Carson Boatman and Billy Flynn almost broke out laughing during their Johnny/Chad scenes today.

It's not the love scenes I'm concerned about. He can't get through a scene without looking like he's struggling to remember what's going on.

I'm fine with that, and I'm happy about anything that gets Sonny face consequences and yeah, leave Port Charles. Maurice Benard is struggling like crazy, and he's increasingly hard to watch.

Yeah, I'm lost there. Nothing about Marco says villain.

-- The hospital scenes today were so bad, especially anything with Ashley and Andre. -- The Ashley stuff is horrendous, and it makes no sense for Andre to video any of that. He's "looking for a way in" and trying to center his documentary? WHAT? If he doesn't know what his goal is, he should put down the camera. Or maybe film somewhere other than the main desk, where nothing was happening. -- Ashley is no better with Andre than she is with Derek. It's all bad. -- I love Shanice, but those scenes with "Lulu" didn't go far enough. The Shanice we've already come to know would have asked a lot more questions about this "new nurse" she never saw before. -- BTG seems to think avoiding makeup on Samantha will make her look younger. It doesn't. The actress is fine, but I'm sorry, she looks WAY too old for this role. -- Laura's doctor was good, but I question giving private medical news in front of visitors. -- I enjoyed the Smitty and Martin date and any scene with Eva is worth watching. -- Swivel Ted is still swiveling. -- This episode is just a C grade for me. The awful Ashley/Andre/Derek scenes cast a pall over the entire hour.

I think if Maurice Benard wanted LaRue as a screen partner, we'd be seeing it by now. I don't think that's happening.

Thanks for the common sense description and analysis of Daphne. I was about to throw up after reading all the praise for the character and the actress. As far as chemistry with Carter, I can't see it, although admittedly I'm so down on Carter right now that I can't imagine chemistry with anyone. Just how many women has he mowed through in the past two-three years? Why would any woman believe any word he said?

Natalia is certainly being written as someone who does not have long on this show.

I cannot believe the Natalia we got today. Has anyone at GH seen any of the Natalia / Eva LaRue criticism? I've already said it would be difficult to redeem Natalia after her bigotry and homophobia over her daughter. For a time, it looked as if they'd just stop mentioning it. And now? THEY'VE DOUBLED DOWN! I cannot believe what I saw on my screen today with Marco. The Natalia character is garbage.

It's dated, especially for Black youth who would more likely use salty or mad jealous or seething or pressed. Cray cray is just as dated.

It's not accurate. That slang is not used by high schoolers in 2025. Am i the only one who thought that stack of cash looked fake? The paper was white,

SOOOOOO glad that Chance told Summer to fck off. It's about time a guy who's that decent and who looks THAT good doesn't grovel for crumbs.

-- Good, fun show today. The fashion was great, and put BOLD to shame, and the episode breezed by. -- I was underwhelmed by that purse. -- The men's fashion was also very strong, especially the suit on Andre. -- The teen slang for Samantha needs work. Kids are no longer saying "cray cray" and "jelly." WTH is up with that? -- The actress playing Samantha is fine, but I don't know how long they can get away with her playing a teenager. The closeups are already pretty telling.

-- Deacon and Carter in a fistfight. It's pretty bad when you're hoping they both lose. -- When Finn's at the hospital, I'm glad he gets to spend all day in his office. -- Liam's doctor is a HOWL! All she does is tell Liam that Steffy saved him while she performs as if she's playing a game of Operation.

I've read that JJ has storyline approval for Lucky in his contract. I guess that means he also has wardrobe and styling approval -- looking like a complete slob. This messy look has got to go, and JJ also needs to quit all the snacks he's eating.

-- Good show today. Better than anything we saw last week. -- Brandon C is definitely improving. I would like to see him and Smitty speed up their dialogue in their scenes. I think that would make it all much more natural. Brandon's acting tics (that don't work) are magnified when he speaks too slowly. -- I wish they'd given Tyrell something more "serious" to be bullied over. Chess underwear? Really? I can see kids ragging on that, but only for a very limited time. I don't see it becoming a thing.

-- In what universe would Audra sit and discuss a job offer with Victor after what he did to her? -- Only in Genoa City can a guy who looks like Chance have trouble holding onto a woman. -- It's absolute bonkers that Phyllis doesn't see how Alan might be connected to her kidnapping, but she has no trouble linking Ashley.

Lots of shirtless today, and no question the boys are looking fine! Paul Telfer was most definitely training hard when his scenes were shot. MY GOD, that body! I know most people here don't like RSW, but I'm keeping him on the show just to see those pecs. Peyton Meyer is sexy and looks good, but he needs to hit the weights a lIttle more to keep up with the big boys. I'm only 10 minutes in, so here's boping that Tate takes his shirt off LOL

Another day, another embarrassing episode. -- I should thank BOLD for my laughs of the day. Those hospital scenes were hilarious! The dialogue and the "performances" by the doctor and nurses were priceless. I have never seen chest compressions done that lightly, nor have I ever seen such a clueless operation. I am glad Liam was able to have the doctor in his room for his entire "coma" and was there to tell him "We're giving you the best care!" when he woke up. I'm also glad JMW got to look so cute in her short skirt and boots while she wailed at Liam's bedside. -- Steffy immediately thought about her most romantic moments while at Liam's side. Who does this? And all this time, she didn't have a single minute to text or call her husband or anyone else. -- Carter has to be the biggest, lamest wimp on daytime. His responses about Hope in front of Ridge were beyond weak. What a garbage character.

😂 Boy can keep walking stiffly if it means he's still gonna wear those tight jeans.

I'd be good with this. Honestly, the show needs to do a MUCH better job of showing us that Andre has camera skills. The photos he takes are nothing special -- and worse. Some of it looks like absolute trash (see that framed collage of photos he gifted Ashley). These people have money. Why do so many photos in their houses and offices look like Shutterfly rejects?

I co-sign this 😂 I'm willing to keep Derek on the show just to look at him in tight clothes. Did you see him in those jeans when Andre came over for dinner? Derek looks good in clothes. The show actually did him dirty in the first episode when they had him shirtless in that unsexy apron. THANK YOU for this! I think I just manifested it!

ALL of this is an improvement over what we're getting. This is a great point. There's no reason Smitty wouldn't have time to do journalism while at home.

Did you just start watching soap operas? Because I just can't with this.
