hey, I was flipping channels and I saw the actress who played Annie on AMC on a soap. Was it GH?

No, she plays Chelsea on the Young and the Restless now.

The show has been excellent so far this week. I think Carlivati is really starting to find his footing.

I remember why I stopped watching One Life years ago. Those people are so annoying. Wish they'd brought over Pine Valley folks instead.

I was really hoping they'd at least bring on David from AMC (I mean he does work at a hospital) to be paired up with Anna--they worked so incredibly well together on AMC and this forced pairing with Luke drives me crazy (Carlivati doesn't seem to remember that they were NEVER close friends in the past). But I admit AMC has always been my top soap obsession so I probably would be too easily praised by any crossover.

As a long term OLTL fan I don't mind the crossover--except I was over RH as Todd ages back, and never a big Starr or John fan (I like Tea mainly because of the actress though, and wished there was more Blair). But crossovers always cause issue with me--and yes, I know, it's a soap and I shouldn't over-think this but... Really? Blair is too busy with a kid with a cold to be at her daughter's attempted murder trial? There just have to be so many lapses of logic (John's instant sister keeping him away from the woman and son he was desperate for is another).

I've been mixed on Valentini/Carlivati's run, just as I was mixed with their work on OLTL. They often have very good weeks and then you go through long periods of stories and characters seeming to be forgotten, history being re-written, etc. But I've enjoyed the last week a lot too, I admit. And it definitely has been more watchable than GH has been for a few years--if only they would pull back on charcters fans are tired of like the mob stuff, or on inane, kinda misogynistic writing like having Sam's rape and child be much more about Jason not being able to deal with his demons instead of what happened to her.
