Dateline Port Charles: Of Missions and Mayhem

Previous thread:

Vee from SON - thank you! There’s nothing that you don’t know!

I tuned out because of the incessant glorifying of gunmen, mobsters, and their screechy/painfully soft speaking molls. Uninteresting. Bad acting by the powerful three. Repetitive.

Previous thread appears to be locked now.

Commence with the in-depth analysis of this fine cultural institution.

R4 - What does any of this have to do with Port Charles?????

Is that Roxy, OP? Or does Roxy have a love interest, away in Vietnam? Is this a Dark Shadows type of storyline where interdimension time travel is going on between animals?

Valentini sucks cock. We’re in the right place.

Maxie keeps saying that she has a plan. Could it actually be a well thought out plan in coordination with BrookLynn's fake baby bump?

Carly is trending on Twitter and it's just everyone talking about what an obnoxious cunt she is. LOL.

[quote]Maxie keeps saying that she has a plan. Could it actually be a well thought out plan in coordination with BrookLynn's fake baby bump?

Like maybe saying their baby was stillborn and then secretly hand it off to BL (who simultaneously "gives birth" out of town) for temporary custody while they both work their cons? What could go wrong!?

duz anybuddy havevthere april sweeps spoilers?

SOD said its April sweeps. Their misteak!!! Leave me alone.

Good lord! Lipton singing?? Awful awful awful.

It feels like LW and WR are on every single day now. Ugh.

R9 Well, she is. She is like an aunt of mine, she always runs her mouth before knowing the situation, and it usually ends up backfiring on her.

GH should work on a cure for Foot-in-Mouth Disease. They'd make zillions in PC alone. But then that would end the show, so...

R14 March 22nd was supposedly the start of nine straight episodes for LW.

Why are all the homosexual males in charge Frank, Dan, Chris still employed????

Vee will not let them go. Vee makes all decisions and is the expert of everything. He’s in the biz, you know.

r17 Oh, joy.

R19 please STOP you insufferable CUNT

r21 which insufferable SON member are you? That idiot John? That twat Dramatist? Eeyore Carl?

R22 I'm just SICK TO FUCKING DEATH reading about FUCKING Vee in the biz, ya know?

If only there was a button we could push.....

R24 lol as for the rest of you, I pressed that button and he just disappears.... (and not in the GH presumed but not really dead way).

Vee came up with clink boom. He’s in the biz, you know.

More Wes! More JpatStu!

[quote] I'm just SICK TO FUCKING DEATH reading about FUCKING Vee in the biz, ya know?

Oh, that demented cunt posts here too? I'm so sorry. I thought it was just a festering twat scab for us at the P&G thread.

I co-sign more JPS.

especially if he's naked

Vee has control over all soaps. He is the expert of EVERYTHING especially politics, weight watchers, and running soap boards. He’s in the biz, you know. In the biz, you hear?!?

Surely they're going to make Martin gay, right?

Valentin is so skinny I don’t get the appeal. Now Julian Jerome that’s a daddy I get!

Is the kid playing Charlotte the same kid as before? Either way she's turned into a beauty, such huge eyes.

So basically they're showing Nina as a good person whose first response was to tell Carly Sonny is alive. But of course Carly was her usual nasty, rotten bitch self and is very deserving of Nina not telling her. I hope Sonny falls for Nina and when he gets his memory back he dumps Carly's ass and stays with Nina. Let Carly have her precious Jason and let them both leave town for good.

I can't believe I miss Franco. WTF!

Since Nina has zero tolerance for men who keep any secrets from her, Sonny would be the perfect man for her

Is there any chance they'll follow thru with their hints and actually turn Charlotte into a Bad Seed? It would be really fun to have that child do incredibly evil things. She could be responsible for someone's death, be another in the long line of GH infamous serial killers, then Valentin knowingly takes the blame. So many possibilities. They never have the guts, though.

Was Thursday's GH a rerun? My DVR of it was. I wonder if there was a fuck up of my cable company or if it was a rerun for everyone and if so, why? Was there a holiday on Thursday that I'm not aware of?

r38 Biden's press conference.

R38 On the east coast, at least, GH was preempted by President Biden's press conference.

Thank you R39 and R40. I didn't realize since by the time I got around to watching it today I forgot all about Biden.

But we did miss the Thursday show right?

Not sure. It sorta has that feeling especially since we missed Kevin actually working with Dante. But, they sometimes make such skips anyways so I'm not sure.

Episodes posted on ABC.com skipped Thursday, but the numbering goes from 122 on Wednesday to 123 on Friday. I wonder if Jon Lindstrom was busy elsewhere, making it necessary for the Dante/Kevin therapy session to take place off-screen.

Well, Kevin must be the best shrink in the world to "cure" him of something that was so ingrained into his brain in just one session.

Behold the power of La Mama Italiana!

R45, I thought it was Sam's magical whispering that undid all those months of professional brainwashing.

Why is the bar called the Tan-O?

Nina has her hooks on Sonny.....I predict another little Corinthos will be on the way in 9 months...By the way, Sonny slept with his divorce lawyer and then she disappeared...You know that's another long lost kid waiting to appear too....

Will Nina wed "Mike" before returning to PC?

Will Britt actually break off a piece of Stone Cold?

Will Cyrus battle Maxie over which one gets to eat her newborn baby??

R34 She is. She's grown and her hair has gotten darker.

Michael visited Jason in prison...The same Prison Michael was raped in. Just sayin'. For someone "so traumatized" he sure doesn't have a problem going back.

[quote]Will Cyrus battle Maxie over which one gets to eat her newborn baby??

Someone must have seen "Salo."

[quote] Will Britt actually break off a piece of Stone Cold?

I hope so. I actually like them together. She seems to actually bring out something almost human in him, in ways that neither Sam nor Carly does. Also, Sam is better with Dante than she has been with Jason since his return.

Jason/Sam and Sonny/Carly are both so played out that I'd like to see the characters with anyone else.

For me, Britt has become one of the only characters worth watching. Every actor seems better when in a scene with her, even Maxie. I hope they don't kill her off.....and I'd like to see her in some kind of storyline with Valentin. I think they play really well together, (just not romantically).

GH has become boring after Feb sweeps where they blew their wad.

Liesl speaking for the audience in her disappointment that Peter's not dead.

Is it me or is Peter becoming easier to hate by the day. I can't believe they're not setting him up to be killed off. I mean everyone will cheer. Even Jason is easier to tolerate.

It doesn’t help that he’s on everyday either. Not to mention WR has gotten even worse. It’s like watching a cartoon villain.

It's like TPTB are defying what the viewers are begging for by making Peter even more front burner every week. Valentini did the same thing with the Morasco fiasco on OLTL.

At least the show is finally realizing that WR as a romantic lead is a complete failure. The past month seems to be his audition as a show villain, it's somewhat better, but pales in comparison to other show villains.

What more can he do than killing off Franco and poor Drew? I just want him gone! He is not even a good actor, nevertheless a good character.

And now LW and WR are on again tomorrow, together! Yay!

Is it only obvious to me they are setting up Peter's murder with a long list of suspects? (Carly, Jason, Elizabeth, Liesl, Anna, Finn, even Maxie).... or .....somehow Franco really isn't dead, and he comes back and murders Peter. (Isn't Howarth still under contract?)

R65 Hell you could throw in a few more suspects. Sam, or even Monica, could be possibilities because he killed Drew. They could even come out of left field and have Dr. Kim Nero return to town and do the honors. Or if Robin Mattson wanted to make a return, she could break out of the mental institution, just to kill him in revenge over killing both her beloved Franco and their cousin Drew.

I think he’s about to murder Gladys.

R67 So add Brando to the list. His mom might be a bitch, but she's still his mom.

I love Gladys. The way she grates Carly is hilarious.

Is the plan Anna and Carly cooked up to have Valentin romance Gladys, knowing she'll eventually brag or spill the beans about her role in framing Jason? That could be amusing.

^^Couldn't he just kill her?

Johnny Wactor is looking good as Brando these days.

Seems to have put on a little bit of weight because his face looks a bit fuller. But he looks better with those few extra pounds.

Seems to have had a facial since his skin looks better.

Got his hair straightened because the curly hair on top is gone. Or maybe he just grew it out a bit more and lost the curls in the process.

Whatever he did, the results look good.

Please let Peter die!

May Sweeps Rumors:

'A 30+ year veteran exits.'

'A "Whodunnit" but the victim is not who you think.'

It is being speculated that the veteran is Tristan and that LW's boyfriend continues to be gainfully employed at GH. If true, very disappointing on both counts.

I'd find it disappointing to have Robert leave the show while I'm still stuck in my one room prison cell

Much more than “very disappointing” especially after TR rightfully called out everything wrong with the Peter character and WR being miscast in the role. I’m hoping it’s just a rumor regarding a longtime vet but I don’t see Peter leaving anytime soon. Or, knowing FV, he’ll get rid of Peter and keep WR around.

Didn't Alexis get sentence to 3 years prison. Maybe she's the veteran to exit (temporarily)

R71 Valentin is rich and attractive, why would he ever romance Gladys?

Does Finola know that Ian Buchanan is a gay?

Has it been confirmed that Todd Manning is coming back? Does that mean Star is coming back? Will they put Todd and Carly back together?

R80 Todd is the only pairing of Carly's I've liked in at least a decade.

NLG is a 25 year veteran.

Another rumor is that Willow is the one who dies in keeping with the all of Michael's girlfriends must die tradition.

I don't think Gladys getting killed would be a major story since no one will care.

Maybe it's time Michael starts to seek "comfort* from men.

Michael is not gay.

[quote]Has it been confirmed that Todd Manning is coming back? Does that mean Star is coming back? Will they put Todd and Carly back together?

Just to update my own post. Just learned that ABC rejected Todd returning. They no longer want to showcase characters connected to rape. This is one of the reasons why Franco had to go.

Please don't let him be Drew. That stunt was an epic fail, it felt forced and hollow. And that idiotic accent.

Was watching MSNBC this morning and saw that one of the contributors, Kurt Bardella has the recent book by Maurice Bernard prominently displayed on his bookcase backdrop.

So is GH never going to mention Luke Spencer again? And for the record, isn't Jason a mob hitman who has murdered countless times and Sonny is a mobster? So the line gets drawn at rape, but murder is A OK?

Even if Peter is killed, (which they definitely are setting up), he'll stay on contract because we'll have months of flashback scenes leading up to his murder. Then in 3 months or so, the scene where it's finally revealed "whodunnit"......

Then a few weeks after that, (in general GH tradition), either he'll turn out to not really be dead, or the twin no one ever knew existed shows up. (OMG - did Anna have that child with Faison after all????). How is it possible that 2 identical twins could give birth to two identical twins? GH will figure out how!

They've barely mentioned Luke since the day he left the show. Looks like they're not going to start now.

Even if TG wanted to come back for a few appearances, seems like the answer would be don't call us, we'll call you.

I still think Roger wanted out as Franco. He was bored.

R85 Didn't Sonny technically rape Karen?

If you wanted to get into the murky issue of whether consent is truly possible while under the influence, half the town could technically be considered rapists.

On a lighter note, it looks like Scotty and Liesl are about to embark on some drunken sexy time!

I'm really disappointed about no Todd. Not so much for Todd but I was hoping for all that could have come with him like Viki, Tea, Blair maybe some others. Hell, I'd have put up with Starr to have Viki. Oh well, so they are going to give RH and even more boring run of the mill character and he will phone it all for laughs, collect his huge paycheck and still not do a real day's work.

R93 IIRC Karen was underage and Sonny was giving her the drugs. Which is far different than a drunken hookup.

R85 It's a rumor, Daytime Confidential is sometimes right about rumors but often they also aren't.

How many long lost children can Scott have that are then murdered?

Enough.

Give Monica some children back too.

So depressing.

R97 Didn't the show retcon the vampire stuff? If so, Karen should still be alive.

The kid who plays Cameron gets worse as time goes on. Time for him and Joss to go off to college.

I read Sean Blakemore {Shawn Butler} is coming back. Need him in wife beaters and tight t-shirts please.

Agree about Cameron actor, awful over acting. The Jake kid was good yesterday.

The teens on the show now have a tougher time. When JJ was on the show, he had more rehearsal time and better actors as mentors.

Cameron just needs better scene partners and a new acting coach.

I don't understand y'all say the Cameron kid overacts but then the Ridge actor was wooden. No pleasing y'all bitches

WDV told a fan on Twitter yesterday that Roger isn’t back as Franco or Todd.

Could Roger be playing:

Steven Lars?

Lucky?

Rick Jr.?

I hope he’s aj

Yeah, Cameron has been awful lately.

It doesn't matter who RH plays he's going to be 2000 - 2003 Todd, 2003 till it went off the air Paul Ryan, Todd till OLTL went off the air and the Internet, Todd on GH and Franco/Drew on GH. He has never played anything different only sometimes with a little more goofy than others. The 1994 - 1998 real acting has been gone for 21 years. I don't know what happened to him between when he left OLTL in 1998 and when he came back in 2000 but whatever it was seems to have taken his talent away.

Oh my God, Eden is acting more like LW than ever. It was eerie today. The shouting.

I noticed that yesterday too R108. She literally mimics her in scenes. Same mannerisms and everything.

And agreed R107. He’ll be doing his usual goofy clown act. And this new character will soak up all kinds of airtime too.

Don't you think he just gave up when he realized that most of his success was going to come from soap work and not primetime and film?

Maybe Howarth is going to play Victor Lord Jr?

I think RoHo will have to play someone not in Liz's orbit, so maybe a long lost or recast Q?

Or maybe he's someone who lives on the the "PA side of the river" and he found Nelle when she washed up on shore and is nursing her back to health. He wouldn't have to interact with anyone in PC for awhile.

I'm just spitballing...

[quote]I read Sean Blakemore {Shawn Butler} is coming back.

Hmm, that might explain why Alexis had to go to Pentonville, as opposed to court-ordered rehab, which would have been the more sensible sentence. No doubt they'll bump into each other in the prison library and once she's heard his story, she'll find holes galore, prompting her to get Diane in on it. Or Molly's law class could take it on as Innocence Project type thing.

I think Sean’s return is for Jason. And I think RoHo’s new character will probably be connected to Peter.

Is Eden that chipmunked girl? Terrible actress.

So what will the excuse for KS be after Maxie gives birth?

I think the extra #s keep KS off the smack.

[quote]I think Sean’s return is for Jason

If Sean somehow manages to get released, I don't think he would risk his hard won freedom to go right back to working for the Corinthos Family. Not to mention that would violate parole. And since parolees can't carry weapons, private security for Carly is out of the question, too. I see him more likely working at Curtis' bar (he used to run Kelly's) and spending time re-bonding with TJ, though. Maybe even rekindle some romance with Jordan now that Curtis seems to be heading towards Portia.

Mikey Weber -- Rick and Ginny's adopted son.

Wow, GH is beefing up its black cast members. Days is doing the same thing right now.

Smart of GH to bring back old black characters who already have connections to the canvas.

I wish they'd bring back Gia. Trina should been Gia and Nik's son.

Why did RH leave OLTL in 2003? I always heard that he never liked playing Todd and only stayed until he got offered another regular gig, which was Paul on ATWT. I mentioned that once on the IMDB boards when they still existed and everyone there said that wasn't true.

Howarth could work as a recast AJ. At least would have logical ties to the canvas. If he’s someone new he should be tied to a family. Please don’t have him be Drew!!!

Hate how they kept bringing in Michael Easton as separated from the canvas characters. Then they do backflips to bring in new family members and force ties.

[quote] If he’s someone new he should be tied to a family. Please don’t have him be Drew!!!

If he was Drew, he would be tied to a family, as he would be a Q. But, I do think he would be a better AJ, as he is best as a powerful yet morally questionable businessman. Which is what Todd became.

How do you retcon AJ's murder? I'm not saying it's impossible, just how do you do it? I don't think GH has a Dr. Rolf.

I liked RH's Drew with Kim better than Franco and Liz. I'd be okay with him as Drew if they brought back Kim, at least if he put a tiny bit of effort into the part and didn't clown it up.

Who was involved with Carly, Todd or Franco? If it was Franco was Todd romantically involved with anyone during his short time on GH. I do remember he took Sam's baby and gave it to Tea but that's really the only thing of Todd on GH that I remember. Personally I think the kid would have been better off with Tea. She should have left town with it, never to be seen or heard from again. Then Sam would have no tie to Jason and we could have been saved years of that Sam/Jason shit.

R126 Carly had romantic pairings with both Todd and Franco.

Thank you R127. Boy that Carly does get around.

R128 She is actually much better and interesting when she is with anyone BUT Sonny. Which is why I don't understand why TPTB seem to keep pulling them back together.

R129 There are rumors that Bernard has the show destroy Carly's other pairings when they get too popular. When Tamara Braun played the role, he got mad that her pairing with Alcazar was popular, and wouldn't let them pair her with Zander.

R130 I honestly cannot comprehend how or why he is so popular to have obtained such power.

Maurice Benard is the worst actor. How one LOUSY actor keeps stinking up the GH Set is beyond me. They should cut his pay in half and tell him to take it our leave it. No other show is in line to hire that clown and his defective genes. At least Eric Braedan can act but he also refuses to leave YR. Same with Old Man Eric on Bold+Beautiful.

I can't stand MB. His level of control is ridiculous. He's likely behind the demise of Shiloh and Julian. His ego can't stand competition. Drew Garrett was slaying it as Michael. Gone. Does anyone really think Frank wouldn't bring Bryan Craig back as Morgan when he was practically begging? MB probably forced the writers to let Sonny bang Ava in the crypt so he could best his son.

Howarth's constant ham-fisted mugging isn't needed on this show, either.

r119

that would give Laura another sibling on canvas... Laura needs all the family on screen she has

When are we going to see gay action on this show?

Maurice is sexy and gets the most fan mail.

Do fraus want to blow MB? Get fucked by him? Is it akin to the "Luke, rape me!" mentality? He plays a thug.

Maurice Bernard also gets veto power over Michael's storylines!

When Chad Brannon was a cast member there was all kinds of rumors that MB was interfering with his storylines. One story is that he got mad about a soap magazine profile that said that "Zander is a new Sonny" (ie-a hood who becomes a fan favorite) and felt threatened. Though in one of the gossip threads on here, that Bernard is bi, hit on Brannon, and was upset when he was turned down.

MB is bi? Heard SB is bi too. So did Sonny and Jason do the deed off screen? Is that why they seem like better soulmates than Sonny and Carly?

He also has the power to get writers fired.

I hate MB. He has been allowed to ruin GH. MB, LW, SB swallowed GH and they have been shoved down viewers throats . They HAVE to be in every fucking story line. The last time GH was good was when we had Scorpio and Anna, Duke, The Q family, and Tony. It centered around families and the Hospital, not a low rent Sopranos knock off.

That's true, R140 . But, you're killing it over at DAYS. ; )

I'm not one who "ships," but Scott and Dr. O are brilliant together. More, please.

Are they heading for a Laura - Scott - Liesel triangle? That would be campy (rather than soapy) but maybe fun.

Carly is the worst character on GH at the moment. And yes I’m aware that Peter is still around.

Question, do people hate Peter because he is genuinely a badly written character or is it the way the actor got his job?

They don’t acknowledge that Laura considered Rick Weber a father so mike wouldn’t be her sibling on screen.

They ruined Rick with the retcon storyline and it would make Liz and lucky creepy.

Liz and mike Weber may be considered relatives though.

R146, both of those might be overlooked/forgiven if he wasn't a genuinely bad actor.

Hopefully we'll get some Dr. O/Scott/Lucy triangle scenes

Got it! Shawn is released and has plastic surgery to look like roger howarth!

I believe a lot of upset re: Peter came from Anna fans. IIRC retconned so much of her history to make him fit as her son. He’s also a shitty actor with way too much air time and most believe that’s because of LW.

Why does Roger Howarth have to come back as a new character? What happened to make Franco all of a sudden gone as a character? Why does stupid shit like this (multiple new characters for certain actors) even keep happening?

Having said that, probably any character is better than Franco. AJ would be great.

Roger makes my peen hard. I love him.

Will NLG be off-screen for a while?

Nope. She'll next be seen scissoring for pruno and diving for dollars.

MB was said to be behind ending the storyline where Michael was angry at Sonny and wanted nothing to do with him. MB told them that Michael needed be brought back in the fold and stop disrespecting Sonny and Carly especially Sonny.

That is strange to me R156, because it's good drama. Why wouldn't an actor want to play drama like that?

MB gets oddly personal when it comes to Sonny and other characters. I believe he mentioned in his book his issues about writers making characters hate Sonny. He wants to be always be the “good” bad guy.

And I’m not sure why anyone would want AJ back from the dead again. He’d just be a punching bag for Jason and Sonny again. He can stay dead.

I read RH is a recast Julian Jerome...They are the exact same age.

Julian seemed like he could have been Franco's father. In RL they might be the same age but RH looks way younger than his years. He doesn't look like he's had any work done either. I guess he takes good care of himself. Now if only he could still act.

R160 WD looks damn good also

How big is Howarth’s dick?

(162)

(R162)

r159

where did you see that?

RH can be sexy, but no way can he replace sexy Daddy William de Vry. De Vry is the only GH actor who automatically gets my nipples erect.

No way are they bringing him back as Julian.

I always thought Trevor St. John was the "sexy" Todd. RH isn't unattractive, far from it, but he doesn't give you I will fuck you until you can't walk vibes like William de Vry.

True, de Vry does that powerfully. He is the Daddy of them all. Trevor St. John had that "bad boy" attitude, but he didn't bring as much dimension to the role of Todd as Howarth did. St. John was sexy af and a bit threatening, but where were the layers of guilt? Howarth is a much better actor, when he has a mind to it; as for sexy, Howarth has a great butt and, when the pants are tight enough, there's a nice frontal bulge.

Perhaps RH returns as Special Needs Victor, who just happens to drop by the Tan-O for a beer and a bite...stuff ensues...

We won't be seeing any OLTL characters on GH.

ABC is now hoping that the AMC reboot will be a success. No way that's going to happen, but if it does, then they might want to proceed with a OLTL reboot.

I don't see that as automatically precluding the appearance of OLTL characters. If anything, it would be a perfect way to create a little buzz for the new project.

R168 St. John WAS the sexy Todd. Also, his lethal injection execution scenes were some of the most powerful I've ever seen, daytime or primetime.

Jeff Kober(Cyrus) is the main guest on Star Trek: Voyager season 7 episode "Repentance." He is an alien murderer sentenced to die. He is under tons of special effects makeup but the voice is unmistakable.

Oh for fuck’s sake!!!! Vee is controlling everything! He’s in the biz. Expert about EVERYTHING!!!!

WHET Holly? Have they just dropped/forgotten that storyline?

Emma Samms has "long Covid".

Vee has lots of puppets at ABCD and Frank V is one. Vee is in the biz, you know. He knows everything about everything and is the best expert on everything soaps, politics, and running message boards.

R158 MB sounds like a weirdo. Though I never harbored any professional ambitions, I majored in Film, Television and Theater in undergrad and always went out for villain roles. They're the most fun!

Also, people want AJ to return, because it has so much story potential. Of course, you're right that the show would never do anything and he would be a punching bag.

The hottest scene I ever saw on a soap was the online OLTL between TSJ Victor and Tea. She was in her underwear and he put his hand down the front of her panties. I can't imagine RH being willing to do that scene with any actress.

R180 Yeah that was in the slightly looser online revival. I'd die to have TSJ's hand down my underwear.

R180 Did RH do any love scenes on ATWT? He did a pretty tame love scene with Rebecca Herbst on GH and a shirtless scene when he was Todd trying to hit on Carly?

I wish they would bring back Todd Manning. I think it would lessen Maurice Bernard's stronghold on the show.

Yeah, me too R181, lol.

No, R182. What you saw as Todd was what you would have seen as Paul Ryan and then again as Todd and then as Franco. RH seems to have given up acting after 1998 but not the paycheck.

I actually do too R183. As long as they're keeping RH on the show I wish he would come back as Todd because of the hope he would bring some of my favorite OLTL characters with him since the ones I liked best, like Viki, were involved in his story line.

I hated the original Todd and Tea pairing, but she had incredible chemistry with Victor/Todd (Trevor St. Jon).

WHET TSJ?

Cameron Mathison joining GH. Ugh.

Great. Bug eyes to Port Charles.

Is he NuLucas or Liz's brother (since they look alike)?

I think he would be a good Steven

Probably NuDrew.

Cameron Mathison can fuck me up the ass anytime!!

Not nuDrew. SB would never approve an actor who's several inches taller than him playing his twin brother

Could he play his old AMC character? Ryan Lavery and Duke Lavery were established as being cousins, and he and Anna have backstory.

Oh, ick barf. Not Mathison.

Oh, for fucks sake. No one wants this. No one.

This is worse than Michelle Stafford.

Cameron Matheson is a recast deadbeat daddy Lucky Spencer.

r197

he's way too old for that

R198 = They said the same thing about Greg Vaugn when he was Lucky. GV and CM are practically the same age. General Hospital has been trying to recast Lucky for the last couple of months. I really think Cameron is the new Lucky.

Oh dear God not HIM! FFS. Why do they punish us so? I hated him on AMC. That affair with Erica Caine was vomit inducing.

What happened to Kim Delaney? Was she a ghost, 👻 ? I only saw her maybe two times, and she was gone. I haven't kept up with GH in years, but I was keeping up with her. Or trying to, 😄

genie is 58 and Cameron would look way too old as her son. at 51 .. he would make a good Steven though. Lucky does need to return though.. JJ is 38 the age Lucky is supposed to be... I thought BIlly Miller would be a good Lucky

Lottsa hate here for Cameron. Stand back though, as heads are going to explode as he's most likely to be coming on as a pairing for Maxie.

Yes, agree about Billy Miller. CM would make a good doctor. But 8 forget, GH isn't about the hospital at all. Hasn't been for years. Mob, mob, mob. It would be nice to have hospital drama again,the way it use to. Is Scorpio still there?

R203 = Wrong. He is coming on for Elizabeth. Because a nurse with bad teeth and three different baby daddies is so "irresistible"....

That will be solo exc... Z zzzzzzzzzz

I’m so sorry Jasam broke up R205.

Again, R207? Whatever will Mumbles do?

Mumbles is for Dante.

Wouldn't Liz be immediately drawn to someone who looks exactly like Franco. Please god do not let RH come back as a blond again. If he wants to do a color change let him get curly red hair so he can officially be Bozo.

"Daddy doesn't love you. He hates us that's why he is never around. He doesn't even pay child support." = Elizabeth explaining deadbeat daddy Lucky to Aiden...

They’re won’t mention the Franco resemblance when RoHo returns.

Ava's new lips are not attractive and the extra whorish makeup did not help.

What has Maura done to her face? Yikes!!

The actor who plays Dante is so fucking hot with the beard and long hair.

Dante has a hairy ass.

Who is paying for all these new sets?

Their stimulus checks, duh.

I think Frank forgoes a paycheck to keep his job.

My money's on NuDrew, but I don't think the show needs a new Drew.

Glad to see so many begging for the return of Drew to help rehabilitate my character and to keep my daily captivating performances on GH for many years to come!

Wes either put out like you did in that not Disney friendly gay movie or hit the door.

I didn't mind Peter as much as most fans did, but then he started eating up too much airtime and his romance with Maxie was so boring.

Wes, more Wes.

Why are all the GH fans on Twitter pissed about Cam coming to the show. I haven't seen this much hate in a long time. Did they bring on Cam so that the fans will like the guy who plays Peter? What did Cam do?

R225 It appears to mostly be Friz fans angry over Franco's death mad tht the show is getting another character.

Ava looked better today. Wonder if her scenes were shot out of sequence and today was actually pre-procedure. At the very least it was a completely different makeup job and a hell of a lot more subtle.

I liked the gritty realness of the "prison life consultant." Great casting, and having her smoke was a nice touch, too. That's something you never see on soaps anymore (and for good reason) but it totally fit the character.

For R224

R225 Because GH doesn’t write for the characters they have unless you’re a pet like WR or LW. CM will undoubtedly soak up airtime when he arrives.

R228 = Even getting rimmed Westy is annoying...

Come to think of it, I have never noticed ANY male redhead on any soap, especially as a lead. Strange.

R231 There are a lot of redheaded children. As a little boy, Michael on GH was a redhead, and Luke on ATWT was too.

Thanks r228. I saw the movie years ago and had no recollection of Wes in it.

The Alexis episode was pretty great. However, wasn’t she an adult when she learned Mikkos was her father?

Why is Alexis still on this show? She lost everything great about her post Ric Lansing pairing. She’s played out and a shrew! Keep her locked up.

R235 = Ingo

R235 She is as bad as Sonny in that the actor apparently doesn't want to play the only interesting aspect of their characters. She doesn't want Cassadine stories and he doesn't want to be a "bad" mobster. Instead they want to play boring stories that aren't dramatic or captivating.

Another Emmy for NLG!

[quote] Why are all the GH fans on Twitter pissed about Cam coming to the show.

Because Mathison can't act his way out of a paper bag, for one.

And b/c Frank keeps doing shit like bringing a name in when all the existing people don't have story. Bringing on Laura's family made sense, but before that there were dozens of examples of someone just being flung onto the canvas for impact

Except for the flashbacks at the end, the Alexis-centric episode sucked.

Looks like NLG's recent report to HR didn't go in her favor.

It was interesting to see who wasn't included in the flashback clips

r241

what report?

I think they are setting the stage for Alexis to be the same type of character that Katy Sagal is in her new show "Rebel." Though not technically a lawyer anymore, she will still be an advocate/activist for the underdog and general shit-stirrer justice warrior.

Can’t the money spent on NLG be better spent on bringing back Robin Christopher as Skye Q? Or better yet Vanessa Marcil?

I don’t mind NLG or Alexis. I’d rather see her than LW or KSt and her three chins everyday.

NLG is great. She’s not going anywhere.

The way Peter was eyeing Finn with that evil smirk, I think he is going to have Violet kidnapped and use her as a bargaining chip. What a pig. I hope Roxy claws his eyes out and shits in the sockets.

Cameron Matheson. UGGGGG.

He sucked the life out of AMC. Will do the same here.

I'd much rather they spend the money and bring Rebecca Buddig back!

Is NLG the only old woman who gets such a huge part on a current soap or even in the past I don't remember anyone her age getting so much story line.

I ff'd her. Not because of her age but because she bores the shit out of me.

R249 Vicki and Dorian were still driving stories at OLTL, all the way until the end. And Y&R kept Katherine Chancellor front and center until she died.

Shouldn't Diane have played a role in the Alexis episode, since their friendship has been a pretty big part of the character over the last several years?

GH never gives this much respect to GF/Laura or so many other females of a certain age but for whatever reason NLG remains front and center, is given sexy love interests and apparently has opinions about storylines behind the scenes. Hell Liz/RH doesn’t have a family or as much interest in her character and story!!!

R234 Yes. She grew up thinking that he was her uncle. IIRC Luke found out that Mikkos was really her dad.

Also, when her sister Kristina was introduced, there were flashbacks of her mom, who was a blonde Swedish eurotrash woman that people on SoapZone compared to Ivana Trump, not the classy lady we saw today.

[quote]GH never gives this much respect to GF/Laura

NLG has been loyal to the show throw good and bad. Genie hasn't. Genie's issues, demands, and quite frankly her inability to accept that she wasn't as important as Tony Geary, etc, have been discussed ad nauseum on this site. There is a difference between being a team player and being troublesome and being a team player gets you rewarded.

People forget that Alexis used to drool over Luke when she first arrived in Port Charles. Link (Alexis meets Luke) ---the tail end is Alexis telling Stefan how sharp Luke was...This was just the beginning of her interest and originally it created friction because Stefan did not want his sister with a Spencer (though it didn't stop him from pursuing and marrying Bobbie).

Genie is a bitch and fat. Laura was over about 39 years sgo.

Peter is going around shrilly threatening everybody. He can't last too much longer, can he?

R255 Thanks for finding and posting that great clip. I often forget the reasons I started watching GH. It was actually good at one time.

Caught Leslie Charleson on Barnaby Jones this morning, from 1975.

He’s not going anywhere R256!!

I'm waiting for Peter's nice twin to show up after Peter is murdered.

[quote] I'm waiting for Peter's nice twin to show up after Peter is murdered.

Hopefully that twin has a more flattering haircut and will show bulge occasionally.

Luke and Alexis should have paired up.

They were supposed to but Geary nixed that pairing for Kristina Wagner. He wanted to be paired with the hot blonde to supposedly give it to Genie who wanted Laura to be paired with Stefan. Geary was perturbed. What a shame because Geary and Grahn had great chemistry.

Lady Geary was always so petty. Petty as the day is LONG.

Was Geary the donor for Grahn's daughter?

OMG ..R263..Luke and Felicia......Worst couple ever.....Right up there with Luke and Anna.....File those pairings under "what were they thinking?"....

What is Frank’s fascination with Michael Easton

Easton must have the dick of death and rides Frankie's ass.

Or the ass of death and rides Frankie's big Eyetalian sausage.

[quote]What is Frank’s fascination with Michael Easton

Again, Easton is low maintenance and a team player. He shows up , does his lines, then goes to his dressing room and works on his second career and doesn't cause any trouble. That stuff goes a long way.

Luke’s best pairing was Skye. The characters and the actors made sense together.

Luke and Anna. OMG. I had nearly banished that from my memory until it was brought up in this thread. What the heck was that? Horrors.

When is the show going to wise up and actually pair Anna and Valentine?

R263 Stefan was my favorite of all Laura's pairings. Ever since the Spencer's return in 1993, Laura seemed sexless and boring, except with Stefan.

I hope GH lets Cynthia Watros go full on psycho bitch.

R272 = Definitely Laura and Stefan worked. The flashbacks really helped....Lasha Cassadine (as she was called married to Stavros), found some good times on Cassadine Island...

Anna and Luke were a gross pairing. While capable actors didn’t buy the romance of Luke and Tracy either.

Laura was best with Stefan. Anna best with Robert. Duke always pinged. Could have been his Scottish ways but always read as gay to me.

We must be getting all these new sets because Wes has been chewing through them a lot lately

Jake has hit puberty....And as with all GH teens, he is super feminine...Move over Spencer, Miss Jake is taking your crown....

Damn R274, that was such a good story. Who wrote that? I can't remember. That may have been the last time that Laura was interesting and complicated.

2:14 mark.....Jake and Cameron.....WORST acting...Who at GH thinks these two girls can pull off a scene? Jake needs to pluck his eyebrows and Cameron looks like he is struggling to remember his lines...

Making Stefan the father of Nicholas ---then undoing it---was really a mess....They sure ruined that character....

Peter walking up to the waiter in the alley, looked like the start to a grindr hookup.

OP you shit! That poor little lizard in costume made me laugh and I hate you for that.

I would love for GH to bring on a troublemaker as Celia Quartermaines son with Jimmy Lee....

The restaurant Nik and Martin met in is called Beradino’s. Nice touch.

Where is Audrey March?

Who drinks the poisoned coffee?

My guess is Gregory but I hope not since I like the actor and he is well cast in the role with a lot of potential.

I'd rather it be Jackie since I find KD unappealing and she doesn't have chemistry with anyone.

The character of Gregory doesn't really have much potential on GH these days. A man of a certain age who's a stoic professor? His only real potential was a couple with Alexis and she's now going to be busy for a while

Kim Delaney is awful as Jackie.

Yes, I think that sadly Gregory will die from taking Finn’s drug and Chase can hate and blame him for a few months. The foreshadowing line about Violet not giving up her grandfather gave it away.

Nurse Audrey March reporting for duty and to steal Monica Quartermaine’s beau!

anyway.....

JFC R290!!

R290 - Pretty? Pretty?

I honestly have no idea what Lauras relationship status is....Is she still married to Kevin?....Why not pair her with Gregory?.....Or Laura---she would make a suitable baby momma for Sonny...

R294 Yes, she and Kevin are still married. I would much prefer her to be married to Scotty and Kevin with Lucy, though.

So what's going on with the Taggert actor? He was off before because of Covid, now he's off again, does anyone know why?

I heard he’s ill again.

Maybe Roger Howarth is going to be the New Taggert?......Just putting it out there....

I have to say that was a nice callback to Fasion's poisoning of Tiffany. I was young but I remember that story because I loved Tiffany.

R299 So sad what happened to Tiffany in real life.....Link

R300 I know. She was such a beautiful woman.

Perhaps when the Cyrus story winds down, GH can bring back Mikey Weber intent on getting revenge on Laura for killing Rick. And that way, they can undo Guza's horrible Rick retcon and death story.

Whoops.

R303 How could they have not paid?

It's tacky that GH never paid for it use of Think of Laura.

However, the song likely never would have been a hit without the constant play on GH during Laura's return in Nov. 1983. They released the song as a single in Dec. 1983 as a result of the show playing it so much to build up to the Luke and Laura reunion.

R305 I still don't understand how that could've happened. It wasn't on some small obscure label, it was on Warner Brothers Records. I don't see how WB allowed a major network to use a song without compensation.

I have often wondered how the soaps afforded all of that popular music back in the day. I wonder if they just played it and ignored paying any royalties.

GH was asked to stop using it and they refused.

I need to vent about the e-x-t-e-n-d-e-d love scene last week between DoD and Willow, followed the next day by the bad quick-cut before they kiss, clothing trail on the ground, Titanic hand-palming of the fogged up car window "where's the love" scene between Brando and Sasha. Brando deserved better. We deserved better!

DoD?

"Dick of Death", R310 - Chad Duell is reportedly (although only reported here, as far as I know) hung.

Not to be confused with "Dawn of Day", which fucked Willow much earlier on.

I believe talk of Chad Duell's cock started on the Wizards of Waverly Place reddit and was brought here, where it was confirmed and verified.

Someone asked that this be posted
