I would be shocked if GG was really out. You would think Rafe would have just left with Sami last week if he was truly gone. I wonder if Black Patch will even stay in business. It was a nice way to give John/Steve something to do, but how does it even turn a profit? Who's in charge with John gone and Steve looking for him? Rafe? He has been moping around about Jada. It doesn't appear he's working. Have they ever even solved a case that moved a plot forever lol? I'd probably close it after John's death, give Steve some vague job with the ISA, and Rafe can leave lol. The only reason to keep it going is if Paul comes back.

I HATE Diane. Hate everything about her. Still I think she believes Kristina does need help and Alexis and Sonny are too blind to see that. I think it's a very roundabout way for Diane to try to solve the Kristina criminal issue.

I agree with that regarding Sarah vs. Xander staying in town. Sometimes I am surprised Xander is still viable. It will be interesting to see a Xarah story written by a new team because as I said I think LG especially gets thrown off by the wackiness of some of their plots. Maturity would be a lovely thing for them.

Yeah, I have to agree Xander/Sarah have a strong fanbase. Outside of Ben/Ciara, they are the only younger couple that's had any traction with the audience over the last few years. They also tend to have some of the sillier plotlines (Renee) and LG seems to get fired or leave every other year, so I think that's why the consistency of their story is off sometimes. I still find them rootable for the most part even if I do think they are toxic for each other.

I think Jason pointing to his head and telling Danny we think in our heads was a throw back to Jason's own brain damage. I actually think Steve does play Jason as a damaged character that doesn't take social cues well and thinks people are judging. The writing doesn't play to that often so I appreciated that today.

Please never look that story up for your own mental health lol I don't think LG's styling is flattering for her at all, but if she likes it and feels comfortable I suppose it's fine. I think a Dr. should just look slightly more put together. She doesn't have to wear Marlena blazers but maybe a few less tiny tees and baggy pants.

She's okay. She can be good sometimes and other times I am like what is the energy you are channeling? Ex. the Renee story and her tendency to baby talk. I do think her styling is odd for a Dr. and I don't like her hair at all, but that's just me not liking it. I don't think she's ugly or awful.

I think Linsey Godfrey is a very objectively attractive women, but the mousy hair and punch able face comment did send me lol. You obviously want to slam on her looks, but I do kinda agree her grandma styling with the smallest tops ever are kind of off putting.

Again, just from memory but I think it was pretty unnecessary and crass.

I actually think Stefano might have snapped her neck after Marlo fell down the stairs but that is more a memory than absolute fact.

Yeah. I am actually surprised they never brought back Tyler "Pocket" Mimi/Phillip's son

Lisa had more natural charisma and was quite fresh in the role. I did love her take on Billie. Krista was just up against the JER years where he very much hated Bo/Hope and wanted to make Bo/Billie a thing again but the chemistry just wasn't there and the storylines were ridiculous. The Franco story and the Marlo story were completely unrelated. You are right about her falling down the stairs and dying and being drunk. That's why the Hope/Lexie switch had the original child having FAS. Hope/Gina couldn't remember if she drank or not and the child ended up being JT Reiber and I assume is doing well lol? The dad and stepmom took him after the whole baby switch. And Bo/Hope got Zack back only for him to die a year or 2 later because Chelsea ran him over.

I hated that story and found it so demeaning, but Krista seemed to be up for the task. I think the years have gone by and the Lisa Rinna glaze has worn off, so people do accept she did a decent job as Billie against horrible writing.

I don't feel much compassion for Sarah. She's obviously a smart woman, but never thinks things through and generally makes horrible decisions on bad instinct. Xander isn't better, but he owns that part of his personality a lot more. He feels so lucky to have such a 'good' woman like Sarah in his life. He doesn't realize she's toxic as well. I am not knocking Sarah because she's just a soap character and has flaws. I don't think the show acknowledges how many times she lies and manipulates on a smaller scale as well.

I know you are totally joking and it's not that serious, but I have always felt bad Krista had to play a fake prostitute being injected with heroin while she was very pregnant. She had to lay in that bed for weeks while Bo was like "sorry I got you into this situation🤷‍♀️. " I wonder what Hope is doing today?" 😂

I don't think anyone said Xander NEEDS to cheat. There were just some things that happened with Kristen today that planted the seeds. What Sarah did was worse than cheating IMO. She let him lose half his business and willingly has lied to him and brought others in on the plot. I don't know why we should think Sarah is absolved from being a known liar just because Xander is as well. The excuse is that she thought Xander might resort to violence is not indictive of a healthy marriage or relationship. Lol. Same.

YES!!! And she wasn't immediately struck down by lightning or anything. Crazy.

Just by looking at the promo I THINK it has something to do with Franco because that story went on for a long time and there were a lot of false leads. I also vaguely remember Krista Allen in a beret doing some ISA work and pretending to be in love with Roman (and actually hooking up with him). I can't confirm this is that plot though. Eric, even when Jensen Ackles was playing him, was useless as usual lol.

Yes. Absolutely both set of scenes were good. This is the type of material GH should be focusing on instead of worrying about Sonny absolutely not dying and trying to make Sidwell a Bond character.

I don't think the dialogue was bad in the Kristina/Dante scenes. It's just hard for me to believe they think Sonny would live forever considering the trillion times he's been hospitalized/shot/stabbed/whatever and their own personal tragedies. I liked the Jason/Danny scenes!! Steve Burton might also be one of those actors that does better with teens or younger cast mates.

Sarah can be ridiculously reactive to situations, and I assume she will also immediately sleep with someone else. Hopefully not Rex again.

I don't think they have ever been romantic in the past. SH always plays Kristen as very slinky and sexy so I am never sure if she's attracted to someone or just playing the character oddly lol. Xander and Kristen do make sense to me. I just wonder where that will leave Sarah. Alex? Phillip?

It's a bit surprising some of the rich folk like Marlena/John, Brady, Julie, Chad, Paulina, etc didn't throw in some money outright. Maybe Julie is bidding on the rest of the bachelors online lol? There should have been some throwaway line about how many generous donations they got from the people who couldn't attend.

The way Xander and Kristen interacted was strange today. Her staring at his bare chest for so long was a choice. I just couldn't tell if it was a joke-y "look how hot Paul Telfer is" thing or real interest. It was odd Maggie said she was cash poor then bid a million on the auction. Was that just a fake out so Kayla would be surprised? Gabi had a purpose for bidding to make JJ jealous, so I think that makes some sense. I don't know why Maggie wants to hang out with Chad that badly though lol.

I wish I knew what on earth this story was about and why Eric was there. I feel like KA's Billie was constantly undercover as a stripper or prostitute lol.
