But now that you know...as excited as I am? Dare I hope for Lulu to follow by Spring? Same. That's what I said yesterday. I think we both know who my Number 1 on the wishlist. VERY happy for Number 2.

6-18 Seeing all the talk about Carly and Sam, I was actually looking forward to seeing it. I found it underwhelming though the topic: Jason was spot on. And Sam was speaking so much truth. It's that accountability that had been missing for a while, but had found its way back to GH since PM came on. It will be missed. Perhaps the scene was about bringing Carly and Sam back to being on the outs since they should have never become BFFs given their history. Again...the potential will be missed. Meanwhile, I enjoyed Alexis vs Finn from 6-17. I was not at all expecting how that scene with. Alexis went from friend to tough love to schooling him to tough love to reading his a$$. And I loved all of the dialogue coming out of her mouth. Alexis destroyed him, and NLG gave such great work. It reminded me of how Alexis used to be back in the 90s when she would be gentle, but direct, but could take off those gloves and be steel with the quickness. And then the scene with Portia and Liz. Yeah, they are getting so much traction out of this Finn storyline. I continue to be so surprised at how much I am enjoying it. So Val IS framing Anna slowly, but surely. Wow. I was expecting Anna to pull the wool over his eyes, not him over hers. I thought the dinner scene was abruptly brought in. I figured there would be more of a lead-up to that couch scene. However, there they were on the couch flirting. Just felt off. In any case, I can't wait to see what Anna will do next. After all, Anna is at her best when her back is against the wall. I roll my eyes every time Wagger tries to flex his power. Why is he even here? They could do all this with a no-name...which he basically has become.

And as excited, I lost my ^&*( Thank you and LOVE YOU for posting it upfront for all to see. Now...what else is going on? lol. Same.

Hopefully it won't be like that. I'm just sooooooo happy. As soon as PM came on, I was hoping for this. Because Laura NEEDS her kids on canvas. And I hoped for it due to how she had been positioned. And this fall...her baby is coming home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my God, I'm spazzing out right now. LOL!!! That would send me to the moon even more than Lucky finally coming home.

As much as I love him...yeeeeah I don't want that. lol. Time will tell.

I mean I'm not a fan of AI cuz...well dystopian writer/viewer of Terminator movies...but I will give credit where credit is due. And that looks good.

As one who loves the actor who has played many characters...one of who is one of my favorite villains on one of my favorite shows...THANK YOU. And as soon as I saw him have a brief moment of vulnerability with Anna...I suspected as much. Add on the fact his characters has chemistry with Carly AND Anna and his past, he's basically giving everything Valentin is supposed to be giving. So...can we swap them out then? lol. Hehe. I do agree. Which is why I mentioned a few pages back that I do like that one reporter at Alexis's job because he is strictly...and I do mean STRICTLY supporting. It made me think of soaps of old where we had those...not too much story, just pop in and pop out. No need to grow them too much. Stay a C story character at best. That said...Brennan at least has potential. I just hope that potential will lead to Valentin's final exit.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wouldn't be surprised.

IKR. You can do the same 'I have something to tell you' only to be delayed/distracted/interrupted a whole lot better (or even with an intelligent dialogue detour) than what we get from him. And it probably says something I know the writer in question and have watched from show to show to show now that now I just get irked. lol. And I'm pretty sure I used to like him which makes it worse.

I know what I said lol, but I don't mind the surprise of a random appearance of a character mid-episode. Y&R used to corner the market on doing that. In fact, there has been a few of those kind of appearances of late on there and in my GH binging right now, and it makes me glad I made it through a dull scene here or there. I do agree with your reasoning on that as well in a 'two things can be true' way of thinking but I'm a Gem. I'm allowed. hehe. Now writing-wise...lol...I have to disagree. Some of the fun of the HW name swap has been you immediately know if you are going to get an introspective/intelligent conversation or just some plot ho-how. And I admit I roll my eyes any time I see the name Lucky Gold on screen because I just can't stand his Waiting for Gadot (as if!) style of writing scenes.

lol

Awww but AI?

That's another thing! They haven't followed up on that scene at all. lol. I would think that Val would be doing everything to be sure his cover might not be blown. Oh, yeah...there's a feeling of momentum going on (and I saw this week's promo). I've been saying as I've binged that there's a feeling of hitting the 'middles' of storylines right now so I would like to think we are about to hit some climaxes of some sort. Or turns.

See? I was just asking about that yesterday. It has vanished, hasn't it?

I wouldn't mind that either. He's a fine number 3 on my List of Returnees...Number 1 being a woman and she was not on that list.

I do admit that I've been noticing the updates and except for a few I really do like them. Like Drew with his scruff. lol. That's the one thing I don't like about the opening. It gives you no idea who will be in that episode that day. And that's what I do like about Y&R.

Oh, how I side-eyed at that picture and will probably hiss when he hits screen. FV and his obsession. That said, thank you, for saying we can still dream of who the REAL returnee is. Cuz I'm holding out for Lucky so hard it's not even funny.

I also agree with the re-clarification since it was always vague to me and its reasoning. So for that thank you. The one thing I liked pre-merge was that if there was a spoiler that I did not want to read, I could simply ignore it and DID. And with the merge, why would I wander in to look for ONE spoiler that I was looking for only to find all the OTHERS that I didn't want to know about. Thus, why I said above, I DON'T open it. Besides, if it was really important, I know Errol will bring a detailed and accurate article on the main page verifying that, and I can totally wait for that info. THIS however got a reaction out of me because...well...do I have to explain since my opinion on that GH casting is on quite a few posts?

I don't even come over here anymore really since the 'merge' because I don't want to find out anything unless I have no choice which merging the threads basically has done for me. But since that news popped up in my email I wanted to be sure. One day? Really? And who needed that? And all that hype from FV? Clearly an ATM appearance aka

Traci is always gold.

6-18 Wait! Is that why Victor is helping Audra? I'll give credit where credit is due. Watching the Jack vs Tucker scene where Tucker accuses him of being Audra's secret backer. And Jack laughed in his face and asked him why he would even think Jack when he has the most successful cosmetics company in the world. And it hit me...Victor is playing the long game. It made me think of the old days for a second. So if Audra gets the company, Victor is totally aiming it at Jabot. Meanwhile, Victor has Cole on Kyle and Michael on Diane. God, he's chess playing. Go 'head, Mr. Newman. That said...I've enjoyed seeing TSJ being checked in the last two days and playing the cunning man that Tucker is supposed to be. I was picking on this fake heart problem moment only for it to be just that...FAKE. Good job. And Audra is giving Tucker a run for his money, too. So it has been interesting to watch. On the flipside, I love the Traci/Tucker scene as well. But that again goes back to TSJ being checked in. Hmmmm at Jack and Traci trying to theorize what would have caused Ashley to have alters in childhood. I side-eyed when Jack pondered if Ashley might have known that Brent was not her father even back then. Uhhhh...NO. ON THE OTHER HAND, they put out the idea that Dina was around with a parade of men growing up...and I'm not sure if that is any better. But at least if they are going there for the DID, that tracks. Don't like the Connor story, but liked the moment between Adam and Victor.

In a word...Brendabots.

Yes, given the writing looked like those characters were heading for their ends. With PM out, I can see FV trying to keep them. The only one out of those 3 that I would keep is Ava. And that's cuz of Maura's talent. And yay for updates!!!

6-14 OOOooooo. But first, can I just say that I've been enjoying this Alexis renaissance. I've mentioned that I loved that PM started the ball rolling for Alexis to get her lawyer license back. He played beats. He added twists. So I've enjoyed all of it now that PM is out the door. But Alexis has also been popping up in other stories. Kristina, Molly, and the surrogacy of course. But seeing her being supporting in the Finn storyline also has been good. And her attachment to the Heather storyline has also been full of win. So not in a story bubble or seen once every couple of months. I liked her checking Kristina because the last thing Alexis needs is Sophie's choice. And after being absent the last day or so, the Finn storyline is back. I don't mind that they are playing the beat of What About Violet. That said...I wish they would keep Liz away from him. But Liz wouldn't be Liz if she didn't go check on him. Meanwhile, I liked her scene with Chase touching base...an organically done way of getting viewers caught up to date and didn't just feel like plot points. And I loved Chase's scene with Alexis doing the same (cuz I was shocked that Chase didn't know about the slip at the wedding) while advancing the plot. Hehe. Drew/Nina would soooo make such a good scheme team. Meanwhile, that ooooo at the top? I was talking about Gio and Trina. I was waiting for more for them. And Gio, the violin, and Trina reacting to him playing it and him...YES. More, please. It was interesting to see since the episode before was Curtis and Heather, and Curtis was talking about how Trina lost her spark. And in watching Trina run her fingers over the violin and the look on her face...her spark was back. Well-played and good writing. Amen. Oooo nice. But they are both in a more interesting place now, and it's been fascinating to watch.
