I assume it's the 100,000 dance? Roman was working late and supposed to make it at some point, but never did. He heard about the dance the next day and was angry, but wasn't really suspicious anything was going on between John/Marlena.

Leo actually has a purpose so I don't mind him and he does good work. I just like Donna because she is an absolutely beautiful little girl. There's no rhyme or reason for it. Just like I like Ace because he's such a big, cute little baby. I am not invested in any of these kids tbh.

Works for me. I never found that child cute, but I don't find any GH children cute except Donna and James. And mostly because I think Donna is the most adorable child in the world, not because I actually like her.

I personally like James, but I would basically rather watch anyone but Violet lisp along being completely insufferable. Hayden doesn't want custody yet?

She was very manipulative going to her father to get Sonny to marry her. And then got upset when Sonny still loved Brenda and was attached to her even when she full well knew he was in love with her before she married him lol. I guess you could argue she was manipulative with Miguel about his son as well, but the character wasn't exactly portrayed to be in the wrong? And, yes, the legend of Lily's sainthood was well overplayed by everyone once she died. She didn't even really have any friends. Only Luke, Mike, Jason, and Robin on occasion tolerated her-and Mike and Robin would have preferred Brenda and Jason had no memory. In the end it's quite tragic because in 1996 Sonny **might** have been worth it, but if she saw him now she would have realized he was not at all.

Probably. I think the answer at the time was Wally was on a scheduled vacation. Lol. They divorced in 1997

I thought Ned lying about Jason's accident was the dealbreaker? But it's been a long time, so I could be wrong. After she "officially" left both visits were awkward including the visit she had with Brenda after Sonny left in which Lois shared 0 scenes with Ned.

I never thought Lois appeared stupid. I often thought some of her actions were harsh against Ned because they had been through so much. I wasn't ever really sure the Q lifestyle was a dealbreaker for her. Yeah, that's how I always figure it went down. I don't think it was great and it felt like Lois gave up a bit quickly on Ned and the marriage, but it wasn't crazy out of character. ETA-someone here needs to warn me when it's a Violet episode!!! I am never prepared.

I honestly think the show could have done more with Lily as a character. The show got the arcs and the story right, but she was such a Stepford Wife with no chinks in her armor. I am pretty sure the show was mostly always planning this exit as Lily's endgame, but Jax's popularity and ease into the triangle/quad probably just confirmed the decision.

Agreed. It is interesting to think about what would have changed if Lily lived. There were often parallels on the show that made it clear to see Lily/Sonny and Brenda/Jax were actually more well suited for each other and had much more in common. Both were much more stable relationships, but the heart wants what it wants I guess. I think the overall tepid response of Lily as a character and Brenda's damn near fatal attraction actions during this time meant something had to go lol. It made Lily a much more iconic character in the end but sometimes I wish the show explored Lily as a person a bit more. She was just too nice and boring and such a contrast to Brenda's ridiculousness.

There really were a lot of characters packed in and a lot of things going on. A true sweeps cliffhanger! From my edits, I would have assumed Sonny/Brenda/Robin/Stone/Luke/Laura took most of the episode, so a Q meeting was a delightful surprise.

Oooh a Sly mention in this episode. He's still in PC as of May 12, 1995! A lot of nice stuff not necessarily related to the shootout in this episode. Watching Sonny/Brenda's push and pull on this topic still makes me cringe to this day knowing what's to come. A pregnant Lily probably would have beat out Brenda for awhile. In real life probably forever, but Sonny was always going to stray. A Brenda/Sonny/Jax/Lily triangle could have played out for years, but with Lily being the true weak link here it was always the most effective thing to kill her off. It made the mob stakes real and high for the first time. Everything else preceding it was mostly low stakes, some injuries, some lies, some breakups, but this was life and death. I think I like Amazing Grace because of the way it was shot and the music and the big reveal. The Lullaby Massacre did change so much in a lot of ways though, so there is an argument for it be #2.

No problem. Both are a super easy find on youtube! Writers- Guza/Karen Harris for Clink Boom Guza/Pratt for Amazing Grace EP's- Riche for Clink Boom JFP did Amazing Grace

What an awful picture of pretty much everyone here lol. Why is Selena Wu in this? So we pretend the show has Asian characters? The statement is pretty much a whole lotta nothing, but I also don't think GH was anywhere near his focus at this event.

It's when Sonny saw Brenda alive for the first time in 2002 and was shot immediately afterward Jax/Brenda marry as Lily is blown up.

No, not this particular episode. I was pretty young and was honing my vcr skills at the time lol. I have of course seen the edits of this a million times though. I think this is a great montage, but if I was ranking mob related montages I would have Clink Boom and Amazing Grace ahead of it.

Thanks. I just assumed Chad was still paying for the apartment and lease so they could just stay there.

Did I miss something? Did Chad and the kids just give up the apartment? Stephanie doesn't live there, so why don't they?

I am pretty sure it's May 12, 1995 and @DeliaIrisFan is referring to the Lullaby Massacre where Luke/Laura's house, Luke's club, and Sonny's apartment get shot up while Laura is singing a lullaby to baby Lulu. That channel has the full episode, which I have never seen and is a rare gem, but the actual ending montage is pretty famous because Brenda gets shot at in the shower and Stone gets shot leading him to tell Robin he has AIDS and has been circulating around for years.

Well, if it makes you feel any better the group and website has been gone for years and years now. I think the entire messageboard and website were deleted by the owner. I don't think you can find much, if any of it, on the web anymore. Anyway, it makes us talking about Finola Hughes's hair and protein intake seem like small potatoes.😂

Yeah, a real special group there. I am sure there were worse fanbases out there, but the NOL people were the worst I have ever seen.

Their peak insanity was during the Sexis stuff. I feel like the whole group fell apart not long after because the crazy started showing. The whole argument about VM and her son was hoping he got ill or didn't react well to Vanessa's schedule so she would leave. The group did have some insider info and spoilers for awhile there though. It's funny to think Sonny/Carly had such a passionate fanbase back then and the characters are still around now and everyone's basically whatever about the pairing lol.

I personally preferred SM as Trina, but I don't think TA is doing a bad job. SM wasn't give a ton to do so I am not sure she could have handled the emotional or romantic material Trina has since gotten. I just thought SM and NAC had really great chemistry. Anyhow, I thought TA was okay yesterday as well. A little rough, but it didn't take me out of the scenes. They should go for Trina/Dex lol. @VeeThe No Ordinary Love Carly/Sonny fans give me nightmares still. What a nutty fanbase and for awhile they had inside information too. I remember the Kristina stuff, but I also remember them wishing harm to NLG and her daughter and hoping VM's son would get ill so Vanessa would leave the show.

I know I should ignore more lol

I know I am going to regret even responding, but I have longer hair than Finola and it's probably similar thickness/texture. I have never had extensions. People just have different types of hair and texture. You can say you have talked to a million hairdressers, but her hair looks real to me. It would be thicker if she had extensions. Unless we physically examine FH's head we don't know. And if you are suggesting Finola should wear her hair up because of age and the fact you don't think she eats enough protein is just strange.
