So I mean, obviously, Olivia's going to make it through this! icon1.gif At least I think! She seems to be getting better, bedside flirtation between her & Steve, and she's already talking about making Dante dinner when she gets out.... ;-) will be happy if she's staying!

It's so funny reading all the LW/Carly criticism (which I agree with) here because this is the only place I'm seeing it. LOL every where else I'm reading, LW is pretty much getting rave reviews. Some things I've read recently, "Laura Wright was FIYA today!" "WRIGHT EMMY 2011@#@!!" "GO Carlee!" "LW IS HANDS DOWN THE BEST ACTRESS IN DAYTIME AM I RIGHT OR AM I RIGHT."

I understand both POV's in the situation but I'm on Abby & Michael's side 100%. I'm glad Abby stood up to Carly. I like her with Michael, they have a great connection and she brings out the best in him. He's also an adult and can do whatever he wants. Carly needs to back off. And I think Sonny's take on everything is refreshing.

No it still sucks imo. It's even worse now that he has a face. This S/L is pure dreck.

Molly slamming her pencil across that room & freaking out was interesting and I'm looking forward to more of this S/L. Her personality shifted and she was almost another person today.

Haley Pullos (spelling?), who plays Molly, is going to do wonders with this storyline... very small amount of screentime on Friday, and yet that is one of two storylines i'm looking forward to seeing again this week (Michael and Abby being the other)

No kidding.

I love Haley Pullos as much as all the other rabid GHers, but this is her FIRST heavy story to play. Everything else has been "Jason, show Sam you love her." "Mac, please date my mom." "Uncle Sonny, don't date Claire!" "Michael's in prison!" She hasn't had a story of her own yet and quite frankly, I think we need to see how well this is gonna play out in the writing and with the acting before we all jump the gun.

Just finished watching Friday's episode now and I was surprised at how... enjoyable it was. First of all, watching first Sam and then Abby stand up to that bully Carly was a thing of BEAUTY. Thank God they don't acquiesce to that harpy's deluded demands. What, is she hoping to keep her precious Michael a virgin forever? Honey, that gate may already have been breached.

Secondly -- and I know it is fashionable to bash Vanessa Marcil here, God knows I took my potshots when her return failed big-time -- but I sort of love her interaction with Steve Burton. Not in a romantic way, in a comedic way. Brenda is back to being her shallow, self-absorbed self fretting about the wedding and what she is going to wear. I know people here hate it, but I sort of loved it.

Thirdly, I love Daniel Benzali as The Balkan, and I especially like his interaction with Robin. I don't know why... Kimberly McCullough steps up when he's around and both characters have this feisty, mutual-respect thing going on.

Fourthly, Brianna Brown came alive in her scenes with the new doctor. Her eyes really shone and she played it so well when he said he wasn't going to break Robin up "for free." Wasn't sure about Lisa getting a reprieve after she went loony-tunes but I am hoping they follow through on her and Johnny.

Olivia & Steve -- like them both individually. Not necessarily feeling them together.

    • You're really in for it, because those rants continue for 3 episodes. I was struck by how ho-hum those cliffhangers were. It was like the writers ran out of gas.
    • New Tomas pleaseeeeeeee!!

    • Thank you for the clarification, but Susan didn't name her child after David.  It was Julie who named her son David.   And how/when was Susan's son killed?  And didn't Susan kill David Martin and stand trial for his murder?   
    • I truly wish we could see more of her work on DAYS. And more of her early stuff on GH, but at least we know that Corday’s DAYS vault is virtually complete, especially compared to GH. Lesley was a pivotal character. I think the scenes with the confrontation with Monica are so good because there is a lot of character in those lines and performances. Monica is ferocious, desperate. And Lesley is not a victim, she holds her own and calls Monica out, playing her own form of anger. Evenly matched. Soap confrontations have largely forgotten that both sides should be evenly matched, even if someone has wronged another. To me, that scene is easily in my soap hall of fame. They didn’t make enough of her return, which has always bothered me. I would have loved for her to end up vying for control of the hospital when Alan was incapacitated by drugs, helping him through that crisis and finding herself at odds with Monica again on a different level, not as romantic rivals. She had such a long career! Acting in radio shows as a little kid, through her GH spots as few years ago. That’s quite a ride. 
    • Damn I was hoping Lesley would be at Monica's memorial  Hoping GH gives Lesley an on screen memorial
    • Today's episode was serviceable, but the cliffhangers were disappointing!
    • I just got to the first set of Dante ranting at Gio episodes and I really need him to shut the hell up. Gio literally was at the party with people his own age and didn’t even know Dante’s kid snuck out to a party. Talking about I could charge you for serving a minor? This is just really stupid writing.
    • Back up a bit. Susan & Julie were best friends. Tom thought David too old for Julie & forbade her to see him. They continued but they had to sneak around.  So they couldn't always get together when they wanted to. One of THOSE nights David got drunk. At the same time for different reasons Susan had a huge fight with her parents, slammed out the door & went & also got drunk. David & Susan comforted each other & things took their usual course From that one  drunken night, Susan got pregnant. The 3 made a joint decision. He would marry her to give the child his name & then they would divorce. Is it any wonder this did not go according to plan. Bill Bell wrote this. So best friends became bitter enemies.   I am the exception because I had no problem suspending my disbelief to go along with the LaSalles. I love Marisa as much as I loved Mary. Reginald, always a problem to me, And, Robert Hogan had to be Vince. WhIle I'm at it I am glad that didn't do anything with making Scott a triplet.
    • All good @ChristosM, we appreciate you.  You’re awesome, thanks so much @rsclassicfanforever
