General Days September 4, 2015 Share September 4, 2015 Honestly, the real reason I wouldn't want Rebecca Budig to be Emily because I don't want Nikolas to have any kind of win or happy ending coming out of this story. I want him to go down and go down HARD. No brain tumors, no "Helena made me do it!', no sympathy bangs from Liz, etc. They couldn't launch Rafe as the new Hot White Boyfriend for Molly so they quickly lost interest. And who gives a fuck about Felix's sister, making her the fourth spoke in that quad was dumb from the onset. I've been immersed in the latter 1990s GH, so my current good will toward Nik, Liz, Lucky, and (real) Emily knows no bounds. I know that isn't fair. It's just how it is. I don't want Nik to go down. I just want him to stop it, or to realize he's been like Stefan and stop or, or to just be like Stefan and not get more Cassidinian. I liked Rafe a lot. I thought (go ahead, throw tomatoes) that actor had more chemistry with Molly than TJ does. I also thought Felix's sister was good. What do I know? DOOL also just cast Vincent Irizzary. I'd have taken him on GH over all of Frank's Y&R gets combined. It'll be months before anyone sees him on screen, but still. ETA: I wish they would give Jordan and TJ some family members. TJ needs cousins, aunts and uncles to talk some sense into him. At this point, although I like both the actors who play TJ and Jordan, I think these characters need to be written off. Sorry. Ugh, now you've made me remember that Bianca asked for Zach's sperm for her second baby. Thanks! um, topic: Apparently the new writers called Sonny and CArly a destiny couple in the magazine previews. Damn it, I need Vanessa Marcil to make an overture now! From the spoilers: Who the hell is Paul? It's Dillon's father. Don't feel badly. I had to Google it. Oh, I think Nik should go down, and if Budig were Emily she could help put him there. For a while. But as good as the chemistry is I could also just as easily let her go. The obsession with outside stars is one of this show's biggest problems and she is nearing the top of the list (Franco and Nina remain a shared #1 with a bullet). It really revitalized the new All My Children on Hulu. They took a 5-year timeshift as an opportunity to SORAS all the kids and Agnes Nixon was back to doing what she did best, which was create those youth sets. It was clean, pure soap storytelling and it reminds me a bit of what DOOL is doing with the kids, though almost certainly not as well as AMC 2.0. I don't know why GH has never been able to get its shit together with the kids, whether we're talking about Lucy's girls perpetually maybe coming on, or the current kids, or just T.J. and Molly. I think part of the reason Ron and Frank never committed there is because Frank was obsessed with finding another pretty white boy after Rafe failed as Cole Thornhart Jr. - T.J. does not 'measure up,' clearly. I also think they were far too preoccupied with Kristen Alderson and a million other, larger, ridiculous stories and priorities. And all these little-ass kids. I don't know. I don't mean to be harsh, but AMC didn't bring its fans to online soaps. 1 Link to comment
Kitty Redstone September 4, 2015 Share September 4, 2015 At this point, although I like both the actors who play TJ and Jordan, I think these characters need to be written off. Sorry. They're more interesting characters portrayed by better actors, have more connections to the canvas, and fit into the show better that Franco and Nina ever will. If anyone needs to be written off (preferably by killing them off in a hail of machine gun bullets and a fiery explosion), it's those two. In my opinion, of course. 7 Link to comment

TeeVee329 September 4, 2015 Share September 4, 2015 (edited) I liked Rafe a lot. I thought (go ahead, throw tomatoes) that actor had more chemistry with Molly than TJ does. (picks up a juicy heirloom tomato - j/k!) I've said before that I liked the idea of Rafe, but the show stamped out everything interesting about his backstory to make him the new White Hot Boyfriend. It's a Frank template - Cole, Crybaby James, Trey, etc. I do think Molly and TJ's age group needs more characters, but when Rafe and Taylor flopped, Ron seemed to lose all interest in them. And making TJ Sonny's adopted minority son is not the way to give them more story, IMO. Edited September 4, 2015 by TeeVee329 3 Link to comment
KerleyQ September 4, 2015 Share September 4, 2015 If they really wanted to fuck with people they could say Hayden = Rebecca Shaw = Emily Quartermaine. Plastic surgery. That's probably way too much, though. And the personality is forever changed. And oh, eww, I forgot the Jake angle, never mind. TC and Budig do have real chemistry, maybe the most he's had with a woman in a long time. It's the character and story that drags it down. If she still thinks she's Rebecca, it could work, to some extent (not that I'm advocating it). It would make sense that Rebecca would have no qualms about fucking with Liz's mind. And, unless I've blocked something out, she and Jake never really did anything, so it's not like we'd have "oh, God, I slept with my brother!" angst when she realizes she's Emily. But, I'd only want her to be Emily if she's so disgusted by what Nik's done that she wants nothing to do with him. I wouldn't have a problem with them together down the road, after he works his ass off to redeem himself and earn her respect and trust, but for him to just have his believed dead love of his life just happily dropped into his lap after all he's done would be gross. 5 Link to comment
Bawoman September 4, 2015 Share September 4, 2015 I couldn't deal with another amnesia/plastic surgery story. Of course, that could be because I have no problem with RBu, or the Hayden character at all. She's smart, and isn't making it easy for Nik to fool her. I like the fact that her attraction to him is there, but it isn't overriding her desire for the truth. She IS keeping Nik on his toes, which is exactly what he needs. I do think she will be Quartermained, though. But I'm thinking more along the lines of her being Jimmy Lee Holt's daughter. If Hayden really is from the more blue collar town of Beechers Corners, it would make sense. 3 Link to comment
IWantCandy71 September 4, 2015 Share September 4, 2015 Am I wrong, or wasn't the "Hayden has a surprising connection to someone in PC" a spoiler in the actual mags? Because if it was, wouldn't they have already been giving us some hints as to what connection that is? There are so many "spoilers" posted on sites sometimes, that are made up and not genuine spoilers at all, and I'm just wondering if that is one of them. Could have sworn though, that a posting about SOD or SID about a month back stated she'd have that connection. Does anyone else remember this? I don't think she'll be Emily, if there is a connection. I still vote for Susan. Mainly because any other person would require a more convoluted explanation, but other reasons as well. Link to comment
dubbel zout September 4, 2015 Share September 4, 2015 Am I wrong, or wasn't the "Hayden has a surprising connection to someone in PC" a spoiler in the actual mags?

Oracle42 September 4, 2015 Share September 4, 2015 (edited) Hayden's barely a character so any chemistry that exists is between the actors. So I f the chemistry between RB and TC is worth it, kill off Hayden and bring RB back as Sarah Webber or Rebecca/Emily. I'd prefer Sarah because Liz should have some family around and I think she and RB would spark against each other Edited September 4, 2015 by Oracle42 Link to comment
General Days September 4, 2015 Share September 4, 2015 WISH GRANTED: Rebecca Budig's Hayden is really double amnesiac, Sarah Webber. She and Elizabeth will spark against each other... …in a triangle with Nikolas, during which Elizabeth will only want Nik when he wants Sarah, and Nik will only want Liz when she wants someone else. j/k 2 Link to comment
IWantCandy71 September 4, 2015 Share September 4, 2015 (edited) I think a Seinfeld-esque "kibosh" should be put on any other actors playing multiple roles-unless the "multiple roles" is a GOOD split personality story, the purpose of which is to bump off the characters that annoy me. If it's not kosher, no one should do it. No exceptions. And I like Hayden so far. I don't want her stuck with Lizzie Boredom. Edited for spelling.

Molly told him Uncle Sonny is a mobster. Stay near him and take your life in your hands. This show gets more like Guza's version every day. TJ lost me when he was mad at his mother because she was an undercover cop and not a drug dealer. ? does that make any sense to anyone ever ? I though they had a great story Rafe was a history character . had a hard life and finally found a family. I liked Rafe and the actor who played him. I also liked him with Molly. Link to comment

Well of course Jason gets a memory flash when something happens to Sonny. Oh boo. I wanted it to be Ric behind the shooting! Ric only goes after Sonny when they are at odds and Sonny wants nothing to do with him. They are currently on good terms, so Ric has no need to go after Sonny to get his attention. I am actually relieved that Ric wasn't behind it because that would have meant he went after Molly's boyfriend to get to Sonny. Oh boo. I wanted it to be Ric behind the shooting! Probably they will hook up Dillon and Maxie as they work together on his film. Edited September 5, 2015 by nilyank 2 Link to comment
