I agree that my pessimism after the infuriating limp noodle rushed way they returned Sonny turned out not to be warranted (making that bungled week of crucial episodes even weirder) and I have mostly liked the fallout and how they have paced things quite smartly. 
Could have done without inserting Peter into the mix but they are doing just enough to make Sonny/Nina still feel viable while understanding they need to take their sweet time breaking up Sonny/Carly. 
I didn't even need Carly and Jason to sleep together if they didn't want to go there but I still think the return scene was ridiculously rushed and the way they handled the Carly/Jason part of the equation sucked a lot of potentially good drama out of it. Missed opportunity.
And while the Nina trial thing is ridiculous to anyone who knows anything about the law, knowing that smug Michael is headed for a serious fall when the bribe is revealed makes it worth it.
I am not engrossed by GH right now but this is easily the part where my ears perk up.

I have zero interest in Epiphany and Curtis's hat daddy. 

Lucy can't stop thinking about Martin's dick! I love it. 

The men were looking good in that yoga class. I love Brooklyn dreaming about Chase. I totally get it lol.

I love how they're trying to write Michael as tough. It's so funny. Duell isn't capable of doing anything but making that one constipated face. I hollered when Michael said, "Scott won't be fine once I'm done with him." What is Michael going to do, throw one of Wiley's blocks at him? Please.

Scott has been fantastic. I love watching the Corinthos family sh-t their pants in court. I'm not looking forward to Carly screeching, but I'm ready for the drama (hopefully we get drama).

Ken did such a wonderful job with such dreadful material.  The trial and political contribution line of questioning was horrendous.  But...the look on Carly's face and Sonny with the "who me" face left me in tears.  I was laughing and rewinding for a while.  I wish this had been a NYE party reveal so the town could see but we have to settle for the below par mess Frank offers.  Oh well.

The Michael is tough and has a temper thing has been going on for at least a decade.  DG's Michael seemed like a rage monkey, but once they cast Duell as Michael and kept him as a tough guy getting into fights it never worked.  CD has never been believable as scary or threatening.

I used to laugh in 2010 ish when Michael was getting into fights and on the verge of getting kicked out of school and telling us the kids in school were scared of him.  Young Chad looked like a hangdog puppy that needed a hug 99% of the time lol.   Spinelli seems more threatening than Duell's Michael.   I know CD has to pay for his multiple quickie divorces, but I think it's time to recast.  It would be lovely to find an actor who has chemistry with a single women on the cast.

    • Isn't that funny how certain memories as young children stick with you through life... Haha I totally get what you mean. That's how I felt with GL in the beginning, but then I got used to it. Seeing so many of my favorite AMC characters on GL was wild - Walker, Irizarry, Dusay, Budig, Aleksander, Gil Rogers, etc.  Ironically, it helps that Irizarry and Dusay played both mother/son in both shows. I know Marcy Walker was wasted on GL as Tangie, but selfishly I'm so glad she was. When she left GL and returned immediately to AMC as Liza Colby, man was it such a great storyline. The Tad/Dixie/Liza triangle was so emotional, tense and memorable. The AMC fans got lucky with that one. WRCW, Tad/Liza working together, the affair, then Jason Sheffield and the shooting on-set... all amazing stuff.   LOL! 
    • I remember thinking that he was fantastic after Reva's 1990 "death," with his grief and attempted relationship with Harley. I also remember the cute Marah, not the toothy chick from Halloweentown.
    • Totally agree - we have much to learn about Vernon, and I'd love to see it.
    • I've enjoyed Vernon but I wouldn't be opposed to learning more about his life beyond his political work. What kind of family does he come from? Does he have any siblings? I feel like that could be an interesting thing to look at.

    • I've always said, Robert Newman does not get enough credit for the popularity of Josh/Reva. Had he stayed in '91, and had years to build other relationships before Kim returned, I'm not sure we'd have been stuck with "always".
    • Bizarrely, while I didn't see it, I distinctly remember my younger sister telling me. We were walking to the store, and at the top of the hill she let out "Roger raped Holly", and I swear I remember it echoing for what seemed like forever. She would've been five at the time.  I know,,,which I find extraordinary. I have toyed with the idea of watching Another World for Maeve, Kathleen Widdoes and Beverlee. But watching Vanessa call Emma Snyder "momma" kinda weirded me out. LOL. I believe that's what I read in the recaps from the time as well. I meant, I couldn't quite believe that the audience wouldn't understand that a woman preparing to go to her engagement party  was raped. I know that on ATWT John raped Kim while they were married, resulting in Andy, but I think they shied away from calling that marital rape.
    • I have my fingers crossed for a baby to be named Monica Michelle & called Monica. And, yes, I do realize that is not equal to having her onscreen but, like you said & of course a recast is unthinkable. 
    • I would love to have Monica on screen. Leslie Charleson has died. She played the role for 46 years. Monica should pass as well. No one is going to accept a long-term recast for Monica, no matter how great  the actress they could get.
