Dateline Port Charles: Stone Cold On Ice

Previous thread, currently paywalled:

Thanks for the new thread, OP.

Where did Victor Sheffield disappear to? I was hoping for more repartee between him and his new found son.

Will this be the first year ever that the Quartermaine turkey dinner finally comes off without a hitch, only to be destroyed by the news of Jason's demise?

Does Big Alice still work for the Quartermaine family?

[quote]Does Big Alice still work for the Quartermaine family?

Only Edward and Lila, now.

Victor Sheffield may come back to connect with his son after the shock for Valentine wears off or maybe Mr. Sheffield was escorted out of the building with SB and IR due to his vaxx objections

At his age, I doubt Sheff is going to mess around with anti-vax bs. More likely they trot him out when Heinous Heinrik resurfaces.

Genie is back in the Christmas preview and looking slimmer. MEK also in a clip.

Victor Sheffield is back too and the actor seems to be enjoying his co-stars as they set up the scene.

Wait, Michael E Knight is now on GH? And Mr. Sheffield from The Nanny is a Cassadine? what am I seeing at r8.

r4 the actress who played Big Alice died this past July. They just announced her death to the public last week.

I heard about the death of the actress but was wondering what ever happened to her character on the show. She was before my time.

There were rumors that the actor playing Curtis was also a vaxx holdout. Today's "Has Anybody Seen Curtis?" scenes and then he suddenly shows up makes it seem like he made a last minute decision to follow mandates and keep his job

Is there anyone here who still likes the Carly character? Another day of her being an asshole.

Marcus Coloma and Johnny Wactor were holdouts on the vax and complied at the very last minute. Maybe Curtis actor finally gave in too.

I wonder if Marcus had to get a special waiver from Miscavige and if Tommy Cruise had to sign off on it too. They probably decided it was more important that Marcus stay employed and keep bringing $$$ into the borg and buying courses.

[quote]Marcus Coloma and Johnny Wactor were holdouts on the vax and complied at the very last minute.

Well shit! Show made an easy chance to solve its problem with Coloma there and lost it.

As I said on the now paywalled thread, Monica looked better in the Thanksgiving scenes than she has in years. I was hoping Uri had come back with Valentin and was going to finally declare his love for her, pick her up, carry her up the stairs of the Q mansion, and ravish her.

Monica will need a lot of comforting when she finds out about Jason, though. Since Yuri's gig just ended, he'll have the time!

R17 I really want them to go down that route. Monica needs her groove back.

Monica needs some big black cock again!

R19

Has any soap character ever gained and lost the same children as many times as Monica? She gives birth to AJ, adopts her husband's child, Jason. Discovers the daughter she gave up for adoption, Dawn. Dawn is murdered (anyone recall how?). Adopts Emily. AJ dies. Emily is murdered. Emily comes back (well the actress) as an identical twin, (I wasn't really watching during that storyline so I don't know how it was resolved). Jason dies. AJ is alive. (as they keep switching out actors). AJ dies again. Jason is alive. Another Jason, the real Jason, is alive. (so with Emily, that makes 2 adopted identical twins with identity of the other not previously known. What are the odds?????).

So the other Jason is now Drew, who Monica accepts anyway. Drew dies. Drew is alive. Jason dies again.

Did I miss anything?? Sorry if the order is screwed up.

Wow. I'd never thought about it quite like you describe it r21. But that summary seems about right to me.

The most important thing is that while in the 2000s, Guza, Frons and JFP worked overtime to decimate the Quatermaine family, in the 2010s, Frank and the various HWs have worked hard to rebuild the Qs.

Re Dawn:

Bludgeoned with a lead pipe by Edge Jackson; later died of her injuries [Feb 26, 1991; died on Feb 27, 1991]

R21, I love you.

I am convinced Genie was waiting for the unvaccinated to return. It’s right after they both left. She also probably didn’t want to work with Coloma either. Too bad he decided to get it.

After these two episodes, I reiterate my plea to the GH powers that be. If Leslie Charleson doesn't want to work more often, fine. But, any day she wants to work have a script for her. She can still bring it and she is one of the last characters left that really makes GH feel like GH. I've recently started watching DAYS and one thing they do very well, is to keep the older characters fully integrated into the story. Which, RC tried to do on GH and he did it on OLTL, as well. One of the things that makes a soap great is to respect and integrate the characters that have entertained generations of fans.

Also, were all those Jason and Carly scenes original? Or did they insert Laura Wright in some of them? He was very young in some of them.

[quote] Also, were all those Jason and Carly scenes original? Or did they insert Laura Wright in some of them? He was very young in some of them.

r26 I'm wondering that too. The first clip in particular.

R27 That was the one that I was like, hold on, I'm pretty sure LW wasn't playing Carly then.

I’m not feeling Sam and Dante. I don’t feel like watching her lounge/fuck on the couch like she does with every boyfriend. I guess she gets a storyline now that SB is gone.

R29 Dante has some animation and emotion to him, she requires that in a scene partner because she rarely displays either.

I don't feel Sam with anyone.

Anyone know if the Spinelli actor is standing in solidarity with SB? If he doesn't appear soon, especially with this current storyline, we'll have our answer

R32 He doesn't appear that often, so he might make more off his various side hustles with SB. I guess he'll go for whichever brings him more money.

WoW---->>William Lipton (Cam) is super girly off script---around the 1 min mark in OP vid....Definitely a bottom...

WTF - So Drew has been presumed dead for all these years and yet he shows up in PC with a new cell phone (gave his number to Sam), has secured some type of personal transportation to get around town and has money to buy 7 pizzas for dinner. I also laughed out loud when after telling everybody about Jason’s death Drew then said something like “so what happened to ruin the Q thanksgiving dinner this year?” Has the Q dog ever been seen?

Don't you have to take a little bit of a leap with these shows? It's perfectly reasonable to think that between scenes he got hooked up with a cell phone and some other essentials.

Exactly, R36. Maybe the WSB has some sort of victims' relief fund, but we don't need to see scenes with the paperwork.

Valentine managed to get an epic Vidal Sassoon blowout after being discharged from the hospital off screen, so Drew should be allowed his pizzas.

Vee, who’s in the biz, is negotiating with Emma Samms to return! Vee deserves the lifetime Emmy that he will receive in 2022!!!!

I enjoyed today's Natasha's Family skit. I think it should get its own spin-off series.

Vee, who is in the biz, you know, will cure Emma’s long COVID. Vee is the expert of everything soaps, politics, medicine, and scrubbing toilets in the biz, you know!

It's a holiday miracle! No singing Qs this year. A tradition that's thankfully been shuffled up to the attic with the photos that were overcrowding the mantle. Monica was right, time to move on.

Yes r40 this Cassadine Thanksgiving is inspired and well-earned from the previous storylines that got us here. Better keep count of the knives!

Has NLG finally relented and are going to let them write her into Cassadine stories? I loved Victor, laying down the law and telling them to straighten up. Has anyone thought about a Victor and Monica relationship? The patriarch of the Cassadines and the matriarch of the Quartermaines together, would be an interesting story that would involve a lot of characters.

I suspect the singing Q Thanksgiving will return in the future, it just didn't seem right this year considering they found out a Q was dead on Thanksgiving.

Found her!

Is Nellie Branco still hard for NuSpencer?

(R45)

NuDrew looked better with his beard.

Monica looked beautiful.

Esme looked absurd with her Thanksgiving extensions.

Was that another new set? I don't think they have shown the Q kitchen before, at least not in a long time.

They debuted the Q kitchen set about a month ago.

Last time I recall seeing the Q set was in the late 1990s. And that set was very different that this one.

R49 I must've missed that scene.

The new Q kitchen debuted during Michael and Willow scenes, so most people fell asleep during them

I I thought maybe the new set was just the butlers pantry. Surly the Q kitchen must be larger than that.

We're just seeing the kitchen table and some cabinets. Maybe it is the butler's pantry. Or maybe that's just one portion of the kitchen and the appliances off camera.

Does anyone else see Carly going off the deep end some time soon? I'm usually not a major fan of LW, but her grief at Jason's death has been really good. I also like that after the initial scenes, they are having her and Brit talk and share some of their grief.

By far, my favorite character is Britt. Bad girl reformed is probably the oldest soap opera trope, but Kelly Thiebaud is making it fresh. She made Steve Burton interesting.

I also think Thiebaud is stunning.

R55 I like Britt but she keeps getting paired off as the "next girlfriend" and not the keeper....Patrick..Nickolas...Jason...etc.......SPOILERS----->>Brad is returning so she will have her bestie next week....But WHY are they pairing Sonny and Britt?....Apparently they are going to bond over Jason kicking the bucket?....The show should have run with the Nina Sonny coupling while it was hot...

Looking forward to more scenes of Peter torture by Dr. Franco Gatlin-Holt. I rather enjoyed the evil twinkle he got when jabbing him mercilessly with the needle.

I read that Kristina Wagner is back on contract. I wonder if the guy who plays Mack will be too.

^^^ great, just what we need, more useless characters.

Felicia and Mac have never been useless characters. They have been sadly under-utilised in the past, tough.

Not paying SB's salary puts a lot more money back into the show's budget

GH should be able to hire 6 or 7 new contract players now

Formerly Fat Amy's picture was recently added to the opening credits.

I'd bet the lovely Kristina Wagner has rejoined the cast because there will be a "Who killed Peter" whodunit. Maxie will be put on trial but, in the end, it will be her mother Felicia who did it. (The reverse of the Leslie/Laura situation regarding who killed David Hamilton.)

That would be a great story R64. Sadly, I don't think the writers have your creativity.

I like Amy, fat or thin. I wouldn't mind seeing her have a story of her own. I wonder about her brother, the one who was wounded badly in the war. I wouldn't mind him coming back either. So many characters tons and tons better than Jason, Jax and Peter might get a chance now. I do know I want a bigger story for Dr. O when she gets back to PC. I love Britt too. Maxie I can't stand but I'd be okay with her going on trial. They really need to get rid of Carly. The only one she ever had even a little chemistry with was Franco or was it Todd? I don't remember. I can't believe they saddled Howarth with Maxie. Yikes, someone on the show must hate him. Maybe they can use some of that Jason money to bring on ES (Viki) from OLTL, not contract as I think she might be too old to want that but a few times a month. She could film all her scenes at once for the month. I think they do that sometimes.

I would love to see Maxie thrown in jail. Anything not to hear her say “Peeee-tuhr”‘ever again.

I'd love to know how modern soap contracts are structured. My guess is they just prevent actors from accepting other work so they can be shoehorned in when needed. Felicia will likely kill Peter, and promptly disappear for another 10 years. Too many characters, so many dropped storylines, and no payoff for any of them. Too bad they shifted Ryan's fixation to Ava. He could coerce Esme into killing Peter in order to impress Felicia. Blah blah, nobody cares, including the writers.

R67 If Felicia kills Peter, her magical Aztec Princess powers must be activated and have her declared Queen of Port Charles to rule forever. For vanquishing Port Charles of the infestation known as Peter August all hail, HM Queen Felicia I of Port Charles, the blonde Aztec

This town is only big enough for one queen, toots, and don't you forget it!

Vee, who’s in the biz, ( but don’t tell anyone, he likes to keep it a secret that he’s in the biz) is trying to get Jack Wagner back to GH. Shhhhhhh. Vee is in the biz.

It strikes me as the only reason they would put Felicia Wagner on contract, as opposed to occasional guest visits.

R69 Don't push it, toots, the Aztec ate lizards!

Alternatively, Felicia will plead guilty to protect Maxie who she thinks killed Peter, out of all the guilt she feels -- and that Maxie has generously laid on her -- for not being there for Maxie.

Could be like R73, or could be she suddenly has a more active role due to taking in Maxie's kids while she's locked up.

After the big murder mystery it will be revealed that the killer is non other than fan favorite real nurse Chloe Jennings.

Does Frank really watch scenes with Victor, Ava and Nik and not see that the Nik actor is way out of his league? Is Frank afraid the $ciento goons will come after him if he fires this weak bland actor?

Frank has a boner for Marcus.

The thing about Nik is he just isn't going to get better. A shame because there are great actors like Mark Lawson (ex-Dustin) out there and there are no excuses for hanging onto these adult actors like Paco Colombia Nik who really aren't measuring up.

I really liked the witness protection house set, but not as a witness protection house. Why would put such people in a house with that many large windows?

And pumpkins for fall decor! I think they stole those from the Q house.

Why did the hit woman tell her boss that they bought her story even though Agent Silva told her to take a hike? Am I missing something?

On the upside the show doesn't have to spring for a new Jason headstone. My theory has always been that Morgan got blown to safety from the car bomb. He got to the Quartermaine mansion and Monica nursed him back to health and gave him money to get as far away from his idiot family as possible. Why would Monica do that? As revenge for what the Criminal Corinthos Organization did to AJ and Emily. Don't forget Sleezbag Sonny slept with Emily (because why not?).

Maybe she left a bomb in the cleaning supplies the agent made her leave outside.

Weirdo John and Perv Soapsuds are battling it out over at SON by posting shirtless pics of a barely legal youngster from GH. They are one weird and perverted group over there.

Tyler Christopher was so beautiful in those days, R82.

R82 = Yeah....I thought that too..He was very handsome and could act.....Then he flushed his career away on GH....And when given a second chance on DAYS he flushed that. He will never work in daytime again.

You might be right, R83. Bye bye Silva! She was still doing something with a gun in the car, though... I see a chase through the woods, etc. etc. Will Marty take the hit to save his new sis?

R87 if he does I hope he doesn't die. I thought I wouldn't, but I like his sibling relationship with Laura and would like for them to keep him around. I could see him and Scotty in practice together.

Maxie was actually pretty good in her scenes at the PCPD today, I was surprised.

It’s just mean to put Kristina Wagner and Kirsten Storms in scenes together. Kirsten looks like a fat sweaty sloppy mess. How is she allowed on camera like this?

Kristina Wagner is no great shakes either. That mousy voice is irritating.

Please don't tell me they're having Spencer fall for Joss as well.

Brando, Sasha, Willow, Nickolas and Austin all better be looking for work....None of them bring anything to the table. This show is overdue for a serial killer.

Frank will keep his pets, no matter how little they add to the show.

I am alone in this, but I think Michael could be a compelling character if the writers were allowed to write for the character in an interesting way. He was going down an interesting path and for whatever reason things changed, but it did the character and the actor no favors.

I see on social media how people think the actor should be replaced. I really don't think it's an actor problem.

There’s way too many characters. You spend a week getting caught up in a storyline only to have it hit the wall in a few days. Then you have zero interest in whats happening with the next batch of characters. It’s jarring.

Sonny and Britt would make a terrible couple!

Felicia is stunning and has aged gracefully. I like her! Happy she is back.

[quote] Brando, Sasha, Willow, Nickolas and Austin all better be looking for work....None of them bring anything to the table.

I wouldn't say that. Sasha, especially is another link between Nina and the Corinthos family and provides Nina with a chance at redemption. Brando is set up to have stories about having to decide between the mob and his family. He is also HOT. Willow is fine she is a throwback boring good girl. RH as Austin could still be good, he looked like he was having too much fun torturing Peter. Nic the character brings a lot it is the actor that doesn't.

We need and deserve a new nik.

I agree with r99. Lots of story potential for all the characters mentioned.

The character of Nikolas has been around for 25 years. He's Laura's son and a linchpin in the Cassadine family saga. Show isn't going to kill him off.

But the show desperately needs to recast the role of Nikolas. As we've been saying repeatedly on DL for the past two years, Marcus Coloma is a weak actor who is completely wrong for the role. He doesn't even begin to bring the gravitas or complexity of the character into his performances. He merely recites his lines and tries to act intimidating or loving (but fails at both).

No idea how he's keeping his job. Is he giving Frank daily blowjobs? He should have been replaced after his very first 13 week cycle was up.

Austin is a dud. Waste of money, same one-note acting from RoHo and zero chemistry with others. Sasha, Brando, Maxie, Michael, Willow, Finn, Sam, Joss and Carly should all die.

R91 Kirsten’s voice is like nails on a chalkboard as well. At least Kristina still has a neck.

Soap Fans love a comeback. ABC loves ratings. As long as he is not a Right-wing nutjob and/or anti-vaxxer, I say don't count Tyler Christopher out.

Maybe the reason they haven't replaced Colonna is they're waiting for Christopher to finish getting his act together.

GF and MEK are good together. Did their characters ever cross paths on AMC?

I know MEK and Mo worked together on AMC. They both also worked with a blonde Kathleen Gati during her short stint in Pine Valley.

Agree with R99 - they can all be the new young guard. Replace the fossils.

Pervy Soapsuds and Special John are still creeping up SON. I feel like a shower every time I visit there. But Vee is in the biz, you know.

When will Dumb Dylan return? Is he still learning his theres, theirs, and they’res?

RIP Colonel Tad Martin Sanders?

R95 What happened was that Mo didn't like this "interesting path" that was starting to happen with Michael and allegedly told them to put an end to it.

If Hulu was smart they would commission GH to produce "Christina Comes Home" as a stand alone movie, like Peacock is doing with DAYS. They could even get some of the old vet ABC soap stars to play some of the roles, to make it even more special.

R107 If you look at creepy John’s twitter (John Walter Seip) he is a VERY creepy pervert. No wonder he and Soapsuds get along!!! 50+ year old men should not be whacking off to 18-20 year olds. Disgusting and perverted.

R110 =Nobody knows who Christina is. If Christina was that relevant she would still be on at 1:30 pm on ABC Daytime. Plus Sonny used to dope up Christinas sister Karen and have sex with her. Mo isn't going to remind viewers of that. Not to mention two deadbeat dads Kevin and Scott.

I don't know about you, but my cleaning lady never shows up wearing black assassin's gloves...

.....

They should have used the same actress who played the fake "Chloe". Port Charles is climbing with sets of identical twins.

Wait-Christina Comes Home is about Christina Baldwin?

Christina Comes Home seems to be from OLTL. I would have thought one of our OLTL trolls would have caught us up by now with fond remembrances.

In the teaser did Sonny tell Maxi that killing Peter was a bad idea? What kind of mobster is he?

I’d like it if someone comes up behind Sonny and all we hear is a voice saying, “Well, if it isn’t Just Mike” and he turns around to see Elijah Crowe. Let Elijah be the new mob kingpin and Sonny can go be Mike lite at the new Tan O’Charlies.

R117 it was a film that OLTL introduced late in its run, as being a film shown every year around Christmas. It’s the abc Soap universe answer to It’s A Wonderful Life. On OLTL they actually filmed the ending of the movie and showed it as part of an episode.

Christina Comes Home for Christmas was first mentioned on GH when Ron was HW, but then dropped during the whole Prospect Park mess when they couldn't even mention the OLTL characters who'd been on GH for a year. (When Starr broke up with Michael, it was done via a one-sided phone call to Michael and afterwards Michael merely told Sonny that his girlfriend had just broken up with him, never mentioning Starr by name).

As far as I can recall, this is the first mention of Christina Comes Home for Christmas since those mentions in 2012 when Ron was HW.

I can't for the life of me remember a Christina on OLTL. Who was she?

The only Christina I can remember is Sonny's kid who was in the cult and I can't imagine in a 1000 yrs they would do a special about her, one of the most boring characters ever.

r122 There wasn't a Christina character on OLTL, at least not in its last 20 years.

Christine Comes Home for Christmas was a movie that Ron made up while HW at OLTL. Characters referred to watching it every year around the holidays. It was the Llanview version of It's a Wonderful Life. We never knew what the plot of the movie was, only that it was a feel good Christmas movie that Llanview residents loved watching each year.

Has Ron Carlivati aka “The Writer” commented yet?

Could Marcus Coloma BE any worse at his job?

Marcus isn’t going anywhere. Miss Frank gets hard around him.

You mean just like Albert A. and Ron do for RSW on DOOL r126?

So brad is going to be set free and where is Lucas?

Ava was all gothic melodrama today. And, Nic was meh, as usual. It would've been like if WB had gone out and pulled an attractive guy off the street and made them Joan Crawford or Bette Davis' love interest co-star. He is in way over his head.

Hello lovelies! Your favorite Katherine Chancellor, me, Scoche Marin, is adopting adorable dogs to liven things up at the Chancellor Mansion. What will that hussy Jill think?

If they ever decide to do another serial killer, I have a list!'

Will the mob lady actually come through with Peters murder? Will Brad be the killer? Will Michael ever take that shit he’s been holding in since his rape?

Selina seems like a very unlikely name for an Asian woman.

So let me guess, Peter will be taken to GH, survive, then escape from the hospital? 🙄

As long as Wes is eating LW's pussy, Peter will stay on the show.

I get why Frank’s loins are moist about Marcus.

Michael and Willow have become extremely unpleasant with their constant self righteousness. They and their permanent stink face should take a hike.

r135 I know *sigh*, but one can hope...

The correct description for Michael is "insufferable." The actor seems constipated.

The truth is if Michael wasn't on the canvas he would not be missed. He hasn't been relevant since his rape storyline. He has zero chemistry with any women he has been paired with---and that's a long list----Abby, Starr, Kiki, Sabrina, Nelle, Willow...He has more sexual chemistry with Chase than any girl he has ever dated.. Making him bisexual would be interesting but other than that GH should save some money and write him off like they did Dillon...

So is Selina going to insist that since Brad carried out the hit on Peter he is named the new Stone Cold for Sonny’s family? That queen?

Nicholas Chavez is getting swoler by the day, and it’s not even MetroCourt pool season.

R142 They've already established, in dialogue, that Spencer is sexually active, so he might be shirtless for more than the pool from now on.

That weirdo John from SON keeps posting pics of young men who are young enough to be his grandkid. Ewwwwwww! Old weirdo.

r142 Poor Cam has to compete with that?

R140 this.

R146 = Michael loves getting shirtless with other guys too. The ultimate bisexual in denial.

Rumor has it the Brasha baby should have been named Turnip.

R148 = They can give their baby to Liz. She loves raising Deadbeat Dads kids. Just ask Lucky or Jake. When Jake died (the first time) Jason skipped the funeral with Sam and stayed home to screw. And Liz has spun so many men thru her revolving front door I'm surprised one of her sons hasn't killed anyone yet. They all have Daddy issues, especially little gay Jake..I like the way Liz acts like she has the perfect family and none of her kids have the same Daddy.......LINK = (2 minute mark)...That gay kid Jake is going to snap...wait and see....

Steve Burton on The Talk just weeks ago...Unvaccinated? ....Did the cast members know he didn't believe in science? Co-Host Amanda Kloots husband died of Covid!!...And there is SB breathing on people!!........FYI = UNCONFIRMED Rumors going around SB decided to get the vaccine so he can go back to his oversized paycheck on GH...

R150 I’m sure The Widow Cordero was furious when she found out (presumably after the fact).

The show's been completely silent on the SB issue. Looks like there may be some backstage negotiations going on - SB gets to make a short public stand and take a short break while they get to write a Holidays Without Jason storyline. Still seems possible that SB will be back for a Feb sweeps return

Rumor is Chad is already getting divorced. - again.

They could always say that Jason stayed fake dead in order to allow him to continue snooping around Crete undetected. This could be the way Hayden and or Holly get discovered.

It also wouldn't surprise me if Peter's poisoning is a big ruse (Mrs. Wu wasn't too thrilled with the deal and Sonny kept being an ass about it) and he ends up back in hiding in Greece...

R152 The show doesn’t comment on the status of actors anymore. They haven’t for years.

Oh no! R153. Could Courtney not handle Chad's rumored "Dick Of Death"? And wasn't it claimed that she has a rule about not fucking costars?

Oh, no! Who would have guessed that a wedding that looked like this would lead to a marriage with problems. Maybe the Devil was upset they didn't ask his friend Marlena to officiate.

[quote]Could Courtney not handle Chad's rumored "Dick Of Death"?

Alderson handled it just fine. Chad's first wife caught Alderson blowing Chad. If you believe Twitter, Chad's latest conquest is Avery Pohl, allegedly.

Esme?! Gross.

R158 Well, I always thought Star had a big mouth.

Chad’s dick is HUGE!!

To me Courtney Hope (Chads wife) always looks like a man in drag..And not an ugly one but a good one. One of those men who just live their life as a woman but have a penis. Chad has always come off as bisexual or one of those "I didn't know I was gay until 40" gays.

For somebody with so much swag offscreen, why does he come off like such a sexless dud onscreen?

[quote] If you believe Twitter, Chad's latest conquest is Avery Pohl, allegedly.

That must be why she never wears pants- no time to put them back on!

I wouldn't mind seeing him and Spencer, but Esme is ugh...maybe because I have an aversion for the long straight hair parted in the middle look, unless your name is Cher.

R140 I actually liked Michael and Sabrina and thought that they had potential as a couple.

His character only has chemistry with men. Same with the queen who plays Chase. His wife is as annoying a fuck.

R166 I think Chase and Brook Lynn have some chemistry.

Maurice has to approve all Michael storylines.

R168 Then Chad needs to go to Mo's dressing room and beat him with the dick of death, claim the alpha mantel, and get some decent storylines.

No one on that set, except maybe NLG, would go up against Mo. Not even Frank would go up against Mo. GH is Mo's house.

R170 All because apparently some NJ and Long Island housewives like him and said so to abc in some study they did, we are stuck with him forever. He is the mobster they thought they were marrying. My hope is that maybe he will decide to retire, live life, and return for the occasional story, basically be a Jane Elliot. I really pray he isn't an Eric Braeden.

Next time he makes an independent film we must all go to see it and make it a hit. Maybe that will give him the push to leave GH and just focus on making the occasional indie film.

Miss Frankie V could surely take in Chad’s dick of death. Maybe that’s why Chad has the job for life.

Chad's VPL is making MEK twitchy.

Chad’s DOD makes Mikey Knight forget his stupid ‘accent’ at times.

That ugly fuck Alan Sarapa is so homely! Jesus christ! Shut the fuck up Alan.

R174 R175

Oh, Ingo. What is your religion exactly, Aryan Supremacy?

Of course, by suing ABC, Ingo has guaranteed that he will never work for ABC/Disney again. Doesn't he know the old saying, "You don't mess with the Mouse"? ABC/Disney has teams of lawyers. Plus, other employers take note when an employee sues an employer.

He more than likely won't be successful anyway. So it is a stupid tactic. The Supreme Court has made it pretty clear that they are not stepping in to stop vax mandates.

So he ruined any chance of a future on probably any soap/show and he isn't going to win a "victory." Just stupid, stupid, stupid. Also, I have no respect for people claiming "vague" religious beliefs. If you are going to claim it, set out how it violates your beliefs.

Personally, I am vaxxed and so are my family, but the libertarian in me does not like mandates. However, I don't see a religious reason not to be vaxxed.

So when is everyone going to figure out Esme is the person who locked Gladys and Sasha in that room, which contributed to her child's brain damage. Does anyone else think Brando will kill Esme and then take Jason's place as Sonny's killer.

Show seems to be grooming Brando to become Sonny's new enforcer.

Ingo has been vocal about being anti-vax for months.

Haven't heard a peep out of Ingo about his religious beliefs. Yet, suddenly he's now claiming his religion makes him anti-vax??

Don't buy it and neither did Disney.

What r168 said. Mo was once alleged to have been furious over that storyline where Michael was angry at Sonny and rejected him. So much so that Mo allegedly put his foot down and told them to end it now because he thought it was disrespectful to Sonny and so they ended the storyline to please Mo.

R181 Brando is much hotter than Jason, so I'm fine with it.

Ugly Alan Sarapa wants Chad’s dick of death.

This must be a desperate publicity stunt by IR. He's been a soap actor long enough to know very well that all of them have contracts that allow the show to release them from their contract without giving a reason

[QUOTE]So when is everyone going to figure out Esme is the person who locked Gladys and Sasha in that room, which contributed to her child's brain damage. Does anyone else think Brando will kill Esme and then take Jason's place as Sonny's killer.

I think that the finger is going to first be pointed at Brook Lyn, that will drag on for a while before they finally figure out it was really Esme.

In her despondency, Sasha will likely lapse in her sobriety and that will lead to the eventual breakup of her and Brando. This will be the point he says fuck it all and goes to work for Sonny.

LINK = Fun and Funny for the bored = Soap Opera Stars with Low Net Worth!!!.....Yes probably wrong but still dishy.....Ingo and Eileen and Mumbles and RH made the POOR list!!.......FYI = R187 = Don't count out Willow. She is headed for the deep end.

Mo is insufferable. His YouTube show only exists for his guests to discuss HIM.

R187 Also, on that night Ava made it clear she had cameras everywhere, when she told them she would check on them for Leo. Will Ava or Trina discover it first? And, what will they do? Neither of them like Esme and would happily bring about her downfall.

And, for once Joss will have a real reason to be an all out mini-Carly bitch to Esme. She has made it very clear she considers Sonny's family her family, and Esme just caused her "cousin" to be born brain dead. She is not long for the world of PC. This is one of those things that is unredeemable. Someone will kill her, sooner or later. Also, she isn't a fun villain. Nell was fun, I got tired of her by the end but she was always entertaining. Esme is just boring.

R188 I don't believe anything about that list. Unless Mary Beth Evans has some gambling addiction we don't know about there is no way her net worth is $200,000. She has been a steady working actress for almost 40 years also she is married to a cosmetic surgeon. I'm sure they probably own property in California. Just a simple tract house, in today's market, would make her net worth higher than $200,000. Not to mention she is a producer of her own web soap, that takes money.

Also, I love her on DAYS, but I honestly seem to have blocked her GH character Katherine Bell from my memory. I don't remember her at all and she appeared from 1993-99 which were all years that I avidly watched.

Who is this mess posting on Deadline?

"Alan Sarapa on December 13, 2021 6:16 pm Fire Nancy Lee Grahn! I stand with Ingo and Steve. They are 51. Still young enough to be romantic leads. She is 65. Too old to have a love story. Jax and Jason are more important characters than Alexis. She is supporting. They are leading. Jax needs to reunite with Carly and Jason with Britt. Alexis is useless. Nancy is responsible for everything."

She was also on ATWT for several years, albeit mostly in a recurring role.

R193 I have memories of her on there, I just cannot even picture her character on GH, it's like a black hole. I still have memories of Nurse Jessie Brewer, and she wasn't much more than a glorified extra by the end. But, I just do not remember her.

Was her character memorable? Did she do anything memorable?

Katherine and Stefan could have been a supercouple.....I honestly believe that. Then they put her with Nickolas which was stupid....Mary Beth Evans was on the show and they purposely kept her character from Stefan when everyone thought GH was going to do a Steve and Kayla type romance....Until Katherine and Stefan met on Wyndamere and he accidently shot her (thinking she was Luke)...

LINK = Mary Beth Evans could play evil (a side viewers never saw from her DAYS)........Video = Katherine back from the dead and shows up at her own murder trial...Notice the resemblance between Katherine and the amazing Helena Cassadine? Rumors were flying at the time that was where the show was heading..

R195 I have vague recollections now, wasn't she also the only person to "die" from falling off the parapets at Wyndemere twice? I think she fell once and someone saved her, but then the same person then pushed off of it a few months later and killed her for good. I think it was Helena?

Alan Sarapa is a very homely mess who still lives with his parents in his mid 30’s. Look him up but be forewarned - he is UGLY!

Oh yes, Weirdo John Who Doesn't Seem To Understand When Capitalizing a Word Is Appropriate and When It Is Not

Weirdo John is SO creepy! His twitter is filled with twinks 2 generations younger than him. Definitely a pedo.

wowow

It's over.

Chad needs to just come over to the gay side. These little frauettes can't take the DoD.

Shocking!! Jesus, even everyone on here knew this marriage wouldn’t last. Why didn’t they know it? The dick of death strikes again. Kristen Alderson must be chuckling somewhere.

2 months! Certainly this real life short lived marriage was way more interesting than any storyline that Michael has been involved in on the show

I mean damn, don't they have to feel embarrassed after their wedding/PR event? I would've just held out for at least six months, because I wouldn't want people to know it was over that fucking quick.

I'll bet the guests are feeling a little bamboozled right now and would like their gifts back...

R207 I can see LW cornering him in his dressing room, "I want my espresso maker back!"

Then Wes in his dressing room, whispering in his ear: "call me, big daddy!"

DL had this scoop days ago.....Congrats to whoever it was who posted it...Somethings wrong with CD. Mid 30s and sounds like a serial cheater. Should have it out of his system by this point in his life..............In Better News = Chase is hitting the Sauna this week on GH.....Scenes with Finn. Too bad Michael didn't sneak in to chat with Chase the only person he has sexual chemistry with in Port Charles..Chase reminds me of a hot guy I once met. He was visiting from out of town and looked super masculine. But unfortunately those guys are total sissy bottoms in the bedroom.

R209 Then they can reenact Wes' famous chrome sucking scene.

Has Mo changed his position on Michael and Sonny being at odds? Because it seems like they are setting them up for a major falling out. I don't see Michael, as he has been of late, just forgiving Sonny for getting Brad released and "cheating" with Nina.

Does anyone else get the feeling that due to Jax and Jason's sudden departures has placed us some sort of holding pattern these last few weeks? Because those two characters would've been major parts of the Sonny(Mike)/Nina fallout. Also, I think it forced them to try and pad out the other stories to the point that they seem to be moving at a glacial pace. Victor's return should have really heated up by now. Not complaining because I think a show called General Hospital should always feature medical drams, but the Brando and Sasha baby story would have been over and done in one or two episodes most of the time. And Curtis' daddy issue is taking longer than CD stays married.

You are right R212. You can really tell they have had to scramble. The editing the other day was very strange. Sonny and Carly at the Metro Court talking to Selina then five minutes later Carley says that they were not even open yet. Then who did Mrs Wu get in the restaurant? I imagine the Brando and Sasha actors are happy for the extra work.

Wonder how hard these Liam Mike scenes were for the Sasha actress. Didn’t she just have a baby boy in real life? At least after they turn him off we won’t have to hear that stupid name anymore.

Nothing like a dead baby storyline at Christmas.

r215 are you kidding? they're doing that?

R214 she is handling it very well, on screen. I’m certain she will be submitting these for the Emmy. They really need to have Sasha show more emotion during other times. As does Willow. The one time she gave a performance where I was like “ok, this girl CAN act,” was when Chase told her that her baby was dead. They write them both so flat the rest of the time that when they write them really showing emotion you are like wow!

Please speed up the Sonny and Carly nonsense. Laura Wright needs to go on a Genie Francis-like break. #freesonny.

Sanctimonious Michael wants Nina and Brad to pay for their crimes but his gangster family and friends walk free.

They had Austin telling Maxie yesterday that she knew he couldn’t discuss Peter’s condition which got me thinking, is Brit his next of kin? His daughter is a minor and “missing.” His father is dead, his mother is presumed dead. Anna is his aunt. So I guess if decisions have to be made Brit would be the one followed by Anna?

Mo is the most narcissistic actor on soaps. He beats even God Bless Eric Braeden, who never even bothered to start a YouTube channel to sucker his colleagues and former bosses into “interviews” only to discuss how much of a prick he is and how they dealt with it. Let’s see if JFP or Maura give this dumb platform the time of day.

I never knew I could hate an inanimate object as much as I hated that towel Chase was wearing in the steam room.

Everyone running around asking “is Peter dead yet…is he dead?!” Is borderline comical.

I thought I saw a link to the next PC thread but when I went to click on it It was gone. Am I going crazy, lol? If there is a next thread can someone please post the link here?

Swickard really has mastered the art of pec acting.

Michael is offended by Nina over Sonny?....If Michael really admired Sonny he would be buying a strip club and doping up one of the strippers so he can have sex with her. Just like Saint Sonny...

Sonny/Mo are awful. No one wants to work with him! He is NOT a god!

There's no new thread because this one hasn't been paywalled yet. If it locks up suddenly, just do a search for Dateline Port Charles. We've been sticking to that format to make it simpler to find.

Does Nina not know Michael is a killer?..That he has been in prison?...He was on parole?.....He was a drunk and got arrested for DUI?....And HE is the moral authority of Nina?....I think not...A shame Nina has to play second fiddle to this closet case.

The pacing and editing has been terrible for awhile now. The show is really a mess. You’ll get a scene with two characters and then not see them for two weeks. Storylines/beats are constantly dropped (no fallout from the bomb at Jason and Carly’s wedding?) However, the one consistent thing is Carly, Carly, Carly. If they slashed LW’s episode guarantees and cut a bunch of useless characters, got rid of Frank and the writers, this show could be much better.

They should re-center the show around a gay, European hustler who's got an enormous schwanz.

I hear Wes Ramsey's available!

Mo/Sonny are tanking all of ABC. I’d love to watch a Youtube channel where drunk NLG spends every hour talking shit and ripping hack Mo to shreds. If Mo was that great, GH wouldn’t have a 1.4 rating. Fat Reva in Peapack on GL brought in more viewers.

So will the special Christmas episode this year be Sasha letting the baby die? How joyous.

Well, they could always dress it up in a little elf suit and wheel it around town "Weekend at Bernie's" style like they did with Anthony Zaccara.

Apologies to baby Liam, but nobody was going to be able to celebrate X-mas in Port Charles this year as Jason is dead

Dead

DEAD!!

The best thing this holiday season has been Chase in that sauna.

Is Tracey coming home for a Christmas visit?

Merry Christmas loves. Always, Roxie.

And a lizard in a pine tree...

When is Sonny finally leaving the show so Mo can finally fulfill his dreams, make it big, and make another cast/network miserable?

r237 Should be time for a new thread soon, Roxie.

She is R236. The Spencer actor posted a photo of himself in the hair and makeup room and accidentally caught JE on the monitor behind him. Tracey was at the Haunted Star and holding what looked like a blue urn.

New thread for when this one locks up:

Gasp! Luke's ashes? That would be a Krampus treat.
