GH having three of the five leading ladies noms is pretty sweet - especially considering Maura could have easily been up there too and LW has had many nods under her belt as well. So fascinating to think back of the Pratt/Guza vision for the show and realize that GH now has the strongest "women over 40" lineup of all the soaps. Talk about irony.
I am happy for JPS as well.
The less said about the Emmys that MB and SB being again nominated in the leading men category the better but good for Dominic. And Kober... no words.

Quite the acting tally for GH overall.

 

Yeah it is not that Y&R has never done it - it is just that it is a different type of villain from the kind of kingpin - Cyrus, Archer, Peter to name the latests - that GH does. They are more psycho/manipulators.

And they haven't done any in a long long time and I blame Victor for it - you can't have a proper villain with suspense if Victor is ALWAYS going to come out on top. See what happened with Chelsea.

Anyway this is the GH thread. I do think GH relies TOO MUCH on having one villain everyone battles against, particularly when they always end up tyring back to Sonny/Jason.

Hahahah!!!!

 

5-13/5-14

 

LUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

And already making this Brando/Sasha twist better with her presence. Unlike Gladys. I hope she stays more involved going forward.

 

Meanwhile...this week has been a chore. It just felt like there was no flow to it. Just plot points thrown at the wall to see what will stick. Thankfully, that appears to be shifting. But it's the first bad week for me since the week after the double wedding. 

 

Jason/Sam/Britt was interesting to me. The fact she tracked him down and sabotaged Dante. See...conflict!!! Anyway, there was some great subtext going on that I cannot wait to see more of it once this on-the-run story is over. 

 

I get that Jax has to be able to be Carly's conscience in this mob storyline. How about...we let Carly be Mob Bitca??? No backpedaling into wishy-washy Carly. No thank you.

I have always found SBu hot and I used to feel ashamed of that because I hate Jason most of the time.  He's a good looking man.  I prefer his less bulked up look of the late 90's/early 2000's, but he's still got it.  

I like Jason/Britt.  Steve seems to have some of his spark back.  I am glad we finally got away from JaSam for awhile.  It dragged on for years too long.

    • Coming into June...   It just occurred to me that seeing Carter/Hope engaged that there was something missing. Oh, yeah! DAPHNE. I missed a few episodes, but she left, right? So is Ridge going to be the spoiler for Carter/Hope now? I felt that Daphne/Carter/Hope had more legs to it. But I guess we will see.   I did enjoy that show circling back around to Luna/Will/Electra. Katie was spitting nothing, but truth. Same for Sheila. And it's good to see Luna vs Electra, and they gave off more adversary chemistry this time around versus when they were at Deacon's.    I was happy to see Liam reduced to C plot.
    • To bring over from the May Sweeps Thread from @Chris B   I know the fashions have gotten mixed reviews but I actually like what the new costume designer is putting the cast in. It feels more modern and the more tacky pieces I feel make sense for rich people. They're buying for the brand and the price and we often see celebs in things like this. Especially for a character like Nikki, I feel the more over the top (and tacky), the more realistic it is.   I agree. While it has been hit and miss no question, I have found it fascinating to watch what the costume designer is attempting to do with the various characters and their clothes. Some have been overdue. Some have been fascinating. But (outside of Billy) not boring to watch. I definitely find it more modern as well.   My growing issue has been it's not good that the best reason to watch Y&R as of late has been to see what people are wearing rather than the writing. It feels like a red flag.
    • Haha. The fact that I stopped regularly viewing at the same time and know what you are talking about is chef's kiss.    I'm slowly bingewatching Nurse's Ball Week. But it's slow for me because a lot of the same tics and writing flaws for me that made me throw up my hands is still evident *cough*CVE*cough* Thankfully, there are some things I like also and from a glance in the GH May Thread, it seem like it had a good Sweeps with good fallout. And do I even need to mention Nina finally slapping the taste out of Carly's mouth? See? Regardless of her flaws, I do enjoy Korte-headed episodes over CVE-headed episodes because they always seem to have more emotional resonance to long-time fans.
    • And that charity does still get mentioned from time to time. I want to say the last time was some time this year, too. 
    • Oh, no. Vernon has definitely had his moments.   Choose silence anyone?
    • Search YT for Edwyn Sanchez, he posted an AI enhanced episode of ATWT and it is beautiful.   
    • That's so funny, that's how I listen to Montecito - while walking my dog. I'll have to check out Forever & a Day.
    • I need to listen! Forever & a Day was a fun soapy podcast to have available when I walked the dog.
    • A few years ago, Devon and Nick started a charity organization together, I think it's for housing in the community.
