Like I posted earlier, I knew it was going to be Evan. The actor only had a 13 week contract and his character was so small that it was easy to spare him. I really wish it would have been Lily. Now that would've been surprising because all her life she had been the good girl.

I was hoping that the culprit would be either Susan in a misguided, druken attempt to avenge Emily's honor, or Noah channeling his bizarre parents and seeking Snyder approval by offing the man who pushed Lily to addiction again. Oh well! This whole denouement with Evan Walsh IV would be a nice way to reintroduce Greg Watkins as Evan III. Oh, here I go again hoping for something that will NEVER HAPPEN. I sincerely hope that Lily has gotten all the blame out of her system, and lets up on Lucinda from here on out. Her penchant for indirect responsibility is a bore, starting with Dusty being her catalyst for pill popping. If Lucinda caused his death, why stop there? Let's blame Jennifer for giving birth to Johnny. She along with Dusty and Lucy caused Craig to want his son badly enough that he swiped Worldwide and inspired La Walsh to get desperate.

I'm already on board with the idea of transporting characters to new locations faster than usual, but not when that means getting from the midwest to the east coast. Or maybe Aaron has Star Trek beaming equipment we haven't seen yet. Sophie could have had a cup of coffee somewhere and kept Hallie out of the cold instead of waiting in Central Park for the duration of his trip. :rolleyes:

Lily is an idiot! Lucinda calls her and gives her all the clues that she is in trouble and Lily catches on and then goes and knocks and yells at the door. Now that was a 'WTF' moment. :rolleyes:

So if Chris didn't harm Bob, what the hell were the injections all about?

Evan did it.

When it comes to whodunits, I have a very basic rule: "If I can figure it out, then it's too damn easy." And folks ... ? Even without the spoilers, I saw this coming.

Simple. If contract renegotiations w/ DH didn't work out, they would've had a perfect opportunity to bump off ol' Dr. Bob.

Yes, Lily was stupid today. Lucinda almost literally told her she was in trouble. And instead of calling the police she goes alone to meet Lucinda. :rolleyes: :lol:

I thought today's show was fantastic!! Having Lucinda Walsh front and center was outstanding! Just her facial expressions are golden.

Has Goutman being watching old clips on youtube? The ending of today's show reminded me of Lily being kidnapped by James Stenbeck.

Tomorrow's show looks even better. Except we have Meg and Paul again. :rolleyes:

OY vey....what a stupid ending to a stupid story. Sure, Lily and Lucinda were idiots today (it's not the first time Lily's charged into the middle of a dangerous situation...) but how stupid is Evan (with what surely is the world's longest needle...) staying in the hospital room? I know the budget woes are bad, but give me a break. Well, at least Margo got to act smart, not believing Holden's insane lie.

I don't know what to make of the Carjack situation. I kind of rolled my eyes as they called in the psychiatrist, and she laid the "Parker needs to spend time with both of you" diagnosis on them. I almost cringed, expecting her to order Carjack to move back in to Milltown and live together if they didn't want a juvenile deliquent on their hands. Don't get me wrong...I fully expect that excuse to surface soon, but at least it didn't come today. I did feel sorry for Parker today, Sam has set him up perfectly.

The baby stuff...*groan*.

Today was meh. The actor who plays Evan is horrible *shudders*

I know this is an UO but Lucinda annoys me so very much.

Yeah this was a bad set up. I was cringing during these scenes. I did feel sorry for Parker too

Yeah it was a bad set up regarding the carjack story but anything that gets me some carjack loving faster is all right by me!

"Go to DALLAS!" lol, I love that woman. And I agree that Lily was being stupid. I mean, how hard is it not to call the cops, especially when you know at least 3 of them, and one is even a brother in law?

I couldn't help but burst into laughter at Carly's reaction to the puppet on fire. Too bad she just didn't let that thing burn.

GH: December 2025 Discussion Thread

Ha! I thought of you when he showed up.
It only took him 7 months to run out of money. He and Jacinda really need a class on budgeting blackmail gains.
Yeah, I get your point. It's a shame both these stories are happening at the same time. It makes Lulu look like a weird helicopter mom that won't let her kids do anything even if she has valid reasons. The show has written Lulu poorly and tried to make her the heavy in almost every situation since her return so it's not surprising.

True, I remember in the beginning that Bea had a much harder edge (and was shown sucking back beers with Floyd). You could understand a little bit why Nola was embarrased by her origins. Later, it was more like she was unreasonable in her disdain for her family. It is a shame they lost their edge.

It's kind of throughout the entirety when he talks about manliness (and comparing himself to that of Bill Cosby), etc., and how he tried portraying Ted's love for his wife, and how manliness is what needed to be shown. It was multiple comments kind of equalling why he left the role. The 'host' of that 'interview' kept jumping from one point to another point. It was all over the place.

He never discusses exiting BTG. He talks about how BTG opened doors for his career but nothing about his exit at all. And the interviewer doesn't ask at all.

The issue is his description of his self-described "manliness", and how he thought women viewers respond to that ... but all of that is alongside the homophobia he expresses.

Some text-based soap websites have typed up and posted their summaries of this interview, in which they state that he says he'd never portray a gay character because his portrayal wouldn't be believable to the viewers, and that it would be better if gay actors got such roles. People hurriedly reading those unclear summaries might buy that as a support of gay actors and representation. But it's not that at all!
If you watch the video, there's more * emotion * in how he says that, making it obvious that he's homophobic.

Is there a time stamp for when he talks about exiting BTG? I skimmed but couldn't find it.

Marland would totally fit into that because his main strengths was complicate and complex plotlines with characters sometimes taking a backseat (His Guiding Light was worlds different in subtle ways to his predecessors the Dobon's (husband and wife team).
Bill Bell on Y & R also was very much into plot with character sometimes taking a backseat... and also he had a trusted co-head writer by the name of Kay Alden that did flesh out the characters (i.e Victor Newman, Jack Abbott, etc).
Brad Bell has no business being a writer... but he's actually in the plot realm and not the character realm.

Perfect example was the Doug/Vanessa/Joey story that had both of them slowly becoming ensnared in Joey's web with Joey using their addictions (gambling for Doug and Sex for Vanessa) to his advantage. Doug's 'death' with his son coming to investigate were the last episodes of Guza's stint and all of a sudden the son was sent back to school and Vanessa is now becoming pathetic without the cunning glint in her eyes that we saw in the first 150 episodes or so).
The Hayley bombshell was a great way swan song for Guza's stint. but the aftereffects have been a bit lackluster with Hayley since episode 151 with her making such careless mistakes (no way would she be eyeing Jacob's brother in plain sight, nor talking to Randy in public, nor being overly insistent on Bill drinking a special tea, etc)... and now this random chick that came out of nowhere.

I never really thought of the similarity. You're right, they are very similar early on.
Early Bobbie is also similar to what we know of Charlotte Bauer.
Beyond GL and GH being such different soaps, and the huge popularity of Luke, I think the biggest difference between the siblings is how quickly the show pivoted Nola away from a seedier world. Even after Bobbie was "redeemed" (which took much longer than Nola's redemption), her past was never truly gone.
Marland's choice to make the Reardons so nice outside of Nola also meant there was less backstory to mine compared to the Spencers. You had Ruby, who was kind, but also razor-sharp, a reminder of where they'd come from. Nola had Bea, who was the stock sweetie pie mother.
By 1982, Nola was moving away from most of the foundation of the character, and there wasn't very much left by the time Lisa Brown quit the show.
They could have brought some of that hard edge back in her second run, but it just never worked out, due to terrible, terrible writing from start to finish.

You’re welcome!
Hahaha Bell’s words on Kurt Costner has always explained everything I need to know. I’m sure Bell was very familiar with McCloskey’s previous work and in his head it might have worked, but between Bell’s admitted struggles and McCloskey being saddled with a lackluster terrible recast it was all DOA.
To this day I still believe TLW deserved that Emmy wayyyyy more than Stafford.

I had to laugh a bit when Amanda was rubbing perfume on her cleavage. I guess she wanted to smell nice in case Chris wanted to motorboat.
Mary Frann was also in the Tang ad with Florence Henderson. Polly Holiday (from Alice) was in the Mon in the Stove Top ad.

-- Ted gifted Shanice an electronic bird feeder? This guy has no game. None.
-- The hard right turn moving Leslie away from Ted and towards Marcel makes no sense to me. This just feels like another dropped storyline in a sea of dropped storylines. She was OBSESSED with Ted and now doesn't even mention him.
-- BTW, is Allison gone? Or will we return to her around May and hear some people say "Oh, these writers are so clever!"
-- Is Greg Vaughan going to recur the same way Cady McClain recurs? Because if that's the case, there was no sense signing him.
-- Still waiting for someone to explain Eva's complete outfit and jewelry change from one scene to the next.
-- It's sure looking like Bob Guza's departure is a big loss.
