All those pics of Kristen Storms and Wes Ramsey, they actually look like a cute couple

When it does hapen, MO is gonna say:

You know Vanessa when we began working together you were so Green and I made you better. He has said so in interviews before when talking about Vanessa. His EGO sometimes. 

As much as I’ve enjoyed some of these episodes you aren’t wrong about that ego! He does always bring it back to himself, though I admire his brutal honesty about how poorly he treated CD and even Kim Mc. 

He’s said he plans to have Genie and Jonathan Jackson on this year and I hope he does! 

None of the shirts in that clip look teal colored to me, but I remain relieved for Terry that her date isn’t Spinelli.

Was this a real-life memorial service for Stuart Damon?  He died back in June.  Was the service delayed due to covid or whatever?
 

I would love it if this were actually for the show but I don’t see that as a possibility. BW looks great!

I like new Taggart too, but he feels different than the other Taggerts if that makes sense?  More casual and less uptight.   I always think of Real's Taggert as very serious and New Taggert didn't come off that way.

He felt more causal I agree, a little more jokey. I could get on board with it, but really I just want the character back on the canvas. 

I liked seeing the Portia/Trina/Taggart scenes toddy. New Taggart isn’t bad, not sure if he’s sticking around but I would like to see that character more. Everything else was boring

They were probably hoping to get RB back as Hayden so they could pair her with Drew. Remember all the talk about Hayden's disappearance and her mother's murder. That went out the window pretty fast. My guess is they asked RB and she said no.

There was also talk for a while about Nik having Hayden shot and rehashing all of that so I think you’re right. I liked Greenlee but Hayden never did much for me. I guess I would rather see Drew with her than as Carly’s shoulder to cry on. I can’t believe they had Sonny call him a knock off Jason and then actually turned him into one. What a waste. 

I thought Charlotte and Valentin’s reunion was pretty sweet! They had Laura mention she’s 13 so you would think they’d start kicking the younger teen set into gear and have her interact with Jake but this show is so weird about when they show the younger kids.

I guess I am in the minority and thought Mo was good?   Believe me, I know he has flaws.  There are scenes where I can't even hear or make out what he's saying because he is whispering and mumbling.  There are times you can clearly see him pausing to try to remember his lines.  There have been many times over the years where you can tell he's completely checked out of the Carson pairing.  But yesterday I thought they were both good and the fight had better dialogue than usual.

I usually think he’s phoning it in and relying on tics more than emoting but I agree. CarSon fans seem mad that he doesn’t seem upset at the way things turned out but I think that’s intentional. Sonny wanted out, despite his last ditch effort at winning her back. That’s how I’m choosing to see it!

Actual dialog from today's episode! LOL

Oh man he said it! And it’s true, or actually Carly probably fantasied about Jason way more times than Sonny did about Nina because she’s been at that for decades. I wonder how much of her anger is that she wasted her chance to bone Jason one more time because Sonny came home. Also wonder what they would have done if SBu had gotten vaxxed. Would this be a quad?

I love that Mo doesn’t mindlessly placate his fans.

Agreed......most of this is Carly's fault!   Her bitching at Nina caused Nina to not tell her about Sonny in the first place.  She did have a right to be upset about Sonny not telling her about loving Nina, but again that's partly her fault about Jason, and being so Carly about it.  Then with his bipolar manic episode, she seems to not notice or care about his mental health, and Nina is worrying about him.  I hope Sonny will tell off Carly, take Donna away from her,  gives Avery back to Ava, and divorces Carly!  Re-cast Jason for Carly, I do NOT want Drew with Carly as a fill-in Jason. 

I cant even imagine how fans would react if they actually recast Jason! But I would love to see that meltdown. 

Now Carly gets to play victim, which she loves more than anything. How many times do we have to watch this same storyline?

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.
 

I get why she fell for Mike and still has feelings for who he was. But they’re showing Sonny as fairly awful to her and also showing her as weak and groveling. I wish she was just a bit more Ava about it all - enjoying the mess and going for what she wants. The CarSon fans are going to call her evil no matter what. But this show, always plays anyone in the CarSon orbit this way.

Heard a rumor that it's 

  Reveal hidden contents

Spinelli

 

Oh Lord poor Terry. 

What exactly is it about off his meds Sonny that is attractive to Nina, to the point where she has to bone him then and there? She really does not love herself. 

Today was pretty good soap. Those Sprina scenes were excellent and that almost kiss was just the right amount of longing and heat. Ava was fun and messy screwing with Esme’s head. Nikolas was completely useless. And Peter of course lives another day longer than he should. 

It looked like Maxie and Austin were still doing a Covid kiss but others have been straight up kissing. I wonder how they decide these things?

This Willow’s birth certificate thing just took a very stupid, very undramatic turn.

I’m really excited for Spencer and Trina’s scenes tomorrow though 

It looks like it might actually be a satisfying day if Spencer finally admits he has feelings for her. I’m surprised they’re going through with sending him to prison but maybe he will discover Esme’s connection to Ryan there.

Also as for JJ I have read in many places that JJ and his reps thought Becky Herbst was gonna leave when her OG contract ended and JJ was gonna return and send Liz & Lucky off

 

Maybe when Becky renewed they decided Lucky was needed and recast?

I can see why the show thought Luke and Laura’s son was needed on scene regardless of Liz. But why they thought a beefcake type was who should replace JJ is still a mystery. And their Nik replacement at the time wasn’t much better. JY was great on AMC but he was all wrong for Lucky. Didn’t love that era of GH at all. 

I never heard that Genie was actually mean to Jacob, from her or Jacob. She did famously say that she was against the recast because he lacked JJ’s charisma and he was wrong for the role. She was right on both counts. 

I will say Maurice is very willing to own up to his past bad behavior. He talked about similar things in his interview with Kim Mc too.  But interesting that Steve Burton was much kinder to Chad and helped him in those early days. Soap sets are such dramatic places.

Are we going to be talking about "We were not really married but she is a good dog mom"?
Coz looks like CD really wants to take over SB's crown as the biggest d**che of the GH cast. Yikes.

I didn’t think it came off douchey, but he really isn’t a good speaker. It almost makes me impressed he can get out his lines on GH because he couldn’t make it through one sentence in that interview. 

I love Real and Taggart so I’m happy he will be back.  Is he still Trina’s bio dad or have they made that Curtis?

They're all pretty green except Lipton, who is susceptible to bad habits picked up from older hams. I think he's the most skilled but Mikayla and Chavez are enjoyable and charismatic and have a ton of potential, plus they're not chained to Joss. McCoy is passable at best. Still, overall it's the strongest talent GH has had in a youth scene since the 2000s.

Ha I never thought of It that way before but I can definitely see Lipton having picked up some chewing the scenery habits from RoHo. I agree though they’ve got some nice talent to develop here. We were quite spoiled in the 90s with Kim Mc, JJ, Amber, Becky and even Steve Burton back then.

I do think Trina/Spencer is where the show is going it's just taking a while and it's lost its momentum some what.

All the teens are decent and I think SM and WL are a cut above, but I have trouble seeing any of them leading the show in the way it was obvious KMc or JJ could immediately.  I think you could tell someone like SBu was very capable even when Jason Q was a bore. Even if Vanessa was a green actress in the beginning you could tell she was a star in about 5 scenes.  Eden McCoy has been leading stories for several years now and the fact is she's just bland.   I think EM would work much better in a supporting role and Trina should be the lead, but I think that's the general consensus of this entire board lol.

I actually think the one with the most potential is Nich Chavez. He’s still very green but if anyone moves on to something bigger I think it’ll be him. 

A lot has gone wrong in this teen storyline, but I think this was just the last straw for a lot of fans (me included). They brought Spencer on and had him immediately click with a Trina, teasing that couple all summer long. As they’re about to have their first kiss, they bring on his long-term girlfriend and that’s the story for the next six months. 

I’m sure SM’a schedule hasn’t helped, but it feels like a bait and switch. Having Trina be absent for the culmination of the cabin trip, where Esme finally gets told off, was just bad storytelling. But to me it also feels like a sign of where this story is going. I know GH does this all the time, they take potentially great stories or pairings and throw them away. Doesn’t make it less annoying.

I get it lol

We've watched William Lipton and Eden McCoy since they were like 14 and now we're watching them bang so I could see how it could be a little awkward 

But I'm still glad that the teens are being written as teens. These are the things they should be dealing with rather than constantly dealing with death.

And I also have to say, what a great opening scene 

I think the awkwardness was more that their bff ran off crying after telling them she’s uncomfortable with their group dynamic and is crying alone in the next room. But I guess the show needed it to happen this weekend so it could be recorded in Esme’s burner phone. 

I sure don’t mind the teens having sex, but they still come across as oddly chaste and younger than their age even with both couples sexually active now. 

What a romantic first time for Cam and  Joss, btwn their distraught friend passed out in the next room and their being secretly recorded. I don’t think Esme has any long term goal here she’s just enjoying burning sh!t down. 

Peter with the baby was so hilariously bad. I can’t believe he’s still alive to do these things

What in the actual f-ck is Wes Ramsey doing? He was HORRENDOUS today. Like, more than usual. Why was he slipping in and out of random accents? Why is no one stopping him? This is embarrassing.

He somehow made the word “cruel” into five syllables. So bad 

I would hate it if Luke and Laura ended up back together. Laura being apart from him and happy is one of the few good things on the show. I would like to see Lucky back though, if the show were ending.
