Hate to disagree, but I actually LIKED her stuff around the 50th anniversary with Starvos (and rewind the cliffhanger of his appearance at the tail end of that one episode a few times). Because like you said, how can you NOT react to seeing the undead rapist husband you used to have? Didn't bug me at all. Now as for her Rick Webber exit...well...good or bad, Genie can be fascinating to watch. BUT I admit that I liked a lot of what she did on Y&R, hammy or not. If anything let her down, it was the writing and the timing (MAB trying to push out the older female vets).

How I feel about Russians outside of my ex. lol. Makes me feel naughty AF. Yes, Daddy. MMMMMMMm Yes, him and Darin Brooks have been for the last few years. And it shows on both. I remember SOD did a group interview with them over that and I was just shocked at how toned, firm, and hot they both looked. Jealous of their workout routine.

And sadly we already know how things ended with her mother.

Not for the both of us. I... But yes, that's how I've been feeling. Outside of the Jen arrest fallout, what else is there? Utah Lydia might have funny antics, but that will only get you so far. Now if she was back to how she was as Fabulous Ice perhaps, but now that's bad comedic. And I'm still not sure how I feel about what little casting news during filming Season 3 I've seen. Nice they went for diversity, but I would hate to see a repeat of gang-up again because someone's backwards thinking is showing. Yes, I'm here for Little Girl to get a doze of her own medicine. I hope it goes down hard. Meanwhile...reunion details...again funny given how much Mary gets mentioned and Part 2 totally sounds like filler.

And just walked in...so speak of the devil. I LOVE the set design. ETA: Oooooo, that was GOOD. Leave it to Jen Shah to give us a show. And uh oh, Coach Shah in the hot seat. I might not be Team Shah in RL, but Team Shah for her getting those girls together and see!!! You were right, Cat!!! Lint already setting up for Season 3 as Betrayed Friend. And Utah Lydia getting her just dessert is delicious with everyone actually ganging up on her. And...Meredith vs the Racist. I'm down.

SLC What they thought was going to be a gang-up on Mary turned into Mary gathering heffas. And not only was I here for that...but the cherry on top was Little Girl thinking she was going to gather Mary for being rude for a Woman of God to have the script flipped on her when Mary said she was one to judge when she hangs upside down from a stripper pole. Little Girl had a reply...small that it was. But...Cue Little Girl's confessional!!! Oooo you mad? Meanwhile I... Overall, this next part of the trip was good. If there was one thing that I disliked it was the fact that Bad Weather took a nice 'everyone was getting along leading to interesting combo ex. Jen/Little Girl, Utah Lydia/Lint, Meredith/Jeannine without Lydia and made it into an unnecessary mess and gang-up. Say what you want about Mary...but you will always know where you stand with her...whether she is nice to you in the moment or not. And definitely not fake. I really can't say the same for this group. And while I've enjoyed this, I am really considering if I will drop after the reunion. I laughed outloud a few times. But that was due to Mary reading and gathering and Jen being surprisingly entertained and/or messy a few times as well...pot stirring in a way that Bad Weather wish they could do tbh. JEN. Awwww she had a Cinco de Mayo party. Outside of that, I liked that she was subtly pot stirring. One minute she would walk away and say nothing. The next minute she would be reminding everyone Jeannie said this. Or she would be reminding everyone Mary had her back which made Budget Coven heated. And then she would get Mary to speak up knowing it would be a mess. So...good job. lol. Again she would mention the court case coming, but still would manage to deflect. UTAH LYDIA. Yeah, I don't know if that hot mic moment was staged, but that doesn't sound like a friend of 10 years. If that is one, I guess they aren't really friends. And I lived for Mary not dealing with her mess. LINT. Looking for a moment with Mary and not getting one is almost as regular as her cousin Little Girl. LITTLE GIRL. Oops. Looks like someone has fallen into the habit of saying shady stuff in Confessional that they don't have the balls to say to the person in question. I enjoyed every moment of Mary reading her. And then she was still starting mess with Meredith over her father. JEANNIE. I don't see what was so hard to understand that Mary did not want to talk about her life to someone she is still getting to know. Some people are like that. Now, of course, that might also have to do with the fact Mary does not trust her. As we know now, for GOOD reason. I enjoyed Mary and Jen dragging her. MARY. I agree. She can do what she want. And I stayed enjoying her friendship with Meredith. And how did they think she would react to them trying a gang up AGAIN??? Are we in BH with the same attempt? MEREDITH. Yeah, I would be triggered too if someone kept bringing up my dead father. The fact that is just common sense and Little Girl does not get it, means Meredith is a better person than me because I would have had to either leave the table or slap the taste out of her mouth. This week, I thought Meredith handled herself well. She was a great meditator between Mary and the girls so they could not just gang up on her. It was only sad that Utah Lydia had to get in her feelings. But alas... But good episode.

Which simply proves that while times have changed, some things remain the same. Again, like you that's why I said above that I do hope that going onto a streaming service will allow more people to hopefully discover it and hopefully save it. It wouldn't be the first show that moved to streaming and found a wider audience so again...hopeful.

While times have definitely changed, it on average takes shows at least two or three seasons to find an audience. And thinking someone will find a show with or without good advertising definitely will take more than two or three episodes. Definitely one. Which was my point. Using this show for example...I saw an ad for it cuz I watch soaps on my system. And completely forgot about it until we started talking about it regularly here. Hey, it happens. I can only imagine how other casual viewers might feel. Especially now with so many streaming channels now.

2-8 I'll say this much. It was hilarious the looks Finola Hughes was giving as Maxie was revealing all the people who knew about the baby switch and/or baby secret. IKR!!! And aaaawwww at the Ned/Brooklyn scenes. I am now starting to wonder about the consequences of the reveal. The fallout. Where does Brooklyn go from here? She took care of a baby for almost a year and have no baby. Will there be grief over it? Backsliding? Will Austin let up now? Will she have a breakdown? And I really need Peter to die. Who attacks a little girl? Good job on the recast...the girls look similar enough it does not appear abrupt. Awww flashbacks. That was a good Carly/Sonny fight. And it was soooo true. I do wonder how Carly cannot see he is off his meds though. That was my only problem. And of course, what happens when she finds out. What will she do? I live for Mac/Scorpio scenes.

Same. I can't begin to tell you how many men I don't even notice. Then they get that scruff and...WOOF. The trio of Chase, Drew, and Shawn with his goatee come to mind on GH.

HAHAHA WOW. ESPECIALLY that first picture. I would love to have a body like that.

Sad, but true. I can only hope that perhaps this is the show that being on streaming will reach more people and thus get more people to watch and that saves it.

*side-eye* Now with that out of the way, that is actually my worry about this. On one hand, it's great to have Monique back and I would like to see how this goes. However, I do worry (and I already see it in comments under the various threads) that haters will be watching waiting to nitpick and prove that she was what her ex-co-workers claim she was.

2-12/13 That was a well done fight. I had to watch it twice. But yeah Deacon beat that A. Though it took me until the next episode to see he was letting Ridge beat him up to play victim to Brooke. I had thought it was the fact it was Brooke's voice that he was distracted. Steffy was being a uber bitca. But I liked Hope called her out. I guess this is what you all were talking about when it gets to be just one story, but I admit that I'm enjoying the fallout and it's been pleasantly paced thus far. Agree.

2-4 Oh, I loved how that came together. I thought things were building, but it felt uneven...which I guess I could blame on the start of (for now) C stories in Willow's parentage, Alexis's new direction, Peter's comeuppance du jour. But somewhere on the way to Peter's being locked up, everything came together. I cannot believe it's just the start of the month and stories are either taking their next turns or climaxing. And what stood out was...we got money couples again!!! Oh, yes, Spencer/Trina, Chase/Brooklyn. I was eating up all their scenes watching. From the moment Spencer walked into the gallery to see Trina, NC had a specific tender inflection in his voice and I was right there along with Trina as Spencer was laying his heart out. And of course they were going to kiss so someone interrupted. Loved Ava messed with Esme btw. And then you have Chase and Brooklyn with so much tension between them that I really was yelling KISS ALREADY!!! Definitely like they talked about what Chase said to Dante that started their latest rift. And right when they would kiss...Peter has escaped...and with Louise in toll. AS did such a great job with her mama grief as the Friday cliffhanger. Another icing on the cake for me was the drama with Carly/Sonny/Nina. Not because I didn't already know what was coming. But how it came about. In a way, it's Kristina's fault it went down at all. If she had just left it along rather than taking a page from B&B Steffy and got in her father's business (Off topic...I like that Kristina's appearance have increased as of late as she is getting into the middle of her dad's drama and stuff with Alexis). Dr. O playing matchmaker did not help either. And nice foreshadowing by Britt with Drew on that. That said...no to Carly/Drew. I am just not feeling them together at all. But I have liked him with Sam, Britt, Liz...the list goes on. They are really holding on and building the suspence on where Valentin is. I liked that. As well as the beat that people are slowly finding out about Louise/Bailey and the switch. Like Austin finding putting the pieces together and him and Maxie having to talk about their relationship. Ugh at Peter escaping. Though the scenes were good. Poor Mac. Speaking of, vets, vets, vets everywhere. Laura vs Victor (while being dismissive of Esme) will never get old. That said...is Tracy gone? Cuz it just felt abrupt.

Ooooo now THAT is a juicy spoiler if true.

I really want to see the latter.

2-11 'I wasn't sneaking. I just walk softly.' Hahahahaha!!! Oh, Sheila. Someone clearly was having a ball with the dialogue. Every word/quip out of Sheila's mouth. Brooke telling Ridge the truth when he already knew. KA getting ready to show angry Taylor. And then that punch. Friday cliffhanger material indeed. I rolled my eyes at Steffy and Thomas, but their scenes were well acted (and Thomas's imitation of Brooke was a hoot), but ugh.

New? More like recycled. For GOOD recycling, they should do an edited version of the opening for the 50th anniversary episodes. That at least IMHO opinion had potential and touched on the best opening/eras for sure.

Shhhe's BAAAACK!!!!! Meanwhile...the new trailer promo for the flagship...

Aren't we all?

OMG YES!!!! It was annoying AF. I loathe that writing.

Ah! Yeah, I remember that now! Yes. Bad look.

Well, I agree on Chandler. When the beard was new, it was not bad. Now...I wouldn't mind him going back to being clean shaven.
