Today's episode was okay. I really just don't understand the whole Chanel/Johnny thing. It's something that can so easily be explained and it went from 0 to 100 in one scene. Stupid. I think Johnny did sleep with Joy. That's the only way any drama is pulled from this. The actress that plays Joy reminds me a bit of Amber Tamblyn. She looks like her. I am also not gonna lie. Seth Burns is my new favorite character. He cracks me up. So dumb, but so stoic and deadpan in his delivery. Weird Marlena was called away before Johnny's birthday celebration. Did Deidre have something else to do that day lol?

Sorry. I don't want that. LOL I am just saying FV could pull that because there is no way NAC is ever coming back.

I am not trying to put this out into the universe, but I could see Frank re-hiring Bechtel again. Obviously Chavez is long gone and Bechtel turned into a pretty good looking guy. He's still a bit young but I could see it happening.

I am not advocating keeping Sam long term. I am fine with her departure. The timing just feels off to me. Don't rain on my parade please!!!! I don't think we are truly rid of her for good, but at least for awhile?

Oh, you know I am not crying about Sam's departure. She's been useless for at least a decade, but I never had use for her at all. I just think it gives Dante/Lulu such an easy path to reunite. It feels like the show is missing an easy oppurtunity for drama even if it was only 6 months worth. I agree there was no chance Dante would end up with Sam long term the show just really seems to be banking on AH/DZ having chemistry. But, hey, I should be celebrating. I get rid of Violet and Sam in the same month? It's like my birthday and Christmas at the same time lol.

I think the official reason IB was let go was cast/budget cuts, but personally I just think his return flopped. It started with Faison in a Duke mask and moved on to stupider things. He got tied up with Sonny and he and Anna were on again/off again. Then Duke/Lucy dated. None of it really worked. Idk, it seems stupid to kill him off again, but he's also someone who could come back from the dead again IMO. I am not sure if IB would be up for it. It didn't seem like he enjoyed his return much and they way he was let go. He has appeared as GHOSTDuke a few times since so who knows?

I tend to question that too. Dominic seems to be able to get away with his hair natural and he's Sonny's son. Rick Hearst rocks his gray hair too and he's Sonny's younger brother. It all seems strange that the show would care that much about Mo's hair. I truly wonder if it's a MB vanity thing and he's just blaming the show because he likes it dyed. I have to agree with most on here that seems shortsighted. It's finally a story for Dante/Sam/Lulu and it would have been interesting to see that play out. Well as interesting as any Sam story could be for me lol. Sam's been basically wandering around town for years doing nothing and now that something could happen for the character

Drake looked so much better with his natural hair instead of that muddy grey/black dye he was using. I love the way Deidre wears her hair now too. Still blonde but with silvery hints of grey. It's very flattering. I love, love, Jane Elliot's hair. I aspire to have those intricate braids and beautiful silver hair when I get older. As far as Tracy/Cody-I don't think I would hate it, but it would just have to be a silly fling. I can't believe Tracy would truly take him seriously as a partner.

It looks so much better natural. I remember when Drake went full on silver fox as John on Days and it was such an improvement. Like, we have eyes. We know Sonny isn't 30 anymore.

I don't think Johnny seems mentally ill. Just epically stupid.

I am all for Jophielle Love becoming a star so she never returns to GH as Violet. Yesterday was the day I have been dreaming about for years! Bye Violet! Good luck in Seattle!

Jada/Stephanie are fine. I like that friendship. Chad/Stefan and Brady/Eric are siblings so I consider that a bit different. There are so many characters on the show with long term connections that hardly interact. Johnny, Chanel, EJ, Gabi, Xander, Sarah etc all exist with zero friends. They are friendly with some people but there aren't real connections there.

It just seems tacky to me to bring John back into this. While I am sure everyone was hoping for the very best for him if Drake couldn't film there was no need to bring this Catharina (I was spelling it wrong before lol) stuff back up. It was basically over and done. And now we are going to have Marlena and other characters pretend like John is off doing something and living his best life with his dad when it's clear everyone knew he was ill just really puts me off. There's a difference between Doug playing cards upstairs and John being off screen involved in a major story.

Of course I loved Wayne as Roman too. Not really the point you are making, but I loved Drake as Roman and I feel like John was much more serious of a character after the reveal. I 'get' why John was pretty bummed his entire life was a lie, but Drake/John ended up losing some of spark and humor his Roman had. I still love John, of course but some of the levity and fun was gone.

I thought today's show was decent. I honestly get a little depressed hearing about John being on vacation and tying this Katarina story into the Greene siblings/FAbby plot. The audience would be happy to forget the entire Kostantin/Katarina saga and I question Ron for bringing it back when it was probably clear Drake would not be able to finish the story out. It makes me dread the next several months of vague John mentions. I thought the Sarah/Brady scenes were nice as well. I also liked the Kayla/Marlena scenes. Days doesn't do friendships well, but it's nice for two long time friends to just chat and catch up. I really just want Kristen gone. Why is she so awful? Just give Sarah the medicine after all you did to her!! As far as the Fabby stuff. BF and ALM did a good job? It was pretty anti-climatic to me.

I haven't watched yesterday or today yet and probably won't be able to for a few days. But...........did you all say Violet was moving out of town?

There are multiple interview videos of her online if you wanted to hear what SM sounds like in real life. And it's exactly how she speaks as Sasha.

Sasha didn't really react like she was seeing her presumed dead mother just show up at her door. It was more subdued, but, well, SM does tend to "underact" at times lol.

I am sure the show tried to vaguely explain this, but why on earth did Jennifer need to learn to dance? And how did they explain gang member Emilio's love for dance and song?

They are both FV hires. I don't think it's much deeper than that unfortunately.

Yeah, there are so many plot holes here I can't see it being worth the effort for a character like Sasha. I forgot about the Sasha/Cody DNA thing.

I suppose it could be angst for Cody/Sasha. I really don't want Sasha to be in the GH history books as Robert/Holly's daughter. That paternity lie would actually be the best route to go, but poor Holly. It's like the show hates her. She just keeps messing with Robert with her rando kids paternity lol. I definitely need more details and backstory from Holly before I make a final decision on this reveal. Right now, I am not liking it at all. I just don't think I know enough to make a judgement at this point. I don't necessarily want Cody/Tracy, but I think JK and JE could sell the hell out of it.

Sasha has been on this show for 6 YEARS!?! I will say I was pretty shocked by the reveal. Well, not really because I read this thread before it aired on the West Coast lol! I think it's certainly a twist, but it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. It came literally out of nowhere. I think they are probably going to make her Robert's daughter too. She'll obviously break up with Cody and I wonder if they are pivoting Sasha in a new direction or just going to have her leave the canvas all together with this random plot point. I am not sure making Sasha Holly/Robert's kid makes her anymore useful than she was before. Neither (R/H) appear that often or are on contract.

Perhaps Billy Hufsey's appeal is lost on me because I was born too late. I have never in all my time on soap boards run into someone that was an Emilio stan though lol. He ended up being abusive to Melissa and she pushed him into a glass ceiling or something to his death. Anyhow, I would assume BF was a big "get" at the time and his teen idol status helped him stay on Days longer than he should have. @AbcNbc247 I do remember the third brother. Wow, the Ramirez family did get a push back then to be relevant.

I think Billy Hufsey had a pretty sizable fanbase from his work on the Fame tv show and he did some Playgirl type magazine work. I can't believe it was from his Days work alone lol. But stranger things have happened.
