Is it wrong that I am loving Nina more and more? She's such a spectacle and Michelle Stafford is so unsubtle and obvious that she's such a gem and a blast to watch! Haha... I don't hate Sam (I'm indifferent to her) but I enjoy seeing Nina make Sam crazy and look stupid. What's more, I love seeing Nina make Silas look stupid, not that it's hard. And it cracks me up that Nina would make all this effort for a guy like Silas. Really?! The thought of two women fighting over Silas the dirty hippy is so absurd that it's a blast!!

Crazy ass Nina is a gem. Love her.

Diane's 'hair' is a disgusting wig from some Halloween store. She's not fooling anyone.

Lulu's monologue to the baby was so boring and fake. And so is the insta friendship with her and Maxie.

Even Maxie could do better than Plywood and Levi.

Really not looking forward to Franco and Kaka tomorrow. Ugh! Or Carly saying the same sh*t to Ava and never amounting to anything.

If only we could get Carlivati fired... he makes me miss Guza....

This is typical of Sam minions her foot soldiers run around the internet bashing because Sam can't have story like other characters she always has to be on the good foot and must always be shown in a positive light she's mother Teresa now, the voice of reason...and no third party can come into her pairings even the almighty powerhouse Michelle Streep gets their wrath. She can't be written triangles unless the other party is written like an idiot, or looney tunes to accommodate her..

UO but okay: I think Michelle Stafford is doing a pretty good job, especially with what they've given her. They brought her on to play old-school Crazy Phyllis or something and she is doing that - she scared the hell out of me at the end of Friday. I thought she played that whole rising from the chair and screaming thing very, very well, and her eyes were terrifying (along with the music - if that's Paul Glass he is still very good) and the whispering about whoooo could've destroyed the apartment. The flashback was goofy, however - and it seems obvious they dispatched Stafford to cover for the timeline a few days back by saying we don't know when Nina came out of her coma, because whether or not RC did plan that beat (and he is capable of planning those things months or years out - just don't ask him to focus on characters' stories today) Nina was definitely not originally 'awake' when Silas's place got trashed. I think she was still in scrubs and braceleted when we first saw her, whereas in the flashback she's dressed to the nines and on the town.

I think Stafford is giving this thing all she's got, and she is clearly running laps around Easton even in their quiet scenes together where they're just reminiscing with her steering Silas emotionally. For me a little Michelle Stafford has always gone a long way, but I've never denied her talent as a powerhouse, even when I think this role and story are relatively pointless - she is holding my attention. Still, if I have to watch a particularly bizarre period in GH history forced on me, I might as well do it with a great actor.

She's definitely got me entertained today. I still think the reveal would have been stronger had she played lame little princess Nina to the height of sympathy without all of the wink wink tongue in cheek twinkle in the eye. We all knew where things were headed, but even if there was a hint of, "Hm, maybe Nina really IS a good girl..." She and her nurse, a classic set-up, gave me shades of Erica and Carmen, Egypt and Minnie, Iris and Vivien, Margo and Birdie...

Nate Dog(wood) actually made me chuckle, mocking Levi's accent.

Aaaand I think we've milked every last corny pop culture reference to Frozen...

I was so [!@#$%^&*] tired of Anna being made utterly incompetent to accommodate Obrecht, Britt, FakeLuke/Bill, etc. so I guess I should be happy she is running this sting operation with Ric against L.L. Bean Catalog Julian. Finola Hughes is simply too good and projects too much cool authority to make her the goat the way GH and Ron often has and/or does with most cops. But I'm tired of literally anyone or anything being put in her way to keep her and Jordan from getting a name (and I'm over Jordan's constant big hair/cocktail dress wardrobe, thanks) or conducting their meets in any convenient public set Frank has up. To say nothing of her falling for Duke's latest line. Duke has always had a lousy poker face. (I know, the jokes write themselves about poor Ian Buchanan.)

I like how they got that dude Nick Chinlund from Con Air, Training Day, etc. to basically come in and be the substitute teacher for Tony Geary's 315th vacation. "Fake Luke's not here, so now ya gotta deal with me, Mickey Diamond, see! I'll be Luke for the duration of Tony's vacation in Amsterdam, heterosexual paradise! Just pretend I'm him and the plot can go on the same!" Come on. They couldn't have gotten someone a little less cliché? Another woman? A minority? R.J. Gannon?

And BTW, since I don't think I said it here enough - Ron will totally make Nina a Cassadine, daughter of Madeline and Victor, and will have her seduce NuJason when she finds him, as revenge on Silas and Sam (hence her current fascination with the topic of Jason). I don't write it, people, I just spec it.
