Big disappointment about Becky. I have always admired her, and enjoyed her character. Guess that leaves Lucky with the little Irish chick and Nick with Brooklyn. Ugh!

I am so sad about this. I called Anne Sweeneys office and got to speak with someone to express just how disappointing this was. Cancelled the series on my DVR. This was the last straw for me

what baffles me is that I have heard the writer's say that they know where the story is going to be one year out - so, have they been planning this for that long? Rebecca is a great actress, has one awards, has a huge history - and by reading her co-workers tweets...they are all devastated to see her leave. She sounds like a wonderful person in real life as well.

Just don't understand why they felt her 'storyline' was over... I can think of a ton of scenarios to keep her for forever.

This show is turning out to be the pits. Is Brenda done too? From what I have read - yes. Ok, so this big huge plan to bring her back backfired. They need new writers and producers. If they brought her back and picked up the Sonny & Brenda story from long ago and didn't do the whole Dante thing and Carly upset for the millionth time it might've worked.

So sad for Becky. Loved her with Lucky when they were younger but they outgrew each other and I really loved her with Jason. If they had stuck with that story line and let it evolve she might not be leaving now.

Too bad.

I have to say I like Becky herself but I don't care for Elizabeth anymore, I loved her in the very begining when she had spunk. She was the Bad Weber & Sarah was the Good Weber.

Oh no, we can't have Jason with anyone but Sam! She is the most awesomest woman since she can run around in 10inch heals and wield a gun ya know.

Vanessa Marcil is not pregnant. She is not leaving the show. The only big name to be leaving is Rebecca Herbst. The writing will be shifting in February, and we will see the results.

 

[Disneynutbsv]

I did email ABC about what I think of their decision about Becky Herbst....

I watched all last weeks episodes this morning and it took me about an hour and 30 minutes with all the ff I did.
I love the storyline of Michael & Abby & Carly
Liz/Nic & Brooklynn (don't like her)...
tolerated the Jasam scenes and Molly & Sonny scenes and that's about it. Oh and I did think the scene with Robin & the wedding planner was funny.

Its pretty sad the way things are going with my favorite soap

Bring on some Steve and Olivia action! Seriously...the guy is too hot just to wear a labcoat all day.

 

[Worfiedoodles]

I just watched today's episode -- and I think it is the best one I have seen in weeks! The actress who plays Molly is great, and as I was introduced to her new friend, I kept thinking I was hoping he was sticking around, because he seems to be able to act circles around another relatively new addition -- I have a feeling I'm going to get my wish! Trying not to be too spoilerly, but finally excited about a day of GH -- and it's been a long time coming! I even found Carly palatable, and you know that doesn't happen often

I admit I'm still forwarding Scrubs because I find the new doctor unwatchable...but it was great to see Sean-Douglas (oops, I mean Matt! with some screen time).

Great scenes with Michael and his storyline, Lucky and Lulu, too, and the end of the show had my mouth wide open saying, "What?!" -- I am lovin' this!

I fired GH last week. Tired of all of the new people. Have been watching for over 30 years. It is almost as hard as quitting smoking but enough is enough. Want to see GH not MOB Central or The Carly/Jason/Sonny Show.

 

[3Leafs]

Maria I agree with you on yesterday's show. It was great just to see the spencer clan chat it up!

 

[Worfiedoodles]

Maria I agree with you on yesterday's show. It was great just to see the spencer clan chat it up!

I love it when they show siblings, particularly the Spencers. It's rare they're all in the same room. The cherry on top would have been to see Nik just wander in, so he could add his 2 cents about lying to your significant other

I really cannot stand Terrell, and it has nothing to do with Scrubs, which I like but don't love like some people do. The actor just makes me cringe. Maybe he'll grow on me...Spinelli did. I vote they find a way to keep the new Marine. I predict Alexis is going to give him a piece of her mind for sort of diagnosing Molly. Carly likes him, Alexis must hate him. Those are the rules. I wonder if Lainie will start to get more airtime? Lots of mental illness floating around PC! Of course, I also voted that Ric Lansing should have never left, so they clearly aren't listening to my opinion

Still wondering if Alexis knows Carly considers herself Molly's aunt -- but I guess it could be weirder.

Love, love, lovin' Michael and Abby -- I think this is one of the better storylines they have right now. So much more compelling than Brenda and her men...

One thing I keep trying to figure out is why does Brenda seem so comfortable with going to the altar with Sonny again after what he did to her last time? She was devastated when he left her at the altar when they were supposed to get married before, yet she's headed to the altar with him again, seemingly so sure that history won't repeat itself. Why?

 

[Simba's Mom]

Is it possible that RH's leaving the show is tied into a need to give Tyler Christopher something to do so that he doesn't leave? Sacrifice her because TPTB want to keep him? I remember reading that he was unhappy without a storyline, so considering leaving. Just lately, it seems like Brooke Lynn is going crazy with obsession for him and targetting Liz as a possible "rival".

I think your thoughts have merit, I also think it's about cutting the bottom line.

I don't mind Brook Lyn with Nik, but I haven't seen a real "spark" there. I frankly liked her better with Johnny. As for Nik, I think I would have another Cassadine story up my sleeve for him to dig in to. That would make more sense, and also could open up some interesting new possibilities. It seems like if you aren't involved with Brenda in some way, your chances of having a storyline are slim...

I'm not liking Brooke and the way she butts in between Liz and Nik. She's right that Liz is playing him, but it's none of her business. I also think Nik is a huge wimp for not telling Brooke to knock it off.

On another note, was anyone else amused by the way Olivia looked and acted when she was released from the hospital? Her hair and make-up were perfect and she was even wearing jewelry. After major abdominal surgery, she stood straight up and happily folded her clothes. When she decided she needed to talk to Dante in the hallway, she grabbed his arm and pulled him out of the room, then folded her arms across her as she chewed him out. She was even up to eating out with Steve on the way home, even though she wanted to cook for him instead! I just got my dad out of the hospital last month after surgery and he could barely stand up, let alone look so cute and perky! Then when Olivia got home, she was clutching her stomach while Steve helped her to the couch and made her a grilled cheese. I guess all that bouncing around at the hospital finally caught up with her. I just wish they'd make things a tad more realistic!

I was so psyched to see them in a scene alone together, they could almost have just recited the alphabet and it would have been fine with me! I loved the looks he was giving her. That was much more compelling than just about anything (with the exception of Michael's story) on right now. I did think she was moving awfully fast in the hospital -- but I didn't dwell on it too much because someone needs to tell Dante to mind his own business...

So what does everyone think about Michael's admission? I think the scenes with Jason and Michael have been fantastic the past 2 days.

 

[LeslieG]

Did I hear Brenda right yesterday when she said she was with Suzanne, that she was sick, and when she woke up her baby was gone? I'm wondering if the baby is still alive and that Suzanne took it?
