I thought it might be it at first but the lack of fanfare, goodbyes, homage from LW on social media... All the things you usually get from someone when they leave told me ... otherwise.
We will have a blessed few months with RH, Peter and Sonny out of Port Charles stories. Sigh.

Yeah, there he was to the chagrin of many lol. It looks like Nina may see him as well. I wonder if he tries to blackmail on keeping quiet about him being alive, because he may know that she knows Sonny/Mike is alive and hasn't told anyone about that. (And then Nina would be keeping two very big secrets). Or if maybe Nina sees him briefly but he doesn't speak and leaves quickly. And she thinks that her mind may be playing tricks on her. She's already a bit rattled after Maxie showing up on unexpectedly and wanting to stay in Nixon Falls with her.

AGREED!   I used to be a big fan of Ingo Rademacher as Jax, UNTIL I found out what a Trumper and Q-Anon crazy he is.  I think Jax has ran his course, instead of recasting (which I once thought would be best), it would be great to have Jax be a mob casualty.  Maybe he dies saving Carly's life,  or he's shot mistaken for Jason. 

I agree Lindsey Morgan was much better as Kristina, than the over-hyped, Lexi Ainsworth. 

So pissed and NOT surprised that Peter is alive.  Must be nice being Laura Wright's boyfriend?  Right Wes Ramsey?

On the other hand, it sets up a nice little conflict between him and Brooklyn whenever they finally move on to these two as the next endgame post-Willow.

So you know, while I question some strategic decisions the writers are making (Austin's mere existence, Peter's return), I really can't hate on the very cleverly soapy way the show is being written right now.

Yeah. Sigh.

 

As do I.

 

I have some minor issues, and several characters could go tomorrow and I wouldn't blink an eye, but I'm liking what they're trying to do. I wish Frank would let them write. 

 

Meanwhile, Austin's interest in Leo was borderline creepy. Howarth is so lazy.

I'll be honest, it took me a second to realize who Leo was when he popped up today. Kind of bizarre that they'd put him in a scene with Dante and Sam and remind the viewers that those two share Leo as a sibling but are dating.

And Leo wouldn't say hi to Sam for some reason. Then Olivia took him to the hospital for essentially a paper cut? What? It was all so weird. And Howarth's ponytail is getting worse by the day.

The Valentin/Anna/Sam scenes were all five seconds long and it was really annoying.

Michael and his one facial expression telling Willow that she's not a selfish, horrible coward... STFU Michael, yes she is. Chad Duell is soooo one note.

Angry Chase is the hottest man on the show.

Ingo Rademacher's smug IG story is laughably cringeworthy.

YES! Plus, to me, Lindsey Morgan visually worked better as the daughter of Maurice Benard (Sonny) and Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis). Not to mention, Kristina remarking she is the product of a "sleazy one-night stand" is an iconic read.

    • I really have no problem with Kai as a character or with the actor. The problem is putting together two very nice people -- Kai and Trina. Neither of them has a bad side, neither of them has a devil on the shoulder, neither of them is impulsive. I think that's a problem in a soap relationship. Yeah, I agree. All this freaking out might make sense if Lulu wanted to do a tabloid expose on BLQ's LOVE CHILD. We have no indication that's the case.  
    • So Sonni would have somebody to talk to who she wasn't conspiring with (Will or Alan)? Alex kept telling Sonni how important her friends were...when she had virtually no friends. Instead they created loyal servants like Jane and Vera to give Alex people to play off of. They did that with Iris on AW, but Vivien was mostly there for comic relief Alex keeping Marah's paternity a secret was absurd. But I still love the scene between Alex and Alan where he convinces her by reminding her how they protected each other from their abusive father. Chris and Bev ATE that scene. Unfortunately, that took place only a few months before he exited the show...always thought they could have built on that, explored more how being Brandon's children screwed them both up. Maybe even used it as an explanation for the way their relationship could constantly swing from hatred to love. Instead of it being merely dictated by the plot.
    • The first one is Cass Winthrop dressed as Krystle Lake on Another World (not from his original creation of the character to hide from the loan shark Tony the Tuna, but at a romance convention trying to find out what had happened to Felicia who was missing). The second one is also Another World, Jake McKinnon as Doris although I don't recall what his purpose was.
    • I know there was one brief scene in the summer of 1989 where Lillian did mention Calla.. but in relation to her past relationship to Ross and it was to Roger while he was a patient at Cedars.  I think he was trying to pump her for information on Ross.. and for some reason, Calla's name came up.   I could see perhaps Beth mentioning that her mother Lillian was visiting Calla.. but not exactly giving any sort of details as to the going ons in Calla's life off screen.

    • They're neither great nor terrible AFAIK, but it is more a question of the streaming numbers in this day and age vs. actual TV airings. The Chibnall era reminded me much more of the crisis years, but I do think it's a very real possibility now as well due to the streaming bubble collapse affecting the show and its prospects.
    • ANYTHING to get her off the screen..she COULD have been interesting if she and Van had a few face offs..(there was a mild one of her going back to work...but I wanted something meatier "Bitch, I am Vanessa Chamberlain and I don't take advice from someone who followed the..career path you did!" I did like Alex's outright disdain for her.
    • Thanks @Vee for the commentary.    I haven’t even watched this season yet after  I couldn’t get past the couple episodes last season…like it was too Disneyified for my taste, although I did think it was a least better than the Chibnall era (but so is a lot of things). I’ll probably go back and binge it now. Hoping this season ends on a high note. I did read the ratings are terrible. As it stands I’m beginning to feel like what long time DW fans felt with S26 in 1989.
    • Yes, they are all on contract. Next.
