Wright is definitely WRONG! I can tell she is a miserable actress because she has been able to take a character that I enjoyed and make me absolutely hate her! I look forward to characters I don't even like (such as Robin or Sam or Maxie) coming along and smacking Carly down. I enjoy when other actors are able to outshine this overrated Zimmer-esque screen ham! I'll never forget after Sonny shot Lorenzo in the head, when Robin Christopher as Skye DECIMATED Laura Wright's shrill Carly. Laura Wright tried her best to squint and do her ghetto neck roll, but it was no match.

Gladly. She's one of the MAJOR reasons why I quit watching GH after eight years. I got sick of the overrated, scenery chewing SHREW! Carly is an insecure trailer trash girl with abandonment issues -- not some Valley Girl head cheerleader. So, sorry... Laura Wright's incredibly horrid portrayal of Carly Benson can...

OK, well, this is going to be hugely unpopular. I hatedHATED*HATED* "Laura Wright's Character" ( © R Sinclair) for years. Couldn't stand that entitled, Dina Lohan lookalike. Don't know what happened -- I think it was when TIIC decided Carly needed to be away from Da Mob and just doing ordinary stuff with Jax and The Kidz she keeps telling everybody she would die for. Anyhoo. That's when I began not FFing Laura Wright's Character. That's when I began referring to Laura Wright's Character as Carly. I honestly think Ingo Rademacher (and lord knows he's no Gene Hackman) does wonders for LW's portrayal. It's like he forced her to take it down a notch or five.

Also unpopular. I like Claudia. I don't see OriginalCarly when Sarah Brown appears on my screen, I see Lady MacBeth in biker leather, biceps and chemically straightened hair. And I love it. Love that we're not told to feel sorry for Claudia, she's just misunderstood. Love her plotting people's death and using Michael and lusting after her bro and just being generally psychotic. I was very dismissive of SJB-as-Claudia at first but I guess I am a convert now.

Oh. And I also like Olivia. Guza must be spiking my drinking water or something.

Maurice "Method" Benard still sucks, though.

I also miss Ted King as Lorenzo and wish TPTB had given CarLo a fighting chance back when Tamara Braun was in the role.

This is sometimes true, sometimes not. There are a lot of enjoyable days and I loved the recent frontburning story for Tony Geary and Jane Elliot, but then you get days where Claudia or Spin discuss some pretty dull stuff. Claudia especially seems to have had the same conversation for the last six months. But yeah, it is way better than it was just a couple of years ago.

But there is no focus on characters outside of the mob. Sure they are doing different things with the non-mob characters, but Sonny and his kids, Jason, Claudia and their new mob war eat up most of the airtime.

Sometimes you get what you deserve and this is exactly what GH is getting in the ratings.

      Teach me to post cocky about all these rampant relations! As for the cut, it just made Leo Howard look more stunningly handsome. There are guys I think are hotter, but he's got the prettiest face hands down.

      Yes Arianna and Sami are blood related through Sami and Theresa. They are also adoptive/honorary related because Arianna's third.parent is Sonny, which makes Arianna and Tate related through Justin and Isabella.

      I saw more about Biden Old or the staged feud between Elon and Trump or just the usual distractions, but I will admit I don't stomach most of the news anyway.

        They are blood related. Through Sami and Theresa. I didn't notice it last week, but it looked so fresh today. Like he got cut minutes before they started filming or something lol

      Bill convinced the Governor to pardon Luna. Steffy was too busy badmouthing Hope & Brooke for most of the Spring to concern herself with such trivial matters.

      There hasn't been a media blackout, there's been live coverage on national news all weekend.

      There's been something of a media blackout, but beyond that the only reason it's getting any attention is because Trump and the Republicans and their sycophants in the press are trying to create riots to pave the way for martial law.  And of course all the people who care more about setting fires and destroying property than anything else are happy to help them.  I've seen more interest in people arguing about whether or not they should be waving Mexican flags and how American flags are tainted than I have in the cause, which just reinforces what a malaise we are in. Many who claim to care about immigration only care to the tips of their fingers, just like Palestine and the rest. But these policies what people voted for. As long as they personally aren't affected, they are eating all this decimation up.

      I was happy to see Caroline again even in one short scene. This was her first appearance since April 3. I was wondering why we haven't seen her, since Hayley desperately needs a talk-to aside from Bill.  I am also wondering where Jacob's partner is. Does Marcel have an opinion on Jacob spending so much time on the Laura case? Especially since Marcel warned Jacob about allowing his family to get in the way of police business. I liked seeing some vulnerability from Leslie today when she begged Eva to give her the helmet and gloves back. I'm still wondering how she will get out of the corner she has been written into. When we were first introduced to Leslie, she seemed like she might be a Machiavelli but since then it's clear that she more of a haphazard villainess doesn't seem to have a long term plan aside from causing random chaos.  Chelsea's desperation is cringeworthy but I actually think it's fairly realistic for someone who is closeted or newly out.
