I liked the meeting, too. Cody has some good chemistry with Lulu.

-- More Babies Rabies on this show? GMAB. -- I was happy to see Ric go after Kristina, but I wanted something more realistic. Ric was screaming in her face to a ridiculous extent, and the judge and prosecuting attorney would not have allowed that to go on so long before stepping in. -- Chase is in bed shirtless in tomorrow's previews. Of course, Brook Lynn looks like she's bundled up to sleep outside in Alaska.

Agreed. They've kissed and made up MANY times, but there's always another argument.

Add me to the list of those who think Genie Francis has been intentionally been sidelined. None of this makes any sense, not block taping, not guarantees, not anything. I think there's definitely something else going on. And why not believe that, on a show with sooooooo many BTS messes?

I appreciate the reach to make this Leo/Javi "relationship" a thing, but I can't agree with it. There's nothing invigorating about it for me, and I'm noT interested in the story that gets those two back together. I have to agree that RSW and JPL are both hot. Yeah, I know that this place bashes both of them, but I like them on my screen. Call me shallow. Neither one of them is a thespian, but this is DAYS, not Masterpiece Theater. I've been a fan of JPL's looks since OLTL, and although I realize his portrayal of Philip is problematic to many, I enjoy it. JKJ didn't work at all in his last stint, so I have no problem with JPL changing it up. THIS isn't good looking?

I agree. Those dresses are bad.

The episode opening with Leo sashaying into Marlena's office annoyed me from the jump. It does waste Marlena, and none of it plays as authentic. Are we supposed to relate to or sympathize with Leo when he needs therapy? Therapy he hasn't even made an appointment for? For me, there's not a more unlikable character on daytime.

I don't buy Brooke throwing her own daughter under the bus like this.

I still HOWL every time Ridge calls Carter his "best friend."

At least Trina is getting more to do than Joss, who's written lately as nothing but a talk-to.

Gio and Trina should definitely do the damn thing. Honestly, whatever it takes to get GM's shirt off.

George Reinholt was straight? I was fine with those scenes, except for the long and stupid discussion about how they were going to clean up. Didn't come off as authentic to me. Re: Sean Blakemore, I remember reading that he was cut at GH and didn't want to leave. The show failed him, as it fails so many actors. I thought he had great chemistry with Laura Wright.

Yep. The character has no soul. It's like bad acting on an old Nick-at-Nite comedy series.

I think you've pretty much explained how I feel about Leo. Could another actor do any better with that writing? I don't know, but I do know that I don't like what GR does with it. I don't sense any depth in anything he does, in any relationship. It's all surface, and I never get the feeling that Leo really cares about anyone or anything. Someone this shallow all the time doesn't work as a major character on a soap.

-- Tabyana Ali played Trina as much too amped up when she talked about Kai in those scenes with Joss. I know we're getting the typical meet cute cliche where the girl has to dislike the guy intensely in the beginning only to be over-the-moon for him at some point. I'm glad we got to see something natural in later scenes. -- That Kai and Dex sparring scene could not have looked more cringe. -- Chad Duell, of all people, was pretty good today. -- Seeing the previews of Sonny the Murderer AGAIN making threats like some low-level mob boss mad me smh.

I love what I know about Greg Rikaart as a person. He's a pretty outstanding human being. However, I don't think Rikaart is blameless when it comes to the character Leo. Yes, the writing is bad, as we've all pointed out, but in my opinion the way he plays Leo is also a fail. I just don't think it works.

I wish you were being sarcastic. MY problem with Leo and Javi isn't the age gap. It's Leo. It's the Leo character and all the damage done to that character. It's who he is and the way he's written. Greg Rikaart is good-looking, and I've said exactly that. I've also said he's not sexy and he's not hot, and pairing him with the new hot gay guy in town doesn't work for me. It's especially bad that this coupling has been rushed so they could hurry up and get to their first break up. Look, I love gay representation on soaps. Can't DAYS ever do hot and sexy?

Looking soooooo good. I am a sucker for big, thick quads, as well as that same thickness everywhere 😉

I appreciate JJ's lowkey acting style, just as I appreciated Ryan Carnes as Lucas. It comes off as very natural, and there's nothing obvious about it. Do I want that across the canvas? I don't. I wouldn't want Maura West to tone down anything she does, from reactions to line readings, but it works for Lucky because Jackson makes it real. I do think the writing has failed him to this point. Improve that and get him a hairstyle that isn't annoying, and we've got a deal.

-- I've already accepted Alexa Havins as Lulu. I wish Emme Rylan well, but GH was right to replace her. Her makeup and hair do look awfully good for someone who's been in a coma for years LOL -- So glad we're done with Lucas' self-flagellation over Sam's death. I detest nothing more on soaps than characters who blame themselves and make themselves the center of attention. -- Asher Antonyzyn (Danny) did more good work today in his scenes with Steve Burton. -- Will Drew be killed off? Based on this show's track record, no way. Characters we despise are kept around much longer than anyone wanted. And now Drew becomes guardian for Sam's kids? I don't even feel like CM is related to any of these people. He's not Drew and he never was.

I have to admit that I miss that RJ body.

-- I agree with you. I'll abide by the moderators here, but I never thought of weight loss meds as a bad thing or as something shameful. I don't see this as any different than commenting on an actor getting Botox. -- All the comments here from the last 24 hours make it pretty clear that GH is where potential goes to die. I don't think any other soap created characters with so much unfulfilled potential. -- I do not understand the criticism of Asher Antonyzyn (Danny). I thought his performance at the funeral was one of the best, and I was moved by it.

On the topic of sets....am I the only one who thinks that foyer at the Quartermaine mansion is a mess? I realize it's been refreshed/remodeled over the years, but I never remember them getting it right. It always looks like set designers are struggling to make it look elegant and expensive, and it always has a warehouse look. The most recent change gave it that awful wallpaper that I guess is supposed to warm it up. On a show that does well with so many sets, I can't understand why they can't get this one right.

I actually meant JAVI should have been the town slut for months!!! I am speaking for myself. DAYS had the chance to go hot and sexy and fun with Javi, but already they've saddled him with Leo. Speaking for myself, that's a fail.

Even if he hadn't been fired for writing Body & Soul, Ron Carlivati should have been fired for putting Leo and Javi together. GR is a decent looking guy, but he's not hot, he's not sexy, and he's in no way an instant attraction to a gay guy. Leo should have been the town slut for months. What a waste.
