-- I hope Baby Phoebe continues to spit up on Chase's shirts so he can take them off and thereby entertain us. -- I am so sick of law enforcement in this town all acting like the Jordan car crash is THE important crime scene of the year. Mayor Laura continues to prove herself to be a crooked politician who sticks her nose in everything, and ADA Justine is laughable as someone involved in this kind of crime solving.

-- I complained about the Disney tie-in, but Michael James Scott was very good today, and the scene was directed well. As long as the Disney stuff is over, I'm good with it. -- Valentin got on my nerves with that gun. Carly is a nasty, hypocritical POS. Chris McKenna was really good today. -- I didn't really have a problem with Cody and Molly talking about their trip. Those types of scenes are standard in an episode with a ton of action. -- GH spends a fortune on sets, yet Joss tried that door in her locked room and it almost flew open 😂 -- A lot of characters appeared today, and I was never bored. I can't be mad at it.

-- Shanice is talking to Nicole about Ted. Really?? I don't think she'd be so clueless, and it doesn't matter she didn't remember it was "anniversary day." -- This "Anniversary Day at the Club" is actually hilarious, as if it's some seismic event in everyone's life that no one can get beyond. -- Kat is entirely right to keep Eva at arm's length and to have negative feelings about her. Eva still refuses to hold Leslie accountable for ANYTHING. Nothing that Leslie says or does is too far for Eva. -- So Ashley moved on from Derek because of his lies, but Grayson's lies and cover-ups are all OK. Got it. -- This plasma storyline has to end soon, because it's getting harder and harder to believe. Jacob and Grayson were beaten and stabbed, so what do they do? Return to the brick wall to plot. Huh? None of it makes any sense.

I'm having constant problems on my Android phone using the Chrome browser. When I log in, I'm immediately logged out. No problems on my laptop using the Opera browser.

This week's shows..... -- I'm still pissed that they let Michael Roark go. Getting rid of Jeremy -- a Horton -- makes no sense, and there was so much more story to tell. -- I really find Stephanie insufferable these days. I'm so tired of her being overwhelmed and unable to cope with ANYTHING. She's the one who needs a psych ward. Giving her a gun is absolutely bonkers. -- And if Stephanie can't cope with Alex having a child, he should dump her. -- I wish I could pinpoint where they went wrong with the Sophia story, but they did. I agree with those who say they made her TOO crazy for TOO long. -- Is Johnny's chair bolted to the floor? Is there a reason he can't jumpslide that chair over to Sophia's death trap? -- Carson Boatman had a lot of trouble keeping a straight face when he told Sophia "You're a good person." -- It was hilarious when Johnny was wheeled into the hospital on a gurney while Javi spit out his vitals. None of it looked like The Pitt, let me tell you.😂 -- I knew Sophia was dunzo when she and her mother had that loving conversation. -- Now Chanel has cancer. Just terrible writing to give a character who hasn't had two weeks of sustained happiness ANOTHER life tragedy. Chanel and Johnny are walking disasters. -- No way is Sophia dead.

I will add that GH by far had the best Friday cliffhanger. No other soap was even close.

-- Steffy's lighter hair is a mistake. -- If Remy is scaring Dylan, that's also a mistake.

-- I agree with you. It's hard enough for me to accept White Man Joey having so much power and influence over all these Black characters, but giving teeth and bite to Vernon and others would help. Jeez, Vernon had to go through Elon to get a damn meeting with Joey. Ridiculous. -- Wardrobe on this show is outstanding, but I had to laugh at the fit Andre put on at 6 am, especially that white jacket. -- So Lynette scammed a lot of wealthy people. Once again, I have a problem with writing these scammers like Lynette and Hayley as broke one day and as having access to a ton of money the next. -- I have no problem with Kat continuing her grudge against Eva. Eva puts on an act and is consistently performative. I don't see her as sorry for anything she's done -- or that her mother continues to do. -- Good Nicole and Ted conversation, but I still have a really hard time believing Ted would still be friends with Carlton, let alone best friends.

-- Joss simply does not work as this WSB spy. They can rework her and these plots all they want, but it is NEVER going to work. I don't know what her lane is, but this ain't it. -- Carly in the kitchen with those PIERCING SCREAMS at Valentin really got on my nerves. And I'm sorry, this guy continually showing up in the kitchen while supposedly in hiding is a joke. -- Stephen A is back to flirt with Jordan? Are you effing kidding me with this trash? Frank is so hard for this Brick character and "actor," and it's pathetic.

-- I think Maura West is one of the greatest daytime actors in history. I love seeing her, but I can't be happy with her place on the canvas these days. If she were trying to throw over Sidwell, I'd buy it. -- The Carly and Lucas scenes were maddening. Not pressing Carly for the name of the guy she's dating is ridiculous. -- Ryan Paevey has been doing nice work as Cassius. -- I love watching Nathan Dean work. Love the accent and what he does with his lines. Eminently watchable.

Jason Thompson is a good actor, but as a character, Billy is tired. The problem is that so many characters on Y&R can use a rest. Also -- in my opinion -- JT is a good looking guy but also someone I do not want to see shirtless. He does nothing for me and isn't sexy. The truth is that we're playing "Who Should Be Shirtless?" because today's show was not good.

-- I could've sworn we had a scene in the past with shirtless nuTed. Maybe I'm imagining it. Regardless, iT would have made sense for him to take off his jersey, even to change into a tank top. -- I think Timon looks better in clothes than out of them.

Why in the hell is Daphne taking her pregnancy tests at work? These two have been married for 5 minutes, and already there's PANIC about not getting pregnant.

-- Immediately suspending Madison at the hospital makes no sense. Hospitals do not operate that way unless there's immediate danger to patients or if multiple errors have been reported. -- Also ridiculous is having Lia tell Madison she's benched while walking through the reception area. No hospital functions this way. -- I don't like Samantha written as a sister who so easily throws her brother under the bus. -- I didn't like Jessica's lecture on "the patriarchy," either. Maybe it was cute, but I found it pretentious as hell, and I don't believe Jessica would rush to Samantha's defense like that. -- This show works overtime to make Smitty seem overwhelmed and consumed with the plasma case. But doing what, exactly? Now contact with Ren is gone. How is this plasma transfer working? -- Don't get me started on the stupidity of stabbing the hospital blood plasma transfer person. -- Ted told Leslie "We've come a long way." Just more proof that he's a moron. I really want Shanice to dump his ass. -- Madison and Chelsea handled the phone call from Madison's mother like two middle schoolers.

The fraus on Facebook are really upset about Smitty's shirtless towel scene. One even commented that it was "in front of his father-in-law." I just can't.

Y&R gives us shirtless Billy. BTG gives us this.

Getting rid of Michael Roark is nuts. This will be followed by a huge cast purge of young actors in a few months. Just cancel this show already.

-- You missed nothing. This is what you get when a soap is done on the cheap. Anything that costs more than $20 is a no-go. There was no indication of how any of them escaped that gas station before it blew up. Nick went to the hospital? Why show it when you can just say "He went there"? None of them acted like they'd been through anything harrowing. Just embarrassing soap. -- Sienna showed up looking like an Amish woman who pulled a double shift and then had to plow the fields. -- Is ANYONE in that crew calling the cops??? -- Sally and Billy could not be more effing boring. I do not care about them and I do not care if she has a damn baby. I don't care if they marry. Their conversations are better than Ambien. -- Shirtless hunks are a staple of daytime, but on this show we get Jason Thompson. OK then. -- Is Daniel sexist in going after his mother and not Victor? Maybe, but why shouldn't he care more about his MOTHER'S crimes than Victor's? Phyllis stole the damn company, and acting as if she earned ANYTHING at Newman is pathetic. -- And I still don't buy it that Lauren of the famous Fenmore chain would be so stupid as to go into business with Phyllis. -- Cane and Lily belong together, but I expect Josh Griffith to screw that up, too.

-- B&B moved so they'd have more room and more spacious sets, yet we again get dinner served in the living room of a mansion. Ridiculous. -- Why is Zende with Eric, Donna, Ridge, and Brooke? Is this just use of a guarantee? Because it makes no sense to me. -- Shouldn't Katie have thought about her next collection long before this? And where is Deke in all this? This is all just so poorly written. -- Please get Katie out of that short gold disco mini-skirt. And get JMW back to her dark brunette hair. -- I will give the writers credit for pushing our buttons and repeating these awful "Eric's designs were stolen and Katie stole the Logan name," etc., scenes. They know it ticks us off and they're using that for engagement. --

I don't think it's a fair criticism either, and I don't get the point of mentioning it at all. I criticize BTG and every soap like crazy, but I'd never attack or even throw shade at the writers' choice of reading material, or say they don't read enough. I also know that I could never write a soap. I read a book every 5 or 6 days, but that will never make me a writer. I know what I like and don't like, though 😂 I'm not even sure what my point is except that I don't understand mentioning those Black publications at all.

I can't believe we got scene after scene of Justine sitting by Jordan's hospital bedside. What the actual hell.

-- What's up with the wigs on this show? Katie's hair looks terrible, and Steffy's is also really bad. -- Katie's disco skirt from 1997 is even worse. She's dressed like the Walmart Halloween party rack. -- Katie is STILL crying over Brooke not appreciating her. JFC. -- Why are we still hearing about how Eric as used and abused? NO ONE CARES. B&B gets the demo leads in the ratings and then gives us this? -- Bill said Katie's collection went viral and that critics are out of their minds over it. Do they realize what they gave us on that runway? -- Why would FC have to delay Hope for the Future to highlight Eric's designs? Is Josh Griffith writing this crap?

What's wild is that KS looked so good and so healthy on her last return. Clearly, we never really know. The Facebook crew is going crazy. While many people are sending her their best, others are calling the whole story fake and saying TMZ is all lies. That, of course, is not true. The fact is that TMZ can be shady and intrusive, but they're almost always credible. I also have to SMH at the "None of this is our business and this should be private" crowd. That's not the world we live in -- and hasn't been for a long time.

Yep, looks like Kirsten Storms is in deep trouble. TMZ'General Hospital' Star Kirsten Storms' Ex Granted Restra...Kirsten Storms' ex-husband Brandon Barash claims the soap star is exhibiting concerning behavior and he fears for their son's well-being, and now a judge agrees she is suffering from a mental health c

That goodbye was weird as hell.
