Oh Trai, how perfect art thou!

I have stopped watching a many shows over story choice. General Hospital was one I broke up with and just can't bring myself to care anymore. 1) Jason not getting his memory back and the end of Jason and Keisha.  2) oh how my preteen hormones wanted Stephan and Alexis to steam it up. Instead they made them cousins! Then siblings! Why? I. Was. Done!

Luscious will have that sluttly prosecutor on her knees soon enough. She's itching for it.

 

Loved that corpse in her car. Luscious just makes me smile! He's now the sole reason to watch this show.

 

Cookie is a cartoon now and she will soon be at the point where she can't be salvaged. They are really messing up a good thing.

 

Keem has joined Jamal in the land of completely uninteresting and only Andre still has my attention. Trai is doing a marvelous job.

 

Gabby running from the Feds? Laughable, but she could certainly use the running!

I also thought Cookie was just a tad bit over the top last night. They need to always remember to give her human moments if they are going to continue this route lest she become unwatchable. They did a good job with the flash black and her reaction to Prosecutor Tits Cheap Shoes I'm Going To Bang Lucious And Ruin My Career Ford threatening her children. They also made her smart with manipulating the prosecutor into going after the sell of Apex. More calculating Cookie please! 

I agree that Andre is probably the most interesting brother. But thats caus he's still woefully underdeveloped as compared to the other two. They kill it the more he gets focus. 

Grace Gaely continues to shine as Anika. She's also quite interesting. 

Shari Sheppard was on the Tom Joyner morning show saying she didn't like the politics (cookie's comment about comitting suicide in police custody) in her entertainment but did like the video Hakeem and Jamal made. Is she too slow to realize that the show is political unto itself? Lucious going on nationally TV explaining rap music was political. Lucious' entire spiel to Andre about education and marrying white woman and people still seeing him as a Black man was political. Jamal's entire existence is political. Matter of fact this show, on this network, with these characters, in these roles, in this setting, with these actors whose blackness is relevant to the story makes it political. Example, the use of the nation of islam.  Alot of times, these things are ignored for black people on most shows. Example: Olivia Pope until her daddy came along.

Those scenes with Lucious and his mother, damn. That brought back some times I'd like to forget. I thought that was so realistic. The desperation a child feels to stay with their mother, no matter how bad the situation.

 

I hope that despicable prosecutor gets everything she deserves and I don't mean Lucious's dick! Taking such joy in scaring Cookie with the idea that her child might commit suicide. Truly deplorable.

 

Andre and Rhonda trying to did up Vernon. Macabre, but funny.

    • I absolutely loved the last few episodes—devoured them! If Trisha and Ambyr’s performances aren’t Emmy-worthy, I don’t know what is. I wasn’t bothered by the lawyer girl not being at the gala from the start, or the grandkids being absent, or Vanessa being MIA. It just goes to show how unnecessarily huge the Dupree family is. And like Toups said, you can’t cram the entire cast into a single episode. Oh and the cue when Leslie was having that fantasy was epic, very DAYS-like. They should keep it and develop it   Minor nitpicks: Yeah, Ted seriously needs a recast—been saying that since day one. I still don’t know where he stands, and he just comes off as a generic nice guy. Not having Ted and Bill share a single scene since the show started? Huge missed opportunity. And not having Leslie get anywhere near Bill in one of her wigs? Another big miss. It really weakened the impact of her big reveal about Bill’s involvement. Now it just feels a bit like fan fiction. I’m totally confused by Vanessa and Doug’s “arrangement.” One moment it seems like they’re in an open relationship, and the next Vanessa acts completely shocked when Doug so much as hints at her “distractions.” Huh? Can anyone explain what’s going on there?
    • You’d think he would’ve learned after the way Sprina took off.  I hope we get a proper Emma/Gio/Trina/Kai quad, as friends, romantic rivals, etc. In the few scenes that the four of them have had together, I felt like there was a natural chemistry between all of them, similar to the way that Cam/Spencer/Trina/Joss was, in the beginning.  And, it would be a lot better than all this stuff with Kai’s surgery. 
    • Hooray we made the exact same critique to Londonscribe!!!!!
    • I don't think they had any idea who he was this time last year. I think they were keeping their options very open. Same with totally dropping the Trina romance that was spoiled for him in the mags once FV clearly took a shine to him. Frank's priorities are bright and blazing in one color. I do think Gio and Emma seem to have worked out given that she is very dry and sarcastic and he is like a hot golden retriever, but I'd still play the field or explore quads with both with very different people - Emma with a scheming young man (of color), Gio with possibly Trina or someone else, or even a boy. Then maybe put them back together, who knows. But of course none that will happen.

    • He definitely got lost in the shuffle last year. First, they were implying that he was Drew’s son, then he was nothing more than just Violet’s bff

      And then they changed him to being Dante and Brook Lynn’s son, which was clunky at first but I’m enjoying the storyline now. 
    • GM is adorable, charming and fun onscreen despite months of nothing to do until recently, and has a bodacious bod. I'm not cosigning the show or this story - I haven't watched a full episode in over a month - but I think we're all taking the small victories in 2025 at this point. I'm open to testing this theory!
