I'm beginning to think that bringing Anna, Robert and Holly back was FV/RC's version of the age old "We've met with Agnes" ploy used by each new regime that came to head up AMC during its last four years on the air. Designed to drum up false confidence in their knowledge of the show and its history.

Either that or the returns were already worked out beforehand. I know at the time there was talk that they weren't coming back and RC/FV changed it, but given that they have no interest or idea what to do with them, other than wrapping up Ethan's story, I'm not sure.

Todd & Starr's scenes were great. Not everyone understands it, but Starr will always love her daddy wub.png .

Epiphany rocks, loved her taking Carly to task like that.

Damn, Johnny was checking out Carly's ass as she was leaving like there was no tomorrow in sight . And I am loving Anthony (and now his bag of popcorn) more by the day. I am quickly falling for the Z's.

Ewen/Kate/Connie: GHers, meet DID. We OLTLers will fill you guys in with what we can.

Still holding out hope that Robert will come to Robin's funeral, because I really, REALLY need it to be true.

I have to say, for the first time in literally YEARS, I'm watching all of GH (what I've seen over the last few days). I feel like it's the 1990's again and I'm rushing home to catch my favorite soap. It's weird seeing the Manning's in Port Charles and their saying "Sonny Corinthos" etc's name's, but I'm loving it. This was the best decision made in regards to the show since god knows when.

The fact they weren't on at all this week I think actually made the show superior. I can't say I am liking what I am seeing from the new regime. I have nothing good to say about the writing for Robert and Holly, and Anna is only slightly better. Luke has changed for the better but it just bothers me that Robert and Holly were given such crummy writing. They were deeply in love once, and the show just craps all over Holly every time ES returns. I actually prefer the writing of her as a drug terrorist holding the city ransom. The way Luke and Robert were talking about her the other day was just wrong, and his abandoning Anna when she needs him most is just completely out of character. Of course, she doesn't seem to need him and acts like maybe her car was towed, not that Robin died.

I will go so far as to say Robin's death has turned out to be the worst death I have ever seen on a soap, starting with KMc lackluster last day, to FH's ho hum reaction, to Robert going from suicidal to "Robin who?" in an episode. And Ethan's departure storyline was a total WTF. "She's my daughter, now she's dead! He's your son! No, here I am magically appearing to announce he isn't his son! But wait he really is his son! Psst! Pretend you're not his son." and all in less than 24 hours of PC time.

    • Agreed. The Emmys next year are gonna be a pretty tough competition and I hope we get a Days sweep lol  Not only does Deidre deserve a nomination for these last few weeks, but I also think Paul Telfer, Raven Bowens, Carson Boatman, Dan Feuerriegel and Alison Sweeney have good chances as well.
    • It’s not about a lack of faith and trust in MVJ, it’s about a a lack of faith and trust in Ron Carlivati, who I think can be very sneaky and manipulative when he wants to be.  And, all that “He’s just a breakdown writer” talk never changed my mind about anything, because at Days, it was “just a breakdown writer” that gave us some of the worst episodes I’ve ever seen.

    • 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?
