As soon as this "daydream" started, that's exactly what I thought. Never mind the OBVIOUS recycled, cliched storyline. This is Carlivati, so that's par for the course. My first reaction was: WOW! This is definitely a HUGE leap of faith. Having these two brand new characters that literally showed up out of nowhere in the middle of the week and already write such a heavy handed daydream, hoping the audience -- WHICH HAS NO CONNECTION TO THESE RANDOM PEOPLE -- will care about them enough to be invested.

As an extremely casual GH viewer, I was sure that I had missed a lot, but to hear that these characters were as new to you all as they were to me, wow. I will say that I was intrigued by the sheer randomness of it all. But come on, one look at this beginning, and you can already see the middle and end of this story.

i agree as a Kent and Minae fan they bailed on two great stories for them right aound NShift...Kelly and Andy Archer (Dr. Feelgood) with her sex addiction they made her a sex addict and Lainey (who never had a love scene in her tenure) had story with Justis before they whacked him and with the military guy who came home from Iraq (Cody Paul) then Kiko came on board as Stan he saw the writing on the wall when they replaced him with Spinelli as the tech expert and left ASAP They had fans from Port Charles who were requesting them scenes/storyline together but ~crickets they had scenes on the roof a date that's it.

They also assembled an awesome very charismatic hospital staff including Dr. Leo Julian and the African American/Black nurse Regina (from NS1 I also liked the NShift 2 med staff)...but they dropped the ball and refused to write for them too; I never understood it. Next thing I know Archer is gassed and killed off. There was a lot of story for them.

As for these newbies who were plopped into a triangle with Patrick day 1 there are no words. There was no build up just BAM! as has been said as if the story has been going on for months and I know these people ... its awful and they've laid the orchestration and manipulation with heavy handed writing to root for Ugly Betty err...Sabrina vs the ManEater. Its more than obvious who will win...the fumbling bumbling shy nurse with a secret crush on the handsome wealthy widowed neurosurgeon...just because its corny doesn't mean it couldn't have been written well for a good story.

LOL. They sure shoved these two THIRSTY hospital girls down our throat fast & out of nowhere. It's a toss up who Ron will have go bat crazy - the stuck up bitchy doctor or the awkward, nerdy nurse? Or both. The story is pointless though and is only being done to give JT/Patrick something to do until Kimberly McCullough is ready to do come back again (rolleyes.gif)

BTW. Did I hear right? Is the bitchy Dr's last name Wexler? Is she related to Dr. Karen Wexler?

I think I would've enjoyed the Kate/Trey reveal better if the Connie gimmick wasn't integrated in. Ugh! I thought KSu was doing a pretty ok job until she was forced to make weird sounds & look constipated as she transitioned into Connie. Awful! I felt extremely sorry for Trey. EV did a nice job in those scenes.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Agreed!

    • Lol, I enjoy classical music and I really think Gio is a talented musician.  I just don't know if it's the soundstage they are filming it on or what, but it sounds so screechy on TV.  I don't recall all his performances sounding like that. Rocco-"this was all my fault not Gio's or even Danny's.  No one made me drink.  I am being accountable". Dante-"Nope still 100% GIO's FAULT!!!" Just shut it Dante! Alexis and Lucky deserve more than having to protect Kristina's crazy butt. I like Cody and Lulu teaming up.  Finally someone is agreeing with Lulu.  
    • After watching the performances tonight I can't understand why Finland and Malta are seen as some of the favourites. Finland's song is not one of the best this year and I maintain that Miriana Conte who represents Malta is a poor singer. My guess is that it's because of the controversial nature of both these songs. I'm not all that impressed with Austria either. But France on the other hand emerged as a big contender tonight. A beautiful song, a wonderful singer and fantastic staging. Greece also had a spectacular stage show which definitely enhanced their chances. I guess it's part nostalgia factor but I really want Luxembourg to go through to the final as well. I love the homage to France Gall and Laura Thorn sold the song very well. Much better than in the clip from the national final.
    • The older Ted was more unlikeable. The character came across warmer and mo sympathetic today whereas the older one portrayed him with a dark side. Thats why I said his scenes with Leslie will tell alot bc thats where he comes across the most like a villain and had me feeling bad for her at times
    • I completely agree @Soaplovers with your excellent comment.  And the bold, confident Stephanie we saw in her previous incarnations would be a much better match for Alex than the one trying to play house too soon. Let’s not forget: Alex came on the scene as a walking red flag with a gym membership—dodging commitment in love and work. And now he’s out here giving career advice? From a man whose last job was playing a soap star no one in Salem has even heard of? Sir. What I’d love is for Stephanie to be a genuine challenge for him—not someone who bends to his charm, but someone who knows she’s the prize. She’s a free agent in Salem: no ex-husband drama, no kid in tow, no awkward family entanglements. Let her be more like Kayla now—centered, respected, and not here for games—than Kayla was when she was falling off motorcycles with Steve. The next great Salem love story shouldn't be about chemistry alone. It should be earned—like Patch and Kayla, Shane and Kim, or even Bo and Hope on their best days. Give us slow burn, mutual respect, and a Stephanie who makes him level up.
    • It's looking like I may be in the minority, but nuTed is a major improvement to me. I agree, it will take a few days to get used to the higher pitched voice and smaller stature, but his acting is so much better. I can feel the emotions in his voice and face and it just feels more real and natural.  Kat was great today too, giving us the tears and her softer side. Loved Leslie/Bill - we need more of this!  Did y'all notice Leslie's snake necklace?? So creepy, but fitting for her haha. Tomorrow should be an updated intro with Keith, unless they repeat the second one for days until they get it updated.
    • Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! ✌

    • It was all about Gio today, boys

      He was really sweet and dorky though, and I enjoyed the violin lol. And he looked good too  I'm speculating that the big reveal will happen at Gio's birthday party. It's definitely time. But yeah, he really should've gotten advice and encouragement from someone, from anyone other than Sonny though. And while I understand where Dante is coming from, he was a little annoying today again. They really needed to establish this tension and anger a lot sooner than now, or not do it at all. Plus, this had already been done with Mac/Cody, Nina/Willow, etc., and honestly, it doesn't seem necessary here.  As for Lucky and Liz, as much as I like angsty couples, I'm still concerned about what Frank may (or may try to) do with them. The biggest reason why Lucky is like a 'cowboy' is because this friggin guy spent the better part of a decade basically erasing him from existence.
    • True, lol. IIRC, Rita Moreno said in an interview that part of the problem was that Susan Harris was ill during the week they taped that episode and therefore was unable to make needed script changes.  I wonder what might have happened had they been able to delay the taping until she felt well enough to work more on the script.  I feel like "Nest" might've sold with Moreno and Paul Dooley (although the patient with DID would've needed to be eighty-sixed regardless, lol).
    • What is the most recent episode in which Maurice Johnson's Ted wore a turtleneck?
