GH really came up with a winner when they chose Nick Chavez to be the new Spencer.  He's so effing believable.

NC is fabulous and I'm just going to enjoy him while we have him because there's no way this kid stays once his 3-year contract is up. Imagine what he could do with some classical training.

He truly impresses me more everyday. He went straight from contrite and downright earnest with Trina to aggressive and hostile with Ava and held his own with MW. He’s such a gem. 

And even those few Sprina scenes sucked me right back in.

If he doesn't follow the rules, he has to pay the consequences - plenty of people in jobs that pay a lot less do. They can't make exceptions for him.

Def agree, was just wondering if anyone heard of any reaction from him. On Insta I saw some comments saying he already announced he’s leaving but couldn’t find anything official to confirm that 

I hope you’re all right and that Sydney’s recurring status won’t stop Sprina from being a full fledged romance. They’re my main draw to the show these days. 

Does everyone thinks this means Ingo is leaving? I hate that I still really enjoy his work on the show.

My mistake, I should have said when her contract was originally supposed to be up. It is true that she was just taken off of contract, but I have seen people indicate elsewhere that she might  leave sooner than later. There are people that still think she might leave some time next year. There are people on Daytime Dish that said she did an interview a bit back that indicated this. (Though that may have been before Sprina really took off) They have people over there who seem to have insider information. They have been correct regarding information that they have posted months in advance about spoilers and some show departures.

Hopefully Sydney sticks around for a while, And people like Nick Chavez are still promoting Sprina which is a nice sign. But you never know. Regardless though I think that there has definitely been a bit of shift with the portrayal of Spencer/Esme's relationship lately. 

It would be a shame if we never got to see Sprina with these actors. But the way this show has been lately, I could see them just never completing that thread. Still if Sydney leaves I hope they recast Trina with Sprina in mind. I do not need to see this become sort of Joss/Spencer/Esme triangle 

Agree completely about the decidedly intentional lack of chemistry between Spencer and Esme. I could buy them as partners in crime who like to cause trouble, but I really need the backstory. Was Spencer just bored and lonely in boarding school and that’s why he took up with her? If he’s staying with her now because he feels like he has to (either because he owes her or he’s afraid of her) I want to know that too. Spencer was coming on to Trina so hard at first and while it’s clear he still digs her, the script itself makes it seem like he’s loyal to Esme. I’m gonna need some explainin

The only surprising thing about Spencer and Esme sleeping together is they are SO not touchy feely with each other, pretty much ever. Even when they’re alone. But I can see Esme using sex as one of the ways to keep Spencer close to her. I doubt she has any real interest in him, sexually or otherwise. 

I was expecting all the college age teen actors to be on less, but somehow Eden, who will also be playing competitive volleyball, is still on contract? I guess there will be more Esme vs Joss. I was really hoping we would get a grand romance with Spencer and Trina.

Look at him just standing there completely dumbfounded. LMAO! Nik is so crappy. "Ava and I were building a family. We would've let you in." WTF? Nikolas, Spencer is your SON. You don't need to let him into the family. Ava is the outsider - she's the one you and Spencer would be letting in. This is why Spencer feels like his father loves Ava more than him and it's why I can manage to have some sympathy for the little sh-t, lol.

 

Also, today was the first time since Esme debuted that Spencer has had an entire episode without her being in any of his scenes I'm also glad that we're getting back to the Esme/Ryan connection. She looked so happy to see him! I was getting really bored with her. We can only watch her cling onto Spencer and make smug faces for so long. Hopefully now we'll find out more about what her connection to Ryan is, and hopefully her dynamic with the teens, including Spencer, will be more interesting now that everyone knows she set Ava's car on fire. It will be interesting to see what happens with her and Spencer. He lied and said that he told her to do it, but he was still really quick to rat her out about the fire. She won't be happy, and Spencer probably needs to sleep with one eye open.

Austin is a total flop, and so is Austin/Maxie. They've got to be kidding with this. They can't be serious about pairing these two?

I like Yuri the bodyguard. He's a sweetheart.

That line made my heart hurt for Spencer. Nikolas just keeps making it clear his son comes second in his life. Which is in character but still really sad. I’m glad Spencer confessed though I guess this now goes in the direction of whatever future schemes Esme plans? I would really like Spencer to be in Trina’s orbit again so I hope this moves along quickly. One of the best moments of today was Spencer’s very sincere apology to Trina. Give us more of them show! 
 

Esme really hates Ava, it was apparent in their scenes today. I need a good reason for that. The actress is much better when not smiling smugly - I liked that her smile with Ryan was different than her smug scheming smile. 
 

Sonny is infuriating and I can’t handle that we are supposed to see his actions today as rational. Good for Nikolas for telling him he’s not even man enough to apologize. Next time remember you’re a Cassadine and threaten him with something horrible though.

Might as well have brought Tyler back for a day...

It took me a second to get this and then when I did savage. 
 

I saw the chem btwn Esme and Cam too and now there are two teen couplings I want to happen that seem unlikely. Seriously, they were getting great buzz from Sprina so they decide to just not have them be alone together for months?

Hasn't Kristina been a bartender for awhile now? I think she dropped out of college. Not that we ever see her, so it's hard to remember what's going on. Julian gave her a job there at some point, I think at the beginning of Mike's Alzheimer's story, because I remember Mike really liked going there. I think her working at Charlie's is how she ended up meeting the people from Dawn of Day?

Can we get rid of him and give his airtime to Kristina?

Def thought this was Spinelli for a sec

This show really is bizarre! Will this be yet another story that just gets wrapped up anticlimactically and without explanation? Or is this going to turn into some kind of slow burn where Carly and Jason still have the hots for each other (lol) and end up having an affair? I mean the answer is of course no because then Sonny would somehow seem less virile or whatever. 

So lame.

Eden is funny, lol, I laughed at Esme being in the trunk. I have to say that I enjoy how the GH teens use social media. No politics, no drama. They just post fun stuff about the show and support each other. Some of their older coworkers should take note. 

I’m so impressed by all the teens in real life. I’m not used to my soap teen actors balancing college with their shooting schedules (and somehow Eden will also be playing varsity volleyball?) and I love that they’re embracing the college experience. I hope they’re able to juggle it all because the teen storylines have the most potential for me personally. 
 

And speaking of the teen scene and colleges - Nick Chavez posted a pic at UCLA in his Insta stories. I love that he’s bonding with this cast mates.

Here are some upcoming spoilers for the week of September 27th, including an interesting one about Spencer/Trina:

Monday September 27th: Josslyn has incredible news to share with Brook Lynn. Obrecht loses her advantage. With new information in hand, Anna and Valentin take the next step in their investigation. Chase gives Finn some brotherly advice. Terry offers Liz her support.

Tuesday September 28th: Maxie encourages everyone to lead with compassion. Valentin takes advantage of a moment of liquid courage. Obrecht forms an unexpected alliance. Michael and Willow are closer than ever, delighting in parenting together. Drew grows impatient with his circumstances. 

Wednesday September 29th: Trina gets Cameron to help her set her plan to expose Spencer in motion. Josslyn is mystified by what she sees at GH. Nikolas realizes there’s only one way for Ava to be safe. Epiphany takes care of an old friend. Esme makes a bold move.

Interesting that Trina is going to get Cam to help her expose Spencer. Something must happen for her to realize that he was involved in the stalking. She will also be trying to expose Esme. So I wonder if she tries to expose both of them, or for some reason decides to mainly focus on Spencer. Regardless of what Trina's plans are I could see Esme throwing Spencer completely under the bus/letting people think he did everything including the fire. I think that Spencer may end up being arrested for everything, while Esme remains free for the time being. We may not get a romantic moment between Sprina anytime soon if things play out like this. 

I like the Cam and Trina friendship a lot, but I would really like to get some more Sprina scenes already. I’m ok with a slow burn with that relationship, and with Spencer needing to grovel for a while. But I don’t want them to start having Spencer/Joss scenes and testing those two out.

I've said it elsewhere, but this whole situation seems weird as hell BTS. It used to take 6-12 months and an act of God to get Jason to begin to get serious with a woman onscreen - that was the going philosophy from the end of the '90s until this year. Now, Jason has bounced from Sam to what was practically a ONS with Britt (albeit with sudden and rushed confessions of love from Jason, which you must admit was real quick for him whether people liked that pairing or not) and now onto Carly, a pairing Steve and Jason have both shied away from for decades. I wonder what the hell is going on at the studio. Did the situation with Burton and Monaco become untenable and now Steve is trying to prove he's still the A-lead by opening the floodgates to literally anything?

It is bizarre but honestly he should never have had that much say in stopping this storyline. The only time his Jason had chemistry with a Carly, in my opinion, was SJB and he really kept it from happening. Not sure why they’re going with it twenty years later in this haphazard fashion, with no build up or attempt at making it feel real. Even if they don’t want to try for passion, make it friends who love each other so much they want a nice comfortable life together. It’s just so poorly done and so rushed. 

Spencer today being all “omg Trina said she liked me? Exactly what did she say and how did she say it?!” Was adorable. Hopefully Twitter makes a gif of that moment.

Ugh. Can we please just have one day where Spencer is on without Esme? She doesn't add much to the scenes which makes her constant presence extra annoying. There was no reason for her to be on today. I'm looking forward to Joss/Spencer tomorrow, though I'm sure their scenes will last about two seconds before Esme interrupts.

Wes Ramsey is sooooo bad. It truly feels like we're being punished. I wanted Phyllis to shoot him SO BAD. Please!!!!

I wonder if we are going to be seeing even more of Esme because the other three teen actors will be balancing shooting with college. I understand her purpose but I want more of Spencer interacting with other people without her too. 
 

There was a moment today when Peter got a text and looked down at his phone and then up and said “Hmmm” in the most absurd almost satirical soap way…I can’t understand why is he doing this. He really did used to be good.

She found out he was alive. She was mad at him at first but ended up forgiving him. The last time he was seen was at her graduation party was a couple of months ago. 

Thanks for filling me in! I hope they would at least bring him back for an emotional scene if this does happen.

I hope Jordan doesnt die and I wish they would just leave Trina as Taggert's kid. There is so much history there. Spencer & Trina are into each other. Nikolas dated Taggert's sister, Gia and Taggert wasnt happy. I doubt he would be happy Spencer was dating his daughter. So many possible beats there

 

I love Curtis but he doesnt need to be Trina's dad to remain relvant

Same here. If this show were smart they would start building more family around Trina and keep her as Taggert’s daughter which basically makes her a legacy character. Bring in some cousins or something to start the next teen generation with Jake Spencer. But I love Taggert and hate the idea that he was duped.

To my eye what looks odd are the male hunks of my youth as they age today.  !990s male soap stars were so tan and angular.  However, it is true that as you age your nose and ears continue to grow.  So, today men like Steve Burton, Ronn Moss, and even Don Diamont are all cheekbones and sun damage with huge ears and long noses.  It reminds me of the old ABFAB line, "your entire face just hangs off of your cheekbones."

I find Steve Burton’s cheekbones incredibly distracting. Especially when he’s with LW who looks very natural.

Also, I am interested in seeing how things play out with Trina's paternity storyline. Not only will she be upset, Curtis and Taggert are going to be upset with Portia as well, especially Curtis who has missed out on an opportunity to know his daughter.  

I missed many months there until Spencer and Trina sucked me in - does Trina still think Taggert is dead?

Jason and Cay might work if it were Sarah Brown in the role.

I used to want this so badly. But I hate Jason now and can’t see what any woman on the show sees in him. He’s so apathetic about all his romances. So Carly can have him and their lackluster kiss. 

1 hour ago, xtr said:that her & Trina had talked about Trina's crush on him.

I do wonder if the writers will end up giving us more insight into his and Esme's relationship. Because he doesn't seem to be that into her romantically, but he does seem obligated to her for some reason and is allowing her to pull his strings.

Ha that gif is amazing! I didn’t notice how quick his head whipped around but he clearly wanted confirmation. Poor Trina she looked so sad at being outed like that and then she was all doubting herself. I was not pleased Spencer went at her so hard but I guess he’s that afraid of being caught out. Esme giving him those three options as if she would take the fall for him. That girl does not care about him at all. 
 

I guess we are supposed to agree with Joss and see Esme as pulling the strings and Spencer as her puppet but that’s let’s him off the hook way too easily. What I need now is for a cute PCU boy to come into the picture and for Spencer to get very jealous.

And it’s proven to be irresponsible, unwise, and incriminating. Folx are quick to screenshot a “receipt”, a has become a signed endorsement. I won’t even like a dear friend’s video without watching it in full.

True but I’m still willing to not write him off just yet, for what may have been an accidental like. But if something similar happens again, it’s far more likely to show his true thoughts.

Well JJ wasnt Married when his wife was on GH. Infact, he was off the show most of her run. Maybe they squashed things when JJ married Lisa

Yes that’s very likely, I am just a grudge holder. LV and JJ are probably more forgiving

It’s possible MC didn’t even watch Ingo’s video and just Iiked the post without seeing it. Mindless liking on Insta is definitely a thing. Giving him the benefit of the doubt that he unliked it when he realized what it said.

His bit part in the NLG drama is why I am still not convinced but hey, I don't know him personally so I would like nothing more than for it to be true. Lord knows the GH set needs a lot fewer a**h***s.

Isn’t MB the one who was embroiled in the NLG/IG drama? The set must have a lot of tension right now. 

SBu has always rubbed me the wrong way too, but looking back on it most of what I’ve heard in terms of him being mean to other cast mates involved MB too. They were pretty rude to Jonathan Jackson’s wife Lisa (Hannah) but JJ still seems to be great friends with them so I guess those late 90s days are forgotten.
