Will you be my new best friend😂? 100% agree about Skye. I have said my piece about adult women calling their dads 'daddy' and how I don't like it, but I was told it was fairly common and I accept that. It's just not my fave. I feel like it's mostly been unpopular to dislike Skye and I always found RC to be such a cold actress. A great actress, but not a very accessible one. I never thought Skye fit anywhere except the show she started on: AMC. I didn't outright hate the retcon of Alan being her father, but it was all for nothing in the end. I do think RC/Skye had a decent run during the Jax relationship and Brenda's return, but her and Jax never made sense in the first place. And GH just kept cramming her in places she didn't belong-Ric, Ned, Luke, Jax, the Alcazars. None of those pairings worked. Anyhow, it was very weird she was immediately so attached to the Q's and forgot about her old family in Pine Valley even though I did like Skye/AJ together and she had some fun one liners aimed at Jason. The Rae/Skye experiment was an interesting idea that didn't work, but ABC just kept trying to make it happen lol.

I have never been super impressed with Eden aside from the fact she looks like she would literally be Jax and LW's Carly's child. After the Oscar story they probably should have recast. To be fair to her though, I am not sure Joss was ever written to have nuances lol. Joss is always right. I am not sure she is written or directed to be wrong. Obviously EM could rise above the material, but Joss in general is very one note.

Exactly. Sonny did not need to make any more logical points because his point was already valid in Ron's mind. Will/Sonny have such a rich history and I wish the show would touch more on why Will/Sonny have such insecurity issues and what not, but Ron won't. LG was very good as Sarah today with Maggie and Xander. She's clearly capable. It still makes me wonder her thought process during that Sarah/Renee mess and what she was going for lol. Back to Leo, I would buy him trying to change if he did something to change. He spends all day hanging out with Gwen. He's not actively looking for a job or trying to figure anything out. Does he plan on living at Victor's forever?

I feel like Chase always gets the short end of the stick story wise to be honest. Kind of like Cam, he tends to be an afterthought. I thought Willow/Chase were actually a cute pairing before Michael had to be the designated winner. Chase/Brooklyn had some fans until the pairing moved at a snails pace. I agree that the popstar story is a dud and I do think Chase is very similar to Griffin and Nathan as a character as well. Believe me, I would question Chase getting a week long send off with montages too lol. I can only speak for myself, but I don't think the show is making Chase into a character he's not the way it does with Britt or Joss. I don't think you are taking it personally. It's not a good look for a character that is supposed to be our young female lead especially when the Cam/Joss pairing had such a build up for so long. Joss is 'supposed' to be a good person and nothing about her behavior suggests she's thinking of anyone but herself in this. She's not feeling guilty or taking responsibility and it's a weird way to have Joss/Dex start a romance to root for.

Everyone has had good ideas about how the Sonny/Will conversation should have gone. I just don't think the writers want to bring up Ben's past or consider that friendship 'wrong' or 'strange'. I also think the fact Ben isn't gay makes him less of a 'threat' to Sonny/Will's marriage. While at least 75% of you in this thread would be better writers than Ron, I would almost guarantee that Sonny bringing up Will's friendship to Ben in this wasn't even a thought to any writer from Ron on down to script writers because Ben's changed. Ron is pushing this Leo agenda and I don't even think we are supposed to think Sonny is in the wrong here. He doesn't need to defend his point more to Will because Will is already in the wrong. Leo has changed. Now he's unwittingly screwing up or getting involved in bad things. Leo's not outright evil anymore, so Will is just being a meanie because Leo would be on the streets.

I don't understand why Joss just doesn't take a few minutes to BREAK UP with her boyfriend. Yeah, it's sucks to have to break up with someone, but this story would be a lot better if she wasn't a fickle cheater. I could understand more if Joss was torn or the stakes were higher and they were in a more serious relationship, but she's not torn and they are just teenage sweethearts. Cam will get over this lol. And I still don't think it's written like Joss is doing anything wrong or that she is an ungrateful whore, but she is. I don't think Britt is the worst character, I just don't get the fanfare. I have liked her at different points and I did like her with Jason for that brief period, but I don't think she's that special to have such a long send off with montages and a party that lasts for days. Perhaps if people knew she was dying, but she's just a 40 something girl having a birthday party🤣 To me it's like Gabi on Days getting a sendoff like this. Gabi is a marginally important character and has gotten a lot of story, but she's not that important in the scheme of things. That's how I feel about Britt. Well, now I know Cam is not the hook, but I had a moment thinking it was possible before the Heather reveal. He was a firestarter as a child....😂

My vote would be Stone from GH. He was only on for 2 years and left a huge impact obviously for Robin but Sonny still mentions him regularly.

Kelly reminds me of none of those actresses lol. She has none of any of those ladies' charisma or likability and I suspect Britt will just be a footnote in GH's history. I do know a lot of people seem to share your opinion, but I just don't see myself and I have tried. I must be missing something lol. It's seems so silly to push Michael/Willow together and have them get married, then have them divorce, have her fake marry Chase, and then have Michael/Willow marry for real in a relative short period of time. I guess it is just a way to stall for a big wedding later on or something. I feel like Britt's exit story has been going on for eons now. It has to be ending soon. I feel like we heard about KT's departure 6 months ago.

It's not wrong to hope. It would be wrong to believe because that would never happen. Carly, Sonny, and Joss would survive the apocalypse. 🤣 @titan1978floated Cam as the hook. I haven't watched today's episode, but is that possible? I had no idea that Michael and Willow weren't married lol. I was wondering why he was proposing again. I guess I forgot they got divorced and she pity married Chase. I must have wiped that from my memory.

I just don't know how this kidnapping plot makes any sense. The idea does, but the way they are executing it does not. Even if Eric/Brady get the orchid this all will be easily traced back to them and then Kristen will still have that leverage against them. Anyhow, the Gabi/Stefan/Chloe stuff is moving again at lightning speed. Gabi needs to chill. She's ridiculously aggressive with Stefan. Give him a moment to breathe. I don't think Chloe will be involved much longer because I assume she will just get back with Brady. I like Wendy/Johnny, but I think I liked Wendy/Tripp a little more. I really like Wendy overall. She's a great new character and she's a good sister to Li. I think RH was a little better today at the acting lol. Not great, but he was basically just talking to himself for half an episode. I continue to enjoy Nicole/EJ and this is the story DF should have had all along. Rafe should never have even been in the equation, and it should have been and Eric/Nicole/EJ triangle from the start. Overall, decent episode. I am even coming around a bit on Sloan.

We can only hope we are getting the best one? 🤞🤣 I'll start the campaign now lol. Vanessa hasn't worked in a while.

@VeeThe most interesting thing about KT is the fact she looks a lot like Nancy Kerrigan to me lol. In comparison to Sabrina, I can see how she lasted longer, but otherwise I agree with you 100%. She's had nice chemistry with SBu and TC's Nik, but she's never had a pairing that caught fire and they have thrown KT at quite a few leading men. I guess I do enjoy the fact that she is very career driven and I like her relationship with Teri, but I think that's more because I like Teri. I don't hate Britt in the way I hate Nina or Willow, but I won't notice she's gone or miss her.

I have never gotten the Britt love, but she seems pretty popular with fans, TPTB, and soap press. She's a different type of heroine that's a little unique, but she's not the 2nd coming of Brenda Barrett or anything. I don't know why she got an entire episode devoted to her with Sonny in the front dancing along to her karaoke. But, again, this is a show that thinks Michael, Willow, and Joss are compelling leads

I agree with @ranger1rg that Cynthia Watros just had work done. It looks like a weird botox situation that makes her cheekbones look really prominent and makes her eyes look puffy or like she's squinting. I don't think she's ill, but I don't think she looks great or anything.

@AbcNbc247I feel like the editing of the reveal threw it off. You couldn't get into the performances because it kept cutting to flashbacks. I don't think you could get a feel for the acting because it kept switching back and forth. Agree that it was weird they just moved the episode 4 hours ahead mid way through. It's hard to invest in anything when so much happens off screen.

I wouldn't say Rachel is obscure just not the most memorable character. It's Kristen's actual mother. It's very easy to explain quickly. She was on about the same amount of time as Big Arianna. Obscure is probably Eric who is named after Shawn's brother the child molester lol.

I pretty shocked Gwen from Days didn't make this list. She's pretty useless.

That's true. It's probably more the fact 'happy' means settled down on Days. Even Ciara immediately wanted children once her and Ben got married and she's like, what, 23 lol. Rafe has always been dumb, but Jada look great! I think you are right about the wedding being at the Dimera mansion. The guests may have been extras, but there was one lady really excited and recording the wedding on her phone in the background lol. She had much more enthusiasm than the actual cast members. Chloe and Stefan just aren't a good match. I like both characters, but together they have no chemistry or excitement. BB and NB just work better with other screen partners. Also, Brady has like 0 chill in this kidnapping plan. It's so obvious he's up to something. I can't stand Kristen, but she should see right through this nonsense.

The problem with Days (and most soaps) is they age characters too quickly. Not SORASing, but Allie/Chanel act like an old boring middle aged couple. Even with the threesome lol! Will/Sonny have the same issue and they get saddled with ridiculous obstacles like a murder or freakin Leo. I don't understand why Allie/Chanel/Tripp/Johnny etc can't be written like messy 25 years. Nicole/Eric get written like messy 45 year olds. Chanel still has some spark to her, but any freshness Allie has is lost. I do think the complete lack of connection to Allie's own family hurts her. We hear about Allie doing things with her family, but we really don't see it, so she feels nothing like Sami's daughter. She tends to feel very isolated in ways Chanel/Johnny/Tripp even Wendy don't because it feels like all Allie's scenes are with Chanel. It might just be me, but the show mentions Allie doing things off screen all the time that sound vaguely interesting, but they do that with a lot of characters. John/Marlena and Steve/Kayle live most off their lives off screen.🤣 Why weren't Will/Sonny at Gabi's wedding? Did they end up watching Arianna? I know Wendy explained it, but I missed it and didn't feel like rewinding lol.

Yes! Very weird they used one of Paulina's daughters again. Perhaps if the show left some ambiguity about Chanel's culpability or made the accident more open to interpretation, but it's pretty clear it was a tragic accident. Plus the fact that Sloan can't see or at least empathize the teenage girl seduced by her married teacher was a partial victim makes her seem more unlikable when that's not what I assume the show was going for. Perhaps if the show chose someone like Gwen to be the 'killer' it would have worked better. Not that I care about Gwen at all, but she would have realistically made more sense down to the fact she's English and more age appropriate. Sloan shouldn't be going up against Chanel/Allie-two girls at least a decade younger than her.

I used to really like Allie, but can't stand her now either. She's such a drag. I don't know why Chanel even wants to be with her. She's a selfish nag lol. It's too bad because Allie/LA has so much potential, but Allie seems like no fun and way too old for her age. The Tripp/Chanel/Johnny/Allie quad had/has so much more story and this show rarely does well with it's young adult scene. The whole Chanel murder plot was just plunked right into the show for no reason. Sloan could have become more sympathetic just from telling that story. We didn't need to drop Chanel/Paulina into it.

It's so silly we had to sit through that stupid murder story when the Johnny/Allie/Chanel triangle with Wendy/Tripp writes itself.

I can't stand Allie anymore either. She's insufferable and her and Chanel are the least exciting couple on the show lol. They had this threesome/insecurity/Johnny triangle and then the show just dropped that and moved on to the Sloan murder story. Now I guess that's over too. I don't care about Stephanie/Ben 2.0 much, but I thought Alex would be the most likely character on the show to have a condom nearby (except maybe Eric these days).

That show does sound interesting @Soapsuds! So..........is the threesome 'story' just over? Only Johnny/Wendy know, Stephanie didn't find out, Chanel/Allie have no more insecurities and that's it? I know it was a stunt, but it was really pointless. That really has nothing to do with today's show, but I was just wondering why Alex didn't have any condoms with him when he has random sex all the time 🤣

It is odd that Drew has not gravitated more towards Sam and she is stuck in a pretty dead end romance with Dante instead. While Drew has several possibilities for romance Carly really doesn't until she inevitably gets back with Sonny or Steve comes back. Anyhow, I like Carly/Drew better than Sonny/Nina. @TaoboiI figured Carly's reasoning was something like that re: Willow/Nina. She's trying to be 'helpful' but she's just being her usual petty self lol. I still don't know how not having any parents is better than Nina being your mother lol. Nina's an obnoxious twit that I can't stand, but she's not evil or anything. I wish Carly would find a new career since the Metro Court isn't hers anymore. Carly will always be in everyone's business, but I wish she would pretend to do something substantial with her life.
