Don't care about Genie or Laura, but why let that old fool dictate SL? Genie can be on the show and L/L can co parent. Is Geary afraid too many will want L/L? Is he afraid no one will give 2 sh!ts about Luke if Laura is around? Why can't Genie be on canvas w/o Geary? Geary's interference in SLs has gone too damn far!

Exactly. Why can't Luke and Laura co-exist? Because too many stans would keep begging them to reunite?

Sooo tired of Geary. I can't believe we're being subjected to watching him play out some ridiculous fantasy of Luke being some psycho monster. But then wait!!! He had a messed up childhood! So it makes everything OK!!

Sigh.

Which is awful and sad. The me of 1996 would have so been down with a storyline exploring Luke and Bobbie's childhoods. But that was back when she hadn't truly gone over the surgery edge yet and he was still near the top of his game. Oh and Riche would have maybe had a more delicate touch and some taste while producing it.

As much as I'm not enjoying the show, I can't blame Frank and Ron for how I feel about Luke. Geary pretty much made me hate Luke nearly a decade ago, and now I just don't care what's wrong with Luke.

I am not his biggest fan of late but I frankly don't believe Tony would ever block Genie's return, or continued stay on GH. I'm not even convinced he'd block a Luke/Laura reunion - he has said in the last year he'd go for it if it was "done right." And I don't think that's what that quote from Genie says, either.

Tony has a lot of stupid ideas and says a lot of stupid things, especially in the last 10+ years, and his performance in this story is awful and embarrassing. But he's also, publicly at least, been very gracious towards Genie and has always given her major credit for their success. I think much of what he's said about Luke and Laura and their life together in the last decade is wrongheaded and immature, but I don't think Tony, the actor, would ever stand in the way of her return or try to push back against that major of a story element when he knows the tide and history is simply against him. I also think Ron Carlivati (and Frank), for all their faults, will not rest until they reunite them. It's been on Ron's mind since Day 1 when he had Starr and Cole sing LNL's praises on the way to town. LNL goes beyond Tony insisting on improv'ing Luke drinking on-set - it's something big enough that FV would exert pressure.

I know there was apparently a personal reason Genie had to leave so abruptly, but I think part of the reason she's still gone has less to do with Tony himself and more to do with money and the show's unwillingness to come to terms with her on a financial level somewhat on par with TG. I think they were hoping they could get Genie Francis on recurring, the way they tried to do Tristan Rogers. Not gonna happen. Pay up.

Tony has said before that Luke and Laura are the past and that there fans are living in the past. Im sorry but who the hell is he to diss fans like that. This isnt 1981. You lost relevancy decades ago

      I agree with you on all of it. After what we got from RC for YEARS, seeing real soap is beyond refreshing. I like "romantic leads" who cannot be ignored. Kate is definitely revived as a character, and a lot of the credit goes to Philip. JPL has been really good since his return, and I hope they keep him around.

      5-16   Build, build, build. So much of it going on and not bored by any of it. A story continued to be the fallout from the SilkPress/Eva reveal. And I'm happy to see that the fallout made it all the way through the week with C plots being built up to B plots. And then little subplots (Dani's business, Vanessa and her roleplaying games) to keep in mind.    Now that I've watched it several times...all I can think of seeing Silk Press Sheila with NuTed is hmmmm. Honestly, while I felt Trish and Maurice had chemistry, I always felt character-wise that SilkPress and Maurice's Ted would never get back together. At most, I could see them having hate sex. However, SilkPress with Keith's Ted...how to word this...I feel like...in spite of all of her scheming...she has a chance of getting him back given how Trish and Keith interact with each other. And I feel like she's giving 90s DAYS Sami Brady with Austin Peck's Austin where Sami would be playing it to the hilt and Austin...even when he knew better...would STILL be falling for her tricks. Or even when Sami would be somewhat redeemed and he had a 'right' to like her, it would end badly cuz she did something. That was the vibe I got from the SilkPress/NuTed scenes. Keith's Ted definitely came across as a romantic lead in a triangle versus Maurice's Ted where even though he messed up, I saw him only having eyes for Nicole. So...Hmmmmmm. Mind you, I don't see Keith's Ted as stupid/dumb like Austin Peck's version of Austin on DAYS.   Kat being on the case and looking into Laura's accident and giving her recording to Jacob also continue to spin the story into its next logical direction...even if Kat has it tagged on the wrong person. The walls may be closing in on SilkPress, but like she said a while back...she still has tricks up her own sleeves. And I just know the rivalry between Kat and Eva ain't over so this is just another match to the fire. And it'll be good to see Jacob in cop mode. Then Nicole still dealing with her own feelings and wanting to sell the house. Good scenes with her and Vanessa.   And while that was all going on...the plots around them...   1) MARTIN'S SECRET. I have enjoyed how Bill's little seed has been growing in Smitty's mind. And Smitty's being in reporter mode. His scenes with Nicole to see if he was right to be second guessing himself was well-done. I didn't get it at first viewing, because I would think he would be happy that Martin backed down. But I'm seeing it through his reporter eyes, and I get it. And of course, I live for Smitty's scenes with Bill. And Bill is just getting too much glee with messing with Martin and Smitty.    2) ANITA'S STORY. Yassss!!! Oh, Vernon...how I love you. I really enjoyed seeing him slowly coax Anita into calling yet another bandmate. I felt CD and TT were really giving how a relationship can be. And I enjoyed it. Of course, I enjoy that it's clear that Anita wears the pants in that relationship...not that Vernon don't have his moments. They just complement each other so well.   3)MS. JUNE. Outside of the fact that I thought that surgery happened too quickly, good to see her out of surgery. Not to mention seeing Nosy Nurse. Say what you want about her ability to get the tea, but she's really great at her job, and it's great to see.    Well...Doug still has a week. Dani and Pamela are still working on a business. Vanessa is still playing. And it's nice to see those threads still around. But not a major focus yet. And it all still flowed.   And of course...a Friday cliffhanger with Jacob taking Silk Press Sheila down to the station.   So great week of soap overall for me. It doesn't seem like today's episode is going to be loaded on my system until tomorrow. But I guess that is what apps are for.

      It's sad she can't be a part of his on-screen tribute somehow.

      I feel the same. I didn’t expect to care about them but the chemistry is strong and I’d love to see them go public and try to make it work.

      Keith D. Robinson has a lot less screen presence so far than Maurice Johnson had, but I think he's probably a much better technical actor.  I couldn't be happier we're finally moving along with the caucasians. Andre and Ashley better be f*cking by the end of the week, or so help me, just to move the story along even quicker. That's the second time there's been a hint that Dani will get involved with the Doug/Vanessa/Joey story somehow. Maybe it'll happen in response to Andre/Ashley getting together?
