They really don't have any romantic chemistry.  They really at best seem like good friends.  But mostly I cant invest in any of this because Sonny/Carly will go back to the default couple at the end of the day.

She is definitely a mix of Janice Dickinson and Julianna Marguiles. She looks good I’m still photos but in motion…yikes! 

I’m excited (but ready to be letdown) by the teen Cabin mayhem to come, but Esme back to trying to insinuate something between Cam and Trina months after this was first brought up, while Trina is inside flirting with her boyfriend is beyond dumb. Is she not getting psycho villain lessons from Ryan?

I'm enjoying the conversations.  Breakups are more than just one and yesterday, Carly hit some really good points.  She will not sit back and watch him nurse a broken heart.  If he needs time to get over Nina, it won't be while she's living with him.  Sonny should be taking time to figure this out but now he's off his meds.

My challenge is, not much else is happening.  Why hasn't Carly tossed Nina's sh!t out the hotel window?  This part is really lacking.

Whether or not Carly or Sonny are making valid points it's the same sh*t different day for them and has been for several years.  It's once again about Sonny and another women, being off his meds, and at the end of the story he'll realize Carly is the one true love of his life.  Although the premise with Mike/Nina is slightly different its almost the same back and forth crap they have done since the beginning of time.  I am not saying other couples on all soaps don't do this, but there is something about Carly/Sonny that has been stale for years.  The jason/Nina stuff could of went somewhere, but it went back to the most predictable place possible for them.

The Carly/Nina feud could be decent, but haven't we already seen Carly lose her mind over Sam, Brenda, Kate, Emily, Reese, Hannah, etc. etc.  Carly vaguely handily maturely is something different.

I'm back on 1-12 and I agree. I find so many layers going on. And this is what I was expecting when Sonny came back and MB has been really just Mike in a suit in how he plays Sonny. You cannot be gone for a long period of time, make these new connections, and then it would go back to normal. And I liked how slowly that has been made clear. And it's been nice to see Carly/Sonny deal with something so internal.

It's literally the same conversation pretty much verbatim every day. "Sonny you lied to me wahhhh." "Yeah well you didn't tell me about Jason." "But that was different." "Nina means nothing. I only lied because there was one crisis after another. Jason and Liam died. I was waiting for the right time. Come back home. Nothing needs to be different." "I need space." Blah blah BLAH.

It's so freaking boring.

    • Also, isn’t there supposed to be a storyline with Mariah and Tessa? Mariah cheating or something (keeping some kind of secret) and they were only on screen 2 and 3 times this month. Like what? How am I supposed to care when I barely see them? 
    • Definitely wouldn't trust Dinah right now haha.  But that's great to know Billy comes back soon!  I'm excited for that. If he's at the boardinghouse, then I guess he does get closer to Nola perhaps, and then he'll be around Peter/Bridget and J, who is currently in his orbit along with Michelle and Dahlia, and Marcus is at the boardinghouse, so maybe they go the teenage story route most of this time until Billy gets back.
    • Sounds like me, but I prefer to be referred to as Contessa. We all know I can go a long time not paying attention to certain things.  And, if I might add, hey there dude, you effed up pretty good this time and I think this was your last chance. So don't let the door hit you in your behind as you go BYE MOMMY!
    • That did cross my mind at first, but I'd be more inclined to believe it if this didn't involve Trump. I'm not at all sure he is capable of being that sneaky. Of course, there's always a possibility I guess that his advisors are doing it without telling him, but that seems awfully risky. Trump is such a loose cannon you can never predict what he's going to do or say.
    • Whoa. She should have fought like hell to get that. Was it the greatest show ever? No, but it had a fantastic cast and was practically guaranteed to last multiple seasons because of its star power. Could have certainly led to bigger and better things. If it had flopped she could have always gone back to soaps. Judith Light broke through on a sitcom where she was basically second banana to Tony Danza. That grew into a very busy and distinguished career. The woman is still regularly booked to this day.
    • I could understand her being frustrated by the fact that she'd been in the business 10+ years at that point, and probably couldn't even get in the door. But then again, she'd already gone out for pilot season once (that we know of) and she and  her agent knew a 35-ish woman had a very difficult time in Hollywood. I know she did a few guest spots, but other than Designing Women, nothing I saw--not even a Murder She Wrote, and that show had tons of ex-soapers on it. I mean, God bless Marilu Henner, but even having been on Taxi, she couldn't get arrested for years either.
    • I didn't rewatch that period, so I'm not really sure how much Bill is on. I recall something about him living at the boardinghouse. I think Van made Matt his guardian, and why she didn't name Josh would be a mystery to me, other than the HW decided they needed to keep Bill in Matt's sphere. Nola is also his aunt, although they don't know each other well, and Van wouldn't have trusted her anyway. There's Dinah---but she's unreliable. Billy gets out of jail around NYE.

    • That's on Kimmer. As someone posted above...she was offered roles in pilots but she would be part of an ensemble or supporting. She didn't want that so she came back to GL. I don't know what she thought would happen..someone offering her "Here's Kimmer!" or The "Zimmer Comedy Powerhouse Hour" variety show..but her housefrau fans did not have the same pull in HW as they did on the soaps. Forbes and Watros knew that you had to take small parts to get noticed ands start a career in primetime. I know she was in consideration for the wife in Evening Shade, but when you go up against Marilou Henner, the soap diva looses. I could see her frustrated in a role like that, where she has to be the understanding wife with a bit of sass, but she could have made it work, if it wasnt for her huge ego.  I think it would have been an issue haveing all the powerhouse comedy actors surrounding...(lets face it..Alice Ghostly woudl have wiped the floor with her...) but it would have been a good launching padd.
