THANK YOU!!! 

 

Other than some off weeks and what you mentioned about Peter (ugh) and Cyrus, every since the year started, GH (okay, a little earlier with Tracy's return last year) has felt like traditional soap storytelling again. And I loved that I called that double wedding before Maxie even suggested it to Anna. Don't you miss little moments like that? We used to get those on soaps all the time. Or even now with Michael/Willow/Chase. M and W finally admit to their feelings and Chase gets poisoned. And now they have to hide that. Just traditional soap stuff. Or when you all called it with Nina stumbling into a Sonny without no memory. Who does that? lol. But yeah, good times. 

 

I've been into soap watching in a minute, but it has been good so far this year if they would only get rid of Peter IMHO.

 

 

Hahaha. Now THAT'S a spoiler that I don't mind.

 

I would have been upset.

Yes. We had discussed it a few weeks ago and I agree I am very satisfied with the soapiness of a lot of the current plots. 

I often feel soap producers and writers nowadays have internalized "soap shame" and are trying to make their show look and feel as anything BUT a soap. But we watch soaps because we love soaps!
We all could see the BrookLynn/Maxie baby switch story or the Nina-will-see-Sonny-first twist and the double-wedding-reveal-all-the-secrets set up and the Britt-and-Jason-chemistry-tests because we are soap watchers but we love it and we eat it up! And it is good fun entertainment and they should embrace it.
If I want to see a crime drama, I will watch a crime drama. I want to watch a soap and that's what I feel when watching General Hospital in 2021 - down to the islands of bad actings lol. So I fully appreciate it.

Even through i don't like Carly or the mob. I'm getting a kick out of her running the mob. I also like Britt confiding her fear of having Huntington's disease to Jason. Dante looks good with a haircut and a shave. Never been a fan of Dante or Sam. But i'm seeing a nice chemistry between them. I'm glad the writers remembered Ava and Trina's friendship. Always like their scenes together.

I may be in the minority here... but I actually enjoyed the Jordan/Portia chat! It’s really nice to see them become friends after the tension between them over the whole Taggert fake death thing.

 

Trina also knocked it out of the ball park with Cam. I’m really glad they’re addressing systemic racism, and I hope GH continue to do stuff like this.

You are not in the minority. I know plenty who have applauded Tuesdays episode for the Jordan/Portia scenes, as well as Tina's own scenes, despite being with Cameron.
It felt nice to see topical issues being tackled on American soap operas again, especially in the right way.

Lol.  It's 2 unattached adults that have jobs and are basically okay people having a baby.  Is that even a story?  I don't see any conflict there at all.   Sasha is a women in her 20's/30's? who can support a baby on her own.  Unless there is a WTD twist this whole thing is dull.

I loved her as a cokehead.  It wasn't good acting, but at least it was mildly entertaining.  I prefer her to Willow by a lot so I wish she would do something.   I would even take a wacky Deception story with Lucy over this.  I used to like the Katherine/Lucy/Brenda shenanigans back in the day.

Let's be fair to the show though and wait a bit before we complain. We *just* learned she was pregnant; they are setting up the story. 
Could very well be they are going to go somewhere interesting with this; we cannot declare a story a bore before it has even started

      I vaguely recall it surfaced on either TNT or TBS around 1993 or so but I could be wrong about the channel. By 1997 when this article was written Knots was still airing on TNT, Dallas was on the old TNN network (which today is Paramount), and Dynasty was on…well I don’t even recall now but feel like it was either E!  or Bravo. TNN ran Dukes of Hazzard and Dallas together in the evenings for years surprised they didn’t just pick up FC to resurrect the trifecta.

      I think you're thinking of the dress she wore on April 15 from her Ebony cover shoot when Andre had to put her in bed.

      @Maximthank you for such a thoughtful reply. I have printed it out so I have it with me as I watch most of the soap clips on the YT app on my TV. I've always wanted to get into Edge of Night, but I didn't no where to start.

      Laugh-In was also before my time, but I loved watching her when Nick at Nite and TV Land ran repeats. She was also on Sesame Street for years. So vibrant. One of those people I've never heard bad word of. Sorry to hear that.

      Amazing resource. Thank you! I'm pretty confident that she's worn it before. I'll look into it. That or I'm having some serious deja vu.

      Other than Soapnet I am trying to remember if I ever even saw it in syndication. I know I saw Dallas, Knots and Dynasty in syndication before Soapnet.

      The preemptions helped me catch up. Watched the last two episodes today. Obviously fantastic stuff. Martin's acting was really great when he was confronting Ted. He's finally clickin. The look on Naomi and Chelsea's faces when Silk Press talked about Bill... but was she telling the truth? This does explain what I always wondered which is why Silk Press didn't just sue for child support. Hayley all scandalized that Ted had an affair like she isn't a ho. Vanessa all scandalized that Ted had an affair like she isn't a ho, and Doug being like "ummm... ?" but Vanessa having kind of a point, and this setting up a good dynamic that Doug isn't that cool with the arrangement (and, the B&B of it all, with the A storyline going and the B characters sitting around talking about it). That guy popping up to say "that much is true!" about Eva being locked in the closet. Nicole's understated acting and Eva's emotion. Ted not being able to handle Eva at the moment, but you get the sense he's not closed off to her completely. Andre and Eva's unexpected bonding was nice. The point made to Dani that she shouldn't be upset because Ted technically did what she wanted from Bill which was to recommit himself to the family after the affair.

      Also, where has Dani worn this dress before? I recognize it, because the first time she had it on I was like why is my girl wearing party streamers. Then when I saw it yesterday, I was a little surprised that they were having Dani who pulls out 4 episodes in a single episode repeat a outfit so soon.
