort.

I don't think she's a good actress either. I never watched her on GH but I did see her in Lizzie McGuire and thought she was terrible then and she and I are close in age. Saw her in some dolphin movies years ago and didnt care for her in that either.

It's funny. Carly Schroeder, for a bit, seemed to get work and then...silence. I really can't say if she is a good, bad, or mediocre actress based on seeing her at age 7 [haven't seen any more recent stuff], but if she is bad/mediocre...she fits right in with  good portion of the cast now.

Of course, the writing doesn't help any of the cast, but still...

IIRC CS was getting a lot of work in the mid-late 2000s in pretty legit stuff, then less so. I don't know what happened or if she took time off, but I'm more than willing to see if she's developed into a decent adult actress. If she hasn't you can always recast. It really doesn't matter to me much, but I am glad to see her. As for the visual her look doesn't bother me. It's also extremely possible we'll never see Serena again.

Yeah, she looked super young in that picture with Kin/Lynn/Jon, perhaps because she was in very casual clothes.  But she looks more mature/adult in that Instagram pic.  And I did notice that Serena's sipping scotch with Scotty and Lucy in the promo.

Serena was born on-screen in 1993 so she'd be 24/25 without SORASing.

And oh gawd, I remember when Serena was blind!

Relatedly, I must again reiterate how happy I am that Serena's visit/Peter Hansen's memorial is happening with Roger Howarth off-canvas.  I could NOT with scenes of Franco weeping about never meeting his grandfather, or of Serena gushing about her awesome big brother.  Yack.

 

That God for small favors.

Also, how old do they expect the attendees to be, 6? Coloring books?

I know adult coloring books are a thing right now. They aren't my thing. At. All.

I love coloring! I don't need adult ones, though.  I'm perfectly fine with a good Winnie the Pooh kid version.

I remember Nancy Lee Grahn used to (maybe she still does) do an "Ice Cream Social" that sounded very 1800's-esque, but I'd take that over spending time with these three snores.

He died in a plane crash? Got run over by a bus? Was all just a Figment of her imagination? I know, he's really AJ!

Can't believe no one posted the obvious: That Liz says she locked Freako in a bathroom with a year's supply of soap and shampoo and won't release him 'til he bathes, as she can't stand being near his dirty self.

Location: Docks, night.

Random Port Charles Citizen: Liz, where's Franco? I haven't seen him around for a while.

Liz (shifty-eyed): Um, not sure. He said something about having to settle a lawsuit?

RPCC: Oh. Hey, what's with the body bag?

Liz: This? Just some trash. Want to help me push it into the water?

RPCC: Sure!

*SPLASH*

RPCC: I don't why, but I feel so much better!

Liz: Me, too!
