I imagine Claudia is the main reason Johnny is still on the show. Otherwise, he would be killed as he is a potential threat to Guza's beloved Spinelli, Jason, Sonny, Dante (if he ever shows up) and takes airtime new pet Ethan needs. They seem to have no idea what to do with Johnny, which is fine by me, as I enjoy this version of Johnny more than the one who was with frigid Lulu.

I don't think Claudia is what Carly was when SB played her. When SB's Carly was with Sonny, she wanted Sonny to get out of the mob. She also wasn't ordering hits, although seeing the endless airtime devoted to the nasty thug Michael, I wish she'd order another hit.

You're right. If a new HW regime came on board, Sarah Brown would be so screwed. Unless they pulled a switch and bait with her and Laura Wright and Bill Eckhart-ed Claudia simultaneously.

I had to LOL at Carly telling Claudia to "Stay out of this." I absolutely love Sarah Brown on GH.

Claudia/Sbr doesnt need ties to a main family. Nobody does. This show doesnt revolve around family.

Family ties happen to be backdrops. Shes tied to the mob, thats all that matters.

It would be fantastic tho if a new regime came in and wrote her out. shes the main reason i hate GH so much now.

Mob is EVERYTHING on GH.

But I like Carly away from the Mob. In fact, right now is the first time I am digging Laura Wright's Carly. I am even liking CarJax even though the way they have Jax saying "We will solve all our problems together, because we love each other and communicate and don't keep secrets blah blah" is beyond heavy-handed. Uh, we get it, Flying Anvils of Doom. Anyhoo, I don't FF through their scenes or SL. That's a new thing for me.

And I like Sarah Brown as Lady MacBeth. Because SJB's voice is deep and so distinctive, I can see why so many think they are watching Carly #1 all over again. However, Claudia is an out-and-out baddie and the way SJB plays her -- with so much relish! -- marks her out from Carly #1 for me. Carly was never this balls-to-the-wall. Prob because SJB is not worried about garnering popularity points with this character this time around. She knows Claudia is not universally loved. And she knows Claudia is psycho. A fun psycho to watch but deeply disturbed nonetheless. She cannot connect with any man unless it involves sex or death. She totally plays up the incestuous overtones of Claudia's relationship with Johnny. Claudia is great. She's not particularly redeemable but that's not a problem right now.

It will become a problem, though, when Guza decides that Claudia is a heroine after all and we all need to feel sorry for her so he'll throw sexual abuse or a sick relative or long-lost baby her way.

However, on a WTF Carly? Just STFU note:

"You know, Sonny and I spent years trying to rationalize the life... we gave Michael. The truth is, if you chose to be associated with the Mob, you need to be prepared to deal with the consequences. Sonny is. I'm not."

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh really, Miss SittingInMyExpemsiveCottage? The house Carly moved into before she and Jax who hooked up. So, who paid for the house? Sonny's money? Lorenzo's alimony? Either way you look at it, it is mob money. So if that's not association...

What a weird entrance for whoever this guy is.

i found Nikolas and Rebecca to be really strange today. I really like these two together, but I feel today with the whole "princess & prince" theme and the missing shoe to be completely forced. He doesn't want her to be Emily, and she isn't anything like her, but she was dressed as her doppelganger (not to mention the whole waltz thing was uncomfortable.) I found it to be really strange and I didn't not enjoy them together today.

      Between Gwen and Cat, the show often seems to side with those who cause lots of cruelty to Jack and Jennifer. I am half-surprised that the show hasn't brought Peter Blake back for more of the same.  I don't really know if there is a purpose for them in Salem now, but I do feel a sense of stability and rightness when Melissa Reeves is back in the role of Jennifer and back in the Horton house, in spite of...well, a lot of offcamera stuff we all know perfectly well.

      I’m sensing you’re not really a John Black fan from your posts. This has been some of the best soap Days has done in many years but you seem completely opposed to it lol.

      The John Black character has been a part of my life for decades. I like heroes being honored, however imperfect they may be.  I'm glad they are giving him a long farewell and tribute.

      Annie Dutton was anything, but sane when she was introduced.  She was very tortured and looked like she was on the verge of tears when she was first introduced.   While people, and writers, made it seem as though Annie lost her mind because of Josh.. I truly think that Annie had a lot of untreated mental issues that didn't manifest until her marriage to Josh. Sonni was also anything, but strong when she was first introduced either.   Claire in 1983 was a complete 180 from the Claire that we got in 1986... and I do agree that her character was degraded.

      I remember seeing him briefly when Rick went to confront her about her blackmailing him. (I briefly forgot that Rick's sleeping with Claire at this time was a retcon - or her lying that she slept with him, whatever that story was). I wonder if he interacted with Kurt given that Mark Lewis later took his ATWT role. I tried to watch some of the full episode and it was all so alien and uninvolving. Roxy having a meltdown on that construction site for Mindy and Kurt's house that never gets built. Ed with Ross and Vanessa dealing with custody issues. Even Ross and Vanessa seemed flat, with Vanessa seeming oddly meek.

      She did. It was during a party at Amanda's. She didn't literally throw herself at him, but she was subtly coming on to him and he quickly shut her down. Yes, I remember she not only made a pass at Justin, she convinced Jackie that he was harassing her sexually. She also tried to convince Sara that he was pestering her. Everyone banged Josh back then, LOL. Whoa. I must have missed a good chunk of this first time around because I don't remember Reva going to India.  What I recall is Harley being a nanny to the kids and then Reva driving off the bridge. Then they kind of toyed with the idea of Josh and Harley getting together but I don't think that ever happened. Yes, that all happens but I don't recall the tumor. Maybe that's coming up soon with the videos being uploaded to Spauldingfield. The last one I watched, she was planning to vamp Kyle while taking care of the pregnant Maeve.

      I am a little disappointed that the show will be writing Jenn as in the wrong for her not liking Cat, when she's actually in the right.  Maybe if Cat was played by a competent actress and had a purpose, I would be more behind this propping of the character. And I can't wait for the funeral for John Black to be over and then we can proceed and move on.

      I'm not sure if the boy Carrie 2 seduced (I think his name was Ron) was still in high school or in college, but I remember he was very shy. I don't recall her making a pass at Alan, but she did make one at Justin, and she ended up banging Josh. I think there was an out of town business man too. Reva thought Josh and Vanessa were having an affair. Vanessa had just been fired by Roger, and when Reva took off to India, Van started helping Josh with the children. He then hired Van to work at Lewis. She would hear him on a business call with Van and think they were arranging a tryst. Or they sat too close together on the couch, so of course they were hiding an affair from her. It was very weird and blew up really quick.  It culminated at the party Reva was throwing at the club to introduce Dylan to Justin. Reva imagined everyone whispering about her and then she dumped a tray of drinks on Vanessa. When Vanessa hauled her into the ladies room to ask WTF, Reva accuses them of having an affair, asks if Van's pregnant, and then knocks her to the floor. I do think Claire had a tumor. I know around Valentine's day, Claire is making passes at a young businessman (or maybe even someone college age), and Ross (Van kinda pushed her at him because she's not keen on Calla). There's also a young intern played by Burke Moses that I think she sleeps with.

        If the standard of play in the women's final yesterday wasn't of the highest caliber, that is not something you could say about today's final. It was absolutely fantastic tennis.
