Oh man that was terrible.

GL is not going to be the same without them, and I was actually disgusted by them as a couple at first.

Clearly it is a tribute to the great performers that they made me love them - because the thought of them together is really still disgusting.

I loved Jonathon and Tammy as a couple. I wasnt a die hard fan but I am pissed that DK killed off Tammy. There was no reason that they couldn't have recasted that character. I just hope DK gets a good teen cast becuase with Jon and Tammy gone there won't be any. And actually I gotta admit at the end where we heard Cassie cry I gotta say Nicole did a good job.

The second part of the episode was darn near perfect. I actually got all quiet and couldn't take my eyes off the show. I didn't even bother to mock Pelphrey as I usually do.

Just one big quibble was the whole situation with Sarah. Why didn't Reva or Jonathan just call the police and force Alan to give up the baby? The judge gave Jon Boy custody and what Alan was doing is called kidnapping. That plot muck-up was even more glaring when Alan had the nerve to call out Jonathan on "kidnapping" Lizzie. That whole thing just bugged me the first half of the show. And it took away time that should have been used to have more characters have their final goodbyes with Tammy. Where was R.J.?

But once Beth came to the church and gave Jonathan the baby, I just became glued to the screen.

HOORAY for Beth slapping the taste out of Lizzie's mouth. That was a long time coming. Too bad she couldn't slap some good sense into her while she was at it. While this was pretty much Tom Pelphrey's episode, I have to give Beth Chamberlain some special kudos for doing her thang today.

Ron Raines was terrific, too. I don't know how he does it, but as much of a cartoon Alan has become, Raines always manages to save the character from going over the brink by showing Alan's pain and motivations.

I might not care for his style of acting, but I'll admit that GL will sorely be missing a WHOLE lot of energy when Tom Pelphrey leaves the show. Dude had some great scenes written for him, like when he was pushing everyone away and his tirade against God. And the final moments in the hospital room with Tammy.

Can't wait for tomorrow. It looks really good. I hope that they do it just like the promos... going back and forth from the actual old footage to the current actors re-creating the scenes.

When he climbed on top of her, that was a little over the top for me, even though I saw the promo for it, so I knew it was going to happen. Still, I was crying from hearing the moans and sobs. It was painful to watch and so good. Tammy mouthing I love you before she died, I'm tearing up just thinking about it.

And how about Beth in the church with Lizzie. That was the most amazing moment I've seen on a soap in the longest time, and it felt like it came out of nowhere. The intensity of the performance, her courage in bringing Sarah to the church and all of it, the entire scene was fantastic, and this is coming from someone who never got used to Beth Chamberlain as Beth. Brilliant is brilliant, whether you like the recast or not. There was so much happening in that scene, and the look on Jonathan's face...was that a smirk? It's going to be on again in about 20 minutes so I'm going to watch and tape it.

This was a great episode.

I watched and loved GL in the early 90's but since the mid 90's the show's gone downhill. That said, after tuning in the last few days, the show has finally showcased stories that make me want to watch again. I used to love Beth Chamberlin and she's still great. This show really seems to be pulling it all together.

    • Agreed. The Emmys next year are gonna be a pretty tough competition and I hope we get a Days sweep lol  Not only does Deidre deserve a nomination for these last few weeks, but I also think Paul Telfer, Raven Bowens, Carson Boatman, Dan Feuerriegel and Alison Sweeney have good chances as well.
    • It’s not about a lack of faith and trust in MVJ, it’s about a a lack of faith and trust in Ron Carlivati, who I think can be very sneaky and manipulative when he wants to be.  And, all that “He’s just a breakdown writer” talk never changed my mind about anything, because at Days, it was “just a breakdown writer” that gave us some of the worst episodes I’ve ever seen.

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?
