Usually newlyweds on their honeymoon is fun or should be but JaSam as usual put me to sleep.

I'm not feeling NuKate at all or Skate 2.0. I hated all that Bensonhurst memory lane crap the first time but its even worse now cuz I see no chemistry and they don't look good together. And besides, Skate got undercut when Guza started pushing Solivia as the ones who were in love back in the day so to try to resell Skate again after all that is crap.

Wow….. you know it's a pretty sad day on GH when Carly, of all people, is in the only scenes worth watching. Or maybe it's just the dynamic with Shawn.

Michael's face was hilarious - yes Mikey, your mother is a slut and we all know it.

I know they're setting up this asthma thing as a possible foil for Dante's lung situation, but...

Am I the only one (well, the only one of the few of us that are watching) that was waiting for ShrewLu to flip out when she said "I never knew that" when Olivia told her about Dante's childhood asthma?

Olivia: "I remember when Dante was in the hospital as a child for his asthma and --"

Lulu: "Dante had asthma? I never knew that!"

Olivia: "Yeah, when he was a little boy. Anyway, he --"

Lulu: "No, wait! How could he not tell me that?!"

Olivia: "Lulu, it was really nothing. But back to the story..."

Lulu: "How could he do this to me again?! More lies and secrets?! I can't do this!"

Olivia: "Lulu, honey --"

Lulu: "NO! I can't trust him. When he wakes up from having a blood transfusion and a bullet as well as a piece of his lung removed, tell him I said forget it. I can't do this. It's over!"

Cut to three weeks of Dante rolling around Port Charles in a wheelchair with an iron lung, pleading Lulu to take him back, and she's all: "You don't understand how important trust is to meeeeeee!"

Jason and Sam are so horrible and depressing, suicide attempts might actually rise if shown to disturbed people. This is no surprise though, Steve Burton plays an unemotional robot who never is enthusiastic about anything, and Kelly Monaco is incapable of playing anything other than depressed, melancholy and subdued which leads to her whispering line delivery. That love scene they had this week was a joke. They were acting like this was their first time and were proceeding nervously. This seems to be more Kelly Monaco than Steve Burton because a survey of her every love scene will show she always seems to play Sam as on the brink of killing herself after sex with these gloomy faces one expects to see at a funeral.

I won't get into the deeeeeeep and loooooooooooong discussion about Lulu's ruination (whether it was the writing or the actress), but I will say that Dante's been done a HUGE disservice by being chained to Lulu for his entire existence on GH. Seeing Dante with an actual sexy woman -- whether it be from his past or present -- would work WONDERS for the rut that the Dante character's in. Seriously! How many times can we see Dante chasing after Lulu, apologizing to that smug bitch for not telling her things that are of no consequence to their relationship?

Lulu was ruined way before Dante. In fact I have never cared for this baby killer.

I actually loved Lulu and Dante for like 2 months. Then Dante covered up Sonny shooting him and I never saw him the same way again. That totally ruined his character for me.

What confuses me most with this "How can people lie to me???" story is it coming on the heels of Lulu leaving everyone behind to go find the great truth about Luke, ending in a poor woman being murdered for trying to help her. Wouldn't this make Lulu pause, for a moment, about the idea that she must always be at the center of a truth?

LMAO at Alice and Tracy!

Damn this new cop is getting a little annoying. Seriously just standing there until Dante wakes up the night after being shot and having a big surgery?

Wow Matt is such an ass.

Could only watch half due to a special report taking over the last half hour. Will finish watching tonight.

Dante's rut isn't Lulu, Dante's rut is Sonny. Prior to having to prop the over-propped, Dante-as-Dominic was funny, smart, driven, knew right from wrong and had a wonderful manner about him. Lulu was part of that too and it didn't effect him at all. As soon as Sonny shot him and he became officially "Dante", the character started to fail.

Dante is just one more victim of Sonny's storylines. And the list of those victims seems endless. If anything Lulu - by extension - has had to be changed so she can also justify Sonny.

For me the problem is that the show took the Spencers to a very ugly place and they don't seem to be interested in exploring that. I don't know how you can go back from what went on with the family during Jake's death, and the aftermath.

      I'm pretty sure Lucy and Bridget never even have another scene together for the rest of the time they're both on the show. Bridget isn't even invited to the wedding! The lack of community feeling and continuity of non-romantic relationships during this period is very jarring. Characters suddenly only seem to interact with a handful of other characters, rather than characters across the canvas. I'm deep into 1997 in my watch right now and find that it's even stranger because the show goes back and forth between ignoring history in order to manufacture some kind of separation between characters (for example, at one point Amanda refers to the Coopers as a family that the Spauldings "barely know," despite her and Alan spending the better part of 1996 going to war with Buzz over 5th street, and Alan has absolutely no reaction when he finds out about something bad that's happened to Abby, which seems pretty out of character given how close they were in 95/96) and ignoring history in order to create a sense of community that doesn't quite fit (characters who couldn't stand Amanda are suddenly acting all buddy buddy with her). The wheels really feel like they're coming off in 1997 (although I know some would argue that the wheels started to come off years earlier). Watching the Marcus/Dahlia romance again from a 2025 perspective is so weird. Marcus is a full grown man who must be at least in his mid-20s and he's dating a teenager who is not only still in high school, but is still fully a year away from graduation, and no one says anything about how creepy that is. I feel like the buzz around Marcus gave the illusion that the show was more invested in him than it ever actually was. Even during his "big" story where he's arrested for Cutter's murder, he actually doesn't appear on screen very often. He's imprisoned, Griffin is brought on, other characters make a fuss about trying to get him out, but there's a long stretch of time where he doesn't appear at all. I've been keeping episode counts while I watch and between Cutter's death in mid-November of 1995 and the end of the year Marcus/Mambo only appears 7 times (and of that only twice in December).

      The letter reading was very emotional, and Maeve really got to me too. I was a little worried because Vanessa doesn't give a speech at the funeral, which surprised me, but then we got the private letter reading and her true emotional reaction and I was satisfied there. The YouTube channel I watch these episodes on (if not on our Vault), also had upset commenters talk about how Nola's line about Henry not accepting her at first/seen as a gold-digger was totally untrue. It's sad the writers don't do their homework and give fans the respect (and the characters respect). And yep, Bill got up and spoke at the funeral too, which was nice.  I didn't even realize that was Sharon Leal until you said it!  I had to Google it. I loved Sharon Leal in Boston Public back in the day haha. LOL at your Reva/Josh ALWAYS commentary. What is RME though?

      Leslie is an extreme liar and manipulator. I'm not sure what her point was in trying to convince Nicole she wasn't trying to hurt her. As much as Eva did help orchestrate the entire plot I feel like there was too much piling on. Eva never said she wanted to be a Dupree so Anita was extremely out of line for that comment.

       That's positive and something to look forward to for sure, because you're right, 1996 so far isn't nearly as good as 1995. Ohh - what is Lonatrat?  Sadly you're probably right. I did feel like David was rarely seen once Marcus came on. That would have been an interesting spin, having Frank and Tina be teenage lovers and Dahlia really being his daughter. I'm getting the sense that Tina won't be seen too much anymore, as she just left Dahlia with Frank/Eleni as she's heading to jail for a while. I like the Tina actress too!  Her voice sounds a bit like Rosie Perez to me, which I love. I tried to find her online, but coming up empty. This was the only thing I could find about Tina Crede - a character snapshot video with clips and stills of her (randomly starting just before the 1:00 mark):

      That's wild that the David actor is nearly 40 here! Definitely surprises me.

      Y&R: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      5-6   Meh. It already looks like a scattershot week.    5-5 was actually a good episode. Damian and Lily. Phyllis finally going on the warpath that I knew she could get on with Billy and Sally. Nate started to question Audra and Victor's alliance. And I was not even bugged by Kyle and Claire.   But then there's Cole's off-screen story. Kyle and Claire going back to being whiny. And them even wanting Adam's penthouse just sounded like trying to keep the set around. And Diane shouldn't even give a flying frak about Billy's opinion. And Tessa, Daniel, and the guitars...yeeeah no.   But hey...JM looked good in that short. And those pants.  I agree. One of Y&R's good points with fans has always been that you do at least see the vets. And IN stories.

      One of the things that I found unnecessary and a bit disturbing about Ambitions was that in almost every episode someone was holding or shooting a gun.  Jamey and Ron seem to have the same fetish.

      I had thought that there was a Tommy Biddles on there, but then I realized I was thinking of Dr. Biddles on Santa Barbara. Never mind!

      I have watched the scene where Vanessa reads the letter and it's lovely, but I'm really glad now that I never got around to watching the funeral. Henry ADORED Nola! He treated her like a daughter and Stacy like a granddaughter. That's why Vanessa couldn't stand her. He was crazy about all the Reardons. He spent a lot of time at the boarding house. He and Bea--they never explicitly said it was romantic, but they certainly were loving friends. This sounds worse than Bert's funeral. I really did not think that was possible.
