I can honestly say it was one of the most oddly shot, weirdly staged and uncomfortable looking love scenes I have ever seen on GH. And that's saying a lot.

WE WERE GRIEVING MICHAEL, so Sonny and I obviously had to have uncomfortable sex in the back of a limo. Where's your humanity, Jax?

Well, she didn't want Joss to die either. And while it's a ridiculous retcon story, it's not like Carly would not have agreed to it if Jax asked. This is Carly. She has no problem breaking the law if it suits her own purpose. See pretty much everything she's done for the last 30 years lol Yeah, Jax didn't like Jason but he was way more obsessed with Sonny for a variety of reasons but mostly because Carly kept oopsie sleeping with him lol

I don't really think Jax is guilty of that. Carly wanted stability, she wanted a safe life for her children, she wanted to open the hotel with Jax, etc. etc. Jax gave her exactly what she asked for. Carly just decided she didn't want it. Was Jax way too intense at points? Yes, but Carly was pretty much always ungrateful for what Jax did for her. Drew giving Carly (a nursing school dropout) a magazine is a bit different.

I can see the similarities, but Jax would have included a lot more Sonny hate in his speech. Drew was strictly throwing a tantrum about Jason.

Yikes! BNH was way too young!! Vinessa Antoine had more presence and gravitas than Tanisha Harper does so I believed she could be TJ's mom. Idk, when you are on recast 4 of a character it might be time for a long character rest. Molly & TJ spent so long happy off screen there was never a chance to give them story lol.

The show also paired her with people that looked years older than her. Kiefer looked like he was 25 at 15. Ethan? Looked 10 years older than her and I actually don't think there was that much of an age difference. Parker? Get out. Why would you pair LA with a woman that is a decade and a half older than her? I really do understand she looks like a teenager, but the show didn't actually ever try to cast a love interest around that.

I wouldn't be shocked if LA was fired. At the very least GH let her give her own spin on it, as they should after her years there. HP is over a decade younger than Wactor, who looks almost his 40 years as well. Such an odd decision. And, yes, it did look like he was sleeping with a teenager. I have been told a few times they didn't de-age Jordan, but TH looks young. TB is good and should have been Tom Hardy Jr. TBH, I would have broken up TJ/Molly years ago because they really aren't a compelling pairing. Although there is something earnest and rare for a teen couple to last this long without any relatively huge issues. I mean, she's 31. She just looks young, but she can't really help that lol

I thought Lexi said there were personal reasons she left. That could all be BS, but it sounded mutual? They barely used LA anyway, so I could see her just wanting to move on to the next chapter of her life. I personally think they kept HP on as long as they did because LA looked so young and so did HP so it worked. I remember being super skeeved out when Molly had a one night stand with Brando lol. Jordan is a very stunning looking woman. That's about the only positive I have. Her looking the same age as TJ and talking about being a grandma is off putting to say the least. I do acknowledge that Olivia and Dante look the same age as well though.

I agree some of Maggie's dialogue was really good. Unfortunately, Konstantin is not where it's at lol. I liked the scenes with Marlena/Roman/John/Eric and Eric explaining Sloan's behavior. I know this has been Roman/Marlena's dynamic for years, but they don't seem like they were ever married or had kids together. Deidre Hall looks like she can barely stand to hug Josh Taylor and I think it's funny. I still think TB/SBu have good chemistry. I don't mind Harris/Ava. I just don't get Steve not telling John or even Marlena whatever he knows years ago lol. It makes no sense.

I think HP was a decent actress especially as a kid, but I just can't see her playing this story. If I am being honest I may have recast Molly before LA's Kristina for this. I still think Kate Mansi is a get, but I wonder if the show would have held off on recasting Kristina if they could see the future lol. I am not judging you (much lol) for liking Jordan I just don't know what there is to like. She's barely even a character IMO.

No lol. I tend to cut the show some slack on those scenes because it was clear they were written for an injured HP before everyone knew the DUI details. They needed a reason to have Molly in a cast and on a couch for days. Why they didn't just scrap the scenes entirely when it became clear that HP wouldn't be back and put poor OldLadyMolly in a fake cast is beyond me, but I do think it was mid-strike. I do have a really hard time imagining HP playing this Molly surrogacy story, so recasting might have just been for the best.

Well I do believe that part of the story lol! Ugh, Molly..

Oh, I saw enough of that stuffed horse to last a lifetime. OldLadyMolly talked to it for 3 days at least!

I'd take Tony over Frisco too. I always thought BM was good looking. He's caring and nice and offers stability. Yeah, I can see what you are saying about Brenda. I have always thought it was a combination of writing and Vanessa's early acting. I am not sure the writers even knew what they were going to do with Brenda. It seemed like she was just going to be a spoiled rich girl obstacle for Jagger/Karen. The character didn't have much depth and in the beginning I didn't even know if Brenda liked Robin or was just using her to get into the group. I wish they explored her relationship with Julia more too. I know they do love one another as sisters, but they really didn't connect in any meaningful way early on either. I thought Vanessa had charisma to spare from her first moment on screen, but she's not the best actress early on. It takes her some time to find her groove and infuse her natural likeability and vulnerability into the character of Brenda. I'd say by the last breakup with Jagger she's actually become rootable. And contrary to what MB said, I thought Vanessa had grown a ton as an actress by the time she was paired with Sonny. I never thought raw sex appeal was what attracted women to Tony. And I certainly don't think that was it in Carly's case, but I do think she loved him in her own way. Brad Maule is kind of a forgotten talent. I can't recall if he ever won an emmy, but I know he was nominated. I am always surprised when I catch old episodes and I see how good he is too. Not just in the BJ story, but even just doing something at the hospital or talking to Bobbie. He is just one of those really great supporting characters a show needs. There's nothing flashy about BM, but you don't even realize how much Tony contributed to the show until he was gone.

She did good work as a model on Project Runway lol. I don't know if Daytime Confidential made up the term hair model, but TH is the definition.

💯 Hope they live their best lives offscreen! Why was Jordan working out at such a late hour at night as well? I didn't see her lift anything or actually do a workout, so maybe she just trolls Sonny's gym for men.

The man was bleeding out so I just assumed it was more "great you procreated, but can you help me out?" situation. Why are Jordan/Drew sharing scenes? Ugh. And the way CM was lifting his 50lbs dumbbells on that bench seemed unsafe.

I am not going to lie, her saying that sorta in the background while cleaning Jason's wound as Michael and Jason were completely unfazed about the shooting did make me laugh. Also, Jason being the best man Michael has ever known. Explains....a lot

Lol. Willow saying, "wow that's a lot of shooting" while Jason was telling his story might be the best line she's ever spoke.

I actually respect Drew a bit for doing that? Like, nope, nope. I can't compete with Jason and I am just not even going to try😂. I don't even want to engage in the Carly/Jason bestest friends forever nonsense.

I think it's a bit too early to tell and Holly's acting out was pretty minor, but I agree. I think she will entirely lose her edge, but maybe Tate will gain more of one instead?

I think if CM was better received by the audience or if Drew wasn't a rage monkey just yelling at Nina he might have a chance. At this point I think he will be gone in 3-6 months.

Wiki tells me JER was an outline writer on GH at the time, so I guess it checks out.

I just remember Terry heading up the really boring, yet confusing Laurelton Murder story. RIP, nonetheless.
