Didn’t the show seemingly tease Brando and Carly? I think that might have been the original plan. 
 

All I can see Gladys doing at this point is somehow finding out about Sonny being alive and keeping it a secret; perhaps even working with Nina. Other than that I don’t see what other use she could serve on the show.

I loved that we called the Jason/Britt from the moment she came back with those bangs. lol. And for me, that was started organic enough. Now it's hard to find organic moments between them because I feel like now the writers want to force it. It appears they have backed off on that to focus a bit on developing Britt's sickness story and framing Jason to keep Peter on the canvas longer (ugh) but I hope going forward they can find ways to keep them connected.

 

Sam/Dante. I know spoilers mentioned she would be getting close to someone not Jason. And he's a good choice. I thought it was forced from go though since they rarely shared scenes. But the other day when he opened the door and she was there and he smiled. I was like 'wow where was the last time Dante truly smiled.' And...I was hooked. lol. And they look great together. And honestly now that she got a taste of the normal life with Drew, I just don't see Sam staying with Jason when she could be a successful PI or a successful media queen. Makes no sense. Like Liz, Sam is about her children. Unlike the Liz we have now, Sam loved her independence.

Because Britt/Jason indeed seemed to start organically and the chemistry is there and they are playing with it without forcing us down our throats, I can't help but, yeah, root for them to explore it.

My major reservation is that I like Britt and I like KT and the thought of her being saddled with SM's Jason grates me already.

Dante/Sam feels like it was more planned (as a response to teasing Jason with someone else) but yeah Jason and Sam are played out at this time. I know they will probably be the end game but Sam has had nothing of interest to play but second-fiddle to Jason and it is time for a shake up.

It’s been years since I have seen an actor tank a pairing like Kelly Monaco has since Burton returned and they got rid of her man BM.  But it does remind me how Steve used to play against having feelings for Sarah Brown’s Carly, even in interviews, when the show was clearly writing it that way.

 

This show is a mess.  Everybody is with the wrong partner.   It reminds me of something I read that Labine said about GH when she took it over.  There were a couple families and a bunch of other characters just kind of left over and still there.  That’s what this is to me.  Just random people onscreen way too much.

I guess Sam/Dante was a little forced, but I think they seem like a good fit. And luckily, it was MUCH less forced then the Michael/Willow stuff last year.

WR is almost like he stumbled out of a bad comedy. He’s conspicuously terrible and not even in a campy, in-on-the-joke way. Which is also a directing/EP failure...

Interestingly, Laura mentioned today that "it's been so long since Amy died" (hence her rushing to have a connection with Martin). Is this the first time Amy (and Shell Kepler's) passing has been acknowledged on the show? (at around 1:40)

    • I was thisclose to taking Kat's side today because of all that unnecessary bashing from Martin and Eva... but then Kat just had to open her mouth to Eva

    • Because Kay Alden (a female writer living in Chicago who had a big crush on Eric Braeden) wanted to write some scenes for Lori Brooks (a female writer living in Chicago who had a big crush on Victor).  The whole storyline was self-indulgent and foolish.

    • Shouldn't this really be Bold opening?

    • -- Jesus, that was bad. -- If we're going to bash Will's face-making, we can't let Luna off the hook. All that scrunched-face crying was annoying. -- Still no explanation as to how Luna escape, leading to utter stupidity that she gets away AGAIN while Will just stands there. -- Meanwhile, the entire cast hilariously gets texts about the jail escape and heads to the beach house.

    • I knew Ray Wise looked familiar (beyond How I Met Your Mother, which I also watched, where he replaced Eric Braeden!).

      GH really needs to keep the WSB honeypot away from Emma, and especially from Gio. If they want to put the two of them in a triangle with someone, it should definitely be with Trina. And, while I don't like Sidwell or this storyline that much, that was a really good ending. I didn't see it coming either.
    • In regards to Long's 2nd stint, it appears as though she officially came back as head-writer between the 4th of July/Bauer Barbeque episodes 1987 and mid August 1987.. and then between April and September 1988 were episodes written by the scabs.  I almost count her having 3 stints head-writing Guiding Light since the writer strike lasted five months. In her 2nd stint, she seemed focused on the following: - Sonni returning from the dead thus keeping Reva/Josh apart yet again so she naturally turns to Alan and causes the ending of the Vanessa/Alan relationship.   I wonder if Maeve's decision to leave affected some of this because she was gone by January 1988, a few months after Long's return so she had to come up with a way to get Vanessa to take off (and it was to be there for Billy during a low point if I recall). - Phillip/Chelsea were pretty heavily focused on during this 2nd stint period and I liked their rapport. - A lesser focused story in the background was the Lillian/Hawk/Sarah situation - Formulating her next version of the 4 Muskateers with Cam/Dinah/Harley/Alan Michael... but in order to include a more rough around the edges Harley.. Dinah was softened quite a bit (though I did see a cat fight between Harley/Dinah where Dinah belted Harley so I think Turco could have played an edgier Dinah). - There also seemed to be a Spaulding takeover going on with Phillip trying to oust Alan.. and it affected his relationship with Chelsea. Post-writer strike, I noticed that the Phillip/Harley arc kicked into gear with him pretending to be 'my fair lady' with Harley.. but trying to set it up to look as though they were sleeping together.  That arc plus the aftermath of Maeve's death were what Long started when she came back after the strike. I don't know how the Alan/Reva situation would have gone had CB remained in the role and if the writer strike hadn't happened.
