Quoting limited to 3 levels deepshould be.

They've made that less possible with the taping schedule, but still, what that means is that they really
IMO, Lani is a bust because of the actress. I think the way she's been introduced and slowly integrated has been perfect. They just need to recast. And showcase the relationship with her dad more.

With Jordan, her main problem was that they kept hinting at a secret for too long but never revealed what it was until nobody cared anymore.

So I don't think it was the slow integration, it was a matter of different factors at play.
There are episodes where she has one line and that's it. The actress is a problem, but she's far from the only issue.
Well, I think alot of her stuff is being cut, so yes that's another problem. Seems like more of an editing issue than a writing one. But as I said, I do need to see more of her with Abe as well.

Since I creeped on Greg Meng's FB page earlier, I figured I might as well check out BH's husband's Twitter. (I'm desperately procrastinating because...grad school :drunk: ). Anyway, I think he might have indirectly hinted Becky's leaving GH with this response:

[twitter=MichaelSaucedo/status/705184365546844160]

There are some other cryptic responses from February, too. He's quite chatty, apparently. :blulaugh: Seems like a nice guy, though.

I feel like the more WE watch this, the greater the chances are that she's going to Y&R or something, lol.

Too true or B&B. LOLZ. If I'm not mistaken, the current EP at Y&R tried to fire BH back when she was the EP of GH. BH only was re-hired because her fans campaigned like crazy to keep her on GH. So, I'm not sure if there's any residual bad blood there or not. I could see Y&R wanting her, though, since they currently have two of BH's character's ex-lovers on canvas now.

The fact that she was fired during JFP's reign probably means she is not a FOJ, so her landing a role on Y&R is not very likely.

A very slow introduction without a story doesn't help either (eg. Lani, Jordan).
Well, a lame character is a lame character, story or not. Jordan HAD a story, one full one with Rafe and hinted at "background story" potential for eons. And another part of Lani's issue is the actress is dull and somehow has no charisma (which is weird, she seems like a fun girl off stage.) Lani's intro has actually been done pretty well, amazingly... and I want to like her so much (I wanted a Tamara/Abe tie in for a long time!), but SS is just not doing it for me.

I don't know if I would call Jordan's scenes with Rafe a story. When they finally brought Clyde it was too late.

I think 2 episodes/week is an ok way to introduce a new character. It's not too slow and it's not too fast either. But they have to have a clear plan as to what they want this character to be and what is the character's role in the whole picture.
GH introduced a lot of new characters in the last few years. Some of these introductions were really well done.

I cracked up laughing when they start putting Jordan in tight sexy clothes thinking that would make her more interesting. It didn't work for me, the same way getting Lani out of her uniform. Both characters were/are boring.

I wonder if Chrishell Stause regret choosing to play Jordan instead of Theresa.

Petrov, Early to mid 60s. Eastern European intimidating male. He is a professional hitman. His look is professional yet intimidating. He is loyal to those he works for and quite gentlemanly but can be deadly without remorse. One day principal role

From soaps.com, announced on Feb 25th:
Mark Laursen will be seen on "Days of our Lives" in an U/5 (under five) part come this March in scenes with Vincent Irizarry.

The latest Digest "Comings and Goings":

Mark Laursen assumes the role of Petrov.

Looking through his facebook timeline, he has all sorts of very different looks,
so who knows what how he might appear as Petrov.

He's also done a Hilary Clinton impersonation.

---------------------------------- ------------------------------------

His agent refers to a "plot twist appearance".
Soaps.com calls him a U/5 in scenes with Deimos.
Digest says he's Petrov.

I remember Chrishell doing the interview where she spoke about what a big deal they made of Jordan's glasses and how she had to keep them on because it was going to be important later and then how out of the blue they told her to ditch them and it was never even mentioned on screen. The writers failed that character and that story. I know I was interested in her tragic past and so frustrated watching because they wouldn't ever tell her story. It felt bumbled from the start.

My issue with Lani is I have no interest in finding out more about her because SS can't deliver a line to save her life. There are already a bunch of green teens finding their place on the show. I don't need to watch this woman figure out how to act too. She's been put in scenes with much more capable actors and I want a character who brings charisma to the action. Taking Lani out of the cop uniform and giving her more lines to say isn't going to change the strength of her personality. She still comes across mundane.

I'm looking forward to them playing this out - I hope it all ties back in to how/why Stefano took John & turned him into the Pawn in the first place...back to Stockholm & Victor... It needs to all make sense too, and it needs to be the LAST TIME they re-do John's past.

I think he is. And they use him to be the tie between Stefano, Deimos and Winterthorne. Petrov brought John to Stefano/Salem. And it seems Petrov got John from Winterthorne. So maybe Petrov continued supplying henchmen like John to bad guys.

I like that they remember the Petrov Stefano John history. It can't be a mistake John mentioned it Wednesday.

Oh I'm sure Petrov will appear. I was just wondering this actor plays Petrov or one of Petrov's associates. That's all.

I was wondering because soaps.com thought he was a U/5.
