A later episode had Carly say that Michael told her he was going straight to his apartment to sleep it off (instead he went to the meeting and then to see Sonny) so I guess that was meant to explain that, kinda, but it still makes ZERO sense. Why would she come pounding in to wake him up then? Why was AJ there ANYWAY? and the line of dialogue did make it sound like she thougth he should have been there all night.

Give them another WGA!

I see your point, but I just pulled it up on YT, and Carly's words support what you say up until the point to where she runs out of the bedroom and excitedly uttered "Michael's bed has not been slept in...he never came home after the nurses ball".

I was just about to stand corrected until I re-watched and I knew I cringed for a reason. Add in Bobby phoned to tell Carly that Lulu has not been found at all but LL are headed in a positive direction, so I'm up!

Don't understand her visit at all :(

Yeah, I was pissed!

I'm sorry, I don't understand why this contradicts Carly thinking Michael would have gone home to sleep after the night with Brenda? What she was saying was Michael hasn't been home in almost 24 hours even though he was dead tired, what's going on? I still don't understand the confusion.

I'm also not sure what your point is about Bobbie and Carly. Can you clarify?

Bobbie/Carly? Not related to the matter at hand, I was just pissed.

As for Carly's words. It just the usual crap that lacks continuity. The script writers don't communicate at all, and I'm just not quite sure why LW said nothing (assuming she didn't). This is just too sloppy. There is no ambiguity there at all, and whomever wrote Carly fighting Brenda in the lobby after arguing with her in the hotel suite because MICHAEL SLEPT WITH BRENDA AND WOKE UP IN HER BED THE NEXT MORNING cannot possibly be the same person who wrote the Carly/AJ scenes. Someone needs to buy these folks some bagels and coffee and introduce them to one another so that they are comfortable communicating on a regular basis. It's just awful!

Oh, I don't think I answered your question. It contradicts simply because Carly knows that Michael didn't go home after the nurses ball because SHE found him in bed with Brenda the next morning. It's just slop, very noticeable slop!

I see it differently. Carly was just saying that Michael hasn't been home since the Nurses Ball, which was last night -- a long time. It doesn't mean she thought he came home after the Nurses Ball. It's clear the writer knew Michael had been with Brenda after the Nurses Ball, because it was talked about in the same episode. I don't see any lack of continuity at all.

I guess she should have just said, "Michael hasn't been home," or "Michael never came home," without mentioning the Nurses Ball, so it would have been clearer. But I don't see it as lack of continuity.

Carly could have said he hasn't been home since I left him at the hotel, or since you (AJ) spoke to him. The dialogue was stupid and made no sense given what transpired. Just a few switches of words would have fixed that but the scriptwriters have been messing up quite a bit in the last several weeks so lets file this one under #GetYourDamnActTogether

That's very possible, but it's easy to crap on GH because this kind of thing happens way too often. The audience does see the things FRon don't believe are important. Something like that is important. It should have been clear. Instead, it looks like lazy carefree writing which could have been prevented, but that can only happen with another team.

lol.

As far as Bobbie's goodbye I thought it was dumb that she gave Carly a phonecall and told her to tell Michael goodbye, but completely ignored her ONLY granddaughter! Not once did she mention Joselyn at all. What grandmother wouldn't want to go and give their very young grandchild a final goodbye and kiss before going across the country? They should have just said that Bobbie said goodbye to them in person and that phone call was just about verifying that she's at the airport about to take off

    • 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.
