The first thing i see i was the ginger wench Nina. Nina see's Smurfette's kid and she becomes obsessed with the child. Out of nowhere cartoonish villain Valentin takes off his mask and tells. Laura,Alexis.Lulu, Sam and Kevin that he owns Wyndemere. Lord almighty Franco was dressed as a mime clown. Sonny continues on his pity party having hallucinations about Morgan. All that took place in the first ten mins. I couldn't take anymore.

Oh please!  They dusted off the scripts from Robin's explosion.  Morgan will be alive; it was cheap, overblown theatrics for a character they ruined with dumb plot points.  It's all about the mob and every criminal on the show gets away with capital murder but they are heroes and sex symbols i.e. Julian.  The honest characters are played by non-actor/models who shouldn't open their mouths but do look pretty in tighty whities.

TBF the writers really liked the buildup for months of plot (Carly/Sonny's view of the mob life, Julian getting off, Ava's manipulation) all of which led to Morgan's death. And this was the climax of a lot of that...allowing for the story to spin off in several different hopefully interesting directions.

 

 

That I can agree with. How long has it been since a soap (B&B start of last year maybe) taken several story threads and let them converge to an ending of sorts?

It is classic umbrella plotting.  But it felt flat instead of exhilarating for me.  Because they are boring writers and the show is bland and lack personality.  So their best work is great for them but nothing for me as a viewer.  And for a story that has built for a year, the payoff has to be stronger.

Not to mention wtf is everybody but Nikolas so interested in that house?  The Cassadines took it over but it was Faison's before they arrived in the late 90's.

 

Valentin is a waste of a compelling, attractive actor.  Because he's too psychotic.  Stefan worked because you knew he was in love with Laura and Nikolas and hated Helena.  If they had been smart, just replay the Scotty/Laura/Luke triangle with Dante/Lulu/Valentin by making him dark but sympathetic and Lulu is drawn to him.

There have been scenarios where "ghosts" could be used to help move story along.  For example, the one place where GH did it right was when Courtney appeared to Spencer and told him to try harder to get along with, who Spencer referred to, as "the townies".  With Morgan, it could have been a chance to show viewers why Morgan was so lovable to his parents, or, a chance for Morgan to let his father know he is still loved no matter what, or that he is forgiven.  Instead, it was all ugliness and wasted time.  I don't necessarily think Jelly is all bad, however, if they do things like they did with these ghost scenes, I will not hesitate to call them on it.  Not everything they do is "smart t.v.", as as a certain poster here would have us believe.  I have offered praise where I think they have earned it.

      Thanks! There's never enough early 1980s AMC around.    The only actor I don't recognize is the actress playing Wanda, Mike's agent.

      Dani going to Bill's house is karma for how he messes with Martin. It is totally separate, but I can't feel sorry for Bill when he's constantly antagonizing a family he says he wants nothing to do with.

      I understand what Lois did. I can see everyone's side, even if I don't agree with them.  That  proves it's a good story    Lois is far from ruined

      The character of Lois has been ruined and trashed. There's no coming back from this mess. The current production and writing team have had no idea as to what made her special to begin with. She had a bit of moral fiber. Her treatment on the show is not atypical though, as most characters will get trashed, even beyond redemption, if it serves the current flavor of the month plotline.

      No idea if this one had ever been up before or what the exact date is, but it's always good to look at/save the new AMC content while you can. If you're here for the drama there is some delirium with Adam and Erica about 10-12 minutes in.

      I think there's a story to tell in someone who always believed in honesty and integrity being emmeshed in so many lies, but I agree that it wasn't very well laid out over the last few months. I think if I was more invested in Lois, I would have more of an issue than I do. Few can hold up against Jane. This is one of those cases where I think mentioning who already switched babies or have long-lost children would just take away from the fallout. If Lulu wants to drag Brook Lyn for hypocrisy there is probably still time (if the show bothers). I don't think anyone would claim these are the best GH episodes ever. It may be very lowered expectations at play. But I do think that scenes like yesterdays were some of Tracy's best, as she is a character who is often not allowed that type of moment.

      You would think that, wouldn't you? I'd almost think they needed the money to get Robert Newman back, but they also had to know Larkin wasn't going to stick around and play second banana either. I don't get what the writers thought they were doing with Calla. Long liked using actors from Texas, but other than Alex/Bev McKinsey, the characters she wrote for them seemed blah.
