Ahh, good to see Sonny and Dante chatting it up in the ABC parking lot.

[Contessa Donatella]

It's funny but I can actually stand it when Dante tries to talk to this new man whoever he is. Oh, right, we're going along to get along & calling him Sonny no matter how much we may feel he's some foreign creature. I dislike ALL of Sonny's scenes except when Dante is trying to reach him. And, I resent the time spent with Sonny & deadLenny and with Sonny & downhome new married advice to Brando! And, Brando likes this new guy. Go figure.

No chemistry.  Chase needs to be with someone hot.

[Contessa Donatella]

I think BLQ is hot. I can't evaluate them together because they write them so weird.

[Faulkner]

This show is zzzzzzzz. Slow as hell (yet with these lightning-quick scenes), dreary, with a lot of poorly defined, aimless characters and nothing that seems to link them together as a community. The show has no vibe, no heart, no humor.

SMH. Spencer was soo close. But Kevin is onto him. Ugh. But I continue to be enjoying the teens story with Cam and Spencer trying to get the goods on Esme. Now it's going to be crazy.

 

Ooooo at Valentin trying to drive that wedge between Ned and Michael/Drew. 

 

I do like that rather than run off half-cocked that Carly is playing her cards close to the vest by doing that DNA test. I would have just thought she would have gone off and gotten revenge. But...twists and turns.

 

Okay...now I think it's about time for a Liz reveal.

There are too many charachters with no purpose or story on the canvas

As some have said, I suppose they're going for Maryland era ATWT with a large community but it isn't working. 

[Faulkner]

Totally. I’ve been watching a lot of Marland-era ATWT lately, and you definitely see today’s GH attempt a similar vision, but it’s just so poorly executed and scattershot. ATWT could be slow and repetitive too, but the characters and their relationships are so beautifully drawn (and have space to breathe) that you live for their every interaction. Carly/Nina are no Margo/Barbara.

GH spends way too much time on fights and court trials to keep kids away from other relatives. It’s just ridiculous.

[Darn]

When I watch the show I'm just like "Who is this?" about so many people.

Alexis had a scene with a familiar character actor and a little girl in a park. I think he's Michael Easton's father. Why is his character's father even on the canvas? And who is that little girl's mother?

[Faulkner]

There are so many people and they are so bland and purposeless to be virtually indistinguishable. I just don’t know what they are aiming for. They are marking time and taking up space.

[Contessa Donatella]

Finn's father Gregory, Finn's little girl, Violet & I think the mother's name is Hayden.

[Darn]

They feel like filler. Days has a similar problem. The cast is so enormous and the stories start and stop so much that there's no sense of purpose or focus. They're just making sure they have 5 hours to fill each week.

Oh. I didn't realize Rebecca Budig was on long enough to have a whole ass child.
