Aragorn

Maxie is still the most boring character in any scene that she is in regardless of who is playing her. Gregory should hurry up and die. He should take Marshall and Stella with him.

All of Esme's scenes in the last two episodes were very well done. The rest of the show is business as usual.

Adam is going to one of next year's villains. I liked Esme going to Wyndermere and getting her memories back, but I was disappointed that she didn't discover Nikolas in residence there. When Esme turns evil again, she might have Adam, Cyrus, or Heather as potential allies.

I loved this episode! All four Davis girls in a room together. Sasha and Cody together. BLQ, Lois, and Tracy in a room together. Spinelli alone makes an episode worth watching. A Maxie-Spinelli revival is the only thing that would make Maxie interesting to me.

Maxie expressed sorrow that Austin died, but it took a month! Marshall and Stella together? Ugh!

Sasha has now appeared in 80 episodes for 2023. That is a new yearly high the the character. Sasha and Cody are good for each other.

I think that Nikolas is the anonymous buyer of Wyndemere, and will be in residence by Christmas. If Josslyn breaks up with Dex and starts dating Adam, I accept that. Joss and Dex are good at having sex but are boring when the talk to each other. Old Molly was on the show 14 years but was never a contract player. I wouldn't be surprised if Kristen Vaganos became a contract player.

Interesting facts: Austin was killed in his 200th episode on the show. The four Mollies and the two Kristina have combined for over 50 episodes each. Molly and Kristina have never both had 50 episodes in a year. Esme's last appearance was her 201st episode.

I loved Spencer's emotional goodbye to Ace. Sasha and Cody, Kristina and Blaze, and Brook Lynn and Chase all seem like more entertaining couples than Spencer and Trina.

Esme has no access to her trust fund. See YouTube clip GH 5-17-23 Esme Ponders Her Options.

Molly is having a good year as a character, despite the recasts. She has now been in a total of 50 episodes for 2023, the most for the character since 2013.

I think Maxie should die of a heart attack. Mac and Felicia can then raise her kids, and Cody can be an uncle to them. That way the Maxie problem can eliminated while keeping the Beautiful Boy James on the show.

The four Mollies combined for 48 episodes. The two Kristinas combined for 47 episodes. Kristina and Molly appeared in 12 episodes each in 2022.

Sonny did not kill Austin. Ava did not kill Austin. Mason did not kill Austin. Cyrus and Nikolas are still suspects.

Based on what I heard, the producers are using the money saved by eliminating RH's contract to pay three male actors playing returning characters. One of them is the Adam Huss version of Nikolas. The second is Bobbie's son Lucas, who briefly returns for Bobbie's funeral. The third is Lucky, who returns for Bobbie's funeral and might stick around. I also head that Rebecca Buddig will return as Hayden for a few episodes. She could take custody of Violet and then leave. If Finn loses Violet, then the character is approaching his end. If Gregory dies of ALS, that would leave Harrison as the only member of the Chase family left on canvas.

Who is next to die? Gregory has ALS and is using a cane. I guess he is the next to go.

Roger Howarth gave an exit interview with SOD. His contract is over and he is off the show. Austin is dead and he isn't getting a new character.

I hope Austin dies. I am done with him. Scenes with Marshall are very boring. Whoever just shot Austin can take out Marshall next.

I applauded when Trina walked out on Spencer because he put Ace before her. He is a toxic jerk.

Adam Huss should play Nikolas. Nikolas should return for a permanent exit story and then the show should be done with him. Lucky and Lulu need to come back after Nikolas is done. Why wasn't Violet in the Halloween episode, or Amelia?

GH is rising because Laura has returned to the show.

I would keep Lois and dump Olivia from the show.

Today was a strong episode. Good acting from everyone. I hope Mason dies.

There are twins that play Ace. I think one of them likes Spencer and the other one doesn't. Spencer didn't hold Ace in that scene so they used the Ace twin that isn't favorable to him.

If David Muir was included in the episode counts, how high would he rank? Spencer loves Ace more than Trina. No competition there. Kevin appeared with someone other than Laura! And he is on again on Monday! I support Kristina and Blaze as a couple.
