Totally, exactly my sentiments.

Look, I just don’t see GH playing any aftermath here or what the long term value is for either Brook Lynn or Dante as characters. Brook Lynn and Dante have a child, who is technically an adult now - does that change anything about their relationship or create future storylines for them? I don’t see it and it would be pretty ridiculous to do a learning to co-parent storyline for an adult child. The writers wanted an insta-child and they got one, so now what? I’d also be pleasantly surprised if they do play out any long term ramifications from Gio’s perspective as well.

All I need is a top hat and it would remind me of the female Penguin in the Batman Caped Crusader animated series, or just Penguin in general.

She looks like a demented Muppet.

I really need a new day in Port Charles to never see Brook Lynn in that hideous clown-ass outfit again.

They got a few decent episodes out of it, but I don’t see the long term goal or story potential here. Lois will likely go back on the back burner pretty soon, Gio is technically an adult, and who cares about Dante and Book Lynn having a child together in the long run? After the initial shock wears off, there’s no story left as it’s not like Dante and Brook Lynn are in love with each other but torn apart by circumstance, or their insta-child is reliant on them in any real capacity. It all feels very shortsighted.

Dani is disgusting and continues to break the law by breaking into Haley and Bill’s house. She’s the aggressor constantly playing the victim.

The fake-outs are poorly produced, IMO.

Sorry, but I think Brandon Claybon is especially awful today.

Grandma Samantha and her Tide and laundry basket!

Can Ashley and Derek go play in traffic please? Is MVJ being forced to write for these wack ass characters and actors? Literally nothing is working here and it’s been that way since the first episode.

Love that Chelsea can roll her eyes at Dani and her delusions. 😆

Are your sources holding firm on the JFP scoop, @mikelyons? Any reason why the trades have not gotten a hold of this yet? They were quick to report when Ed Scott came back late last year. Do you know what capacity she’d be coming back in? EP? Consultant?

Yes, Peacock (and Paramount+ tbh) is a struggling platform in the grand scheme of streaming. In Nielsen's Streaming Overall and Original charts (which is always published on a month's delay), they don't register a single show in the top 10 of either chart. Netflix still dominates this space, but the other steamers have made some inroads and have been able to crack the top 10 more regularly.

I'm going to be so sad when she's written out or leaves. I know characters like this have an expiration date or just come and go often, but I really think she's been an incredible asset to this freshly launched soap. You would think she's been doing soaps for decades, she's a real pro.

Saw this posted on IG a few days ago:

With shows like Y&R and GH, it doesn’t matter who is in charge anymore. They just want to produce something quickly and cheap.

He’s probably just happy to be back “home” and working on the show he’s most attached to while not dealing with the stress of being EP again.

The bright side is JFP forced Josh Griffith out the last time they worked together, but that is no guarantee we’d get a halfway decent HW. And who knows what the power structure is like if she’s back?

I’d like to see Ashley paired with a fatal gunshot.

Mikey’s had a good track record with this stuff in the past. @Errol - possible to get confirmation from your sources?

Rory is a good looking guy, but definitely boring and lacking in any screen presence. Not that CD set the world on fire either, but they definitely could have done better than this.

+1

She’s such a caricature - which is a shame because I think the actress is capable of so much more. I don’t know why Cady often feels like she has overcompensated in her performances. She already proved she can play much more than just Dixie Cooley during her first stint at ATWT (her best acting era). Her performances in various roles since then have been quite strange at times.
