Monday's episode of GH was nice, like a comforting quilt stitched with familiar faces.  Love how vital Laura & Martin-Tad, Kevin, Felicia & Mac, Kevin, Taggert, Anna, Alexis, etc. remain.  The Esme-Cassadine story is definitely the most compelling.  So glad they cast Victor with Charles Shaughnessy and brought back the Ryan Chamberlain character.

Okay, where did Spencer/Esme/Nik/Ava go? That story has vanished just to deal with Josh Kelly's character's appearance. Any early predictions on who he is? I was thinking another Holt, making him another Q.

 

That said...I did not see Dex working for Michael coming? Not sure how that is going to work out. If this was back when Michael disowned Sonny and took the Q name after AJ's death, I could see it. I don't know where it will go, but I hope it is messy.

 

Yeah, I do feel like the Trina trial is treading water. 

 

I love how Laura is part of Liz's storyline given her own history with mental illnesses. 

 

Sorry though...the show seems like it is back in setup mode with no momentum. Le sigh.

Do you know what drives me crazy?  If Carly was institutionalized, we would be seeing every stupid moment.  But Liz is there and it’s such a non-story currently.  Spread the wealth GH.

Also- I wish someone would dig out any other flashbacks than that scene with Bobbie and a Laura.  There has to be other scenes that survived showing them at odds back then.  Same with her wedding to Scotty.

Laura’s rebuttal was so generic.  They mentioned a soup kitchen for Christ’s sake. There is actual history that could be used but never is.

I hope so.  I would think they wanted to include her in this episode if they could.

The 15,000th episode was sweet.  Love that Laura is now the well-earned beating heart of General Hospital.  I'm not sure how she ended up with Kevin (last I saw him, he and Lucy were together on Port Charles 20 years ago before that show went crazy with the supernatural telenovela format- LOL), but it's a perfect pairing for this stage of her & his life.

I thought the Scott & Laura flashback was so sweet.  The actor playing Scott was so gorgeous in the '80s-- I can't believe Laura & the show's '80s audience would be rooting for Luke with his perm-fro and unconventional looks (not to mention a creepy rapist character) over Scott.  WTF?

The scene at the beauty parlor with Scott walking in to find 3 of his ex's plus Leisl was hilarious.  All 6 female characters at the beauty parlor are in solid pairings and they're all, coincidentally, in their 60s.  That's so rare on TV!

It was an ok episode. I loved the two classic flashbacks. The episode has an awkward feel to it. Or maybe it was just me. Normally we don't see this sense of community. So, seeing it in this episode felt fake. As did the annual soft ball game. Nonetheless it's always great to see the spotlight on Laura. Laura has a very sanitized view of Port Charles. When the part about rampant crime was mentioned, when the show started with her kissing up to Sonny.

      Good Morning, this is still funny to me but I totally enjoyed what makes up "DemetriKane" so unnecessary, who cares?!!! Glad you like the Emma Peel derivative story.

      Yes, they did.  I still have them.  I think there were three.  AMC and GH as well.

      DAYS: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      By AbcNbc247 · Posted

      A new day in Salem… and a new day for Days.  I like the way everybody found out and absorbed the news about John’s death, and how they all eventually found their way to Marlena’s to offer their condolences. I’m not particularly sure why they waited until the next day to tell everybody but I don’t really mind it.  We finally got Roman’s perspective! His scenes with Kayla were one of the best parts of today. I’m glad that Roman is thankful for everything that John did for his kids. I agree with posters who said that he should’ve had a scene like this with John, but I’m happy we got this at least.  Julie was used very well today too. She’s definitely the best person for Marlena to have scenes with at the moment. Hopefully, Julie continues to be there for her. And yes, I totally agree with Marlena and Belle sending EJ away when he came to the apartment. I’m curious to see what’s going to happen to his and Belle’s relationship in the aftermath of all this. And, while I enjoyed most of Brady and Kristen’s scenes, I still think the ship has sailed for them. Hopefully, the aftermath of John’s death causes Brady to finally end this thing with her once and for all.  And, I see a lot of people were wearing some kind of shade of purple today.

      DAYS: Current&Former actors live video tribute for Drake Hogestyn

      By Wendy · Posted

      Wow, I love that current and former actors are participating in this. I barely recognize Staci Greason! She looks fine, just very different. But I will be happy to hear anecdotes from her. I shipped RoJohn and Isabella hard back in the day, and I sobbed buckets in my dorm room at college when Izzy B passed. Honestly, I'm interested in everyone's stories. Drake seemed like he was well loved among the cast.

      BTG: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Alan · Posted

      When she first appeared, I was sure she was setting Tyrell up for a prank. She was too much of a manic pixie dream girl- I wasn't surprised Tyrell also became suspicious. Now I'm not so sure. If Jessica genuinely likes Tyrell, it seems like a missed opportunity to not have started her out as a bully, then we see her gradually catch feelings for Tyrell.  The McBrides are definitely the "C" family of BTG. They always get last priority. There have been a few times where the Doug/Vanessa/Joey characters reference off screen conversations which seem too important to not show us. Like when Doug thanked Joey for giving him extra time to pay off the loan. When did that happen? Or when we abruptly moved from Vanessa/Joey at Uptown to Vanessa/Doug in the hotel room. The McBrides don't even have their own set - even though Vanessa is a realtor. It's a shame because I am a fan of the characters and actors.

      I am also adjusting to KR as Ted but I feel that AM and MJ had way more chemistry as father and daughter than AM and KR. We saw Eva dream of having a real relationship with MJ's version of Ted for months so it's a bit of a bummer not to have that payoff with the original actor except for those scenes in MJ's last episode.  Something I noticed about Eva today is how she takes genuine delight in being a schemer. As badly as she wants to be a Richardson, she still has so much of her mom in her. It was jarring seeing her earnestly promise to steer clear of Leslie in her scene with Ted, then immediately switch attitudes when her mom showed up.  I'm very surprised with how quickly the accident story has been moving along. I was sure that it would be months if not years before people figured out it was Leslie on the motorcycle, not to mention responsible for the potassium overdose. I'm looking forward to seeing how MVJ and Guza avoid writing Leslie into a corner.  Finally, I have been loving the Articulettes story. Bonita Brisker was just the right amount of OTT - remember Sharon is supposed to be even more angry than Tracy is. If Sharon didn't come in swinging, people would say she fell flat. The way Sharon and Tracy describe the breakup is so Supremes-meet-Original Recipe Destiny's Child. I get the sense that MVJ is re-writing the Return to Love Tour as a roman a clef, and I love it. I'm looking forward to finding out what the secret they share is. If Dante Green is as shady as Berry Gordy was, it's something dark. If/when they go through with the reunion, I expect Dante to show up and claim to own the Articulettes trademark in a Lou Pearlman-esque twist.
