:lol: :lol: I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or not, JP... but I do think he CAN be VERY sexy. When he's allowed to smile and laugh and turn on the charm. Unfortunately in Guza-Land, that's against the law. Murder isn't... but charisma is.

IMO, Sonny is only ever charismatic around Brenda. He's showed glimpses with other people since, but Maurice and Vanessa work so well off one another. I'm not a couple fan, but in this case, Sonny and Brenda complete one another in some strange way. Claire Labine was one smart woman to see the chemistry between those two, when they shared short scenes in the beginning. I HATE Sonny and Brenda as separate characters, but together, they have a certain Je Ne Sais Pas.

Sonny been toxic with ever woman since, especially with Carly.

I wasnt being sarcastic, lol.

Mo is really sexy. Sonny? Not so much. Its odd, but you are right. Mo cant turn oin his charm and smile and laugh nad be his sexy self, he has to be dark asngry broody and pissy all the time on GH. When i met him i almost died. Srsly, him, Greg Vaughan, and Tyler are just... yumm!

I agree, except Brenda is love all her own :)

And i do think what caught on well at first for Sonny & Kate was he was able to smil, laugh, and flirt for the first time in YEARS. Then they ruined that first.

I've never met Tyler, but I couldn't agree more re: Greg. WOW. If they wrote Lucky to be a little closer to Greg, then they'd have no choice but to topple Jason Morgan off his pedestal (no offense to Steve), because Greg's got "it" oozing out of his pores. I don't know when "brooding" got to be what's hot, but I'm so over it. Give me somebody fun and flirty and interesting and has no clue how attractive they are, and I turn into a bumbling idiot.

But back to topic - Sonny USED to be fun. Hell, I nearly fell off my couch when I watched the "clink boom" montage again on YouTube a few months ago, and Sonny's with Luke, all giddy before Lily dies. I couldn't believe it. I forgot he had DIMPLES! If they could give us some of that, Sonny could stick around. But otherwise, I'm DONE.

Sonny has become a horrible character, while Maurice has been phoning it in for the last several years. I think MB needs to leave just so I can see him do something different and not groan everytime he is on my screen. I thought Kate was going to get Sonny out of the, shall we say, "Mob Mentality" but then we're back on "Betrayal by Betrayal of any other name is Betrayal" storyline, and I'm bored with that. Sonny has and will be "betrayed" by any woman he's with because that's the nature of soaps. Unfortunately, as soon as Sonny hooked up with Kate, I was like, "It's only a matter of time before 'Betrayal' works its way into this couple. Sonny either needs to grow up as a heterosexual man and realize that women sometimes act unfavorably for the right reasons, or he needs to realize his destiny is geared toward a homosexual relationship with Jason Morgan.

    • I'm seeing some interesting takes on this thread regarding Dani's behavior/personality, including right now. Here's my take on her: I think that Dani relishes in lighting people up. I think that's for multiple reasons.  I feel like Dani has probably largely been like this throughout her life. And that she gets joy in dragging people whenever she feels like it's necessary. I believe she feels like this is her being herself. I think one big reason why she's particularly giddy right now is because she's able to go back to acting this way, minus the hurt she's been dealing with due to Bill's affair. She got in Bill and Hayley's faces after their affair/wedding, but she was miserable doing it due to dealing with the hurt of that situation. Nicole's situation with Ted/Eva/Leslie allows her to act this way minus her suffering like she did at the hands of Bill. I believe she does empathize/care for her sister but is also interestingly enough rejuvenated by this situation. This situation is energizing her and making her act more like old self again, minus the being hurt by her own's husband's infidelity. I think Nicole's situation is a distraction for her from dealing with her own failed marriage to Bill.  
    • Great episode, better than what the spoilers said. The gambling story was tolerable but Jon Lindstrom sucks in the role. Ambyr Michelle continues to shine. The diner and country club scenes were very well executed.  The Jan and Leslie scenes were very good! My favorite is Eva, now followed by Nicole.
    • Today's show was good. The only part I didn't care for were the Derek/Ashley scenes. I think they are bland together and Derek is very bland by himself. He is the least interesting character on the show IMO. I don't think they have much chemistry together. I appreciated Jan's reaction to Leslie. I like how regular/realistic her and Mona are as characters. Jan came across as very believable of being appalled and even hurt by Leslie's treatment of them and towards Eva in the diner.  Leslie continues to try and manipulate people with IMO her fake caring routine, only to show her true colors after she's confronted/called out for her treatment of others. I continue to dislike the way she mistreats Eva. Speaking of Eva she was great again today. I love her and I like how Martin comforted her in the diner. I liked that Vernon showed concern for her as well. They (especially Martin) will come around quicker to her before others (like the Dupree women) will. I also am glad to see her and Ted continue to bond and him behaving like a father towards her/helping her. He's the only one in her life who is fully trying to stand by her. I look forward to seeing their relationship grow.
    • Xander was screaming at Felicity.  He did do something wrong.  Felicity was clearly upset by it and Cat/Chad told him to stop.  That's fair.  No one deserves to be yelled at their job-and even I think this plot point is too preachy.  It's not acceptable behavior for anyone to do that.   
    • When Derek finally appears with only a towel, and his chest and pecs/nipples are finally shown, I say yes.

    • Now, actually not. That thought had not even made it into my head, so, no, so far anyway, I've not seen that. Haven't seen today yet. What you're describing is warped & I think she's feeling genuine empathy & sister bond. 
    • Xander was the bigger person apologizing to Cat when he didn't do anything wrong.  he wasn't yelling at Felicity whatsoever, he was asking if she possibly had given them the wrong order by mistake.  He was trying to get to the bottom of what was going on, but Chad/Cat were trying to white knight Felicity even though Felicity was being treated just like anyone else in that situation.   She was the one to bring the order out to them, and usually the person that brings the order out is the one that puts the order together.    I'm still getting a read on the Cat character.   I think she seems to work well when interacting with everyone other than Chad.   Perhaps the new writers can move Cat out of Chad's orbit into another orbit. Paulina has been written quite well the few times she's been on since the writer change.  I think Jackee is enjoying the new writing.. you can tell when she's on screen.  
    • LOL - well, Peter was included in the grandkids' section, each named specifically with their $100K trusts.  It must have been the abs...

        In Henry's will, he said it had to do with Hart having a chance at being a better person than his father, since his father isn't providing for him (I'm paraphrasing here, but it was about Roger).  Still a little surprised...
    • I'm glad the truth is all out regarding Roman and Kate's secrets from each other, and also happy Roman didn't make much of the letter forgery, because why would he even care? They are a good solid couple. However, not to be mean, when Roman had his little flashback at the DiMera mansion he seemed more like an old man that was lost. How wonderfully aggravating that we still don't know what the hell happened with Johnny the night EJ was shot. I can't wait to find out. I've my feelings clear on Paulina, but she was definitely written much more adult and Jackée even seemed a bit toned down, for the better. Nothing boring about either scenes for me. I like the little drama between Xander and Cat, for the newness of the interaction alone. AnnaLynne McCord is much better at material where she's not acting dementedly lovesick. Seeing that side to Cat was integral to remembering she's not a moron, and I am definitely intrigued by the heck could be calling her. Kevin Lambert returning is a cute little surprise. I never watched Chadwick Hopson in the role though, was he any good?
