NLG has been on fire IMO these past few episodes. She has an Emmy reel IMO. I would really love for Liz to have a story again...and where the hell have her kids been?

Raven Bower's is a REALLY good actress. I'm sorry to see her go. I hope another opportunity comes her way soon.

So, how many women has Carter proposed to now? It's all so ridiculous that this gorgeous man has spent YEARS being dumped on and struggling to find a woman who's interested in him.

Wow...all four of these are shockers. I can think of a few other characters that make more sense to let go...or use a lot less of (cough, cough Leo)

REALLLLLY loving the show right now. I'm so hoping that Willow gets completely off (and can't be tried again due to double jeopardy) and then see what she does next. It will be so much fun for Drew to see that he got played.

I think the actress that plays Ashley is actually pretty good, but the writing just hasn't been there for the character and everything with Derek didn't work. Hopefully, they'll be able to figure out a way to use her effectively. I wish we could have found out that she was Joey Armstrong's daughter, and her mom has been keeping it a secret. It would be a way to bring her into the broader story. I'm SOOOOO ready for Hayley to actually put the next stage of her plan in action. I, too, felt like things have been in a rut for a bit. I'm hoping these are good signs of what's to come.

I reallllly hope Willow gets a not guilty verdict so she'll be free to cause more drama and chaos. This version of Willow is FAR more interesting that weepy young heroine.

Loved the twist that Willow was actually the shooter! Of all the soaps, GH has been the one most keeping my attention as of late.

I've been rewatching the show on Plex. I didn't start really watching until Season 11 back when I was a teenager, so all the earlier seasons were basically brand new for me. I hated how Laura was basically given nothing to do her last few seasons until it was time for her to die. CM was such a phenomenal actress! I really had a huge appreciation for her watching those early seasons now as an adult. I'm now in the early episodes of season 13....God, help me! You can see it going off the rails. I think the show held up pretty decently up until the end of Season 12. I don't think I watched much of Season 14 when it originally aired. So, that will be mostly new to me, too. I know a lot has to do with Mary Robinson. At least they tried to make Laura part of the narrative sort-of at the end.

I know! I actually like the current Ari a lot. I've been hoping they FINALLY give her a love interest and also let her interact with the Hortons some.

The guy playing Jeremy is the best casting the show had all of last year. He just feels very natural on the show and is handsome as hell to boot. I just hope he really isn't the one behind the Stephanie stuff. It'd be nice to have a Horton leading man again.

That is IF they actually cast a Latin actor to play the part (cough, cough Rafe).

Best/ worst couple - Best Emma & Gio GH Worst - Daniel and Tess Y&R - Just beyond ick. Best/worst new character Best - Leslie BTG Worst - Daphne on B&B (all her smelling!) Hottest new pairing - Dani and Andre - BTG Best mystery - Who shot Drew? - GH Best/worst use of history - Best- Doug and John's funerals - DAYS Worst - Bringing back Ian Ward - Y&R Most entertaining character - Leslie BTG Most over exposed character - Ridge B&B....why is he ALWAYS on? Most surprising twist - Hayley is conning Bill BTG Best wedding ceremony - Hayley and Bill BTG over the top campy fun Best casting - Rory Gibson GH Best enemies - Dani and Hayley BTG Most ruined character Sally Y&R How did she become so boring? Best/worst new/old sets Best- The updated B&B sets Worst - Redressed hotel rooms on Y&R Best/worst costumes Best- BTG, the whole cast B&B - For a show about fashion, sometimes it's hit or miss

Honestly, I couldn't even follow the Jean Hackney story. The whole thing felt soooo out of place.

21 episodes in a year has to be the most episodes Esther has appeared in a very long time. I do wish they would use her more often as she reminds me of all the great Jill/Katherine years. Other than that, the show was a pretty big bore for most of 2025. The writers need to make a New Year's resolution to not use the words CEO, COO, merger, take over, and launch for all of 2026!!😅

And, is there any point to the story that's happening to Mariah? Tessa and Daniel was....nope. Didn't want to see that. Both actors deserve a way better story than that.

Overall, I think the character development and family interactions under the new writers is much better than RC at the end, but we are missing MUST SEE moments and good plot twists.

Ridge, the most insufferable, misogynistic narcissistic character on all of daytime, on every...single...episode and the most of any character for the whole year.

I loved VH on As the Word Turns, so I'm happy to see that his version of Lucas is actually be developed and used! It's interesting to see how GH actors in general have much higher episode totals than actors on other shows do at this point. Is their budget that much bigger?

It could've been a great story! Peter returns and is still in love with Jennifer. Organic conflict for Jack and Jennifer. I know MR has played Jennifer almost the entire time, but I really, really enjoyed CM in the role. I thought she breathed some new life into it. Plus, she may be available full-time. If Cady were playing it, they couldn't gone full steam ahead with a Jack/Jennifer/Peter story.

I'm glad SSH is back on contract now after all those years recurring. With her history, she deserved to be on contract.

The show needs a huge overhaul with a fresh head writer, not one that's been recycled 100 times already, with new story ideas that focus on family and romance. Those endless business conversations would bore a coma patient. There's just no....energy on the show. I feel bad for Billy Flynn. I think he actually has chemistry with CK, but he's been saddled with all the BLAH that is Cane. Not to mention, he looks about 15 years too young. If they ever bring back their kids, it's going to look so awkward. It's truly turn into The Bored and the Middle-Aged.

Yep, it does worry me that BTG 18-49 demo is at The Talk levels now. I wonder how much streaming is taken into account at this point. GH is often in the top 15 on Hulu every day.

It's pretty insulting. This is the best they could do to come up with conflict for Mariah and Tessa. The one LGBT couple on the show.

1000% I feel like the show dropped the ball...of course...by not setting up the next generation of that by giving Jill a much younger long-term rival.
