This makes the quote in Variety about tuning in to soaps after not watching for years and seeing familiar faces all the more absurd. At least regarding GH. If you tune in to GH and see familiar faces, you were watching other shows years ago.

And Slimeass has already mourned Nina more than Sam mourned Jason. And now he will mourn the loss of his dead baby. I know a lot of people hated Jason and his box of pain, but this is ridiculous.

Madeline and Liesl!!! It's been a long time, hasn't it?

KS looks better since finally putting on some weight but Maxie is still a twit. But she does seem like a master thespian compared to Ryan Paevey and whoever plays her friend. Good God with the awful.

Olivia is so overdramatic. Putting her with MB/Sonny just makes it worse.

Nik practically has a mullet. Ugh! The scene where Liz saw him in the ER was nice but that's about it. She's one of the only people that I like that's not a complete caricature.

Franco is just a yapping dog! I hate RH's acting.

KT really is the Bree Williamson of GH. Exact same bitchface and they can both play complete bitches but can't add real layers or play anything else. But I did think it was kinda nice that Lulu let Britt say goodbye to the baby.

Ryan Paevey SO pales in comparison to Donna Mills in every single scene they have together.

Donna Mills was campier than Kathleen Gati today!! Love them both but how absurd that RC made Madeline and Liesl sisters. Liesl already has Britta, she doesn't need more family. Does EVERYONE have to be related?

It's so bad. I hope the Qs get some decent focus during AJ's funeral coming up.

We get it, you hate Kelly and Britt. I personally think she's a competent enough actress. I felt bad for Britt today, the scenes were well done.

Maxie's new friend is beyond obnoxious.

I thought Nathan seemed a bit more alive today. I hope this continues!

Yeah, I think KT did a good job today. I liked those scenes and I really enjoyed Lulu finally getting her baby. Emme's not the best actress but she's made me buy Lulu's hunger to be a mother and to have her child back. So kudos to them both. KT emotes and does a lot more than many actors on this show.

Woodpile did seem more alive but I was so distracted by that greasy Trashbag. But I've never been much of a fan of guys with longer hair. It takes a lot to pull it off and he looks ridiculous. We traded one annoying frog face (Spinelli) for another (Levi). Why not just keep Spinelli?

I don't think either is the worst actress I've ever seen. Or even the worst on their soaps. I was just pointing out the similarities I saw with the acting styles and characters. And as I said, I did like that Lulu was the one who let Britt say goodbye to baby Ben.

Guys with long hair make me sick. Not that I missed Maxie but she really needs new friends.

    • Dallas peaked early, IMO. Maybe not a fair statement as I’m still making my way through the first half of its run, but I think it’s hard to argue to point that S3 into S4 was its high point. Back to Knots. Wrapping up “And Never Brought to Mind.” Greg’s introduction kinda took me by surprise. I low-key dreaded his arrival bc I know he very quickly gets to the center of the show, but even though they wasted no time connecting him with Mac, Abby, Gary, and Karen, it still feels like a gradual intro. The juxtaposition of the ending of the Chip story with the heating up Abby’s plotting is quite symbolic of the changes the show was going through. I absolutely cannot imagine Kenny and Ginger having any part in any of this. Yall, the Gary/Val piano theme that they pull out from time to time is my FAVORITE. I find myself humming it constantly.
    • Bloodshed is inevitable now. It’s another reason I’m glad Black people aren’t getting involved in these protests. As awful as this is, I keep reminding myself that 54 percent of Latino men voted for Trump. These people were put in harm’s way by members of their own communities and sometimes even members of their own families. Too many people decided to touch the stove.
    • Maybe I'm still in denial, but nothing about Neighbours' ongoing social media output gives the vibe of a show that's ending. In today's 'Roundup' video, Alan Fletcher referenced that production finishes in five weeks, but in all the show's posts the cast are as jovial and lighthearted as ever. Remarkably so for people who are about to lose their jobs.    Perhaps they're just putting a brave face on things, and I know they approached the previous axing with a positive attitude. Maybe putting an upbeat face on things is a collective way of showing potential backers that there's still life in the show? Or is it possible that they already know the show has been saved, and we'll get an announcement next month when filming wraps and the show 'rests'?   Does any of that make sense?!
    • A very good week for male eye candy on GH. New Michael is beautiful, Curtis's arms looked great in that polo shirt, Cody looks even more handsome with his new haircut AND we got Marco in swim shorts rocking his lovely bod and chest fur.

    • Yeah when Jamey Giddens did breakdowns for DAYS, he would sometimes state in tweets that specific things were his idea that he had pitched to Ron.
    • I don't, since they've clearly incorporated them into Tomas' storyline, and I happen to like his tattoos, but his jackets not fitting doesn't mean they're trying to cover his tattoos. The clothing overall isn't the issue; it's the fit. And I expect(ed) more from Jeresa Featherstone and her team. Very disappointed. He's the only male, overall, whose costume irritates me.
    • "And OMG, watching the scenes of Roger's return in comparison...the quality in the writing really nosedived. The stupid mask." Very much agreed.  Having Roger hide behind a mask for weeks/months, with it culminating with him swinging in on a vine at Blake/Phillip's wedding....geez.  So juvenile. IMO, Guiding Light never did a good job reintroducing major characters, either from the dead or elsewhere.  Masked balls = awful.  Amish = awful. When Reva was brought back from the dead, she should've just showed up in Springfield as Reva, and informed everyone that she had been gone for years because she felt like it.  She had a four-year fling with some dude who ended up dumping her due to disloyalty. Josh would be pissed and declare that their love is not *always* but *sometimes* and he'd act accordingly.  Her kids would hate her.   
    • Agreed. The Emmys next year are gonna be a pretty tough competition and I hope we get a Days sweep lol  Not only does Deidre deserve a nomination for these last few weeks, but I also think Paul Telfer, Raven Bowens, Carson Boatman, Dan Feuerriegel and Alison Sweeney have good chances as well.
    • It’s not about a lack of faith and trust in MVJ, it’s about a a lack of faith and trust in Ron Carlivati, who I think can be very sneaky and manipulative when he wants to be.  And, all that “He’s just a breakdown writer” talk never changed my mind about anything, because at Days, it was “just a breakdown writer” that gave us some of the worst episodes I’ve ever seen.
