New viewers would be amazed to learn how Jason once viewed Michael as his son and fought tirelessly for what seemed like an eternity to raise him. He barely even reacted to the big waking up. Not that I can blame him for not being thrilled about the little sociopath waking up, but still, Steve Burton didn't even try.

I really like this new Michael. He's a natural, and very effective in the role. I also like that he's not the traditional soap definition of beauty/masculinity. He's a very real looking young man. Another great find for Mark Teschner.

This is coming from someone who HATED that demon, Dylan Cash.

The guy who plays Ethan should be required to work on his diction. I found myself getting angry today listening to him as I was losing word after garbled word. I find that unforgivable really.

Yeah, I like nuMichael so far. I'll be able to judge him more once he leaves the hospital, but so far so good. I understand why he's furious with Carly for not being there when he woke up, for being she "gave up on him" and "replacing him with another child." While none of this is true, you can understand why he's so upset and so far this young actor is doing a good job.

Claudia..seriously.. how pathetic..

Olivia and Johnny, not bad at all. Good chemistry. We'll see where this goes tomorrow.

Question, why are Holly and Patrick so close? I know the connection with Robin, but how did they become friends?

Patrick and Holly flirted for a few minutes in the Markam Island story so now they are tight friends for plot purposes.

LOL! I find him incomprehensible. It adds to my dislike of the character.

Olivia needs to STFU. No one cares what she thinks.

First allow me to apologize if someone has brought this up before, but don't you find it strange that the young man who is cast to play Michael could actually pass for Jason Morgan's son? I know Carly slept with Tony/Jason/A.J. around the same time, but I don't remember if paternity was establish that A.J. was definitely his bio dad. Michael now has the same coloring, and eye color as Jason. TPTB could definitely revisit the baby daddy issue. JMO. B)

Carly did not sleep with Jason around the time of Michael's conception. The last time she'd slept with him was quite a few months before that.

I'm so happy that Michael is waking up and already trashing his pregnant mother and glomming onto Sonny, and we get a revival of the Quartermaines want to take Michael, they're evil!! for good measure. They have already destroyed this family, can't they give them a break?

The only high point is getting to see Johnny's beefy bod, with some chest fur as a bonus.

I don't care for Carly but seriously she stepped out for like thirty minutes and Micheal woke up, it's not like she just left him over at Shadybrooke or something for five years. She went home for a minute and Micheal is being unreasonable. She also had to be pried and bullied to leave him in the first place. Sonny is ordering Micheal to not feel things. :rolleyes:

Someone throw some holy water on me, I'm about to defend something written by Bob Guza!

I do think Michael being upset is realistic. For everyone, it's been a year, for Michael, it's been 5 minutes, and he knows something serious has happened and it was touch-and-go and the first face he sees when he wakes up is godforsaken Lulu?! Neither of his parents were at his side. I think it's realistic that he felt forgotten. HOWEVER, what I don't get is why he's cool with Sonny, because Sonny was also not there when he woke up. Unless it's Carly's pregnancy that has Michael's hospital gown in a twist. But that's not fair because Sonny can't get pregnant. LOL, I just realized Michael SHOULD feel like both his parents were trying to replace him when he learns Claudia's pregnant too!

Anyway... um... this show sucks.

Nice seeing Emma Samms, though. Wish she didn't have these ridiculous scenes to play out where nothing happens.

WORD UP.

He's definitely an F-D-F, but I would spend the better part of a weekend all OVER him.

      The funeral was not onscreen - only the Brooks returning home after the service. Not aware of any available clips.

      I would only add that Sam Ratcliff is frequently named in regards to certain AW comedic turns.  And, we know from Carolyn Culliton (tweet 2024) that Sam & Gary put their heads together & came up with that gorilla.

      Yes, Stacy does this both for early DAYS & early GH. I have written some for her, for DAYS. But just one tiny point & that is that she only deals with DVDs. I realize that is not the point of your posting but it seemed the right thing to clarify. I know that you know that video tapes is past, not present.

      Hahahha I think sleeping with almost all of your daughters's boyfriends and husbands and getting pregnant... definitely gives Brooke the right to top 1 place. Long live the whore of Beverly hills.

      CurlyQGrl has DVDs of some episodes, that they can sell, but that doesn't matter. What is helpful: they describe the scenes on the tapes, so you can read that as recaps without ordering anything. Doesn't really give storylines, though, which is what you asked for.  Here's the links anyhow. full menu https://www.angelfire.com/tv/curlyqgrl/menu.html GH page https://www.angelfire.com/tv/curlyqgrl/gh/menu.html GH 1960s https://www.angelfire.com/tv/curlyqgrl/gh/eps/gheps1960s.htm

      I would argue that Another World never played "everything" for laughs. Even when there were comedic scenes in some storylines there were other storylines that were not intended as comedy.  You give 1988 as the end point, and Mary was on the canvas from August 1986 to February 1989, so she must have overlapped with the despised laughs you are referring to at least half of the time she was there. I honestly can't recall any real comedy that Mary would have been part of. I don't think she was lighthearted about choosing between two husbands, MJ's prostitution, Kathleen's death, or even her son Scott dating her daughter Cheryl.  I would have said that the amount of comedy depended on the head writer and there was more comedy under Richard Culliton and Gary Tomlin in 1984 than subsequent headwriters. I guess there was an outbreak of more comedy when Cecile kidnapped Cass from his wedding in 1986, but in general the Sin Stalker wasn't presented as funny, Mitch's return wasn't funny, John's arrival wasn't funny, Reginald wasn't funny. The tone was serious even if the plots verged on the ludicrous. And maybe that's what you mean -- but I would make a distinction between intentional comedy and storylines I can't take seriously for other reasons.

      I'm excited for us to get back to a full weeks worth of episodes and also us beginning to move into the episodes filmed once the show premiered. We're already starting to see changes in the lighting and the way certain characters are styled. Of course we know this week we have our first recast as well. After the big Eva reveal, I hope the show continues to move into a positive direction and that we see them starting to fix some of the things we've all had issues with.
