Sami did mention Austin and Carrie forgave her so I think they are on decent terms. I do agree that Carrie is sorely missed here. Honestly, I would love to hear from Austin as well on this. Every time Belle/Sami snipe at one another I wish it was Carrie/Sami arguing. Sami/Belle have never felt like peers or rivals to me even if the actresses are close in age. Christie is

I am here for Willow the villain, but Carly was absolutely right. Even if she's flawed herself. I at least like Carly. And like, literally, your boyfriend slept with Carly so that's gross and weird already. Oh Wait! Her mom did too! I can't wait for the fallout on this lol.

Carly has about 30 years of wrongs. She's not great. But she wiped the floor with Willow and doofus Drew.

It's always been a weird push for Sami to hate John after all these years and it flip flopped back and forth. She named her son after John. I get it's traumatizing to see your mother and faux dad bang on a conference table. But John never wronged Sami on purpose and truly loves her mother. I know John and Sami have rehashed things forever, but it still makes me sad there wasn't a conclusion on the whole thing.

I'd be perfectly fine with 100% of her scenes happening off screen lol. I don't what the goal was with this Sonny/Eva La Rue thing, but it's obviously not panning out.

Lol! He's more affectionate with the barware he throws. Natalia and Sonny were just two people that were friendly and now they aren't. It's not that serious. Sonny/Brenda's wire scene was a break up. Natalia and Sonny's conversation was not lol.

Sonny and Natalia didn't break up. They weren't a couple in any capacity. Sonny's more affectionate with Jason.

Great episode! I really hope Ali gets scenes with Deidre because this entire Sami self-realization would be nice to share with her mother. It's also sad to me that Sami never got full closure with John.

Natalia could be a Dance Mom on Lifetime. That's the vibe she's giving me. MUSIC is everything!!! And the poor child is like "no, I just want to go to college and be normal". Stop projecting. Lol

Lol! The whole situation is ridiculous. Are we supposed to side with Natalia because her son chose a stable career? I mean, he can go play acoustic guitar at Curtis's club or something if he has that creative itch. The shame of that law degree!!!! Natalia, the homophobic lady who married and procreated with a super villain is one to talk lol.

I don't think Eva is hard up for money and needs this job. She's worked steadily for years. I am really curious how this character was pitched to her and why she thought this was a good role.

You would think Mo would be more into a big name soap star like LaRue as a pairing, but he's entirely checked out. Maybe he's praying for a Vanessa return like I am everyday. No kiss. No nothing. It doesn't even really feel like a romance is brewing. Just that they like one another on a friendship level. He has more heat with Rena (not at all asking for that pairing, just saying).

Fine with me. She's done nothing. If they are trying to pair her with Sonny it's moving at a glacial pace. She literally has no reason to be in PC except to make Sidwell a thing? Whatever, I don't need 2025 Cyrus either.

I can't believe it either. Instead of trying to soften the character Natalia just became worse. She's mad her son became a lawyer? When my sister passed the bar my family had like 4 different parties lol. Obviously, the underlying issue is that he is gay. It is sort of hilarious that both Natalia's children are gay. It's what that homophobic beyotch deserves lol

Julie always felt more worldly and sophisticated to me. Holly seems like a dumb teenage girl, which is fair. Julie made immature and stupid decisions, but I always thought a man her own age wouldn't be the right fit for her if that makes sense? Looking back the age disparity is probably a bit much, but it didn't show on screen. I don't think the show was trying to hide the age difference. He was bff with her uncle and married her mom. I just never really thought about it mostly because they were married IRL so it just made sense.

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.

GH: April 2025 Discussion Thread
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.
