1a. While I'm still skeptical on whether this roasting the Slagbeast over a spit will last longer than a week (as I've been burned too many times by this show to immediately embrace this joyous occasion as a new day), it warmed the cockles of my heart to see Monica do what she should've done ages ago. My only regret is that Monica didn't follow that slap by stomping her down like the the greasy roach that she is.

While I've never had any use for Big Alice (I'm a Reginald fan forever), I'll gladly become a fan of hers if she does this to the Slagbeast today:

1b. While I'm also still skeptical about the return to prominence of The Real AJ (as I've been burned by Ron before when it comes to his refusal to sacrifice his faves for far more appealing characters), it also warms my heart that he chose not to run out (though I certainly wouldn't have blamed him if he obeyed his mother after that delicious slap) and endure the Slagbeast's petty bullsh!t as a means to reach out to Eeyore.

If Eeyore actually follows through in giving his father a chance while changing his name to the rightful surname of Quartermaine, I may just refer to him by his given name. ;)

2a. Seeing Faison in all his batshit glory almost brought me to tears of joy. It's been too long since I've seen my favorite GH villain and to see AH step back into the role seamlessly (as SK has with AJ) in the span of 2 seconds made me smile. Although I was glad to see that the Real Duke is alive (though, not well), I will have to snatch the crown from him to bestow on Faison's bedraggled head as the best damn character on this show right how. To say that I cannot wait to see the level of evil that he has cooking is an understatement, so I will simply thank Cartini a thousand times for bringing this treasure back into my soap life.

2b. Not that I am surprised, but my Robin has been on fire lately - all the more reason why showkillers Guza/JFP/Frons' refusal to give her character decent storylines throughout her second stint was criminal. I'm so thrilled that Cartini value my girl as more than just Sonny & the roided goiter's asslicker/Patrick's wife and are rightfully utilizing her almost-30-year history on this show. Her faceoff with Faison is a prime example of why Robin Scorpio is not only the Daughter of Port Charles, but one of soaps' all-time most valuable characters.

It is with this in mind that I thank Cartini for recognizing her/KMc's worth to this show in a way that the rancid previous regime never did.

Get OUT of my head. I gave up GH during Guza's last two years and swore I would never ever go back. Everything I had cherished about the show had been burned to the ground. While I still eye Carlivati with trepidation (I'm still not sure he loves Duke as much as I do; and I can't EVEN with Queen Luke), I am back to watching GH full-time after last week. And enjoying every minute.

Truly I never thought I would see the day when the show has a true-blue, over-40, smart, beautiful heroine, but it does in Anna Devane.

Never did I think that Snarly would ever be called out on her [!@#$%^&*], ESPECIALLY what she did to AJ, the whipping-boy humiliated in order to prop up Jason and Sonny -- but it's happening. And by Monica no less!

Never did I think Robin would get a Scorpio-worthy story outside of fighting off all the women throwing themselves at her self-righteous ass of a husband!

Never did I think Cesar Faison (aka Lorenzo Alcazar's hair inspiration) would return -- because god forbid this show have villains who are smarter and just all-around BETTER than that idiot mob dwarf and his dead-eyed sidekick.

Toups is right. This is the best soap by a country mile right now.

    • I saw this earlier and had to piggyback to it.   I mentioned before how they love to give characters shades of grey on this show which I love. And with Dani, they have always shifted her between protagonist and antagonist since Week 1. Having good nice moments...and then her over-the-top moments. I still holler every time I see a gif of her mugshot-turn-photoshoot. It's why she's so divisive in my opinion. Just look at this board. Dani actually been background for a month and a half now and people still feel a way just looking at her. Just wait until she's truly back in an A story.

          In any case, when we do see Dani...she's not doing anything over-the-top or crazy. She really hasn't done anything but sex up Andre which is scandalous while slowly catching feelings...but is quite C plot really. She's trying to start her business. Again...C plot for now. She's being there for family members. Nothing crazy, but a litttle too nice for a livewire such as herself as established in Week 1 and when she broke into Bill and Hayley's house so it's about time for the writers to put her back in that 'annoying' over-the-top way. I don't like it myself, but she is overdue one of her shifts the writers do with her so it is not surprising.
    • Emma, FTW!!!!!! Her words today to Joss were beautiful. And so well deserved!

      If only Cam had been the one to say it
    • -- Laura to Sonny: "I will always love and respect you." GAG ME. This stuff doesn't lead me to respect Sonny more, but to respecting Laura less. -- Carly being brought into the Gio/Brook Lynn story by Lulu. GAG ME. Why does Carly have to be a part of every damn story on this show?
    • This episode was probably the most we've ever seen of Jan.. and it took long enough. The phone conversation between Jan/Ashley also shed light on their backstory.. and I think it explains why Ashley seems to live in a dreamworld and why she's having difficulties with living with Derek.  Derek could be doing everything right and Ashley would still have a problem because she was an only child, didn't see her mother model positive male/female interactions, and sounds as if she was alone a lot of the time. Nicole is modeling healthy human behavior and she would be smart not to listen to Dani's advice... well intentioned as it is. Eva is the character you root for because she's suffering the consequences of her actions.  And if I were Eva, I wouldn't want to be part of the Dupree world.   I'm hoping the Doug/Joey scenes today is signaling that we're finally moving to the next stage of this story... Doug either asking Vanessa for the money, or letting Joey have dibs on Vanessa's business books, etc.   And Joey finally showing his true colors makes me think we might be approaching that next stage of this story.
    • Lord have mercy!!! Not SilkPress vs Eva at Oprhany Gene for everyone to see!!!! Though I loved Vernon shading SilkPress. I continue to love all this fallout.   Is THAT Joey's endgame?
    • WAIT!!?  You don't want to know CM's workout secrets?  And a recap of his insta feed?  What's wrong with you?   Anyhow, today's show had good character moments.  I feel like Sonny/Laura brought it down.  I really like Tracey and Jason scenes so I think I am a weirdo.  Carly/Lulu were actually pretty good as well, but Carly's dress was some sort of bondage/leather type situation?  It was a strange wardrobe choice lol.
    • Oh God When are we gonna see this on BTG?
    • Yeah, I don't really love Felicity being used to push the Chad/Cat agenda.  I don't get the question on Xander's behavior either.  He was wrong and offensive. I like Xander.  I think Paul Telfer is great.  If Marlena did the same thing I would say she's wrong too.  Characters are imperfect and that's fine.  
    • Vanessa told Joey that her best friend had cheated and has a surprise daughter.  Joey said the same had happened to him.  I wasn't sure if Joey was saying he has an adult out-of-wedlock child?
    • Interesting. I definitely think that it's possible that Jan could be a former lover of Joey's from back in the day, maybe back when he was still married. I won't be surprised if it comes out at some point that Jan used to be an escort or something.
