I hated Sami's Days of her Lives show, but every time Ali comes back I am like so happy!! I hope Sami shot EJ to be honest. lol.

Ewww...JJ and his greasy haircut needs to be addressed, but the body shaming is weird. People come in different sizes and shouldn't have to resort to drugs to solve them. Everyone on GH is objectively attractive regardless of body size. The characters sometimes wear ill fitting clothing, but this is just mean.

As a female that dated 21 year olds at 18 I am not that concerned. It's weird she's still in high school though. I am sure they will have Holly graduate in a month or two and Brenda Barrett her off into adulthood immediately so it's not so creepy. It is strange that both the Dimera and Kiriakis mansion have full time staff, but literally everyone just walks right in.

Yes. I always thought it was a vague front to make Stefano seem legitimate, but the business just owned properties and laundered money or something. They didn't actually care about business. That wasn't anything Stefano was interested in.

It looks like Danny appeared last month, but I really don't recall if it was with Jason. Probably? I can't say I have been terribly impressed with the Jason/Danny relationship after the initial reactions around Sam's death. And don't even get me started on Jake. Such an odd decision to have him leave town now that Jason is back lol. Meanwhile we have kids like Charlotte and Violet before her being central in storylines.

I thought the acting was decent and there were some nice nods to history, but Jason/Carly have this exact conversation once a week! We get it show. Carly/Jason are bff for life. Carly won't listen and it will blow up in her face and Jason will save her. There is so much airtime dedicated to their friendship while other people and other relationships can't buy 5 minutes a week. I like both Jason and Carly separately and even I get frustrated hearing the same dialogue over and over for an entire hour. Can't Jason go check on his kids or Liz or something? Who Carly is sleeping with feels low on the list of things Jason should be concerned about.

Even if I believed they were equally dangerous worlds, which is a stretch, why would Jason think Carly would care? She's spent her entire life ignoring the danger of Sonny/Jason's world. Brennan's life being risky won't deter her at all. Jason is basically just wasting his breath here.

Yes. I have said this before but I have always heard Sonny was more popular with offline fans. I have no idea if that's true. If you were a lapsed or casual viewer I could see how the familiarity of Sonny/Jason would help getting you back into the show. I just don't know if there are lapsed or casual viewers making any difference.

I think it's more of the latter. MB has always appeared to be a BTS favorite, but I think the concern about ratings is the main issue. I actually do think suddenly killing off Sonny or having him leave would hurt ratings at least at first. We've discussed very solid ways to gradually shift MB/Sonny to the background and that should be starting now considering his story is so weak.

It would be interesting for EJ to discuss his own conception. Stefano dressed up as Elvis, drugged Susan and inseminated her with his sperm without her consent, making her believe The Elvis was the father. I am not sure if EJ knows this, but there is a whole angle of him thinking it was 'okay' and he got over it. He forgave his father so Johnny should forgive him.

I liked today's episode. Sonny being in it was fine, but I would have liked it more if Jason was the silent benefactor for Monica's wing. Or even Lesley, but I doubt she has that cash flow. I wish instead of talking about Robin's speech, Stone's performance at the Nurse's Ball, Maxie's hospital stay, etc they used actual flashbacks. I know the budget is tight, but you probably could have cut the nurses gushing about Deception products out and done some flashbacks instead. Although this is the one time a year Amy and Deanna? get airtime.

You are correct. KL's did call Marlena mom eventually, but it wasn't consistent. After that episode he'd still call her Marlena mostly.

I agree Brady should call Marlena "mom" and used to as a child. It changed when they SORAS'ed him with Kyle Lowder.

Some of the dialogue they give Kristen is so odd like when she was talking about all the stories she heard about John and how invincible he is/was. As if we are supposed to forget she was with John for years and lived through half of his most epic heroism. She acts like she hardly knows John. Christopher Sean and Paul are the best. The show should do anything to keep him long term. Andrew did look a little silly today, but whatever. He didn't check the 75-year-old women's zip tie handcuffs lol? Jada/Rafe's fight was kind of strange. Rafe's reaction seemed way out of proportion for the situation. Brady is a wimp but he called Marlena "mom" today. 😍 I am sure it's just EM forgetting who Brady's related to like usual, but I'll take it. Everyone was lit so blue today. It was distracting.

With JM/Stefano gone, Orpheus is probably the second best choice. It's a shame they used Orpheus over and over because until his return(s) I actually found him to be the scarier than Stefano-mostly due the ridiculous of Stefano's stories. Once JM passed away the show decided to put some of the campier aspects on to Orpheus, while his revenge and agenda plot was quite clear in the 80's. Given Drake's health and the time the show had to do this with who was available I think they are doing okay.

I think killing John off with cancer would be tacky for obvious reasons. Plus, Drake wasn't actually there actually play out the final story. Killing him off in a car accident (again) would be anti-climatic. Despite the overuse of Orpheus I think John will go out dying but saving the world-and that's very a fitting end for our hero. I haven't really looked at spoilers. I just think even if John died today that he had figured out Orpheus's plan and will help Steve, Marlena, Paul, Andrew, etc stop Orpheus once and for all. I personally would rather John got out as a larger-than-life hero than with an illness or random accident.

Lol! I really hope Kate doesn't base her opinions on her kids on looks. BD never changed, but the rest have varied through the years. Except Cassie I suppose. She hardly counts though.

Oh, I guess if anyone is taking John out it should be Orpheus. Since Stefano is gone. Any episode with Paul is an A+ for me because I just adore him. He is everything Brady isn't and can carry John's legacy even if his mom is random. Phillip talking about Kate's favorite kids like he was reading this board last week.😂 Kate did say she called AUSTIN first...just saying....

Haha I certainly was not referring to you about half a brain cell. But which of those pairings do you think are viable? Lol. I like Lucky/Liz. When Lucky confronted her about her affair with Nik "Rutting like farm animals" lives rent free in my head. They might not be the most stable couple but they do still actually have chemistry and Liz loves a toxic guy. I would also not call you crazy for objecting to the things Lucky said because they were gross.

I meant KRAZE, my apologies lol. Jason, Carly and Sonny have no decent love interests right now and it's odd for all of them to be at this point at the same time. Obviously anyone with half a brain cell knows Jason/Carly, Jason/Sasha, Carly/Brennan, or Sonny/Natalia are viable. It's been a long time since I have seen the 3 "leads" with very B stories even if they get a lot of airtime.

No one does here. I guess just some people like more "obscure" pairings as if the only other option is Jason/Carly, but not Lucky and Liz. I guess Blaze has left the building and Donna only cares about Jason/Carly now..

Joss's scenes at the WSB were more exciting yesterday. I haven't watched today's show and will probably not get the rest in this week, but I was just going to assume Sarah Joy Brown took over the role and the pairing was fairly viable.😂

There's been an uptick so possibly three.😂

Okay, does everyone use the world parlance here? lol It's also JARLY to you! Jason/Carly!! No E!! Get it right! All the Jarly fans might come at you 😂

There's been an uptick of Jarly fans on this thread? I must have missed it. They have the same conversation every single day about Brennan. It's truly riveting stuff.
