They need to give Nina more to do. Now that she's not moping over Sonny or having sex with Drew, she's only supporting Willow, having friendly chats with Ava, and putting make-up on Drew's beaten face. I think it's time for her to have an affair. Dr. Gannon? Curtis? Ned?

Amanda Setton isn't Orthodox but I believe her husband is Conservative. I saw a photo of him in a suit and wearing a yarmulke.

Does anyone else on GH get to write their own job description or just her? (Mo excluded).

R48 True. Steve refuses to take his shirt off, unless he's absolutely convinced that it's necessary for the scene. Laura Wright was body shamed years ago when she started gaining weight, being compared to Kim Zimmer and Paula Deen. As referenced here before, she also refuses to have Carly get slapped anymore or lose a fight, such as when Sam beat Carly up or when Robin slapped her during the Guza years. Jonathan also has script approval in his contract; if he doesn't like something in the script, he can change it.

Steve also refused to do triangles that were Male/Female/Male, which was somewhat of a sticking point when he returned in 2017. To his credit, neither Billy Miller nor Kelly Monaco wanted to play the triangle angle either. Dominic Zamprogna wasn't a fan of Male/Female/Male triangles either, for he was non too thrilled about the planned Dante/Lulu/Johnny triangle, along with the Dante/Lulu/Dustin triangle as well.

They were both fine with Female/Male/Female triangles, for Steve wanted a Robin/Jason/Sam triangle when Robin returned in 2005, however Kimberly McCullough vetoed that, while Dominic was fine with the Lulu/Dante/Valerie triangle.

Ain't that the truth? If he could get away with it, he would Kelly Mocano her in a second.

I have no problem allowing the actors to have some input in how they portray a scene, but why sign up for a soap opera if you're going to put all these restrictions on the character? It's acting. It's not real.

But this is the show where potential pairs get killed all the time because an actor complains. One actor put the kibosh on a planned interracial pairing because her husband was a racist, and her fanbase wouldn't have liked it. They killed a planned gay storyline because an actor complained.

A lot of these people need to switch over to that Candace Camerone Bure Jesus Network.

That would leave Nina without a daughter or grandkids and supposedly Drew gone too. Either bring back Nelle for Nina or Nina will be on the chopping block?

Steve Burton’s refusal (for the most part) to do love scenes has been an albatross to this show for what, 20 years. It would be one thing if they hadn’t also insisted on making him the primary romantic male lead for most of that time, but with that being the case a lot of hot actresses (including Kelly) have been wasted on him.

I remember when he had had the no love scenes rule for like 10 years already and the word went out that he was going to make an exception for a scene with Jason/Liz. This was hyped so much & when the episode arrived this scene literally consisted of him taking his shirt off for 2 seconds then them falling behind the couch. That was it. I laughed so hard!

Berman often came across as harsh and angry (more so than feisty), which I assume was either her read on Lulu or her own personality coming through, but even so she was far more interesting and engaging in the role. Lulu has always been a "so what" type of character. Like she was created strictly for the Nikolas reveal scene. I remember early on she had more crazy, out-of-nowhere jobs than Valerie and Sasha combined. Poorly written character from the get-go, and in the hands of the wrong actress just deadly.

R90 100% in agreement with you. Remember Frank placed Genie on recurring back in 2018, only for her to have her contractual status reinstated shortly afterwards.

In regards to the actors dictating storylines, Ron even commented that the "monkeys are running the zoo."

Right LW absolutely wanted out of the interracial storyline with Shawn, particularly because of her ex-husband and her frau fanbase. She went as far to say Carly with either Patrick, Johnny or even Jax again were her preferred matches. The gay storyline- are you referencing Enzo De Angelis?

Well making the departure sound permanent sure did get Chad some free publicity.

Michael will come back right after Sofia Mattson comes back from her maternity leave. Michael's first scene back will be him doing the math on his fingers as to when Sasha conceived the kid she's prancing around with. Sasha will deny it's his so that she doesn't have to deal with Snarly as a grandmother.

Maybe he wants to audition for the pilot season. With all the forced pay cuts and lackluster writing, maybe he just saw this as the right time to see if anything else is out there. It can't be easy watching younger actors come on the show, stay for a couple of years, and then book high-profile shows and ad campaigns, not to mention top representation, while his stories and characters aren't allowed to do anything except what Maurice wants. Poor guy.

That's a huge list of contract players, interesting to see it.

But I have to assume contracts in 2024 are quite different than in 1994 or 2004. It used to be that contracts generally meant a 2 to 3 episode a week guarantee, if not greater, and better pay.

A contract for these folks is probably not as much pay and a much smaller guarantee of appearances, likely stated as X number of appearances in a month or in a 13 week cycle, with a statement of what they get per episode if they are in any extra.

The pay is probably not so substantially different than those on recurring, but it's a status symbol and there is some security with one's job, as much as a 13 week guarantee can be secure.

Nowadays, the only thing a contract is good for is guaranteeing work; you will know how much you're getting paid for the cycle. The nature of the business has changed; recurring characters now carry stories. When soaps changed how they're shot and edited, a recurring actor can come in one day a week and shoot enough scenes for eight different episodes in one day. With that kind of flexibility, actors can book multiple gigs.

Take, for instance, someone like James Patrick Stuart. He was making well above scale, but he's cheaper on recurring than a contract because they only use him when he's needed. They are not locked in on a specific number of episodes a week or a cycle.

Just my opinion, but it makes a soap opera feel richer when you can cycle characters in an out as story dictates.

R180, we're all confused. Presumably, the story will play itself out and we will learn what role, if any, Cyrus played in interfering with Lulu's medical equipment and giving Sam the fatal dose of digitalis. Or, it will be one more story that leads nowhere, like "who shot Austin Gatlin-Holt?"

by Anonymousreply 181December 1, 2024 9:44 PM

R180 Speculation is that Cyrus offed Sam, in an effort to give Lulu an opportunity to have Dante back, instead of him marrying Sam, so he had to get her out of the way. There's also speculation that he tried to do the same to Lulu beforehand, when things looked bleak, as a way to get her out of her misery, since she wasn't really showing any signs of improvement.

Cyrus is why Lulu was comatose for five years, since the bomb that led to her condition was of his doing. He's claiming that he's reformed, though it's all an act. He's trying to make amends with his sister Laura and her children/grandchildren.

by Anonymousreply 182December 1, 2024 10:04 PM

I wish they continued with the storyline that Cyrus was a radio preacher. I think it could have led to a great cult storyline where the young people were becoming indoctrinated...although didn't someone put a stop to Dawn of Day? For you R180, over the past two years, these storylines have never been solved:

Who Killed Dr. Austin Gatlin-Holt? Who is Pikeman? Who bought Wyndermere and Spoon Island? Who tried to kill Lulu? Who killed Sam McCall? Who killed Jagger Cates (we know it was Sonny but never mentioned since Alexis's acquittal and the investigation stopped) Who beat up Cyrus Renault? (we know it was Sonny but he was never arrested or fully investigated) Who are Giolin's real parents? (We get deer in the headlight faces from Lois and Brook Lynn whenever he mentions his "mom") Who are Dex's real parents? (basically dropped after a few mentions)

by Anonymousreply 183December 1, 2024 10:04 PM

Never heard that before, but not especially surprised. Coby's Shiloh was quiet good and was one of my favorites. I'd much rather watch him than sputtering Sonny.

Of course, cult storylines have never gone over well with the networks. Edge of Night had a cult storyline in 1978-79 that ended abruptly at the mandate of the network, following the Jonestown massacre. So, perhaps that factored into the show ending that storyline.

Maybe Alan Locher should do a Locher Room show devoted to people who were let go from GH due to Mo's fragile ego -- Ted King, Will DeVry, Coby Ryan McLaughlin. Who else would be on that show?

Alexa Havins woke Lulu up from that coma and hit the ground running both literally and figuratively. She has had a lot to play and she’s been pitch perfect. I can’t recall a recast working so well out of the gate. GH and Uncle Frank got this right. I look forward to her scenes with Genie tomorrow.

Eva LaRue has just been so forgettable in this dead end role. I loathe Sonny and glad to see another failed relationship for him. She will be out soon. Ric has been such a surprisingly good return. Unlike Lucky they seemed to know what to do with Ric. FemLucas and Brad isn't a rehash we need to see again. Danny is proving he has no acting range.

R277 Sorry, left before seeing your reply but yes, Holly Gagnier is a private acting coach that the actors have to pay for out of their own pockets. I should've added that if an actor has extra money, along with extra time, they can pay for acting lessons, for she comes highly recommended.

No, GH no longer has an onset acting coach, but I know what you're referring to; back when younger actors such as Kimberly McCullough, Jonathan Jackson, Amber Tamblyn, Becky Herbst, etc. as well as many of the older actors studied with full-time onset acting coach John Homa, father of professional golfer Max Homa. GH can't afford another full-time acting coach at this time.

I thought Holly Gagnier was the best of the many Cassies on OLTL. Dominic's performance is subdued and nuanced. I think he is playing the shock and confused emotions that Dante would feel in this situation. As an actor, you shouldn't always go "over the top" and, in a daytime drama, you have the opportunity to simmer, to play out the variety of emotions not in one scene but across weeks. The new Lulu: a winner. The return of Lucky: a bust. And where is Isaiah? Wouldn't he and Lulu make a good couple? Please give us more interesting stories, not another annoying scene of Sonny and Natasha, or Kristina being ridiculous.

She primarily talks about her directing career. About 70-75% of the talk was about her directing.

Didn't talk all that much about GH. She did say that she had 12 interviews with GH before they finally gave her the role of Robin. And that the other final contender for the role was for Shiri Appleby.

She also talked some about the impact of the Stone dying of AIDS storyline and how people were writing her telling how that storyline had changed someone's attitudes about people with AIDS or made them more tolerant of people with AIDS. What she said about that was very moving.

Also said she is still in awe of Finola. Adores Tristan. Would be really sad if they ever recast Robin.

Right? Fuck Kimberly McCullough not wanting to return but perpetuating a “sad” tone if they recast.

Kill her offscreen then and bring her kids to live with Anna.

Selfish of Kimberly to not want to return yet not want the role recast. Why does she have a say in the matter anyway? They should recast to give Anna story line and stipulate to the recast that if something happens to Tristan or the show ends, the OGRobin will be back for the farewell episode to Tristan or the final episode of the show.

Sputtering Mo's stammering, stilted speech to Kristina about giving her Charlie's was awful. That little James kid probably could have done better.

She has a say because of social media.

Fans won’t support a recast until she does.

by Anonymousreply 495December 10, 2024 3:32 PM

If Kimberly knows she holds the social media card, then that makes me dislike her for holding the character hostage. If she loves Finola so much, why doesn't she want to help guarantee her continued employment? Especially now that Finola has gone through a divorce. Selfish.

What's interesting about Kimberly McCullough not wanting to return yet not wanting a recast is that others have shared the same sentiments, particularly Vanessa Marcil until she eventually returned in 2010. After that, especially when she returned for the 50th anniversary, she began to let go of the character and is now all for a recast.

Agreed R495 if she approves then her fans will follow suit.

Wrinkle Neck WSB clown really needs to go. The show (brilliantly) brings back Lulu and promptly screws it up by mixing her storyline into the "wheres Valentin" cement? For a month everyone is talking about Valentin. The show should have put Charlotte back on canvas when Lulu woke up. Now it's just blah blah blah.

It's like having a trump card in your back pocket. In case work dries up everywhere else, you can always return to General Hospital where your character is beloved and still missed.

Of course, it didn't work for Antonio Sabato, Jr. but many others still have that attitude.

Well, speaking of Brenda Barrett, it seems her onscreen father is DEAD TO US.

Unless they put Brennan with Anna, I just don't think he's going to last on GH. I highly doubt LW wants to be paired with a man of his age. Her ego dictates she be with one of the leading men (specifically Steve Burton) or someone who is considered eye candy like Cameron Mathison or maybe a new young stud.

He was never a great actor. Adequate at best. Early castings were mainly about his beauty, not his acting abilities.

With his looks fading as he aged, his career options were limited. This would be true regardless of whether he was liberal or conservative.

Sabato could have gone the route of, say, John Wesley Shipp. John's a better actor but his career options narrowed as he aged, and he's continued working, mining a bit of fanbase love for his 1990s Flash by taking a role in the recent version of that show. Now he works the comic-con circuit for part of the year.

Sabato was really limited to begin with, but I think also - politics aside - he didn't know how to play the game and be in the system. No reason he couldn't have been on an NCIS or Chicago Fire or Chicago Burn Unit or Chicago Sewer System kind of show.

Why are people speculating Felicia will be Cyrus' next victim? She's on contract and part of the newly formed Scorpio/Jones/Bell/Corbin blended family.

Would Frankie V. fire Kristina Wagner after the tragedy in her life? Is she an expensive vet? Is she the "high profile" exit?

Cyrus going down in GH history as the Digitalis Killer? Too bad they couldn't have kept Cyrus as the formidable villain he was when he first came on the show. But that was too much competition for sputtering Mo's fragile ego.

Goofy, expendable lunatic Heather should have been the one thinning the cast before she left town or was killed.

R529 That's based off of Felicia being involved in this story regarding Cyrus showing his true colors again. Frank would stoop that low, however, she's not expensive and there would be fan uproar, though Frank does what he wants, with network approval. If anything, it'll be easier to place her back on recurring status, instead of flat out firing her and having Felicia offed, but the show is planning to apparently raise the stakes. Chris Van Etten, with backing from Frank and the network, most likely decided against Heather, because of their adoration for Alley Mills.

Well I suppose killing off a vet like Felicia would work in ABC's favor with whatever lawsuit Kelly Monaco has in the works. Cumulatively, Kristina Wagner has been on GH for much longer than Kelly's 21 years. Her first contract run was 1984-2003, then recurring on and off for years and now back on contract since 2021.

The stabbing of Dex annoyed me for several trivial reasons:

He’s pouring liquid into a trash can? That’s a dick move. Pour the alcohol out onto the grass (or even the concrete) then put the bottles into the can (or better yet, recycling). ♻️ Anyone who has ever had to empty trash cans knows how awful it can be when some douchetastic orthodontist’s dream empties liquid into the receptacle.

Then, he’s stabbed, drops to the ground, and is discovered by his partner (who was given the actual line, “There’s nothing to see here.”!) —when she kneels down, Dex speaks perfectly to her… she radioes in the assault. Why hadn’t Dex radioed in during the time they were looking for him?

On the plus side, Wagner did the best acting I can remember in the moments when the camera panned to her and she was silently looking in the direction and Dex and semi-hidden trash receptacle.
