Those Sarah/Christian scenes were weak. It just shows what nonentities these two characters are. Erika Slezak was amazing today, and will most likely secure a nom, but hopefully not another win (sorry I'm holding out for MTS yet again, who has been phenomenal all year long).

I agree that Cristian and Sarah's fighting scenes did come off as weak. I think it had a lot to do with the writing. These scenes called for some actual emotions, and neither actor can truly emote those emotions in their performance. I'm a Cristian and Sarah fan, but I became a fan of theirs because they were simple characters in a simple relationship. I felt like they were a real couple.

I just adore Viki and Charlie, and that was just the most romantic gesture, just what Viki needed.

Huh, I thought that JB really nailed those jealousy/hurt scenes, can't say the same for DF though.

And I do believe I could actually get behind a Jess/Brody pairing, Jessica didn't get on my nerves at all today, and that hasn't happened in a LONG time.

Viki/Charlie are my favorite couple on the show and today showed why. I absolutely loved the ending, it was so beautiful. OLTL does something right that none of the other soaps do: create nice, gentlemanly men. Rex is a prince (well, he is NOW at least), Charlie wrote the book on chivalry, John's a brooding hero but would never disrespect a woman, Michael's gentle... the weak links are the loser Vega brothers, but we'll let that slide since they never have stories. I am intrigued to see where they take Jessica and Brody. I wasn't 100% sold on their scenes today but I was expecting a lot. I don't like how Jessica is such a know-it-all at St. Ann's, it's contrived. I've seen how people really are at psychiatric hospitals; even the "wise" ones aren't walking around like they've got it covered unless they've got a personality disorder - and I don't mean DID.

    • 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.
    • Maybe Vetsoapfan will chime in. He might know. 
    • 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.
