I love dark Willow, but I don't get why she blackmailed Nina, who already does everything for her. It felt like the show was doing too much to drive home the point that Willow is desperate. We know.

Thanks for the post and tag. The Viki/Dorian/Victor story is one of the first stories I got into when I started watching. I really bought Erika Slezak as so many different alters and just hated Victor. He wasn't on the canvas, but look what he did to prim-and-proper Viki. Tori was my favorite alter. She was so chill and laid back. I lost it when Todd said she was acting like "white trash." Sad anniversary today: OLTL was canceled 15 years ago. The show was at its best in some time when the axe came down, IMO.

I love that this caught on! This is the only time Ivy has been remotely interesting.

Bless Lynn for refusing to let Lucy be just another generic character on the show. So many of them are soulless, either by written word or they just can't fill in the spaces. As for who Lucy's soulmate is, it's Kevin for me. I loved Lucy, Doc, and Sigmund. I hate that the writers broke them up and they barely interact. Laura deserved better than Luke, but she and Kevin do nothing for me. Speaking of Luke, he and Lucy had great chemistry. They should've hooked up instead of him and Felicia.

Awww. I love Lynn and Lucy. Happy Anniversary!

100%. GH gets a lot right, but the treatment of the Black cast is eye-rolling at times. We don't need to care about TJ to see how he was erased from the canvas. Or how he barely mattered in a story about his own child. It's just as annoying to sit through Trina and Kai scenes, two underdeveloped characters who could be more defined if the writers cared. Portia and Isaiah have me completely lost. I don't know any man who would barely blink that his girlfriend is having another man's baby. I don't think he's reacted even once.

😂😂😂 Anna, Laura and Lucky too. GH has a thing for the waterfalls. I also didn't care that much about TJ, but the way he was sent to the attic was another example of how the show didn't care about him either. He was a non-factor in the baby story. The show was too obsessed with Kristina wailing. After the revolving door of Molly's, I do like this one. But it's so hard to take Molly and Cody seriously. Preteens have more serious relationships. Speaking of Valentin, it annoyed me the other day when Alexis acted as if Charlotte were just another teenage girl with Danny. That is your niece/cousin. She's family. At least GL addressed the elephant in the room with Tammy & Jonathan.

Stafford used to be such a good actress but something has gone off the rails in recent years. And she's not the only one. I'll chalk it up to the weak material. As for acting I am enjoying, only Shemar Moore and Vivica A. Fox could get me to watch two full episodes of Y&R. The backstory of Stephanie not telling Malcolm that he didn't have a son doesn't hold much water. He's never been an outright bad guy and deserved the courtesy of being told. That was undersold in the scenes and papered over. It came off like a shrug. But here we are and I loved Vivica's energy and camp. Put her in more scenes with Audrey please. As for the extras in the scenes, it felt like there were only two customers at the restaurant lol.

The Sheila fake out was hilarious, especially as the camera panned to Taylor's shoes. I love it when Bold commits to being absolutely ridiculous. Still, I'd appreciate a line or two from Sheila about how she's already "killed" Taylor already and could do it again if she wanted. If the Logan story were still going, the show could be cooking again. But Bold only seems able to juggle one interesting story at a time because I damn sure don't care about Carter and Daphne or the Elektra stuff.

😂😂 I have a headache over the way GH bludgeoned the point that Kristina and Jacinda are about to do the nasty. I wish the chemistry were stronger between all three, and Jacinda wasn't being played like a Mary Sue who has been tamed by a good man. But I'll take this if it means Michael snaps because another relative seduced his woman. Sidwell's gobbling of scenery is always amusing but I don't get why Britt and Cassius can't just tell Sidwell that Callum killed Marco. The focus on Sonny feels like a backdoor way to make him feel important on the canvas, and he just isn't anymore. I think that was the first scene they've shared in which they explicitly discussed his true identity. Before, she just gave him a funny look at the hospital. I guess they're still not that close if he won't rescue his own sister. How do the kids of ultra villain Faison become at the mercy of someone else? I'd think they'd have their own power base.

Bold has actually been entertaining lately. I do wish that Krista Allen were still playing Taylor, but RB has nice chemistry with SK.

Agree. I have all the sympathy in the world for KS and her medical issues. But she seemingly takes months off at a time for a role that could be recast or simply written off. Maxie's recent blink and you miss it return to GH added nothing of value to the story. I like Anna but the character has been so watered down. It would've been cool if she had been mentoring Emma into the WSB. Serena Baldwin and Michael would be a good match. Unless there's another daughter I'm forgetting. I wouldn't mind if Lucy and Kevin reunited. I always loved them together.

Lily and Phyllis are in a love triangle over the same man is so WTF. They shouldn't have ruined Daniel and Lily.

I owe RP an apology. He's not the world's best actor, but he did have some instinct to add some dimension to the imposter. He was told not to, according to his new interview. So, I can't put this all on him. This was a choice by the writers.

Definitely agree with this. I force myself to let it go because I know budgets are what they are but Ridge has been so nasty to Hope. And Brooke just accepts it. It would be fun if Hope got under Ridge's skin about Taylor and Deacon. She needs a personality shakeup. Yeah, it has been entertaining in a wacky way. I wish they hadn't wrapped up the Logan story so quickly. I liked that, but it lasted maybe three weeks. Eric was barely gone from Forrester Creations.

Lulu's constant violations bother me too and the show just keeps doubling down. Charlotte's existence is such an affront. Mothers and daughters, especially teens, clash but I never feel that Charlotte even cares about Lulu. She's just there. Even in this story, it feels as if Lulu was just inserted into Maxie's place and it won't matter that that she had sex with a man under false pretenses.

A good actor gives nuance and fills in when the material is lacking. Most of us knew that resurrected Nathan was a fakeout, but the tension shouldn't have existed because we've watched soaps for a long time. There's a reason why David Canary's portrayal of Adam/Stuart still stands the test of time. Even when Adam was pretending to be Stuart, Canary gave a wink to the audience. Another example is Christopher Reeve's portrayal of Clark/Superman. He made you believe they were two different people. You're right that RP is not the most offensive actor on the canvas. But he's just reading lines off the page to me. He gives absolutely nothing! As for the rest of today's show, Rory is too damn good a recast to be left with busy work. Put him back in a hot story. If Sidwell is going to have everyone by the balls, give Michael a reason. Sidwell's mustache twirling is a bit much now.

Basically. But I wonder if an actor the caliber of David Canary could make this work. You really did think Stuart and Adam Chandler were two different people on All My Children. RP is giving me nothing. He doesn't distinguish between Nathan and Cassius. The writing made it obvious he was a fake but he could've added some nuance. I just hope this doesn't drag out as long as Peter/Heinrich. I had to stop watching GH for a while over that.

Sheila is so going to lose it. But I wish they'd stop ignoring what she's already done to Taylor and Steffy already. Although, I don't care if Steffy takes another round. I hate her so much. All she does is point her finger at everyone. At least Stephanie Forrester was an entertaining bitch. Not that I miss him, but where's Liam? Hope needs more to do than worry about her dad's sex life.

It's cruel that the cancellation came on April Fool's, but the show had run its course by then. It was put out of its misery. Better writers and a decent budget could've had Sarah Randall, Robby Santos and the younger kids leading the show. Although it's jarring to think of Michelle, Danny, Jonathan, and Lizzie as the new OG set replacing Cassie, Josh, Beth, and Harley. And we all know Reva wouldn't be leaving the front burner. She'd be in cougar town with Robby!

I'm about to watch the episode in a few minutes but the actor who plays Sidwell reminds me of a rollercoaster. He can chew a scene like a ham sandwich (like Marco's death) and then he's very laid back. In the last thread, I think @ranger1rg mentioned that Sidwell is pulling all the strings and it's way too much. He's currently threatening Laura, Sonny, Drew, Willow and is some mastermind behind fake Nathan. GH needs to pull back. Making him Willow's overlord was a jump the shark moment for me. And yes, Happy anniversary GH! It's currently my favorite soap and the most consistent with story and pacing.

Galen long overstayed his welcome on DAYS. No great loss if he's not screen hogging. I did like Elia Cantu, but the show never did.

Yeah. Kristina seems all in on Jacinda, and I think the writers are setting up Olivia to say "I told you so" to Michael.

GH has a right-leaning tilt. Willow's cancer/pregnancy story was so OTT. She wouldn't even consider treatment or an abortion because the baby was so sacred. It says a lot that I much prefer Willow as an absolute psychopath compared to what she used to be.

😅🤣 We'll all be skeletons by the time she debuts. I can't get into DAYS because of the taping schedule. Sofia joining the show doesn't make me want to watch, but she looks good as a brunette.
