How 'bout some truth in advertising here? Monica lost CHILDREN, plural. THREE not even COUNTING the Holy Hitman. Dawn, AJ, Emily. Monica even walking upright is an accomplishment.

Amber isn't finished yet.

And one of said children was murdered by the show's romantic lead, who spent the episode getting hugs from children and having wine with his lady.  Fuck off!

And giggling about being called a mob boss. GAH.

Also, I think losing a child isn't quite the unimaginable horror for Monica that Frank's intern thinks it is, seeing as she's lost THREE, as people have pointed out.

Girl, please.

[Cheyanne11]

It must be nice thinking the show is balanced because you're on four days a week, every week, while others might get four days a month.

Sit yourself down, Maurice.  

[amaranta]

MB can't really believe that can he?  He's in 90% of the story lines, even when it doesn't make any sense for Sonny to pop up, there he is.

I really need less Sonny.

[Neptune]

[Asp Burger]

The imbalance has been a long-time thing, too. I remember back when there were actually Quartermaines on the show, some of the male actors who played the Quartermaine men -- I think, Damon, Ingle, and Kurth -- talking about how Maurice always was the last face seen going to commercial. One of them joked that even if he wasn't even in the scene, it would cut to him listening in from across the street, or something. This was in the early aughts.

If they're going to do TBTs, they should give us the original date. I see it's the 8,000th episode celebration, but some of us are lazy and don't want to google.

Also, no TG? Baby JJ is adorable, though.

It would have to be between 1993-1995, because Rosalind Cash (Mary Mae Ward) is in the picture.

O.M.G. The trinity is together again???  Must start dvring again.

Except not.  Another character past his sell by date to eat the show.  No thanks.

[dubbel zout]

Both of those pictures make me feel personally attacked.

[Asp Burger]

Age has made Burton look more and more like Christopher Walken. Would that it had given him either the acting ability or the dancing ability.

When we already have that character on canvas eating more than his fair share of the show.  I really never thought it could get worse than the Guza Trinity, but Jason x 2 is definitely testing that theory.

[WendyCR72]

Two Jasons is like a new circle of hell. More reason to be proud I no longer watch.

Granted these are still shots and one standing-still teaser, but he seems so stiff. From the small amount I saw of him on Y & R, he had a lightness and agility to him. Now he just seems like a block of wood again.

[Mrs. Stanwyck]

That picture of the three of them makes me irrationally angry.  Seriously, those three and the obscene amount of air time they sucked up drove me away.  Even though I am not watching and won't be personally impacted, knowing that there is going to be a return to those dark days makes me stabby.

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose. Profond soupir.

A harrowing, new #GH starts RIGHT NOW on ABC!

LOL, "harrowing"? No. 

Also, the generic Jason stand-in is getting a lot of work. Good for him!

[tvgoddess]

You guys, Brydog finally got a job.

Craig will play Adam Coogan, a Delta Force operator. He’s one of the guys on the top-secret team to retrieve the American POWs, Sergeant Kam and Sergeant Hendrix.

Deadline's got jokes.

[Oracle42]

Is the Jason stand-in wearing Jason's wedding ring? So...Sam is hallucinating?

I'm confused, but not intrigued.

Please just let Maurice go gray. Stop this.

He'll be with dentures and crapping his Depends and GH will STILL claim Sonny is a sex symbol and 35 at that.

In the new issue of Soap Opera Digest, on sale Friday, Steve Burton opens up about his return to the show he called home for decades after debuting as Jason in 1991. Leaving GH in 2012, he says, “was definitely one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever had to make in my entire life.” But after relocating his family to Tennessee and a four-year, Emmy-winning run on Y&R as Dylan, the time was right to check back in to Port Charles. “The emotional attachment I have to the show, to the people, to the crew, to everyone there, was obviously a gigantic part of my decision-making,” he notes. “Now, I’m like, ‘Man, I am so blessed just to be able to go back to a show that I grew up on. And hopefully finish there.’ It’s kind of like the circle of life in a weird way.” Burton reflects on the phone call he placed to Billy Miller (Jason) before returning to the studio, his emotional first days back on the job, and much more in his first interview since news of his return broke this summer — and assures fans that his comeback will be a lengthy one. “I’m there long-term,” he enthuses. “This is not stunt casting, for me to be there for a month and leave. At all.

MAURICE BENARD INTERVIEW

Good lord, that Maurice interview.

"Steve's like a brother.  No, wait, it's like I'm his Uncle.  Billy's a friend.  Happy, happy, happy."

"That was a tough day, but I loved the writing."
"I thought it was going to be ridiculous, but it was great."

He sounds like a robot.  I'm sure he's just happy to be sucking up half the salary budget, so everything is great! as far as he's concerned.

[stlbf]

Aww, Nathan and former temp Maxie(Jen Lilley) are in a new Hallmark movie in two weeks!

At least he's smiling.  Burton looks like he just smelled a fart.

[peachmangosteen]

BM's smile is SO fake though. It's glorious.

[dubbel zout]

Does it ever look real? It cracks me up how BM is seemingly unable to smile genuinely.

[jsbt]

I like Maurice's interview ending with him trying to get in the door with Sam.

[Oracle42]

Ugh. It was bad enough the first time. Can't they just import another tiny brunette?

Grahn related: “Here’s my statement: I hope it works out with Will.  I literally know nothing. When it comes to contract negotiations it’s none of my business, or anybody else’s.  It’s tricky stuff.  I just renegotiated.  Mine went swimmingly.  Will’s is going how it’s going, and only he knows what that is.  Having said that; I would love for him to come back.

I would love for them to continue this story in an appropriate and realistic way. The two of them are madly in love with each other -’madly’, I stress.  They both come from very violent families, and it makes sense that they would be together. The characters just need to both understand and dig deep as to why they are there, and go through that, and come out the other side.  That would be cool, and that’s how I could see them reuniting.  Alexis and Julian are addicted to each other, and that has to be addressed.”

That picture of BM with TK Weaver has me on the floor. Miller looks like he's going to murder him as soon as the picture has been taken. IOW, his usual smile. Hee.

I don't get that picture of WdV. I thought he'd re-signed.

He did. That interview is from a month ago.

[dubbel zout]

Thanks, ulkis. I thought maybe there was some last-minute snag I hadn't heard about.

[jsbt]

WDV re-signed a while ago, sadly. Nonetheless Nancy sounds like she's metaphorically running to the car and fumbling for her keys in that statement.
