That's true. I figured it went without saying but I was happy to see him. Ingo is aging very nicely. And I do like his relationship with Alexis. I hate Alexis/Julian but I liked what Jax had to say to her about mourning Julian. I also love how Josslyn gives Carly [!@#$%^&*] at every turn. That's how Carly's daughter should be.

 

The show has been watchable. I caught up on last week and while that was still March, I didn't mind Lucy/Ava and Ned/Olivia and the hostage situation at Floating Rib. I also liked Jordan/Curtis on their date. They definitely have chemistry to me. Even Anna/Valentin wasn't horrible.

 

I really enjoyed Tracy and Laura's interactions. They're actually really fun together and play off of each other well.

 

Last week also proves Hayden/Finn are completely and totally pointless.

 

I still don't care about Franco/Liz and never will. It should be AJ in Franco's spot so I'm resenteful for that reason and it just sounds so dumb everytime Liz tries to justify Franco as a better person. UGH.

I thought it was nice that they did an onscreen tribute to Barbara Tarbuck, who had played Lady Jane, Jax's mom.  I really wish soaps did this kind of thing more often for actors that played characters no longer on the current canvas but still much loved by fans.  For example, on-air tributes to Bob Hastings and Todd Davis would have been great.

I thought so too; she was definitely different IMHO, but we'll see ...

 

And slick is right though, they don't write strong women. They think they do but they don't. They're a bit better at Higley with writing for women though, although that isn't saying a lot ...

 

I haven't hated the show lately. Again, it's watchable. I've liked seeing Ingo back and I like that they addressed Barbara Tarbuck's/Lady Jane's passing.

 

So of course Sonny will find out he never had sex with Nelle just as Carly has sex with Jax. LOL

 

Chloe Lanier did a great job this week, IMHO.

 

While the show isn't bad or trash, it's just so easily predictable. Who didn't see the Alex/Anna thing with Valentin, or Jax/Carly having sex as Sonny finds out the truth, or Julian being alive and haunting Alexis? It's all just so basic.

I found the clips where they talked about this. Other than the generic music drowning out the dialogue, it was decent enough. It was nice to see characters actually talking and sharing stories. I was surprised they even bothered, as this isn't exactly a show that has much use for its own history beyond camp. Ingo must have been close to Barbara Tarbuck as his grief felt real.

    • lol he sounds like he's speaking as Randy    
    • 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
    • Oh wow. Thanks so much for sharing!!!
    • 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.
    • Bo has a bad history with kids named Zach. (too soon?)
    • Christie said in her interview this week -- that before taping this, she had recently started taking acting classes again, and had been doing some work in England, so that helped her to jump into Carrie for this (as well as it being all so familiar, it really was home.)
