Well that was a letdown.  lol. But seriously, that's the second time that the writers (since they started) ended an episode on a good dramatic note, and then the next episode does not immediately pick up from there. It makes me think of when Mal Young was on Y&R with his 'one episode = one day' thing. 

Oh so this is the Dex story people keep talking about! I admit that I was meh on playing every beat of him joining the police. I don't even think it's that bad though I don't care about him. But it never occurred to me that the police officers might not like him due to his association with Sonny. I like the 'actions has consequences' of it all so I might not mind that story at all. 

OOooooo Blaze's style is rubbing on on Kristina. How cute!!! I did like the bachelorette party for the most part. But of course it gave us fun Lois and Tracy moments. And of course it also gave us that lovely Joss v Kristina moment. I am so happy that continues to grow legs.

I was actually sadden to see the end of Ava and Nina. When I came back to regularly viewing GH, I was in shock to see them as friends since I was watching when MS arrived as Nina. I knew their vicious history. And now....they were FRIENDS??? But clips later and watching MW and CW with each other...I liked it. Even though yes, it was totally implausible. That said...those were some good scenes.  

So happy to see Ned. I was literally wondering when the last time we saw him was before he popped up at Chase's bachelor party. And oh, look, Spinelli!!

I totally can see Lois at Deception and having that knowledge. Them NY gals...lol.

There doesnt need to be cuts persay if the writers can find something for those characters to do and weave them in. 

Which is what they appear to be doing. Or...setting up their exits.

yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Sonny did what now? Well, I'm here for the shade...that's for sure.

I also see that people online are bringing up times Kristina have brought up Sonny's lifestyle so at least I don't feel odd when she plays different when it comes to that.

I am hoping all the Marvel easter eggs lead to more animated series. 

I wouldn't be against that at all.

Woooow. I guess I stand corrected.

I've been saying that since the PM and EK came on, it does feel clear they are heading in a certain direction. Probably even going by 'the Rules.' And probably have something in mind as the audience have been watching. That said...outside of Jason's return and the drama with Sonny and the meds...there's no big story. A lot of good ones. Only building. 

But as I played catch-up with last week and reading here and there on the thread, it occurred to me that a picture had started to form from the puzzle pieces of the writing. Thus, the wow. 

There was Anna putting Sonny on notice. There was Laura putting Sonny on notice. The Pikeman head reveal as well as the Sonny's med reveal. There's Dex trying to join the police where Anna is head. There's BLQ planning her wedding and her mother's close friendship with Sonny. There's Ava's getting a clue about the meds. It also seem unimportant but interesting. And then Anna and Laura had their talk about taking a hard line with Sonny and Laura referencing Sonny beating Cyrus and...

OH. Yeah, Cyrus chose not to charge Sonny. At the time. But look at Laura being crafty and getting Cyrus to change his mind. And look at the writers coming back around to the plot thread of Dex confessing about almost killing Cyrus to Anna. And Laura and Anna comparing notes now that they are anti-Sonny. Once Anna brought Molly to her office to be the person who spearheads it over Robert, knowing that Sonny would not dare to anything to his daughter's sister...or one of his babymamas...and I have to admit I was in awe. Where the writers really doing it? Were they about to have Sonny have a BIGGER fall than just a 'Sonny off his meds' story?

And what perfect time for a climax than a WEDDING? A wedding that Lois just spent a whole episode convincing Sonny to go to. Meanwhile, Ava just found out Sonny's med have been messed with, too??? Oh my Goodness!!! I just thought the only drama at Chase/BLQ's wedding might just be Gregory dying...but the Fall of Corinthos potentially?? I would say watching all those pieces coming together last week...if it happens there...I would say well played. Because Laura and Anna have been quite stealth about it and getting their pieces in line with Cyrus, Dex, Molly, proving to me that the writers are not going to dumb them down to make Sonny seem to Hero...GOOD. 

On a whole other note...LOVE Nina getting her lickback on Drew. The scene where she revealed that she sold the Metro Court back to Jason who we all know he would give to Carly, knowing Jason is Drew's weak spot...was delicious.  It was written all over CM's face...always second best to Jason. Moreso because Jason could do what he could not...convince Carly to take it. Ooooo burn! Drew had that coming, though. But their chemistry was good. I was cheering Nina on.

They did sign a name actor to play the psychiatrist. I hope to God they don't force him to have a French accent.

See? That I knew about. But I figured that was someone based in Genoa City or the U. S. because it seem clear from how ED has played the character every time France and therapy was brought up, that the person in France she saw after Traci left didn't exist. 

Yeah, I see Drew/Nina continuing a crafty cat and mouse we 'hate' each other game.

A soap tale as old as time.

I've been on the west coast but it has been a while. I need to head that way again. So I can meet some men and go bed hopping...I mean bed shopping!

smh lol.

And then Traci mentions a psychiatist from frickin FRANCE. Maybe we'll get a greenscreen with the Eiffel Tower in the background.

Lol. Don't tell me they still don't know Ashley lied about that French psychiatist.

Traci is the heart and conscience of the Abbott family.

Which is probably why that week I mentioned above resonated...especially when the writers brought Traci and Ashley's history into the intervention. I was not expecting that, and BM sold that.

I'm sure you'll find your type.

 

Thank you.

I'm sure they are waiting on the other side of Mercury Retrograde.

It also helps me and my BFF are hitting up Happy Hour this weekend for some much needed fun...and dancing.  

PREACH!!!

that role is now being filled by Ashley. It doesn’t say much of his writing abilities though.

I agree. The best thing about the whole Ashley storyline has been how it's a masterpiece for how excellent Eileen Davidson is as an actress rather than that it's written well. Though I will give credit where credit is due...the week Apr 6-12...was great writing. The Ashley story (I will even include 4-4 for the coda) was the A story and it had movement every day that week (but Apr 12 when it took backburner status and even then it was referenced thruout the episode). And each day ended on a cliffhanger. I thought that week was well done and the acting from ED, JB, TSJ, and especially BM was flawless.

Beth deserves better than that. And I wish she would ditch the old lady hair do!

But I like her hair! But she's been a ball of fire during this Ashley storyline with it.

I do wish they would give Beth more to do though. I would hate to see her vanish again once this story is over. She seems more a heart to the story than Jack is.

Haha!

Good for you!

But finding a gay guy with charm is hard to find.

I have charm!!!

I just attract everything BUT my actual type. lol. *shrugs* Oh, well...more time for me learning and growing I guess.

Honestly if Valentin never appeared again I wouldn't even notice lol.  I completely forget about him and then he shows up and I wonder why he still is on this show.

I am not complaining but it is a bit weird they built so much up with Charlotte and she just......disappeared.  

Hopefully Lulu comes out of that coma soon.

Yeah, with it seeming like he and Anna are never ever getting back together hehe (c) Tay Swift, and nothing Cassandine really on the horizon or needed and sitting here catching up as I work out, a case could be made for he's being written out as I type. But I honestly feel like a lot of the cast are dead man/woman walking right now and what we are watching on screen is PM/EK setting up for their exits and making them count rather than just coming in and people being written out abruptly. I can respect that. Honestly...who would miss him besides Alexis, Nina, and Laura? That's how not connected to the canvas Val kinda is.

And of course, that does leave an opening in for PM/EK to bring back someone who would be connected to the canvas...Laura's daughter (and dare I hope her son as well). She has a son, a daughter who was just getting story before the writing change, and an ex that still loves her and has a more organic relationship with a new woman who has connections to the canvas. I mean...it writes itself.

Lulu...just needs to...wake up.

3 minutes ago, Althea Davis said:

I'm already taken. 

In a couple of years, maybe there will be an opening. Just kidding.

lmao!!!

So do they be. Usually. Or have some backstory. Allegedly.  

No worries. 

5 minutes ago, carolineg said:

I feel like after this whole Pikeman arc is over that Valentin might go.  He's just not very connected to the canvas, Charlotte is off somewhere, he has no love interest or family, and he rarely appears.

I feel that's what is going to happen as well to Val.

And Charlotte...who was already getting a teen love interest...can go and stay with her mama Lulu.

When is she coming out of the coma again?

25 minutes ago, carolineg said:

It's better than her and Valentin, which is where I thought this was going to lead back to.

Same.

I hope it works out then lol 

I would hate for them to do to CM, what they did to Billy Miller

You say as Jason 'appears' to be getting the Drew 'keep away from Sonny' edit that Billy's Drew got. lol.

But seriously, everyone here have put out good ideas on where Drew can go. So I guess we will see.

AND???

4 minutes ago, AbcNbc247 said:

Btw, anybody hear a reason yet as to why there’s so much chem testing going on with Drew? 

Probably the writers trying to find a way to keep Drew now that the person whom place he was in has come back.

Quite a lot actually...lol.

You might not be up to it yet but the other day Billy gave this look like "why is HE here" when Adam was at the appointment with his own son's therapist!!!

I know he didn't!!!!

I'm not, but I have mostly been avoiding that story. I only noticed what I watched in the 4-18 episode with them because I didn't do my normal FF.   I WILL be watching for that now though. 

4-17

I had hoped before the writing change that seeing Anna/Sonny getting closer and Valentin/Nina growing close again for a quartet. But now that we are going to get some REAL meat in the front of Laura/Anna vs Sonny and it seems they won't sacrifice the ladies' intelligence, I do love seeing the beat of Anna talking about the closeness she had with Sonny over the last few years. It's nice to see those beats observed as we move forward to something new. 

Let the games begin.

Every loss Carly has suffered the last few years except the loss of her mother has mostly been her fault.  Even when Carly is "down and out" there are a line of people willing to help her out.  If I am at the point where I am defending Nina, of all people, you know the writing is slanted.
