ITA. Zamprogna has grown on me -- at the beginning he looked like a leprechaun with a medallion and a tan. He was the highlight of the show yesterday. I like that they are showing a cop who has a sense of humor and is, you know, a decent guy. I do fear that Patrick will confront him, though, for "lying" to Sonny who is such a great father and family man, blah blah blah.

Unfortunately, GH continues to force Lulu (and DaLu) on us in the most ineffective possible way. Domte is on a gurney, coughing up a kidney and contemplating a transplant, and here comes Malibu Barbie, farting sunshine out of her ass.

Lulu: You're the big hero, you know that?

Dominic: Is that, uh, does that mean you're gonna go out with me?

Lulu: [scoffs] I think heroes are overrated.

Dominic: Look at all my pain and suffering.

Lulu: I don't date guys that I feel sorry for.

For reals?? Guys are turned on by this? And has anybody counted up all the "I" in Lulu's dialogue above? Even next to somebody's almost-deathbed, Lulu is all about meMeMe.

I'll give it to JFP, the wannabe Grey's Anatomy EP. She lives for this ish. And does a great job with it. Production-wise, JFP is showing Ellen Wheeler how it's done.

Question: The gothic fortune teller with the Cassadine accent -- nobody is asking how she's doing! I'm assuming that with her "gift" she foresaw Peepaw Quartermaine speeding towards Morgan at 3 mph, so she shoved Lulu ("Your heart aches for love, but it eludes you. 'Cause you have no chemistry with ANYBODY") out of her tent, threw her crystal ball into her purse and get the hell out of Dodge on her broomstick.

I am not pleased that Patrick knows about Dante at all. There was never any reason to involve in him in Sonny's drama with Olivia. Patrick's sole positive characteristic use to be that he had no use for the mob, now he is all sympathetic and friendly with Sonny. Makes my teeth ache.

Dante's paternity is turning out to be one of those GH secrets where everyone knows, but the person most affected. I have never understood where the drama is supposed to lie in that kind of weak ass storytelling. I am surprised that Guza is doing this to his beloved Sonny usually Lucky alone is subjected to this treatment.

Oh! And I forgot to add that Liz & Nik kissing outside of Jake's hospital room was HELL O' HOT. Yes, I know he's the Pillsbury doughboy. Yes, I know Becky Herbst isn't a fan of open-mouthed kissing with her co-stars. Yes, I know Tyler Christopher slurps loudly. I don't care. The way he held her hair back, the way their lips met, the way Jason's eyes bu-u-ugged out when he saw them was a win IMO.

Bring it on, peeps. I've been wanting Nik & Liz for years. Even though I love Lucky.

You must desperately want Liz and Nikolas because I would not even describe what they were doing as kissing, much less hot. They were chewing around each other's mouths. It was like they didn't want to get too close or couldn't figure out how to do generic soap kissing. I have never anything like that before on a soap. LOL!

All this Liz and Nik stuff has done is made me vomit. It's actually turned me into a Rebecca and Ethan fan which by the way, I am convinced with this disgusting Nik and Liz storyline(worse than Nik and Courtney), Emily's coming back. Too many anvils and from hidden pictures from the Emmy's, Natalia Livingston has died her hair back to brown.

I in no way wanted a Nik and Liz pairing this way and I don't buy for a second that based on the destruction being setup(Emily back probably hell bent on destroying Nikolas for his actions towards her, Lucky and Liz in a custody fight with Jason on Lucky's side) and them not caring a fig for anyone other than themselves, this is longterm. But I also have no interest in seeing Lucky and Liz or Nik and Emily back together.

I liked the Quartermaine scenes and liked the stuff with Edward and Rebecca. JOhn INgle has a way of bringing out the best in his costars.

Robin and Patrick were adorable today. Too much Olivia, I do like Dante, Sonny *yawn. Jason and Sam were good today. I loved Lucky today. Liz and Nikolas are disgusting perverts. Liz was a total beyotch to Rebecca.

Robin and Patrick were adorable. They are a wonderful soap couple who get no quality airtime. They weren't even together when the mystery ended. Why does everyone and their mother have to be involved with Sonny's drama.

I think that this Nik/Liz fling is to add drama to Emily's return in November sweeps. Emily and Nikolas will be back together by January and Lucky will be stuck with Liz by March, if not sooner.

I was shocked that Sam voiced concern for Lucky. I'm glad she gives a damn about him because no one else does.

NL has given up on playing Rebecca. She is basically Emily which she does well because she cannot act and the character must be closer to her real life personality. Rebecca and Edward and Rebecca and Ethan were good in their scenes.

There is too much Sonny, Olivia and Dante. It will be this way for a long time I suspect.

I can't say it enough. Tyler is the most overrated actor on this show. He's got 2 storylines basically and you'd think he'd be playing up the interesting one, him going dark. That's all his fans have talked about for years is a REAL cassadine story for him so he gets one and this is the result? Disappointing. All he's doing is playing Nikolas as mean and annoying. I don't see him putting anything into it. He needs lessons from Stephan Nichols. And Liz? I see nothing but vileness with this storyline. No chance a woman would go for Nikolas over the hot gorgeous Lucky except on GH where overweight aged steroid infested actors are preferred over gorgeous actors with charisma.

Nik/Liz who cares. I don't like TC and I think Becky Herbst is way overrated too. Her smirks and baby voice annoy me.

Sam was awesome today. And I loved her in Lucky's corner.

NL I am sure this is per the show's direction but yeah IA she's not much of an actress but I also found she's always had a sweetness about her that while Emily was annoying as hell I liked. I also thought some of her best work on GH as an actress was opposite Chad Bannon as Zander and opposite Steve Burton during the awful Soily stuff. Soily was awful but NL and SBu and Mo and Sbu has some powerful scenes together. I always felt it was TC and acting opposite him for so many years that stunted her to an extent. They should pair her opposite someone who could benefit her like maybe IR who to me is very underrated and better than most on the show. KeMo to me is a very weak actress also but I find her likable on screen for the most part.

And Olivia. Someone at GH loves the actress because the amount of story and screentime is perplexing. I find her a weak actress but the Dante actor is first rate. And I will say JOhnny/BB has gotten much better since they have moved him away from Lulu.

Before today, I thought no way will Liz get pregnant with Nik's child (no chance she will ever have Lucky's child), but I can see it happening now. If only so her pregnancy will be an obstacle for the inevitable Nikolas/Emily reunion.

TC is a 10 lbs away from a double chin. His head like those orange grapefruits in the supermarkets.

Guza describes this story as Nikolas going dark and Heathcliff-ian which is goes to show Guza is deluded. Nikolas comes off weak, petty and unlikable. If he tried to kill Ethan and locked Rebecca up in a room at Wyndamere at least he would be following obsessive male Cassadine tradition, instead Nik is wondering around PC having sex with Rebecca and Liz. The deliberate cruelty that he showing towards his brother and the neglect of his son makes him even worse than Sonny which means that Guza thinks that Nik is the bestest ever.

    • I think she left before Justin. I remember someone saying her last scene is dancing with Ross at the ball, telling him she's leaving to be with Ben.
    • What a wonderful photo! It really is a shame that Peacock will not show those early years. I know I'd love to see them!
    • With the death of Days and GH actress, Denise Alexander, someone posted this in the Days thread, a '60s-era photo of some of the cast, which lists the names. In the upper left, is a young Susan Flannery, who obviously ended up playing Stephanie Forrester on B&B, who was one of a few actresses to play Dr. Laura Horton [mother to Mike and Jennifer Horton] on Days.

    • Sorry, there must have been a error, while creating the file. I redone it and it has audio
    • Tamara Tunie was on a local CBS affiliate in Baltimore the other day talking about a few things she had going on, BTG amongst them: "Beyond the Gates" star Tamara Tunie is in Baltimore for the Reginald F. Lewis Museum's 20th anniversary
    • Kobe/Long had their own template and pretty much gutted the cast. As soon as contracts were up established characters were dropped. They needed to free the budget for the new characters. Going back to Ann,I wonder why the Dobsons renewed her contract around 78? After her initial story she became supporting and they didn't seem to want to pursue a romance with Mike. Maybe the feedback was that viewers blamed her indirectly for Leslie's death. If Mike hadn't taken on her case etc. Did she decide not to disrupt her son's life? Seems odd after everything she didn't claim him back. 1976 continues... Joe Werner is just not bouncing back after his recovery as he should, and Sarah, concerned about his sometimes morbid-seeming depression, consults Justin Marler. They agree that Joe is becoming a “cardiac cripple,” and know this kind of overcompensation for illness and overprecaution can not only be a permanently depressed condition but can actually cause a setback for him physically.  Marler releases Joe into Sarah’s care, but it’s soon apparent that just being out of the hospital hasn’t done anything to boost Joe’s spirits about his return to a normal existence. Marler finally lays it out to Joe—the choice has to be his. He can choose to lead a normal, productive life as a doctor and as a husband to the best wife he could have, or he can choose to become an invalid and live on the outside looking in for the rest of his days, sentencing Sarah to the same fate. Realizing the selfishness of what he’s doing to —Sarah as well as the narrowness of the confinement he’s set for himself, Joe begins to see his preoccupation with his illness as the self-pity it really is and decides he’s ready to return to the hospital for a one hour shift each day. Sarah is overjoyed by his turnabout, but full happiness is hers on the day she overhears Joe telling a fearful patient that the world is beautiful and worth any. effort to get back into it. Steve and Adam are thrilled to learn that Cedars has been the recipient of the Levy Grant for expansion of hospital property. But they have learned, as they report to Ed, that the land they were hoping to build the new research facility on, the land immediately adjacent to the hospital, has been purchased by Dr. Justin Marler. Both Adam and Steve feel that Justin is expanding a power base at Cedars and the land purchase is just one more block in Justin’s power play. When Ed asks Marler why he purchased this particular parcel of land, Marler explains that he bought it with the express intention of someday building his own offices and facilities convenient to the major facilities of Cedars. When the subject of the hospital’s needing the land arises, Marler meets with Adam, and they agree that he should realize a fair profit from his property and that an unbiased assessor should be engaged to evaluate the market value of the land so they can agree on a selling price. When Sarah comments on the fact that Marler is to realize a profit on the land, he bitterly replies that no matter what he’s done since coming to Cedars to prove that he has changed. since she last knew him, she refuses to see him as anything but what he was all those years ago. Sarah insists this isn’t true. But Marler then calls Adam for a meeting and informs him that the land is not for sale at any price. As Adam begins to grow alarmed, Marler continues that the site for the new building will be his personal donation to the hospital. As Adam expresses profuse thanks and appreciation, Marler wryly notes that the tax deductions he’ll realize on this contribution to a charitable institution will benefit himself almost as much as Cedars. When Steve Jackson learns that Marler is to be elected head of the research wing that will be built on his property, he expresses the conviction that this was the exact intention of the gift. Adam, however, assures Steve that the donation wasn’t a factor in the hospital  board’s decision, they were concerned only with Dr. Marler’s reputation as a doctor. | After lengthy consultations and meetings. with the hospital  staff, Ed assured by the head nurse that her nurses performed commendably despite the added pressure of the train wreck, presents his findings to the hospital review board. Steve arrives at two possible explanations for the facts. Either Grainger, more active than usual due to the previously delayed medication, reached for the writing pad and inadvertently disconnected the breathing tubes, or he was in a state of extreme upset because of the delayed medication and.in the excitement a surge of adrenalin within his system caused his brain aneurism to start hemorrhaging. " Upon learning that the review board has ruled out negligence in Grainger’s death, Ed tells Rita, who takes her first free breath in a long time. But Ed hasn’t thought to tell Rita that he’s been in touch with Grainger’s attorney, Mr. Schafer, who, knowing that a woman was at the base of Grainger’s investigation, is coming to Springfield to try to find out who the woman - was who walked out on Grainger when he collapsed —in the restaurant. Peggy, learning that Rita’s “forgetting” to deliver Holly’s message was instrumental in their divorce ‘being finalized, tells Ed that Holly wanted to reach him to stop the divorce. Immediately after, Peggy is torn by doubts, wondering if she did the right thing.She confides in Barbara, who then discusses the situation with Ed. He tells her he and Holly have discovered a new closeness now that they are building their separate lives. Barbara quickly contradicts him: Holly is not building a new life. Barbara gently cautions Ed, saying, “People change, feelings change, and what seems right now may not be right a year from now. No decision is irrevocable.” Ed agrees with this. Now that Ben has declared his love for her, Hope finds herself apprehensive, fearing that she might be making a mistake, as she did a few years ago, when she was sure she was in love with her college professor. Explaining that she doesn’t want to make another mistake, she asks Ben to be patient, and he agrees. When Mike expresses his disapproval of Ben’s overstated independence, his need to be beholden to no one, Hope quickly jumps to Ben’s defense, and Mike apologizes. But Ben, surprisingly, accepts Mike’s assessment as constructive criticism. Later Hope, examining her feelings and desires, tells Ben she does love him and wants to belong to him. Later that evening, after they’ve made love, Ben asks Hope to marry him.And, delighted, she replies that she will. At Hope’s instigation, Bert has a family dinner to which Ben is invited, and Hope announces their intention to marry over glasses of wine. Mike politely offers best wishes while Bert thrills the couple with her offer to' make a Christmas wedding for them. Bert later tells Mike he must accept this engagement with good spirits for Hope, and later, seeing the joy she’s feeling, he gives his daughter his approval. But Ben finds another problem on his very own doorstep: his brother Jerry, who announces he’s left home after several bad fights with their parents. He refuses to tell Ben what they were fighting about. As Ben is showering, Jerry borrows his car and goes out for an hour. The phone rings, but Ben can’t hear it. Shortly after, two uniformed officers visit Mike at home to tell him that his late wife’s car has been involved in a delicatessen robbery earlier in the evening. Since Ben bought Leslie’s car, Mike accompanies the officers to Ben’s apartment. Ben curtly informs the police that he had nothing to do with the robbery and makes it clear that he feels they wouldn’t be there if he didn’t have a record and that his exoneration doesn’t prevent his being hassled like any ex-con,as they tell him he has to go to the police station for questioning. Hope tells Ben she called him earlier, and when he replies that he must have been in the shower, she accepts his word unhesitatingly.Jerry finally returns to Ben’s place and under questioning from Ben admits that he robbed the store,explaining that he has debts. Ben is now in a quandary,as he feels he must protect his brother but doesn’t want to be unfair to Hope. He tries to ease the situation by withdrawing $185 from the joint checking account he opened with Hope and repaying the delicatessen owner. He then sends Jerry out of town to stay with a friend. His relief at having solved the problem is short-lived, however, when Mike informs him that, despite the reparations, the robbery was a felony and the police will continue to investigate. Hope is badly upset to learn while making a deposit that Ben withdrew’a sum which Mike tells her is equal to the amount stolen. This shakes her belief that he _was really home when she called, and she goes to him, asking for an answer to put her mind at rest. Ben can’t betray Jerry and asks Hope to trust him, promising she will have the whole story eventually. But Hope can’t accept this; she needs complete honesty and openness in her relationship and without it cannot goon. She painfully tells her father that the wedding is off despite her love for Ben, and tells Bert to stop preparations. Mike goes to Ben, reminding him that half the money in the account is Hope’s and she has the right to an answer. But Ben won’t say any more and refuses Mike’s offer to represent him legally, again stating that he doesn’t need a lawyer, because he’s done nothing wrong.     
    • And not since. I recall it was quite small for a house that size. And I don't know why you would walk down a narrow corridor to get to the main living area. I hate when the sets on soaps don't have a logical layout! As for Andre his clothing is fashion forward and suitable for his character.He ain't gonna wear no blazer!
    • The last I remember seeing Ben, he was divorcing Amanda. He came to tell Evie that he still loved her, but was leaving town so that Amanda wouldn't blame Evie for his divorcing her. I'm not exactly sure when, but Evie doesn't leave town until sometime after Nola and Quint's engagement ball. I'm not sure if she leaves before or after Justin leaves in Sept(?) of '83. I grew to like Helena when she became friends with Vanessa, once she's edging her way out of Quint's life.
