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

I happen to agree with KM that she had more chemistry with Miller and should've stayed with Drew, but that's a story preference. Kelly tanking her storyline at the time, publicly making a fuss BTS, etc. and having the show penalize her for that behavior is a story in daytime that's as old as the hills with many actors who get in trouble with the brass over the years at various soaps, and it's not going to get FV fired. Only a much bigger scandal or widespread outcry among the cast and crew (or ratings issues) will do that.

That’s the thing I wonder. Does she have more? She needs to in order to get anywhere.

Not to mention, it's been how many years since BM was let go from GH? She's carried on with being obviously bored with her character/writing/storylines for years since then without being fired until now. It's pretty hard for me to not have some rather cynical thoughts about the way she's handling all of this now.

I just did the math and realized that he was only about 29 or 30 when he started on Ryan's Hope! I guess his mustache and sense of gravitas (and my own young age) made me think he was older. I always loved the twinkle in his eye.

Hey, Bold and the Beautiful actually had someone date their adoptive uncle.

I'll never forget Bridget developing feelings for Ridge about five minutes after finding out they weren't biologically sister and brother.

GH isn't Days of Our Lives either...🤣

If anyone here was watching Days when Chelsea, Stephanie and Max were around they'll get what I mean. Max was interested in two of his adoptive nieces. The three of them didn't grow up around each other. Not that it made things any better.

Ah, one of Lucas first storylines on this show was a love triangle involving him and his adopted cousins Maxie and Georgie. Whatever the girls feel towards their biodad Frisco, his brother Tony was their uncle through and through, especially after he and Bobbie allowed Maxie to have BJ's heart, and Lucas was raised by Tony and Bobbie since he was a baby. That storyline was so weird, I was relieved he came out as gay; chalk up his inapprioate feels towards his cousins was him unable to come to terms with being gay as a teen.

Is it Janz or Jenz? Jeebus Cripes. And no, Geary is not "X-Luke" as if Luke had been recast with someone else after Geary left! But oh my THIS:

I don't find KeMo a high-energy performer to begin with. We've joked that it can be hard to tell if she's awake, but there's truth to that joke. Her level of engagement doesn't feel too high even when it seems she's enjoying herself.

I'm reusing my own old material here, but it's relevant. A few years ago, during an especially fallow storyline period, I was keeping up with the show online and getting through it more quickly by setting the video to play at 1.5x speed. This would make everyone else, but especially fast talkers like Carolyn Hennessy and Kirsten Storms, sound as if their characters were excessively caffeinated or worse. But it would make Kelly Monaco sound as if she were fully awake and talking at an average rate of speed.

Real is such a good actor, I am still stunned they left him drunk in Kelly's (I think it was Kelly's), and left all that story on the table.  It's inexcusable, but being inexcusable is just another day for the GH writers and Frank.  I am wondering if he's going to the gates?  I don't know.  I'm very happy to see he got a better job though.  And very interested to find out where and when.

I just want him gone. He’s a cute kid but serves absolutely no purpose on this show.

Co-sign.

As a writer ugh how fucking pretentious. As a person who likes to write and think about writing, I have to ask, what does Gio want?  Because that's what really defines a character - their desires, their goals.

And it's not just Gio who is lacking here. So many characters on this show are just there, floating around the canvas, existing.

Say what you want about Molly - and I could say plenty, Molly is infuriating - but revenge against Kristina is a driving want. It falls apart because what's driving that - the loss of the baby - never felt real. It never felt like she really wanted a baby, no matter how often the scripts said so. The writers understand that conflict drives story but they don't understand that conflict arises from character, not plot. Yes, you put the characters in a plot situation, but then the characters react to it and there's your story.

Dispensing pearls of wisdom and advice 🙄

Like what? He burst into the apartment and couldn’t wait to spill the tea that Carson were (supposedly) boinking in Tracy’s bedroom. He got all pissy with Trina about Ava and the gallery gig. I haven’t heard him dispense a single piece of advice or wisdom..
