Does anyone feel bad for Jillian? Like at all? Poor, poor Julian being robbed of time with his son. rolleyes.gif When the show started yesterday with him crying over not knowing what was happening with the baby I just wanted someone to put a bullet between his eyes. Not to mention deVry is horrible. They should've killed him off instead of Duke.

William Devry is the Eric Martsolf/TSJ of GH. Like Martsolf and TSJ, Devry is good at being a smug arrogant pig but nothing else. And just like with their characters, the show ants us to feel bad for him and root for him because he's hot.

Billy Miller is the David Gregory/JPL/Shawn Christian/Guy Wilson of GH where he can't act at all no matter how much hype there is. And how we're suddenly supposed to weep for him.

Jillian is a waste of airtime. The character has no balls at all. WD doesn't even care how the character is written as long as he is one of Craptini's pets. He tries so hard with his shirtless pics on Twitter.

William is awful and smug, something he cannot hide. Jillian needs to be age appropriate, so when Anna and Duke talk about what he did to them 20+ years ago, the viewers see a 60 year old man capable of those things. He had PS is such a cop out to cast someone with good abs and looks good in man panties! Nothing has been believable about Jillian/Anna/Duke. It's been a joke from day one, but now WDV is showing that he is not a good actor at all and just makes Jillian unbearable!

Well... He was younger than them onscreen and in real life back then. But it's still bad, bland casting and poor storytelling.

I used to think the original Julian was quite attractive, and I also enjoyed Cheryl and their chemistry. Other than Holly and Anna Cheryl is the only relationship Robert had that I truly enjoyed.

I loved the original Jerome storyline, and that entire family. Olivia was an excellent foil for Anna. I just can't tie DeVry into that at all.

If Duke's death is the impetus for Anna to rid the city and our damn eyes of the mob crap on this show forever, it will almost be worth it. Almost. Anna has vowed war on Julian, I expect to see him dead as a result. I expect - and shouldn't receive - anything less as a viewer. At least it looks like Carlos is gone soon.

I think they're going out of their way to show Duke's death as "real" as it gets, showing the cold body, and then showing the body again six hours later with Anna never leaving his side. Plus I hear there is an open casket at the funeral. But with Obrecht involved, who knows. I feel like if Anna shoots Carlos dead vs. just throwing him in jail, Duke is likely permanently dead.

I think so yes. Monica will reappear this summer though, I heard Leslie was in some upcoming scripts. Mac and Felicia are at Duke's funeral. Kevin? Probably won't be seen until/if they write Lucy out permanently.

2015 has not been a good year for the vets. With the exception of the three contract vets , Bobbie and Ned.

We hardly see Lucy, Scott, Felicia, Mac, Heather and Monica. I hope this will change soon. With Genies return and the rumors about other people being back also.

Hopefully Carlos is done. I feel like there's not much more left anyway and he should have been gone a while ago. I wish he'd take Jillian with him and agree with you that Julian needs to be killed off. That's where this should go.

I was suspicious of Obrecht's involvement too. I missed a bit but know they seem to try and be painting this as a real death for Duke. We'll see. I'm not convinced but I'm not going to be expecting a resurrection, either. I think, sadly, Duke's dead dead so Ron can push Sloane and Anna. Why? I have nooo idea. Sigh. But are they really?

And I've missed a bit but Ava? Silas? Where are they?

This show's cast is insanely huge. And it shows. Horrible balance.

I'm glad Mac and Felicia get cameos at Duke's funeral. I actually don't expect Kevin in the slightest, but was just throwing his name in there. And any idea why they refuse to include Leslie/Monica? She should be included the way they include Jackie/Bobbie into the storylines. Although they were doing good with using Bobbie more they've dropped the ball again. I imagine Monica will be a part of the Jakeson reveal and then she'll go back into hiding afterwards.

You're right--Olivia was awesome! I remember a scene where she held Anna captive but the scene stealer was the live rat Olivia was holding while she was addressing Anna. I can't stand rodents of any kind--one of the scariest scenes in soap history for me, hands down.

Oh look, it's Carlos. I actually managed to block him out until today. The character is awful, the actor is awful, he's pointless, and he doesn't have the decency to run a comb through his hair. He's so hard to look at and seeing him with just a towel...cringe...

Being in scenes with Sloane seems to make Anna/FH more lethargic than usual. Certainly can't blame her. He really sucks the life out of everything!

Billy Miller can't even do basic emotions. He can't even be convincingly smug, which is sad and frightening on so many levels.

Maybe I'm just shallow but I'm still loving Julian. Just wish they'd stop trying to make him a big hero. DeVry has charisma and he plays a good !@#$%^&*]. That's about all he's good at, which is another reason why they really don't need to whitewash him. His acting last week was shockingly bad. Especially when Olivia's water broke. He was clearly sloshed...

I don't buy Sonny's concern for Olivia or the baby.

I actually don't mind Rebecca Budig, aside from the fact that she usually talks too fast. And Hayden's about as fond of Lulu as I am. I loved her shade towards Lulu smile.png

Valerie is horrible. Nevermind the fact that she's an Iggy Azalea carbon copy. Ew!

    • I have to be honest I’m really struggling with this show. I love everything with Eva/Leslie/Ted/Nicole/Kat and enjoy Dani and Bill’s shenanigans (I’m on the Hayley needs to be recast train now tho), Chelsea is second to Kat as my favorite Dupree grandkid and I loved her coming out to her mom. The show was on a truly great run with the big Leslie and Eva reveal at Nicole and Ted’s anniversary party and the fall out has still been good even with the unnecessary Ted recast and them making Leslie kind of dumb by exposing herself too much unnecessarily. The real problem for me started when they rotated back to way too damn much screen time for Derek/Ashley/Andre (if anyone should have been up first for a recast it was these three IMO). They tried way too hard to drum up drama between Ashley and Derek and the actors were clearly fighting for their mediocre charisma less acting lives to make it work but none of it landed, just horrible. Naomi and Jacob and this weird homeless woman story are also BORING. I can see where its potentially going but IDGAF at all, my only hope for them is that they’re building a triangle with Naomi/Jacob/Kat because Jacob and Kat have stronger chemistry together than their current love interests (Eva is the only one who can make the awful Tomas work). Martin, his secret and still cringe worthy acting got kind of interesting with Bill dropping hints to Smitty but they completely lost me with that lil fakeout scene at the country club. The lame “teenagers” (air quotes because Samantha is no Bianca Lawson and never beating the black Andrea Zuckerman allegations) can get off my screen as well. Joey creeping on Vanessa is grossing me out at this point, I actually quite like Vanessa and Doug now but Joey falls totally flat as a villain and someone we’re supposed to buy Vanessa being enamored with. I’m glad they’ve finally set up something interesting for Vernon and Anita to do with this girl band reunion instead of Anita wringing her hands and telling us she feels darkness coming and Vernon giving a civil rights speech every episode but yeah… People who’ve posted with me for other shows know I’m not one for fast forwarding or hate watching either, if I find a majority of a show is not working I usually just quit but because of what this show represents for me as a Black male soap fan I really want to stick it out. Its just become a challenge lately. I saw Guza has left the building and I REALLY hope we hear about some more BTS changes. The additions of Tracy Thompson and Jamie Giddens don’t exactly inspire a lot of confidence from me tho. Honestly praying hard for a new EP to replace JHC, a lot of the stuff that annoyed about her PC and AMC runs has started to match up here. I’m giving the show through the Summer to rectify some things but IDK how long I can hold on tbh. Its been a struggle to even finish some of these episodes lately.
    • I agree. I liked the episode but it felt jarring to suddenly return to a bunch of plots that had been put on pause since the Nurses' Ball started. Although I did like Laura popping in at the end to tell Alexis that millions of dollars have suddenly disappeared from Ace's trust fund. One set of scenes that made me feel optimistic for the next few months were between Sofia Mattsson and Rory Gibson. While Rory has been good as a darker, colder Michael this week, I was worried that he might not have much range. But he really warmed up with Mattsson, and I thought that (for the first time) Michael and Sasha had some genuine chemistry.
    • Next week is going to be such a sad time... I just feel it based on what was shown today. I'm wondering if the whole John being bandaged thing being a throwback to how he first arrived on the show was a Ron C idea since it just seems as though this would be something he would come up with.  If so, it's good that Cwikly/Ford are in charge with the implementing of the idea instead of him. Just a delayed thought from the Ciara scenes earlier in the week, or last week.. and how she had an odd way of dressing/acting.  I chuckle because little Ciara did say that she admired and wanted to be just like Kristen when she grew up.  So the fact that her outfit choices are so odd/off beat and her manner is a bit OTT just fits.. especially since Eileen's Kristen had an odd sense of fashion and that frantic OTT undertone to her delivery. With that said, a part of me wonders how Eileen's Kristen would have handled the scenes being done this week in regards to John's situation.   
    • My god the smirking was back in full force today. He almost started smiling after Johnny mentioned he wouldn’t be there if EJ hadn’t raped Sami. I will say I did like seeing him with Dee as they’ve always had great chemistry.    They really are giving a lot of false hope with John getting better. I wish they hadn’t done that. Monday is going to be devastating. I really liked all the characters mixing and mingling today.  Nu-Rachel is still too sweet for me. Loved all the flashbacks. Everyone looked so young. Really enjoyed Brady’s scenes with John today.  
    • Valerie Mahaffey Dead: ‘Northern Exposure,’ ‘Dead to Me’ Actress Was 71 Loved her. I've never seen her Doctors work. 
    • Valerie Mahaffey Dead: ‘Northern Exposure,’ ‘Dead to Me’ Actress Was 71 I just loved Valerie on my early '90s TV shows. This one gets me. 
    • I assume they did at some point during the finale...
    • Kelly was a horribly-written character overall. Just think, two Emmy-winning actresses (including Cynthia Watros, Nina, GH, and Annie, GL) couldn't make it work. Pamela is campy, but so are Dani, Vanessa, Leslie, and Joey. And, I don't want to be too judgy because my love for camp changes depending on the show. OLTL, DAYS, and some eras of GH had me rolling with the camp. However, Passions was overkill and I hated it. And, here, I can take it or leave it. It's ok in small doses (note to RC). I see this show as more of a serious drama.
    • I think one of the reasons that pilot didn't get picked up was because Vicki L was associated more with being Thelma Harper and playing older then she was playing her own age.  It was a blessing it didn't get picked up, or we would have been deprived of the syndicated era of Mama's Family.   Also, worth noting a Pre Night Court Marsha Warfield and pre Perfect Strangers Rebecca Arthur in the cast.  All talented women, but stuck with a bad script. And the other pilot had a pre Fran Fine.. Fran Drescher as the best friend.  I think that pilot might have been picked up if Karen Valentine and Fran Drescher switched roles.
    • So, on rewatch....did Rick and Mindy never have sex?
