WSB: Nujack is starting to take over the role. 1st Jack was more smooth, charming, and cunning. This jack can't do that, but he does a brooding and intelligent guy well. So far he's maintaining the character. Trainer Von is, in looks and demeanor, sort of Frisco Jones Redux, but being a knockoff of a great character is not bad.
The Sidwell clan: Nice how they took mos to build this family- actually a couple of years- first Blaze, then mama, then Sidwell, and now Marco- And both children look like their parents. Sidwell hopefully is a long term baddy and by giving him some virtues, unlike say The Balkan, they have made him likable. The hint that it was Natalia's homophobia that wrecked their clan, with 2 gay kids- is an interesting tack, and makes Sidwell a mirror of Sonny- the ruthless criminal with a social conscience. Also having a Latino vlan prominent in PC is a welcome change.
The Ashfords: Whereas the Sidwells are growing and engaging, this clan is dying on the vine. Curtis is still a rock, but he needs to be an action hero, not a desk jockey. Portia is grating on me. Time for her to don a bikini. Trina is a total mess. Granny Stella's friendship w Tracy needs to grow. It's good that Hatman is Gonzo. Kai has potential so the operation will likely fail. TJ needs to be recast. Jordan needs to be made Mayor. Have Laura brought down by this new DA, and Anna, too.
Sonny and clan: Just die. Please? All of you.
Q's: Tracy and Martin have stolen all the shows they've bantered in.
Scorpios: Anna needs to be exposed as corrupt. Mac needs to join the PC Chuds. Flea, too. Ditto for Maxi. Where is Robert? he has a new daughter and risks riding Holly's mountains before he can get close w his newfound daughter?
The Spencers: Sucky needs to die, not Ric. Liz's sons have potential, but only if Sidwell buries Sucky.

I agree that NuJack is settling into the role. I liked the first one better, but at least this one has smoothly transitioned without distraction. I don’t like the WSB trainer, I don’t think he’s a very good actor. I dislike the whole Joss joins the WSB SL, though, I don’t think Joss would be willing to live a life that’s secret from her friends and family.
I like the Sideell character and glad they aren’t making him into a cartoon villain like Cates or Boyle. I also like the fact that if we have to get stuck with Natalie, at least she has a SL other than fawning over Sonny.
I like the way they’ve re-vamped Stella’s character. She used to be a nagging, meddling judgmental character. Now she’s interesting and layered as a patient advocate and friend of Tracey. She and Curtis are the best written Black characters currently on GH in my opinion. As you know, I can’t stand Trina and think Tabyana is a terrible actress.
I would like to see Sonny have a major heart attack and retire from the mob. Let Brick take it over (not Jason). Brick can maybe joint forces with Selina. Relegate Sonny to a retired doting father and future grandfather, boring but tolerable. No more godfather talking in low, breathy sentences.
Kristina needs to spend time in prison or Ferncliff and come out a full blown psycho like Lisa Niles. I don’t see any other path for her at this point.
Tristan Rigers is 78. I don’t see him involved in any more major DL’s.
I hate Sucky. Bringing him back was pointless, and I don’t think he and Liz have chemistry anymore.
I like NuLucas, also Isaiah, though it irritates me that he’s Sonny’s personal doctor, at his beck and call. Why does everyone have to be personally involved with Sonny?
I’m hoping Drew’s SL will turn into a murder mystery. Soon.

I agree with everything you said Kathy except for two points. I think the transition from Charles Mesure to Chris McKenna was a bit distracting. Any recast is a distraction from the storyline and more so in this case that the character when from Australian to American. However, I have warmed up to McKenna.
My second point i disagree with is giving Brick more airtime. I hate this character and I think Stephen A Smith is a terrible actor. And admittedly irrelevant but i really hate him as a sports commentator - he's so obnoxious so maybe that folds into part of my dislike for him.
I hate to agree that Liz and Lucky have no chemistry as adults. Its not like it used to be when they were teenagers. Something is off...and I think the "something" is Jonathan Jackson. I am just not vibing his return this time around.
I continue to fast forward Trina scenes. SHE'S SO TERRIBLE!!!
I personally don't care about a return for Robert. As much as I love Diane in storylines, it was hard to root for these two as a couple because Robert doesn't seem like the type of man Diane would go for.
To Cosmo's mention, I don't think TJ needs to be recast but man, they did this character dirty. He loses his kid and wife and then we don't see from him for three months. Tajh Bellow is a good actor and I don't mind him but at this point, not sure where he fits if they are putting Molly with Cody.
Maybe unpopular opinion but I'd like to see more of Yuri and Terry together. Both of them have been on canvas this past month but not in the same scenes. I know they are side characters but maybe explore this relationship a bit more.

Yeah I just mentioned Brick randomly, but it’s true that his acting is wooden. I just think Sonny needs to retire and Jason shouldn’t be the one to take over. Maybe Selina can take over.

No one wants Robert in an action role but as a papa getting to know his child is doable

SAS make JJY look like Olivier.
