Dateline Port Charles: Welcome Back Britt, Sayonara Sasha

Link to the previous thread;

For all those lamenting...

Thanks to whoever started this thread. I was at the dentist and couldn't quite start one there!

I’m already sick of Rory. The monotone has to stop.

On one of the fan threads they said that Sleestak is going to play a woman on the run from an abusive lesbian relationship who gets a job at the diner and later finds out that Sonny is her father only to find out later that she's Tracy's sister and thus a Quartermaine.

Someone must have been smoking the good shit to come up with that, R5.

R2 That picture will probably never get old

R3 You're welcome, just glad that you're ok

R4 = Chad Duell 😊😊

R6 😆 😆

There is zero chemistry between ADA Turner and sleepy Sonny.

Nothing charismatic or witty about their interactions, not even dangerously sexy, just nothing. "Another Brendabot" is the general consensus on social media. It's just not as off-putting to watch as the Natalia/Sonny pairing because Turner's face isn't contorted with Botox and fillers like Natalia's was.

I send my thanks for today's scene with both shirtless Chase and Michael. More of that is welcome.

Nice photo op 😕

Didn't Sonny sleep with his divorce lawyer, two divorces ago from Carly? At some point, some new kid of Sonny's will emerge.

Happy belated 79th birthday to Victoria Sleestack! See you soon!

The THIRD Victoria, as it were.

R13 The picture of Rory posted at R2 makes up for any pictures of Kelly T or Sofia Mattsson that I could've posted.

Does Chase even get shirtless for Brook Lynn

Do the Quartermaines all go to the Metro Court pool to see the people with whom they live? I can't imagine that dinky little pool comes close to the one at the mansion or to the fucking lake they keep talking about.

R14 Think you're referring to Martina Morales, portrayed by Daya Vaidya. Maurice loved that part of the storyline; he mentioned how much he enjoyed working with Daya. He wanted Sonny and Carly to be over, while hoping for something to develop between Sonny and Martina. Daya mentioned wanting to stay longer as well, but the role was only short-term.

Maybe Sonny could bump into Martina in Europe and then fixate on memories of the great love they never actually shared.

Why introduce a short-term character to sleep with a long-running character if a child isn't intended to emerge at some point? It's like a soapy bank account, am I right?

Kelly Thiebaud on Steve and Bradford's podcast today.

O/T:

Dr. Kevin Collins is over in D.C. being all tough and mean and cavorting with a woman who isn't zaftig like his Port Chuck wife.

Dixie Martin is there too. She speaks in a manner that is highly off-putting. Apparently Michele Val Jean doesn't have the courage to tell her to knock it off.

Dixie Cooney is beyond annoying on Beyond The Gates. I think Lindstrom divorced her because she’s ‘out there’.

Colton Shore ---Felicia's ex husband---Lucy's cousin----has found the church and REJECTS Hollywood!! He has chosen to mentor young men in the church!! Good for him!!

R24, there’s a btg thread. No need to discuss that here.

Colton also had a tv show. The Colton connection?

R28. That's right. He worked with Tiffany? He was Aunt Charlene's only child. He was supposed to be the "next Frisco Jones". But then Jack Wagner returned to GH.

r27, get a better job

your current pathetic little job patrolling soap threads is really scraping the bottom of the barrel

Charlene had 2 sons. Colton and decker.

R26 - Wait, so is Scott Thompson whatever saying he was once famous in Hollywood?

I realize it's a soap conceit, but I'm forever amused over characters rarely mentioning established family members once they're off the show.

This guy played Joe Clark on y&r

I’ll take him as Nikolas please.

Ratings For The Week Of July 21st-July 25th, 2025

More importantly, what is the streaming viewership? 🤷🏻‍♂️ we don’t know

R38 Doing pretty well on Hulu; even landed at the number one spot off and on throughout this summer.

I'm worried that Britt's mystery boss will turn out to be Parking Lot Peter.

There's no way LW allowed SB to get away with going to TPTB and getting Britt back when she wanted Jason for Carly. If Steve got the pairing he wanted then she probably demanded they reemploy her unemployed boyfriend. Ugh. Hope I'm wrong.

I assumed the "boss" will be little Mikey Webber now reimagined as a Bond-level villain

Britt is working for Casey the alien

Britt is working for ME! She's studying how to remove the permaseal on my virtue!

I saw a recent photo of Constance Towers, and she looks great. I think it's time for Helena to come back.

Perhaps Britt is working for her father.....perhaps we'll have yet another emergence of Cesar Faison?

[bold] Rumormilll .....Jerry Jax, which explains WSB bringing Joss into the fold---they know she isn't in danger because he wouldn't harm her. He held Robin against her will for research. Britt is being held against her will to do research. The other possibility is Stavros. Helena saved him through cryogenics and now he's trying to do the same for her. [/bold]

Annas House was a really a great set. Seeing her in the tiny apartment (with two roommates) is sad.

Who’d be a good Jerry Jax recast?

Viki Sleestack - IN as Amanda Barrington.

Obviously, Britt is working for Jean Randolph, played by Erika Slezak.

If Dalton is working for Sidwell and a coureur is taking research from Dalton to Britt, then it would make sense that Britt is working for Sidwell.

Britt is working for Phil Brewer.

Roy Thinnes returns as GH's original bad boy and is paired with Erika Slezak in a storyline you have to see to believe.

It's me, bitches!

Well we know it's not Morgan. I don't think Kelly and Bryan are on good terms. That also eliminates Morgan as another patient at the clinic being resurrected or cured or whatever.

I notice that Steve and Kelly both went silent when the topic of Nathan came up on the podcast linked above. Makes me think there is truth to the rumor of Nathan's resurrection and they didn't want to take any chances spoiling it.

Sebastian Roché could come back short term. He's done it before. I would also love to see Morgan return with a wife----who Carly and Sonny immediately loathe.

[quote]I would also love to see Morgan return with a wife----who Carly and Sonny immediately loathe.

Of course, once Morgan’s young, gorgeous, nubile wife meets her father in-law, she can’t help but fight temptation and fall madly, desperately and passionately in love with the Mumbling Midget Mobster™.

Lila Rae alcazar corinthos?

Newly wed to Morgan?

Maybe one day Noah ii and Donna can have kids to unite Carly and Robin.

R47 - How can Anna's condo be an HOA? It would be a COA.

As for her house, it was a great set but it did border on the ridiculous that a (then) 60-something single woman would be rambling around a house that challenged the Quartermaine estate in size and grandeur. Not to mention, just how rich is Anna anyway? She definitely downsized which makes sense for an elderly person who's never home. But the two roommates and a dog pushes it back into the realm of the ridiculous.

I think they're heading towards Emma and Gio moving out and getting their own place. Clearly they'll need to run an Only Fans site and escort offscreen to pay the rent.

Maybe Emma and Gio could rent the Brownstone Michael started to renovate five or so years ago?

Isn't the actor who plays Gio like 18 or 19 in real life? Is that why they aren't sexing him up? Or does he just not generate chemistry?

R60 - Frank won't allow his new pet to engage in sex scenes with anyone else.

Frankie wants a clean slate so when he jacks off all over Gio's cakes they aren't tainted by anyone else.

Does Gio have cakes?

Rory on egomaniac Mo's show today. Mo introduced Rory saying he's made a big splash coming on to GH, like he's never seen before but he doesn't know how long it will last.

No mental health problems. Grew up scared, anxious and poor in a bad neighborhood in Bakersfield. Step-father was in a gang and went to prison. Lived with his mom and two younger half-siblings, he felt a paternal role towards half-siblings. Has an older half brother through his father. Close to both his parents.

Discussed his other career as a Fitness Trainer. Met his fiancee when they were 15 and 16 years old and they've been together ever since. Mo remarked they are the only two on GH who have been with their partner so long and not cheated on each other (dig at Steve?). Rory wants to get married/have kids next summer. Rory said LW has become like his Acting Coach. Mo offered his supreme acting lessons, of course. Rory likes GH better than Y&R because he felt he only played a supporting role on Y&R.

Post Y&R and during the strike, Rory and his finances were really hurting financially and practically homeless. His fiancee's modeling work dried up and they couch surfed for a year. Mo talked about Tyler Christopher being homeless. Mo said Rory will never have to couch surf or be that broke again because he now has GH who will always be there for him because of the way he came in.. Rory says he wasn't fulfilled at Y&R but is fulfilled at GH.

Rory loves donuts and was a chunky kid. Mo loves frozen yogurt especially a place called Go Greek on La Brea. When Mo used to get stoned he would eat entire Boston Cream Pies from Marie Callender's.

^ fiancee not finances

Would love for the big bad boss to be Slezak! She needs to be a Jean Randolph villain or a grifter Niki Smith style. No more sanctimonious Victoria Lord act.

Can we all pray today that Britt's big boss is Colton Shore?

I thonk the big boss is Audrey Hardy, RN. Frank finally gave Rachel Ames a call. Rachel has been wanting to come back for years.

Anna’s house set was recycled from AMC. It was the Chandler mansion set, the one the show started using when it moved production to LA.

Aunt Charlene/five poppies could give Jennifer Coolidge/white lotus a run for the money.
