Regarding Ukraine: French President Macron is Moscow holding talks with Putin, while German Chancellor Scholz is in Washington to meet Biden.

I don't know but perhaps it was because Krista's hair is shorter than Hunter Tylo's hair was. So they put Krista in a wig for the first two months to show her with Hunter Tylo's hairstyle. But it was a terrible wig. I guess the show finally felt that after two months, the audience would recognize Krista as Taylor, so they dispensed with the wig? I loved how Krista constantly joked about the awful wig on her twitter. She knew it was bad and was happy to make fun of it.

They are writing that Sonny is in love with both Nina and Carly. I completely loathe Sonny due to all his mobster storylines. I hate the the show tries to make a mobster into a lead character. I hate the Carly/Sonny pairing. etc etc etc. But I like that the show is writing that a person can be in love with two people at the same time. I just don't care for the characters involved. Totally predictable that they had Carly walk in on the Sonny/Nina sex scene. This will be the show focusing on Carson and I'm just not interested.

Someone needs to get Noah's manpain out of the Teriah storyline. They made the Teriah engagement party last week all about him. Blech. It made it seem like the show was trying to ungay Tessa, and it was disgusting to see the comments on social media from homophobic fans cheering this on. No I don't want to see a man fantasizing about breaking up a lesbian couple. No. No. No. NO! I really hated that Noah's wet dream was shown because of that. Thankfully in today's show (Friday CDN) they showed Teriah's new residence - the apartment above Crimson Lights, which is now roomier and prettier than when previous characters lived there. And Teriah made love twice. Yes!

Christopher Sean did great acting on the show, he was committed to his scenes, and had lots of magnetism/dynamism. So I didn't really care about details of the retcon that brought his character Paul to the canvas. Drake and CS vibed so well together as father/son, it was really amazing.

Another preview for week of February 7th

There was no google back in those days. Eventually Tori learned he was with Marlena but she didn't want to interfere with that.

Wow I never knew there was a real Mary Ryan writing for the soap!

Not sure where to ask this. The credits on Friday Feb. 4 should have been for week of Jan. 31 - Feb. 4, right? They listed less than half of the recurring&guest actors that appeared that week. How does GH determine who to list in the recurring&guest credits on Fridays? (If there is a better thread for me to ask this on, please let me know and I'll move my question.)

agree about Nina

Fri. Feb. 18 - "An unseasonable heatwave hits Port Charles." Would that be Victor playing with an ice princess weather machine?

NBC never preempted for the entire Winter Olympics. Sometimes they'd preempt one episode for a single Winter Olympics hockey game, but never for the entire Winter Olympics. So many people on twitter claiming false information. But @JAS0N47 has the receipts https://www.jason47.com/days/preemptions.html

They waited until they allowed Krista to stop wearing the wig, and finally show her natural hair, so that her natural hair will be in the opening credits.

Her real hair debuted Thursday 3rd February. She tweeted a lot about it. LOL. During the episode: Ridge visits Taylor at work. He compliments her new haircut. She replies “It was getting so long. A little wiggy.”

This must be from filming the date. I'm so curious!

That is a really good question. In the SOD article about this, MB says that when Sonny was Mike, he really was in love with Nina - and although he regained his full memory and loves Carly, he has not shut off his love for Nina, so that love is still there. He doesn't use these words but it seems like he's saying he's still in love with Nina while *also* being in love with Carly. MB seems to regard this as real love. And MB has said that in other interviews/tweets/whatever, that Sonny loves Nina. But your point remains valid! She shouldn't be be having her first sexual time with him when she knows he's in the middle of a bipolar flare-up and extremely distraught. He does love her but the timing is all wrong. She shouldn't be that desperate. She should help him seek therapy and then wait until he's stabilized and then they can pursue whatever they want. I guess she's rationalizing it that they are already in love so why not? But still. The special date that Sonny had planned for Carly on the Haunted Star - had Sonny dressed in a white-jacket tuxedo. Apparently he was trying to recreate (on the Haunted Star) something from their tropical honeymoon or something - a big gesture. Carly was resistant to that type of pressure. This is obviously a set-up for Carly to change her mind and show up at the Haunted Star, and walk in on Sonny/Nina having sex. That's not spoiled but it's obvious because this is a soap.

Copy of that promo that should be internationally viewable:

This is from the ABC/Disney press release about Luke's memorial on Jan 21st: "As the town says goodbye to Luke, an exciting new mystery unfolds. Meanwhile, life continues to unravel for the rest of Port Charles as a beloved couple comes to a fork in the road of their relationship." _______________ These appear to be February sweeps hints. The "exciting new mystery" is probably about the Ice Princess. I wondered who is the "beloved couple" coming to a fork in the road their relationship? And then I realized oh yeah the show considers Sonny and Carly to be beloved (barf!)

On Friday 4th February, Sonny wants Carly to meet him for a romantic date on the Haunted Star. Kristina phones Carly and tells her to go meet Sonny, and Carly is upset and replies that she can't do this right now. The way the conversation goes, Kristina *interprets* this as Carly giving a definite "no" to Sonny's invitation. Kristina goes to the the Haunted Star and tells Sonny that Carly is not coming. Sonny is really upset. Kristina goes to work at Charlie's. Kristina is on the phone telling Molly how upset Sonny is and that he is alone on the Haunted Star and she's worried. Obrecht is at Charlie's and overhears this. Obrecht tells Nina, and then Nina immediately goes to the Haunted Star to check on Sonny. Meanwhile Carly and Drew talk. Carly says she is uncertain about meeting Sonny at the Haunted Star. Drew tries to get Carly to consider going. She might go there later after all. --- SOD has an article: week of 7th February. "Sonny and Nina make love". Main points: Sonny is on the Haunted Star. He is off his meds, and he thinks Carly has completely rejected him and all hope is lost. Nina arrives at the Haunted Star to check on him ... and then they make love. ______________________________________________________ The other big thing that happened. Thursday 3rd Feb, Peter was being transported to the prison and the vehicle was stopped. Dante and Mac were shot. Another officer was killed. Friday 4th Feb, Dante is in hospital but okay. Mac is in hospital in critical condition. Peter kidnapped Bailey/Louise. So this sets up two things for February: the hunt for the baby, and worries about Mac's recovery.

On the Friday Feb 4 closing credits, Wes Ramsey was removed from the contract credits. In the non-contract credits section, he wasn't listed, but ... only half the appearing non-contract actors were credited, so he was just another one that was omitted. Does these mean he's leaving? I have no idea. But at least he's off contract. The credits were for the week of January 31-February 4th. So that means he was off contract effective January 31. I suppose anyone could start a separate thread "GH Actor contract status change". But I don't know if it matters. We could have the whole celebration about his potentially leaving the show - but then like Lucy, Charlie Brown, and the football - the show would fake us out and continue torturing us.
