Darn

At one point yes but now I’m so serious, will she ever have a relationship with a black man? Devon at least had something like 5 years with his Invisible Girlfriend.

Hey, quick question, will Lily ever have a black love interest? Thanksn

I’m in a waiting room so I’m not watching on purpose. I looked up and guess what Danny and Christine are doing? Eating a meal in an empty restaurant. Looks like Mariah’s been doing the most because she smothered a man to death. Okay. Who was this guy? Based on Victoria and Claire’s reactions you’d think they underbid on a new house not that a man died and half their family has been missing for days.

This is practically my mantra. Ask @Vee. I talk about Sonny and Mo like they did something to me personally. Sonny is a husk of a character and Maurice is a lazy embarrassment. They are the albatross around the neck of this show slowly, painfully suffocating it yet Frank and/or network think they are the only things keeping it alive.

1) Llanview sure has a vested interest in the ongoings of an upstate New York town. 2) Do they want us to think Laura is a [!@#$%^&*] idiot? Because she’s sure acting like one. And I’m sorry, I have a hard time believing Sonny would be too broken up if literally anything happened to Laura but she’s willing to sacrifice her career, reputation and all of Port Charles in some weird familial loyalty to him. It rings so hollow. Whatever is going on between Sonny and that ADA makes me want to call Dateline.

She's been really bad lately, especially this week. Kristina is nearly impossible to play as written in her defense.

I missed this sentence and just assumed you were describing something that already happened. I didn't question it.

The show was honestly so good since the Nurse's Ball up until last week with Natalia's nonsense and this week with the focus squarely on Sonny. The show loses all momentum when it goes back to this dude. He's boooooring. The same conversations about him are boooooring. The episode with the fire was one of the worst I've seen, looked like crap, bad blocking (Kristina could have gone out the back several times over before Marco showed up) the actors seems under-rehearsed, the dialogue was awful. Just bad TV.

Not Independence Day though! 🤣

Should’ve been a week of episodes recapping the first few months of the show (I think Sunset Beach did this at one point? Not that it turned out great for them but I like the idea). I would’ve checked that out, could’ve helped me understand what characters/stories truly matter to the overall narrative.

I think at this point any blonde will do lmao Was Curtis ever a good character? In the 2-ish years since returning to the show I don’t think I’ve enjoyed a single scene of his. He’s so morally superior and DT talks like an anchorman who’s been at the job too long. Similar to Chad in his last few years he radiates “over it”. And I might be projecting or taking his old black Luke Spencer comment too much to heart but I get the feeling he really resents being stuck in the Black Story ghetto, hates the marriage to Portia and isn’t crazy about being Trina’s father (though clearly has a good rapport with Taby). I’m sure I’m not saying anything revelatory considering we all clock how he perks up when sharing a scene with a Port Charles blonde but every day it bothers me more and more because he’s not like Tanisha Harper who is just a bad actor, he’s pretty obviously IMO not committed to the work. Especially opposite Brook Kerr who clearly relishes finally being on a soap where she’s got dialogue that isn’t mind numbingly awful (all of the time anyway).

Yeah that's the part that bewilders me. They didn't even try. Usually when you get a name actor you at least give it a go. They allowed Natalie to just...exist. There wasn't even a simmer with her, no hint of things to come, no potential plot threads to explore. Everything about her was lukewarm, even her homophobia!

That's exactly what they're going to do. It's just so lame. We all know it'll be reset so it's a bunch of handwringing just because they can and I guess Spoiler Kelly Theibaud needs something to do. Ugh. The amount of time devoted to the end of this "friendship" where Mo spent the majority of it looking like he was overdue for his mid-morning nap is wild. Natalia's got to be one of the biggest headsratchers I've ever seen on this show. Homophobic mother of recently arrived gays, alcoholic (I guess?), former wife of international arms dealer and best friend of local mob boss. In town for a year and a half. Did absolutely nothing of import.

God they probably are setting up that it was Britta's egg and not Lulu's. I hate it. So much. Will the game of hot potato GH plays with reproductive organs and babies ever end?

Haha, I do believe we've now officially put more thought into this plot thread than the writers.

But what is the conversation exactly? "Your mom had an abortion but I didn't". Unless there are other factors like he's anti-abortion or Lulu has been pro-life or they've hammered into him how stupid accidental pregnancies are or something, I can't wrap my head around why he would be upset.

It's really sick the number of convoluted, violating and just plain weird pregnancy stories Lulu was apart of, all the while never carrying to term herself. I'm glad I missed all of that because it seems like for 5 years the only thing they could write for Lulu and Dante was absurd baby shenanigans. This is what your hot, young couple was embroiled in in their late 20s? I think the next baby drama we're in for is Portia or Jordan getting knocked up. We'll ignore that they've both been in who's the daddy plots already and that both should be in their 50s.

Yeah, exposing the abortion would just make her plain evil and the only way the fallout from that could have any impact on Rocco is if they had built him up as deeply religious. I think GH has forgotten that Valentin's Monster even exists. I don't quite understand why they had Lulu work so hard to get her back if they weren't going to feature her. I would've had Charlotte tearfully tell Lulu she's staying with Mi Papa or whatever and just kept them on the run. Did the show feel that Lulu couldn't move forward knowing her daughter is out there somewhere? I get that. But still. There is very little reason for any of this to upset Rocco. His parents are still his parents, this was a crime committed against them, he's been on their care since he was 7 months old. They should have dug a little deeper to find something that would upset Rocco or hurt Lulu.

The ONLY thing I don’t like about Brook Lynn’s revenge against Lulu is that Rocco is a minor, a kid. And he’s not even one of these wise beyond his years kids or a smart aleck. He is a perfectly normal 16/17 year old. This isn’t Spencer vs. Ava, this is a boy who is about to get his world turned upside now by a woman who is typically kind. It makes BLQ look petty not engaging in righteous retribution. I’m not even sure this should result in the reaction she wants. Dante and Lulu are still his biological parents and it should be perfectly understandable to the sweet, sensitive Rocco why they might not have wanted to reveal this to him, the circumstances sound very traumatic. Does Lulu not have something else in her history to pull from? And does BLQ realize that this will make…everyone hate her? Beyond Lulu and Dante wanting to kill her, Gio especially will be pissed.

This show is physically painful to watch as a fan of the genre and a person with eyes. I thought I’d check out some of the fallout from the reveal of Cane as Aristotle Dumas. Big mistake. First of all what is this France set? A bunch small tables surrounded by fake tall bushes? But here’s what got me: We cut from an allegedly restless Lily (Khristel, let’s work on this whole “acting” thing) in bed flashing back to a conversation with Cane where they are…sitting at a table arguing with each other. And with that? I’m out. Not that I was ever in but Jesus Christ, was there a sale on small cafe tables or something? What happened to blocking? This is the laziest show on television.

Counting the minutes until someone is pregnant again. This show can’t go long without a pregnancy, there were only about 2 months between Kristina losing “her” baby and Sasha getting knocked up. Who’s next?

Something about Friday's episode felt like a throwback. Maybe it's because we were outside and there was a dog. Idk it was nice. I'm really not one to go gaga over a hot guy but Rory Gibson is distractingly hot and talented. They got his shirt off as quickly as possible lol logic be damned! I wonder if Chad didn't expect his safety net to hit recast gold. Sasha's about the dumbest person in town and I've been saying it for months! She SUCKS! A judgmental little malcontent who makes no sense but wants to act all superior and serene. The audacity of her to act all "Poor Willow" when she was actively rooting for Willow to lose her kids two weeks ago! She's spent the past year treating Willow like she's a demon but now suddenly she has to deep well of sympathy for her? Get bent you marble mouthed @sshole. You know what's crazy about her still after the hoops they've jumped through to tie her to every corner of the canvas? She could disappear tomorrow and nothing would change. In fact it might be to the show's benefit. Michael doesn't need THREE children.

It would be kind of perfect if Nikki started emulating Kay in style and mannerisms actually. Kay was her surrogate mother and her example of how a society lady of a certain age should carry herself. The reveal of Aristotle Dumass as Cane and Cane as Billy Flynn is so fyucking stupid that I don’t have the words. Every time I catch a glimpse of this show it’s a scene of two people sat at a table. Does this not drive you all mad? Mariah and Tessa had this big emotional scene on the patio of CL. It’s deranged. GH manages to have sets for a dayplayers in a single episode but Y&R can’t be bothered for contract players and an important story climax. This is more than budget issues, this is a show produced by people who don’t care about what they’re transmitting.

Haha, welcome! Thanks to @Vee I can't think of her as anything but a crime against nature. It's funny to see Setton criticized right now when the past few months are the first time she's impressed me. She's sunk her teeth into this and it shows IMO. The way she's played her simmering rage at Lulu is the first time she's felt like Tracy's lineage. Her wardrobe is insane and I don't understand it. A linebacker masquerading as a glittery tuxedo cat is not the look I would have chosen for the big reveal of Gio as her son but what do I know? This plot has made me like Chase for the first time! I love a wife guy on a soap! That's his woman and he's on her side no matter (until they inevitably divorce at some point in the future). It's nice to see a guy be ride or die for his girl, on this show it's the women who spend their free time acting as cheerleaders for the men. This plot has also made me dislike Dante. I found his reaction to Rocco's alcohol poisoning to be wildly out of character and his stance in regard to Chase isn't in step with who he is either. They clearly want him to have a certain perspective to amp up the conflict but it's not working in those instances. Only his reactions to Brook Lynn and Lulu (especially) rang true. I don't think Dominic buys it either which in resulting in some of his weaker performances.

My GOD I want Brook Lynn to punch Lulu in the taint. Jfc she’s a menace! ”She hit me!” Yeah, stand still so she can do it again. Hey, let’s let Chris McKenna wear something other than a suit at some point. He looked ridiculous at the pool. Willow and Drew and the ripple effect of their affair is the best thing to happen on this show in years. I don’t like them but I love them. Unlike most of Sonny, Carly and Jason’s foils Drew isn’t easy to dismiss or kill off. Which is why this story works. He’s the town bad guy. Good! I’m not saying he comes close to an Adam Chandler or Victor Newman but soaps need a rich jackass who everyone treats like the boogeyman but isn’t actually evil, just totally driven by his own self-interest. For years the bad guys on this show have been interlopers you knew weren’t going to last a contract cycle (if they were lucky!). For so long everyone was so effing nice minus the disposable Cyrus or Victor or that reptilian in the ascot raising his mutant test tube baby.
