Well they picked up for me today....I got Viki and Charlie, maybe not together but that will happen tomorrow.

There wasn't much for me to watch on the show over the summer, I did however catch it whenever Charlie or Tina were on because they are the ones I wanted to see with Viki gone, now that Viki is back and the story seems to be moving at a faster pace, I am really enjoying the show. There are still some things I don't care about, so I FF them but for the most part, I'm getting back into the grove of watching or having something to look forward to.

That said....I LOVED it when Charlie showed up at Viki's, cannot wait to see them tomorrow.

I really like Gigi and Rex, or I did until 1968. I still like them but they are currently way overexposed, and Farah is simply too inexperienced to handle this. Even I have started wincing at the faces she makes in the last couple days. I may side with Gigi over Adriana but Melissa Fumero's work in this story has been incredible (and incredibly evenhanded by the writers, IMHO) and she just makes FF look bad by comparison. Gigi and Rex need some serious downtime for the audience to tolerate them again; I'm hoping they will get it, because I've gotten awfully sick being one of their few remaining defenders online.

I still like Rex and Gigi. You are not one of the few defenders online. Rex and Gigi have plenty of fans but many who don't see the point in arguing the same points over and over, especially since it won't change anyone's mind. As much as I love this pairing I do agree downtime can do wonders for those who are still on the fence about them. From what I hear is they will be dealing with their relationship and Shane up until the New Year.

As for today's show it was pretty good with my favorite parts being:

Gigi leaving Bo the oh so subtle message of "what she is not going to do" :lol:

and

Viki and Charlie stares. :wub:

Does this show feel disjointed or choppy this week or is it just me. I can't seem to get into any of the storylines right now no matter how hard I try. Ray being shot fell flat to me because I don't know who Vanessa is and I don't care. Rex and Gigi can be good, when there not on every day. I really like Fath but I don't think she can handle this pace yet. I feel like the show is trying to wrap everything up into one neat ball but for me it doesn't all fit together. The scenes feel way too short to get any sense of emotion out of them and the flow of the show seems off. One thing that I always liked about RC is that he tied all of his storylines and scenes together so that when one exploded it would cause an avalanche. I don’t see how Tina and Cain fit into Ray, Dorian and Clint. Please ABC, let RC write this show by himself and get Brian Fronz another pet project.

It's all a matter of preference. I hate when they're on the same days as stuff I am really interested in. The more I see of them, the less I like them. But I feel the same way about a lot of stuff. More and more all the time. I liked Viki and Charlie today, for the first time. I never hated them, but I just didn't care. Today was good for them. I miss Dorian.

I agree! They bring a lightness and a passion and...I find them to be a reason to tune in. I'm watching as I type this, and I'm loving the suspense of Gigi trying to sneak in to see Rex.

I'd say she was 100% better than, say, Andrea Evans. But she is in that same campy vein. (I wish SHE had been Flash!). I didn't like her on DOOL, but she really is a lot of fun for me on OLTL.

Adrianna is a lot of fun now too!

How convenient that Tess is now hiding out at Todd's house. She's in perfect proximity for him to deliver and steal her baby, give it to Marcie, and let everyone beleive that there was a miscarriage and that Tess was responsible. Tess wont be around to defend herself bc of course by then Jessica will have returned and not know what the heck just happened to her and her baby. I avoid the spoilers but does anyone else have a feeling that this is whats going to happen?

BTW, loved the Todd/Tina stuff. They really should have been interacting more

      GH: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      By ranger1rg · Posted

      I still say this is Frank's way of saying goddbye to JJ, who brought nothing to the show and was a complete dud for his entire return. He's purposelY been given an awful exit. Is this all Jackson's fault? Most likely not, but I place most of the blame on him. Too many contract demands, too much working around his travel schedule, too many stories he refused to do. GH has WAY too many actors calling the shots and influencing story and hires. We've seen it hurt the show time and time again.

      Yeah, like others have said, Paul took it home for me today. We'd be so lucky to have him back for good.

      I really like the scenes between Dani and Andre today.  Regardless of where this goes or who they end up with.  For now I appreciate that they have honesty with one another.  There's deep truth and vulnerability.  More than before.

      date: Tuesday, June 10 | Gregori J. Martin, Cheryl L. Davis | Phideaux Xavier Andre and Dani continue to use each other for their own personal reasons. I mean, good for them, but the people they truly want to be with are not each other. Anita wanting the temporary passes revoked? Oh, I know that made Sharon mad as Hell. MAD! Tracy said, "Shut up! I'm in charge now!" Bill playing around with child bride, via Ashley... that was kind of cute, but I also kind of wish it were true. Sharon, sweetie, your ugliness continues to shine bright like the ugliest of cubic zirconia. And Tracy, your vulnerability is beautiful; this reunion means so much to you, and it's genuine. That's what I want to see. So, with Bill's right side affected, then his stroke was on the left side of his brain; interesting. Very interesting, and while it's nice that he is making significant improvements, more can and will be done. Rehab, huh? Will it be at-home rehab or at a facility? That's what I would like to know. I appreciate Sharon [finally] letting that ugliness fade and her truth begin to come out. That's beautiful. Vernon continues to be wise with his years and his wisdom, and his continued connections with his grandchildren, especially discussing the past (summer of '69) with Uncle Cornelius, I love this. This is what I enjoy seeing. Dani is catching onto Chelsea's crush on Madison, and I think she approves. So, Shanice was a physical therapist to start? Quite interesting. Wait, so Anita is leaving town? Why do I suspect she's going to come home to some messes she'll have to clean up? Notes: I've loved the muted, neutral tones that Tamara Tunie (Anita) has been wearing throughout, but then we get moments like today where she wears this vibrant pop of colour, and I'm fully in love. Karla Mosley (Dani) continues to shine in her facial expressions when Marquita Goings' Hayley is talking nonsense. She embodies Dani from head to toe, eye roll and all. Tunie and Clifton Davis (Vernon) shine together; it's a natural, old-school kind of chemistry they share as a couple.

      Yeah, I'm thinking that, too. It certainly would be one way to deflect from the embarrassment of being fired early in your contract.

      I was hoping Dani/Andre would get caught in the most awkward way possible. lol.  Shanice is now a PT. Umm...okay. Glad they are keeping her in the mix.  Anita going to Chicago. Is this a way to have TT offscreen for some reason?

      Andrea Evans was not on the show at this time.  A part of me does wonder if this type of story is just thrown in for juicy gossip and didn't really happen.

      No, it couldn't have been her. She left early 1983 (with an actor who would become her husband, and still is, as far as I know). Other names from the era would be Shelly Burch (Delilah), Brynn Thayer (Jenny), and Andrea Evans (Tina). But I doubt any of these were powerful enough to push the eject button on another actress.
