Darn

They are 40 years old. But I agree with your points!

Ruined for me by literally every character that showed up in the opening segment. The immediate disinterest that washed over me when Dante and Sam showed up, followed by Cody then Sasha then Joss and Dex then Brook Lynn then SONNY. It's like they didn't want me to watch at all today. So I didn't. What a boring bunch of characters. I realized today I can't stand more than half of the cast.

I know it's not sustainable but GH has no business being as good as it has for the past few weeks. I'm watching episodes all the way through and looking forward to the next episode! It's wild.

Do you have some sort of vendetta against the truth?

Crazy that one of the least interesting leads on this show in 20 years is the mother of one most interesting leads on this show in 20 years.

Sylvia Browne was a charlatan, like all psychics. I'd love to know why this show kept throwing story after story at Jensen Buchanan's Vicky when according to the ratings she didn't move the needle. It's weird that they never did a real radical change to the show given it stayed at the bottom of the ratings for so long, other soaps fluctuated at two positions or more at least but AW stayed in the basement.

GH, Joss and Cam: Friends to lovers to enemies. I love it.

Okay the shot of her having to stand on her tippy toes while wearing six inches to kiss him is making me, a grown ass man, kinda melt. Yeah, that was well done and I'm just grateful it actually happened. @Vee almost had me!!!

Literally the only soap opera that feels like a soap opera. GH has had an excellent sweeps so far. As someone who hasn't watched consistently in a decade I'm surprisingly heavily invested. When Ryan showed up at Wyndemere last Thursday I was legitimately shocked, even though it was telegraphed in the episode I was like "oh shît". Although the hook thing has been dragged out probably a bit too long and isn't the most compelling of mysteries (it's got to be Laura's deputy mayor, right? For all the killings that haven't been Heather anyway, the one in this promo IS Heather though), at least it's a story! It's something happening. It's not Days where the only story they can seem to tell is people fake dying or B&B where Sheila runs around the entire cast like she's Bugs Bunny and they're Elmer Fudd or Y&R where you get to watch beige people watch beige paint dry in a beige house on a beige street in Beigetown, U.S.A.

I’d like someone to take a count of how many sets are used in a week. It sounds like you get Crimson Lights, TGP, Noah’s club, the Abbott mansion and various other sets in small rotation. So a bunch of establishments and one house, with maybe the destroyed Chancellor mansion, Devon’s condo and a hotel room or two thrown in for shîts and giggles. Is that accurate?

Thank you! That was fast, didn't Tucker just get back to town??

Thanks for more info about whether or not Erica used her married names.

Does Tucker have any involvement or scenes with his son, Devon?

The biggest problem is that these are merely returns. There are no stories here. Nothing is ramping up or coming to a climax or kicking off a new story. They will all just show up to do absolutely nothing. Y&R is coasting on nostalgia and familiarity, there is nothing to discuss about the current day to day plots.

Thank you @Vee and @P.J. As far as I know only the Cassadines and Laura knew. Can I just say it’s effing wild that the show with the most famous rape survivor had her go on to have a child as a product of rape with a completely different man? Both of whom went on to be her husband (with the Stavros marriage being forced and not at all legally binding of course)! I will say GH does a good of not invalidating what we saw play out on screen. Nik’s birth fits in the timeline and do does Trina’s if you account for the sliding scale of soap opera time.

What’s the timeline of Portia and Taggert’s marriage? Was he supposed to be married to her when on the show in the late 90s/early 2000s? An offscreen wife he never mentioned?

As soon as I saw Spencer brushing Trina's back with his fingers I knew the Sprina fans were gonna lose it lol I love that, "premier young love birds". Even with Joss and Dex going hot and heavy every other week they're not getting anywhere near the ink Spencer and Trina are.

Toward the end of her run I knew she was better than the crap the show gave her, happy to hear this.

I wonder how much of it is the cast. MTS and PB definitely don't want to work with her and they wield a lot of influence.

It never would. If they'd get their heads out of their asses they'd bring back VR. I don't care, it's been 15 years and I'm never gonna shut up about it.,

JFC finally. I also have a feeling they're getting married. They've been dropping some hints. Like Trina and Spencer's whole conversation about her dating a man with a child. Yesterday Stella telling Spencer he wasn't family. Portia saying she was fine with Trina not being at the bouquet toss because she didn't want her to catch it anyway. There have been a few others I can't remember at the moment.

She's had three successful co-hosts...

I've always liked that he never found out. I don't know, I guess I just thought it was neat that a soap secret wasn't revealed to everyone. Can we get a tally of the number of women on soaps who gave birth to twins without realizing it? OLTL Viki (Jessica/Natalie) Y&R Sharon (Cassie/Mariah) GH Nina (Nelle/Willow) Susan (Jason/Drew) ATWT Iva (Lily/Rose) GL Alexandra (Lujack/Nick...this one I'm unsure of, did she know she'd given birth to twins?) BTW I really need this plot device to die.

I didn't know the show did that well, good for Kelly. I was going to say something about working with your spouse every day but that's literally what they did on AMC. And there it was for much longer hours, with rehearsals and running lines and blocking (back when these were all separate duties unlike now where they'll grouped together), so they're very used to being around each other constantly.
