I really enjoyed John J. York's return today as Mac. Nicely written, nicely done. I think the Mac relationship to Cody really helps us care about the Cody character. Compare this to BOLD and Bill discovering he has a daughter. I care so much more about Mac discovering he has a son.

"Just like stop"? Are you serious with this, carolineg? Look, I think a lot of you and enjoy your posts, but I can literally judge AZ because I feel like it. I never said she's a bad human, but if the shoe fits.... She supports a guy who wants to take us back to the 1950s in all things gender and minorities and sexuality. She supports a guy who is a convicted criminal because...bank account. How is it my business? The same way any opinion about anything is my business, or your business, or someone else's business. I never said she should be burned at the stake for being republican. Again, my problem is not that she's a republican or conservative. I have said that repeatedly. I am fine with leaving politics to some other thread/group, but AZ is still on DAYS and would like to return, so I can't pretend this stuff has no place here. Why do I care? Because I care. The same way you care about the things you care about. If you like her or don't want to discuss her politics, fine. I get that. I respect that. But please respect my right to voice my disapproval of her. I was such a big fan of her acting, and I considered her a DAYS legend. This is a huge fall from grace -- in my opinion. And now to keep this on track...talking about the soap...I'll just say that I dreaded the end of her run. Now I look forward to it, and I don't want her back.

There is no difference between MAGA and "fully MAGA." None. This isn't about Ari Zucker being a republican, but about her support for Trump, who is a lying, racist convicted felon and the worst of humanity. I appreciate your take that it's not your business. However, it is mine when she speaks publicly and makes clear where she stands. Yes, she has free speech. We all know consequences exist when we speak. She lost a lot of fans by running her mouth.

Honestly, I don't know why they're bringing them back. There's really no story for Danny and Christine, and I think their Romeo and Juliet days are long over. If it's just for more sabotage from Phyllis, that's just more Phyllis character destruction.

-- It's such a cliche to throw in one obstacle after another to keep a couple from having sex for the first time. Why not have Gio show up with the violin AFTER Cody and Sasha have had sex? Make that part of the romantic moment. Instead we got another sex interruption. -- Also maddening: GH working overtime to get us to understand/forgive/whatever Heather's killing spree. Now Scott gets multiple scenes to defend her and throw the blame on cobalt poisining.

Stop pretending that a lot of people said we should question what happened at DAYS. That is not what's happened, not here and not on social media. You're doing nothing but diverting from the story here -- that Ari Zucker is MAGA, and that she's a hypocrite.

Respectfully, you must care what I think of her politics, or you wouldn't have responded to my comment. I said nothing about Alarr or her lawsuit. She was wronged and mistreated by DAYS. But that doesn't mean that what she says and does outside of that doesn't matter. I have been a huge AZ supporter and defender and advocate for her return to DAYS, and it sickens me to hear her comments on Trump. She is no hero. I hear enough in the two clips I watched to know I don't want to watch the rest. She's gone from DAYS? BYE!!!

SCREW. HER. Fair or not, once I hear someone talk about Trump this way, I am DONE. AZ can go to hell.

Pot, meet kettle.

Or at least have guys at the office -- a fashion house -- panting after RJ at work. At least Joshua Hoffman knows he's eye candy beefcake. Watch him when he's acting -- the way he stands, the way he holds his arms -- he's posing to show off all that muscle.

I rolled my eyes at that bench. It usually takes months and months to get a memorial bench and plaque, but Gregory got one in a week.

These "business stories" get worse and worse. -- Who the f.uck cares if "Abbott" is added to the CW name? "Sick" Jill on a zoom call doesn't do it for me. There are no stakes no matter what the company is named, and in no universe is this a story. -- So Tucker GIVES Glissad to Audra and she says "No, I'm TAKING it cause I WIN." Are you f.ucking kidding me with this? High school sophomores could write better stuff than this. Audra shouldn't have any standing to even meet with "the board," while Tucker shouldn't have to go to Paris to defend his company. What am I missing? -- The Diane/Kyle "business story" also sucks. Jack has a constant perplexed look on his face, as if he has no clue about anything, let alone Jabot.

That was good stuff, and I also enjoyed Ava's reaction. I do think production made a mistake in leaving Gio's violin once he got to the main theme of Nessum Dorma. Why stay through the intro -- which few people recognize -- and then cut when the "chorus" kicks in?

Nancy is 68 (and looks great, btw). She called herself a senior, and I don"T see any problem here, either.

I'm fascinated with those establishing shots because they look NOTHING like anything else on the show. They reek of high school intern. Jackee looked a good bit thinner at the Daytime Emmys. My guess (now pretty much always my guess) is that she's hit the Ozempic.

So Claire calls Tessa to get her parents a "quiet, private table" at Society, and Tessa seats them RIGHT NEXT TO THE BAR.

I'm thinking ORGY. After all, no guys in the BOLD universe are gay (except for wedding/party planners and florists), so throw in any and every guy who's not related to Trashy Brooke by blood!

Once again we get the worst excuse of a reason for Mariah and Tessa to be in an episode. But YAY for Josh Griffith supporting Pride Month by allowing the lesbians a quick kiss in public!

I'm all in for "The Year of Trashy Brooke" even if it makes crying Ridge earn another Emmy nom for Thorsten Kaye. Let Brooke teach her daughter how to be real trash, and to do trash properly. THAT'S a role model.

-- PLEASE give us a Brooke/Hollis se scandal! -- That "Brooke retrospective" made me LOL. All that production for 3 outfits. -- Also hilarious? Hope being in love with yet ANOTHER man after talking to him for 5 minutes. Wasn't she just madly in love with Thomas? The girl gets dickmatized easily.

Whatever. My point still stands. I just asked AI about NY surrogacy laws. The state of New York passed very strong reforms in 2020 with strong protections for both intended parents and surrogates. Contracts since 2020 are presumed vaild and ENFORCEABLE. For GH to go sideways on this, they either have to ignore reality or make Molly, TJ, and Kristina so ignorant and stupid that they don't have a contract.

-- Kristina thinks Natalia would be a good grandmother? Considering the way Natalia treats her, Kristina shouldn't even bring up Natalia's name, let alone throw out compliments about her. -- If Kristina keeps the baby, that's a full betrayal of Molly and TJ. I cannot see siding with her on this. Molly was stupid af to go along with this plan. -- Also stupid and unrealistic? Molly telling Kristina that her marriage is possibly blown up. In what universe would Molly be THIS dumb? -- I guess we're supposed to feel sad for Heather. #HardPass #KeepHerLockedUp

This is SUCH a great description and analysis of Annika/Hope and of who Brooke and Steffy are. Perfect.

The repetition is exhausting. It's just more switching executive chairs, and there's zero drama in any of it.
