And you know Im well aware that Annie is far from clean in all of this mess, but her actions are far more understandable than those so called friends of hers. Shes acting this way because shes lost it, Ryan and all of his crap and Ritchie finally made something inside her snap.

But the actions of those around her are disgusting, they are just sitting around doing nothing.....all they do is insult her and bad-mouth her at every turn. These people once claimed to not only love Annie but also claimed to be her frined. But the minute Annie starts acting unlike herself they flake on her and throw her under the bus. Yes Kendall, she tried to frame your husband...but so has Greenlee (and a whole lot more) and yet you forgave her. But a woman whose husband is acting like a douche, and is pregnant, and is a mother of another child your claim you care about...you treat her like crap. Im so tired of these idiots.

Babe, Kendall, Greenlee, Zach, and Ryan....ARE THE LAST PEOPLE WHO SHOULD JUDGE ANYONE.

Im waiting for at least one person, to put up or shut up. You claim you once were friends, well its time to act like one and get the girl help. Its clear shes having problems, so be there for her and confront her...and don't stop until you get through to her. How about they act like human beings for one moment and show her some compassion, reach out to her (and I mean really) not that crap where they say soemthings wrong and then go blab and gossip.

I hope Annie will be given the same treatment every other character in PV has had, and given a chance to be redeemed and healed. I want to see her pick herself up and put the pieces of her life back together, I want her to drop kick Ryan to the curb like she did when he first lost his memory. I want Annie to come out on top for once, and I want her to not be another victim of Ryan Lavery but a survivor of his so called love

If they want to let MCE go, well then let her, but let her go out as a strong women.....don't copout with this crazy bullshit. Yes MCE is rocking the crazy angle, but still surprise us and give the female viewers an empowering story about someone who has lost everything but doesn't lose herself in the process...is it to late, imo no. She killed a psycho, who was terrorizing a town, if she didn't im sure Zach or Ryan would have and im pretty damn sure they would have been praised for it.

Let Annie tell those son's of bitches to go to hell, and then leave with her head held up high. Im sure Pratt wont give us that, but im holding out hope that he does, he worked on 2 of my favorite primetime shows...so I won't give up on him yet.

I agree with lots of this but... "

Babe, Kendall, Greenlee, Zach, and Ryan....ARE THE LAST PEOPLE WHO SHOULD JUDGE ANYONE."

Yes. But... as much as I'm not liking this story, or whatever, this IS true to these characters. They WOULD judge her and not think "oh well I was crazy like that once so I'll ignore it"

ICAM! Kendall is the last person to judge Annie for wanting to get rid of Greenlee and Annie ripping up Greenlee's picture is nothing compared to Kendall's plot to frame Greenlee last year (even though imo Greens deserved it!). If Kendall really cared, she would try to get Annie help instead of calling her names behind her back. Unfortunately, Kendall's role in this badly written storyline is to prop Ryan & Greenlee and that's all she does.

The concept of Annie losing her mind and struggling to get rid of Greenlee sounds good on paper to me since I've never cared for the character but the execution of this story (no pun intended) has been bad. Annie's schemes should be less obvious to everyone around her for this to work well. I have no interest in Zach & Kendall trying to catch her.

As far as the rest of this episode:

While Erica/Adam/Carmen were the highlight of this show, I don't want another round of Erica/Adam as a couple. I say keep them as friends only!

Is Colby an alcoholic? She's been drinking vodka constantly for the past few weeks and imo she is. Drinking is not a healthy coping mechanism when under stress and the fact is she can't stop. I wish the writers hadn't taken her there but since they have, it needs to be addressed.

I don't blame Amanda & Babe for feeling overworked since it seems that Kendall & Greenlee seldom show up at Fusion. I can't wait to see how Pratt fixes this mess.

I'm tired of Angie & Frankie having the same conversation about her butting out of his personal life.

The Woods' family scenes felt flat to me.

First - Adam and Erica are pure divine!

Fusion is just one big mess. I can't really side with anyone here bc its so damn unrealistic. I work in the corporate world, so I must say that since Kendall and Greenlee are co-owners and CEOs of Fusion, they can take vacation whenever they damn well please. You can't just yell at your boss because you think they should be at work on a certain day. BUT since this is a soap, the characters personal and professional lives blend, so then it would make sense for Babe and Amanda to get upset at Kendall. Especially since Babe and Amanda work in that same room with Kendall/Greenlee and it seems like all of their work relies on each other's inputs and deliverables.

So we're stuck in a lose-lose situation bc its so damn unrealistic that you can't fault anyone really.

Oh - and that day Amanda went to see Jake at the hospital. Sure, it was a ploy to flirt with Jake, but she was hurting and did go to the hospital. She didn't have some crazy scheme or witchhunt attack against Annie. But again, this is a soap opera. If we were watching everyone work all the time, it wouldn't be fun. So its a Catch 22.

But I will say that if Pratt is planning on making it seem like Babe and Amanda are the "poor, overworked" characters - then that's a bunch of ridiculous BS. Amanda just got $5 million and a yacht from the Chandler's, and we all know Babe isn't hurting either. There is no way anyone would feel sorry for these two...they could easily just up and quit. Now if they brought in Carmen and Randi, THEN I'd understand.

Exactly why I said the majority of the characters on this show are incredibly unlikeable. They are selfish, bitchy, hypocritical people without an ounce of compassion unless there's something in it for them.

And that's exactly the problem. It's a horrible statement to basically admit that the truth of these characterS -- not just one or two, but the whole lot of them -- is that they're judgmental and immensely unlikeable people... and that it would be out of character for them to act like caring, empathetic humans for once.

Thanks, babes! ;)

    • I know Passions used this trope with Ethan and Sam to drag out the paternity, but GH seems to speed through certain stories while dragging others.
    • For any other soap, I think I’d agree, but GH, I don’t know

    • Agreed, that there was some strange choices in the episode, especially at the end, but overall, that was some great drama that opens up the potential for so much future storyline. Kat vs. Eva having the most potential, especially over Tomas. I have mixed feelings about Martin/BC though. I thought he did pretty well in scenes with Smitty/MM, but the scenes of him confronting Leslie and of him throwing the books were bad lol she acted circles around him.  It’s similar to what Harding Lemay said about George Reinholt at AW; he could be brilliant in one scene, but then mediocre in the next. 
    • I know some of y'all really like Brooke Kerr, and so I've tried to give her a shot, despite her frequent flat line readings and distracted "did I leave the front door unlocked?" facial expressions. But lord, she is so bad at playing a tough-talking badass that I was actually rooting for Brad today to spill the beans to Drew. 
    • Googling does tend to ruin it.  For those of us who were teens in the late 1970s and early 1980s, you can't imagine how much fun it was to watch the show in the afternoons.  (It came on right after school.)  There weren't any "spoilers" at the time.  We would always try to anticipate how each crime and each mystery would be resolved, and we were ALWAYS wrong, because the stories are filled with so many weird twists and turns.   The head writer (Henry Slesar) and his dialogue writer (Steve Lehrman) invariably toss genuine clues directly into your face in the most unlikely ways, but then they provide a host of "red herrings" to completely confuse you and send you off on the wrong path.  Once the story reaches its conclusion, all you can think is Why didn't I figure that out weeks ago?  lol
    • Does the vault have the original scene and not the short flashback?
    • I appreciate that you are using AI with the knowledge of it's limitations. Some posters take everything it produces as fact.
    • And of course Mama Ru herself appeared on All My Children.
    • The Saturday 8pm slot usually had the lowest rating of the NBC 4 sitcom lineup for some reason. NBC let Saturday night fizzle, They used 9.30 pm to launch 227 and Amen, both of which moved to earlier in the evening but they  kept Empty Nest following GG for several seasons.  Empty Nest should have moved to 8pm with their strongest new sitcom at 9.30, anticipating that GG would eventually falter. Instead they left them there and stretching the sitcom pool too thinly on other nights. When Grand talk over at 9.30 Thurs maybe Night Court and Wings could have been used on Saturday.
