Prolonging Mike's inevitable death. So Mo can get attention for his work is disgusting. Olivia and Robert in an empty casino. The casino set was nice. Even if Miss Rona wasn't an issue. GH would still had a few extra's at the casino. It's nice to see Ethan's pretty face. Olivia looked like she had an orgasm when she saw Ethan. I'm so sick of Alexis and her killer vag. Alexis has never been one of my favorites. She's such a pale imitation. Of Santa Barbara's  Julia. Who was vastly superior to Alexis in ever way. Temp Brook Lynn isn't that bad. The episode was so dry. boring and depressing. I find myself not giving a toss. About any of the characters. Everything is so lackluster and generic. Not feeling sorry because the town's mob lord is losing his father. I do think that Max Gail has done amazing work.

Agreed.  This seems like it was planned for May sweeps (postponed due to pandemic until now) and to give Maurice something to act in.

 

It didn’t change Sonny or Carly in any real way because the show won’t let them.  It was a good idea for a real life situation that creates emotional stakes and drama.  But it’s over now, and I can’t see it driving future story.  It’s not like Sonny decided to reopen Luke’s and name it Mike’s, so viewers still know there was an impact every time it is mentioned.

 

Oscar’s death also lead nowhere in my opinion.  Joss was sad for a couple of months.

 

BJ dying destroyed Tony, and we watched that happen for years.  Stone’s death changed Robin and Mac immensely, and we followed Robin’s life with HIV for years.  Monica’s cancer gave us Emily and also lead to deeper look at her relationship with Alan, and lasted for years.  When Riche was there Guza “killing” Lucky really broke Laura.  What is this going to do a month from now?

Be an A#$ BTS from what I can tell from interviews.

 

So I caught Robert in Monto Carlo yesterday. And I gotta say Yesss!!! I always loved it when Robert and Olivia team up. LC's fan love is always showing so it's fun watching them. 

 

And that guest spot was nice to see. Hmm.

If it were me, I would have Sonny blame himself for what happened; He would feel that Mike's disease and death was ultimately karma for his life as a mobster and he would revaluate his life and his life in the mob, which would cause Cyrus to make a final play for control of Port Charles.

I'd also have Mike's death be crucial for Dante; I'd have him feel guilty for not being there for his family and would now be determined to get back to them no matter what, leading to a Dante/Lulu/Dustin triangle.

Also, Josslyn would confess her feelings to Cameron and they'd become a couple, but Cameron's growing feelings for Trina cause problems between them. I'd also have Dev be in love with Cam too lol

 

I know the aftermath of Mike's death will probably just end up like Oscar's, but it would be nice to see something like I suggested.

Thanks!

This show gives zero f*cks about T.J. Soaps go out of their way to make their black male characters as bland as possible.

 

These fight scenes with Ethan, Robert, and Olivia

Yep. I bet he gets it too. Zzzzzzzzzzzz

 

Yeah, he was an ass. Maybe he's grown up a bit but he still had a bit of an arrogant/egotistical thing when he threw himself out there on twitter for a job on the soaps again. No thanks. Morgan is totally recastable. But I'd prefer he stay gone. But you just know someday Morgan's ass is gonna be alive.

 

I'm only really enjoying Robert and Olivia. Says a lot, doesn't it. LOL. I didn't even mind seeing Ethan. Parsons looked good.

 

I hated Courtney but it was nice they used her to take Mike off. It's bizarre it feels nice to see her. lol.

 

Of course idiots on Twitter turned it into "Morgan must be alive since they used Courtney to take Mike off". Um, Courtney was Mike's daughter. I guess they forgot. Morgan was his grandson but the daughter is a little more important. I swear stans annoy the [!@#$%^&*] outta me. LOL. 

 

I never believed Holly was dead lol. Just like I never believed Taggert was either.

 

But I'm glad to actually SEE her.

 

Guessing this is how they 'get' Peter (or not)

    • Surely we (and Billy Flynn) are not going to be saddled with a character named Aristotle Dumas? This isn't 1970's Edge of Night.
    • What annoys me a little bit about the "day players" is they sound a bit too "Brooklyn-ish" sometimes.  Obviously, the show was taped in New York City, and the actors are all New York actors, but Monticello is supposed to be located in Illinois or Ohio.  Occasionally, they grab actors and actresses for small roles who have VERY distinct New York accents, which contrasts sharply with the main cast, none of whom have noticeable accents (except for our dashing European gigolo, Eliot Dorn, of course).  The heavy Brooklyn accent works fine if the character is a bookie, or the owner of a pawn shop, or a guy who's selling stolen guns on the street corner.  But when it's a steadily recurring character -- such as the first Mrs. Goodman, who worked for Miles and Nicole -- it's pretty jarring to me sometimes.  And you'll see it often -- such as an "under-five" character who witnesses a car accident, or a character who witnesses a shooting, or the occasional desk clerk, or waiter.

    • That's always been my thought. I can't imagine that the show would play up the unseen AD so far in advance without them casting a *star*. After today's episode, I wonder if he'll somehow be connected with Diane. It was strange that Diane mentioned her very distant family today. I can't recall Diane ever talking about her backstory. Maybe he's her much younger brother?  It's also possible he's connected to Diane during her time in LA. Sally's already said she crossed paths with him. OC, I think Dumas is Mariah's mistake.... As a side note, it was good to see some mixing it up - Adam with Clare/Kyle and Sharon with Tessa.
    • Here's the place to share some memorable criticism. You don't have to agree with it, of course (that's often where the fun starts). Like I mentioned to @DRW50, Sally Field was a favorite punching bag in the late '80s and early '90s.   Punchline (the 1988 movie where she and Tom Hanks are stand ups): "It's impossible to tell the difference between Miss Field's routines that are supposed to be awful, and the awful ones that are supposed to be funny." -- Vincent Canby, New York Times. "It's not merely that Field is miscast; she's miscast in a role that leaves no other resource available to her except her lovability. And (David) Seltzer's script forces her to peddle it shamelessly." -- Hal Hinson, Washington Post. "As a woman who can't tell a joke, Sally Field is certainly convincing. ... Field has become an unendurable performer ... She seems to be begging the audience not to punch her. Which, of course, is the worst kind of bullying from an actor. ... She's certainly nothing like the great housewife-comedian Roseanne Barr, who is a tough, uninhibited performer. Sally Field's pandering kind of 'heart' couldn't be further from the spirit of comedy." -- David Denby, New York   Steel Magnolias: The leading ladies: Dolly Parton: "She is one of the sunniest and most natural of actresses," Roger Ebert wrote. Imagining that she probably saw Truvy as an against-type role, Hinson concluded it's still well within her wheelhouse. "She's just wearing fewer rhinestones." Sally Field: "Field, as always, is a lead ball in the middle of the movie," according to Denby . M'Lynn giving her kidney to Shelby brought out David's bitchy side. "I can think of a lot more Sally Field organs that could be sacrificed." Shirley MacLaine: "(She) attacks her part with the ferociousness of a pit bull," Hinson wrote. "The performance is so manic that you think she must be taking off-camera slugs of Jolt." (I agree. If there was anyone playing to the cheap seats in this movie, it's Shirley.) Olympia Dukakis: "Excruciating, sitting on her southern accent as if each obvious sarcasm was dazzlingly witty," Denby wrote. Daryl Hannah: "Miss Hannah's performance is difficult to judge," according to Canby, which seems to suggest he took a genuine "if you can't say something nice ..." approach. Julia Roberts: "(She acts) with the kind of mega-intensity the camera cannot always absorb," Canby wrote. That comment is so fascinating in light of the nearly 40 years Julia has spent as a Movie Star. She is big. It's the audience who had to play catch up. And on that drag-ish note ... The movie itself: "You feel as if you have been airlifted onto some horrible planet of female impersonators," Hinson wrote. Canby: "Is one supposed to laugh at these women, or with them? It's difficult to tell." Every review I read acknowledged the less than naturalistic dialogue in ways both complimentary (Ebert loved the way the women talked) and cutting (Harling wrote too much exposition, repeating himself like a teenager telling a story, Denby wrote). Harling wrote with sincerity and passion, Canby acknowledged, but it's still a work of "bitchiness and greeting card truisms." The ending was less likely to inspire feeling good as it was feeling relieved, according to Denby. "(It's) as if a group of overbearing, self-absorbed, but impeccable mediocre people at last exit from the house."
    • I tend to have two minds about Tawny (Kathy Najimy) fainting during Soapdish's big reveal. You're the costume designer, if anything, you should have known the whole time. I guess it's an application of what TV Tropes calls the "Rule of Funny." Every time I watch Delirious, I always want the genuine romance in John and Mariel's reunion at the deli counter to last longer. Film critics had their knives out for Sally in this period. I'll start a separate thread on the movies page.
