Lol! Well she just announced it. At least her third trimester look makes sense now. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

What about Sam on GH? It wasn't a miscarriage exactly, but we had to hear about her broken uterus for approximately 7 years after that. I still don't know how Sam had two kids without a uterus to this day. And I will never not be grossed out by Maxie miscarrying Lulu and Dante's kid and immediately having sex with Spinelli and getting pregnant with Georgie. EWWWWW..

Yeah poor Nicole. I don't think Rafe was ever the father of her baby. It was Ej, Ej, then Daniel. Marlena's slow motion tumble down the penthouse stairs is epic. As is John, Kate, Roman just standing there while she tumbles. What a stupid story. That whole thing was awful, but I can't forgive wasting Wayne Northrup in the most thankless role ever.

Nicole was my first thought too. I think GH's Carly has had a few unnecessary miscarriages. Every pregnancy she had was high risk, but she has a bunch of kids lol. Shout out to Marlena's geriatric pregnancy on days. I get that it got that Alex story rolling, but DH was like 60 lol. I highly doubt she could get preggers after a one night stand with another senior citizen named Roman.

Umm...I had a cat named Marlena. So embarrassing. I was sure I was going to be a psychiatrist when I grew up lol. I stopped watching when her and Drake got fired and came back the minute they did. How can you not love someone who had a tv movie made about their life?! Such an icon!

Lol. At least Lily was a credible threat and was basically a nice person. She wasn't an all out villain. Sonny is the one who actually sucks and I didn't realize that as a kid, but he's continued sucking consistently for 2 decades just to remind me lol Anyway, I am FINE with Jax going to Rome and hooking up with Brenda off screen. He's useless now. I have made my Jax love known on here several times, but IR/Jax is just taking up space. He has no point and IR is just not the best representation for GH. I would like for Brenda to be living her best life off screen, but I will sacrifice that for Jax to be written off. Dude, just stop wasting your time on Nina and go find Brenda. As long as Sonny is not in Rome, you're fine Jax. I genuinely don't think we will ever rid ourselves of Carson, so I am good with Brax as a back up offscreen.

This may sound ridiculous because I have loved Marlena since I was a child, but her mere presence gives me comfort. And I can't even imagine the day she is not there. I just think she's amazing. Not the best actress, not winning any awards, but if I have a bad day Marlena/John make it a little better lol.

So gorgeous! What a queen Deidre Hall is!! Still rolling with the crappy writing, horrible sets/lighting, and the overall dumpster fire that is Days to give her fans what they want. I love her and her gaspy and ridiculous acting! And she truly still looks amazing at 73!!! years old.

It's weird how much I hated Lily in real time, but in re-watch I am okay with her. She's annoying and clingy and buys herself a husband, but she's not the worst. Sonny and Lily actually make sense. She would have been a great wife for him. I guess knowing she's going to die a horrible death helps the whole situation, but she really is a tragic victim in Sonny's lies. Vanessa playing crazy is just not in her range. She does decent work and she's gorgeous and charismatic which is why she is/was so popular. She also was generating great chemistry with her co-stars. I don't hate on her emmy win, she revitalized GH at the right time. But she is in no way a "juillard" master thespian lol. She was in no way capable of playing that story and I imagine that is why it fizzled out the way it did. And I won't even get started on wasting VM for an entire year on her playing cutesy games with Jax. Jax will take you back, girl. Jax would likely take you back today. I like Brax a lot, but she should have just left with MB. I always assumed Lynn Herring had it in her. She's always seemed very versatile. And I sorta want to live with her and Wayne Northrop on their awesome ranch lol.

Your memory is better than mine. I thought it was all the same, but clink boom has been re-done so many times lol. Neither here nor there, but I HATED Robin's short hair. Ugh.... I always wished Jason got some of his Jason Q. memories back and it looked like it was headed that way at different times. Brenda's breakdown was just a hot mess. I hated it more than any other Brenda story ever. I could write an entire post about how bad it was. Jax's love cured her I guess? The only good scenes in that entire story were Brenda at Lily's grave and Sonny and Brenda talking at the penthouse for the first time after he left her. Everything else was just cringey overacting. I literally get triggered thinking about Brenda and those tripods at her modeling shoot.

I was not spoiled about Lily either. And I was all what is going on? Brenda is marrying Jax and Lily just died? So good....... I also laugh to this day about no one having much urgency to find Brenda. A madman is actively trying to kill her, but I'm sure she's fine lol. Guza certainly had his moments. But I have to believe that arc was already set in motion by Labine. Jax was just added to the mix once Rena decided to leave. I believe Robin was involved in a Clink/Boom situation and Nik got injured. Jason performed a tracheotomy on him I think lol And it triggered Brenda's nervous breakdown. It was in late 97.

Lol. I remember Clink Boom was the Friday cliffhanger (obviously) and I had to wait all weekend for confirmation of her death. I thought she might have gotten out of the car or something lol. So I understand character hate. Michael seriously needs to go back to being Michael Quatermaine. That was the last time he was interesting. I am pretty sure MB complained about that story. He put a stop to it.

I definitely don't think it's abuse to rejoice in Peter dying. Wes Ramsey is an actor. His performances will be critiqued. That being said, I do kinda feel bad for the guy. I don't think he was actively trying to be the most hated character on GH. He is dead and gone for now so everyone (except LW) got their wish. But on the otherside again, I was ready to throw a party when Lily blew up. And Lilly Melgar seems like a very nice person so I can't judge. I was 10 though lol.

Yeah, ORK was pushing it as far as looking too old to be Belle/Shawn's daughter. ID looks way too old. I think ID's performance becomes bland because she's working so hard to conceal her accent. I saw her do some stuff on the Days app as herself and she was very likable and entertaining. I like Precious Way and I think it was clear with her other projects this was going to be a short term gig. My only complaint about PW is she delivers her lines in a very sing-songy way a lot. Her delivery is weird sometimes. But I think she definitely is charismatic. Raven Bowens so far looks like a fit for the part. Hopefully she works out.

They are like watching paint dry. I honestly find Sasha more interesting than Willow and I think Brando has potential, but they aren't really doing anything with either of them. Idk, I have felt the character of Michael has basically held the show hostage since he was born. I know most people complain about Sonny/Jason/Carly, but I think the birth of Michael was the beginning of the end. And he didn't even grow up to be anything more than a bland, vanilla leading man with no chemistry with any love interest.

Michael and Willow are the most boring couple on soaps today. Willow is not interesting or strong enough to be on everyday. CD/Michael hasn't been interesting in years. I think I would rather watch Sonny/Nina. Not trying to defend Julliard Wes, but it must be awful to be so unliked as an actor at your job that people throw twitter parties upon your exit lol. Thank goodness he has LW to pull in the cash because I don't think the acting offers will be pouring in for him.

No. Sofia is not pregnant in real life. So the fact she looks about 5 or 6 months pregnant today is an odd choice since she found out less than a month ago. Lol. I thought Sasha would most likely lose the baby, but now she seems past the danger zone. I mean, she could still lose it, she just looks far along now.

Precious Way is a lead on a new streaming show with Mc Lyte, so maybe she can't do both Days and that. Too bad, I liked her.

That's an very interesting idea too. I know Marlena ran a rape survivor group in the 80's. It could have great tv for the survivors to share their stories with Marlena leading it. But that's not a very Days thing to do.

I actually did think of that and agree, especially since Days is notorious for having their female leads raped. I get talking about Kayla, Ciara, Allie, Marlena, and Sami being raped is a lot. Didn't Jan mention her rape to in regards to killing Charlie too? I just think it's a use of history Days is missing. Although Marlena's rape was actually very plot-pointy/unnecessary at the time and hasn't really been used in story since early Roman/Marlena, so it's understandable. It's not even in the top 10 worst things to happen to Marlena lol..

Tbh, I am not sure if Marlena's rape is even a canon now. She hasn't mentioned in years and years. But there is something to 3 generations of females in a family being raped that could be played into story. Jarlena's townhouse is a decent set a would be fine for just Jarlena, but when the have unlimited guests at all times and refer to a 'back entrance' it's not even believable with how small the living room is. I agree it would be nice for Paulina to have something more lavish looking even if it's just the decor. I don't know what it is about what Allie wears but it looks childish and frumpy at the same time. I am not saying she has to go full on sexy like Ciara and Gabi dress, but she could have ditched the sweater like you said and the hair clip. But Kayla was dressed like a cross between a school girl and Colonel Sanders today so Idk..

Forget Paulina, give Marlena her gorgeous penthouse back. Since half the town lives in that townhouse with the world's smallest living room. I didn't mind Allie/Marlena today, but they keep missing the opportunity for Marlena and Sami to give advice about how they got thru their rapes. The show clings on to Kayla/Ciara's rapes, but never brings up Marlena's when it is 100% relevant to the conversation. Also, I hate the way Allie dresses. It's just ugly even if some of what she is wearing is on trend.

Me too. I am surprised Maggie (in her Horton days) didn't try it, especially with her interest in restaurants. I wouldn't have a problem with it if Allie was really interested and into baking, but she literally only did it for Chanel. Allie/Chanel aren't doing it to pass on a tradition or anything. They are just in it for profit.

^^^I love Carrie. I think she should still be on the show at least when Sami is on. Carrie>>>>Belle. I like the idea of Allie/Chanel/Tripp. All the characters don't bother me and, while I don't think any of them have a ton of chemistry, at least it's something different. Am I the only one kind of bothered Chanel and Allie got Alice's donut recipe? I know Allie is a Horton, but those two are going to profit off of Alice's famous recipe? Not into it.

Same. I wonder if Paulina intends to rename it. That's the vibe I got today when she was talking to the plaque.
