The Melinda stuff is weird. Ava was with Kristen when Melinda "text" to take a leave of absence, so it's not like she didn't get some follow up on the situation. It's strange Ava didn't check in, but not entirely out of the realm of possibility. I don't think she knows Brady didn't hit Sarah just that he didn't drive the night of the first wedding (Theresa/Alex) and went home with Fiona. I think she was just planting a seed in Brady's head that he was adamant about not driving on that specific night. And perhaps he didn't the night Sarah was hit.

Marlena would never have to brag about hot sex. We know what she and John are doing lol. Ugh, gosh that's an ugly outfit Diane is wearing. And I can get past it all if I didn't hate the character so much. She was fun for the first 2 or 3 years calling Sonny/Jason out, but it is the same thing GH did with Spinelli. Just keeping a C character for years and giving them story because people liked that side character. Although I actually like Spinelli now.

Diane's suits are so much worse. Marlena has had a long established wardrobe of suits and it's appropriate for her character. Diane wear ugly suits while trying to seduce Robert and talking about the hot sex she's having is 🤮 Marlena would never...

She's complained about defending Sonny/Jason for years! While she was dating Max? the mob flunky at the same time! Every now and again she pretends to like defending those two, but she mostly acts exasperated at having to do her job. Diane's suits are ugly af. So are most of Marlena's, but at least Marlena is a good character. At least you get me. 😂

Her schtick is beyond tired. She's smug and gets Sonny out of trouble even though she knows he's guilty because she's such an awesome lawyer. Then Diane will bemoan and complain about the fact she had to do the job she's paid to do because Sonny/Jason are the worst. Like, lady, just quit then and leave town. Yup. Take you Talbots suits and move on.

Diane is one of my least favorite parts of this show.

Yeah, today was mostly B stories, but I am here for Connie's next victim lol. I like Jada/Paulina scenes. And yay? Rafe woke up. I find it funny Ava is just walking around town these last few days running into different people lol. I get what you are saying about Johnny. He's so Dimera centric and rarely acknowledges his Brady side unless he's talking to Marlena. It doesn't seem like Sami's child would ever be raised so strongly into the Dimera fold especially with EJ being in a coma for years.

The way the show handled re-introducing Mansi's Kristina was much better than Molly/TJ. I know the show obviously had casting issues, but Molly/TJ have been hanging around on the show mostly off screen as a couple for years and years. I think GH just thought the audience would be invested in them because they were together so long, but we still no nothing about why they are even together at this point. And TJ has never been much of a character.

I didn't watch yesterday yet and I am falling a bit behind on GH. I just don't think the show did the work to establish TJ and Molly as a couple before this story arc. I feel like I have never known much about them as a couple besides the domestic partner back and forth and HP's Molly sleeping with Brando. The show probably should be showing more of TJ/Molly as a couple having these issues, but I have never been invested in them in the first place. It's very hard to care when the show ignored both characters for a decade.

It's uploaded for me too, but I am on the west coast. It's scary to have to watch the show without @AbcNbc247's recaps. I like to know what I am getting into each day first lol.

Drake doesn't look great at this point, but maybe at his age he can't keep up with the extensive workout regime he used to have when he was younger? Hence the weight loss. Idk, I hate to speculate about someone's health.

I looked up a few Hapka exit interviews and it's relatively mild. He was pissed he got let go, saying it was a writer choice, and that he doesn't really understand it since Nathan/Melanie could finally be together. He is pretty derogatory to the writing team, but is very gracious about the cast and crew. Idk, he sounds like a jerk and full of himself in interviews, but he's also not wrong about the abrupt dumping of Nathan.

I think TB is a chemistry magnet so I wouldn't mind a Brady pairing. It's just icky she slept with his dad. If we hadn't already gone down that road with Kristen it would be a viable option. The show rarely mentions John/Ava and John could care less about her, but it still puts me off. On another note, today's show was good. Holly/Eric hit the right notes emotionally and it was nice to see John/Tate interact. Also, what a perfect flashback to show with Eric/Sarah talking about Daniel/Holly. Kudos to whoever found that scene! I actually thought of that when the hit and run. I remember LG's horrible accident. I thought it was bit too on the nose, but LG is doing a good job with it.

I think the show really wants to keep TB, but Ava has outlived her usefulness. My favorite Carly should have left with Steve/Harris.

I definitely think it's a case of Cameron and Will Lipton not being utilized correctly. I don't think Lipton himself was treated horribly. The show just didn't prioritize his character and WL moved on to do other things. At this point I'd look for a recast Cameron. He still feels like a missing piece in the teen/young adult set especially with Lucky coming back. I like Lipton and think he's great. I also think Cameron would be a pretty easy role to recast. I don't think he's as memorable or as dynamic as NAC's Spencer, so I'd go for it if I were the show. Whoever said Gio would have been good Cameron recast is right. GM would have been fine as Cam.

With Days, who even knows how they shoot scenes lol? Right? You have an interesting character with interesting ties to the canvas and spend a bunch of time having her hang out with Brady. I obviously get that was setting up the Sarah story, but we skipped over the entire Victor affair, the fallout, and anything about Xander's father. It was such a quick shift in storytelling. Like this story is done. Let's move on.

At this moment I just learned Fiona was Kristen Scott Thomas's sister lol. They look alike, so duh, but I didn't know the actress's name until now. Anyhow, there was a lot more to tell with the Victor story alone. The show moved way too quickly into making her a villain. I am not sure why the show didn't wait to play out the Xander paternity story and then move into the Sarah story. It does seem so wasted, but maybe she'll stay on longer.

I was a few episodes behind, but I caught back up. For some reason it seems natural that Tate overheard Kim/Theresa talking about Eric killing Daniel. I could be wrong, but I got the impression Kim/Eric are quite close (even with Kim being mostly off screen). They were in JA's Eric's time. What was interesting to me is that Nicole told Holly the driver that killed Daniel was dead. I was thinking it was more of a lie of omission by not telling Holly, but she was actively covering for Eric. I agree with @AbcNbc247 that the show just took Fiona too far too fast. I was still thinking she was guilty about her mistake, but now she's going to try to kill Sarah. I like, or at least am intrigued by Fiona. I don't want her to burn out too quickly.

Yeah, I guess for years he wouldn't even get on a plane and just road trip it to these events. If I remember correctly. I read it mostly for the Vanessa Marcil parts lol. It's actually a pretty interesting book though.

Mo has a severe fear of flying so these tours/appearances are hard on him. I read his book, so everyone else on here didn't have to lol. I wouldn't take it as an omen.

Yes, obviously, Jordan needs another son that looks the exact same age as her.

Yeah, this return hasn't been terribly impressive for Rena/Lois. There have been some standout scenes especially with her and Wally, but she hasn't really had a story. I don't consider losing her accent a serious story lol. If you ever have the desire or chance I would watch some of her first run. I think it's the most compelling Rena has ever been in a role, although I didn't hate her on Melrose. Rena was fantastic as were Lois and Ned. Unfortunately, since Rena/Wally won't play Ned/Lois 2.0 the show seems to be a little lost on what to do with Lois this time around.

If Ric/Liz do hook up I agree Liz needs to be wise to sliminess and play him. The man slithers around town not even trying to cover up his sleazy intentions. I really don't get how Liz doesn't see it and I really can't stand Ric lol. I always did think the RH's had great chemistry though. Why don't you like Lois? Just curious. I can see finding Lucy annoying, but I have never thought Lois was annoying.

That would have been slightly better than giving Brenda a kid with Balkan son we never met, but I wouldn't have given Brenda a kid at all. It should have been Jax's if it had to exist. Lol. Noted.

Sorry. I knew that would get your attention! Knowing this show, they'd probably dig up Cari Shayne to play Jagger's baby momma. My point was I don't want to add more characters or hear anymore about Jagger or his son after this story is over lol.
