Yup. You can hate John all you want, but like seriously he was the cornerstone of the show for years. So he should get a long ass funeral and burial and all the things because Drake and John deserve that.

Yes. We should absolutely move on from John/Drake's 40 year legacy on the show to see what Leo is going to do tomorrow. Lol. This can't be a serious post.😂

That makes it worse!!!😂

I like Amelia too. I honestly don't mind the name Willow in general either. Wiley is stupid. It's sounds like Wile E. Coyote.

Daisy? Meh. I don't love the name (no offense to any Daisy's out there lol)

I actually thought it was a dig at Haley too when I heard it lol.

Yes. I remember them together during the early summer of 1986. They didn't share scenes again for 30 years until 2017 because Carrie wasn't on the show when Anna returned during Sydney's kidnapping.

Well you have a Violet hater friend in me. And, seriously, Laura Wright has had those moles and beauty marks for years. No one would take time to alter that lol.

FALSE!!! She was never cute or precocious or adorable.

And Violet's.....😂 I am sure Frank's been missing her lisp and singing.

I am sure it was not what JJ thought was going to happen with Lucky or Lucky/Liz and I don't think JJ will ever be back. That was just an awful return and his return in 2010 wasn't anything great lol.

Well, what a waste of JJ and Liz/Lucky. I sincerely thought Natalia was going to die in a drunk driving accident today, but I guess not.

I like the pool set as well. It's something different, guys and girls in skimpy clothes and all that. I dislike when they have characters in full on business attire having meetings there though. That seems silly. The pool depth is also ridiculous. They should just have characters sitting on the side with their feet in the pool if they can't shoot it correctly.

I definitely think FV wanted to pair Kristina and Lucky. Why else would Lucky decide to become a bartender at her stupid bar? Lucky was a cop, a crusader?-whatever he was doing in Africa and all these years away. It makes zero sense for him to just be content tending bar for some flakey girl he knew since she was born. Have him work with Spinelli at PI firm or something. There were also some scenes with Kristina and Lucky that seemed like the show was leaning in that direction. I also suspect JJ was extremely unhappy with that idea lol. As far as Lulu, I certainly don't miss the JMB smug era. I hate that BLQ looks like a poor, innocent victim being tortured by Lulu at every turn though.

I have never been much of a Lulu fan either since the JMB days. I do think Alexa Havins is really a great recast. When Lulu returned it was at the expense of Sam (no loss to me) but not the best for audience favor, she was barely on screen for weeks after she woke up, then went to run off and put everyone in danger to find Charlotte at the expense of her other child, and finally moved on to this Brook/Dante baby investigation. Lulu never had a chance to grieve the years she lost, re-bond with her family or her friends, re-integrate herself back into town, or be anything more than a chaos creator. Meanwhile, Brook Lynn is this poor, innocent victim that's being bullied by Lulu. I don't think Lulu is right. I would just like a little more subtlety in the writing.

I think the writing is slanted against Lulu. I don't think there is an issue with the character in general. I just think Lulu doesn't get many layers or nuance in her writing. Lulu becomes obnoxious and a bully to Brook Lynn and both characters SHOULD have flaws.

Given the way both Lulu and Lucky are written I can guess. Do Lulu and Lucky even speak? Lol Liz is useful to prop one of Frank's pets when they are failing, I suppose. It's shame GH loves to do the opposite of what fans want.

Yeah I just took it as the life Marlena truly wanted and needed started with John that day. She lived a life before with loves and happiness, but found her soul mate in John. Besides, I don't expect Marlena to get into semantics of her previous loves with her husband that clearly has little time left. And, yes, @j swift in Salem you just say Happy Anniversary whenever you multi time married friends decide what day they want to celebrate it lol.

I could see Liz not caring too much about the Gio reveal, but Lucky covering for Kristina almost killing people, herself included, deserves a reaction. Lucky hardly even knows Kristina. And the conversation just ended with Lucky going to make dinner, WHAT!!? Maybe both Lucky and Liz are high on her painkillers lol.

I always wished Don would have returned so Marlena and Don could have a hilarious conversation about how it was reasonable to not be able to tell the difference between your spouses. Whoops!😂 At least Sam was Marlena's twin....

Poor Sami and Eric!! Yes, DJ died because Marlena dared to work through her pregnancy in Don's mind. Whatever, Don.

The writing for Lucky/Liz is really erratic. Is that a ring Lucky has? Are Lucky and Liz even officially dating lol? I actually entirely forgot about Natalia. I guess the Eva La Rue experiment is over.

KA started in 1983 both KA and DH left in 1987. KA appeared for a few months in 1990. Deidre came back in 1991 and KA returned again in 1994. Outside of Deidre's firing in 2009 and KA leaving they always were in one another's orbits. Hope was more part of the young crowd in the 80's, but they still shared stories due to Bo/Roman. I would say both characters had different periods of prominence, but overall it was very equal. I would say even someone like Ali/Sami might have Roman and Don beat out as far as episodes appearing with Marlena, but that wasn't really the original question lol

Kristen also raped John post-Paris with a Magic Mirror. Her pregnancy was "delicate" and they couldn't be intimate. She had already lost the baby, needed to get pregnant immediately again and set a Stefano tricked out Magic Mirror to hypnotize John and John thought he was having sex with Marlena. John woke up the next day and thought it was a dream.

I have no idea why Gio would go to Sonny first since he told Emma he thought Sonny knew about him all along. Maybe to clarify if Sonny knew? Considering Sonny didn't know Dante was his son back then it doesn't really matter. I am sure Sonny will make some wise parallel about his father leaving and his mother dying or being lied to by Olivia and Gio will see the light.
