See? That was a good pivot.
I was just saying that a few months ago that since I got back to regularly viewing, GH had a thing going on where they would do the shift between their storyline focus and be able to do it in such a way, that they did not lose their momentum. At all. And it was great. Until it wasn't. And honestly, it seem to happen with the start of the Britt/Nathan returns. Thankfully, Monica's death (rightfully) overtook those storylines.
I love that since that storyline ended, it has that rhythm again. Starting with Ned's heart attack, it's been just grooving along again. I had really been enjoying Ned's increased presence. I really loved him getting close to Gio. So I was sad at his attack (is there anything Wally can't do?). And the fallout has been great to watch as well. And I liked how that story connected to the Gio/Emma/Teens storyline to break into the Professor's office.
And WOW how that storyline is snowballing. It shows how connected Rocco is, too. I was not expecting him to get in trouble. Nor was I expecting him to wind up in court with NO BAIL. Sonny. Dante. Lulu. Britt. LAURA. It affects everybody. Well, a lot of people I care about at least. lol. I do want more of Dante/Lulu dealing with it, but I love how Laura is involved cuz I was just mentioning how light Laura's appearances have been, and those have been mucha ado about nothing. 'Til now. Erza's still a thorn in her side. Now the Professor. And I like how Gio/Emma are involved, giving them a story within the story as well. And lest forgotten, this Rocco storyline also lightly touches on Sonny vs Sidwell so...
...seeing a pattern here with each story connecting in some way or the other all of a sudden? Cuz Sidwell continued to intrigue. And I found Britt more suited for her alliance with him (and that brief scene with Nathan at the police station) than whatever propping they been doing with her since she came back to PC with Jason. I saw a little piece of who she was so while I hate the Rocco angle of her return, a start. And I'm not liking the angle of Lucas moving in with him and Marco...okay, I am...but it seems like Carly's Revenge...which I was looking forward to...is going to be a slow (not a slow burn) storyline so le sigh. Speaking of Sonny...
...he just made Portia's life so much messier...and it was ALREADY MESSY. lol. So Alexis knowing she might be a suspect in Drew's shooting and having Felicia on the case = love. Now THAT is a slow burn. Involving a lot of characters I like, too. I liked Stella figuring it out and being...well Stella...with Curtis. I shook my head at how gullible Curtis is at Portia's hesitation to say she's preggers. I loved Trina reading Jordan down. And at some point...Portia is going to realize she's a target, too? This group hasn't been this interesting in a minute. MORE PLEASE. Speaking of the shooting...
...THEY ACTUALLY LET WILLOW OUT??? Who I still think is the shooter. And just look at the sass and shade she gave Jacinta when she saw her with Michael and Wiley. But she's just nice and sweet and innocent??? That bitca is CRAY-CRAY!! I expected more from BLQ when she finally got a clue about Chase being around Willow, but a good start.
I think what I like best about all of the above? They all flow into each other and back, showing how they connect. I don't even think the writers meant for the umbrella effect of it all. But if they did, well-played. I'm either interested or intrigued at all parts.
I think the only thing that is bothering me is the lack of Liz and how Nathan's storyline has just stalled. Honorable mention to Anna's disappearance, but heck...Dante as Commissioner which gives him more story...YES, PLEASE.
I too liked the Sonny/Ric scene. And a nice Friday cliffhanger with Rocco in handcuffs.
