I get it. She's married to Michael. It's just hilarious she's just bored and wants to sleep with sexy congressman to be Drew lol. The show isn't even trying to make Willow sympathetic. I can't believe I am going to defend Michael, but he's put up with a lot from her lying, cancer stricken behind. Michael is a controlling jerk though, so I don't feel too bad.

I was actually surprised the show still went there with Drew/Willow. Sasha knows all the dirt now lol. I still find the Nina/Drew/Willow stuff the most interesting and I basically hate all three characters so that's something. I really don't care Cody just blurted the truth out or how it was delivered. It's been so long. I am glad it's out there. As far as Sonny, I don't really find his 100th breakdown terrible compelling and I do feel for MB if he's struggling. There is no reason Sonny can't take a long break in an institution so MB can have some time off lol. I just don't know where you go with Sonny anymore at this point. I don't see him settling down and turning into a family man, so mob wars and/or breakdowns are all we get these days.

Nope. Bobby/Everett just stumbled upon a blood covered woman talking in the part out loud about killing someone and mentioned Li's name. In real life no one would ever listen to the crazy DID man with no evidence, but I also assume Connie will crack at the first hint of questioning lol. For some reason I thought he was going to have info on Abby's murder.

Since @AbcNbc247 missed the show this am as it appeared to upload late I will let you guys know it's a good episode. I had no problem loading the episode on Peacock. No need to restart your device or anything. The bad- Jada/Bobby. Blah, blah, blah. He overheard crazy lady Connie? say she killed Li to herself on a park bench. He did not tell Jada the entire truth yet. Still just giving bits and pieces of the story so Jada will come back. The meh- Li Shin returns! To play out how he died and be an imaginary character in crazy lady's head. This is at least as stupid as Gil killing him randomly. Now just he randomly got killed by a bit player stalker. The reason to watch- The entire denouement of the baby story. Gabi blurts out the truth, Nicole finds out, etc. etc. Cliffhanger is Nicole/Eric. It's pretty much the climax of the baby story today, so if you care I would go ahead and watch.

I could see if Blaze was doing interviews answering a direct question about being gay and answering no or even parading around with male boyfriends, but even then she could just say she was denying her true self because of fear or judgement or just never met a woman she was really into before or something. It's like the fact Blaze was lying about being gay is worse than being gay, but I never got the sense she was "lying". She just never made a huge Instagram statement to the world about it-which is her right lol.

I guess my question with all this is was Blaze ever actually denying she was gay to the public? Or was she just not open about her sexuality to the world? Everyone in PC pretty much knew and any of them could have called TMZ. I always felt she just wasn't ready to make a public declaration, but wasn't really denying it. Anyhow that's probably moot. Honestly, all Blaze has to say is I recently met a woman who made me realize I was hiding my true feelings and sexuality. As you can see, my family has extreme beliefs about the LGBTQ community and it was very difficult for me to share this out of fear. I never meant to hide this part of me, but I was hoping to come out on my own timetable blah, blah, blah. A good PR person could fix this easily. Blaze was the victim that was publicly outed and now is getting all the blowback? It makes no sense.

It's a bit strange because Ron does seem to hold Marlena in a higher regard than other women on the show. She has saved John with the brainwashing several times under RC. John does keep her filled in on what he's doing with the Konstantin thing and the prison break. Meanwhile, Kayla gets to know nothing lol. I get Marlena has got to prop the pets, but I do find it surprising she isn't more involved with her own husband's mental health and trauma at this point just because Ron has historically been pretty invested in John/Marlena.

I still can't believe she was so worried about John in Greece that she sent Steve. The Marlena I know would have been on the first plane to Greece not sent his buddy. And this is not the first time Marlena has sent Steve to do something for John that she could have done herself. Marlena's not exactly written out of character, but the show uses her in the strangest places when the obvious choices are ignored.

I wouldn't be surprised if BB was gone. Unfortunately, the character was a bust. 100% agree about Stephanie needing something other than romantic relationships. Yes. Her career isn't very exciting or driving any story. She just basically has meetings and types a few thing on her laptop. Not riveting for a tv show lol Is Stephanie trying to get ad revenue for the paper? Is that something PR agents do? Because I just sort of explained it away as that lol. Paulina is still her client so she has at least 3.

I believe Jeremy was the same or very close in age to Stephanie. He was part of the Stephanie, Abby, Chelsea crowd. I would assume he would stay in that age range. I can't remember when the show said Gwen was born, but he wouldn't be much older than her if at all. I wouldn't bump him up in age. ME would be waaaaaaaaaaay too old for Jeremy. He has a better chance at getting cast as Mike lol.

Both Chanel/Johnny and even Stefan and Gabi are interracial couplings as well. If by "adult" you mean boring I can agree that Jada/Rafe fit the bill. The show needs to find someone new for Stephanie. Shelly Hennig's Stephanie had a pretty rich romantic history that the show could mine instead of creating a past love we never saw.

When I start to even try to piece together the story it makes less sense than usual Days stories. Was Everett in a coma? Did the coma make him forget his DID? Did he switch back and forth between personas when he was with Jada and Stephanie because he was with both in the same time period? How did he work as a reporter with two different names/identities? No one caught on in Seattle? Plus, it seems Everett had the Bobby side of him under control and Marlena made it worse lol. Then it's the root ability of either pairing. All the good times between him/Stephanie and him/Jada took place before when ever met Everett.

I really am just not understanding Ava's motivation or how she thought it would somehow stay secret. This plan just made no sense and it makes Ava look dumb. She should have went with the meds plan from Day One especially since she already knew about it for months. I think the lady in Rocky and Bullwinkle's name is Natasha.

I really like BB and I genuinely don't think it's his fault the story is flopping. I thought the mystery of Everett/Bobby's identity was interesting at first. It's clear this whole story was changed and affected by the strike as well as the fact it's been paced horribly. Unfortunately I don't think Everett/Bobby has much chemistry with Stephanie or Jada. I am fairly uninterested in either pairing. I would wrap this story up and probably let Blake Berris go. I don't think I would kill him off and I did sort of like him at the newspaper. I guess it all depends on who Everett is related to because I have a feeling he's going to be suddenly connected to a bunch of things once we get into this murder he's talking about.

I am confused as to how Ava thought she'd get away with this whole scheme. Now it's possible Ava doesn't care although she went out of her way to cover it up. Natalia is horrible and deserves whatever she gets, but obviously Ava would know she would remember the conversation they had. Natalia isn't an idiot. This is such a low stakes move too. Now Sonny can't date Natalia, Blaze is out of the closet, and for some reason Kristina can't run her center. Ava should have gone for maximum chaos!

You know I actually really like the Kate/Abe friendship. I don't even think a soap within a soap is that bad, but why isn't Johnny involved? Didn't Abe just get a job with Paulina like last week? The man is damn near 80 he should be working less and relaxing more lol. At least it gives Kate more to do than walk around the pub talking to Roman. As someone who was actually intrigued by the Bobby/Everett story, I am very disappointed how it's turning out. Even if the story was good, the show drops it for weeks and I entirely forget about it. The pacing for this story in particular was awful.

I am pretty sure the show currently thinks Lois's most memorable moment is her popping out of the cake and want to use it. Again, I think it's just laziness. I think Rena and Wally are trying to make it more complicated and nuanced, but if I was a new viewer my take would be that Katy Bell is why they broke up.

I actually liked Brian lol. Much more than Tanner. I don't even think Molly/Tanner were that bad. It was just the propping and Julie spent like all of 1992 just trying to get them together and that felt like a real waste of a legendary character lol. I think she lacks some of CB's innate charisma, but she isn't bad

Lol! Now I have to go back and watch because I completely forgot about that Jax/Tracy/ELQ subplot. It is such a minor blip on the Sonny/Brenda/Jax edits that I almost forget it's entire purpose. I genuinely thought Ned covering for AJ in Jason's accident was the final nail in the coffin. Others may disagree with me, but it's been brought up more than once in dialogue, so I *think* the show is explaining it that way. Neither Lois or Ned have specifically stated that's why they broke up but they've talked about it. I can agree with this. The whole topic is probably too nuanced for GH in 2024, but there should be an explanation about why Lois is perfectly fine with the Q's now when she was completely unwilling to let Brook Lynn grow up with them 30 years ago.
