I feel like the Nina/Carly scenes were solid overall, but felt just a little anemic due to lack of physical altercation, lol. In a situation like this it would make sense if Carly slapped Nina.

I agree, they've haven't told us enough about Esme. Like who is she really after? She's interacted with Kevin, hates Ava, and is also circling around Joss. Who is she really after? They could also give us more insight into her motivations, like what's driving her to do what she's doing. We're not given much of nothing but her hanging onto Spencer, while Sprina aren't given much of anything anymore in regards to airtime together.

They should have had at least one alone scenes with Spencer/Trina before he got exposed. But I don't think we are going to get that. We might not really get much of that for a while after he's exposed. They are wasting airtime with the way they are handling Esme. And I think that the actress can act which makes what they are doing worse.

I agree totally on Esme. They already seem to be wasting time. I think the whole 'Ava's stalker' storyline is stalling and keeps getting 'reset' if you will. We're all losing interest. I like the actress too and she seems to elevate a bit past the one-noteness of the character. I just don't get this show. There's "slow burn" (where, you know, it's actually interesting) and then there's whatever they call what they're doing.

 

Agreed on Carly and Nina. I could nitpick a few things but I'm satisfied for the most part. I wanted a slap really bad though.

I think that the Ava's stalker storyline is definitely stalking. And it does feel like according to what I've seen from the newest spoilers, like they are going to kind of reset after spencer is exposed. I wonder if a big reason it's stalling is because Ava/Nikolas haven't really kissed and haven't shown much in the way of physical intimacy.

I'm not sure if that's because MC is not vaccinated or maybe that's a choice by either or Maura not to kiss due to Covid, I don't know. But they are definitely lacking when it comes to kissing and physical closeness. Those bottom of their shoes kisses are not working. They couldn't do any better before the vaccines, but now the vaccines are out there. And IMO, Nik/Ava don't have enough chemistry to sell a pairing that can go without kissing/physical closeness. Sprina can sell that and a pair like Valentin/Anna can, but Nava can't IMO. 

So, I think that's why the show keeps doing everything to try and keep them apart so they don't have to kiss/have real intimacy. On one hand it brought us NC as Spencer, and he's a doing a great job in the role. On the other hand they can't do this forever. And even if they do reunite, after Spencer is exposed. (And I think they might) I think they still will flat as a couple because of the lack of physical closeness. 

And I don't like what they are doing with Sprina. No alone scenes and today Trina said she barely knew Spencer. Granted she hasn't known him a long time, but that did feel a bit cold. Cam showed more concern for Spencer's well-being today than Trina did. That may change as this story progresses, but that's not something I like to see. Though, maybe things will work out for them.

I saw the chem btwn Esme and Cam too and now there are two teen couplings I want to happen that seem unlikely. Seriously, they were getting great buzz from Sprina so they decide to just not have them be alone together for months?

Maybe I am overthinking it but the fact that Nina's first line during the confrontation was "I see Sonny told you..." followed by Carly briefly frowning tells me this particular point is going to bother Carly. Because indeed he didn't tell her and we are supposed to draw a conclusion from that.

Yep. Carly should definitely be pissed at Sonny. It's probably not going to be long before Carly starts realizing there's more between Sonny and Nina than either is saying. Hopefully.

 

It's such an odd decision. I don't even dislike the actress and I'd rather see Harmony over Willow but like ... WHY?

      GH: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      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.

      ALL: Drag/Crossdressing Disguises in Soap Operas?

      By Xanthe · Posted

      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.
