Vee

It's time to see a) Banneker and b) more of Pam and Dani's new business, as well as a proper business story for ChelseaKat. But Chelsea getting deeper into drugs wouldn't be bad either. The obvious (and best) route next is for Eva to get involved in a business venture that runs counter to ChelseaKat. But if it was modeling I don't think Dani would ever do that to Kat, at least not at this juncture. They bonded over the Eva issue very recently.

A bit of spec. They've already said in advance interviews with JV that Grayson is SPOILER driven to caring for his sick mother and will go to any lengths. This will set him up as a clear red herring for the Impaler, suggesting he is funding her care with the plasma trade. I am hoping Grayson is either innocent or some sort of reluctant accomplice. Both he and Rollins will be clear suspects (Kial is a traveling orthopedic surgeon and nomad) but I still suspect it's 100% Carlton.

I know his two leading ladies had their issues with him, but I never had a problem with Robinson as Rick onscreen. I think he gave exactly what the role asked for. I can see how others might find him stiff. It was a mistake putting him with Judith Chapman, lol.

I'm pretty sure he's still dead but I suspect Nathan is some form of evil dupe, whether it's Nathan or not.

Not by those means!

I'll give Sasha Calle this, she's pretty good in The Rip. She's had a rough go of it since her 'big break' in the doomed Flash movie, which served no one well. She's really transformed since Y&R.

I would straight-up shoot her in the head.

What in the hell?

Jacob going undercover doesn't bother me. You have soap cops who have done that bit many times over the decades despite multiple public splashouts. Unless they're Luke Spencer, former Mayor of Port Charles who saved the world, it's not that serious IMO. I find Hayley and Randy constantly meeting in public places to discuss their murder plans far more silly.

These DAYS shooting schedule jokes never get old lol.

I don't think WR is untalented. But his worst performing instincts and choices were consistently at play in this role, and the character also deeply sucked. In a better time, playing a cocky doctor, he could easily still be there today and be a success.

Yes. I understand why Peter appeared, but I'm good with this being one and done lol.

Okay, let's stop wasting pages on 'would you like this image? how about this?' No, we don't want them. Just a creative note, cheers.

None of that is relevant to the fact that here and now Britt is unbearable to watch, and doesn't have a fraction of the past relationship with Jason (or Carly) that she keeps acting like she does.

I think Frank is far more likely to drop her when something better (or another daytime star, or both) comes along for Jason. After a mostly dreadful first year back, Jason's role on the show has been somewhat invigorated since Sam's death by his new involvement with the Quartermaines. Sonny and Carly are frankly less and less a part of his life. If they find better adventure stories for him than the current Britt/cold fusion mess (and a better occupation for him) he could continue to recoup. There are better romantic options for him to bring in, be it someone old like Keesha Ward or entirely new characters. (I have no interest in revisiting him and Elizabeth at this point) I've said this before but Joss is increasingly circling the C-tier of characters again after another attempt at a hard push last year. Just as in 2023-24, it faltered and she vanished for a long while. That doesn't feel like coincidence. Maxie's return can't save Nathan because Nathan has never been a viable character with any personality beyond 'we finally cast the hunk we wanted for Kirsten Storms after 10 years of trying'. I don't think RP will be here forever anyway, but I have never been remotely interested in them as a couple. Nor am I some Spixie loyalist but they really recovered well in 2024, and it's shameful to see Spinelli almost totally forgotten by the show at present. He raised her children, with and without her over the years - not unlike Mac. I'd much rather see them recommitted to each other with a proper wedding, for awhile (and later you can break them up and put Maxie with any number of people).

She really does. I'd be here for it. But that would just radicalize people further who will root for literally anyone who doesn't like Carly. I have been at my fill with the current state of Carly for years but even I need a better class of hater.

I don't think Willow is going to go on a killing spree too soon. If she was going to kill Drew she could've done it. As @titan1978 and I have both said, that locks out her story future too quickly and she could run for several more years. Would I hate it? No, it'd be entertaining but it would be a huge waste of potential for that to happen right now.

KM talks Willow drugging Drew.

I regret to inform you all I am once again at my wit's end with Britt after today's show. You know it's bad when a situation makes me root for Carly in this day and age. The issues are many but first and foremost is the writing trying to suggest that these spurts of truly horrendous behavior are all a deeply noble, selfless act to push people away so she can't put their lives in danger - except as many have noted online this is how Britt just already acts all the time, period. This is her baseline. There's no difference! There is no deeper, intimate core of this character that makes her any more palatable or shows any better side. There's just more whining and self-pity. And her sentiments about Rocco and needing Lulu to 'get out of the way' of their 'relationship' aren't fake either, among other wild shìt she's said. Almost as annoying though is her constantly whining about Carly being in the middle of her relationship with Jason and acting like she's somehow the only one who's ever brought this up in Port Charles, like her opinions are so novel and daring. It's giving Skye when she used to pretend she had been with the Quartermaines for her whole life and started saying 'Grandfather' 5 minutes after arriving on the show (and then wasn't even related to them). Girl, you and Jason fùcked like twice. Their relationship was barely a thing til now. If you want to talk to people who have been banging this drum since the Clinton administration talk to Robin or Elizabeth, who actually had long-standing involvement with these people and Carly's insane obsession and suffered real consequences for it. That shìt went on for years. Sam could talk about it too if she was alive. But they do this with Britt in part because they know there is an audience for it, so they figure 'hey, if Britt says it that'll get those fans on her side.' This was the same crass calculation Carlivati made about serial killer Franco suddenly deciding to have long speeches about the evils of Sonny and Carly in 2014, like suddenly mob violence outrages the BTK Killer. No thanks! I'll pass! The other difference between her and Kimberly McCullough or Becky Herbst is that KT has never had much skill for dramatic nuance or pathos, and snark only gets you so far. She's proven that in her several stints on the show followed by her multiple dramatic exits. So she can't put anything over beyond this baseline ugly behavior that is just Britt's resting state, yet I'm still supposed to care. I don't! I didn't have to root for Kari Wuhrer or Angel Boris just because their characters were against Carly, so I'm not going to start with this bitch. I've hated Britt from Day 1 and she's never changed, so why should I? Then she brought up Bobbie! Like just clock her, Carly. You can have this one, I'm good.

I suspect the Danny thread is also key here. She can still hold the Danny/Scout card over Alexis' head re: the restraining order if she needs to, and I suspect that is why she is not letting Alexis put the siblings together yet (while giving Scout to Alexis). Not because she plans to let Drew handle it. She knows Drew won't be speaking up any time soon. It's leverage on Alexis.

Carlton is a) still creepy and b) clearly the Impaler. Kial and Grayson will both be red herrings (or Grayson an accomplice).

That shìt terrifies me.

That would be classic, but GH rarely has those kind of guts anymore. That's not even really risky or shocking for soaps, but GH has been so highly averse to rocking their status quo in the last decade. They didn't even let Sonny walk in on Carly and Jason boning in '21. It took an outsider (PM) to help get us here.
