Quoting limited to 4 levels deephttps://instagram.com/p/1uRkejoCju/
Well we have way too many townsfolk. That's why. Use the money to get more important characters. But whatever. Frank and Ron are doing to do what they want to.
WTF? This show doesn't have ENOUGH townsfolky type of people. It's way less than it was back in the day, even though the cast is just as big. Most people on today's GH are a criminal, a spy, a villain, have huge, dysfunctional personalities, shady pasts, dark dealings, etc. I'd kill for a few more "regular" folks. I love those type of characters and they provide a nice balance.

She was a HOOT :c: RIP SK :'(

Quoting limited to 4 levels deep I think we did see a different side to Anna and Duke gave Anna something no man had given her- acceptance for who she was. She didn't need to feel guilty about her past with Duke. She told him about what she did and he still loved her and accepted her. In the start of 1985, Anna was all weepy and weak. imo, that's not vulnerable it's pathetic. with Duke, Anna was able to open her heart without fear of rejection or residual guilt.

Duke accepted Anna for who she was? Are you kidding? All his actions back then and now are total demonstrations of a complete lack of respect of who she was and what she was trying to become. Anna was trying to change her life, from being a traitor and a fence to a law-abiding citizen, a police chief and a good mother who kept her child safe. He was the roadblock to all of that. Instead of elevating her and trying to make both of them better, he not only did he cheated on her, she loses her job because of him, and he put her child was in danger and they were all going to go to the WPP because of him. Duke weakened her, and continues to do that. Instead of making good decisions then and now, he choses his own motivations and obsessions over her.
I diagree with you. Duke left the mob for Anna and when he rejoined it- it was to save Anna. It was a sacrifice because he didn't want to do it, but he did it to save Anna. Anna was trying to change her life, but so was Duke. Anna needed someone who accepted her flaws, bcause Duke also had flaws. Neither were perfect and they knew that. Together, they were trying to be better people.

Anna lost her job because of her own choices. and she often put Robin in danger because of her choices and IF she went into WPP, that also would have been her choice. Someone else doesn't make you weak or make choices for you. If Anna was as weak as you say- it was because of herself and no one did that to her.
What show were and are you watching?

Duke made her weak. He only "accepted who she was" because he was also a criminal. He chose to go back into the mob because thats all he knew. Better choice, how about working with the police to try and find her. Bad Choice #1. Sleeping with Olivia, which created the unhealthy obsession resulting in Anna almost dying and her losing her baby: Bad Choice #2 Anna lost her job (not because of her choices, but because of her affiliation with the loser who was tied to the mob) Bad Choice #3. Her going into the WPP, was not her choice. Her affiliation with the loser and what he did left her no choice. If she didn't her and her daughter would be killed to get to Duke. Bad Choice #4

All of the above, because of Duke. Did he EVER do the right thing for the right reasons?

Anna made terrible choice because she was a traitor and a fence. That had nothing to do with Duke. But this fallacy that Duke made her stronger or accepted her for who she was or is, is complete fiction

Is Duke trying to be a better person now? How is choosing Sonny over Anna being a better person?
Beautifully said. :bow:

I just always laugh at post saying that Duke accepted her and made her stronger..GMAFB...Duke had her weak and Robert kept her grounded even the portrayal thought that.

Thanks you. Duke kept Anna from using her head and being the smart ex-agent/police chief she was trained to be. That's why Robert was sometimes hard on her because he thought of Anna as his equal and expected her to think as he would on any given case... Robert didn't let emotions stopped him from doing his job or clouding his better judgements and he expected the same from his equal Anna..I always loved Anna standing strong and not doubting herself and that's why Robert will always be my preference for Anna because he build her up.....All Duke done was humiliate her and break her spirit, he'd get in her face ranting and raving about her ex-husband and then it was him who stuck his penis in another female and a crazy one at that and she cause Anna nothing but turmoil and that was all on Duke. Anna chosen that fool over her daughter was stupid too
All GH women go stupid for dick.

Not even sure what you all are debating here. Anna made bad choices in the name of love. So did Laura. Monica. Lucy. Elizabeth. Felicia. Lila. And nearly every single other woman.
We're debating someone post who claimed that Duke brought out the best in Anna and that he was better for her and us AnnaFF are saying HELL TO THE NAW ON THAT.

So, Anna is super weak person because she lets a man determine who she is. Got it. Faison convinced her to be a double agent. Duke convinced her to ruin her life and put her family in danger. Anna is a weak person.

Horrible what little respect Guza had for Amy. Last we saw her she was waiting at the chapel for Luke and Laura to get remarried back in 2002. He never bothered writing a goodbye Amy/Laura scene or any exit whatsoever. Only reason we even know Amy died is because RC wrote her out when they brought back the Nurse's Ball.

Honest question.

How come 90's vets aren't discussed here?
Isn't Sonny/Brenda 90s vets? And There were a whole discussions about their puerto rico adventure and all our fan favs 80s characters are 80s/90s too. So to answered your ?? Yes, 90s vets are discussed here too.

I loved Ruby. She was a mainstay. The current production pace just doesn't allow that anymore. These 5-10 second scenes are all for plot points. There is no more, the engaging conversation that involved several characters, which is why the roles like Ruby will never happen again. Its very sad. Some days watching the show now, I get whiplash as they cut from scene to scene. I lose interest because it happens so fast. I don't know if other shows do this, but I feel its affected the overall quality and it seems to be affecting ratings. Unfortunately the only characters that get these long drawn out scenes are the pets. The Anniversary show, reminded me of what it used to be like and I really miss. Long scenes with multiple characters and interactions that last more than 30 seconds

Stop speaking for all AnnaFF fans.

I'm not involved in this debate, but I am an AnnaFF and I doubt we share the same brain. There are variations in every fanbase.
