Its called Smart TV. Now we are going to have Dante crow like a big rooster over this mess of a story. Lulu should have moved on with her life as a stronger woman instead of this mess of a story. Dante is no prize.

I truly cannot even sit through a full episode. Everything is so lethargic and boring.

 

Sonny already can't speak and I don't need him shoving his face full of food to make it even worse.

 

Why should I care about Kristina getting suspended from school? Because Alexis and Sonny will whine and shout for a few days and then be over it?

 

Is it wrong I'd rather Valerie NOT get rescued? Sigh.

 

Dante comes off so sleazy and dirty anymore. And Jordan is completely wasted.

My favorite part was LuLu standing in the doorway, looking at a passed out and tied up Valerie screaming "We have to get out of here"! :rolleyes: I like ER, but that performance didn't elevate an already stupid scene.

Kristina offering her professor sex for a grade. Good Lord. This girl has rich parents. If she screws up she gets to start over, no need to whore herself out. I look forward to Alexis finding out about this though.  The Sam/Kristina scenes were nice. Sonny and Alexis are characters I can do without, but I liked there scenes as well.

Most days I listen to recaps and watch clips here and there. I can't stand the vast majority of characters on this show anymore.

 

The Kristina storyline is so stupid and just insulting to females currently attending/about to attend/just graduated from college who I'm sure are supposed to be the target of this story. First off she went into school with X amount of AP credits and did summer and winter sessions. Even if we say she lost about 2 semesters the last time she returned to town she should be done with undergrad. Now they'e saying she threw herself at some professor who's probably an old ass man over a bad grade, WTF!

 

Valerie/Dante/Lulu/Johnny/Dillion are the worst! Lulu performed CPR on Valerie while still in the smoky room! How the eff does that work? She was breathing smoky air into her lungs! Valerie is a weak ass bish! No matter how much they try and tell us she's strong. She's one of many whiny ass victims on this show. There's not one likeable person is that group.

That's one of the problems with Kristina. One minute they want to play her as the rich preppy bitch, the next the mobster's daughter, and the next they try to treat her as if shes lower middle class.  And she can't be all 3 character types. Because they have no clue what to do with her and don't have alot of other females her age on the show.

Since they kept calling her a fan favorite I assume they brought her back thinking she'd bring some ratings but they have no clue what to do with her and her acting like many others on this show ranges from lackluster to cringe worthy. If Kristina, Morgan, Kiki went away to school tomorrow and didn't return there would be no loss.

    • Okay, I continue to maintain that what is so good about this particular reveal followed by umbrella storyline is that you can see & understand many different points of view where there is not one bad guy or one 100% right person.  About your stated opinion, that Lois & Gloria did the right thing, you know that this was technically an illegal adoption? For it to have been legal the father, if known, would have to have been informed & have signed off on terminating his own paternal rights. And, of course, it is clear how many people they lied to.  Personally I feel like Lois is going to take the biggest "public" blame with Lulu a close second in the blame category. I am looking forward to a tongue lashing I hope Brook Lynn gives to Gloria. I continue to be more than annoyed with Dante. First his attitude toward Gio with regards to Rocco & a drinking game & its results. Second his attitude toward Lulu. Meanwhile enjoying the show every day!
    • Lois and Gloria did the right thing I feel knowing it was Camila that raised Gio has BL feeling some jealousy No one is saying that Camila was a bad mother to Gio I believe it will be Gio saying that Camila was great to him, thanking Lois and Gloria to get BL to see truth
    • Its realistic for Dani and  true of how the character thinks and operates. We've known her long enough to by that this would be consistent with her past characterizatioin
    • Random takes: - What was even the point of that jeweler guy? Also—Dani was borderline harassing him. - I know I’m probably in the minority here, but I want Jacob and Kat to happen. I need something messy to completely dismantle the Duprees—and Katomas just isn’t cutting it.  - I officially can’t stand Jacob and his wife. Same goes for Anita and Vernon. - Hayley’s corset was just as ugly as it looked uncomfortable. - I genuinely don’t remember when or how Derek and Ashley reconciled—and I’m someone who didn’t even mind their storyline! LMAO. - Tuesday’s episode was a mess. - Dani finding out about Hayley’s pregnancy and immediately thinking, “She’s faking it”—huh?! What writer thought that was a realistic reaction? I get denial, but that leap was absurd. I agree the ‘Leslie Victorious’ moment was way OTT. But hey, at least I wasn’t yawning. The following episode, where she handed over her daughter’s last few belongings was much better. - I can’t with the constant back-and-forth between Orphey Gene’s and the Country Club. I forgot this was such a soap trope, but even back in my loyal viewer days (late ‘90s, early 2000s), it wasn’t this bad. While GH has a ton of beautiful sets, we’re stuck with the same three—and half of them are ugly. Also: it’s been way too long since we had a party, gala, or any kind of event. I know the Richardsons’ anniversary gala (back in late April) has had a big ripple effect, but I was kinda getting used to those large-scale episodes. Fingers crossed they don’t go with Guza.  
    • The horrific comments execs and writers make when they justify rape storylines or keeping rapists as love interests is just so icky. I remember Ron Carlivati's comments about the reraping of Marty storyline on OLTL. Made my skin crawl.  No matter what you think of her, Susan Lucci could have demanded front burner storylines but she never did. She was happy to be part of an ensemble. I never got that vibe from Zimmer.  For me, Reva was just not a character I cared that much about after a certain point no matter how talented Zimmer is/was. I think Zimmer had a keener eye for what made a good storyline, but she was less willing to take a backseat if it meant someone else got to shine. I'm trying to recall if she ever mentions Michelle Forbes in her book--one of the few times the viewers did not care about Reva in a storyline. My sense is if she did, it was probably some backhanded remark about how she had to show Forbes the ropes.    
    • GH was good? I havent watched since Joss went away to do her traininig and Lulu had just called Brooklyn out for having Dante's baby and not telling him
    • BTG: A-  DAYS: B+  Eastenders: C
    • There was a rumor that Jean will die and that’s probably why she’s back then
    • There has been some confusion about Michael & facial burns. Please see this post: https://bsky.app/profile/shallotpeel.bsky.social/post/3lqkrryu54226 I've chosen to put this here instead of the Classic Thread because it is now with the appearance of recast Michael that this has come up. Different places online, including at least one podcast, remarks have been made about how remarkable it is that he is without facial scarring. Other fans say it was clear from the first that he did not have facial burns. What is included in this post is 2 screengrabs where you can see his face at the hospital & a very quick edit of that day in the hospital. 
    • Put me in the LOVE KMH camp. As a poster alluded to above, her detractors seem to come from people who first experienced the 80s Emily actress. And that's often the case with soaps, myself included. I enjoy the original actor so much that I just never take to the recast. However, KMH played Emily far longer than the original - for almost 20 years - and when she had great material, she was great. I get the sense she didn't like playing the whiny oh-woe-is-me Emily which was all the material she got from about 1996 until she took over the Intruder in late '99/early '00 and got to play a stronger kiss-ass woman who didn't care what anyone thought of her. (Some would call that a bitch but, if a man was in that role, he'd just be called a smart and savvy businessman.) Her relationship with Hal was great. The transformation was done realistically and I thoroughly enjoyed those years the best out of all. Once the writers decided to break up those two, they went back to writing Emily half the time as whiny and pathetic. I preferred when the writers made her stronger.
