Today’s big reveals…

Well, that’s what happens when you have a head writer that makes Michael Winner look like Gloria Steinem. Theresa (and even Gwen too) and EOB deserved a lot better.

Welcome back, JJ! We’ve missed you. And that was a very nice bro hug that you gave Chad 😊😂😂 Today was a good one. It didn’t feel rushed and we got a really good understanding of what many characters were feeling, especially Xander and Sarah. Their scene today at the Kiriakis mansion is really what the Fiona storyline should have been from the very beginning. I was liking Tate and Sophia’s scenes too but I still think that maybe it would’ve been better and led to more story opportunities if Sophia had been the one to expose Fiona, as a way of scoring points with Tate. Same thing can be said for Holly. I don’t mind her being in Paris right now and I enjoyed her scene with Chad, but I think she should have stayed in Salem for a little while longer and continued to plot against Brady. Holly projecting her anger about Eric onto Brady was one of the best dynamics of this storyline. And I know that Tate/Holly are supposed to be the main couple, but I’m still liking Tate/Sophia lol And even though, I’m not liking the storyline or how it came to be, I am a little interested in seeing what’s gonna happen now that Chad is married to NotAbigail.

I don’t think I’d mind the lack of logic, if it was all just written better.

I’m almost up to that 👍😂 I read ahead a little and they really seemed to go all out for sweeps that year. Carrie’s kidnapping and the return to Stefano’s island, Rosa’s death, Nick’s “death”, Adrienne sleeping with Emilio, Justin finding out and trying to kill Emilio and getting paralyzed, Neil and Anjelica getting married, Melissa dumping Jack at the altar, etc.

Good. I’d like to see how the new writers handle them.

It seems similar to Mac/Cody, Chase/Jackie, Griffin/Duke: tie the newbie to an established popular character.

I think we all knew that GH was gonna do something like this to try and make Sasha relevant. It wouldn’t be the first time, or even like the fourth lol I’m surprised it actually took this long.

And there was a father too; Steve’s wino friend who read Tarot cards, Monty.

What the hell?

There was a third brother too, named Raul. He was in the gang with Emilio and ended up holding Kayla hostage at the Community Center. RoJohn had to shoot and kill him, which led to some problems for Carrie and Julio because Julio hated cops as a result of that. Definitely strange, because from what I’ve watched, I can’t stand Emilio 😂 They kind of borrowed the whole ‘gang member with a chip on his shoulder and a heart of gold’ trope from Pete Jannings and gave it to Emilio, but damn he’s like Pete on steroids. And that curly mullet that he was rocking makes me feel as uncomfortable as Luke Spencer’s perm does 😂😂😂 I like Julio though.

So, the crap wasn’t corrected and another storyline got rushed. This is why people don’t like Alex lol. Seriously, what was the point of all that ‘I’m becoming a better person’ crap if they were gonna have him regress so easily? They do the same thing with Leo. And in some ways, this is all ruining Stephanie too. I don’t mind Chanel planning a party for Johnny, but asking Alex for help planning it is such a weak, forced and contrived way to make this storyline happen. Friggin guy is related to half the town, why does she need Alex’s help? Johnny was wearing a much nicer shirt today though And again, it’s too bad about Mark because he was a good guy. I really liked his scenes with Felicity today. But this storyline is ruining him. And ruining NotAbigail. This was all so unnecessary.

I’ve always wondered why Anne Howard Bailey seemed to love Nick so much

Glad to see you watching again 👍

I hope he sticks around, despite the storyline… and Leo 😂😂

Damn, this writing team really, really hates Ned lol I’m still anticipating #Drillow though Btw, this PI with the dog is totally unnecessary. She almost feels like a Ron Carlivati character.

I think this storyline is ruining Abe worse than anyone. Well, it did seem like Sarah forgot to push and hit as well 😂

Same here. From what I’ve watched, I like April more, though the accent that Lisa Howard put on made her sound more like a Cerullo or a Falconeri than a Latina 😂😂 I wasn’t really a fan of Mike trying to convert to Judaism either because, from what I saw, it made him look stupid, made Robin look like a snob and made Jennifer a bit of a bitch too lol Thanks!

Luckily, today we had real writers, once again, correcting Jamey’s crap. I’m glad that Stephanie realized that she made a big mistake with Alex. It was (sort of) an out of character move for her, it rushed the storyline between her and Alex and totally diminished everything that she’s been saying about Bobby-Everett these past few months. I’m not against Alex and Stephanie reuniting but come on. Do it right. Hopefully, she pushes his ass away tomorrow. Paul Telfer and Serena Scott Thomas were the MVPs today. Their scenes today were what this storyline should have been; an emphasis on the relationship between Xander and Fiona, not Sarah’s paralysis or a fling with Brady. I wish it had gone on longer, both today and in this storyline overall. Johnny and Chanel deserve so much better than what they’re getting, but I actually don’t mind seeing angry Johnny though lol btw his shirt was hideous. As for Leo…Skip #PoorDee

The thought had crossed my mind that, with all the emphasis on the relationship between mothers and sons lately, maybe Ron was saying something.

So, what happened? I think Michael T. Weiss was one of the first to go, during the cast purge.

I think I would rather have seen all that then this stuff with Brady and Sarah.

Thats another problem with these mini-stories; it’s like they want the character to be everything but by rushing it, there’s like no way to explain why these characters are the way that they are.

Yeah. There was a huge cast purge from 1990-1991. I think it was even bigger than the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre of 1980

Leah Laiman loved her supercouples lol
