Wow, no urge to discuss today's show at all from anyone until now? Nice.

Seriously, the only reason why I'm starting this is because they had the gall to name the dayplayer ConFusion bartender JOSH. Assholes.

And also, can they please write in a new love interest for Petey? Recast Lily.

Hey Liza, it's NOT your baby. Im really not feeling her freaking out over losing this baby that was never hers to claim. Blackmailing in order to take another person's child would have made her a baby thief. I cant beleive she had the gall to be mad that David ruined her chances at keeping this baby. She gets no sympathy from me .

What do you think the baby should be called? Im hoping Amanda names him Trevor Jacob Martin. Trevor to honor her father, and Jacob for Jake, who has stood by her the entire time

Not feeling the Annie/Adam kiss

Good lord, please dont tell me that was Greenlee at the end

That would be a pretty good, solid name, but isn't Jake supposed to be a nickname for Joseph, hence why he used to be "Joey" until the mid-1990s? Either way, I love informal touches, so just making the baby's middle name "Jake" would work for me.

Or, they could go down the tried and true soap opera method of naming the kid after the mother's maiden name. Dillon Jacob Martin?

ETA: Also, today just confirmed the fact that, whether I'm watching the Emmys or not this year, I will be rooting for Vincent and Melissa to win.

yes Joseph is his given name, but no one calls him that or Joey anymore. Jacob sounds more like Jake, which is what he goes by now

Im really not a fan of soap kids getting their mother's maiden names as first name but it wouldnt surprise me...lol. Dillon at least is normal. I cant beleive Y&R named Lauren's kid, Fenmore

Not end of story. Amanda needs a DNA test. She only assumed the baby wasnt JR's bc of the timing. She didnt really consider Jake. 9 months ago, she was sleeping with Jake in October. She didnt touch David till November. I think when its all done, baby will be revealed to be Jakes

Chrishell and Vincent really owned the show today! As much as I enjoy seeing David suffer, Vincent had me actually feeling sorry for him.

Adam/Annie finally!!! I'm so ready for these two to become a couple.

Who buys a Christmas present in February? Greenlee's gift to Ryan struck me as dumb and I'm disappointed that Nurse Gail is taking care of her. Why couldn't it have been Dixie or Leo instead?

Luner's scenes with Tad the past couple of days have been great. She really became Liza for me a few weeks ago when she shared scenes with Tad, Marian and Adam. Liza also has excellent chemistry with Zach so hopefully she can block Kendall's inevitable reunion with him for a few more months.

Lunar's been tearing it up too! She was great with both Tad and Zach today.

Is MEK finally losing weight? His face is slimmer.

I'm feeling for David too - it's so wrong to sit there and tell him his baby is dead, even though he's done horrible things to these people. At least Amanda is soooo hurt, torn, and upset by it all - Jake is just ho-hum.

Finally nice to see Taylor again! She seemed pretty happy to see Tad...

OH! And that ending with Nurse Gail and the mystery person! Whaaaat! Surely they wouldn't do a scene like that without really expecting the character to return.

Oh, hell. If this is what they're setting up then I'm done with this crap. Jake and Amanda will be added to my FF Couples list permanently. Hooking Amanda up with Jake ruined her for me as it is. No matter how much Chrishelle allegedly "ROCKED" it, it's always a mess to hinder a "free spirit" with a husband and a baby. Especially if it's a Martin.

Every scene she has with Zach that I've seen involves sleaze.

I wish they hadn't had to put Adam/Annie together romantically. I don't buy that and I think it adds an unpleasant edge. I would have rather he seen her as the one daughter figure who actually cared about him.

I wish this didn't reek of sucking. There's two problems that stand out for me here:

1. The story makes Adam look dumb. He's been so great with Erica and to go from that to dumb is not so endearing.

2. Annie still comes off sort of crazy, not slick bitch "crazy," but this is almost like a child-like crazy. I'm one of those who were put off by Aidan sexing up a woman who wasn't mentally well, well as this gets into more and more "sugar" that also becomes an issue here.

Pratt has a lot of crazy ideas (and some good ones, and some bad ones) that could be saved by being written well but he has such bad follow through. I said this a long time ago, he writes like he's very hyper - he can't focus long enough to write something with true depth and thought. The depth and thought that would make almost anything work even those shocking things (and the bad things and the good things, of course) he comes up with.

    • Lois and Gloria did the right thing I feel knowing it was Camila that raised Gio has BL feeling some jealousy No one is saying that Camila was a bad mother to Gio I believe it will be Gio saying that Camila was great to him, thanking Lois and Gloria to get BL to see truth
    • Its realistic for Dani and  true of how the character thinks and operates. We've known her long enough to by that this would be consistent with her past characterizatioin
    • Random takes: - What was even the point of that jeweler guy? Also—Dani was borderline harassing him. - I know I’m probably in the minority here, but I want Jacob and Kat to happen. I need something messy to completely dismantle the Duprees—and Katomas just isn’t cutting it.  - I officially can’t stand Jacob and his wife. Same goes for Anita and Vernon. - Hayley’s corset was just as ugly as it looked uncomfortable. - I genuinely don’t remember when or how Derek and Ashley reconciled—and I’m someone who didn’t even mind their storyline! LMAO. - Tuesday’s episode was a mess. - Dani finding out about Hayley’s pregnancy and immediately thinking, “She’s faking it”—huh?! What writer thought that was a realistic reaction? I get denial, but that leap was absurd. I agree the ‘Leslie Victorious’ moment was way OTT. But hey, at least I wasn’t yawning. The following episode, where she handed over her daughter’s last few belongings was much better. - I can’t with the constant back-and-forth between Orphey Gene’s and the Country Club. I forgot this was such a soap trope, but even back in my loyal viewer days (late ‘90s, early 2000s), it wasn’t this bad. While GH has a ton of beautiful sets, we’re stuck with the same three—and half of them are ugly. Also: it’s been way too long since we had a party, gala, or any kind of event. I know the Richardsons’ anniversary gala (back in late April) has had a big ripple effect, but I was kinda getting used to those large-scale episodes. Fingers crossed they don’t go with Guza.  
    • The horrific comments execs and writers make when they justify rape storylines or keeping rapists as love interests is just so icky. I remember Ron Carlivati's comments about the reraping of Marty storyline on OLTL. Made my skin crawl.  No matter what you think of her, Susan Lucci could have demanded front burner storylines but she never did. She was happy to be part of an ensemble. I never got that vibe from Zimmer.  For me, Reva was just not a character I cared that much about after a certain point no matter how talented Zimmer is/was. I think Zimmer had a keener eye for what made a good storyline, but she was less willing to take a backseat if it meant someone else got to shine. I'm trying to recall if she ever mentions Michelle Forbes in her book--one of the few times the viewers did not care about Reva in a storyline. My sense is if she did, it was probably some backhanded remark about how she had to show Forbes the ropes.    
    • GH was good? I havent watched since Joss went away to do her traininig and Lulu had just called Brooklyn out for having Dante's baby and not telling him
    • BTG: A-  DAYS: B+  Eastenders: C
    • There was a rumor that Jean will die and that’s probably why she’s back then
    • There has been some confusion about Michael & facial burns. Please see this post: https://bsky.app/profile/shallotpeel.bsky.social/post/3lqkrryu54226 I've chosen to put this here instead of the Classic Thread because it is now with the appearance of recast Michael that this has come up. Different places online, including at least one podcast, remarks have been made about how remarkable it is that he is without facial scarring. Other fans say it was clear from the first that he did not have facial burns. What is included in this post is 2 screengrabs where you can see his face at the hospital & a very quick edit of that day in the hospital. 
    • Put me in the LOVE KMH camp. As a poster alluded to above, her detractors seem to come from people who first experienced the 80s Emily actress. And that's often the case with soaps, myself included. I enjoy the original actor so much that I just never take to the recast. However, KMH played Emily far longer than the original - for almost 20 years - and when she had great material, she was great. I get the sense she didn't like playing the whiny oh-woe-is-me Emily which was all the material she got from about 1996 until she took over the Intruder in late '99/early '00 and got to play a stronger kiss-ass woman who didn't care what anyone thought of her. (Some would call that a bitch but, if a man was in that role, he'd just be called a smart and savvy businessman.) Her relationship with Hal was great. The transformation was done realistically and I thoroughly enjoyed those years the best out of all. Once the writers decided to break up those two, they went back to writing Emily half the time as whiny and pathetic. I preferred when the writers made her stronger.
    • Hahaha - I do. I've always been the type, though, that can't miss anything. I get FOMO, so I'll not skip episodes or fast forward anything. There are only a few TV shows I've dropped because they got so bad vs. sticking it out to the end.  The promise that GL 1997 is better is what keeps me going. I especially want to see the fallout of Blake's lie about her twins and then Annie's descent which I believe won Watros's Emmy.
