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.

    • See, I imagine it as some kind of "private" room within a bigger casino.
    • I like Nicole for several reasons, she has all the good attributes and qualities of a good person. You have to be a huge hater to dislike someone like her. I consider Dani an underdog. She had a lot to live up to and she hasn't contributed to the family name imo. Naomi and Martin seem to had more flourishing careers than she has.  She might've had a long marriage, but Bill cheated on her left and right. I am sure they had some good times, but I wouldn't call it a great marriage or anything to brag about. She modeled for what 2/3 years? That's not that successful, especially if she didn't pivot to something more lucrative. And that is the real reason she plays momanger cause she is living through Chelsea. Dani is nothing without her family name. Nicole doesn't need the Dupree; she made her own mark! And that's what you should do when you're born with privilege, flip that [!@#$%^&*]! The opportunity is there for the writers to play up her insecurities and resentment issues, but will they? There must've been a reason for her to choose Bill over someone with more status, or coming from another wealthy family. Right?  I don't expect everyone to understand her, but I do, and probably would've made her a more screw up and didn't amount to much outside having some kids.  The lack of crossover from the in-laws always bothered me, too. I hope at some point we get some family dinners. I know it's not earth-shattering entertainment, but I'm a sucker for those scenes. And you can still move the story along, too! I forgot all about my boo Jacob, and he was on today. He, for some reason, reminds me of Garfield the cat!

      You're right about that hetero bio son Dupree, though.  
    • The casino set needs to be upgraded or needs to go. Why would anyone rich spend their time in the wood paneled 1960’s room instead of just playing cards in what I assume is the normal nice looking casino area.
    • It wasn't his first appearance, though; per the end credits, he is a principal guest star (a.k.a. recurring).
    • Vanessa was flirty with Smitty, and it was weird. Smitty didn't think anything about it was cute or fun. The sex talk between Cody and Vanessa at Orphey Gene's? Also weird af. We needed either a longer scene or another scene to make any of that work. Vanessa is coming off like a nymphomaniac. Forced for plot convenience, just as it was when we saw Eva (HUH???) in that casino backroom. Sorry, none of this casino stuff works. I thought the same thing -- I enjoyed all the different character groupings, but the dialogue was not natural and didn't flow. Yep, kinda weird. I don't get it. Of course, I also don't get the discussion of not having Doug as the surgeon. Is he the only doctor anyone trusts? Then we have June's entire heart procedure talked about, performed, and over within 20 minutes of screen time. -- Cady McClain gives us a different variation of that accent every time she appears. The dialogue between Pamela and Dani is too cute by half. -- BTG, please stop mentioning Martin's run for the presidency. -- I hope we're not going to see Ted soften towards Dana and be taken in by her line of bull. She just blew up his life, and I don't want to see him sympathize with her in any way.
    • Agree.  But I would describe him as being disappointed not bitter. 
    • >>><<< Great minds!  Kat certainly does prove that point. She's been given a lot to work with, so we shouldn't be bored of her anytime soon. I am interested in all her storylines at the moment, and curious how the show will use the affair to impact her romances and business stories. Well, what movie was it? Cause… I noticed it too. The first couple of seconds of the song were slightly different. OMG! Great call, precisely the same situation.
    • I think Kin was dissatisfied at GH in as much as Scotty had been pushed aside for Luke/Laura and the writing was doing him no favors as Scotty was now seen as an obstacle to their romance. So with his contract up he was offered big $$$ to move to Texas, which you can't blame him for. In addition to the money, I recall he was promised that Jeb would be a more dynamic character than Scotty. The money came through but not the story, so  don't blame him for being  slightly bitter.

    • A random thought - June is related to Hayley AND Tyrell and Samantha. Hayley and June are sisters separated when young. Years later June's children Ty and Sam end up being adopted into the Dupree family, coincidentally giving Hayley a further link to that family.
