I don't think people know about his past at all except for Bernice and I think Robert. From what I've collected from tonight's episode, it seems like Chrissie just learned her damn self. 

 

@DRW50 how did you feel about the discussion between Chrissie and Lawrence tonight? 

 

That aside, I am over Lawrence OK'ing his daughter and grandson's actions. Bernice should've slapped the tar out of Chrissie for being the one to film her in the shower. 

 

Poor Pearl. I hate how she has to suffer b/c of Rhona and Paddy's actions. Glad that they placed her at Edna's house with Harriet. I wonder if they are going to finally address that happened to Edna or just have her live offscreen for good.

Bernice handled it better than most would have. Chrissie is pathetic. She's a child, and that's on Lawrence. Louise Marwood didn't seem to be able to handle the material - she just goes back to shouting and whining way too much. If Chrissie were more likeable I wouldn't care, but she isn't, so I do.

 

The scenes had their moments, but the show's refusal to clarify Lawrence's sexuality means it has no real impact, and instead comes across as offensive. Is he gay? Is he asexual? Does the show think they're the same thing? Why is the show so afraid to talk about sexuality when they're the ones who wrote these stories in the first place?

 

I think they will likely kill Edna offscreen and have a service for her. They're probably just waiting.

For anyone who watches the classic episodes - I'm trying to upload what of 1996 I have, but I'm missing most of March and April. You can find the Susie/Emma/Zoe portions of those episodes starting here:

Susie was a lot of fun. It's a shame she didn't stay longer.

@DRW50 & @Bright Eyes, did you enjoy tonight's scenes with Rhona/Paddy/Marlon? So funny how this story started off weird and is becoming so well. It is all because of the great acting of Zoe Henry. I swear this story reminds me so much of Maureen/Ed on Guiding Light and how it should've ended (as I've said before). I just enjoy watching Rhona take Paddy through the wringer along with the emotional toll it is taking on her. 

 

I loved Priya's hen party with Leyla, Harriet, David, and Kerry. It was funny when Kerry tried getting David to be the stripper, and Leyla and Priya both took at jab at David's supposed 'shortcomings.' I would've still been happy to see him glistening in baby oil.

Zoe Henry has been brilliant at spitting out the snarky, wounding one-liners to Paddy. Long may it continue. 

I don't understand what they're doing with Leyla. One minute she's all set to marry Nikhil, and now she's swooning over Jai again. Has she been lobotomised? And has Jai really changed or is he still a snake?

She only wanted to marry Nikhil because it was the "right" thing to do. Sadly, her feelings for Jai have been horribly consistent. If Rik had wanted to stay I do wonder if she would have fallen for Nikhil.

    • Yes!!! Mona feels  like one of my aunts, love the way she carries herself. Loved seeing Eva pop-up at the gambling place.  Monday was all around good soap. Can't remember the last time an entire episode held my interest.  Loving the fallout and reverberations from Ted and Shea-Butter Sheila's affair

      . As nice as it would've been to see Anita embrace Eva, I'm glad she didn't because we can squeeze a lot more years of conflict out of Eva, Leslie and the Duprees.   Lauren & Sheila, Viki & Dorian, Katherine & Jill all gave us good conflict for decades. Hopefully this follows suit. I understand the concern. Right now there's an issue of quality of black representation on shows more so than quantity of black shows. I'd like to see more predominantly black sci-fi, legal, political, supernatural or medical dramas over the typical who is sleeping with who. However, this is a soap, and this is what happens on soaps. White soap characters do these things all the time, but have the luxury of being seen as individuals, not representations of their entire race. Husbands/fathers like Todd Manning, Victor Newman and Asa Buchanan cheat, lie and swindle all the time but aren't seen as a commentary on white men. Black characters like Ted and New Dollar Bill should be able to do the same.

    • Even under the new writers, Jamey episodes are the shortest and the weakest A lot of people were unnecessarily clowny and bitchy today. There was a lot of fluff and filler too. And the dialogue was a little… ehhh as well. But welcome back, Kevin! It’s been a long time lol his return still seems really random but I don’t mind it. Philip’s actions make sense to me based on everything that’s happened to him lately and it could possibly set up more tension between him and Xander/Alex. And I wouldn’t mind seeing him and Kevin team up. I thought the actor did a good job too. Too bad that they couldn’t get Robert Benvenisti back though. I didn’t realize it in 2001 but he was hot

      And, we got the word that Arianna wants to come home. I’m looking forward to that, and seeing her relationships with Gabi, Marlena, etc. on display and I hope that

      As for Rachel’s birthday party… was Days hinting at something that we’ve been speculating about since EJ was shot?

    • Portugal qualifying was the only shocker. I'm really happy for Iceland. IMO, the automatic finalists – Spain, Switzerland and Italy – had the best performances. I love the studio version of Azerbaijan, but on stage, it was a disaster.

    • Randy (Doug's friend who works for Joey) -- Joey told Randy weeks ago that Joey's plan was to get Doug into so much debt that Doug would be forced to get Vanessa's real estate holding turned over to Joey, to use for money-laundering.  That's been the plan all along, which the viewers knew.  The only thing new is that Joey finally told Doug this. I think Joey is written badly.  I also think Jon Lindstrom is doing "Now I am going to act menacing".   But I don't really feel the menace.  It's too overdramatic and it doesn't feel like a real person.  Jon is a fine actor on GH, so I don't know what's happening here -- the entire BTG mobster premise is badly designed/written.  I don't know if Guza pushed for a mobster storyline?  Or did Jon?  (Jon wrote a novel about Hollywood mobsters). It just doesn't fit.  It feels (to me) like this storyline for Jon was just shoved onto the canvas but it doesn't fit all all. Monday's scene of Mona coming into the "casino" to check up on where Leslie supposedly lost money in the slot machines -- and Randy explaining to Mona that there are no slot machines, there is nothing but the card room.  I had to laugh because they had characters comment that it's just a card room and not a casino -- the show is now acknowledging that there's nothing there.  If they are going to do this, then have it make sense for Fairmont Crest residents to visit a high-end glamourous casino, and not a random room with one table. So what money is Joey laundering? A while back, Joey told Vanessa that he knows about her sexual philandering because owns the escort service that she'd been using. But I don't care...  I'd just prefer that the entire mobster storyline go away.
