Oh Kirin! He handled this entire situation so wrong. I've never seen a character become undone in an episode like Kirin has. Watching him dismantle his relationship with Vanessa and Johnny was painful to watch. The same thing that he accused Rakesh of being previous weeks, he had become. Kind of poetic justice if you think about it. Then for him to not take his dad's advice and to just run was hard. 

 

I am over Belle and the Dingles whining over Zak choosing Joanie. Get over it. I didn't feel bad for Zak though when he was upset over learning about Aaron's past coming out. There's nothing he could do anyways. 

 

:P at David coming back sunburned and with that hideous 'man bun.' I need him to chop his hair off again and never wear that mess again. It was hideous even for a sexy being like him.

I was really a bit disgusted at Belle using Aaron's sexual abuse to score points. That family is so toxic now.

 

Kirin's exit was so quick I do wonder if Adam surprised them by quitting. Either that or it's just the usual poor pacing. Stuff like how they dropped his relationship with Belle makes me wonder.

Zoe Henry was absolutely terrific in the double bill (a rare example of what a double bill should be - NOT the shooting or car crash of the week), with some cracking and wickedly bitter one-liners to say. Putting this in the same episodes as Zak/Lisa/Joanie just underscores why that story doesn't work for me - it feels small stakes and juvenile and diminishes everyone involved (Joanie in particular seems like a silly idiot, not the mature woman we saw last year). 

 

I can't help noticing that with Jai back and Leyla clearly still in love with him (ugh), they're transitioning her style to be much more severe and dark. I guess they can get away with the different styles because Roxy looks good in anything.

 

It was great seeing her with Doug again, however briefly, and saying he's the father she wanted. Warms my heart.

@DRW50, come hold me. I am so distraught over Nikhil leaving the village tonight. Can he ever win? Ever?!!!

 

The breakup scene with Leyla broke my heart as I knew it needed to be done and was right, but for once, I wanted Nikhil to win! Just once! Leyla is a fool for giving Nikhil up. That fine, sexy, sensitive man.... Oh the things I would (and could) do with him. :ph34r:

 

I am gonna miss all that sexiness!! :(

Moving on, why is Chas trying to get Robert in more trouble? One second, she hates him and demonizes him for supposedly killing Katie but the next second, she begs him to do dirty work for her. No, bitch. Go get Cain to do your bidding. I hate how Rob feels obligated (b/c of Aaron) to help Chas out. Ugh!

 

Rhona was the star again. When she went to Tess' grave, crumbled up Leo's pic to her, and then proceeded to step on a flower on her grave, I hollered! Rhona had me laughing. I think had Pierce not came a second sooner, she would've probably spat on Tess' grave and shouted expletives at her, but who could blame her if she did? I am loving how she is paying Paddy dust and making his life hell. @MichaelGL, as we were saying earlier, this story so has so many similarities as Ed/Maureen's affair story, but as I said, it ended correctly as the mistress died instead of the wife. I would've loved for Lillian to have died over Maureen, and for Maureen to make Ed's life hell, but oh well. At least Rhona is fulfilling that fantasy for now.

I thought he was leaving next week, so I was a little thrown. I guess at least he left with dignity intact, and Leyla wasn't trashed to justify his leaving. I was so afraid she'd have sex with Jai and he'd catch them. I am hoping that Kate Oates not rushing a Leyla/Jai reunion means the new producer might not go there. 

 

I'm not sure if you saw this but it's a pretty good interview with Rik about his plans.

I saw this on Digital Spy (nice to know that sh!thole is good for something).

 

So did you enjoy the Doug/Leyla scene (brief as it was)?

    • I really like your analysis.   This isn't about a stereotype of black men being cheaters.  This is about a soap opera in which one couple was regarded to be flawed and the other regarded to be perfect, but there were issues underneath the supposedly perfect one.     Very good point that they started the show in these early months with a classic  sex and betrayal story to get people hooked.  I agree with you that we'll see more aspects and layers of all the characters as the months and years go by.
    • Oh, I didn't know that about Melgar.  She's not a GH alum I particularly follow obviously lol.  I remember she had a brief period of relevance when she did that web soap and people were saying she was a good actress.  Not on GH lol, but that's for the classic thread. It's just too much of a friendship. They can be pals or co-grandparents or whatever, but Laura should not like Sonny THAT much.  And who in life blathers on about how much they enjoy one another's friendship for multiple days/episodes?  Lol. The part of the audience that likes Sonny (myself included) should know Sonny sucks and just accept it.  He's an awful human and I hate him 90% of the time but I like him 10% more than anyone on this board lol.  I don't need Laura or anyone in town to prop him up to me and I doubt people that dislike Sonny would be convinced to like him just because Laura apparently has horrible taste in friends and husbands, but I digress.  
    • I do not buy that. I mean, I didn't go by Laura for years to be somehow accepting of rapist Luke. Why now would I go by her about our favorite narcissist Sonny? I wouldn't. Laura has never exhibited what you might call good judgment when it comes to people. I mean, she hasn't, you know?!!! Think of Esme!!!! Technically it was the 2000s. 
    • In the new Soap Hub Says podcast they now refer to Bill as BilltheFixer. I love it!!! The moniker fits. 
    • I see people saying this a lot but I always thought both things were plot points with a specific purpose. Martin running for president (something that would've been years down the line) was just to give us an opportunity to learn about his secret and that it involves Anita and Vernon. Naomi's lawsuit was used to develop her relationship with Bill and highlight his health issue. Those cases are almost always settled out of court so I didn't find anything odd about that, it was all about Naomi and Bill. I do wonder if Mike might've had better chemistry with Jen Jacob. At this point I feel he's right there with Derek in terms of being a weak link. He's a better actor but he doesn't have chemistry with anyone. These are the two characters I really hope they get a handle on in coming months.
    • From the original report, via Variety (December 2020): ❝ The project is currently titled Pine Valley, named after the fictional Philadelphia suburb that served as the setting for All My Children. In the new series, a young journalist with a secret agenda comes to expose the dark and murderous history of a town named Pine Valley only to become entangled in a feud between the Kane and Santos families. ❞
    • Yes; plus, it's supposedly the home of the trauma Alexis experienced when they were in that storyline, etc., a.k.a., another recycled and redressed set. Wouldn't surprise me, especially since Melgar did the "GH Live!" episodes and those weird-ahh outros we got. Although, given that Melgar has been more aligned with the views of ex-Jax, part of me feels like she wouldn't be asked back.  Probably because of Luke, and if Laura accepts Sonny, then the audience automatically will, too. I mean, because she does means you do, right?! Right?!
    • Yes, Portugal qualifying was definitely a shock. I'm not crazy about the Ukrainian entry either, but that was always going to qualify for obvious reasons.  I was a bit surprised that they had the video message from Cèline Dion already in the semifinal. I would have thought they would save that for the final on Saturday.
