Wow! That was a truly breathtaking season finale, which frankly is what it was. They didn't intend it to be a true finale, but I think they did a good job of wrapping things up knowing that the show would have to go in a different direction if it moved online. The cliffhanger certainly would've inspired me to continue watching the show online and I absolutely will be looking at General Hospital now. The reason this is the greatest soap finale IMO is because they used the ENTIRE week as a tribute and finale for the show. They serviced every character and story to a satisfying concusion and each episode felt like it was truly leading towards the end. Other soaps (like ATWT) will waste those final weeks and then cram everything into that final hour. I *hate* that.

Can't believe it's over considering how good that was! The show totally ended on top. Good ratings, strong cast, etc. It's very shocking. OLTL didn't need all the promo and attention other soaps got, the show spoke for itself.

I'm sorry you guys are feeling sad today.

As an AMC fan, I know exactly how you feel. I'm a somewhat fan of OLTL so I've been watching this past week.

This is a dumb question but how did Cole get back to Starr? I know Todd's worker guy brought him there but how did Cole get the word out that he wanted to go be with Starr instead? Are supposed to assume that guy watched over Cole and his parents 24/7?

Yeah, it was too normal for me. Actually aside from Monday and Thursday, most of the week was a letdown, imo. I had stopped watching regularly in the early 2000s and didn't care for most of these newbies getting so much screentime as opposed to bringing people back.

ICAM, it was ridiculous for Vivien to declare they couldn't get to the hospital. Now if they'd been at a remote cabin, maybe, but from the Buchanan mansion? rolleyes.gif

That's been OLTL for the past few years. It's not my cup of tea, either.

Yeah, it was nice how the show came full circle with the Buchanans having their first mixed race child and showcasing Tea & Tomas speaking Spanish, too.

ITA! I know most people loved Todd & Blair but I've never liked them together. The best parts of this episode for me were Matthew naming the baby Drew, which made me tear up, and Starr & Cole, which made me cry happy tears!

    • It feels like the show hired Hank Northrop first and are still deciding what to do with him lol. I don't have a judgement on the character yet, but this non-story (so far) has been happening for at least a month and he's only made 2 appearances lol.
    • I know Anita mentioned that she no longer was investing in the trust, while Leslie had stated that the interest was multiplying at a decent rate... but I do have a feeling she'll wipe through the trust in a short amount of time with the amount of spending she's doing. The show always throws in tiny nuggets of foreshadowing and having Anita's remark and Eva warning her mother not to overdo the spending tells me that Leslie will be blowing through that money eventually.
    • I honestly don't care if Laura is friends with Sonny.  She's been friends with him for decades.  The way she goes about the friendship is stupid.   She has no sense of self-preservation or awareness about the optics of parading her friendship with Sonny around town.  She practically celebrates it.  There's no reason in the world she can't just keep the friendship low key and explain they share a grandchild and frame the relationship that way.  A lot of Laura's choices, like getting into a public fight with Dalton, just make her look silly and like a fairly incompetent mayor. Carly is another PC lady that's starting to look silly.  I know she's explained her plan a lot, but it's still stupid and moving at a glacial pace.  If Joss is 45 by the time her revenge plot unfolds, what's the point?  Just dump Brennen and move on please.
    • On that same note, it's astounding to have mobster Sonny in the same office with Mayor Laura chatting it up about their mutual grandson. Think about the reaction if John Gotti and Mayor Eric Adams had a friendship

      ?? I guess the Logic behind Sonny & Jason acceptance is like when i saw a documentary where FBI agents said they'd rather deal with the mafia than terrorists or cartels---they're the "lesser of 3 evils". Anyway I'm about 30 years late on this convo.
    • Im confused. Does Jessica know anything about June's relation to Tyrell? At the start of the episode, it seemed like June was gonna slip that he was her son but she caught herself but later in the episode she referred to him as "my boy" and Jessica had no reaction like that wasnt a surprise to her No, Anita was putting money in the account every 6 months but we werent told how much was in it when Leslie became a beneficiary. The show has set it up that it was multiplying based off the interest so that its really worth quite alot now. I dont buy it but thats what they've told us
    • What was the point in Lori's return as Mrs. Max Hollister? That little story never made much sense to me.  Were there plans for a permanent return? Or even a new family with her as the matriarch?  
    • I guess it depends on your device.  I can watch CW shows via their website on my Windows PC.
    • Ooooo A Liam episode? I'll watch it later today. They sure are churning the daily episodes out early.
