Not to mention, superficially, she looks amazing! And loving the throwback hairdo's she continues to sport.

She absolutely did; it showed why Elliot's return was needed. Every single return she had just filled the canvas so much, and you can tell she's enjoying playing the role.

Jane Elliot ate that, relishing in what she just accomplished. The past two-days she's been wonderful, per usual. Having her back, especially now, feels absolutely right.

This I agree with. Michael Quartermaine was so much more the man that Michael Corinthos wishes he could have been. God, even writing Michael Quartermaine felt amazing. Meh.. I'd just love to see Cynthia Watros put her fangs on [finally] and I'm just... not feeling Cameron Mathison as Drew. But that's what makes soaps amazing: what [some] enjoy, others don't. 🙃 I guess I also don't see what makes Willow a woman someone would... want. Chase, Drew, Michael... they all wanted Willow, and I don't understand why.

Again, so much potential for AJ that was wasted.

The manipulation could have come from Nina's side, though, as from her POV, it would have been her encouraging Willow to take a stand against Carly/Sonny, etc. That's the sense I got in those scenes with Martin/Nina; instead, it went to Willow's lover. I've just found myself suffering through episodes daily. It's a dread.

Production like this will never been seen on GH again I fear, which is sad to admit.

For me, Chad Duell's exit as Michael kind of buzz-killed the storyline for me. 🤷🏻‍♂️

At this point, Drew could permanently relocate to Washington, D.C. with Willow, and neither of them would be missed. Ultimately, their children could go with them, too, and they wouldn't be missed, either. Also, Tracy ripping Sonny & Carly new asshøles the past two episodes has been delish, and way overdue. Jane Elliot shined in those moments, and I needed more. Hoping we get some more.

I concur; plus, Tabyana Ali (Trina) & Jens Austin Astrup (Kai) share zero chemistry, and it also feels as if Frank Valentini, Nate Varni, Elizabeth Korte & Chris Van Etten are trying to re-hash the so-called "build up" that Trina & Spencer had, and it is falling short. Honestly, Astrip has had better chemistry with several male co-stars (👀) & Vernee Watson (Stella). If I am being honest, I'd love to see Jequan Jackson, who plays Kai's friend Quinn, paired with Trina. I think Jackson & Ali have some underlying chemistry when I've seen them in social media posts. But Trina & TJ would be cute, too, although, I'm still pissed TJ/Willow were never pursued. And it is high-time Ms. Wu (who I am SO happy is back) reveal she switched Trina's paternity in favour of Curtis over Taggert, even though it's very clear Valentini has zero interest in returning Réal Andrews to the role, which is a major downside. Andrews can act, unlike Donnell Turner (Curtis).

Honestly, [most] sets don't have colour. I mean, Elizabeth's Brownstone was pretty nice until they went to Y&R, borrowed the blue they painted the Chancellor Estate for 2.5 seconds and ruined it, and then used it again for the Miller & Davis office. Like, that has less colour than what the Q set does, and yet... feels warmer and more comfy cosy than what the show has right now. It's all about the accents and it feels like [most] sets are missing that. I'll say it: Greystone Manor feels more... like what the Q mansion should look like than it does. Even this feels warmer and richer. Like, ugh.

Beautiful. A truly lavish set, and you can see where inspiration came from for the current design, as well.

Not bad, although, I would've chosen Bobbie's death (as you previously suggested).

The current mansion set is a very modern-looking set, which I feel like is what I would imagine Monica would do, having watched HGTV in all of her downtime. Does it give McMansion? Yes. Is it a horrible redesign? No. And like @Vee stated, at least it wasn't the drab grey we were stuck with when Valentini and co. came into down and attacked the Metro Court/Carly's old house was forced to take on. That was such a bad era... not to mention, the One Life yellow cameras.
