The 10th? That's way too early. Maybe production wise because I think GH only tapes 4 weeks in advance? If that's the case, Feb 10 is about right for Valentini showing up in the credits. But writing wise, Carlivati should be in the credits sometime in March, unless they scrapped a few weeks worth of episodes or stopped writing at some point.

Great to see the show giving Brandon B some quality material as Johnny...he was awesome and so natural today with LW. The fallout from this secret hasn't been bad, I was way to overcome with anger at first so I thought it would be LOL. Really looking forward to the Anthony/Johnny scenes tomorrow...Johnny is going to blow the hell up!

I actually like the whole Johnny-is-Claudia's-son route, and it makes sense the way Claudia was written in the beginning. They really ruined the character with Sonny, but prior to that the pieces did add up to justify this move. The only thing that would make this better is if Claws was still around.

I think it would've been much more impactful if she was still alive. I agree it makes a lot of sense & it explains Claudia and Anthony's hateful relationship so much more. The thing I find so disturbing is trying to figure out how young Claudia was when it happened. She had to be like five!

I don't think Claudia would've been so ruined with Sonny if the show didn't make her the one responsible for Michael getting shot. From the start she was always doomed because of that. Ugh!

Sonny ruins EVERY woman he's paired with. Carly, Brenda eventually, Clare, Sam got free sorta… even Emily didn't ever escape. Claudia was just another victim of his "charm" and was an interesting character up until she had to be paired with him. Even realKate came to life with Coleman after suffering a lobotomy with Sonny.

As for Claudia's age, first of all SORASing and deSORASing can do wonders. Secondly Johnny was about 6/7 when Claudia left home around age 16/17 in the original cannon, so it wouldn't take much to say she gave birth to him around the age of 12/13 with massaging those original ages. Anyway you cut it, it was way too young for her, she was raped and AZ arranged it. It's gross on too many levels to count, and it looks like a good story.

I just liked the idea of Sonny and Claudia together because they were both in the same business and understood each other. Claudia never once whined or complained about his involvement in the mob because she was in it to. Also just the idea of the head of the Corinthos family being w/the rival Zacchara family Princess intrigued me. Sonny and Claudia getting it on in her first episode was hot & I didn't think he ruined her at all. For once I didn't think we had another bad Sonny pairing on our hands. I think what ruined that relationship was Michael getting shot & Claudia being the one to blame. If that hadn't happened, she wouldn't have done all those crazy shady things behind Sonny's back to cover it up, which ultimately led to her dying. I think at the root of things Claudia did love Sonny and Sonny had love for her as well, and things could've worked out so differently (in a good way) for Claudia and "Clawson", if Claudia didn't order Ian Devlin to shoot. But that's all JMO tongue.png LOL

I liked Ric & Claudia too Hearst & Brown acted well off each other & were quite hot...& yes it was a romp on the couch then everything went downhill...here comes Sonny! For some reason Claudia had to be all about Sonny.

Why ??? I guess to give JohnnyZ some angst .... send him on the ledge.

EDIT: Yay! The board is doing that wonky thing where it double quotes the posts when I reply! SUCH FUN! <_<

I pretty much missed the entire Claudia era. I had given up soaps (AMC & GH) for a while because my life was just way too crazy during that time. I saw her first couple of episodes. I caught like one scene with Claudia and Ric, thought SJB & RH had good chemistry. I saw another scene with Claudia at the carnival hanging out with Kristina and Molly. Then I watched the Metro Court climax and even then I totally MISSED Michael killing her. I saw clips after the fact of particular Claudia moments on YouTube, but it's not the same after knowing how her entire story has played out beforehand.

    • Yes, of course, all of those servants added to the overall picture at AW & also people had relationships with those servants! I like it when Anita asks after one of the servants at the club, how their children are doing & like that. 
    • Great scenes between Marlena and EJ today. Paula and Jeanne are making EJ have more depth than Ron had during his long drawn out tenure.
    • Might as well say it, Minority opinion, granted, but I like Joss & I'm okay with this WSB story & i hope that Emma will be their next recruit & she & Joss can be partners.
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven  The Arlene/Ben/Betsy triangle is one I wish I could see for myself as on paper it doesn't tend to excite me but I can see how well-constructed it was. I wish I could see the Rick/Meg relationship too, although I wish they'd had him genuinely fall for Meg after he gets together with Cal. The whole Brooke/Deacon/Bridget story on B&B was horribly damaging to Brooke as a character but it was dramatically very sound because I could completely believe Deacon would fall for messy and vulnerable Brooke after finally settling down with the more docile Bridget.

    • According to the head writer list, it seems the show may have started to fall apart while either the Schneiders or Upton were writing.  And when it started to crumble, it crumbled fast.  It was sad to see everything Labine had brought to LOL be disassembled.

      Welcome back!!! And I see Abe and Paulina got a new apartment too, which is just a redress of John/Marlena’s, Steve/Kayla’s, etc. But it looks kinda nice. And I enjoyed his scenes with Chanel. It added another perspective to everything that’s been going on with her and Johnny. And Abe using his own history with Lexie to comfort Chanel was a good idea. Plus, it also provided us with more suspicion/red herring about Johnny possibly shooting EJ. I’m looking forward to see what happens between her and Johnny. And I’m so glad that the two of them are on the frontburner now.  Speaking of Johnny, I still have no problem with him going to work for Titan. The drama could be so good, especially once EJ finds out. To me, it seems like another realistic reaction to everything that’s been happening to Johnny lately. It doesn’t seem random and over the top either. And I like that they remembered to have Johnny tell Xander that he has no corporate experience whatsoever. Surprisingly, the two of them work well together. And so do Carson and Deidre. I love how the Marlena/Johnny relationship has been featured so much.  Kayla was still strong and kicking ass today too. The writer change has helped her/Mary Beth so much. But I do admit we should’ve seen Steve trying to get into Dr. Russell’s lab rather than Kayla instructing him over the phone.  And unfortunately, Chad and Cat still don’t seem to be doing much for me though. The cliffhanger was ok too.   Btw, Days was trending at #4 this morning on Peacock
    • There was a huge outcry when we learned that JFP intended to off Donna.
