Wow. I just checked my Audible, and I still haven't listened to Mo's book. But this makes me more interested in finally getting started. (Okay, I'm lying. I'm probably going to read Susan Lucci's new memoir, GL's Jonathan's Journey first). I feel for Tamara. She comes across as nice, considerate, and professional. And why shouldn't she have liked the Carly/Alcazar pairing? Those two were hot. MO is far too old, especially now, to be a grade-school bully, because another actor didn't think solely being in the Sonny/Jason orbit was the greatest gift. And screw Steve too. It makes more sense why she left GH and Alcazar's character was written out. I've been off the Mo train for a while. The ego on that man but being a jerk to his co-stars because the show dared not to be about him for once? Not cool.

What's with the endless musical guests? I'd rather some good stories than these one-off performances that don't do much.

Naomi is the worst. I don't know what Jacob sees in this shrew. And I'll be honest, I don't care anything about her current struggles. They lost me with the character. Now, it would be interesting if she secretly got pregnant and tried to abort because of the gene. 100%. But I don't think the writers remember this. Eva should be in the gray area, but acts as if she never did anything wrong.

I feel like I heard that rumor too. I also think there was an issue between him and TB when she played Carly. I saw Maurice allude to it on State of Mind. If Steve did intervene, I'm not mad at it. Carly and Jason have a dysfunctional relationship but it's been platonic since Bush was in office and it should stay that way. GH needs to work on their other stories that don't involve Willow and Drew. I was so bored by today's episode. Britt being a raging b*tch every time she breathes is not compelling. Steve needs to say something here.

All of this. I'm TeamKat too. Blood doesn't mean you have to put up with toxic people. I used to like Eva but she throws rocks and hides her hands all the time. She's not an underdog but a whiner who gives off "on sight" energy but wants to play victim. Although, the writers compromised Kat by making her take NoMas back in an hour after he cheated. More capable writers could thread the needle as to why Nicole seems all up in Eva's behind but constantly dismisses her own daughter. Nicole comes off frigid most of the time. She doesn't have to be Dani but dang, lighten her up a bit.

What did Finola do to get stuck with the hammy Thespian? There's scenery chewing and gobbling everything in sight. As for the story, it's so dumb. But at least Emma is worried about her grandmother. Britt needs to go. She's a wooden, one note b*tch and it offends me that I have to root for Carly, but here we are. KT may not be munching the set like what's his name but a director really needs to tell her to find some ways to humanize Britt. GH does have a tendency to make the female characters shrill (Kristina, Lulu) but they're not being shoved down our throats currently. The actress who plays Joss also needs some direction about humanizing her character. She is smug all the time. I wouldn't mind if Joss were played like an heiress but she is insufferable all the time.

Thanks. This sounds like my kind of book. A lot is said about Kim and Reva, but both tell it like it is.

Willow needs to plug or stab Britt with a syringe next. I hate when I have to root for Carly but Britt is a one-note, obnoxious shrew. I know the show doesn't care about Liz, but the chemistry between her and Jason is still there. Britt and her Rocco obsession are not needed on the canvas, especially given all the reasons mentioned in other posts here. Liz, Robin, and Sam were more worthy rivals for Carly, and the connection was simply undeniable. I hope Kelly gets another itch to leave the show. Onto other things, I wish GH would drop the Joss-Alias story. Joss doesn't have IT. I can't name one decent story she has ever carried. And only in the soap world can Nathan, who has been "dead" for years, be promoted to lead detective. He can go too, if I'm being honest. I don't think Maxie's return can save him.

You can't spin those BTG numbers. Winterfest was a missed opportunity to build momentum (nothing happened), and going all in on Anita's cancer as the umbrella story is a choice. GH's numbers look steady. There are some issues, but it's the best all-around soap right now.

Alexis is a hypocritical POS at times. All the time. She has a rap sheet a mile long, but is always hyperventilating about Willow. I wish the show cared about Ric so that he could rub her nose in her crap.

Beyond just bad writing, the constant telling and not showing is why it's hard to invest in this Matt Clark story. We never saw any of this mentorship. And Victor constantly being an overload is tiring. Respectfully, but Eric Braden can't even stand up in most of his scenes. Shoo in Adam into the big bad role. It's not as if he's doing anything meaningful. He and Chelsea are tired.

Absolute worst. I can't believe Willow actually whacked Drew again. She's gone from a bore to my favorite hot mess.

😂😂 This is so true about Reva. Each story was more ridiculous than the last. It's been interesting and informative reading the posts about what others enjoyed about Guiding Light and how long they watched it for. I was too young for the Roger Thorpe era and Maureen Bauer stuff but I know it's lore that her being killed off set off the show going in a bad direction. I really became a regular viewer in 1997. I think Rebecca Budig was still Michelle and had gone blind but Cynthia Watros was IT for me. I loved every minute of Annie torturing Josh and Reva, the perfection of that scene in the courthouse and Laura Wright's Cassie being introduced. Danny/Michelle and the Santos saga hooked me even more but that waned after the Michelle recast. Nancy St. Alban was serviceable but she never captured the same spark as Bethany Joy Lenz. My peak viewing was Jonathan and Tammy. Their love story should not have worked. For some, it'll always be taboo and gross, but Tom Pelphrey was a force of nature, and his chemistry with Stephanie Gatschet was out of this world. It was ham-fisted that Reva was his mother but Kim Zimmer and Tom were magic together. The Jammy story jumped the shark with the Lizzie baby stuff, and once the actors left, I was gone as a regular viewer, too. I kept up with SOD and saw some episodes here and there, but I just never returned to it like I once did. Too many choices were made, and by the time the show ended, it felt merciful.

Ugh. He's not rambling about anything that couldn't wait until the evening news or punted to cable. I saw a preview of a Kat/Ted scene that I really wanted to watch. Hopefully, Paramount uploads it later.

I couldn't make it until the end. It felt like a humiliation ritual and the dragging of a dead, smelly body. I think they had Alan Spaulding die on a park bench! Thanks. Much appreciated. I'll look for those posts.

Is he still talking? I couldn't change the channel fast enough.

You're right. It's hard to blame any actor for checking out of this mess.

This Matt Clark is so painful to watch. What is the point of all this? They're all taking turns to trash him and I just can't connect to any of it. Sharon Case's acting choices aren't helping. Morrow has been more impressive. This is so overwrought. Just turn Matt over to the cops and skip the "trial" at the ranch, with "Judge" Victor sitting in his favorite chair.

100%. Faison is so clownish. The character is hard to take seriously as a threat, and now he's holding Anna hostage (AGAIN!). Or maybe not, since we've only heard his voice. I must say, I do love Hove's voice. As for Anna, I don't get why people are simply just accepting that she left. They should be demanding proof of life. I hope Willow really did stab Drew but it's probably just a very nice dream. But after the courtroom scenes, I'm convinced Drew knows the truth just by some of his expressions. Also, Trina's dialogue hinted that Willow being married to Drew was the true punishment.

Did anyone here buy Kim Zimmer's book, "I'm Just Sayin'"? I started a Jammy binge, and I still love them after all this time. I don't care lol. But Zimmer's Reva really anchored the show. I know she goes into detail about the show's final days which were tough to get through. The shaky cameras did me in.

Has it been explained why they chose not to recast Maxie? My heart goes out to KS, and I'm hopeful that her health improves. But they shouldn't have moved forward with Nathan's return if Maxie weren't around. Stephanie Gatschet (if she's still acting) could've been a nice recast. I don't even know if I'll care about this story when KS returns to the role. I'm so so about Nathan and Lulu. Lulu has been an utter shrew for a solid year. But that seems to be more GH writing since a lot of the women are unlikable at different times. I'm surprised they haven't romantically hinted at Lulu and Dante.

Sad to hear about Justin Deas. Always hate to hear about someone getting cancer. It's such a vicious disease. As for the Emmys, Brad Maule should've won. I think many stars would cherish their one more than others who were rewarded year after year. Also speaking of Brad, I recently saw an interview he did where he spoke about the 60th anniversary of GH and he also spoke about being on the City Council. I'll check out his podcast.

Same. Billy Miller was just perfect as Billy, bringing charm, light-heartedness, and cunning to the role. Jason is serviceable in the role but I don't feel any connection to Billy (except for when Gina Tognoni was Phyllis). He's just there. But congrats to him on 10 years, and at least he got to be a proper leading man on Y&R.

GH is finally enjoyable again and I think it's because Mo/Sonny is not shoved down our throats five days a week. It only took 30 years, but the hold he, Carly, and Jason have had on GH is finally easing up. Mo sleepwalks through his scenes anyway. Nothing is lost by Sonny not being as important as he once was. Although, Alexis should've hammered him about her taking the rap for Jagger's murder. Gio and Emma took it to the next level. Okay. They're cute. But I must've missed why she was wearing a bikini in January. Nathan's return is such a bust. He feels so isolated and comes off as a bore. Why is he back when the emotional stakes involve a comatose Maxie?

Ted is a toxic dad. Just a garbage of a man who has Mean Girl sessions with Eva about Kat. I understand wanting to make up for loss time with Eva and form a bond with her but Ted is always telling Kat's business and talks down about his daughter he raised from birth. Although, I think Nicole and Ted aren't the best parents to Kat to begin with. Both act aloof and don't seem to think Kat has a reason to be upset. But anyway, I loved the Eva and Kat scene. And I haven't loved much about the show in a while. They both got their points in and there weren't any theatrics. These two don't like each other and it should be on sight for a while. Obviously, something is going to happen where Kat is dangling from the side of a cliff and Eva is the only one around. Dani needed to be checked by Hayley. You have a husband and it's not Bill. All this shows is that the con is becoming real to Hayley with some ego mixed in. Naomi is annoying. Jacob needs to dial up a divorce attorney.
