On soaps I suppose the DNA connection is fine, but IRL you would just get a sperm donor who gave consent, got evaluated medically, and move on. You would never choose a donor with a long history of addiction that barely got out of rehab a few months ago unless your main goal is to have a moody, brooding child with floppy hair. Then Finn fits the bill. I don't really see any meat in the Gio reveal. Sure, there will be some fallout from Lois/Brook keeping the secret, but Gio is like the nicest guy ever. No one would be disappointed about having him as a kid and he has no living parents (adoptive) so how hurt is he going to be? Yeah, the Joss stuff is so stupid it just gives me an eyeroll and a chuckle. It's all so serious and Brennan's basis was you are young, pretty and like to talk. WTF?

No it's not very common except in Port Charles.

Finn, with his long history of addiction, should of course be the sperm donor for BLQ's baby. Idk, just adopt? The Joss stuff is so silly that I almost don't even mind it. She just gets hired and is off to an assignment with no training?

I am pretty sure Joss was going to be a doctor and then changed her major to environmental sciences or something back in the PM days when everyone was having a career existential crisis. Which is a degree that sounds snoozy even for soaps. I think we are supposed to believe at least Jax is smart so maybe Joss is, but judging by her parents decision making for the last 30 years I have a tough time buying that. James would have already solved Cyrus's murder, global warming, famine and hunger, and possibly figured out Michael is Sasha's baby daddy if given half the chance.

No, I firmly believe James is more intelligent and has more streets smarts than Joss even if he's only 10.

Even if I pretend Joss has some sort of ability to be a spy, the girl has zero chill. The minute she found out Jason was arrested she immediately cracked and acted suspicious. Pretty much everyone in the cast including Donna and James would be more believable as super spies. And, yes, @AbcNbc247 we have been hearing about this Miami trip for months. Brad is acting like he's going on a trip of a lifetime not a city in Florida. I assume we are only going to see Brad and Lucas in a hotel set so I don't understand all this hype and the Brad's working out to get in shape nonsense. Is the show making fun of Perry Shen or something?

Joss as a WSB agent is one of the stupider ideas the show has ever had. I am sure Jax and Carly's spoiled daughter will be great at saving the world.😂

None of these Setton/Swickard media articles linked about their beliefs are new.

I feel like we have the same Swickard/Setton convo a lot on the GH thread. Yes, they have certain beliefs. Good for them. No, I do not think it's appropriate if you are an actor on a soap and this may not be the right business for them. At the end of the day that's not their fault. GH is at fault for kowtowing to their "wishes" at the detriment of the coupling and show. There is no reason to make them this sexy, hot, newlywed couple when it's going to be an issue during key intimacy scenes.

Yeah, makes sense. Everyone just always calls Rafael "Rafe" including his own immediate family. I wonder if there's any special reason Javi calls him by a different nickname.

Thanks! That's what I thought, but I wasn't positive.

I know this is a dumb question but I can't ever really make out what nickname Javi is calling Rafe. It sounds like Rafa? or is he saying Rafi? Closed captioning just says "Rafe". Is that just a specific pronunciation?

I had this same thought too. I just don't know who would believe that on the show. At this point the walls are closing in on Cyrus, but no one is actually making any moves. He could realistically just skip town at this point and disappear.

I agree the ending today was good. I still don't know how Cyrus killing Elizabeth would help anything. But then I have never understood Cyrus's motivations on this to begin with.

So there are so many things wrong with this fakeRafe story, but I'll just start with two on Jada's end. 1. She was previously married to a guy with DID and doesn't suspect a thing here in regards to a medical diagnosis or even ask Kayla about the after effects of Rafe's coma. 2. She was going to marry Rafe. He never mentioned he once had an imposter.? Sure, everyone assumes he's dead, but that's a story I would tell my future spouse. So, okay Jada can't figure it out. There are multiple people in town including Rafe's own sister who are aware Rafe has a doppelganger and no one suspects a thing.

There was way too much of Anna/Jason talking about how much they value one another as friends. It's weird GH. Please stop. I agree about Dante/Lulu. I meant to add that in my post. They were definitely the best part of the show and the conversation helped walk back a lot of issues I initially had with Lulu's return.

Yeah. Between the Lucky recast, Brennen recast, and Spinelli setting Lucas up with that model or whatever this was a rough episode. The Anna and Jason scenes felt hours long and I don't like when we get "wacky, silly" Mac. Obviously, it goes without saying the show gets negative points for Chase singing.

😂 I feel bad saying this, but those Liz/Lucky scenes were so awkward. Add in our first Tobias appearance and Aiden's acting ability and I just felt for Becky. It felt like everyone in the scenes were a little lost and BH just kept trying her hardest to make it work. The pace of this reunion has been so slow. I could have waited a few more weeks for JJ to be back.

I always thought it was a very intentional choice on Kelly's part to call in "sick" or whatever after she found out she was fired. If GH/FV/TPTB really wanted to add insult to injury they just would have permanently just recast Sam with LH. Who knows though? I wonder if the Network/Frank, etc. is happy with how the Cyrus story is going? Between Sidewell/Cyrus we've lost Sam, Dex, and Michael and I am still bored.

Lol. I don't even remember that Sam/Jason story. I thought it was recent, but maybe I was just thinking of Baby Irene's funeral. You know I have a hard time ranking Sam's "important" moments though.

Didn't Lindsay Hartley play some important scenes for Sam as well?

Well, there are scenes where Kristen literally tells Brady she's going to be his new mother in 1997. I'd link them, but you know, it's impossible to do that with all the copyright strikes. I know it's no EJ SORAS'ed situation, but aging Belle/Brady too soon messed a lot of things up in the Days universe.

It doesn't look awkward physically and I do like them together, but maybe they should just have Holly graduate before anything happens. I did get a little weirded out that he was talking to a high school girl in lingerie for an extended period of time 😂

Should we not be creeped out that adult Doug3 is in love with a high school student? They are actually cute, but he's of legal drinking age at least and it's a little strange. It would get a side eye in real life for sure. I know Days has never been great with social issues, but I don't understand why race doesn't play a bigger part in the adoption. It would make more sense if Mrs. Choi wanted an Asian, Christian family to raise her grandchild and be more concerned about Johnny/Chanel being an interracial couple. I mean, let's face it, there is pretty much no way Johnny/Chanel are going to pass the religion test here. He was literally once possessed by the Devil and Chanel is sexually fluid. We know both Johnny and Chanel are good people, but The Choi's are probably going to be a little weary of a couple on their second marriage together already and the fact Chanel once dated Johnny's twin sister.

I feel like Kristina yaps about Ava killing Morgan sometimes, but I can't remember the last time Carly mentioned him. Morgan's entrance into the world is memorable to me. It brought me one of my favorite Sonny/Carly moments. When Sonny shot Carly in the head by accident while she was giving birth. I really can't remember anything adult Morgan did besides date Kiki and Ava.
