Why is Frank Valentini letting the writers make so many changes, and so quickly?

It's not like switching characters' occupations will raise the ratings. So why sacrifice consistency?

It's one thing to take some characters in new directions, but it's another thing to do an overhaul that makes no real sense.

I think the Sasha story is the most ridiculous. The Quartermaine cook? Olivia wants to hire her based on one recipe she found on the internet?

I have no problems with the character of Sasha and she has had some decent storylines since her debut, but I think she has overstayed her welcome. GH should cut her loose and make room for other characters - like ELIZABETH!!!

I think Elizabeth is going the way Audrey did...an established veteran character that is mother of a main core family, is still used in hospital scenes, but is given fewer stories and is there because she's a familiar presence..

The trusted nurse characters like Jessie Brewer, Audrey Hardy, Bobbie Spencer and Elizabeth Webber are an important part of the show's history...but once they hit a certain age, they get backgrounded.

He is certainly qualified to run the WSB.

YES! Sasha had her big “prisoner of Gladys/Dr. Bad Guy” SL, lost Liam and Brando. Elizabeth has been in the background for too long. Heck, she was a supporting actress in her own feature PTSD SL !!!!

Elizabeth deserves much more as a legacy character. Get her back out front, give her something to sink her teeth into!

BTW, did we get a new Aiden? I was 2 weeks behind, and did a lot of multitasking while watching.

yes. It took me a second to realize cause I knew something was different with him although the similarities are close. But there is a new actor playing Aiden.

Thanks Bratface! They nailed it looks wise. Let’s see how the character develops. Do we know why Enzo DeAngelis left? Did we hear anything ahead of Tristan Riggs just popping up on our screens?

You are welcome. I can't find definitive info about why Riggs took over the part.

I tried to do some research too and I found something on reddit of a poster saying that Enzo DeAngelis' mother wrote on instagram saying Enzo left the role because the character was going into a different direction. Take that with a grain of salt.

Interesting. Thanks Justa. No wonder it got swept under the rug.

I saw that too but it didn't really say much.

What direction are we talking about? This is GH not Netflix. How far from vanilla could it get?
