no and I thought I missed an episode bc the show opened up with the hotel explosion and then 16 hours earlier with Liz, Lucky and the family welcoming Nickolas back at the hospital. I wonder if they cut some scenes bc the editing transition between the shows didnt flow right

Oh crap... and I was getting happy to see it... :(

How could they leave that out?! I mean, it's kinda ridiculous that he's asking her to marry him now at this point, when she just filed for divorce, but she was so adorable yesterday and I wanted them to get back together!

The beginning was good but after that...boring and same old GH. I was LMAO when Patrick made it all the way home from Vegas in what I thought was supposed to be an hour. Maybe I am wrong.

I was also mad because I was very much into Lucky/Liz yesterday and today they didn't even pick up from the proposal. Maybe I missed something because I was in and out but still listening in the kitchen.

In any event, I wasn't impressed but it's only beginning. The intro was good so, hopefully, when we get to the hours just before the explosion it will get better.

After all the buildup and publicity, the opening was disappointing to say the least. That intro was far too long... it's too early to say how they could have done it better, but I think a series of several very brief vignettes would have served the show better than the intro they used. It didn't do much at all to pique my curiosity. And the rest of the episode killed it altogether. What a downer

I'm still on the fence. While I LOVED the opening scene(after I watched it a second time, cuz I thought I'd missed an eppy or something), the rest didn't live up to much. There were some nice moments though.

Loved the stuff between Carly and Alexis.....

tired of the drunk female doctors....is that all the story they're good for?

hate the Robin/Patrick story right now, which really makes me angry. I love these two, but I'm just no feelin' them right now.

Can't wait to see how the rest of this '24' thing pans out....

I watched and while I disagree that GH is great, I do see a big improvement in the balance of the show. I still hate that vets are usually for sweeps stunts, we know thats the only reason Scotty is back. Of course they'll sacrifice a few vets for this as well.

One big problem I have is the praise for this idea. How can you ADMIT to copying 24 and call it original, groundbreaking tv? Hell, ANY soap is basically told in real time so I don't see whats so special about this. So they briefly flash forwarded to 16 episodes later, I don't get it. I'm sure it'll be "exciting" and full of action packed stunts, but this is the same poor storytelling GH has been telling.

Why can't they be original for a change? Why must everything be a copy of something else? And why all the sweeps stunts? GH is *so* predictable. And Laura Wright's Carly still sucks, I have never disliked Carly this much. I never thought I'd miss Tamara Braun.

    • 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.)
    • Andrew sure has hard nips.
    • 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?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
    • Okay, why are Paulina and Abe sleeping like that?!  I'd take a screen grab if I wasn't lazy, but come on.
