LoL @ vicious Belle tossing that coffee in Crystal's face! She did it to Phillip last year, too... around the same time, no?

The scenes on the pier with Bo holding Rob at gunpoint as Rob held Claire in his arms (with a gun, no less) were intense! Belle falling into the icy river and then being pronounced "dead" was a surprise, too. I forgot that was supposed to happen, and for some reason I was still shocked when they said that she was "gone." For a moment, I was thinking that maybe they were faking Belle's death to get her away to wherever Crystal and Rob were taking her.

John and Marlena... so good! Deidre and Drake are awesome. Drake is very subtle in his performances, IMO. And Deidre looks gorgeous today!

The background theme they're playing for John and Marlena is gorgeous! Anyone know which one I'm talking about? It was the gorgeous theme that played during the scene where Marlena found John in Rolf's laboratory. It was the first time I'd ever heard it. And then they played it again today, in the same segment where Marlena was showing John pictures of Brady/Belle/Claire.

The gorgeous violin cue that gives you a sense of angst and longing, followed by a wooden flute sounding "mysterious" cue that reminds me of something from Alice in Wonderland, for some reasons.

Both times I've heard it, it's been during a key John & Marlena scene... nothing else. Is this their new theme? I certainly hope so, because it's gorgeous!

Maybe Days is going to give each couple their own themesong again. One can hope...

Delicious episode today!

Today was superb.

I agree completely about the music during the J&M scenes. They are playing it so often that has to be a new theme. There is two themes I think. You have the one that I guess is played for Pawn John. It played whenever John was roaming around or Stefano was with him in the mansion. Then, we have the theme that played when Marlena found him and now plays in their key scenes. It's emotional and really adds punch. Love it and it sure sounds like their new theme. I hope they do that for all the couples because that is what added alot to the 80's. Marty Davich was remarkable then. Good scenes and I loved the subtlety Drake and Dee are bringing. I love "Pawn John" and his snark and how Marlena reacted when he called her "doc." Awesome stuff, especially that touching end.

The pier scenes were intense. I am loving Crystal and Rob. Martha really brought it today too. I liked the buildup too with all the tension between Shawn and Philip and how they kept coming together in the beginning and at the end of the episode to save Belle and Claire. Loved how realistic and intense it was from Belle throwing the coffee at Crystal and whacking her (similar to the Philip scene last year but this one looked like it hurt more) to the pier scenes. The police being led by Bo was so realistic and the way Ron just ripped Claire away and held the gun...excellent direction. The scuffle that ended with Belle in the water was well done too. Everything was played out very well and, for once, the whole "she is dead and brought back to life" BS did not end up over the top. It worked and Jay Johnson rocked that scene. Very good drama.

Very good episode as the roll continues.

And then I too thought that the paramedics were working for C.B. Dimera when Belle "died." LOL I agree, it go so intense when Rob grabbed Claire. I was on the edge of my seat. Great action here.

Weren't J/M just awesome today!! I loved their scenes so much I think I'm going to type up their dialogue. LOL

John: "You're hot, use it." LOL

Deidre :wub: So gorgeous.

I think it is their new theme because they played it almost all of their scenes today. I love it too. It's so haunting and like you said, it gives you the sense of angst and longing - perfect description, Kenny. :)

Word! Just fantastic today!!

      GH: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      I do get your point about the Q's stuff with Lois back in the day.  I will say there were a lot more Quartermaines and a lot more stupid, corrupted plotting in the 90's.  I think the show went out of their way to make Lois seem almost naive, unprepared for such an insane family The whole idea that Lois had to move far away from Ned and PC to raise Brook Lynn was a bit flimsy for me as well.  I mean, no judgement, but BLQ still got knocked up as a teenager lol.  I appreciated Lois was also hard on Sonny back then.  Lois could clearly see his flaws even if she loved him. Yeah, Sonny, Carly and Jason don't really deserve human connections with anyone but themselves lol.  I always have wondered if the show did want to re-pair Jason/Sam and whatever happened with Kelly happened.

      I might've somehow missed it but what happened to Jacob's partner Detective Marcel Malone? And Jacob's shiny bald headed daddy Chief Elon Hawthorne as well?

      Agree to disagree. I think both Jason & Carly do human connecting pretty much all the time. Sonny is different. And I think Jason's return is pretty clear. It was, and is, about Jason's capacity for self-sacrifice & his capacity to dedicate himself to a thing or person or whatever in a very singular, possibly even extreme way. Steve has tried to make the point to fans that Jason would have possibly done this for other people, not just for Carly. If I try to follow that to some conclusion, I ask myself who? Danny? Yes. Jake? Yes. Sonny? Yes. Sam? I'm not sure. Liz? I think so,  probably. Monica? Definitely.  Any other Q? No. Spinelli? Strong maybe.  What do you think?  One thing that helps me think about it is the speech he gave when he talked about getting the new ink. (tatooed arm) Valerie Cooper? Or Spencer?

      B&B: Old/Classic Discussion & Articles

      By boldau · Posted

      After Season 1 they jumped to Season 25. I queried why but they didn’t reply. They’ve also added the episodes to their on-demand section too (as well as live streaming them)  Oddly, some S25 episodes are the longer 21-22 minute edit used for international distribution, but the majority appear to be the shorter US edit. They also blur out the B&B web-address at the end of the credits which I can’t fathom why. They’re also very diligent in ensuring the ‘BBL Distribution’ slide is cut from the very end too - there’s an abrupt fade out of the music which typically would overlay into the distribution credit.

      Did anyone see this? It was really good and far more important to the future of the MCU than people expected. The fact is its not a Thunderbolts film but stealth

      A lot of very interesting commentary, thanks! Thoughtful, considered, etc.  I found myself chuckling since as a current fan of GH one thing we lack is romance. Here, you're complaining about too much. I sure get it when it manifests as Fight about G, make up, Fight About G again. That's a stuck couple, right? Who needs it?!!!  Wrong Donna, yeah, sorry, it has to be survived. The Right Donna DOES return.  Criticisms of Felicia Gallant .... No comment.

      Brooke was a commercial mainstay back in the day.. she probably made more money and treated better doing that then how she was sort of treated by the show during her time on the show. Ironically.. Kelly was born and raised in the Chicago suburbs

      I am probably veering more toward the classic thread, but I felt like her original run had her more as a moral voice for the Quartermaines than was needed (I thought her connections with Sonny and Brenda made more sense).  Sonny, Carly and Jason are all suffering the consequences of being too prominent for too long. They are above any relationships due being unable to form human connections. I do still wonder just what their original plans were for Jason this time, if they even had any.

      Perhaps Lujack/Beth should have been the other couple involved in that location story with Tony/Annabelle instead of Claire/Fletcher or Jim.   Since Lujack was a Spaulding, the whole fallout could have caused him to further distance himself from having anything to do with Spaulding and Alexandra and as a result, pushes Beth away and potentially back in Phillip's direction. Out of the three Pam Long major mystery/action stories in her first stint.. the fishing mystery story was probably the best... although I did kind of enjoy parts of Infinity and the cabin mystery stories as well.
