So strange. I am not asking for in-depth Sonny/Nina scenes, but we were just left hanging with the whole thing. The romance is over now? Lol. Lois had more to say about the breakup then Sonny and Nina have.

You know, if that's the last thing Harris does on this show then Steve Burton's run was entirely worth it lol

I know you watch GH, but I am not sure for how long. Today's show reminded me of the Lullaby Massacre from 1994? on GH when Laura was singing to baby Lulu and various places around town got shot up (L&L's house, Sonny's apartment, Luke's club, etc.) Obviously, Days had 1% of that budget, but it gave me the same vibe although not as hauntingly effective. Shame about the Horton house, but I like the idea of multiple places and people being involved. And well, Harris got shot. It's material I am sure SBu is very comfortable with😂

I do wonder when Ingo's politically extreme views took shape. He seemed fairly normal and laid back most of his run. I am not sure he was miserable on the GH set. He seemed to enjoy his job. I just don't think the people around him enjoyed him lol. Horrible picture aside, I still think Ingo is very good looking. Even with sun damage, he looks better than whatever is going on with Steve Burton lol.

You know, I have a feeling Ingo's lost a lot of friends. I wonder if he speaks to anyone from his GH days. Even Steve's views aren't as openly outlandish as the stuff Ingo puts out and I doubt they were close after Ingo blasted Monavie all those years ago.

Honestly, it's nice Drake stood up for his character, but he also knew and agreed to host the SOD awards (I believe), so it's not really Days fault. They just worked around it.

I thought it was written in fine, tbh. Stefano had John and Marlena clean up and dress up for the dinner where John was going to eat the poison soup that would brainwash him again. I actually knew why it was happening, but didn't think it was ridiculous. In my mind it made sense that Stefano would want Marlena/John to look fancy and dressed up if he was having dinner with them.

I feel like I explained this entirely already 10 posts ago. There are reasons Jagger hates Sonny, but Karen made peace with Sonny long before she died. Jagger/Karen broke up (offscreen) because he was cheating. No one is a saint here. Wagger is the best name ever. Still don't know why he is back either. So many people in this world can hate Sonny because he's a literal criminal. Bringing back his "enemy" from 30 years ago is so weird. It's not relevant to anything currently.

I still feel like Nina is one bad move away from a breakdown. Even though I hate weepy, insecure, apologizing Nina I do think CW is playing it like she is slightly unstable and trying desperately to keep it all together.

I don't think it's the craziest idea, but I think Drew is short on time here. Once Steve is back Drew will be marginalized and gone again.

Lol. I don't care that much either. I am just a completionist I suppose. It just feels unfinished at this point and pushing Sonny towards Anna or Lois or Ava or whoever feels strange. I guess we will see what's next.

As much as I hate Nina/Sonny I just don't feel like this is the dealbreaker for them. After years of the show telling us how compatible they were it feels like a letdown to their fans at least? If they exist. I guess Nina could go back to Valentin, but that feels like a fate worse than death and I still don't think Nina was wrong in the SEC nonsense.

Ughh...I forgot about my Anna/Sonny fears until this moment lol. Do we think Sonny is actually going to permanently move on from Nina?

It does. And I honestly don't think it's the worst idea in the world. They do have chemistry. It just strongly goes against everything Lois represents, but Lesli Kay's Lois did date Alcazar so I am not even sure where Lois is at as a character or a person. The only real frame of reference we have about Lois's love life for all these years is that she married Ned and felt that was a disaster and is fine with Olivia marrying him.

Yes! The things Olivia was saying about Lois needing Sonny's approval was so strange!! This is a woman who once convinced Sonny's girlfriend to wear a wire on him to get Sonny in trouble because he was breaking the law. Lois loves Sonny as an old friend, but she never compromised on his bad behavior. As far as Nina, I could see her disliking her on principle or to have some solidarity with Brenda or something, but she just hates her to hate her which is weird. I feel weird vibes from it all and I hope they move away from the Lois/Sonny thought when PM and Korte take over.

That's fine if that's her wish and I do respect her beliefs. I am just not sure why she is on a soap if that's her way of thinking. If the show allows it, though, I can't really say much. I don't think what Sonny did was rape. It was just very exploitative and a villian move, but I think Karen is the main motivator in Jagger's hatred. John/Jagger treated Karen like crap too and I expect he has guilt himself because she's dead and taking it out on Sonny.

Jagger has good reason to hate Sonny. He got an underage Karen hooked on drugs, slept with her, and employed her as a stripper. He also was not so great to Jagger's ex Brenda. Yes, he was there for Stone, but the point still remains Sonny has exploited underage/nearly underage women for years. I love Sonny/Brenda more than anything, but she was 18 and he was near 30. Karen was spiraling after revealing her sexual abuse and Sonny took that and ran with it to control her. Listen, it's been very whitewashed over the years but the Sonny Jagger knew was pretty scummy. Is it silly 30 years later to still hold that grudge? Maybe. Jagger didn't treat Karen or Brenda all that well, but I can understand his anger even if both women long forgave Sonny.

It just doesn't seem like the right job for you if you are against love scenes lol. I did like early Chase/Willow, so it might be an Amanda Setton thing more than a JS thing. Exactly. You are in the wrong business if you don't want to pretend to be in love scenes. It's not porn lol. I know AS was a little body conscious post-baby so it may be more that than a moral objection.

While I absolutely respect their personal boundaries it defeats the purpose of being on a soap. You can't just say you hard pass the love scenes because you are married. Most couples on soaps aren't married to one another and have no problem acting through love scenes.

He's the best member of his stupid family, but that's saying very little. I find Brook Lynn and Chase boring. They were cute in the very beginning, but he just drains the life out of her. She tries so hard to be this amazing person, which is fine, but it doesn't feel right for Brook Lynn. Adrienne Leon had more fire as Brook Lynn. 😂

I think she does have spunk, but we don't always see it. Chase has pretty much ruined her character. Agreed. I knew you would suggest it. I am not against it lol

The only time I liked Chase was back when he and Willow started dating many moons ago. I actually thought the first iteration of Willow/Chase was cute. Now I can't stand either of them. I don't think Chase and Brook Lynn have much chemistry, his family is annoying, his singing is annoying, and I'd prefer Brook found someone who could match her spunk.

I always thought ALW was an odd choice for Chloe. I could see her as Belle, but never as Chloe lol.

I honestly do not want to see ALW's take on any character ever again 😂

The character has had a lot of insane writing and I do think she works better as a vixen as opposed to a good girl. She really isn't necessary for the show, but I do think her and Brady as endgame would help stabilize Brady as a character. Theresa and Brady will never be an endgame, true love couple and it was blasphemous when she compared her and Brady to John/Marlena the other day. It seems like she does enjoy the show and the part. I would have recast Belle years ago, but it is what it is. I wouldn't recast MM now. It's just ridiculous John/Marlena's only biological child has no place on this show.
