Taoboi

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.

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

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.

lmao!!! So do they be. Usually. Or have some backstory. Allegedly. No worries.

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? Same.

Well find me a man with a sense of follow-thru and charm...

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???

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. THE BLACK HAMPTONS SEASON 2 ALL THE QUEEN'S MEN SEASON 1 NANCY DREW SEASON 1 SUPERGIRL SEASON 4 BEING HUMAN SEASON 2 (finally able to finish it now that it showed up on the CW app; AT LAST)!!! HALO SEASON 1

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. + 1

4-18 Just ugh!!! What is Danny and Christine still doing in town? The more the writers stall on them going on their trip...the more the Giggly Heffa is going to mess it up. Speaking of her, I giggled at her not knowing NONE of the Newmans' business with Claire and Jordan. And really giggled at Nate checking her about being nosy about C-W business. I...am liking Scorned Lily. Even if it blows up in her face, I admit that she's giving people the business. Because I too was tired of (even if he's right) Billy making it all about himself. I was happy to see an Ashley sighting this week because this week is not feeling at all as great as last week's 'masterpiece.' I guess it says something when one A story is better than the 'other' A story. Because the Harrison drama has been just as good, but perhaps it's the last of beat hitting for me or more off-screen happenings. OMG yes! I couldn't care less for Adam, but even I was Team Adam when he basically told Billy to GTFO when he and Chelesa was about to talk to the doctor about Connor. And I don't even like the Connor story, but that story too feels like 'must give Billy something to do'

Well, JG definitely loves to give all the stories Sharon SHOULD be having to HIS heroine Chelesa.

lol. And I trust her ability to get MB to play that particular beat, too. God, yes. Before Sonny was found, they used to have such great scenes. CW and LW have great adversary chemistry dating all the way back to their GL days. So I was sooooo looking forward to it. And even when Carly stayed losing things to Nina after Sonny returned, the writing was STILL not on Nina's side. And given it's been mentioned in these threads about BTS writer stuff...that makes sense to me now why it was so slanted. Like you, Carly does know Jason and Sonny so well...something the current writers clearly know and see thankfully. But Nina being in town as long as she has been would not just sit there and take Carly's abuse when she would have surely heard all of Carly's history. Nina would be throwing it in her face. Fingers crossed moving forward that happens. Oh, no question. If 'All One Has to Do is Nothing and Look Fabulous' was a person...that would be Brenda with her multiple ties to the canvas. Nina would sooo see Carly is a paperweight to the storm that would be Ms. Barrett and lose it, giving CW another award. That was what I thought as well. Pikeman for sure. I would have thought it was Brennan until that conversation him and Val had in the van, but I think now I'm misremembering.

He suuuure did. Hottest during the Amensiac story for me. ALSO true. lol. Not since Billy joined no. It was a clear case of 'nothing for Billy to do so let's put him in the middle of this story.' The real story is Jill vs Mamie and the repairing of the Winters rift...which Mamie already did. And Jill isn't going to make more big moves in the story then they can let it drop. Cuz Billy is just making it about himself and I rme.

4-19 Yay!!!! FLASHBACKS!!! I was wondering if they were going to do that with Deacon/Lauren. Though I admit...I am conflicted...isn't that scene from 2005/6 when Tom had Lauren/Sheila trapped? And didn't Sugar come later on because Sheila went to the surgeons at the end of that stint? She wasn't alone.

In a word...NO. But you know me well enough to know if GH was cancelled tomorrow what's on my wishlist for Sonny. And I expect him to BEG. In fact...one thing I was hoping for back then was that when Sonny/Nina got together that they would really play that Nina/Carly rivalry versus the slilted writing that came out of it leaning in Carly's direction. During and before Nixon Falls, I felt every scene that was a Carly vs Nina scene, it was even between both of them which is part of the reason I LIVED for their scenes. Another thing I was hoping for was that yes, Sonny/Nina would be together for a while. And that the one thing that could break them up...no question...IS BRENDA. Not that she would be around. But I could see Carly giving Nina the Sam-in-an-Elevator Special because it would play on Nina's insecurities and something Carly would do and use. Only for Brenda to FINALLY appear. Or at least that was what I hoped for back when we were getting frequent VM teases. I agree re: Heather's redemption. Execution is going to be key. And I have liked the fact they are playing the beats....again going back to mentioning upthread how new writers tend to just do it already, but these writers are slowly threading it into the canvas. Laura and Heather's conversation about the past. People for Heather. People AGAINST Heather...Portia's monologue coming to mind. If the cards are played right, it could be its own umbrella storyline that could actually divide the town. Again...I would love to see Heather in a more cunning villainess role because currently there is not one. I mean wasn't it made clear that we found out who did that? Though it might have been rewritten by this point. Totally down for that. Oh, yeah. Nina. Jordan. Willow. His presence around other woman NOT Carly has totally increased since the new writers started. Though it is funny given that the more Jason spreads his wings around town in places that Drew was in (and have done before), how pointless Drew is growing.

Well I am not sure about kooky cousin, but I've been saying in the 'redeeming' Heather that she could very well be pulled back toward being cunning again and not over the top. Time will tell.

But I liked Sonny/Nina!! 😜 Though they were (well Sonny was) more interesting post-Nixon Falls because the duality that MB was doing with Mike/Sonny was all over him and clear to see no matter how Sonny tried to hide it. It was fascinating to watch for sure.

I continue to love the arc and easter eggs they keep pulling from given I was collecting for years and know what they are touching on. So I gotta mmmmm OZT when I saw the picture.

Ha!!! Though his abs have been on display a looooot lately.

Wow. It really has been a loooooooooooong time hasn't it? I could see that. I feel like PM is going to 'redeem' Heather somewhat. Or least have her be cunning vs just silly cray cray.

Well as long as TSJ keeps that shirt off, it's an experience I don't mind having. 😜

I heard! And they quickly moved past it. And I saw what you did there re: Lisa leaked. I also feel you are RIGHT. I think Keiarna being out was confirmed earlier today. That saddened me because she has seen like a good new addition. I can't believe they would aggressively start again (outside of getting to the DUI mess with La Dame) after the backlash from this just-ended season. And not to mention how rare a 5 member HW cast has worked.
