I was expecting it no shock. She was doomed from day 1 when they conceived that idiotic twin storyline and she got stuck with the vapid of suck TC again. Nver thought she was a great or even good actress but I thought she deserved a chance outside of him. She and GV actually had chem but of course the great JJ is back so all for naught anyway.

Man f*** Megan Ward. She's a horrible failed primetime actress who has no range and depth, even with the few scenes they give her. She can't even be an effective dayplayer drunk.

Perfect cure for insomnia.

No wonder Lisa Lo came in and stole her contract. She's not the best actress, but at least she can do something other than complete and utter monotony.

Oh, Bellcurve, never stop posting! I love reading you stuff, regardless of whether I agree or not. MW may be a failed PT actress (hey, I loved Boomtown) but I do adore her as Kate. She gives this show some humor, sparkle and lightness, and I love her scenes with Alexis and Diane (though they are few and far between). As far as playing drunk, I have yet to see somebody on Daytime nail a convincing lush (GL's Jordan Clarke excepted). Heck, Julie Marie Berman played a horrendously unconvincing drunk yesterday, but she managed to pull Zamprogna's shirt open so, you know, silver linings.

FTR, I like Lisa LoCicero, too.

Having JJ back is... an adjustment. I don't blame him for what happened to GV in the slightest, but I wish TIIC had toned it down on the "OMG, haven't seen you in AGES" references because that is as disrespectful as saying "Hey, everybody! The REAL Lucky is back!"

However, the character I am most torn about is Liz. What she is doing is reprehensible, and she has pulled this stunt before. Liz always carries the brunt of any infidelity scenario, it seems. However, Becky Herbst and Puff Daddy do make the kissing scenes work. In fact, they sold me on their kissing at the end of yesterday's show, especially when Nikolas held her after. Cheating is the stuff of soaps, people. TC & BH have chemistry, and that is a [!@#$%^&*] miracle after the anti-chemistry of Nik & Nadine and Nik & ReGulpily.

As long as Courtney and ALW *never* comes back, I'll be happy.

Yesterday's show was REALLY well-constructed. They built up all this tension right to the end and left us with (IMO) the best cliffhanger GH has had to offer since, oh, the Metro Court?

I actually feel bad for Claudia as she has no clue that her dreams (and prob her head) are about to be blown to smithereens. I know everybody hates Claw-Claw, but this woman has been given the shaft her whole life. Wasn't her mother tortured to madness by AN-tho-Nee Z? The writing seemed to imply that there may have been some sort of sexual, if not physical, abuse in her childhood. She was treated like crap by her father, Sonny, etc., all because she was a girl. That birthday party must be one of the first (and last) times she ever felt truly happy.

It's so weird watching GH and realizing how many SLs seem to be dove-tailing that were originally conceived with Vanessa Marcil specifically in mind:

-Sonny's secret son, Dante, was meant to have been Cooper Barrett, a baby Brenda supposedly had.

-Brenda was meant to come back from Paris all fashion-y (like Kate)& reclaim her son, Cooper, but that didn't work out so... hey Kate!

-LLC originally auditioned for the Brenda recast but TPTB then decided they didn;t want to piss Marcil and her legion of fans off, so they instead came up with a new character. And gave her the "Sonny's son" story that might have gone to Kate.

Just what will it take to get Nessa back on GH? lol

You left MY SON!!! TUH DAH ONDA FLAWH!!

Oh my God. So GH is rarely anything other than background noise (and it used to be background pretty...I miss you, Greg!) to me, but Jesus Christ, this is [!@#$%^&*] is like crack today, and it's only on the first commercial break. Maurice Benard just sounded like a weird mixture between Telly Savalas and Bosley from Charlie's Angels.

    • 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.)
    • Andrew sure has hard nips.
    • 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.
    • Okay, why are Paulina and Abe sleeping like that?!  I'd take a screen grab if I wasn't lazy, but come on.
