You know I love the adorable little girl that plays Donna, but if you killed both Avery and Donna off at the same time I wouldn't even notice. Honestly, if they replaced Avery with the girl that plays Donna I wouldn't even pause. Actually is Avery even on the show anymore? lol Well, Lexi's Kristina was only pulled out of the closet once a month, but I think Morgan/Kristina were close? I remember Michael and Kristina being much closer though.

But what about DONNA? It's so silly that Carly's still actively shocked by this violence. Michael almost died a few months ago. There's denial and there is straight stupidity. Bry Dog aside, I do think more people should talk about Morgan dying lol.

After Carly's son with Sonny already died tragically lol.

The fact Kristina can cut a brake line, but can't smell gas is silly. And, yes, I was like Kristina I am sure Sonny pays for insurance so please just leave the bar and not try to fight the fire with a teeny, tiny fire extinguisher.

OMG!! Now we have to investigate Natalia's death? Can't we just let this all go now, Frank?

Lol! That's a fail. I don't watch his you tube show that often anymore. Emma/Anna do look more alike than Anna/Robin or Robin/Emma though.

I wish Steve could have spelled Gio's name right lol. The intention was nice though.

I haven't said it 3 times lol. I literally contemplated even mentioning those names, but I did. I apologize in advance. I'll get my punishment when Violet shows up again.

I really pretended they were two different characters. That was the only way I could even try to tolerate the whole fiasco. I am so glad we are past the Easton/Howarth years (hopefully 🙏) "The beaches are nice". Oh, Sonny. I still can't get over the fact she has to leave the country forever over a DUI. I wonder if the show will kill her off or just send her to rehab.

Do we even want to talk about James Franco at this point? I am still traumatized over the scene with Jason and the M&M's.

Thank you! No wonder Chad quit. It's like at this moment he was resigned to his fate at GH and decided to just be actively bored from this point on. Chad is clearly contemplating if his contract pays him enough.

They should have made her a drunk earlier. Explain some behavior. Again, it wouldn't make Natalia likeable but it would have gone a bit of a way to understand some of her obnoxious takes.

Eva is a little cold on screen. She's in the same vein as Robin Christopher to me. I don't think they are bad they just aren't inherently likeable either.

The sad thing is I know exactly what Natalia is trying to say because phones in 2008 lol.

Well, now I think we all need to see that. Van can be a lot and is also not my first choice for Lucas, but I think he's likeable and fun. It doesn't read Lucas as a character IMO yet it doesn't bother me at the same time if that makes sense. He never seems bored or phoning it in which is half the battle on GH at this point.

The one time Mo's disinterest actually works. He's literally wondering if he can write this off as a tax deduction.

I think Eva is a very seasoned vet and won't put this job at the top of her resume. She seems like an intelligent woman and will probably call this a loss. The, welp, this character always sucked take by her makes me like her more.

She should have realized trouble when she signed the contract. But I could see Eva thinking the slight reform of the character, the addition of more family, and a possible Sonny pairing would have saved her for a bit. I don't think anything would have saved that character long term. I just could see her reasoning. I am still of the mind that they should have paired her with Sonny short term. Not because I care about her or a Sonny pairing. Now it's just some random alcoholic died that no one cares about. It has zero impact. I guess Marco might be sad. Blaze won't even leave her Ricky Martin tour lol. At least Eva got paid I suppose? I think there were some behind the scenes shenanigans with Blaze/Kristina and everything got really messed up for Natalia. The show tried half-heartedly and just called it a loss. That's fine to me because I do appreciate that actively happening on GH when they tend to keep people for years and years, but I do feel bad for Eva. I don't think there was ever a true way to recover from firing the gay daughter and leaving the homophobic mother on the show.

Yeah, I heard Marco say that more than once lol. I am absolutely not blaming this on Marco, but showing his mom's drunken texts to Lucas and being like, oh well? was humorous. And saying this happens all the time when Natalia wasn't even a drunk until last month. The woman couldn't even complete a sentence. Eva La Rue gives a pretty decent interview about her departure basically saying, yeah, the character just didn't happen.

It looked like Natalia had a panic attack when she got back to her room, took medication, and drank half a bottle of whiskey/bourbon/rum and then forgot she took her pills and kept taking them. Sonny's guard kept asking for her to come out and said it was time to go, so I don't think it was poison. She just passed out. I am not even sure you could categorize Natalia's messages as world salad. It was more auto correct actively working against her lol.

Didn't Natalia just OD? It didn't look like she was poisoned. She was just drinking and taking anxiety? pills. Also, can Natalia not voice text in 2025?

To me the problem is the next generation is not great? And that's on Days and I have said they relied on vets for way too many years. Deidre Hall could practically be my grandmother, but I wouldn't watch the show without Marlena. That's specific to me though. Marlena is Days to me and I slug along everyday with bad sets, bad wardrobe, blue lighting, and Peacock being a mess because I want to see my characters. I don't think her arc is done. She's just beginning a new arc post-John. If Deidre, Susan, and Suzanne want to continue allowing us to watch them I am all for it.

Mfundo was just out of his league with a character that got very little nuanced writing. Phillips and to a lesser extent Monti Sharp could play around with the character and make Justus more fully formed. I have always thought Monti Sharp was overrated and totally miscast though. Mfundo was just like I guess we will cast Justus today and see who shows up for auditions lol.

It's obviously a disservice to AJ as a character, but also to Sonny. I know, you hate Sonny, but he killed his son's biological father in cold blood. The show ran with it for a few months and Michael forgave him and Sonny faced no real consequence. If you are going to write that story-WRITE IT- instead of chickening out. Someday, someone will care Jagger is dead too. Your ideas are great. I think Joseph Phillips is on the Ingo end of problematic, so probably not him. Funny, I always thought the show went too young with later Justus recasts. They never had the gravitas Phillips had.

Thanks! I remember Justus dying, but I couldn't recall if he showed up at that monastery or whatever (I know you know what I am talking about) after or if that was his true ending lol. A.J. should be brought back now. He reappears at Monica's funeral. It can be a short arc. He reveals himself to Michael and Jason then leaves because Sonny thinks he's dead. Then you can bring him back permanently later on. Obviously, Sean Kanan wouldn't agree to that though. I would bring Keesha back after with AJ's child and perhaps Justus's secret son that she raised. Then I would fold the mystery of Justus possibly being alive in. I think the show said non-appearing Zoe was in med school back in the day so she's an option. Maya-eh-I never really cared for her.
