Is anyone watching this season? Angeria, Willow, and Deja are decent queens, but the whole franchise really feels bloated, burnt out, and rote. I think making each episode two hours lends itself to a lot of flab (the endless maxi-challenge performances that take one bad joke, like a soap opera with flatulence, and run it into the ground). Daya Betty is a weak, obnoxious villain.

This guy knows exactly what he’s doing.

The whole cabin setup with Esme drugging Trina became about Cam and Joss banging while Trina disappeared, so yeah. And Joss gets all the good scenes of telling Esme off when Trina is ostensibly Esme’s romantic rival.

I wonder if they don’t want to shell out the money on an experienced soap actress for a role they barely have any use for. (Hopefully KM, et al, know their worth.)

I wouldn’t be surprised, honestly. Having Portia/Curtis/Jordan in their segregated corner is more their style.

I believe so re: Nate. I thought that was going to be the initial story anyway. Ashland and Tara conspiring to scam both the Abbotts and the Newmans and taking over Genoa City’s two major conglomerates. Instead we got this mushy, convoluted mess.

Is that true? Because I think he was shown having coughing fits when no one else was in the room? Unless he had a less serious disease… Jack and Phyllis made me turn the show off. Too pissed about this story. “Ohhhh Keemo’s letters. They were addressed to meeeeeeeee…”

She’s super cute.

I just hope we get to see Sprina kiss before SM leaves, at least.

Yeah, chemistry is lightning in a bottle, and NC and SM were special. You know it when you see it. The next actress might be perfectly capable, but it would be like recasting, I dunno, Marcy Walker’s Eden on SB and expecting her replacement to have that rare connection with A Martinez. It’s a tall order.

Well, that sucks, but we called it in that BI thread (if it was indeed her they were talking about). Hopefully GH’s casting team recognizes they need a powerhouse for this role and not someone who has to learn on the job. SM set a high bar. And her chemistry with NC was a once-in-a-generation thing IMO. Just a bummer.

This guy is 🔥.

Oh god why. The taste level of GH’s writers/producers continues to be in the gutter. Maxie and Austin should have been 86’d when their initial chem tests failed.

Oof why a good-looking man would have such goofy facial hair…

No, I know. But wooden actor + clunky dialogue is a recipe for disaster.

Joy took a little bit of a spill on today’s episode.

Her dialogue sucks too. My “convalescence”… so unnatural.

NuJordan is wooden. Maybe she’s having early jitters, but man. When you make Briana Nicole Henry look animated…

The Bell soaps, both boring in their own unique ways.
