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.

    • After today’s rushed and abrupt exit for Summer I immediately realized that Josh & Co. were very blindsided by AL’s decision to leave.  Not the first time this has happened to JG either; see MM & HK’s exits in 2021, MM’s exit in 2022, and of course TSJ’s exit last year. Obviously JG and our executive in charge of nothing Steve Kent don’t have a good handle on casting disruptions. And Mariah having an offscreen affair is [!@#$%^&*] ridiculous!! Meanwhile Tessa’s blonde hair is overkill with the number of blondes on the show already. I said the same thing 3 years ago…of course it was utterly ridiculous everyone was mad at Sally for getting Summer he dream job (don’t ask lol) but there was so much the show could have done without bringing on the Marchetti angle.
    • Does the ball on GL where Philip revealed that he had forced Alan out of Spaulding count or was that not Philip's idea?  There was a ball on AMC where Adam revealed that he had bankrupted Palmer, I think (or was it the other way around?), but I can't remember who threw that.
    • Thanks for honoring Ruth Buzzi. She was a treasure. I'm glad DAYS let her have some fun. I remember Imogene Coca complaining about ATWT just giving her a drab guest part.
    • It's such a delicious set of circumstances that I'm actually a little surprised that I can't think of ones that exactly match. I've just got a couple of close but no cigars (the reveal wasn't public, like when Alexis told Dominique at her and Garrett's engagement party that Garrett lied about being married; or the revealer didn't come up with the idea of the party). Maybe I need to think some more about it.
    • Not too shabby, making her mark in only six episodes. There's a project for the soap historians -- characters with the least episodes/most impact.
    • Which could make sense , except that we have seen Mariah function for years w/o any real residue pain from her upbringing. Josh decides to randomly make it a thing, when a good writer might foreshadow that for months. It's not like he's just arrived at the show. He's been there for years . Everything seems to be thought out only a few weeks ahead. It's like Phyllis all freaky from being kidnapped when she has done a million other things that didn't seem to bother her at all.
    • Unrelated, sort of, but he looks absolutely nothing like Amanda Setton or Dominic Zamprogna so it's kind of hilarious they decided to make Gio their kid.  It's very clear this was not the original origin story for Gio when they cast him. He is a very handsome guy though. 
    • I tend to agree, although going back to OLTL, Frank has so often cast guys who are meant to be attractive yet come across as cold and dead, I'm surprised he managed to get one who has a bit of a pulse.
    • For all I care, the boy can parade around in a g-string.  It won't make this show suck any less.
