Lol! I was laughing at Elizabeth just saying Willow dipped out on her shift. Like Liz you are her boss? Why aren't we more concerned about that from a business standpoint? You can't just start losing nurses at this point.

It seems like her most notable role would be on CBS's Ransom several years ago? Not really the point though lol. I know it's not the easiest task in the world to create chemistry with Mo/Sonny, but this is painful. It doesn't even feel like human interaction. Claire Walsh at least briefly had an agenda to take Sonny down and was a lame spoiler for a returning Brenda. DA Turner just dislikes Sonny? Dislikes the mob? She's not an active threat to Sonny, so I don't know why they even interact. I honestly don't remember Jordan Baines at all lol.

Jake is actually an interesting choice I hadn't contemplated. I was secretly hoping Scout just had enough of her dad's nonsense lol. But seriously, Willow is the way to go. I honestly thought Sidwell's wife was just a pretty woman and not an actual actress. Apparently acting is her career of choice. I would agree that Vultaggio is better and I am positive I have never complimented her before. DA Turner is one of the most unnatural actresses on the planet. She's lucky Rachel Boyd's Sophia on Days exists or I would name her the most stilted performer on soaps. Hannah at least had a purpose. An ill-conceived purpose, but there was a point to the character. There is literally no point to this DA lady.

Oh, yeah, I guess that makes sense too. I was perhaps giving Days too much credit and thinking eventually they might flashback to a scene where Aaron did ask her that and she assured him it wasn't.

The one conversation Aaron and Sophia had around graduation when Aaron said he'd thought he and Sophia would end up together really made me think the show might go there with the baby story. I fear Aaron and Ari might become an item though. Sadly, he's pretty much her only option unless I missed a casting call or spoiler (totally possible).

I almost wonder if DT was irritated by being given a grown daughter with Trina-like he feels it stifles some of Curtis's ability to move on to other women and he's permanently tied to Portia.

That's exactly what it feels like. Both Portia and Isaiah could be tested with other non-black cast members. It's the same thing GH has been doing for years. And now Curtis and Jordan will be back together. Meh.

No. It's not very well set up IMO. I have never gotten chemistry or heat from them in scenes before they hooked up. I am absolutely fine with Portia/Curtis breaking up but I only got a sense of mutual admiration from Portia/Isaiah. The whole thing seems fast and not very believable.

It would definitely make more sense if Sophia made moves towards Tate during her pregnancy or Sophia/Tate briefly got back together when Holly/Tate broke up. She had the oppurtunity then. Now, it's silly because there is nothing tying her to Tate. Holly just seems petty. Trust your boyfriend. Calm down. I highly doubt Sophia/Tate are going to hook up by the chowder bowl at the Pub. It's kind of awkward on Roman's part to hire them both, but they do have experience and there's only 3 or 4 places to work in Salem so here we are.

EJ said he had an assistant/right hand (meaning Rita),but said he could use someone to do more everyday menial tasks like Cat. The Sophia/Holly fight felt a little silly. One girl has just given up a baby and lost so much and Holly is just mad Tate/Sophia work together? I think Rachel Boyd/Sophia is a total dud, but maybe Holly could go hang out with Ari or get her own job instead of following Tate/Sophia.

Yay! At least I don't have to worry about him on GH in the near future!

It makes Mo look older. It reminds me of all those years they had Drake/John dye his hair that muddy brown on Days. When he let it go silver fox he looked so much better. They let Dante/DZ have grey in his hair and he's Sonny's son. I wonder if Mo says it's a "GH thing", but it really is a Mo idea lol. I hate the same thing about those type of kidnappings. I always wonder how they use the bathroom lol. I find the Rick kidnapping interesting although I agree with those who say it's being played a little campy and silly. It is a goofy situation so I don't mind that much. I like that it gives NLG, Mansi, and West something fun to play. The 5 poppies story is a snooze. I didn't think anything Britt related would be good, but I am surprised at how lackluster it is. And how inept Joss/Vaughn are as WSB agents.

I don't think I would kill Maxie off. Mostly because I don't want Felicia to lose both her children. I would recast or send Maxie/Spinelli out of town with a HEA. When KS decides she's ready to come back from her endless move across country the show could always bring her back. The Ric/Kristina/Ava stuff was good today. I actually gasped when Ava hit Ric in the head lol. I agree they are playing Drew a little too cartoon villain at this point.

While I have no doubts NLG can be difficult to work with if she dislikes you, I doubt she has anything to do with TB's/TJ's dismissal. The show rarely had use for Taj's TJ or TJ in general in the first place. I think GH decided to give he and Molly a story, break them up so Molly could be paired with some new (aka white), and had TJ fade away. I believe in this case the most obvious answer is the truth. The blame is most likely on FV and the writers, not NLG.

Yeah, I doubt the cheating matters. Ric would just use it as an excuse to go full force after Liz lol. I think the bigger issue is the alliance they have with Alexis, but that's already in the process of breaking down.

The Ava/Ric pairing feels stalled or directionless? Like the show doesn't know where it's going with it. I suppose JJ's exit caused a few rewrites with Liz and Kristina. The Ava/Ric pairing wasn't taken as serious so does it matter if Ava "cheats"?

I don't mind Cody/Ava or Ava/Ric. I feel like Ava is just Ric's 2nd choice when he really wants Liz, but Ava/Cody could blossom into something fun. Even if Cody/Ava aren't a love match it would be nice for them to just have some sexy, no strings attached good times.

If Molly/Cody had some fire chemistry or anything interesting going on I would be fine with it. They both need something to do. I will say I did enjoy the Michael/Molly scenes if only because they rarely interact like they are family or grew up as family.

Molly was supposed to be the mature and responsible Davis girl. She was in a long term partnership and ready to raise a child last year. She can't ask Cody out for coffee? I've complained Molly lost some of quirkiness throughout the years (and recasts), but I didn't expect her to regress into an 8th grader about men. Even HP's Molly slept with Brando. Ava/Cody are much more compelling than Molly/Cody, which feels way too forced.

Idk, since the sacrificial lamb on all this is Kristen who Marlena should hate, I really don't have issue with it. Kristen has committed a litany of crimes she got away with-including raping Marlena's own son and the entire John situation. Is it out of character? Probably, but I assume she believes she and Brady can help Rachel more than Kristen could and the lack of Kristen's influence (and other Dimeras) will help. And this has not been shown in writing yet, but if Marlena was a little bit bitter about the years she and John lost together because of Kristen I would understand.

Probably. I thought Willow hitting Lucas would send Liz off the train, but it didn't. I do understand her sympathy in some ways though.

I am not exactly sure how old Molly is. Let's say late 20's. Her acting like a quirky loon with Michael was in character, but why would Cody want indecisive Molly when he can have a real adult woman like Ava? I am glad Brennen knows how to fix broken pipes otherwise Carly would have to hire a plumber like everyone else. I guess that's what he brings to the relationship lol. Liz and Kristina were good. I don't know how I feel about Liz being so ride and die for Willow though.

I wouldn't doubt it although Cherie Jimenez looks the same age as her daughter on the show already.

Sami on Days was my immediate thought. Someone like Olivia on GH would probably qualify since she was a teen mom and Dante had a son when he was a teen.

Yes! "Easter eggs" of cancelled soaps are what is keeping GH alive.
