LOL! All I see is Sonny trying to be 'sexy' with Claire-which was gross since they have anti-chemistry, Maxie being annoying, Brenda having to deal with Spixie drama which is so uneccessary, and Jason being the voice of reason as always. Why on earth would Brenda have anything to do with Spixie and why is Maxie so irrationally mad at her? Anyhow, she did throw a dig in at Kate, but I seem to recall Kate telling Carly how much better she was than Brenda/S&B right before her ill-fated wedding to Sonny. Brenda can be bitchy, but I don't think she has any ill-will or any feelings at all about Kate. We shall see what transpires in her return.

I tend to think every writer has a different take on Scotty. Is he a romantic hero, villian, or lovable anti-hero? There hasn't been cohesive writing for Scotty in twenty years (mostly Guza's fault). On PC, he was a very different Scotty than he was on GH in the early-mid 2000's. They should definitely keep him out of Laura's sphere because he is never gonna win that game. Everytime he is with her he becomes the villian and Luke gets propped up to the hero.

Re: Claire - if I didn't know showkiller Guza's MO like the back of my hand, I could've liked Claire - not as a love interest of Sonny's, but a nifty successor to Dara Jensen. The actress wasn't bad and I enjoyed that character's initial hatred of the sucktastic threesome almost as much as I did Judge Country's.

I'm not even going to discuss the fuckery that was our girl being stuck in roided goiter hell (as far as I'm concerned Minnie Mouse Maxie and Jar Jar Binks is a symptom of that sh!t) for damn near half her time in PC instead of interacting with her actual loved ones (Robin, Sonny, the Qs), so I'll just say that I can easily brush that one-off of The Real Kate Howard towards Brenda because neither woman knew one another well enough to make that claim. Whether they would've ended up friends or rivals, I do know that it would've been a lot better than what showkiller Guza subjected me to.

I don't know that I consider Tony to be in the same category, as I'd seen him as more of the steady and dependable type (much like Mac). They didn't lose at love as much as AJ and Scott did, but they were considered safe bets.

As for Scott, I did enjoy him and Lucy together (though my heart will always be with her and Sigmund's daddy), but they never set it up so that they'd have a lasting relationship (which I think had more to do with Lucy being fun-loving at the time than Scott being an undesirable option). I know that he isn't liked by many, but I don't think that he's awful enough to end up alone in the end in the same way that I wish of other males on canvas.

    • 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?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
