So many strange moments with the writing/direction/acting on these episodes! 

Grace slapping Carter was just strange. She was sitting there, then stood up to give him a weak slap without any buildup, then sat down again.

And "heartbroken" Paris just sitting there with the exact same blank facial expression and tone of voice that she always has.

I love Sheila and Mike but it seemed like nobody could decide whether the scene when Finn flatlined was supposed to be dramatic or played for laughs. The dialogue could not have been meant to be taken seriously ("oh no, I killed him AGAIN!") and there was a strange lack of urgency when Sheila tried to restart Finn's heart (including Mike debating with Sheila whether or not to use the machine, like just leaving Finn there with no pulse might be a better treatment option...). And why did Finn flatline in the first place, only to be awake and lucid minutes later?

I'm sure it was some kind of marketing ploy. It's weird sometimes because when I'm on Twitter reading Tweets from imbeciles, I'll get these weird things of what's "trending". I think the same would imply for anything else because they want you "glued". Not that what is described above is actually from Twitter, but I do find the topics of King Mattress and Chicago Weather dumbly fascinating. Wow. Chicago Weather and King Mattress.

Trending displays to an individual based on one's own twitter and browser history.  It has nothing to do with what's *actually* trending.   In some cases it displays by location which isn't accurate either.
To get something (somewhat) more objective, you have to change your twitter profile settings.  something about unchecking all interests and topics or something. I don't do twitter myself, but I have family who do this.

Come on, Finn. 

 

Why didn't you at least try to fake not remembering anything? It's SHEILA. Le sigh.

 

That said...while I did miss the Quinn finds out the affair episode (is that in the vault btw), lord, that wedding was a trip. Or Quinn trying to get to the wedding. And I do find it funny that given it was Paris that exposed Carter and Quinn's affair...now she has egg on her face at this wedding. On one hand, it was nice to see Quinn being the right beat to play given all Carter has been up to this year. But still on the other hand, it is sad that Paris was basically a side piece. No wonder Grace slapped Carter. lol. 

 

I did like the Sheila/Mike montage. But I don't see how Sheila can even nurse Finn. Did Li leave any notes? She is going to have to bring someone in. Paging...Bridget...?

 

I've been enjoying the Katie pop-ups.

      GH: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      I don't think they had any idea who he was this time last year. I think they were keeping their options very open. Same with totally dropping the Trina romance that was spoiled for him in the mags once FV clearly took a shine to him. Frank's priorities are bright and blazing in one color. I do think Gio and Emma seem to have worked out given that she is very dry and sarcastic and he is like a hot golden retriever, but I'd still play the field or explore quads with both with very different people - Emma with a scheming young man (of color), Gio with possibly Trina or someone else, or even a boy. Then maybe put them back together, who knows. But of course none that will happen.

      He definitely got lost in the shuffle last year. First, they were implying that he was Drew’s son, then he was nothing more than just Violet’s bff

      And then they changed him to being Dante and Brook Lynn’s son, which was clunky at first but I’m enjoying the storyline now.

      GM is adorable, charming and fun onscreen despite months of nothing to do until recently, and has a bodacious bod. I'm not cosigning the show or this story - I haven't watched a full episode in over a month - but I think we're all taking the small victories in 2025 at this point. I'm open to testing this theory!

      Falcon Crest

      By te. · Posted

      I think Jason might've posted some numbers for the syndication a while ago and the numbers for Falcon Crest was horrible. Like 1.5 rating or something, which was terrible.    ETA: it was actually Paul Raven:   New to syndication 60 min Fall Guy 67 markets 3.1/8 Falcon Crest 110 markets 1.1/5 To get into the top 40, you needed a 4.6/9 rating for reference - and Falcon Crest managed to get into a lot of markets to begin with. In the fall of 1985 Dynasty, Dallas and Knots were syndicated (show / rating / share / coverage % / markets): Dallas 3.4 10 51.7 92 Dynasty 3.4 10 48.7 47  Knots Landing 3.3 10 12.5 20  So, Knots as an example trippled Falcon Crest's rating with 20 markets - I'm sure those were major ones but it just goes to show you how much Falcon Crest bombed in syndication.

      It's not bad but the stories move too slow. It's the same problem when Dan O'Connor was CO-HW with Van Etten, they have a million stories and they all drag on endlessly with no resolution. I'd argue the majority of the stories airing now are good but you get sick of waiting months for something to happen.

      Thanks. I must have missed that period entirely for Lifetime.

      Thanks. I know Marland did that type of thing sometimes but it's less likely with these characters. I don't even remember Alex ever mentioning him.
