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.

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 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, 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.

At the risk of sounding heartless I don't really care what happens to Jagger's son Stone. I hope he lives his best life and it sucks his dad got killed by Sonny, but I don't need an update on him. We have so many characters currently clogging up the show. I don't need extra time spent on a child Jagger had with a random women. We met Stone for a few episodes on Nightshift 2 as a child and never heard about him again. I have 0 investment in him lol. And now that I said that Jagger's baby mom (played by Gina Tognoni) and AdultStone will immediately be cast tomorrow.😂

It kind of makes me think Theresa told him. She's the only one that makes sense out of Tate's immediate family. It also could have been something Tate overheard as a kid as well. Eric did go to jail for awhile and everything. Brady/Theresa have so many family members in common because they are barely not related lol so I assume multiple relatives were talking about it.

Well, yeah. Maybe Chanel just isn't great with languages? Johnny seems to at least acknowledge he grew up in Europe, so at least there's that lol. A brief google search tells me there are only 16 NCAA lacrosse teams and 24 players on each. So.......basketball or football would be better lol.

I think Chanel went to school in England hence the whole debacle with Sloan's English brother and father. She seemed more cultured and spoiled when she first appeared. As far as Tate, did they specify it was a European boarding school? With his love of lacrosse I just assumed it was somewhere on the East Coast.
