I understand why they are go-go-go story-wise - FV had to go balls to the wall to keep the show on the air, much like Monty all those years ago. But there was also much more quality control, and money for it therein back in those days. And Frank's taste is sometimes iffy. I love the show and what it does well even as I hate what it gets wrong, and it gets plenty wrong. It's a longer conversation for when I haven't injured my wrist, which I'm sure half of SON helped bring about with black magic. So, success, you guys! Result!

On another note: "No, silly! Felix likes boys!" was adorable. I just like that a kid like the little girl playing Emma will grow up in an environment and a climate where she can be that matter-of-fact and it's no big thing. It's sweet. I'm easy. Also I just took pain pills.

I was thinking the same thing about Emma today!

I totally get that drive to save the show, it made sense. But now the show is overloaded with characters and story and it's just all too much. It's so busy, I feel like Nikolas getting shot is given the same importance as Sabrina graduating from nursing school!

I would say less so bc there was no buildup to it. We didnt even get a chance to let Nik being back settle and then he's shot. Already seems like a waste of a return. Let me guess, he remains in a coma for weeks as we wait for Lulu to return and her captor to be revealed to everyone?

It is. And that's a problem.

I don't mind GH becoming an action-centric show again, and having a large canvas. And I think a lot of it is great. But RC and FV's scale for balance, as well as character, has been all over the place for quite a while. They don't have the quality control for their daily shows that they did five years ago. The show is often very seat of their pants. And sometimes I think they prefer it that way. I admire ingenuity on the fly, because that is my business, but not if the quality consistently degrades.

Felix (to Milo): "I don't mind if you ask Sabrina out"

Emma: "Well I do dry.png "

rolleyes.gif Over this disrespectful, pressed ass little girl.

Felix's jealousy over Milo is embarrassing to watch. He needs to GET OVER IT. He rejected you MONTHS ago. Why is Milo acting so clueless? Did he forget Felix has a crush on him? I found it surprising when he said they've been gym besties for a while now. Oh, whatever! rolleyes.gif

Did they really bring Nik back only to have him shot right away and put into a coma? WTF is that? I mean wow, not even one solid scene between him & Laura... e8099.gif

^^^Crush? Sabrina has a crush. Felix wanted to have sex with a perfect stranger. That is hardly anything Milo should or needs to remember. If F's feelings are hurt, too damn bad. It's shameful that someone wrote not so long ago Felix propositioning this man only now it has turned into "feelings"? Milo is not acting clueless. As far as he knows, this is over as he told a stranger in a bar that he was not gay and would not be having sex with him. Now, this stranger has popped back up and is conveniently a friend doesn't change that we saw Milo already tell this man that he's straight.

Idiot "writers"!

Nothing against Lesley but Helena kept her a doped-up prisoner for over a decade, so how is she going to be able to protect anyone from Helena? What a random reason for her to not be there. I wonder if they tried to get DA back.

LOL Alexisfan, I usually don't come for you but did you really use a pic of LC from 30+ years ago against her Stretch Tight days to prove a point? You could easily just compare a Stretch tight from 5 years to now and not look so..desperate.

It's all about a moment of shock - not well-acted or written shock, just shock - and nothing else. No one, even the mother, gave a [!@#$%^&*] when Sam's baby died. I was amazed. They were basically telling viewers not to even bother caring. None of these stories have any stakes.

    • 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?
