The 1st February episode was Olivia & Ned's vow renewal. 
Kevin did not appear in that episode, and Laura explained it by saying Kevin had a patient.


There was scene spoiled in cable guides for 28 January "Sam and Scout cross with Drew."
And that scene is listed on ABC website for the episode description:
https://abc.com/shows/general-hospital/episode-guide/2022-01/28-general-hospital-12822
The scene did not air. The word is that it was never filmed due to Kelly Monaco absence.

Kelly Monaco returned as Sam McCall in 1st February episode.

Lindsay Hartley returns as temp Sam McCall in Feb 3rd episode "for a handful of episodes".

Was the KMo 28 January scene unfilmed because they did not have time to get the recast set up?


It seems that GH films whatever they need to film when it's time to film it, and if you are sick or unavailable, they cut your character from the episode, or replace you with a temp recast.

How did they get KMo for the 1st February episode?
Was the Ned&Olivia vow renewal episode filmed out of order from other episodes?

Per Lisa LoCicero Instagram, she was filming a movie in Montana for a few weeks in January.

It looks like it might actually be a satisfying day if Spencer finally admits he has feelings for her. I’m surprised they’re going through with sending him to prison but maybe he will discover Esme’s connection to Ryan there.

Today was pretty good soap. Those Sprina scenes were excellent and that almost kiss was just the right amount of longing and heat. Ava was fun and messy screwing with Esme’s head. Nikolas was completely useless. And Peter of course lives another day longer than he should. 

It looked like Maxie and Austin were still doing a Covid kiss but others have been straight up kissing. I wonder how they decide these things?

Spencer and Trina are so awesome! They have *it.* As much as I hated Esme showing up at the gallery and interrupting, it was hilarious watching Ava gleefully tell her where Spencer was.

They look like they belong on the cover of a romance novel!

This is the face of a man who knows he has a guaranteed job as long as he stays with LW. Embarrassing. Gosh, I wonder if Peter will escape?!

Maxie and Austin are SO bad together. This might be Roger Howarth's worst pairing ever. Who thought this would work? I don't know why they have these two fake kissing, but I won't even complain because there is absolutely no chemistry there and I have no desire to see a real kiss.

MC's Nik completely fades into the background in every scene he's in. I didn't even realize he was on today until the last segment or two. Talk about useless.

Can we keep Lindsay Hartley? This off-screen triangle with Drew/Sam/Dante is embarrassing. It's like they forgot they were supposed to be writing this and were just like, "shoot, I guess we'll throw in someone random lines about how Sam has totally been conflicted between these two guys." What? It was actually kind of nice to see Spinelli.

I really feel like they don't know what to do with Drew already and they just have him wandering around PC being a talk-to for everyone. And I like CM, but I feel like he's basically just playing himself in some of these scenes. They're not giving him much to work with - Drew has no personality. I'm not opposed to him and Britt though.

Count me in as enjoying Brooklyn and Chase. I think they've had an even slower burn than Sprina, but they're getting a lot of airtime right now so I bet they'll get their kiss first. Whenever they're on I just want to yell "KISS ALREADY!" at the TV.

Peter escaped and kidnapped the baby zzzzz. I'm stunned. 

They have got to find something else for Drew to do. They're writing him like a therapist or motivational speaker. It is so boring. Literally all he does is wander around PC listening to people talk about their feelings and problems and he encourages them. 

Lol at Sonny's outfit today.

    • Loved Valerie Mahaffey as crazy as a box of frogs Sandy Cooper on Wings. 2025 needs to chill out already. May Ms. Mahaffey rest in peace.
    • She was great on there. And Wings. And so many shows. I don't feel like we get those character actors as much now.
    • Cady did have a southern accent as Dixie in her first few years playing the character... but it started to minimize the longer she played the character (which tracks because my aunt had a heavy southern accent when married my uncle and years living in the north has softened it quite a bit). Her initial stint playing Rosanna was partly due to mirroring the previous actress and eventually developing her own take on the character. And the thing about her take as Kelly on Y & R was that she was too sedate when she first took over playing the role (she was supposed to play a woman that had recently lost her child.. and trying to keep things together) and then went OTT crazy and didn't play it well.    And I don't care to remember her attempt at playing Jennifer on Days. I think this Pamela character is the first time she's playing a character from the start and I think she's like a kid at a candy store.  She's having so much fun trying different things... and I hope eventually she decides to settle on a more consistent character for Pamela (perhaps her love of accents is a character trait based on something traumatic that happened to her in the past maybe).
    • That's sad. I remember her mostly from ER and the shortlived, yet very funny, sitcom The Powers That Be.
    • As always loved seeing Ric with Liz. I hope the show forever keeps them in each others orbit even if it’s just platonic. I’m sure she’s going to cut him out when she finds out he’s blackmailing Alexis though. So darn.
    • I have to be honest I’m really struggling with this show. I love everything with Eva/Leslie/Ted/Nicole/Kat and enjoy Dani and Bill’s shenanigans (I’m on the Hayley needs to be recast train now tho), Chelsea is second to Kat as my favorite Dupree grandkid and I loved her coming out to her mom. The show was on a truly great run with the big Leslie and Eva reveal at Nicole and Ted’s anniversary party and the fall out has still been good even with the unnecessary Ted recast and them making Leslie kind of dumb by exposing herself too much unnecessarily. The real problem for me started when they rotated back to way too damn much screen time for Derek/Ashley/Andre (if anyone should have been up first for a recast it was these three IMO). They tried way too hard to drum up drama between Ashley and Derek and the actors were clearly fighting for their mediocre charisma less acting lives to make it work but none of it landed, just horrible. Naomi and Jacob and this weird homeless woman story are also BORING. I can see where its potentially going but IDGAF at all, my only hope for them is that they’re building a triangle with Naomi/Jacob/Kat because Jacob and Kat have stronger chemistry together than their current love interests (Eva is the only one who can make the awful Tomas work). Martin, his secret and still cringe worthy acting got kind of interesting with Bill dropping hints to Smitty but they completely lost me with that lil fakeout scene at the country club. The lame “teenagers” (air quotes because Samantha is no Bianca Lawson and never beating the black Andrea Zuckerman allegations) can get off my screen as well. Joey creeping on Vanessa is grossing me out at this point, I actually quite like Vanessa and Doug now but Joey falls totally flat as a villain and someone we’re supposed to buy Vanessa being enamored with. I’m glad they’ve finally set up something interesting for Vernon and Anita to do with this girl band reunion instead of Anita wringing her hands and telling us she feels darkness coming and Vernon giving a civil rights speech every episode but yeah… People who’ve posted with me for other shows know I’m not one for fast forwarding or hate watching either, if I find a majority of a show is not working I usually just quit but because of what this show represents for me as a Black male soap fan I really want to stick it out. Its just become a challenge lately. I saw Guza has left the building and I REALLY hope we hear about some more BTS changes. The additions of Tracy Thompson and Jamie Giddens don’t exactly inspire a lot of confidence from me tho. Honestly praying hard for a new EP to replace JHC, a lot of the stuff that annoyed about her PC and AMC runs has started to match up here. I’m giving the show through the Summer to rectify some things but IDK how long I can hold on tbh. Its been a struggle to even finish some of these episodes lately.
    • I agree. I liked the episode but it felt jarring to suddenly return to a bunch of plots that had been put on pause since the Nurses' Ball started. Although I did like Laura popping in at the end to tell Alexis that millions of dollars have suddenly disappeared from Ace's trust fund. One set of scenes that made me feel optimistic for the next few months were between Sofia Mattsson and Rory Gibson. While Rory has been good as a darker, colder Michael this week, I was worried that he might not have much range. But he really warmed up with Mattsson, and I thought that (for the first time) Michael and Sasha had some genuine chemistry.
    • Next week is going to be such a sad time... I just feel it based on what was shown today. I'm wondering if the whole John being bandaged thing being a throwback to how he first arrived on the show was a Ron C idea since it just seems as though this would be something he would come up with.  If so, it's good that Cwikly/Ford are in charge with the implementing of the idea instead of him. Just a delayed thought from the Ciara scenes earlier in the week, or last week.. and how she had an odd way of dressing/acting.  I chuckle because little Ciara did say that she admired and wanted to be just like Kristen when she grew up.  So the fact that her outfit choices are so odd/off beat and her manner is a bit OTT just fits.. especially since Eileen's Kristen had an odd sense of fashion and that frantic OTT undertone to her delivery. With that said, a part of me wonders how Eileen's Kristen would have handled the scenes being done this week in regards to John's situation.   
    • My god the smirking was back in full force today. He almost started smiling after Johnny mentioned he wouldn’t be there if EJ hadn’t raped Sami. I will say I did like seeing him with Dee as they’ve always had great chemistry.    They really are giving a lot of false hope with John getting better. I wish they hadn’t done that. Monday is going to be devastating. I really liked all the characters mixing and mingling today.  Nu-Rachel is still too sweet for me. Loved all the flashbacks. Everyone looked so young. Really enjoyed Brady’s scenes with John today.
