I wonder how much longer Feliciano Lopez will play singles. He could go the Karlovic route, but I assume he could be a more viable doubles specialist.

Very interesting. I was going to comment that he actually looked engaged today. He previously seemed so stiff, as if he were struggling with physical discomfort.

Didn’t expect her to go down to a rusty Halep like that. I guess the second set was tight.

Which is totally true. For me, at least, those earlier eras were beyond missable. I actively avoided them at points because if I tuned in, I might vomit lol. To say something nice: I like Stafford and Courtney Hope together (today they felt evenly matched and played well off of each other). I just wish their characters’ feud was grounded in something more real.

That’s a hard one for me. Do I prefer a lazy, phoned-in era like JG’s current tenure or an actively repulsive one that desecrated the foundations of the show (IMO, like most of the previous regimes since the early to mid-2000s, especially LML’s, MAB’s, and Pratt’s)? Even if those eras had good performances from time to time and a few well-executed moments? Hard call. To me, both creative perspectives have the same roots, which is why Steve Kent and his ilk need to get the steppin.’

Mia is so forced. She doesn’t really know how to slot in this group, but wants to secure her role with quirkiness and antics. I largely agree about Wendy, but wouldn’t be shocked if there was some fire under all that smoke. You don’t play with Nigerian families. Especially considering that Wendy and her husband’s marriage already has that added hitch of her in-laws’ disapproval.

6-0, 6-2 was the final score.

The gut punches keep coming this year.

Another legend gone.

Mikael Ymer is getting absolutely crushed.

The Bell soaps (especially Y&R) used to immerse us in a psycho’s worldview better than anyone.

That was just my wish. Did anyone squash the idea of a Britt/Jax/Jason “Who’s the Daddy?” plot?

I don’t think I’ve been as irritated by someone’s hair since the worst of Dixie on AMC. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg of what’s annoying about him. NAC and NLG are great together too. Love the rapport between Spencer and Alexis. Jax in a body bag. Please.

This is trivial, but can Roger Howarth do something about his hair? That sad little man bun is irritating af lol. It pulls his face in a way that’s unpleasant. I’m sick of Ryan. GH never knows when to quit with these worn-out villains.

JMW was channeling La Flannery big time today.

They made a mess trying to make this baby story happen. They should have put an end to it early on and gone back to the drawing board.

I still think Tripp and Chanel have chemistry, even with him fully clothed lol. More than her and Johnny IMO.

^I love those tributes.

This guy is a stunner:
