The show makes Lucy look stupid. There is no nuance in the writing. Sure, she was flighty and silly, but she was always smart and cunning. Now Lucy is written with her head in the clouds and out of touch without much humanity and just a joke. Although I will say the Tracy/Lucy scenes after Monica's death was a step in the right direction.

Being a huge DZ/Dante fan, I cannot remember a time I found the character so unpleasant. Even during those weird PTSD years.

I would have put Kevin/Lucy back together years ago, but I guess Laura needs her absent husband. What's stranger to me is that Kevin/Lucy don't ever interact and it's like that entire time period was erased. I know the show rarely uses JL or LH and is limited in that sense. I seriously can't even recall the last time they shared a scene lol. I don't know what Christina's middle name is, but that would be any easy name to substitute. I always thought Spixie was close in popularity to Dante/Lulu. Not Patrick/Robin level, which would be the last true attempt at a GH supercouple in my mind, but viewers were heavily invested in the pairing. I still assume both Dante/Lulu and Spinelli/Maxie will be together in the end. Although at this point I am not sure if Dante even likes Lulu let alone loves her.

I know. JT's Roman as a game show host is a choice. Mumbles aside, the setup is incredibly awkward. I feel like the show is taking multiple scenes to explain a very simple concept.

I think I do remember Lucy talking about two daughters years ago when everyone thought she was crazing talking about vampires. Anyhow, it's strange to me how far Lucy and Kevin moved apart into different orbits. I almost forget they were a root for couple on their own show. Considering I don't think Christina was ever mentioned by name the show could easily change it. A total blank slate character. I don't remember disliking the Maxie/Nathan pairing. I really didn't care one way or the other. I swear I thought they were pretty popular. Not Spixie heyday popular but had a following that wasn't just on twitter lol.

The idea of trivia night is fine and fun, but I agree with @AbcNbc247 . The show is acting like trivia night is this amazing cutting-edge game Roman just invented lol. The way it was introduced was so clunky with Roman and his microphone and asking everyone if they liked trivia night. Like, Roman, chill. Most bars have trivia night-you don't need the town's permission to hold your own event at your own restaurant.

Lol. The Maxie/Michael pairing. I could still see it with Rory, but he's much more intense than Chad and there is no way Maxie (if she comes back) is getting away from Nathan. I have a hard time seeing Rory's Michael with Willow again as well. Definitely need to hire someone new. I know I have probably asked this question, but has Christina ever been mentioned on GH? I assume she exists outside of the PC universe although I can't recall anyone talking about her. Probably when Lucy first reappeared.

I have almost no use for Leo or Marlena/Leo's friendship, but yesterday's scenes were sweet. You can tell how much GR/DH like working together.

Dante really needs to chill. He forgave his own father after he shot him in the chest, but is getting all up in arms about some dogs? Also, the actors holding those dogs was adorable. Honestly, Jason has a lot of flaws. I accept that. I still feel like he is way too mature and experienced to deal with the hot mess that is Britt. She's 40 plus and would be an awful partner for him. Getting drunk at bars, causing scenes, being an overall selfish jerk. Jason, the hitman, deserves better lol.

He would absolutely pair her with Nathan lol. For the Faison and Maxie angst.

Yeah, I have been saying for a while now that Scotty could easily take Martin's place. He obviously wouldn't be related to Laura, but he could even take Martin's place as a confidante or talk to for her. The history with Lucy and Tracy makes it much easier to sell a romance since 5 minutes will be devoted to it a month and there's at least history there to make it believable with minimal effort. Outside of looking the part, I don't see it. Paige Herschell isn't a strong enough actress to take on that pivotal of a role. Although as I believe @Vee has been saying for years, Serena would be a good love interest for Michael in theory.

I actually don't hate the Jacinda actress either. She's just bland and out of her league with Rory's Michael. Maybe if the show developed her more as Nina's snarky assistant or made her stand out in some way it could be a fun fling down the road. Jacinda wouldn't necessarily bother me in some recurring capacity. I know the show is trying to develop some pattern with Michael and thinks this is similar to the Abby romance, but there was some innocence in the Abby romance. Michael was barely an adult and it was kind of sweet. Michael is way too old, too experienced, and too jaded to think this romance will work. I don't think Tracy or anyone else has done anything about Martin and the will.

I think Brady is being a little bit hypocritical, but I also am unclear as to why Marlena kept it from Brady. I don't find Marlena's reasoning terribly compelling. Now, Brady should have took into consideration that Marlena was grieving, ill, struggling and perhaps not thinking clearly. I still have a hard time defending Marlena's reasoning for not letting Brady know though.

Oh, believe me, I wasn't advocating it. It was a vibe I was getting at the time. It would have been pairing Rory's Michael with Jacinda level wasteful. I can't even remember the last Alexis story I enjoyed. Maybe her alcoholism story when she drunkenly slept with Ned? Mostly because I liked Ned/Alexis. I know, I know. Olivia and Ned serve their purpose nicely, but I find them boring.

I am glad Alexis is practicing law again so there's that. I don't even mind Alexis in the capacity she is used in now. It just seems like a waste of talent to let Alexis mostly be stuck reacting to everyone else without her own story. Hilariously, I low key thought the show was possibly going to pair Alexis with the above-mentioned Harmony for a minute.

It's sort of unclear who raised Gio. He was 10 or 11 when his mom died. The way the show explained it was vague, but I think he spent the year in his performing arts school (that Sonny paid for), stayed with various Cerullo relatives during his time off, and did music programs during the summer. He wasn't in an orphanage or adopted so I really have no idea who is legal guardian was, but it seems like multiple people were looking out for him. Gio is a made up character from scratch. He first appeared at Brook Lynn/Chase's wedding playing the violin.

It felt like the show kept forgetting to give NLG a story a suddenly threw something together every year. The Kiefer sister story was full of holes because even Kristina didn't recognize her. Alexis has honestly been an afterthought for years. She appears but rarely does much to this day. The Gladys/Harmony period was probably the most difficult era to endure. Everything about Gladys and Bonnie Borroughs portrayal was like nails on a chalkboard to me. For whatever reason, she is probably my most hated character on GH in the last decade or two and she lingered on. She lasted at least a year too long (if she ever needed to exist) and still got away with stealing all Sasha's money.

I was wondering if they are on a path to make Michael a bit unhinged as well. Willow doesn't exactly look much better in this, but perhaps the show is trying to level the playing field on custody? Kind of just sucks for the kids though lol. Which parent is worse?

I think it's a fake out as well. I suppose it widens the suspect pool so we don't have to listen to another entire episode of Dante and Nathan contemplating the same 4 suspects over and over.

Lol! I always hoped one day during Lucas's many absences he'd return married to Jamie.

Selina would not be the shooter. She hired someone to do it-if that's actually the shooter. Gio's adoptive parents are both dead. His adoptive dad died before he was born and his mother died of cancer when he was a kid. He was brought to town to play music at Brook Lynn's wedding, so Lois and Gloria actively were playing with fire by bringing him to PC. I think Rory Gibson is very good and much sexier than CD, but there's also something low key creepy about his take. Watching Drew/Willow's wedding from outside the window lol?

I sort of liked the first Phillip too. The original Mimi I truly barely remember except the fact she had really pretty curly hair lol. I still think Mimi mostly falls into the sidekick role even if she eventually got story. It's like Sami's friend Jamie walked so Mimi could run lol. Seriously, what ever happened to Jamie (besides marrying RKK in real life)?

I am not sure there was anything to accept lol. The actress that played Mimi originally was only in a few episodes. Most people probably don't even know FF didn't originate the role. It's like the actor that briefly originated Phillip before JKJ-no one remembers. I am no huge Farah Fath fan, but there weren't any big shoes to fill. She made the character of Mimi. And, yeah, it took Mimi like 2 years to get a story lol.

I was there until the Selena Wu reveal, which I guess doesn't help the cause of needing a woman to hold his hand, but I thought it was a pretty bold, surprising move.

I honestly took it more that Trina was irritated that everyone was lying to her, but it came off odd that everyone including Stella is sooo invested in the Portia/Curtis marriage for outdated reasons. The family is more invested than Portia or Curtis. I also am curious why Jordan was even in the room with Curtis while he was questioned. How exactly is that helpful?
