I think Lisa will end up dead.

I got that part, but what was bothering me was how ok Lucky had to talk in his little Irish voice to protect himself, but both him and Dante were talking as loud as can be, totally revealing everything that they are planning, anyone could hear them and find out what they are up to!!

I like Siobhan. And I hope if she stays, it ends up being revealed that she's faking her accent, to. lol.

LOVING them!!

LOL! You are to good at this. I love it

Briana and Kim McC are so good at the way they bounce dialogue off of each other. And Lisa is so... rational and calm in her delusions. She 100% believes everything she says. I even believed her when she shouted at Robin "Don't run -- I was going to drive you back."

The actress playing Siobhan has the worst Irish accent. Irish accents are really difficult to do but it still bothers me to hear her channel her inner leprechaun. JJ is putting 200% into this story. I have to give him props because this is obviously filler material and he's playing it like an Emmy depends on it.

Despite that, GH is building up to some good stuff. It's ironic how shakily some shows are performing in the ratings (GH, Days) because these are shows I am actually really tuned into.

I dont want it but I kinda feel they have to. It seems as if thats where they are leading. The show never built any connections for her ouside of Robin and Patrick's sphere so I cant instantly think of anyone who she could bounce back with. She should have had other friends and/or a past with someone else. Instead they isolated her. Maybe she can go away for a few weeks and come back "redeemed". Will be interesting bc it looks like she's being written into a corner. Maybe they should make her someone's relative. Thats a quick way to establish a tie

Normally I would agree with you jp and Cheap because I really like how Brianna has taken this stereotype, this nothing role and just layered it and had fun with it. I love how she has awakened KMcC, JT and Jennifer Horton's Husband (sorry, brain fart on his name) from sleep-walking through filler scenes. They know this story is getting good, even if it is predictable, thanks to her star turn as a calm, rational psycho. But in the grand scheme of things, she is a psycho. And I don't think I could forget that if she were "redeemed" and came back sane. If she became some Carly-like "heroine" (wishful thinking, I know, but it's hypothetical) and started passing judgment on others and beng endlessly propped, my mind would immediately flash back to when she took away Robin's HIV meds or boiled Emma's stuffed toy or pushed that poor nurse down the stairs and broke her neck! She would become another boring, whitewashed character, of which Daytime (and GH) already has too many. I'd rather Lisa got some punishment for the things she has done and got sent to the looney-bin -- I certainly don't want to see yet another emotionally fragile woman brutally murdered and the citizens of PC celebrating it like it's some kind of divine justice.

And if Brianna liked Daytime and wanted to stick around, I would only hope another show would come up with a well-rounded character that matched her talents. Lisa has given BB confidence, I think.

ETA: Ooooo! Not that I would ever want Babe back on AMC in ANY shape or form but... if Alexa ain't coming back and Frons insists on it... Brianna :wub:

I can only assume it will be like all the others who had connections on the side of the law male e.g. Taggart, Durante, Dante, Ronnie and female...Sonny (Jason) is a lead character he isn't going down is the message I've always gotten ...hence he wins! Its only a matter of how, at least they are showing the law going after him to remind me he's a criminal ever so often...I think that is the best I'll get. I guess if this is a ruse, she can't use the law to take him down she'll take him down which ever way she can and if she prostitutes (instead of prosecutes) herself to do it so be it.

Re: Siobhan

I read the actress E.Chambers is of Irish heritage so not sure what she's going for with the Irish accent.

well thats what I was thinking by her going away.

Id rather she come on as recast Laura, who has been MIA for years. Maybe she still carries a torch for Scott and could give Annie some competition for him. Or Laura could take up with JR and be his new love interest. Ignite her old feud with Greenlee and have them be rivals again.

You gotta put spoiler warnings around this stuff

Is it just me or am I the only one experiencing major Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz over GH lately?! Where's the excitement, the stuff being blownup, etc? These lameass shootouts are not entertaining.

Couple that with the destruction of Claire and I'm just not as interested in watching the live show.

    • Good point. In addition to being a great character in her own right, she had chemistry with almost everyone on the show. A Jake/Paulina/Iris triangle would have been a lot of fun. If 1994 AW aired in 2025, I doubt Iris would have even considered to be on the chomping block. All the shows now are noticeably less youth obsessed compared to the 90s.
    • I wrote my previous post about Dante being on a 3-day rant while I was at the 30-minute mark of the show. By the end, Dante was back to being reasonable and kind and understanding of everyone and everything. OK, I get it. We all knew that sooner or later we'd get the wise Dante. The mistake was showing him berate Jason IN THE SAME EPISODE and imply he's a lousy father.
    • I think Dante has a larger GH fanbase than both Ava and Nina character wise.  Both CW and MW have a built in fanbase outside GH which isn't really indictive of the characters, IMO.
    • Just this fan's opinion but I have said these writers are the most plot opportunistic maybe ever! They will have any character say just about anything if it advances whatever plot point they have in their minds atm. I think if Dante's POV right now was defensible people would be running it up the flag pole. The fanbase thing you're describing to me it just means they're going to continue to like their fave no matter what. 
    • I think the difference between the head writer change at Days vs GH is that the day to day episode quality at GH was still lacking while the day to day episode quality has improved. And now that there appears to be some depth to the episode content... the limitations of some of the performers on Days is more apparent (i.e. Leo, Alex, Sophia, Cat). However, Rome wasn't built/rebuilt in a day so I'm waiting to see how things are in three to four months once some of the threads/stories from Ron's era are tied up/resolved.. and Ford/Cwikly's long term content kicks off
    • That would be me. hehe. Keeping track of who I liked better and how it informed what would happen from episode to episode. 
    • Hey, Mike Manning, hey!!! That shirt and those slacks are working today. lol.   Nice to have this Vanessa/Nicole scene.    Look at Kat vs Eva as a cliffhanger.   I KNEW IT, I KNEW IT, I KNEW IT!!! I KNEW SILK PRESS SHEILA WOULD SHOW UP AT NICOLE'S AT SOME POINT!!!      Another trio of cliffhangers (including Dani vs Ted...another combo today)! Friday cliffhangers indeed!!!  
    • Looking forward to hearing your perspective. Tuesday was a little... ehhh though

      And Ron sort of did like a half-assed rewrite to bring them together. Apparently, Stephanie had never met Alex until 2022, even though she already knew Sonny, Joe and Vic 
    • Friday Thoughts:    June and Hayley are going to turn out to be related, or else why the casting on June's character if not for that.  Their voices and mannerisms are similar and Marquita had mentioned in an interview that we would be finding out more about Hayley's backstory.   Tomas/Eva/Kat is for sure going to be moving full steam ahead.. and I can't wait

      Dani/Bill = yawn    Bill/Smitty = Interest reeved up and we all know that means the secret involving Martin/Smitty/Anita is kicking into high gear for May sweeps. Vanessa/Nicole = A satisfying friendship scene.. and Nicole's statement about Vanessa's outside interests.. I did not see that coming Nicole/Andre = I noticed that Andre volunteered knowing about the affair, but managed to withhold the nugget of information where he had convinced Ted not to confess to Nicole. Dani/Ted = This perked my interest Nicole/Silk Press Sheila = A great way to end a Friday episode.  Sometimes grandma's soaps shouldn't be discarded, but followed. Martin/Smitty = Kat is right that Smitty is too good for Martin.. and Martin did act as though he missed his afternoon nap. Ashley/Derek = Unpopular opinion.. I actually kind of missed them.   I view their scenes as a great way to kickstart a drinking game... take a shot anytime you wonder to yourself what is the point to their characters and/or either one of them says something cringey.  You'll be guaranteed to be buzzing by the end of the episode Previews for next week: Looks like Nicole has found out about Dani/Andre's FWB set up? Kat vs Silk Press Sheila looks promising.      
    • GH isn't that character-driven a show in recent decades. I think reaction depends on whether the character has a passionate fanbase. A character like Ava always has people who will defend her and back her up, as does a character like Nina (when they used to write for Nina, anyway). Dante doesn't.
