I don't hate Carly. But Skye was a worthless bint who bitched about the breakup of her marriage to Jax, but made her bed and had to lie in it. I don't blame Brenda. Jax was going to run to Brenda the minute he got a chance, Skye just misplayed her hand horribly and she was useless on GH. So, if Skye comes back I hope Brenda hands her another drink

I don't usually hate characters too often, but I hate Skye. I thought she was out of place on GH and Sax was soooo forced because Vm was returning. I don't think J&B acted great in the situation, but it was clearly a marriage built on plot points so I didn't care much. I think RC is a great actress and very beautiful, but there is something cold and unlikable about her, IMO. I never felt sorry for that girl. Besides, Jax dumped Brenda on her ass and he STILL didn't take Skye back. Never did. I think that says it all, since Jax is a glutton for punishment. He will take Brenda and Carly and even Courtney back after they cheat, but never even entertained the idea of hooking back up with Skye.

Watched the anniversary show...

Once I skipped Brenda/Jax/Sonny/Carly and Helena and the Spencer losers, I enjoyed it. I actually thought Rick's return made sense, although I still want to see him with Lesley again. Stuart looked very frail but I was happy to see him. I would have preferred seeing Dawn instead of Emily, but Natalia Livingston looked so happy to be involved that I was happy for her. The scenes were sweet, not too sappy, not too "wacky."

Audrey and Liz were easily the highlight - a wonderful performance from Rachel Ames, with strong support from Becky Herbst. I felt like this was a goodbye to Audrey, and one that she deserved. I'm glad she got the chance. I also loved the flashback they chose.

The tribute to Steve in the guise of "the hospital goes on" was more than fitting, good work from Jason Thompson and especially Sonya Eddy, who really can act when she's given the chance.

I thought these elements were probably close to the best anniversary tribute GH could have in its current state. I'm glad I got a chance to watch it. And while I rarely have a kind word to say about these two, I will thank Ron and Frank for those Audrey scenes.

Wow, I can't believe Helena is dead. I hope they have a cassadinish way of reviving her. CT was great in the role and was wonderfully dressed all 15 years. I think my favorite Helena memory is when she killed Stefan and was kissing him with a hint of incest, and then ninja Helena out to kill Chloe all in black.

    • I remember seeing him briefly when Rick went to confront her about her blackmailing him. (I briefly forgot that Rick's sleeping with Claire at this time was a retcon - or her lying that she slept with him, whatever that story was). I wonder if he interacted with Kurt given that Mark Lewis later took his ATWT role. I tried to watch some of the full episode and it was all so alien and uninvolving. Roxy having a meltdown on that construction site for Mindy and Kurt's house that never gets built. Ed with Ross and Vanessa dealing with custody issues. Even Ross and Vanessa seemed flat, with Vanessa seeming oddly meek.
    • She did. It was during a party at Amanda's. She didn't literally throw herself at him, but she was subtly coming on to him and he quickly shut her down. Yes, I remember she not only made a pass at Justin, she convinced Jackie that he was harassing her sexually. She also tried to convince Sara that he was pestering her. Everyone banged Josh back then, LOL. Whoa. I must have missed a good chunk of this first time around because I don't remember Reva going to India.  What I recall is Harley being a nanny to the kids and then Reva driving off the bridge. Then they kind of toyed with the idea of Josh and Harley getting together but I don't think that ever happened. Yes, that all happens but I don't recall the tumor. Maybe that's coming up soon with the videos being uploaded to Spauldingfield. The last one I watched, she was planning to vamp Kyle while taking care of the pregnant Maeve.
    • I am a little disappointed that the show will be writing Jenn as in the wrong for her not liking Cat, when she's actually in the right.  Maybe if Cat was played by a competent actress and had a purpose, I would be more behind this propping of the character. And I can't wait for the funeral for John Black to be over and then we can proceed and move on.  
    • I'm not sure if the boy Carrie 2 seduced (I think his name was Ron) was still in high school or in college, but I remember he was very shy. I don't recall her making a pass at Alan, but she did make one at Justin, and she ended up banging Josh. I think there was an out of town business man too. Reva thought Josh and Vanessa were having an affair. Vanessa had just been fired by Roger, and when Reva took off to India, Van started helping Josh with the children. He then hired Van to work at Lewis. She would hear him on a business call with Van and think they were arranging a tryst. Or they sat too close together on the couch, so of course they were hiding an affair from her. It was very weird and blew up really quick.  It culminated at the party Reva was throwing at the club to introduce Dylan to Justin. Reva imagined everyone whispering about her and then she dumped a tray of drinks on Vanessa. When Vanessa hauled her into the ladies room to ask WTF, Reva accuses them of having an affair, asks if Van's pregnant, and then knocks her to the floor. I do think Claire had a tumor. I know around Valentine's day, Claire is making passes at a young businessman (or maybe even someone college age), and Ross (Van kinda pushed her at him because she's not keen on Calla). There's also a young intern played by Burke Moses that I think she sleeps with.
    • Congratulations to Carlos Alcaraz on his second win at the French Open!

        If the standard of play in the women's final yesterday wasn't of the highest caliber, that is not something you could say about today's final. It was absolutely fantastic tennis. 
    • When Barbara's letter was read (partly in Barbara's voice), there was commenting upthread that Barbara's voice is similar to the voice of Naomi's unhoused client June.  It did sound like her.  June is played by Jasmine Burke.  Per closing credits, Barbara was voiced by Sherita Bolden.  Still possible that they are connected. From our discussion on the May thread:  Looks and/or voices similar between June, Haley, and Tracy.   Tracy looks like Debbi Morgan. LOL so June might be connected to Haley, Tracy, or Barbara; and/or Samantha&Tyrell. I love that we don't know!
    • In the 1987 episodes, Mary has wonderful conversations with MJ and Cheryl. This is a realistic family with believable dynamics. Mary's ambivalence towards Vince is played nicely. Denise Alexander is so good here. I don't know what happened that the writers or producers just decided to chuck it all away. I don't FF these scenes. The show had a strong family that could have had years of storyline and they did nothing with them. I really don't get it. 
    • I can't speak for Sonni, but I thought Annie came off as neurotic from very early on. That's just how Cynthia Watros plays her parts, and the writing went along. I don't think Claire was mentally ill - they claimed she had a brain tumor, didn't they? I am never sure just why they made the effort given that she was leaving anyway. 
    • @DeeVee Claire is a perfect example. So many women came to Springfield as competent, smart, and talented professionals. Then they’d attract a so-called “good guy,” get dumped, and spiral into complete chaos. What always strikes me is how clearly it plays like a male fantasy—yet it was written and sold to a female audience.  I'm not a content expert, but I don't think cis gendered women fantasize about losing control of their mental faculties in response to an orgasm. Similar to Holly's story, it seems repulsive, because I don't believe women fantasize about becoming more vulnerable and appealing to men after they've been assaulted.
