Also, are they really trying to make people feel bad for Franco by claiming he was molested?

Yes, they are.

They had another pairing planned for Rachel on OLTL post-Greg, but the show and network chose to drop both characters.

Schuyler, right?  So who brought the axe down, the network or the show?  Because again, it seems weird to me that, when that pairing failed, the legacy character got the immediate boot while this newbie nobody was allowed to float around for a few more months.  Although maybe Rachel had to go because they knew they were about to Ross-en Schuyler for Rex/Gigi and wanted anyone who might say something nice about him off-screen?

Annnyway, yeah, it's not like I miss Dillon, I like Detective Chase, and I'd be interested in seeing him and Kiki chem tested, or seeing him revealed to be a bisexual ex of Lucas'.

I just can't be bothered to give a shit about anything in GH's gay canvas when they're almost never seen. What is there to invest in?

And yes, it was Schuyler. They set it up onscreen and had a triangle with the three characters mentioned in print in spring previews, then both actors were abruptly fired. I think it was a combination of the network and FV choosing to purge the gays and that whole end of the canvas because the Kish storyline had tanked some of the ratings and they wanted to hire more Ford hunks to reposition the show.

But jsbt, the progressive and groundbreaking work of Shelly Altman! #alltheyerolls

Siiigh, Schuyler and Rachel would have been great together too, their friendship was so sparkily.

Hey, Ryan Carnes got a hat after all!

[UYI]

I'll be the nice person who says that if it makes her happy, cool. I remember watching her on OLTL when I was a pre-teen, and even though her acting ability diminished as she got older, she's only two years younger than me, so I still have a soft spot for her. It was probably a good thing for her to step away from it for a few years, after having been in the business for so long (this would have been her 20th anniversary on OLTL, had the show survived and she stayed on--she joined in early 1998, when she was just shy of seven years old).

...And now I have to come back with something mean and snarky to say so you guys don't get mad at me. ;)

UYI, has anyone yelled at you for not being snarky? Even the most cynical posters squee about something occasionally.

There's really no need to be. The main thead has a bunch of Franco love and no blood has been shed, so far. ;)

[dubbel zout]

That project looks like a great fit for her.

[TeeVee329]

Great to hear she's diving back into acting...

Didn't they just fire KS?  If so, isn't this tweet kind of tone deaf?

[UYI]

The GH Twitter feed's whole zip code tends to be tone deaf. This is par for the course for them. 

[ulkis]

Nobody really knows what's going on with KSh.

I'd almost think the social-media folks are trolling Frank, but he's too involved for that to be the case. Regardless, the show's Twitter feed is always a mess.

Kin was and still is beautiful.

GH, on the other hand, not so much

LW and Wes Ramsey were on The Kitchen (a show on Food Network) just now and it was so dumb. They didn't have much to say, LW talked over him when Wes wanted to speak, and they didn't cook anything. (Usually the "guest stars" have some connection to food and cook something.) They just watched the hosts cook, tasted, and drank cocktails.

[dubbel zout]

Didn't LW and her ex-husband have a vineyard or something? Maybe he got that in the divorce settlement.

Probably just a way for LW to get some attention with her "man" and get her name out there.  No one knows who they are.

Yes they did. 

I still find it so bizarre that they're divorced and she's with WR now. They knew each other since high school in Clinton, MD; he followed her from the New York soaps all the way out West to GH.

These people were on “The Kitchen” and didn’t cook? Why were they on then? I get so tired of this show having people on who just want to promote something. I do like people who actually, you know, cook or write a cookbook or have a restaurant. 

[Oracle42]

Maybe it was scheduled when she was still partial owner of a vineyard?

I don't even think they were promoting anything based on Lexie's post.  I mean, are they promoting an event?  The show itself?  The anniversary episode passed.  Again, my personal belief, LW wants her name and "man" out there so she wiggled her ass onto the show.

Yeah I watch that show occasionally and there's no point in being their if you're not a cook who can offer a recipe.

Yeah, no, they didn't promote anything. Sonny Anderson (one of the hosts) did mention they were from General Hospital but that was it and it was a small mention.

Thanks.  So they were just randomly on that show with no cooking experience. Amusing.

They were referred to as “Soap royalty”, and Laura as an Emmy winning actress on The Kitchen.  It was pretty low key though, I thought the whole segment was a bit awkward.

[TeeVee329]

There is something unseemly about how back pat-y this promo is:

Also?  Way to leave out that you used your Alzheimer's story to introduce more mob shit, Show.

I cracked up that the shots of Sonny are of him looking peevish and put upon. Because of course he's the one most affected by Mike's Alzheimer's, not Mike himself.

Soap Twitter detectives did reverse searches on all those Twitter handles that were writing all those tweets that patted themselves on the back, and none of those handles actually exist except Maria Shriver.

I was just reading about this on Twitter.  Apparently the accounts do exist, but whoever on their social media team put this together left the time stamp (i.e. 1w, 2d) on the end of the handles lol.

Still dumb. Lol

Oh dear, apparently Leslie Charleson injured her leg and thus we're going to get a Temp!Monica...

EXCLUSIVE! GH TAPS PATTY MCCORMACK AS TEMPORARY MONICA

[TeeVee329]

In other news, apparently the show yanked that "look how powerful and amazing our storytelling is" promo off of Facebook and Twitter, ha!

[Gam2]

I’m sorry that Leslie Charleston has injured herself walking her dog. That’s a serious injury at her age and I hope she has a quick recovery. I won’t say I’m sorry that she’s being replaced temporarily because I don’t think she’s a good actress anymore. The heavy breathing and plastic surgery has taken me out of her role as Monica because I remember her from many years of being really great in that role.

Hope she likes kids. Three of 'em, I think? At least she won't have to worry about running a hospital or anything like that.

[UYI]

Patty McCormack? As in Bad Seed Patty McCormack? That's actually pretty cool. I hope she's doing well.

(Trivia: The late Patty Duke--born Anna Marie Duke--was given her stage name by her abusive managers as a child, in hopes that she would have similar success as McCormack did with The Bad Seed. They supposedly introduced the idea by telling Duke, then around age seven: "Anna Marie is dead, you are Patty now." Yep.)

I hope Lisa LoCicero is in that photo only because she happened to be passing by, not because Carla Hall will interact somehow with Olivia.

[TheMediaHo]

Wasn't Hall in that god-awful episode where the new PickleLila was introduced on The Spew and all of the chefs...spewed?

Perhaps she'll be asking Olivia for her famous lasagna recipe and then end up with food poisoning, resulting in more barf. Like Ned/Ted, there's always room for repetition of a tired theme on GH!

[Gam2]

I watched “The Chew” one time and couldn’t take the screaming, overly excited emoting and ridiculous interactions. BLECH.
