Seeing old clips of Robert and Holly spoil me for most of this. Anna is just a dead fish at this point and I can't care about her love life.

(I realize that what has become of Holly would likely be even worse)

As for Duke, it's tough to get on a high horse about the dangers of his being back in the mob when the show has such a wishy-washy attitude toward the mob.

If Duke was being forced to work with Faison, that would have an impact. Not Sonny.

Anna can be annoying. I prefer Holly over her.

Yeah, I remember it being so awkward when they had Rafe shirtless almost right after he debuted.

I prefer Anna/Robert. Duke and Anna are snoozeville. I mean, I like them together too but yawn.

Duke going back into the mob, or wanting to go after Julian, IMO, makes sense, but they haven't bothered to really delve into why so it all falls basically flat.

Remember how Rafe was on every single day when he first debuted? I much prefer this whole being on only once a month thing.

The people of Port Charles can repeat the fact that the mob war is going to be dangerous as much as they want--doesn't change the fact that the writing is as wishy washy with the mob as can possibly be. Sonny even looked shocked & saddened when he shot Carlos. And Ava was shocked that there was bloodshed. I mean, come on.

And don't get me started on Morgan. He was whining, Molly was whining. It was just too much to bear. When Morgan shot Max it was the mother of all rolling eyes. I thought my eyes would never come back to their proper place (or I wished they hadn't, otherwise I would have to keep watching).

I chanted "dump that bitch" all the way through Patrick & Sabrina's scenes. Oh, they tried to make them all sad with the music and stuff but all I wanted was to get to what was obviously going to be the Patrick/Robin ending scene. That [!@#$%^&*] was great.

Thank you for pointing out how ridiculous it was for so many to be upset that people actually got shot in a "mob war" shooting!

Sonny having a reaction to shooting Pigpen? Why because it wasn't an actual relative Sonny shot? It all was just too ridiculous with absolutely no substance!

The only thing missing was Sonny shooting Morgan and Olivia running into the place with a "OMG Sonny! YOU SHOT YOUR OWN SON!"

I know Ron loves doing these episodes, but I hate it--and it goes back to OLTL's finale with the narration. WHY is Obrecht narrating this episode? (And Disney placement for a closed show-- but Peter and the Starcatcher is awesome, so...)

A terrorist on at least 2 continents is singing the Christmas eppy? I guess I should be grateful it wasn't KA, huh?

LOL And the scenes between Carlos and Sabrina seem like they are right out of that telenovela abc.com had for Ugly Betty.

Yeah this.X-Mas episode is a total dud, not Christmas like at all

Loved Dr.O and Sonny scenes. Dr. O has a nice singing voice.

UGH Kaka STFU and go away!

Yep.

Olbrecht has a great voice. She did good on that Peggy Lee song a couple of months back, but this was really nice.

Does GH instruct their male actors to perpetually look like they have insanely chapped lips?
