Well, it's great to hear that this great momentum that GH has snatched up with Louise's kidnapping WILL have a climax. Hopefully they planned it out right.

 

Right now, I'm near the end of the 2-11. And I am liking it. 

 

The fact that Maxie was taken by Peter the episode before and it does not appear jarring that the writers switched gears, ignoring the cliffhanger with only references, is kinda ballsy. But still it is not interrupting the rhythm at all is great writing. Good for them they have several balls in the air so they can just switch to that, too.

 

LOL at Trina side-eyeing her parents for their VD dinner which is only making Trina think she's dealing with Single Awareness Day. 

 

Heeeeeeeeeeeelllllllllo, Chet!!!

 

I am starting to wonder if the person hating on Liz and Finn is either Aidan or Jake. But would the writers do that?

 

I am LIVING for Ava's reaction to Nina/Sonny/Carly blowup. And she definitely knows how to play them. Speaking of Carly, does she have any female friends because her scene with Sam was actually odd. Meanwhile, her talking to Drew has gotten VERY repetitive. 

 

And Terry's date is...

Am I the only one here who doesn't see Nina as going through some mental break, or am I being gaslit by the CarSon fans? They seem to be doing these mental gymnastics to analyze her behaviour as her being on the brink of insanity (i.e. creating a fantasy with an amnesiac man, grooming/manipulating Willow, etc.) when she hasn't gone through that type of breakdown since 2014-15.

What I see is a simply a woman (and a grieving one at that) who ended up in a complicated situation and just makes one questionable choice after another. I also see it as karmic justice for Carly after the way she handled the Nelle situation with Jax.

Well, just speaking for myself, I felt like the writers were going with Ninata having a mental break after Nelle's death before Nixon Falls but the chemistry between CW and MB and the direction of the story gave the potential for that (cuz CW pays great crazy) gave the story a good shift. 

 

I definitely do not see her as a woman on a verge of a breakdown now. So like you, I would say she is a woman in a complicated situation.

Yeah they've been amicable for a while but having deep and meaningfuls seems a bit too much.

Carly's closest female friend would probably be Olivia - which is somewhat strange in itself because Carly usually tends to feel threatened by Sonny's exes. As far as I remember Carly and Olivia haven't ever really fallen out in the 13 years Olivia has been around. I think their friendship started because of a mutual hatred of Claudia lol.

Thank you!  Yours is the first reply I received. 

I had only recently begun observing the patterns of the guest credits and noticed they had only one slide of guest credits, but I thought to myself that I must be mistaken, that it can't be that lame.  But I guess they are that lame, LOL.  I know you do the stats every month, so you would know the answer and I believe you.  I just think it's sad that they are too lazy to credit people who work so hard.

Guest credits Friday Feb 4, 2022: 
(for the week of Jan. 31 - Feb. 4):

Guests were listed in this order: James Patrick Stuart, Lexi Ainsworth, Jon Lindstrom, Sydney Mikayla, John York, Bradford Anderson, Wally Kurth.

Omitted from guest credits Friday Feb. 4: (I'll list them in alpha order): Leslie Charleson, Jane Elliot, Kathleen Gati, Robert Gossett, Joyce Guy, Lindsay Hartley, William Lipton, Lisa LoCicero, Wes Ramsey, Parry Shen, Vernee Watson.
Children who appeared and had lines but were omitted from credits:
Easton Rocket Sweda (Leo), and Isaiah Dell (temp Leo).

Bailey Louise is driving plot and her actors (twins Jett and London Prinzo-Berendt)  have great facial expressions, but they don't have full lines, so I guess they wouldn't be credited?  (I think B&B is the only soap that credits babies in the closing credits?)

(I didn't write down if there were henchmen, guards, waiters, etc. who had lines, so I don't know who should have been credited. Nor did I note if any of the lesser nurses had lines.)

It upset me that Jane Elliot was not listed in the credits. Srsly?

I heard that James Patrick Stuart is always listed first in the guest credits. Is that still true? Because he was listed, but I don't think he appeared that week. Valentin was in the trunk of the car all week, right? I don't even think he was shown, was he? Was he in a flashback that I missed?

My three questions:
JPS, is he still recurring, and if so, why was he credited on Feb. 4?
How do they determine which 7 actors are listed in the single slide of non-contract actors?
Does GH usually credit child actors?

    • I feel like the show has been like this for the past 15 or more years, IMO. Things happen but there are never or RARELY any long-term impacts. Instead, everything (characters, history) is just reset to what it was before. In a couple of months, Hope will be working at Forrester again. No one will ever mention the takeover. Brooke and Ridge will be back together for the millionth time, etc etc.  It's hard to get invested in a story when you know this is how the show works.
    • Martin and Smitty's kids not being there seemed like a glaring omission. Also, Naomi and Jacob weren't there as well. I know some of this is probably budget, but it seems like there could be a way to still have them all there.
    • Thanks so much for finding this & posting it. This makes me so angry!!!
    • Dani had a flashback of Dani getting ready for an event with Bill. The gown she wore in the flashback was light green and elegant and gorgeous. The light green flashback dress was quite different than the red/orange/lilac swirling print beaded gown that Dani is wearing to Nicole's anniversary party.   But there was clearly the show's intention to have the Dupree women (except for Nicole) wearing shades of red.   I love Anita but the red gown that she's wearing to the anniversary party -- not flattering.
    • I think you can find them here https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/OLTL What's there is recaps from SOD at the times it shows which is usually from way back up till 2003. Most if not all of this is due to Matt Smith who you may recall from his AW playlists on YoutTube. 
    • Party wardrobe color theme: Good Queen Nicole is in a solid gold gown. The other Dupree women (plus Smitty) are wearing shades of red/pink (with purple accents) -- Anita, Dani, Chelsea, Kat, in dresses. -- Smitty in white shirt and maroon jacket. (did not see Naomi?) "The help" Eva and Mona are in black. Antagonist queen Leslie/Dana in a black/gold gown. The men (except for Smitty) are wearing black. Ted - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (Ted's jacket was shiny with back polka dots on black background) Vernon - black turtleneck, white dress shirt over it, black jacket (no tie). Andre - black T-shirt, gold chain, black jacket. Martin - black shirt, black tie, black jacket. Dr. Carlton Fitzgerald - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (did not see Jacob?) I didn't see Naomi and Jacob at the party, but perhaps they arrive later? The evening is not over yet.
    • Tate seems to love throwing punches now

      I enjoyed his scenes with Johnny. Both of their perspectives make perfect sense to me and are completely relatable. There’s no right or wrong person in this situation and I like that. LH  does pretty well when Tate is angry too, but I also liked the way that he comforted Johnny in the end. Days is finally remembering that they’re cousins. And, Johnny looked hot in the beginning   Btw, Johnny going to work for Xander? That could be interesting. And, also can cause some more animosity between him and EJ.  And again, Marlena/Belle were great. Scenes like theirs really seem to be commonplace under Paula/Jeanne and I couldn’t be happier that they are. It’s helps us get a much better understanding of these characters and why they do the things that they do and feel the way that they feel. Marlena supporting Belle was a bit of surprise, considering her insane reaction when she walked in on EJ and Belle, but I also feel that it’s totally in character for her, both as a psychiatrist and as Belle’s mother.  As for Sophia and Amy… I miss the first Sophia lol but I can’t help but think that Amy suddenly being so nice is foreshadowing of something. Either that, or Paula/Jeanne aren’t biased against her
    • @alwaysAMC Great mini-review as always.  That Gilly story is...certainly one I could not forget... I imagine a number of viewers were shocked with the temporary recast. It was revealed in the soap magazines, as was the news about Frank Beaty's breakdown, I think. I think Wolf had some statements or an interview at the time but very little. I wish someone could interview him. He did a good job under extremely tough circumstances.  For some reason I have a vague memory of him in the Marian getup but that's probably not right.  I'm glad you have appreciated the material with Susan after a shaky start. I always enjoyed her, and she was the only love interest I liked Nick with. 
    • How did this come to be?
