I thought Nancy was doing an okay job, to be honest. It must be hard to try and make it believable when you're going from being the voice of reason over at the hospital to screaming frantically when walking in on a comedic scene. It's a shame that Alexis has been reduced to such a supporting character these days. If Nancy were on DAYS or on a CBS soap she would be one of the leads, rather than the wallpaper she's become over on GH. Maurice, on the other hand, has no excuse for his poor performances. Laura Wright totally ate him alive in their scenes together today and Megan Ward's subtle performance also really showed Maurice up, he was awful. Maybe it's just because I hate Sonny and think he's finally getting what he deserves, but Maurice could have performed a lot better in today's episode.

I know Alexis and the wittle horror reaction was supposed to be the comic relief for today's epi but I actually got a kick out of some other things as well. Nadine's insta-ankle twist was funny. She looked like she was standing well enough when Nikolas pointed out that she couldn't even stand up. I hope they laughed hard while taping that because it sure was funny. Sonny's hospital harem and the Jason/Carly fans pandering was funny too.

Sonny's not a bad father because he's in the mob and it's full of danger. he's a bad father because he protected Kate over Michael. So Carly should have known he was selfish since well, she is too, and she shouldn't have cheated on Jason with him because then Michael wouldn't be in this condition since Jason would have protected Michael over any woman. Hmmmm poor Morgan. He's doing the best she can to be the best mother she can be is too confused to realize that had she not cheated on Jason with Sonny, then beautiful Morgan wouldn't exist.

I know Patrick was saying something sensible but what difference does it make since the mob isn't a bad thing?

Awww how sweet that Claudia took her guilty conscience to leave Michael a little something. My heart was breaking in two (or three or four) when she told the sad and moving tale of how she'd been a child caught in the mob world as well. Apparently the experience didn't prompt her to find a better way of living for herself. I know, I know, she's trapped, can't get out and it's her destiny. The life chose her. Boo hooo hoooo and triple boo hoo.

Will Kate fight to make Sonny be able to look at her again without seeing that he saved her instead of his son? IDK but I can't wait to find out. When Michael comes back all grown up and ready for college, after he awakens from that coma in several months, things will be fine.

Wishful dialogue on my part from Elizabeth Monday to Jaaaaaasoooon: So you aren't going to quit for me and Jake?

J: No. You can never really leave this business?

E: Can't or won't? What's the difference anyway? You're a lousy father because a good father won't sacrifice a life with his son to stay in the mob. A good father would give up the mob for a life with his son. Anyway, run along and go mope around, conjure up misty eyes a few times, and I'll see you in a few weeks when we decide to fight the danger together for all of six seconds until someone else gets shot and we have to do this all over again. I do love you. Use the back door. The whole world might be out front and see you and conclude that you're really Jake's real and true father.

I feel nothing for Carly. I wish she would let off from Sonny bc she isnt the only one suffering here. She is right in that she is too blame as well. She is the one that brought Michael into Sonny's mob world and for her to blame him for what happens, she needs to blame herself and Im glad that she is.

What difference does it make if everyone blames themselves and it doesn't result in any kind of change or attempt to change foe the better? The show is not short on heart-wrenching yet empty dialogue. Max is the only one so far that offered up some honest guilt since his only alluded to an on the spot decision and not some major life choice. Diane offered up her contribution of guilt but are they going to make it mean something and have Diane drop Sonny and co. as her clients? Are they going to have Carly acknowledge that Jason is part of the violence that touched her son and cut him off? No. So it's just empty gratification for viewers since business as usual is right around the bend.

      On May 27, Johnny spoke to Sami on the phone, and learned that Sami and Sydney were trying to fly in from Sicily, but were stopped by a volcanic eruption because the ash had grounded all the planes. As discussed on the May thread, ash from Mt. Etna in Sicily caused planes to be grounded in summer 2024, so Cwikly/Ford would have known that.  (I just learned that Mt. Etna has been considered "active" with intermittent activity since 2022.) Friday May 30, Will said that Sami and Sydney found another flight and will be here soon. Well, Sami and Sydney got out just in time, because … There was (and still is ongoing) a huge eruption of Mt. Etna that began very early Monday morning June 2 Italy time (which would be Sunday night June 1st Chicago time) and a volcanic ash plume had reached an altitude of around 6,400 metres (around 3 or 4 miles high) https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/mount-etna-eruption-volcano-smoke-lava-live-updates-b2761911.html

      Agree to disagree. Like first, love second. OH, agree, agree, agree! Legendary Featherstone, you're not dressing this one well at all. Petite woman with ample bosom, wrong clothes = awful  matronly looking ugh. I'm sorry but I felt hit over the head with everything each of them thought & felt for about 6 more days than I felt I had signed on for.  I don't know you well enough to know if you will know when I'm teasing, so I've just warned you that I am when I say, I hate for you that you haven't actually met Danielle before. LOL. To me it was just a natural take.  I have no problem going back & forth between those two focal sites. But, I am certainly aware that early on I had an expectation of being really into their having 27 sets & that has definitely not been the realization. And, yes, for now, Frank is still heads above any & all others with us & sets IMO.  Huh? Guza gone. I have it in my head that he was only willing to come out of retirement (and presumed mourning) for a "certain amount of time" to help get this new creature launched, but had no desire to stay & so was one of the "over-staffed intentionally" that we were told about. Of course there's been no official word on the circumstances of his leaving.  But, you might mean go with Guza as in a style, if so, ignore the last para.

      I'm so pleased we have such fan engagement about Dani. Reminds me of some other soap characters. I think it's because they are "polarizers" which is a word I may have just made up. They are polarizing on their shows to other characters & to story & they are polarizing in the audience as fans seem to have extreme reactions to them, love & hate, not middling neutrality, ya know? Well, it's a theory.  To me the human being you seek has been amply shown especially to two people & both more or less recently. Her sister bond with Nicole, whoa, has knocked me back & blown me away. And, with Chelsea, over her budding sexual identity and awareness. She gathered instantly that something was up with that daughter & was laser focused on her for several scenes. Then, for a third, she & Pamela have finally, also recently, been so real & genuine & authentic.

      Thanks, Paul, I did not know about his interest in the comedic elements or that he was one of our many people who came from the network! I have always liked Marlena de la Croix's writing, which is not to say I 100% agree with her. She's been a member of my FB soap group for a good long time & she actually posts, which I love. Recently I posted about an e-copy of Robert LaGuardia's SOAP WORLD that is free to borrow like a library e-book but on the Internet Archive site & I posted that at the time of their publications, all of his soap opera books were the gold standard.  She immediately posted about "Bob" who was her close friend & how much she still misses him to this day & that he loved to talk soaps & was also a nice guy, etc. which I was over the moon to have her share about the author & his time etc. like that!!!

      Just more RTD ego trips, seemingly his main reason for coming back.

      Thanks @Paul Raven  That's a lovely writeup. Do fans feel it was warranted?

      RIP to our hero, John Black

      I really wonder why they chose to write this whole ‘John is getting better’ part of the storyline, especially since we all knew what was really going to happen. And I hope we find out the answer someday. But as tough and as tearjerking as today was, it was also really beautiful. And the acting, even though a lot of it if not all of it was real, was spectacular. The flashbacks were beautiful too. I honestly can’t even describe how much I enjoyed today.  Having so many of John and Marlena’s scenes be focused on the two of them and their love story was the right decision. It was a fitting end to John and Marlena. And I’m also glad that John and Steve got to have one last goodbye after everything that happened. As for Bo and Hope and their family, I did think that some parts were a little unnecessary but I really enjoyed Bo’s dream and his reunion with Zack. The acting playing Zack actually did a pretty good job too. Everybody encouraging Bo to fight was really the right decision in this storyline as well.  As for the final minutes of today, be prepared. I actually have tears running down my cheeks as I write this.
