GH



At some point when I was not paying attention, which could well be any time in the past 2 months, truth be told, NDAC (New DA Chick) became an actual character with lines and input and everything, even getting to the status of being the one who gave Milo information about Max’s condition. lolwhut? I expected Milo to lean in and say, “You’re WHO, exactly, again?” because I keep having to do that to remind me of who she is. Incidental characters need to lurk around for a minimum of 3 months before giving anyone, particularly an established character, critical medical information. That’s just some kind of soap opera law.

Always leave’em wanting more is, I guess, the standard for casting in this situation. Sarah Joy Brown will exit the role of Claudia Zacchara Corinthos with November sweeps. Brown tweated messages suggesting that she was finished with the show and now GH has confirmed her exit. I’m thinking ol’ Sonny is about to become a widow yet again. The question is whether that frees him up to horndog his way right into Olivia’s bed next to Johnny or if the soon-to-be-divorced Carly (c’mon, no way will she stay with Jax after it comes out that she knew Claudia was involved with Michael’s shooting). Either way, I don’t imagine a character like Claudia will ease off canvas into the sunset like Ric Lansing. Her exit is bound to be explosive. After seeing how Johnny is a bullet magnet, I imagine the Zaccharas do not possess the bulletproof mightiness of Jason, so Claudia will no doubt end up the victim or her father’s machinations. Let’s face it folks. She’s a character who had great potential, but she’s no Faith Roscoe. Personally, I just love that when she stands around as Claudia, she stands with her hand on her hip like Morticia Addams. *heart!* Supposedly, SJB has a movie role coming up in November.

RIP, Andrea Floyd. Another cardboard character goes into the fire.

Um… what was this about a family being torn apart by a death or never being the same or something?? Did I miss something? Did someone besides Andrea Floyd die? Which family is destroyed over this? *taptaptap* Is this thing on?

Scuttlebutt rumored that Luke’s cell mate is none other than a very undead Stavros, held captive by Helena. Other rumors say that this story was scrapped with the Mischa story. Figures. Call me cynical and bitter if you want. Pfft, I dun care.

Rick Springfield = nude scene = CALIFORNICATION = saaaalute!

Steve Burton is content to let stunt men take over the rough stuff, such as the knock down, drag out fight with Jerry in the abandoned church. Burton told Soap Opera Digest, “Not me, brother. I’m too old for it. Back in the day, my hair would protect me, but now it won’t because I don’t use that much hairspray any more.”
