Alexis gets out of prison just in time for Thanksgiving and not one of her daughters is there. WTF? I get that Sam is busy celebrating Jason's death with some new dick, but where the hell are Molly and Kristina? Dumb.

Esme really sticks out like a sore thumb in scenes with Spencer's family. Like she just doesn't belong in these scenes. It's especially annoying to have her there when none of Alexis's kids get to be present. I do appreciate that Alexis has no time for Esme. Also, why does Spencer care about any of this family drama? He claimed he's not part of the Cassadine family anymore.

I know it's silly but I felt bad for Spinelli. But I bet he feels dumb now for ditching Ellie to be with his true love Jason... oops.

I don't mind Sam/Dante. And it was nice to see someone get an actual love scene. Man, they really have Sam happy in bed with Dante two minutes after finding out that Jason died. The final nail in JaSam's coffin.

EWW I forgot about Oscar. Don't mention that kid. The Monica/Drew scenes were nice.

I'm just not here for Britt and Carly wailing over Jason. At least they were nice to each other and not screeching.

Sexy ass Chase gets a six month suspension for punching Valentin? Stupid.

I have no idea what purpose poor Alexis/NLG could possibly still serve on this show or who she could be paired with (her daughters are all a wash at this point and need breaks or to be written out of town for awhile, IMO - Sam permanently) but those scenes were a lot of fun. And Charles Shaughnessy, against long odds IMO, is a hoot as Victor. I love Thaao Penghlis on DAYS for all his camp and pomp but this is very different from Thaao's last very rickety stint as Victor. They could really make this last for some time with the new Victor if they were smart, which they aren't, but he is so much more compelling than Wes Ramsey or ol' hickory ham Cyrus (I love Jeff Kober in his many classic movie and TV roles but this Cyrus mess has been a debacle every time I tune in).

UO: Esme should [!@#$%^&*] Papa Nikolas for the bag and scandalize all involved.

Couldn't help but roll my eyes at that.

Valentin, allegedly the worst Cassadine of them all, instead of getting back at Chase on his own, runs to Mac like a petty little bitch and gets Chase suspended. Very stupid. And immature too, if you ask me.

Something has felt off with Dante and Sam for quite sometime, I don't know if it's due to the fact that they are no longer longing for each other while being apart, if it's due to Dante's beard no longer being present(lol), or his conditioning/ptsd story being wrapped up so quickly that took the wind out of this couples sails. I still like them, but it's just not the same now for some reason.

I thought they had promise early on when Dante was still recovering. I don’t know: they had “something” for a brief moment. But in the routine world of the show, playing house and having dates, they are boring. 

But even with Sprina, who are played by dynamic actors and ooze chemistry, they are not really able to carry on a story, and they’ve lost a lot of momentum. Maybe SM isn’t as available with her class schedule, plus just the reality of soaps in 2021, but they aren’t maintaining the tension as much as I’d like.

Yeah, I don't know if it's a matter of 4 out of the 5 teens being in college in real life, or just because we now have to devote airtime to things like Jason's death, but the teens have been MIA recently. Joss finding out about Jason was the first time we had seen her in 3 or 4 weeks. Up until yesterday, we hadn't seen any of the others in two weeks. There's just no momentum on this show. What happened to their weekend getaway? Spencer's trial? How are we supposed to invest in any of the stories when some of them are featured so sporadically? Are we supposed to be into Liz and Finn who are on two days a month? Brando and Sasha who disappear for weeks at a time? But we have time for a Jarly montage.

I thought DZ/Dante was one of the best newcomers GH had in years when he started.  Even through the Brenda/Dante mess, I still thought he was damn charming.  He was the only one to have chemistry with JMB and early Lante was a delight.  

Somewhere along the way DZ lost interest and so did the show.  It's disappointing because I have always liked Dante.  I just don't see the appeal anymore.  Sam/KeMo has always been lame, so that's not surprising.  I like the idea of Sam/Dante and think they make a good looking couple, but it's falling flat.  It's definitely not the worst pairing, but it did have more potential in the beginning.  The fact they share a sibling and she had a baby by his father actually doesn't bother me as much as it should though.

@Faulkner I'm not a Sprina fan but it's nice to see folks so excited about a new pairing.  As for SM, I believe her schedule is messing with the momentum.  They are on and have touching moments and then off for a week or so.  The up and down will kill the pairing before they start.  Add in, the potential of SM leaving one day.  She's been on multiple covers and her star is rising.  She may outgrow the show before Sprina get off the ground.  The show has to do better with her schedule.  Break the scenes up so even when she's off, she's on.

    • I can get through another 10 to 20 episodes. April is such a compelling character. The actress just owns the screen. I think this is also why I'm annoyed by Draper. Margo and April are so fantastic that Draper is a wet blanket (except for one scene which I mention below).   Draper was bearable in his scenes with Logan because he was not whining about the house. If he has more scenes with Logan, I can tolerate him. As of now, he's just very one note. Everyone has had more to do.  Thank you for explaining about Raven's backstory and her connection to Draper. It clears things up. Logan explained things a bit in the convo with Draper, but there was still some things I was not sure of. Gabet and Kibbee are just sensational. I now see why people adore Sharon Gabet. How did AW squander her talents? SMH.  It's the way Draper is written. I'm drawn to Eliot who is a total cheating pig. The writing and the performance are first-rate. Draper is stomping around like a spoiled child and I don't have the benefit of seeing April and Draper's relationship from the beginning so this is my first into to Draper. He's annoying as can be. ========== There's also an African-American police officer who's struggling to walk again. He's Steve's partner. He took his first steps. I can't tell if they are writing him off or if he's going to say. I hope he stays because the actor is quite charismatic.
    • Oh no!  Did you not like the Susan character? She intrigued me from that one episode I skimmed through. What didn't you like about her?
    • The eternal dream...him begging to get with her included. 
    • On the other hand, I still find episodes of TV with people smoking in front of babies shocks me into nervous giggles.
    • Word of advice... you have to view the show without the 2025 lenses.. which means you need to 86 the misandry.
    • i love reading other posters alternate takes and scenarios. Yours would have really upped the tension.
    • Amanda is not my cup of tea. That's all I'm gonna say. She's repetitive and childish. She acts like a brat with her parents and has this constant "I'm not satisfied or happy" look on her face. The actress is okay in my opinion. I'm not impressed by anything I've seen her do so far. But she's okay.  BUT Amanda's repetitive scenes with Sam are the ones that I want to fast-forward the most. They just have 2  topics they like to talk about... and it's always "You are infringing on my right to be a powerful career woman! I need to be outside dating men for a job, so I can WORK and prove I'M NOT A RICH GIRL ONLY!" and he's like "You and your family are buying me a career and I don't want it! I WANT TO BE ABLE TO STRUGGLE and be poor and you guys ARE denying me the opportunity by giving it all on a silver platter" This is their main storyline for me... and it's just annoying when it's the same every single episode. It's a fake struggle that I don't buy. These people are so spoiled by this point and have everything... don't make me suffer listening to them bicker how amazing their life is, so they are unhappy about that. Just a personal view. I'm not saying THIS IS the situation. My view is also restricted, since I'm only 4-5 months into the episodes. 
    • It's shocking to see Steffy look down on anyone. She was the new generation HO for years. I mean... she was nasty and using sex to seduce married-engaged-in-relationship-men all the time. She was embracing it fully. Bradley was accenting on the fact that Taylor's daughter had become Brooke 2. I remember how disgusting it was when she was using Hope's virginity to her advantage and offering to f-ck the guys that wanted Hope. It was ABSURDLY nasty.  Then couple of years ago Bradley decided we should forget about it and made Steffy BECOME her grandmother. IN AN INSTANT. There was no build up to it. Which aged the f-ck out the character and made her unbearable. Because it's one thing to see an actual matriarch, older woman doing these things, being a moral judge... but it's complete joke to see the ex-ho acting like this. Ex-ho that is still incredibly young and has no right acting like she is better that anyone or... a moral JUDGE. Steffy and Hope's personalities got swapped!!! That's the irony of it. So any time these gang-style of fans come attacking Hope... for acting like a "slut"... I pinch myself - their HEROINE Steffy was doing this HARCORE. Are these people oblivious or just pretending not to remember. How can you stan a moral judge... that attacks "sluts" and also stan the same type of behavior you are attacking... years ago. How does this happen. But I repeat myself at this point.  I agree with everything you said 100000 percent. It's the truth. At least in my eyes. 
    • The Amanda pregnancy was a blunder. Amanda and Sam were AW's best bet for a starcrossed supercouple. Young love destined to be turn apart by outside forces and misunderstandings . Battling for years to finally get together. Instead AW had them married and pregnant within a year.
