Who? LOL. That was such a non-character. I dont even remember the fuenral or how he died for that matter. I think his biggest stamp on GH was being the first in a string of guys Maxie hooked up with that were killed off.

It was just a nice funeral with taps playing and Lucky struggling to stand and salute him. The fact he was a non-character doesn't really diminish that it was well done I think.

You can't go wrong with bagpipes playing Amazing Grace

It actually didn't bother me today, although I did love his gray hair a few years back. But then, I admit to having a hopeless crush on TR. Yes, I know he old he is compared to me. No, I don't care laugh.png .

As for today:

Robert. Dude, you just lost your daughter! Be with Anna and Mac and Patrick and Emma for God's sake! I refuse to believe he won't be there until I see it with my own eyes. I'm really hoping he changes his mind and comes back home soon.

I LOVED Anna trying to stop him from leaving, though. Granted, I love her period, but it was still great to see her try to get it in his head that he has his daughter's funeral to attend.

She should have mentioned Emma, though.

The "When is Anna going to break down in tears" Countdown has been going on for awhile now, but when she hugged the koala bear at the end, I thought that it might be coming soon. If nothing else, I want Emma to go to her tomorrow and give her Grandma Anna a big hug. I don't ask for much.

All I could think when I saw Todd & Carly in scrubs today was how I would enjoy Todd seeing his Princess Shorty more than Carly seeing Jasus Morgan Christ.

The Todd & Carly thing was somewhat intriguing today, but I would NEVER want them to be together romantically. Just...no.

So we now know where Jack & Sam are: staying with Tomas. Well...at least we know where they are now. (Code for "I'm not going to go on a OLTL tangent now.")

The Blair & Starr scenes had me teary-eyed at the end. I love them more than ever. wub.png

I'm a sucker for good female friendships, even among some characters I don't know and/or aren't crazy about, and Lulu/Maxie fit the bill here.

I still like JL's Maxie and buy her grief completely. She and Mac hugging at the end sad.png .

Yep, RC's flashback instant replay is alive and well. laugh.png

We need more Robin flashbacks, damn it! mad.gif

Overall, today, I was of two minds: the OLTL fan in me loved the Manning stuff, specifically the Blair/Starr scenes mentioned above. The viewer aware of GH history hopes the goodbye to Robin gets better. A lot better.

I'm not giving up on FV/RC yet, or writing them off as no better than JFP/Guza/Wolf. They go back and forth all the time between good and bad material. Ron is the devil I know, so I'll wait things out for now.

Glutton for Punishmentville. Population: One.

And now, primary GHers, I give you free license to take my Miss Llanview beauty paegant sash and strangle me with it wink.png . As always, I come in peace smile.png.

ETA: I'm still not sure why Hope's hair went from blonde to brunette. wacko.png

She wasnt mentioned today, but I think its more reasonable that they are staying with Tea and Tomas is helping her out. I didnt think there'd be much question in that as she is the closest family they have in town. I cant see them having been left with Viki, Jessica or Natalie, all of whom seemed to be non-factors in their lives. Jack especailly got closer to Tea and Dani in the end, so I definetly see him preferring to be with them

Yeah, Blair had a one-way phone call with Tomas today and said that he was taking care of the kids. What Cheap said about Tea could be true too, though, although since she's further along with her pregnancy (she got pregnant in August, so she should be around 7 months along now), I could actually see Tomas taking care of them by himself (and perhaps getting more assistance from Viki right now).

All I can say is that my history with GH is much longer than my history with OLTL. Still, over the last two years OLTL was the soap on my DVR that I wanted to watch first most days. Sure, it wasn't perfect, but I never felt the core was lost. With GH it was and getting it back will be a long slog.

If nothing else, RC has given me hope that I'll at least want to watch for the next six months. I guess my expectations are such that it would be pretty hard to disappoint me. I'm not looking for things to be great again. I'm looking for the show to be watchable for me and so far, it is.

If not for the terrible exposition dialogue, I'd say KDP made one hell of an entrance into Port Charles. I want her to stay, but I imagine the budget is a bitch right now. The opening proves that if nothing else.

Aside from Viki I don't know if OLTL had a core. I think it was a sense of community but that was taken away, by Frons or ABC, in the great white purge of early 2010. Beyond that the core ended up being rapists and the women who love them.

Part of me actually wonders if Todd/Blair finding out that Victor is alive is what causes them to leave PC and head back to Llanview. Something where Starr is out of the hospital but decides to stay in town while T&B return to deal with the Victor situation.

Just a guess, though.

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
    • Okay, why are Paulina and Abe sleeping like that?!  I'd take a screen grab if I wasn't lazy, but come on.
