Michelle Stafford is so hilariously fake and obvious. She clearly doesn't do subtlety. The eye shifting, the eye rolling, the smirking, in EVERY single (or at least 98%) of her scenes. Love it!!!

Julian and Jordan were hot. Can't wait for Shawn/Jordan if it ever goes anywhere!

"Apprise you of my whereabouts..." Shut up, Spencer. And how indulgent can everyone be with him?! He always pulls stupid sh*t and gets away with it every day.

Franco is not cute. And that lady with him in the beginning of Thursday's show was so annoying and ugly AF.

Tracy and Ned are sweet. But Tracy had to go and say Diane Miller's name... oy vey. And Ned is too smart for this. Tracy should be too!

My love for the fabulous Nina is known. And it cracks me up that she gets away with everything, especially with how unsubtle and obvious Nina (and Michelle Stafford) is, but I do like that Sam is getting smart now about her.

Silas is, besides being ugly af and boring, an !@#$%^&*]. He didn't listen to Sam and he didn't believe her.

Nina can't dance but that just makes me love her even more. She, Rosalie, and Dr. O are my girls!

I wish Lucy, Felicia, Scott, etc. were on more. That would be great. And please, please... less and less Mickey Diamond. He is unwatchable.

They should've made sure MS didn't play it for humor and her usual schtick, and then they should've kept it out of the scripts, because the fact is this is at least as much on the scripts as it is on her - she's not making this [!@#$%^&*] up, 90% of her banter is on the page. Sure, Rosalie is an appealing new player but the Nina that has her double act with Rosalie is just Phyllis warmed over right now. If Stafford had kept on with the straight-up, old-school psycho take from her first big reveal and stayed that way, it would be another story. You could've humanized her later. It worked for Robin Mattson on AMC.

I think Nina is the best thing about current GH which isn't saying much. Every story is a hot mess and most of the characters are unlikeable. She however is hilarious and her scenes with Rosalie are the highlight.

I would have said Jordan but all her scenes are repetitive with no movement as the story has clearly stalled bc Anthony Geary is on vacation

The time that should have been spent on Shawn and Jordan wasn't, so now we are where all black characters are on soaps. Because they are black, they should be paired or related. I watch Shawn (and Carly) scenes on YT and I'm totally not feeling Jordan like I was before. A black woman is certainly needed on GH, but like everything else, this character is such a disappointment.

And again, when you don't have LT plans for characters and just toss them on air to keep up with guarantees, it shows. Jordan, and any other character, should be more than just the immediate story in which they are involved. It's not like Geary didn't give them notice of his medical leave. TIIC should have planned better.

I love Olivia with the right people (Scorpio) or doing the right stuff (having crazy LSD visions), but she is basically a Lois clone now in so many ways and that is both a waste of Lisa Lo Cicero and an insult to Lois and the audience's intelligence. Their backgrounds are extremely similar. Putting her with Ned would just make it beyond ridiculous. There's no point in putting Ned with a literal clone of his wife. Didn't they used to say Ned and Lois were back together and touring the globe? Leave it at that.

Jordan could be interesting but as I've said before, she has no actual purpose beyond plot function for this story. And it's not like RC is invested in either her or Shawn. Shawn is more of an ass by the month, too - he's now Sonny's self-righteous hitman and spends all his time lecturing other criminals. It's impossible to root for him.

    • What did happen to Beth between 86 and 89? Did she have amnesia?
    • I actually thought he came off as younger. It's so hard to buy Martin as Nicole and Ted's son unless they had him when they were 12.
    • @chrisml Isn't remarkable that, on a soap whose brand is built on twists and mysteries, that Raven's last straw was as simple as Logan saying that she was incapable of loving Jamey.  In the episode when Raven exit's and leaves Jamey with April, I can remember feeling the subtext that Raven is also trying to talk herself into leaving him behind.  There's so much in that little scene.  She's trying to stick it to Logan for saying she was a bad mother.  She's both granting April's wish, and damning her with the old adage of being careful what she wished for.  And, she's hinting to Draper that she's going to boff his father. It remains my favorite scene, and it still blows my mind that was not the end of that episode.  
    • Oh lord not Drew just figured out it was both Nina and Portia that set him up. Willow WILL never leave this man. Ric taking the case purely just to spite Sonny is [!@#$%^&*].ing hilarious.
    • And in addition to Patti being de-aged, she was no longer a nurse, divorced from Len(fair enough) and her two children were not seen and barely mentioned. So basically she was a totally new character. For newer viewers it didn't matter but any loyal viewers would have been wondering about all the changes with Patti. Sarah Whiting always puzzled me. The writers finally decide to acknowledge Jo's family and do so by making up a never mentioned adopted teen. Why not just bring in Tracey, Jo's actual grandaughter? As for Liza, perhaps it would have been wise to rest the character when Sherry left. They were big shoes to fill and her Liza was so identified with Travis. I don't recall what was going on in the story at that time but if they knew Sherry was leaving, write it so Liza would leave town to care for an ailing Janet and take a breather with the character for a few months.
    • Ahh interesting. Yeah, that's sad for A-M. I will say, he and Nick became fast friends when Susan started working at Spaulding. A-M/Lucy/Nick/Susan had a lot of double dates in those 7 months. A-M was Nick's best man at his wedding to Susan, which now that I think about it, is odd that he wouldn't have considered Fletcher. I remember those two were so close at the paper, and even living together with Ben. Once Tangie left SF, Nick left the paper, and Fletcher/Holly were rarely seen... so I guess they felt that friendship wasn't shown often enough anymore (which again, lazy writing).
    • I honestly don't think Alan-Michael ever really had a friend on the show. Maybe Cameron or Samantha, but otherwise... *Cameron was a high school friend who ended up dating teenage Dinah after she broke up with A-M. Samantha is Phillip's biological sister, who A-M treated like a sister. Interestingly enough, they were born the same week on the show in 1981, but A-M ends up being older than her when she returns to town in '89.
    • I thought he was very cute too, and a likeable presence even though on paper Cliff was a prick. I wonder if he was well-liked by viewers or someone at the show as there's a point in these episodes where he could have been written out and was not.
    • I'm not a Derek fan at all (and not even all that much of an Ashley fan, but man has she become awful in their relationship--like she's not even trying.  But also I admit, I don't think I'd ever live with someone, even someone I was married to (I know they're not married) in a bachelor apartment unless I had to.  Even just a one bedroom would make a big difference.  I'd probably end up hiding in the bathroom a lot

    • Going back to this, I'm even more confused why Amanda would say that only a year later (lazy writers), because I'm watching April 29, 1996 right now and literally all of the current on-air Spauldings (Alan, Alex, Amanda, A-M) and Coopers (Buzz, Lucy, Frank, Eleni) are on a plane together for Lucy/A-M's wedding. Along with Reva (which right now makes sense because she's married to Buzz), Dahlia (so out of place, but by default because they can't let a high school kid they just took in stay home alone), and a very random Rick (he's barely had any interaction with any of these characters all year haha).  It's like a madhouse on that plane, which is pretty comical because most of them don't get along... but they very much know each other. Still miffed that Bridget is totally forgotten here. And David. And Nick/Susan! Couldn't they have waited to fire them until after this wedding?  It was only like 2 months later. They had to make Alan be A-M's best man (which is wild to me) bc A-M doesn't even have any real friends on the show right now.
