WendyCR72 January 23, 2018 Share January 23, 2018 Just to chime in: My brother was 20, going on 21 when he had his son, my nephew. My parents were only 42 at the time of my nephew's birth. (I was 15, going on 16, a younger aunt!) And this was back in the late '80s, so grandparents in their 40s is not unusual, really ever. (My own grandmother, my mom's mom, was 48 when I was born!)

Lol, nowadays you do find 47 year old grandparents. :) I'm 45 on Thursday and my stepson (who was born when I was in my early 20s) has 2 children...so yeah, I'm a 45 year old grandma twice over (they're 6 and 4..so I was a grandma before I was 40). Physically, it's possible. Link to comment

BlackMamba March 15, 2018 Share March 15, 2018 AS is coming back, that's a positive. The negative, Sami is going to have her 5th kid and it'll be Snuffleupagus. Most of us all but predicted this might happen. Hope better not be ok with it. She's done this with Bo and Billie. She needs to be a stronger woman and dump Snuffleupagus for good if Sami comes marching in with his bastard kid. https://www.soapoperadigest.com/content/exclusive-alison-sweeney-back-days/ 1 Link to comment
nilyank March 15, 2018 Share March 15, 2018 It doesn't mention anything about Sami's storyline. Rumor has it that she will be around the wedding of John and Marlena which should be shown sometime in 6 months from now. 1 Link to comment

swtrgrl March 16, 2018 Share March 16, 2018 I think that yes, Sami will be there for the Jarlena wedding...and that's why Horita are in tuxes in their InstaStories.

Yes, that was the cover for them as Stefano released them back into society. They were test tube babies that Stefano had raised in a facility. The "alien" thing was stupid but it was just a cover to essentially explain their confinement. Personally, I would love to see them back. The show is in need of their age range. To think that as great as the "last blast" crew was Chloe is the only one around full time, with Belle and Shawn now reduced to making appearances. The show could use them. 2 Link to comment

I didn't mind them being Tony and Marlena's children, but I really did love how it unfolded. The only reason Marlena was thought to be the mom was because she had memories of giving birth to them while she was kidnapped in the 80's. I really loved how they weaved in Kate's association with Stefano, and Marlena and Roman's kidnappings at different points to weave everything together that actually made sense on how he pulled it off. What really sold me on them being Kate and Roman's children or more Kate's children was the Kate and Rex relationship. Lauren and Eric Winters had great chemistry and it was nice to see a biological child thrilled and excited about his birth mother. 2 Link to comment

I'm with you there, I did like their brief time as Dimeras. My favorite scene was Tony introducing them to Lexie and Celeste and the twins asking if Celeste was Tony's mom as well. Thaoo"s reaction as Tony, he actually stops for a second and slyly says "I don't think so" with a smirk. 2 Link to comment
WendyCR72 March 23, 2018 Share March 23, 2018 But was Cassie's "death" also reversed? I can't remember. All I do remember is she was among those (Alice, Maggie, etc.) that the show killed off (and no, I don't buy they were always coming back - this was about money, but fans blew a gasket!) killed during the whole Fake Salem crap. If I recall, Cassie was trapped in some pinata or whatever and whacked/beaten to death. I can't recall if her death was reversed, too. Link to comment

To be fair though, all of those actors were actually fired. It was the backlash to the firings that forced the producers hand to hire them all back and come up with the Melaswen storyline. 2 Link to comment

JBC344 April 26, 2018 Share April 26, 2018 11 minutes ago, DisneyBoy said: Translation? I don't watch OLTL, but I was a GH watcher. Franco was a character that James Franco originated a few years ago when he decided it would be a fun experiment to do a soap opera. He played this eccentric artist who was also a serial killer. His character was supposed to be temporary, shake up the cast, get rid of some dead weight, boost ratings, etc. When James finished his stint, TPTB decided to bring the character back, with a different actor of course. In order to make the character viable since he was previously a serial killer, they came up with this "brain tumor" storyline as a way to soften the character, explain his violent past, and keep him on the canvas. I haven't watched GH in a few years but the character was always a little hit and miss and originally was never intended to be a mainstay. I'm assuming people may be worried that Ben will become the new Franco. 3 Link to comment

Although, it'd be hilarious for one of her alters to fall in love with a still psycho Ben. Anyhoo...nothing to see up there.

On one hand, I do like the actor and think that Ben could really shake things up. On the other hand, it continues to be maddening that they have so many other newer characters on contract, but Wally, Judi, and Bryan all still remain on recurring. 5 Link to comment

nilyank April 30, 2018 Share April 30, 2018 The main culprit in turning Ben into a serial killer is his criminal father who abused his mother, raped his sister, and enabled Ben in horrible activity including tampering with the paternity test so that Ben was even more obsess with Thomas, I don"t blame Chad or serial cheater Abby for what Ben did because it is not a normal reaction to kill a bunch of people (mostly women) in order to frame your romantic rival for the killings. 4 Link to comment
