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.

6-8

 

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.

    • I have my fingers crossed for a baby to be named Monica Michelle & called Monica. And, yes, I do realize that is not equal to having her onscreen but, like you said & of course a recast is unthinkable. 
    • I would love to have Monica on screen. Leslie Charleson has died. She played the role for 46 years. Monica should pass as well. No one is going to accept a long-term recast for Monica, no matter how great  the actress they could get.
    • Coming into June...   It just occurred to me that seeing Carter/Hope engaged that there was something missing. Oh, yeah! DAPHNE. I missed a few episodes, but she left, right? So is Ridge going to be the spoiler for Carter/Hope now? I felt that Daphne/Carter/Hope had more legs to it. But I guess we will see.   I did enjoy that show circling back around to Luna/Will/Electra. Katie was spitting nothing, but truth. Same for Sheila. And it's good to see Luna vs Electra, and they gave off more adversary chemistry this time around versus when they were at Deacon's.    I was happy to see Liam reduced to C plot.
    • To bring over from the May Sweeps Thread from @Chris B   I know the fashions have gotten mixed reviews but I actually like what the new costume designer is putting the cast in. It feels more modern and the more tacky pieces I feel make sense for rich people. They're buying for the brand and the price and we often see celebs in things like this. Especially for a character like Nikki, I feel the more over the top (and tacky), the more realistic it is.   I agree. While it has been hit and miss no question, I have found it fascinating to watch what the costume designer is attempting to do with the various characters and their clothes. Some have been overdue. Some have been fascinating. But (outside of Billy) not boring to watch. I definitely find it more modern as well.   My growing issue has been it's not good that the best reason to watch Y&R as of late has been to see what people are wearing rather than the writing. It feels like a red flag.
    • Haha. The fact that I stopped regularly viewing at the same time and know what you are talking about is chef's kiss.    I'm slowly bingewatching Nurse's Ball Week. But it's slow for me because a lot of the same tics and writing flaws for me that made me throw up my hands is still evident *cough*CVE*cough* Thankfully, there are some things I like also and from a glance in the GH May Thread, it seem like it had a good Sweeps with good fallout. And do I even need to mention Nina finally slapping the taste out of Carly's mouth? See? Regardless of her flaws, I do enjoy Korte-headed episodes over CVE-headed episodes because they always seem to have more emotional resonance to long-time fans.
    • And that charity does still get mentioned from time to time. I want to say the last time was some time this year, too. 
    • Oh, no. Vernon has definitely had his moments.   Choose silence anyone?
    • Search YT for Edwyn Sanchez, he posted an AI enhanced episode of ATWT and it is beautiful.   
    • That's so funny, that's how I listen to Montecito - while walking my dog. I'll have to check out Forever & a Day.
