I actually think Emme Rylan has done an incredible job from the start of this mess to the end. I think she's more than earned her place on the show, and I don't get the people crying for Julie Berman who spent her last several years on GH looking and acting like she'd rather be anywhere else.

I was never part of the Cult of Marcy Rylan - I thought she was passable on GL and horribly out of place on Y&R - but I do think she's worked out here and probably done the best work of her short career. I don't get the hate people have. I really am rooting and feeling for her Lulu, even if Ron is about to throw her right under the bus.

I'll be the opposite here but Dante was not wrong in telling the truth! He should not have lied on the stand. Lulu was the one in the wrong here. It was stupid and foolish of her and she should not have done it. So what she considered running away? She didn't do it. She really should have been honest, downplayed it and let Alexis deal with that. She is the one that messed things up for herself. Its not right to now give Dante the cold shoulder and blame him. They did not lose custody bc he told the truth. The judge made it clear that he was going to side with the birth parents on this and the only way Lulu and Dante were going to keep Connie was if those birth parents were unfit. Maxie was proven to be unfit, but Spinelli was not. What Dante said was irrelevant to the outcome. He is not to blame for that.

Elizabeth's helmet hair just isnt working. The style is just so bland and could use some more additional work.That cut might be better with a different color as her current color is a bit drab and boring. She could look cute with some highlights or maybe an ombre

I cant with Felix anymore. When it comes to him having one on ones with people, I will FF his scenes. He is the absolute worse thing about GH today

The outcome is irrelevant. All Lulu required from her husband was to have her back, especially since Dante has lied under oath before. Sonny looked him in the eye and put a bullet in chest, yet Mr. Holier Than Thou Falconeri lied because he found out the man who gunned him down was blood. Dante didn't even know this man, so there was no reason to lie for him. His wife needs him to lie and Dante is conveniently an officer of the court? Unacceptable! It was just stupid, but it looks like this is the set up for what's next with Lante.

Dante made a mistake and he was wrong to lie back then. So bc he made a mistake a few years ago, he has to be consistent and continue to make it when the opportunity presents itself? What kind of logic is that? Lying under oath is wrong no matter what. Chalk it up to him learning from his mistakes and doing better. Lulu shouldn't have put him in that position. As a cop he definitely shouldn't be lying under oath that doesn't even matter. He is a citizen like all the rest sworn to tell the truth and that's what he did. Why are we trying to rationalizing him committing a crime here bc that's what perjury is.

I think Lulu is only one step short of getting to the point---Dante wanted to give the baby back as soon as the truth came out. He supported her delusional court case and effort to trash her/their friends. I don't think he owed her more, frankly.

I've stated before that I don't believe Dante wanted this fight but didn't have the courage to tell his wife so he humiliates her in public. That didn't have to happen. Tell her the truth that the baby belongs to Spixie and they can't do this and the outcome is they lose the baby. Don't tell Lulu the truth and let her continue the fight that he does not want, she lies under oath and loses the kid she probably was not going to get anyhow. The outcome is the same, so all of this could have been avoided had Dante been honest with his wife. If Dante was not going to be honest with his wife, then have her back!

As for today's eppy, I just started it. Did anyone else notice that it's dark outside at the MC and Wyndemere but the judge has not adjourned for the day with AJ's trial?

    • I assume in name only?  One Stormy Night wasn't exactly steamy.  If it's a literal throwback then Stephanie's writing about sexy times her own Uncle was having lol. Since I am going to surmise it's just a throwback to the name, Night Sins and Winter Heat both sound sexier.  Just saying.  I swear Jamey (and Ron) just google things and land on the first thing they like and decide it's a good throwback to history without watching it.
    • I usually don't want Tide placement in the middle of an intense sad scene, but this is an interesting point

    • Thanks!   Was anyone watching during this time? Wondering how Peggy’s rape played out onscreen. It just seems cruel to subject the Brooks family to this trauma a 2nd time.   Feels like the writers have already given up on the character of Jennifer, even though she sticks around another year-plus. She should be a passionate and fierce protective mother, but instead she seems just reactionary (and not even mentioned in this recap) This was also the case in ‘73 when Chris was raped. The writers are definitely more invested Stuart as the Brooks parent.
    • BTG got another SNL reference at 00:50  CONTEXT (so it isn't misconstrued) in this joke swap segment, Michael Che frequently makes his white cohost Colin Jost read racist jokes written by Che.

    • It's obvious that Israel's presence is a major divisive issue, and this is something that the EBU needs to deal with. According to the now published results Israel got 13 out of a possible 19 max points in the semi-final, and while their song isn't bad there's no way they would get those numbers without some kind of manipulation/political voting. They are clearly using this contest as a way of improving their somewhat tarnished reputation. I know that some people are comparing this to the massive sympathy votes that Ukraine gets and which propelled them to victory in 2022, but I feel that that was a more genuine show of support than this concerted effort from Israel to influence the televoting. I even had an ad on Youtube from Israel in Swedish(!) asking for votes! It might not be against any rules, but it feels a bit icky nonetheless.
    • Yeah, as you wrote, an Israeli win would have been a political disaster. Congratulations to Austria. 0 points from the televoting to Switzerland was a disgrace. Other than that, I really enjoyed the show ... but I'm also glad that Eurovision season is over

    • Hahaha Sorry if I was too negative, I just started typing and typing once I got going hahaha
    • @dc11786 Thanks for taking time to answer my various questions, along with giving your thoughts on the different writing teams. I wonder why they didn't just have Ryder and TR leave together if Jane was going anyway. The discussions over the last few pages have made me more interested in watching these episodes than I have been over the years - without the extra details and analyses provided, these years can be difficult to decipher (not helped by how often Jo seems like a side character).
