She was fabulous. I don't even know what you are talking about lol. The character of Kate in itself gave me a side eye due to everything we previously knew about Sonny, but I thought MB and MW had great chemistry. Outside of Alexis, it felt like the first time Sonny had a mature romance where he wasn't lying or protecting chaos monsters like Carly and Brenda. That isn't a shade on my two lovely ladies. Kate (pre-Sullivan) just felt more stable as a partner for Sonny.

Yeah. RH at least gets to come back. They completely bypassed MW when Kate came back for KSu. It's clear she was willing. I have no evidence, but I feel like MW had to have made someone mad behind the scenes.

I adored Megan Ward's Kate and her amazing haircut. I am surprised she didn't ever end up on another soap. It really was a refreshing change for Sonny and it felt like he considered her an equal. I always wondered what MW did because it's clear they put her backstory onto Olivia and dropped Kate. It still makes no sense there was a second teenage love for Sonny in Bensonhurst lol.

I don't think Kelly Sullivan is awful. Her material was and she's what? a decade younger than LW and VM who are supposed to also be significantly younger than Sonny. It was just an odd casting choice. Listen, with Ghost Connie I just think Megan Ward is tanking it because she pissed off she got fired for no reason in the first place.

Connie should have never existed. Kelly Sullivan was way too young to be Sonny's high school girlfriend, and Megan Ward was the last person MB had viable chemistry with.

I think it's just surgery. It doesn't even sound life threatening. It's more life threatening for him to not have the surgery and put it off.

So is Blaze not Sidwell's kid? Just Marco? I still don't care about any of it. Sonny getting heart surgery is not that important lol. Just get the surgery done and stop pretending it's catastrophic for the business.

Thanks! I wasn't terribly clear if that should be Laura's unilateral decision to make. It seems fair to put it to a vote in my mind, but I get it.

😂 It's irritating because up until a few months ago Laura and Sonny weren't that close. She should be able to distance herself from Sonny pretty easily. Rocco seems like he's mature enough to understand the reasoning. Someone may need to explain to me why it is such a bad thing to have the citizen of PC vote on this? I know they keep saying Laura is putting responsibility on the citizens, but I don't see how that is wrong. Is it too costly to hold a vote? Is this a decision Laura should just decide on her own? Just curious.

Correct lol. You would think one of the adults in the room would have thought of that before a teenager.

I had to laugh at Sonny sad/surprised/sorry face when he overheard Rocco say maybe Sonny shouldn't come to his debate-like Rocco's debate was life or death😂

I agree. I generally find Casey Moss dull and bland, but I thought he did good work today.

I am pretty sure there was never a need to make a "nod" to Amy Vining. She was a unique character on her own. Making newAmy a "play" on the original is just lazy and useless. She's never gotten her own personality or story and is only trotted out during the time the Nurse's Ball is coming around. I actually think the actress is charming, but it is a very thankless role.

I feel the exact same way. Sami wasn't ever my favorite either although I usually liked her. AS/Sami leave a hole in the canvas when she's gone. On another note, Sami mentioned her job was in Italy to Rafe. What exactly does Sami do for a living lol? Seriously, I can't remember a legit career she ever had. Do they just google these images? That is not at all how I picture Salem in my mind lol.

For some reason the GH thread becomes a hotbed of posts about things that actually didn't happen onscreen.

I...don't really think that's it lol.

I don't really understand why Alexis couldn't present this evidence to Kristina and talk it through with her. Just to at least understand her mental stability and let her give Kristina a chance to explain. Even though it's obvious Kristina is wrong and is unstable. There is no reason for Alexis to coddle a 35 year woman even if it's her daughter. I actually don't mind Ava getting money. It was hers. A little baby doesn't need the entire Cassadine estate.

I think both Austin and John were severely dumbed down to try to make it work, although I am not sure how smart Austin was to begin with lol. I think Drake/John sold the dimness better because you could see where he was coming from. He thought he ruined Marlena's family and was trying to move on from her, he and Marlena had a great friendship that he didn't want to ruin, generally thought the best about people, and was probably lying to himself as much as Kristen was lying to him. And while John/Marlena/Kristen/Stefano hit the right amount of pacing (a lot due to Marlena being kidnapped to drag it out), I think Austin/Sami/Carrie lasted too long. Austin's belief that Sami wasn't lying THIS time and that he had to do everything because Will was his son was just weirdly outdated. By the time Sami was exposed a lot of the audience had moved on the Carrie/Mike. I can easily see how it failed on Passions when he was already teetering on the edge on Days near the end of his run. He wasn't going to have the audience backing he had on Days with legacy characters.

Steve left around Sept of 2012 so it was fairly early in the Valentini run. FV did recast him with Billy Miller so they may not have vibed. It was clear to me Steve was following Jill out the door. I do think his return in 2017? as Patient 6 was pretty good. Most of the rest of his material after was a Sam/Jason/Drew back and forth. And, you know, the usual mob stuff.

Take it from me the Caroline/Carolyn thing is real and someone says it to me probably once a week maybe more. I will quickly repeat my name out of habit and I will still be called Carolyn. I just don't know why through all the years someone didn't quietly tell both actors to right the pronunciation and move on like they always said it correctly. Oh, I loved the promos and the story. I laughed because they were all vaguely the same like this time Kristen would get caught. This one you just posted was at least near the end lol.

That is a great point and theory that I didn't really think about. It does seem like the writing team isn't thrilled and obviously I don't blame his costars for not being entirely on board. Obviously that didn't work out for KeMo and I can imagine being irritated Steve just got away with risking everyone's health and only had to take another job on a soap to "wait it out"

I swear in 1996 and 1997 80% of Days commercials were the same variation of these John/Marlena/Kristen promos. "Will this be the week Kristen is exposed?" It was never the week lol. I actually completely forgot Franco was a spoiler for Bo/Hope. JER really gave Bo/Hope some bad material.

I think they are still close. Spinelli just really isn't that entrenched in the mob scene anymore. He mostly appears with Maxie. I am sure that's down to Bradford's availability or whatever deal he has with the show. The larger picture about Jason is that he's been mostly isolated from his previous relationships. Carly is his only friend at this point. He doesn't even seem that close to Sonny. The show killed off Sam, he never talks to Liz, Michael isn't around, one of his kids was shipped off and the other rarely appears, and of course Monica is gone. Even some of his lesser friendships with Lucky, Lois, Maxie, Dante, etc have been ignored. Suddenly we are down to Anna and Sasha being his potential love interests. I don't know. This Burton return has been so strange lol. It's like Jason isn't really doing anything at all but appears consistently to have the same conversations over and over again.

I have always assumed Spinelli was neurodivergent. The show just made it seem like it was "quirky" and "funny" instead of addressing the issue.

Spinelli is a character that works in small doses. I don't know why Guza thought Spinelli was so funny and cool. Bradford doesn't play Spinelli as hyper and childlike anymore either. It's like the character of Spinelli just grew up and matured lol. That never happens on GH!
