OMG at the Bruce Jenner comparison. So accurate.

When is the Nurse's Ball? I haven't seen anything about it, but I personally don't really read spoilers much anymore. I'll go look around.

Did Bobbie even have a scene with Carly after her rescue from Heather? I seriously can't remember at this point the pacing is so bad.

I also blame Frank for the pacing because of the actors and their schedules and the way they tape. I get it helps the budget, I guess, but it makes for a very uneven show at almost all times. I mean, Mac wasn't even on last month. At all. Yet we have days and days and days of Woodpile, Obrecht, Levi ....

Levi is at the very top of my [!@#$%^&*] list. And that says a lot given how many characters and actors I can't stand on GH. Was the actor cast in an attempt to make Ryan Paevey look like a competent actor in comparison? He is just heinous.

I enjoy Kathleen Gati BECAUSE of her hammy OTT acting, not in spite of it! Not as awesome as Faye Dunaway as Joan Crawford in Mommie Dearest but still a lot of fun! It helps that Liesl is about as fond of the people of Port Charles as I am. I do like Liz for the most part though. Gati might bother me more if 95% of the cast wasn't already so horrific.

I never saw Donna Mills in Knots Landing but those 90s lifetime movies I saw her in were miles better than anything about GH these days. She's so lost here. What a waste of a gifted actress! Having so many scenes with her godawful (supposed) tv son certainly doesn't help.

Emme Rylan is OK in quiet moments. It's when she yells that she gets really annoying.

Levi, Nathan, and Britta in the same room? Thank God for fast forward.

I did not miss Sabrina and her whining. TC sounds like she's whining in every single scene. But at least Jason Thompson made an effort for the first time in awhile. When he tries, he's usually good.

Shut up Michael! Anna should have punched that jabroni in the face. He's so annoying that I don't even care about justice for AJ at this point. I don't get the hype over Chad Duell.

I don't care about the big revelation with Britta and Robocop.

I liked when Madeline called Liesl melodramatic and ridiculous.

The show managed to get Robocop minimally interesting with the possibility that he might hook up with his half sister but they managed to waste it away within a couple of episodes. Total wasted opportunity to have plenty of people losing their [!@#$%^&*] over this.

Sabrina was barrable yesterday which still doesnt make her a compelling character.

Of course they brought the dimwit from down under to make Shitpile a more rootable love interest for oopsie maxie. I really find Ms Jenner annoying and the actor is still trying to walk and act at the same time but I genuinely see more chemistry with Levi and Maxie thna maxie with Laurence oliver.

I still would rather have maxie interact with anybody else but Levi and Nathan though.

Chad Duel is at his worst at the moment.

I can sit through Nathan too. Levi is just godawful and I never want to see him in a tank top. His skin seems all yellow and then you have the bronze Woodpile and then Britt gritting her teeth. It was all soooo bad. Why are these people on every day! I don't care that they're cheap (clearly) it's so bad. NO ONE CARES ABOUT THEM. And why is this all about Britt? They're writing her like the victim. She's had more on-screen time missing Ben than I think Lulu or Dante ever did. And she's had more time than Michael or Monica mourning AJ who's dead. It's just mind-boggling.

And they can put Maxie with this tool all they want to 'redeem' her but it's already been shown that the entire baby story was totally pointless now. Much like everything Ron writes. Nothing has any lasting implications.

Britt is a blank slate, played by a non-actress, so that means they can just do whatever they want. And some fans love Britt because they hate Liz or Sabrina or Lulu, so she is their stand-in. Britt herself is worthless, as KT proves every time she's onscreen.

As a Britt fan i can assure you that im not rooting for her becuz i dont like either Lulu, Liz or sabrina.

Sabrina is a non-entity at this point and I very much like Lulu since the recast. As for Liz i have my days of liking her and my days of thinking the heffer should die but i have an overall good feeling towards her.

I wont get into whether she is the best or the worst clearly we all have our criteria about what makes and doesnt make a good actress but i find her entertaining and I am rooting for her becuz I see lots of potential.

She is equally capable of the worst as she is capable of the worst which makes her an easier character to write for than all purpose cartoon vilain or sugary sweet pretended heroine.

From the many newcomers that have shown up under Rc's reign she is one of the stand_out in my book. I will add the Jordan girl whom is really effortlessly fitting on the canvas as well as Brad (pArry shen turned this non-character into easily one of my faves) and ava. But im rooting for those four becuz of what i see all by themselves. Not becuz they hate someone i dont like on the show.

Brad has been pursuing Felix for a year and i still dont find Felix interesting. Liking one character has nothing to do with who they like and who they dont.

    • 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.
