Wayment, WHAT happened??

I just tuned in, is that temp Monica I spotted for a split second at the shower?

Ah, nvm, I see that she is.

Temp Monica is a fail.

And that baby shower was excruciating.

So was it supposed to look like Carly pushed Nelle down the stairs? Because it didn't look like that at all.

I didn’t think so either, but it didn’t seem like there were any witnesses to dispute Nelle’s story should she say Carly pushed her. Carly already publicly lashed out at her minutes earlier.

Memories of Reva “pushing” Annie on GL:

No, they made sure Carly had no contact so viewers are clear on what happened. Smelle grabbed the blanket and stumbled over and lost her footing.

How much longer do you think Mike will last? I'm rooting for Max Gail to win at next year's Emmys.

That's where I figured this was going. Ugh. This story has me rooting for Carly. I can't wait for Nelle to be exposed.

I think the potential power of the scene of Monica blaming Sonny for the death of her own son during the shower was lost with an understudy uttering the lines. What a shame for Leslie Charleson and for us. I have to give Barbara Bloom and Chris Van Etten some credit for restoring the character's memories on GH. However, I'm still very upset with Genie Francis and Kin Shriner being gone. As much as I try, I struggle to stay positive about the show now.

Shades of Carly and Sonny spending years blaming A.J. for her fall down the stairs and miscarrying Sonny's child.

Are we really supposed to believe that the red carpet guy knew who OSCAR was? Please.

Robin's dress is hideous.

I feel like doing a prime time drama type family on a soap is a mistake as daytime is created to have this sort of infinite story feeling for better or worse. We complain about these story loops, but really for many that’s life. We fall into patterns and even if we move past them we backslide.
There really should be a life continues on sort of feel to a soap finale rather than a resolution, as some of the joy of watching soaps is watching for years and there being no easy resolution because the story didn’t end after 100 episodes.

It cracks me up that Central Park West rips are still largely those I did in the early 2000s. I need to get a better tv ripper and crack this open:

God, I'm so horrible that I keep thinking that Tyler Perry is fascinating from a self-hating gay perspective. Veronica in The Haves and the Have Nots is clearly his mother stand-in. Yet, Tyler, I'm sure your mom isn't that hateful. She's just a camp parody of the homophobic mother without much effort put behind her motivations.

Also, why on earth are people watching Tyler Perry shows?

Too much focus on McMurphy's life (that dreary French doctor...), just too much focus on McMurphy, period, and I felt like they went overboard in reminding us of how terrible Vietnam was when we already knew that. There was a whole episode about some young soldier who was paralyzed and I just remember a lot of Robert Picardo screaming and I felt like someone had gotten their student film script sent through.
The fourth season is better, the story with KC is very moving, but again, so many repeated beats with McMurphy and her love life and all of her angst, literally every man in the cast being in love with her aside from Boonie (they must have run out of time).
I also thought they did Frankie dirty.
To me the two-parter where she went back home to see her dying father was a perfect conclusion.

@Franko Thanks so much for your newest recap. I look forward to these, and I appreciate how you structure them instead of just straight up summaries - in cases like this with the Laurelton story I know that would be a chore for you to put together. The Laurelton scenes sound alternately dreary and unhinged.
Did DL know about what Terry went through in Laurelton? Was that ever mentioned?
Given that we're just out of Valentine's Day, day I liked the focus on various couples. I agree that something is wrong when Steve only returns to prop a couple who only last for a year and he has no real connection with.
Bobbie and Jake had such an unhappy end and were yet another soap couple tarnished by constant baby stories, so I am appreciating their happier days here.

Oh stuff like China Beach does occupy a weird space in time. The Vietnam war certainly did push a lot of shows that weren't necessarily that mainstream.
Also, Dana Delaney has a great plastic surgeon. She looks amazing to this day.

You didn't like the last two seasons?
I dunno, I thought CB was a class act from beginning to end. Very well done, with a level of talent on both sides of the camera you don't see much nowadays on network TV. It's definitely better than CBS' "Tour of Duty," which ran around the same time, I think, but constantly had to reboot/revamp itself each season, and wasn't as honest about the horrors of the Vietnam War.

Finale aside, few shows have made me think they should not go past two seasons more than China Beach.

Well that wouldn't be hard as Y&R writing is abysmal. But I'm sorry BTG doesn't need to import characters from other shows-they've got plenty going on.
And Bryton/Devon has always been boring under every Y&R writing team.
