I think it's hysterical. Most of the article is about JJ. So he singlehandedly has turned the show around? I think I'll wait until the show doesn't play up sweeps. Just 2 weeks ago before JJ's phenom return, everyone was still complaining about SSDD. GH always ups the stakes for sweeps. And I'll be shocked if Lucky is still the new shiny toy in 4 months.

^^ Another fawning over JJ column where the author claims that GH has magically gotten better. I don't see where this show has gotten better at all.

I'm not a Sarah Brown fan either. I admit that she was outstanding. She saved this horrible story. It isn't surprising that once she was done, it all flopped.

The women who get constantly overlooked are GH's strengths. It is sad that Sam is become Jason's ass kisser again.

It's magically better because we see Lucky more getting a Point of View now? I don't see any better. I see a lot of drama for sweeps that's what I see and it's typical GH but lord all this JJ fawning is going to really make me resent him and I actually like the actor but please, is he singlehandedly saving GH? And his scenes with Jason. Very very disappointing. His other scenes with Luke and Liz were good. He was good with Nikolas while I kept waiting for TC to wake up, take a shower, and get a haircut. The one pleasure I get out of JJ returning is he makes TC's performances over the past so many years disgraceful. GV never got the material and that kind of respect.

How nice that GH finally gets to do the Michael is a killer storyline they wanted to do when AJ died.

Michael is a vile little thug, a sick misogynist and monster, just like his "father" Sonny, and just like Sonny, we will probably hear all about how Michael is the real victim here, and various characters will be destroyed to make him look better.

Poor Carl. Misogynists everywhere he turns!

(Not that I don't agree...)

As much as I enjoyed Friday and Monday, today just infuriated me. And the cover-up? Why? What's the point?

And that Jason/bodybag scene at the end. Just... ugh.

Friday was a good episode... too bad we're back to the same old garbage.

That's pretty much where daytime is now. It's just a lot of sick violence and ugliness against women on too many soaps, and I don't believe that this is how soaps always were, I look at clips from 20, 30 years ago, 15 years ago, and it was much better. Women worked. Women who did stay at home still had motivations of their own. Women didn't only live for men or babies. They weren't constantly written off as sluts and whores. We weren't asked to cheer men who abuse women.

If they ever wonder why daytime is losing so many female viewers, then I think this is a big reason why.

But look how many cheer at the cheap theatrics here. Viewers seem drawn to this like a cheap horror flick. Honestly the only thing I have found bearable about any of this storyline this past week has been Sarah Brown. She's risen above all of it and has outperformed everyone on that show and I don't even like her.

Today Michael wacked Claudia with an axe and Sonny told Michael he was proud of him. Ugh.

So much for ignoring what you dislike. :lol::P

Sarah Brown acted her ass off this and last week. She really sold the hell out of this thing, and a I knew she would. Hopefully, though doubtful (well, maybe not since Mulcahey was upped to story consultant), she'll have better material on B&B.

Drew Garrett has been a find this year, and I can tell he's really invested in his portrayal of Michael.

Again, GH in HD is stunning to look at. It's really become the best looking show on daytime if you watch in HD.

      I found it to be a rather odd way to deal with a character departing for parts unknown.

      Today reminded me as to why I’m a little disappointed in the name that the new Pope chose

      Luckily, EJ and Johnny, and pretty much every other character saved today’s episode.  I didn’t expect Javi to be the one to save Sarah though, and I don’t mind it at all, because if it means that Javi is finally going to get his own identity/character, away from his douchy bf, I’m all for it. Javi’s scenes would’ve been a lot better had it not been for him. EJ and Johnny were the best part of today. Their conversation hit a lot of important beats and I’m so looking forward to seeing them play out. And now that EJ knows that Johnny is going to work for Xander, that opens up another dynamic to their storyline and to the Kiriakis family storylines as well. Tying them all together could be really good. There are so many story possibilities that can come out of this. And I thought Carson Boatman did a pretty good job again too.  I also liked that Johnny was there to comfort Chanel after everything that happened with Sarah. They’re so good together. But I do have mixed feelings about Chanel possibly forgiving Johnny so quickly. Hopefully, the question that she asked him at the end of today leads to more conflict for the two of them.  And yeah, still no changes in Alex’s character lol

      Awesome, thanks so much for taking the time to grab this episode. I had a quick review of your rip because I was curious why it was 700MB and 30 minutes. The first 10 minutes of the episode is 3169 (opening credits at 5 minutes and again at 15 minutes). I thought we had the full HD version of ep.3170 on the YouTube channel, but it appears they added the wrong episode but labelled it 3170.

      I imagine Brad will blow through all the money in a year and come crawling back, just as Portia warned him not to.

      Well, since I'm still up unexpected past my growing-into-it bedtime. lol.   I finally got to rewatch Monday's. I even rewatched Friday's to take it all in. Now that we got the reveal and hit the climax of the SilkPress Sheila storyline, now we get to watch the aftermath and/or turns that come with its climax. So far, so good. Friday left us with three cliffhangers. And what I found surprising was how I felt about them over a rewatch.    I know some of you all felt a way about the dialogue during Kat vs Eva. I remember liking it more the first time around and it was nice for them to have these scenes to establish more of a frenemy vibe for them going forward. That still held up. But I found myself agreeing with you all about that dialogue. lol. Still, it was nice to have both of their POVs.   Second up was Silk Press Sheila vs the Duprees. And I was happy to get a brief spat with Dani in there. But the rest standouts for me was Anita and Martin. Haters can hate and given the tail end of the episode, I will agree to a fault, but Brandon has impressed and he was on fire on Monday and had great subtle work on Friday. And that subtle work made it all the better. Like I believe I said when I was watching...BC has a much better grip on his character and seems to be realizing what his tics are so has started to be able to know when to turn it up and when to dial it down. And for the most part (emphasis on most), he got that. Meanwhile, TT was giving fierceness, and I was here for every minute of it. Her reading SilkPress. Her being quip about it. Her 'BE STILL.' Ooooo she had a chokehold on me as Anita gave what I was expecting her to SilkPress. WORTH THE WAIT. I also loved Vernon's CHOOSE SILENCE. I wonder though if SilkPress will figure out Martin's condition from her observing Anita and Vernon with him.   And speaking of worth it...Oooo YES Nicole vs Ted was worth totally worth it. Oooooo I knew DD would nail it, and it was all so well done. The fight between the part of Nicole who is a therapist vs Nicole as a woman who wants to express how she feels. And being so angry. And how there would be moments when it would shoot out of her. And how she would restrain herself. But how she felt she should not be restrain. Just the levels of processing and layers. And DD played it all so well. I do wish Maurice gave just a little bit more, but overall, I thought he did a good job even if it was just Ted coming across as a deadbeat and not at all redeemable. And Kat being there for her mother was so beautiful.   Minority, but I love the montage though yes, it did run a little long. Given how the Duprees like to bond (and also as I mentioned from my own very recent family experiences), it did not seem out of place to me.     That said...let's see how the aftermath worked in today's episode. Overall. Cuz RC can be hit or miss.

      I wonder whose brilliant (
