Mayhem at the Metro Court

OP what the fuck are you yammering on about?

Previous thread, which is locked now:

I'm confused.

If only Peter and Franco could die in a murder suicide.

[quote]I'm confused.

Did you see Friday's show? It ended with someone smacking Peter up side the head with a crowbar or tire jack in the stairwell at the MC. The camera panned up and it was Franco. Then next week's previews showed Franco at his old art studio saying menacing things to what one assumes was Peter, now being held captive.

Does Tristan like big black cock? He’s claiming he was hacked. Yeah, like Doug Davidson was ‘hacked’ last year.

And Nellie Branco is still whining that a soap actor punxhed him out years ago and Nellie now wishes he had pressed charges. Drama drama drama.

Dumb Dylan keeps posting on the GH thread at SON and then deleting his post because he’s an IDIOT. Has Vee, who is in the biz, checked him recently?

I’m in constant amazement at what an expert Vee is in everything! Not only is he in the biz, but he runs all 4 remaining daytime soaps plus he manages to be THE expert on covid, politics and watching reruns of Blossom. Where does he find the time???

Vee, who is in the biz, has influenced recent Dem votes in Congress.

Team TR

I'd be more surprised if there was a soap actor who didn't have BBC videos on their phone.

Please don’t feed the trolls.

Vee highjacked TR’s social media accounts. Vee knows ALL passwords because’s he’s in the biz and loves bbc.

I guess the hacking thing is real:

[quote]@tristanrogers To everyone, yes I was royally hacked. Thanks for your patience.

Curious, indeed.

Tristan likes black cock sex. Wes saw to it. Laura was right in there. Such drama amongst GH actors. What a sick shit show. Why isn’t Valentini handling all the shit that goes on? There’s a PR nightmare happening at GH and no one seems to be doing anything about it. The best of GH is behind the scenes rather than in front of our screen. Nightmare!

Dear Nellie Branco - I’d have punched you out, too!! Happily!

Can somebody put a note on the Tan-O thread that we've moved here now?

Thanks!

Has their been any fallout from Ingo and Mo laughing about how much they hate NLG?

Of course there is no fallout. Frankie V has no balls.

The show is back to being almost unwatchable. Peter vs. Franco is the least interesting thing ever. Can't they both be killed off?

So basically Franco doesn't know how to tie a knot. I guess we have no hope of getting rid of Peter.

See ABC @ r20 ? My fans miss me when I'm not on the show every day!!

I want to console Chase when he finds out his big bro’ slept with him mom. Why does Willow always look like she smells Wiley’s dirty pull-ups?

That stupid ugly fuck Alan sarapa thinks he’s the know all gossip of soap news. What a fucken moron. Ugly idiot.

Is Franco really dead dead?

r25 I want to believe!

So, not only did Franco fail to tie up Peter properly, he also didn't remove the bullets from Peter's gun when he had the chance. This was basically a suicide.

Yeah, he’s really really dead. #Yeahright

RH on Franco's "death."

If it was a set up, Franco would have to be wearing a kevlar vest (with blood squibs) and Liz would have felt that during chest compressions. Unless she was in on it, too, and the accusing Jason part was a means of getting Peter complacent while they work on bringing him down.

I think Franco is dead but RoHo is returning as another character. Liz being in on Franco faking his death doesn’t make sense to me. She didn’t know what was happening at that studio before she arrived. Also, blaming Jason makes no sense. I get she’s in shock but the guy wouldn’t kill Franco, call 911 and then hang around. LOL.

Is he going to still be Franco or revert back to Todd? Maybe Todd goes to the Tan-O and since he is a press baron he recognizes Sonny, the famous mobster.

Your scenario is plausible, R32. Also, as a publisher, they could have him come to Port Charles with a business proposition for either Aurora Media or, more likely, The Invader.

Stupid to ‘kill off’ Franco but keep Howarth around. No wonder soaps keep bleeding viewers.

Franco had time to switch to blanks in Peter's gun and wear blood squibs. He also could have intentionally done a poor job of tying him up. It could have all been a test to see if Peter would actually shoot Franco.

They didn't show us all of what Franco could have told Liz as we was "dying" and they were alone. Liz could now be accusing Jason knowing the charges will never stick to him.

Howarth is so bored and above it all, his Franco mocks every scene partner he has, including Liz and Cam. Can't stand him.

But, still, take Wes Ramsey first.

Still, it doesn’t make sense that Liz would be in on it but this is GH after all. I just think it’s stupid to keep the guy on. Like R36 said, he’s clearly bored. And they’ve written Franco into a corner as Mr. Mom. They should’ve had his tumor revert him back to the original character.

And how stupid of Frank to let Howarth spill to SOD that he’s returning.

Enter Todd Manning with Star, Jack, Blair and Tia close behind.

MURIEL!!!!!!

I would love to have Todd, Tea and even Blair. Starr, not so much but I'd be okay with it. Besides, KA probably still can't walk right from her time with the DOD. Most of all I'd want Todd to bring Viki. Maybe they can both come to bid on whichever paper Todd might want to buy, stealing from R33's good idea.

Is Wes Ramsey leaving too or is that just twitter speculation?

OLTL characters are NOT coming to GH. For fucks’ sake, stop being so stupid!!!

If the AMC reboot proves to be successful, maybe Mark and Kelly will pitch a OLTL reboot. I wonder if Miss Katherine Glass is available.

He’s about to come back as Drew. Silly never should have been Franco. I would have taken RH as an AJ Q recast. Or Valentin Cassadine.

Don’t get why these male actors keep getting pointless characters...enough with Michael Easton and Roger Howarth...write a real character on this show with staying power or cut your loses. Yet we don’t get another version of a Sarah J Brown or Tamara Braun character!!!

Valentini is past his prime. He has no backbone and is repeating himself Bye bye.

R45 James Patrick Stewart is the best actor on the show, (or possibly tied with Jeff Kober). They propel the performances of every actor they share scenes with. When he leaves, I leave.

[quote]James Patrick Stewart is the best actor on the show,

Could not agree more! He's done so much with what have turned out to be a one-dimensional villain.

Dumb Dylan and Vee are the brains behind the AMC reboot. Vee is in the biz, you know.

There’s a rumor Howarth was offered a role on the AMC reboot.

Trying to keep an open mind about the AMC reboot, but On paper, it sounds like it will be dreadful. Take the least interesting family units, the Kanes and the Santoses, and give the show a really dark tone, which was just the opposite of why AMC was so successful in its heyday. What are Ripa and Consuelos thinking? Let these shows stay dead with a little dignity intact.

R49 Could make sense, especially if they have him play Todd. The premise of the new show is that a journalist comes to town to uncover the secrets. Todd ran a tabloid in Llanview, which is supposed to be the larger city next door and the shows were known to cross over. And it was Blair's cousin Paul Cramer who switched Bianca's baby.

Look, I understand Jason doesn't like dealing with the cops, but why not just be truthful and say, "I heard Franco was looking for me, so I went to his art studio and found him shot and lying in a pool of blood."?

William Lipton, wow. That kid does emotion really well. His crying scene when Liz told him Franco was dead was gut wrenching. So authentic.

It’s all so stupid cuz Franco isn’t dead.

All those amazing OLTL characters and GH doesn't lift a finger to incorporate them to PC---except the occasional Nora B. visit. Watching Vicki (Nicki) run around town trying to seduce Brando and Jax would be way more interesting than the slop they are dishing out now.

Chad Brannon seems kind of hot for his Daddy Son scenes on GH. If only Cameron could act.. Course, if Chad could act, maybe GH wouldn't have fired him.

Lipton needs acting classes. He’s terrible.

I don't get the idea that Cam can't act. He is a very good actor for a teen.

No, he isn’t R58

Did Lipton get fired? I thought he was pretty good. Certainly better than the other teens on the show. Not as good as the glory days of Jonathan Jackson and Amber Tamblyn though.

Cameron cannot act, or play straight. He comes off as the gay best friend to these chicks in 90% of his scenes. He has been on the show for almost 3 years and STILL this is the best he can do? This video link is from just 2 weeks ago. He has shown zero improvement..

R61 I see nothing wrong with that clip. And, he doesn't seem "gay" either, or are you one of those people who thinks "straight" guys all act stoic like Jason. Few teen actors are seasoned and he hasn't had the best writing, but I've seen ALOT worse ones than him, especially on most cable teen shows.

Yeah I don’t think he’s that bad. He doesn’t have chemistry with either actress but I don’t think he comes off as gay either.

It’s weird how GH has done away with real teen romances. I know they have 3000 people in the cast so maybe there’s just no time to develop them but it used to be a really big part of every soap.

R62 = Jason can't act either. I think feminine guys like Cameron are gay. The reason he isn't in a teen romance is because, like Tom Holland, he has no chemistry with any girl they pair him with. It's interesting that the feminine acting guys (Oscar, Rave, Dev, Trey) all get axed but not Cameron. He is lucky they cast him as a Webber.

R64 Have you been around any teens lately? They all behave in a way you would consider "feminine." He comes across as a average teen guy, not overly fem nor masc.

I hope Lipton goes off to school and never comes back. He can’t handle soap acting.

How many more years will Maxie be pregnant?

R67 = She is so bloated now I think she can carry off triplets all the way to X-Mas. I always like it when she takes "time off" so I can see a different actress do something interesting with the character. I cannot believe they wrote off Lulu but kept Maxie.

There must be some legal way for TPTB to get rid of the Maxie actress even with her personal issues. They had no problem strangling to death the Sabrina actress after she had two back to back pregnancies and maternity leaves.

I don't think Lipton is terrible, but he leaned so far into his reaction to the Franco news, Herbst looked completely exasperated, and I thought she might slap him.

That Lipton scene should be shown in acting classes - how NOT to act.

r70 Yeah, he was doing way too much.

I haven’t watched in a while so I had no idea just how bad Kristen Storms looks these days. Is this because she’s sober? Her ex Brandon is still hot

The people claiming Lipton was overacting in that scene must have never experienced a sudden, shocking death of someone you love. Grief isn't pretty. Plus, he's a kid; their emotions aren't as regulated.

R74 It was embarassing. Bad acting.

Is Lezlie Charleson still top billed?

Lipton needs a coach but I think a lot of it is he makes this face and convulses during crying scenes. Sam thing happened when Dev died. I think he has chemistry with the Trina actress but they seemed to have cut that for Cam and Joss.

I actually think Franco is dead, dead.

And R56, I think Chad was pretty great as Zander. I never considered him a bad actor.

r74 I have, and I didn't buy it. His scene today at the end was better though.

Why won't Frank fly Slee across the country to be on the show on a recurring status? She'd make a great nuAudrey. Liz needs her grandmother!

Sorry, but the Scooby gang sneaking through the hospital so Cam and Liz could end up crying in the morgue next to Franco's corpse was a little embarrassing. Actually, today's entire episode was cringe.

Seriously. Why the hell aren't those girls doing eight balls and taking turns on the stripper pole to finance their habit? Kids today are so unmotivated.

What was that green stuff on Maxie's face? Was it bad makeup? How could the director let something so distracting as that get by?

Maybe the color tract is just off on my television, but I've never seen that on the face of anyone else before.

So the Tan-O is located in Nixon Falls.

No doubt that name came from Agnes Nixon.

That certainly hints that some of Nixon's characters may show up.

They've been playing with us for too long, leaving us hoping to catch a glimpse of a Llanview resident. It's becoming cruel.

Nobody under the age of 75 cares about OLTL. The same for AMC. The only reason that show is getting a reboot is because Lucci is still a celeb and the Consueloses can't let go of it.

I don't need or want any OLTL characters showing up. There are already way too many characters as is.

I want to see Victoria Sleestack! Now.

r87, I think you mean Erika Slezak, who played Viki.

Vee will not allow any Nixon characters on this show. He refuses to sign off on it. Vee is in the biz, you know.

Another poster told Vee to F off at SON, but Errol is scared because of Vee’s connections and he knows everything about everything. Vee is the expert of everything. He’s in the biz, you know.

Khan at SON is a virgin loser who lives with his mom. What a loon

William Lipton is no longer on contract. Wonder if it was his choice or TPTB.

Either way, it's the best thing for him not to be on contract now. He's approaching his prime years of getting higher profile acting roles.

I agree. The girl who plays Jocelyn needs to the ride this soap thing until the wheels fall off. She will be a great soap actress. Lipton and the girl who plays Trina need to move on as quickly as they can, they are going to be stars.

This Sonny story is awful.

[quote][R87], I think you mean Erika Slezak, who played Viki.

Calling her "Viki Sleestack" is a DL tradition that goes back years.

We LOVE Viki Sleestack!

Could someone please answer the question about what was that shit on Kirsten Storms' face?

Bad makeup and meth face R97.

Doesn't meth make you skinny?

Years ago she was extremely skinny and gaunt in the face back when she was on and off the show.

R100 Damn, I'd forgotten that, she really needs to find somewhere between the two extremes. Neither, whale nor skeleton looks good on her.

[quote]Could someone please answer the question about what was that shit on Kirsten Storms' face?

I think it was a ham-handed attempt at contouring to make her chubby face appear thinner. Instead, her coloring looked ashen and sickly. The makeup artist they had that day was not a very good one. I noticed several of the women were wearing the same weird orange eye shadow, but the only one it worked on was Jordan, with her orange dress and darker tones.

Vee had the makeup staff fired. He’s in the biz, you know.

What about Swickard’s big emotional scene upon learning his brother is really his dad? He makes Lipton look like Daniel Day-Lewis.

[quote]What about Swickard’s big emotional scene upon learning his brother is really his dad? He makes Lipton look like Daniel Day-Lewis.

Aw, c'mon. Give the kid a break. This is probably the only drama coach he could afford:

Vee signed off on everything. It ‘s not my fault! It’s Vee’s!!!!! He knows EVERYTHING!

But he sure is pretty R104

Aren't Swickard and Mealor from Y&R best bros?

R108 They are straight. Get it. Straight.

Vee knows everything about soaps and politics!!,! Vee is the expert on everything!,!!!

R82, R102 -- The make-up, or lighting, or both, were horrible last week. With caked-on foundation and dark circles under their eyes, they *all* looked like ghouls. It was very weird.

William Lipton must have gotten a movie role that required him to have a crew cut and got GH to write the haircut into the show.

There was no reason storywise for Cam to "shave" his head when the person he was doing it for was going to be killed off two weeks later.

[quote] Trying to keep an open mind about the AMC reboot, but On paper, it sounds like it will be dreadful

I just read something that Susan Lucci and Alicia Minshew are doing a faith based show (it's a few episodes), along with Terri Conn

William Lipton cannot act. And we all saw Jonathan Jackson (Lucky Spencer) have a zilch career in Hollywood. He is worth less than 3 million after being in the business for 30 years--and HE can act and has multiple Emmys. Jonathan finally ended up doing Nashville and then the offers stopped. William Lipton is going to end up doing an OnlyFans for money--he sure isn't going to have a career in the business.

Maxie, Laura and Cyrus will be competing in Kelly's St. Patrick's Day hot dog eating contest.

GH is re-casting Spencer Cassadine (he is going to be aged to an older teen), who will interact with Joss. That little kid they had playing Spencer was super feminine and super creepy. I don't have alot of hope for the casting because this is the same show who casts GirlyBoys Trey, Oliver, Rafe, and Cameron--none of whom are still at GH.

Vee from SON, who’s in the biz, had final approval on the recasting of Spencer. Vee is in the biz, you know.

Lipton was beyond horrible in the scenes where he learned Franco died. Bad bad bad acting. As a viewer, we’re not supposed to laugh LOL at dramatic scenes.

I can see Lipton ending up on some teen ensemble show. I think he’s more into singing anyway.

And R112 I think GH actually asked him to buzz his hair.

[quote]That little kid they had playing Spencer was super feminine and super creepy.

And I loved that about him. He was also super funny. Unfortunately, puberty seems to have messed with his mojo.

Uncle Frank was creepy around the awful kid who played Spencer.

I fucking hate Ava counseling Nina. Oh wait, I hate GH. I guess I just hate watch these days.

Maura West ain’t all that.

Wiley reminds me of when baby Michael ate the show.

Why hasn't Frank asked Triscuit to join? Did he shave his surprisingly hairy legs?

How old is MB's son? I hope he doesn't demand his son be new Spencer...

Jonnysbro, Jerry, and VanessaReardon will soon be making a glorious returns to SON. This is the soap opera that I cannot wait to see!

OMG, is that Jonnysbro from the old Media Domain OLTL board? I think I actually used to like his posts.

Vee, who’s in the biz, is blocking Johnnysbro’s return. Fuck u Vee.

Jonny loves Jean Passanante and Shelly Altman. It used to piss off the SON regulars. Especially Vee, who is in the biz and politics at the same time and is the #1 expert on everything soaps and the DC scene.

Who is the lame ass queen who keeps posting about Vee? It must be tiresome even for those who are actually in on the joke. Enough!

Vee, who is in the biz, knows everything about everything.

I have no idea who or what Vee is. I assume it's an inside DL thing and there is not such thing or person as Vee. Eventually I either get the DL joke or just learn to ignore it.

Vee, are you here? Show yourself! Tell Soapsudz to stop whacking off to 20 year old twinks!

Anyways...

how has Nancy survived so long if Mo hates her?

Maybe that's why it's been more than 15 years since Sonny and Alexis have any sort of major storyline together

Why does Mo hate Nancy? She's the best actress on the show.

Mo doesn’t hate her. They’re actually pretty close. IR is the one who hates her.

Bachelor Uncle Nate sure liked to hang out with Spencer. Lots of pix of them together.

In the Link------>>"Ryan Paevey took Nicolas Bechtel out for his birthday & gave Nicolas a ring that matched the one he has".......Well that sounds. sweet"?

YT Video Clip of Spencer queening it up with "bachelor" Nate.

Puberty has not been kind.....

Better question: how has Nancy survived so long? No slight to her acting talent, but she's over 60 in a medium that doesn't treat that kindly anymore.

Nancy reads younger and she must do well with the focus group. Finola, Genie, Laura, and Maura are no spring chickens either.

NLG has a pretty big fanbase.

Isn’t Nancy 2nd only to Laura Wright as Lead Actress? There aren’t exactly many roles for a woman her age.

Laura Wright hasn't aged a day since her time on Loving.

I can't believe they did this to Nancy

I didn't know Ingo was such a dick

Awful awful reason to bring Zander back. The kid who plays Cam cannot act. Cringeworthy! Zander looks great, by the way.

Is the Zander actor the one that Jacob Young was caught with?

Oh FFS. Jacob Young is straight. He was not ‘caught’ with another actor. And Chad Brannon is straight. Stop the wannabee rumors you old queens.

Ok, I can't exactly remember what happened, because I wasn't watching regularly at the time, but remember when Carly was with Franco and defended his past crimes(one of which was the RAPE OF HER SON), just because she thought he was Jason's twin. They all forgave her.

Yet, the same people have given Elizabeth hell for loving Franco and blaming his crimes on his tumor. Even though a tumor is a much better reason to dismiss old crimes rather than him being someone's "twin." Also, has anyone ever told Jason, since his return about Carly and Franco's relationship?

Was that a new Jake or did old Jake have a growth spurt?

What do we know about Donnell?

I only watched this for Donnell, can not stand MB.

How Elizabeth is still on GH is beyond astounding....No talent.

[quote]Yet, the same people have given Elizabeth hell for loving Franco and blaming his crimes on his tumor. Even though a tumor is a much better reason to dismiss old crimes rather than him being someone's "twin." Also, has anyone ever told Jason, since his return about Carly and Franco's relationship?

In my opinion the biggest issue with GH has always been it's weird morals. You can't make a mobster and a hit man the leads of a show and then have these levels of evil. I thought it was silly to make Roger Howarth, Franco and I'm not sure what they were thinking, but in the grand scheme of things Franco is no more evil than Sonny or Jason.

It was kind of like when the show decided that Scotty Baldwin was going to be a bad guy. His wife left him for her rapist. He hated Sonny because of what Sonny did to his daughter.

And let's talk about the number of mobsters who have gone up against Sonny and Jason over the years. Why are they evil, but Sonny and Jason aren't.

GH is so weird.

It's not just weird -- it's unhealthy. Glorifying rapists, mobsters, and hitman sends a terrible message. Anyone whose life has been harmed by rapists and other criminals is insulted by this twisted way of storytelling.

Wasn't it Franco who helped Jason The Great rescue Carly from that mental hospital where she was being held captive or something like that. Did either Jason or Carly ever even thank him? I doubt it.

If Franco is really dead I find it sad for the kids and Liz and even him as he was trying to be a good person in his own boring way.

I know Howarth is coming back but Franco might be really dead. The only character, besides Todd, that I would like to see Howarth play is Drew and get back with what's her face, Oscar's mother. I think they had chemistry. Then again I really, and I know I stand almost alone, liked the original Drew but what I liked best about him was his relationship with Franco so Franco being dead would screw that up too.

Yeah, it's weird that Carly has made no mentions at all of her and Franco 's relationship. Such as "I used to think I was in love with him" or something like that.

When does the influx of OLTL characters begin? My wish list includes Erika Slezak (Viki), Robin Strasser (Dorian), Jerry ver Dorn (Clint), Bob Woods (Bo), Erin Torpey (Jessica), Andrea Evans (Tina), Kassie DePaiva (Blair), Melissa Archer (Natalie), and Dan Gauthier (Kevin).

Sonny doped up Karen to keep her stripping at his club....When did Sonny ever pay for that?....Never...

RoHo said in SOD interview he is back taping in April but he doesn't know what character he is playing.

He also sung the praises of every person he has worked with on OLTL, GL, ATWT and GH INCLUDING Michelle S.t.a.fford who he called "amazing, surprising and compassionate". The lie about MS makes me think he's also lying about not knowing what character he will be playing when he returns.

R162 Glad, he seems to like his coworkers unlike many on the GH set.

Of course he knows who he is playing. Someone like Howarth with his years and clout would be pitched, at the very least, the bones of his new storyline. This isn't the old days of soap.

The fact that Roger Howarth is not saying who he is playing , clearly means he is recasting (again). Jimmy Lee Holt? Stefan Cassadine? Logan Baldwin?. Julian Jerome?.....I'm sure it will be a lousy choice, unless its Todd Manning.

He could play back from the dead Drew Cain.

[quote] And Chad Brannon is straight

I looked up his instagram page and he bought on the water in Malibu

Where did get all that money from? I checked his IMDB page and he hasn't worked that much over the years to be able to afford that. Maybe his wife is from a rich family. They have 4 kids.

"Jacob Young is straight."

Thanks for the laugh!

R155 is a Jasam stan.

R153 That was the same Jake.

Is that little tramp Bobbie Spencer still causing trouble for Laura and Scotty Baldwin?

[quote]Wasn't it Franco who helped Jason The Great rescue Carly from that mental hospital where she was being held captive or something like that. Did either Jason or Carly ever even thank him? I doubt it.

He rescued the City of Port Charles from bankruptcy after that whole fracking disaster with Jim Harvey and nobody ever mentions that, either.

The kid who plays Cam can’t act.

They tried everything in the book to make Franco likeable. It never worked.

R173 = Cameron can't act straight either..He is also one of those guys who thinks since he can play a guitar, he can sing. Wrong.

Eden McCoy is a homely girl. Poor thing.

Eden McCoy likes the pussy.

So, Nina needs a break from Port Charles. Is she going over to the “Pennsylvania side of the river” to the Tan-O to visit Phyllis? Look out “Mike.....”. Maybe that will liven up that storyline.

R178 = Yes Nina will be finding Sonny and will be manipulating him for her Carly revenge.... Some rumors say Sonny will fall in love with Nina and marry her. I am betting Carly is going to bed Jason or Jax or Dante right before Sonny shows back up. May Sweeps is going to bring the Sonny Returns Storyline into high gear...

"Sonny will fall in love with Nina and marry her"

Is a marriage certificate with no last name for the groom legal in PA?

Are we still pretending Laura Wright is a good actress?

Lipton is awful.

r181 I'M YELLING AT YOU, YELL AT ME!!!!

Yeah, Wright was particularly bad yesterday and she needs to remove those moles/skin tags that litter her face.

How does Wes eat out Wright’s snatch? It must have moles all over it.

Vee will not let LW do anything. He’s in the biz, you know.

Apparently this Vee person is quite interesting. You should start a thread dedicated to just him.

Vee is an asshole.

I hate to say this, but I think Nina seducing Sonny for revenge on Carly and Jax is a pretty decent idea. I'm sure the writers will fuck it up, but it's very promising.

Do you think Miss Geary will make a return appearance before GH is finally canceled?

I think it’s a good idea too R189 but not looking forward to the fallout with Carly. I’m already exhausted. It’s time to retire the character.

This show is hot garbage. How many times does Anna have to sacrifice herself at the altar of day players? First Peter, now Finn. It's embarrassing.

R180 = You clearly missed Liz and Amnesiac Jakes engagement. He also had no ID or legal status. But that didn't stop GH....

You girls are slipping....Wes Ramsey (Peter) with DL Fave Joseph Gordon Levitt...

David Hayward still coming to town?

When do Larry Wolek and Brad Vernon show up?

FH must hate VI.....I was never a fan of his but even I have to admit his history with Anna (and the fact he is a doctor), makes him perfect for a GH Arc....Course, by the end of GH he was bringing everyone back from the dead (Dixie, Stuart)...

David Hayward and all his machinations could fit right in with GH.

We could learn that his research was funded by Helena and shortly after that, he brings her back to life.

Brando looking particularly fuckable recently.

Irizarry is MAGA. He’s off the list.

Vee has blacklisted VI from every remaining show. He’s in the biz, you know.

Anyways, is Brook Lyn there for Chase (after Willow dumps him for Michael, with Sasha already feeling Brando's heat)? Or is she going to make an unholy alliance with Valentin? Or is Valentin there for Alexis? Or Anna? And are they headed Finn for Elizabeth? And could this mean Rebecca Budig is not too far behind?

And doesn't the baby shift the stock situation, meaning that if Brookie has custody, she could theoretically vote her child's shares to restore a Quartermaine to the ELQ throne?

Why doesn't it surprise me to learn Vincent Irizarry's child went to the Citidal and was involved with the Capital riots on Jan. 6.

They’ve written obviously sped up Brook Lynn’s pregnancy for some baby switch with Maxie’s spawn.

Considering who our OP is signed as, I was most amused when the first words out of Brook Lyn's mouth were "Is it safe?" And, yes, Franco DID have pliers!

When is Erika Slezak's first air date?

She's in the next season of The Bachelor, Rose.

Vee is working on moving production of GH to Connecticut so that It’s more convenient for Sleestack.

Who is Vee? Valentini? Wow moving GH to CT would enable all the OLTL actors to come to GH which everyone and their brother has been clamoring for? Maybe we can even coax Marilyn Chris out of retirement.

R199 You're right. What has he done to make himself actually fuckable.

R209 Wanda Webb needs to come to GH.

Has Frank reached out to Ellen Holly or Joe Gallison?

Vee will not allow Frank to reach out to Ellen. He is in the biz, you know. THE EXPERT ON EVERYTHING.

Vee is so busy being the expert on everything! There is nothing that Vee doesn’t know!

WR is just awful.

New thread prepared for when this one locks up:

If the rumors are true. Allegedly ABC was at one time thinking about shifting the focus of the show more so back to the hospital. ABC decided to conduct a survey and the participants in the survey in a few large tv markets but most especially NYC allegedly told them that they loved the mob stories along with Sonny and Jason and that more focus on hospital stories wouldn't be as interesting to them.

R217 = MBs AGENT.....

Maurice gets me all tingly - down there.

Nope r218. I don't care for either MB or SB.

Oh FFS (R217) . That's some JFP smoke and mirrors. The Sopranos were HBO. Grey's Anatomy was/is ABC. If GH had leaned into the hospital drama, they'd still be having crossovers with GA, and GH would be banking viewers.

GH tried a complete copy of GA with their 2 season Night Shift on SON. It didn't last very long and couldn't help save the cable channel

No one wanted to see Jackie Zeman with her fake face kissing someone. Gross!!!

R222 There were several problems with Nightshift. It was on a cable channel that many people did not have or couldn't find, and there was no real continuity with GH. It was almost like a GH alternate reality.

"Port Charles" was good, and closer to Grey's, as it was about the interns and their mean/stern chief resident (played by Debbi Morgan). Too bad they thought they could capture a younger audience by veering away from the hospital and into "Dark Shadows" territory. I was gone once the vampires showed up (Lucy Coe, vampire slayer!).

Night Shift wasn’t half bad.

It would be so easy to do a GH crossover with Grey's Anatomy. They both shoot on the same lot -- at ABC Prospect Studios in the Los Feliz section of LA.

I'm not liking KD or her character.

We got a Tad reunion in the car with the fried chicken nod to Opal's chicken shack, she can go now.

Opal's Chicken Shack! Here I thought it was a nod to the fans calling him Colonel Tad Martin Grey Sanders. Works on both levels, I guess. Next we'll get Cyrus waxing poetic about the time he spent on the beach in China...

Recasting Jackie was fine....But Kim Delaney isn't great. No doubt she will be gone in six months. And Chase is Kyle Abbotts real life ex---who now seems to have an annoying wife and plays it straight.

There’s something so OFF about Kim Delaney. She’s not right in this role.

How have the ratings been?

Recent ratings are they're up in the 18-49 and 25-54 but down in the 18-34 r232.

Josh Swickard looked better with a beard. Having the character cry into his father's shoulder (when he found out about his real paternity) isn't a great look for a hero character -- although I wouldn't mind being held by Gregory Harrison. (I'd cry too if I found out that Michael Easton was my daddy and not Gregory Harrison.)

R230 No surprise they know each other. They are both the most wooden actors ever on TV. I hate em both with the heat of a trillion...well, you know.

[quote](I'd cry too if I found out that Michael Easton was my daddy and not Gregory Harrison.

Josh Swickard definitely overplayed it in those reveal scenes. I'm surprised Frank, or whoever was directing, didn't pull him aside and tell him to tone it down a few notches.

R236 = Bad actors always think YELLING is good acting. Just ask Cameron Webber while he was screaming a couple of weeks ago. There is a reason Lipton isn't on GH contract anymore and this scene was probably the last straw.

Genie got fat again. Wow.

Genie was never skinny.

Vee has ordered Genie to go back on her Nutrasystem diet. He is in the biz, you know, and the expert of everything like soaps, politics, and especially diets. Did I mention how Vee is in the biz? In the biz! In the biz! In the biz!

Vee should go on a diet himself before mandating that Genie go on one.

Can we F&F this Vee is in the biz troll? She is beyond annoying,

Vee will NOT be ignored!! He’s in the biz, you know. Knows everything about everything. He’s in the biz, you know.

Go. The. Fuck. Away. Cunt. ☝️☝️☝️☝️

Kman101 is another fucking annoying moron at SON. Shut the fuck up, dimwit!

My latest issue of Crimson hasn't arrived yet. Does anyone know what could be the delay?

Vee ordered a delay in production. He’s in the biz, you know. Did you know he’s in the biz?

R246 = Nina is busy this week---->>Finding Sonny and setting up her revenge plan on Carly.......Video Preview...

Attention Whore Andy Cohen once again brags about----Andy Cohen!!!....Apparently he didn't piss off enough people last year when he bragged about "replacing" soaps with the trashy Housewives franchise, so he is at it again....Will Andy be taking over GH next?... Can Dorinda Webber be far behind?

I liked TempBrookLynn better.

Temp Brooklyn was way better than this chick.

Who's Andy Cohen?

R249 In a way he isn't wrong. The "real housewives" are allowed to act OTT and crazy like soaps used to be. But, in the last two decades the outrageousness of soaps have been dialed down, which has made them more boring. There are no more crazy bitches and bastards out to run schemes and cause havoc. Even when one shows up like, Nelle, they have to humanize them by giving them a horrible childhood or something.

R249 = But Andy Cohen taking credit for replacing soaps?. That is a stretch when Housewives viewers are paltry compared to Young+Restless daily viewers. Andy Cohen is saying he replaced a Corvette with a Hyundai---ratings wise. Also Andy always "forgets" they tried to syndicate the Housewives Franchise and it was a ratings disaster. This Wonky Slob is pathetic...

Anyone catch the OLTL shoutout today? Nina said she booked a stay at Serenity Springs.

So, who will turn out to be Phyllis' baby girl that "died?" Jordan, Portia? They kind of dropped that genealogy-ancestry test thing that Aunt Stella started up and convinced them they should all do, maybe that will be resurrected and connect them to Phyllis.

I can see that happening r256 or Sonny thanks them by buying them a bar in PC and they become the resident wise sages everyone goes to.

They’ll probably end up running Charlie’s. The two actors got the Mo stamp of approval in a recent interview so they’ll stick around.

The Charlie's set has likely long been taken apart to make the Tan-O set and Curtis' hip new bar set.

I'm old school GH. Does Elizabeth ever mentioned her beloved great step-aunt, Lucille March Weeks?

I'm hoping Elizabeth is pregnant with a 4th child by a 4th father. She is the heart and soul of Port Charles, after all.

When is Audrey March coming back?

With Sonny "gone", Alexis spiraling, and Elizabeth single, now is the time for Ric to return. Molly needs her dad!

Phyllis's daughter will definitely turn out to be Jordan. Remember when Jordan needed a kidney but there were no immediately family members available? They were very vague. She had to settle for a kidney from a serial killer.

With Ric back, Elizabeth can set a good example by recycling her men. Plus, she hasn't given birth to a child by him yet.

[quote]Phyllis's daughter will definitely turn out to be Jordan. Remember when Jordan needed a kidney but there were no immediately family members available? They were very vague. She had to settle for a kidney from a serial killer.

Good catch! Also, with Phyllis being a nurse, that's a logical way to work her into the PC canvas. Lenny can manage Kelly's or tend bar at Club Curtis. Maybe that Elijah guy will burn down the Tan-O out of spite and leave them no choice but to pull up stakes and relocate.

I am really enjoying Phyllis and Lenny. However they integrate them into the main canvas is OK with me.

R266 It reminds me of OLTL when Vicki went to Paris, TX and brought Moe and Noelle back to Llanview with her.

Why won't Frank cough up the airfare and hotel expenses for Slee to be recurring on GH as Viki, or even as Audrey? Liz needs her grandmother!

I am Audrey March! I will the Face of (Your) Heart!

Are we supposed to want Carly to find out about Sonny?

[quote]Why won't Frank cough up the airfare and hotel expenses for Slee to be recurring on GH as Viki, or even as Audrey? Liz needs her grandmother!

That could actually be a very sweet, albeit utopian, idea.

Carly/Nina ending phone call: we all know the typical GH misunderstanding when the wrong character speaks first: Nina is about to do the right thing and tell Carly the truth, Carly automatically assumes Nina is calling about a custody suit that never was, threatens her, and Nina changes her mind. Thus the start of Nina's revenge storyline.... (how fucking boring!)

Wait and see...Carly is going to sleep with someone right before Sonny returns.....Brando, Jason, Dante, Jax, Valentin Cameron....Its UNoriginal and lazy..PERFECT for GH these days. And of course, she will be pregnant AGAIN. You can never have too many baby daddies, just ask Liz....

It would be great if Laura Wright would start taking annual extended vacations.

R275– it would be great if she just killed herself

R274 Cameron? That would be interesting. Like when Dorian seduced Joey on OLTL.

Cyrus has turned into a parade balloon, floating around Port Charles looking for his mother.

I don't like sniveling Cyrus either.

Putting Sonny and Nina being somewhere near Llanview is simply a painful reminder of the OLTL characters who we grew to love and whom we are now missing. GH should either bring in some Llanview characters or stop giving the audience pain.

R280 Yes. Your mama thought you was a pain when she gave birth to you by pushing you outta her rectum.

Llanview, like Pine Valley, is on the Main Line. Would they even let someone like Sonny in that part of PA?

R282 The appeal of OLTL from the beginning was its mix of ethnicities. Also, there was Angel Square and many gangsters throughout the years, especially Carlo Hesser.
