For the frist time in 8 years, I remained spoiler free for a good portion of sweeps and I gotta say, GH did an outstanding job with the hostage crisis. Of course, there were the never ending scenes with Spinelli yammering to Stone Cold and Jason just stares him down and why did it have to be JASON to rescue everyone? Why couldn't it have been Mac, ROBERT (Where the hell has he been?) or Luke/Lucky? As dramatic as sweeps has been, the show still sucks in the overall scheme of things. It still focuses on Sonny/Carly/Jason/Sam and with the exception of the most recent Q drama, there weren't that many people who got face time this sweeps. Sure, the entire contract cast got featured, but unless you are a Sonny/Carly, Jason/Sam, Nik/Emily and Patrick/Robin fan, there's really nothing different than the every old ordinary GH episode. But that's GH for you. It has good ideas but LOUSY execution.

I'd be SHOCKED if Carly actually goes through marrying Jax now. What a pathetic lame set up for an S&C reunion. And they really got to tone down Spinelli if they're going to keep him around. He is as agrravating as Georgie's whining.

Still stuck at Wednesday (?) but the week has been very good so far. Looking forward to the rest...

Natalia was a riot. I was shocked that her co-stars kept so calm and ignored her because I burst out laughing. Man, this was some serious bad acting!

Kelly Monaco on the other probably impressed for the first time in like EVER. She was nearly good during the hostage drama.

But as Fee mentioned, the show has been good and very entertaining but it's still the same old sh*t - if you exclude the Qs this week. The whole hostage thing was about Sonny&Carly and they still speak the exact same dialogues since 2003... I didn't mind Jason as the rescuer - for once it made somehow sense - but it was really just another device to push favorites. I'm not sure if I'll continue watching now that Sweepstravagnza is over...

That was a great episode. I didn't like those 2 until that very moment. Unfortunately, I highly doubt the same will be said about my feelings of Jason rescuing Elizabeth (He was the one carrying her out, right?). Nothing can ever convince me they are a couple of any proportion!

I wasn't impressed with Friday's cliffhanger. It could have been me watching the TV with no glasses, but everything was just a blur, and that could have been because of the tear gas/no lights thing. Would have been much more dramatic without the choppy, film-like editing. If everything had moved in real time during those scenes, the way they teased us in the beginning of this story.

But this was a great sweeps stunt that apparently isn't over yet, judging by Monday's preview.

I just didn't want to see a big budget cliffhanger/explosion in slowmo. I mean, you spent the money already...

    • Oh wow that’s pretty awesome! I wish I had  approached him but there was so many people 
    • In the current environment, while it's small, there is a crumb of good news: Apparently, San Antonio voted for a DEMOCRATIC mayor, Gina Ortiz, beating the "right-hand man" of Gov. Greg Abbott, former Texas Secretary of State Rolando Pablos. https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/5337199-gina-ortiz-jones-wins-san-antonio/
    • Love this! You are both adorable. Wow
    • I have not gone back to watch much of 1987, but from what I've seen lately, it doesn't feel like the writers or producers had any sort of plan. The show feels as if it's constantly in flux.  I will give it credit for this. It's watchable for the most part minus Lisa/Jamie which I find nearly unwatchable now.   I don't find Cheryl mousy. I think she has a lot of quiet strength, but she was saddled with the Scott romance which the writers did not invest in. She had a good friendship with Julie (also criminally underused), and her interactions with Ada were enjoyable as well. I also like Layman, but Spencer was extremely talented and when Cass returns, Schnetzer and Spencer have some wonderful scenes. Spencer also fits in with Alexander, Hogan, and Marie.  I'd forgotten just how much I missed seeing Wallingford. IT was so good to see him again. Even when they didn't have a major plot, Felicia/Cass/Wallingford/Mitch always brings a smile to my face.

    • NBC must have been grateful to have LHOTP, it's only hit and still strong after several seasons. Their next established show was Rockford Files at 45th. They didn't develop any comedies and relied on movies and mini series  which didnt establish viewer loyalty and habits. Their only new hit was mid season's Project UFO which debuted Feb up against Rhoda/On Our Own on CBS and How the West Was Won on ABC. It opened with a strong 36 share beating CBS and close to ABC as HTWWW had a 36 share over 3 hours. The next week UFO saw a respectable 32 share, then a 31 so it was slipping. A 28 share followed but a few weeks later it jumped back up to a 34. So no blockbuster but compared to what else they had, there was potential, So next season NBC sent it to Thursday up against Mork and The Waltons and it bombed.  They were smart to see potential in Chips, which took off on Saturdaysnext season. ABC was on a roll with Love Boat, 3's Company, Taxi, Eight is Enough adding to their hits. Their only real flops were Redd Foxx and San Pedro Beach Bums, an Aaron Spelling misfire. Like Redd Foxx, Harvey Korman was lured to ABC but his series was a filler that did well but was considered a time slot hit. Nancy Walker and Rob Reiner were also given series on the philosophy that not only were they popular names, their absence from popular shows like Sanford, Rhoda and All in the Family might weaken those shows. CBS were relying on old favorites. Betty White was strong the first few weeks then faded. Incredible Hulk was their strongest newbie. It was lucky for CBS that NBC was doing so badly or else some of their weaker shows would have really suffered.
    • That outfit looks like something Martin would wear lol.
