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.

    • I can't watch until later (Canada issues). What is Philip's motivation for stealing the drug? Only plot I cared about today and you did not mention it 
    • Doug III’s first day of work. Hope he does a good job… or that Tate tries to sabotage him somehow

      His scenes with Holly were nice though. They’re sweet together and I understand why some people think that they have more chemistry than Tate/Holly do. And I liked that Doug III opened up to her about his past. Maybe that could lead to something good happening in the future.  I also enjoyed Roman and Kate, and how they’re both being tied into EJ’s shooting. The mystery of it all is really compelling. I don’t think Roman is the shooter though either.  I didn’t have much sympathy for Kristen though. She has no one to blame for Rachel’s problems than herself. But at the same time, I’m really surprised that Days actually remembered the Alex/Kristen fling. I thought Ron had erased that from existence. I’m not shipping them at all, but I’m definitely shipping a permanent end to Brady/Kristen but after today, I’m not so sure about that either.  And, Johnny and Chanel were still great together

    • Some country club revelation thoughts from a casual watcher no one asked for. The Great: Daphnee Duplaix gave the best performance we've seen yet. Nicole's dialogue was also well thought out and felt character specific. TJ Maxx Ted was also pretty good. Trisha Mann-Grant steals every scene she's in. Often without even trying. Carrying multiple episodes worth of exposition heavy soap dialogue with starts and stops and recapping and drama and humor is no small feat and she nailed. Vernon telling Lesliana to STFU.  The Bad: So much of the dialogue for the rest of the cast was overly written. Martin said "You are a vile human being with a hole in your heart!". Marty, what are we doing? It's SO dramatic and sounds so silly coming from this grown man. Do Bill and Hayley do anything but talk about the Duprees? And the nerve of her to get so excited to find out Ted is a cheater when she and her husband are too. There should be a hint of shame mixed in with your glee, ma'am. The Questionable: Coffee and a rendition of Amazing Grace after finding out Nicole was betrayed by her husband. The Duprees are an odd bunch. The stinger of one segment had Anita prepared to lambast Lesliana, when we came back someone else was talking. When Anita eventually said something to Wig, it was a lukewarm at best. And then of course she thought singing a song about something that should absolutely not be extended to her son-in-law. The entire family allowing this deranged woman to speech at them in their own was...nuts. I know she said something about what would the neighbors say but my GOD. Is she just going to be allowed to trespass whenever she feels like it now? The focus on Leslie and her wig usage as an oddity is...odd. I think Chelsea said something like "and she wears wigs!" (while wearing a buss down middle part). Okay? It's just not that odd for a black woman to change up her hair. It's the different names that's the problem. I know it's meant to be humorous, in a throwback soap kind of way, but it fell flat for me.  I'm sorry I find the whole family to be WEIRD. It's like they want us to see them as ruthless yet benevolent, open yet furtive, snobbish yet tooth achingly sweet all at the same time. I cannot get a lock on the family dynamics. Everyone is just there.  I'm gonna cry if this show doesn't start giving us ages (or close to it!) for these characters. Because if Eva is 21-22 then Martin was being given crayons, a soda pop and blinders when he was 15-17 years old. Martin had to have been under 8 for me to buy this story, which would make Eva and Kat late 20s (Martin is at least 35 since he wants to run for president), which I don't think they're meant to be. It's honestly minor but it bothers me. I've mentioned this to @Vee but I think the optics on opening the show with both sisters discovering their husbands of over 30 years are cheaters should've been considered. I doubt there was any intention behind it, no one's rubbing their hands together as they scheme to say the married black men can't stay loyal but how does it look? Maybe it's just me. Honestly it's probably just me!
    • Thank you very much!!!! I really appreciate it!!! I also have read the GH coffee table book from the 90s!!!
    • For a homeless woman, June sure has nice teeth. I agree Ted didn't bring the power in the fallout scenes but to can him and leave Tomas, Martin and Derek onscreen? i'm not looking forward to Martin's secret being revealed and have him flail in the spotlight scenes. Yes, he's got a little better, but... When someone like Timon delivers with every line reading, you wonder how some other casting decisions were made. And I need sunglasses every time characters are at Uptown-is that green paint left over from GL's Cedars Hospital makeover? And for the cliffhanger, instead of the Door dash nonsense, simply have Leslie encounter Vanessa on her way out and push past her to enter. As there is no front door have Leslie barge into the living room, with Vanessa following.  Then Nicole can tell Vanessa- it's OK she can leave them alone.
