Zende is a Forrester, but you would hardly know it from this show.

I’m no Billy and Lily fan (and Victoria is actually absolutely right about her ex). But Victoria is so smug, and Lily should have gathered her today. It’s long overdue.

And they’re not playing it today. Just bizarre pacing.

He certainly can, although I know actors get promised stuff TPTB never make good on. Like “this will go somewhere. Trust us!” But what he’s been offered is beyond his capabilities. And whatever happened yesterday is both his and the writers’ faults.

WR was the weak link, even if he wasn’t as godawful as he was yesterday. Everyone else was on point, especially Finola but including Kirsten Storms. It did feel like a good classic soapy takedown (at a wedding!), but certainly not worth what we went through to get there.

Bianna coming with the HEAT...

Benoit Paire, y’all...

Is this actually happening? I hope they let us linger and luxuriate in Maxie’s despair for being such a fûcking idiot...

That would have been highly preferable to the tension-free stuff that’s been playing out on screen.

It’s almost comical! Like you see a scene about to take fire, and he dumps a huge pail of water on it. Even today, during the Sally/Kyle confrontation at Society, I thought we were going to see Sally go into full-on bitch mode after the commercial break, and it just went so... flat. It’s like clockwork.

That would be such a great soapy story yet progressive—ostensibly straight woman falls for her bisexual surrogate while her husband is away. Right out of Patricia Highsmith.

Are they gonna do an Abby/Mariah fling or not?

Why on earth would JG have Summer hear about the kid from KYLE, especially when Kyle had previously withheld that info, potentially leading up to a soapy reveal? It’s like he has an allergy to drama.

I’m sure budget/availability is the reason, but delaying follow-up to Charlie’s murder for a full week kills momentum. It’s one of the worst things about soaps in 2021.

I feel bad for Wes because he’s being set up to embarrass himself on national TV, when the writers/producers of GH should have ended this a LONG time ago.
