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.

    • @TaoboiI ran into Dani’s favorite party planner again tonight

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
