I cannot abide Sonny as sticking himself into everyone's stuff in the name of giving them life advice! I won't see today's show for a few minutes yet. I'm not going to be glad to see Brando died. I'm the only person I know who likes him but I do.

I liked all those people about an 85 percentile a year ago & now I just want to be free from having to hear them yammer on.

I meant to say that the montage was excellent. That's something that is great when they get it right, so I appreciate that this time they did! I just dread so that Sasha HAS to go over the edge again. I don't see how she can take anymore.

I can't shake the feeling, that Brando's original intent was to be a spoiler for Sonny and Carly; with Carly starting an affair with him. 

So many storyline changes take place on the show, after setting things up on screen. It's so unorganized, one of the reasons I've tuned out recently. 

The show thinks we want to see Sasha and Willow on screen 24/7 being tortured, I just want them off my screen period.

Aside from their involvement with Cyrus’s story, everything to do with Curtis/Portia/Jordan has felt like “That Black Storyline” to me. Extremely phoned-in writing for characters they “have” to write for. It’s too bad because Donnell Turner and especially Brook Kerr are attractive, talented actors who should be nowhere near each other story-wise (zero chemistry) but are put together for obvious, superficial reasons. (They might thrive under different circumstances.) I won’t even go into the mess that is the character of Jordan.

Oh, goodness. I'm actually starting to watch this show. Should I watch?

 Right now, I'm kind of overwhelmed with all the characters and it seems like the last time I had General Hospital on, it was mainly served as background noise while doing computer work. I do recall a murder mystery though as it was revolving around the Quartermaine's or something? And now, there's another slasher giving off these I Know What You Did Last Summer vibes. But, I'm trying to give it a whirl. Which characters would I like?

I really think they do, too. Buuuuuuuuutttt... these stories(the divorce "mix-up" and Trina's paternity) do no one anything good. There could have been plenty of other storylines (Portia helping Curtis investigate Esme or anything else) that would showcase them.

Donnell Turner has great chemistry with most of the actors (all 14 million of them

). Lately, though, it seems like he's not feeling the storylines and it shows.

That's what this corner of the show has been since Jordan #1, who also was never a fleshed-out character despite poor Vinessa Antoine's talent - the sidelined 'Black storyline'. They do not invest in these adult characters or care about them at all, it is B/C-story material at best for thin characters designed to isolate them together while saying 'we write for Black people'. Most of them are worthless to me except Brook Kerr as Portia and poor Tags, I stopped caring about Curtis years ago and Turner seems checked out.

And as for the teens, as I've said there is a reason Spencer and Trina have yet to even kiss IMO.

I still want to know more about Jordan's involvement in the Jerome crime organization. That's how she came on. And it's a damn shame no one ever explored that. It's clear, from my point of view, they rushed in Jordan to fill the void of the exiting Sean Blakemore (ex-Shawn). Not complaining, though, because I like Tanisha Harper in the role of Jordan. But, yeah, seemed like a return without purpose. And, honestly, in her absence, they could have utilized John J. York's Mac a bit more as commissioner.

      I feel like the show has been like this for the past 15 or more years, IMO. Things happen but there are never or RARELY any long-term impacts. Instead, everything (characters, history) is just reset to what it was before. In a couple of months, Hope will be working at Forrester again. No one will ever mention the takeover. Brooke and Ridge will be back together for the millionth time, etc etc.  It's hard to get invested in a story when you know this is how the show works.

      Martin and Smitty's kids not being there seemed like a glaring omission. Also, Naomi and Jacob weren't there as well. I know some of this is probably budget, but it seems like there could be a way to still have them all there.

      Dani had a flashback of Dani getting ready for an event with Bill. The gown she wore in the flashback was light green and elegant and gorgeous. The light green flashback dress was quite different than the red/orange/lilac swirling print beaded gown that Dani is wearing to Nicole's anniversary party.   But there was clearly the show's intention to have the Dupree women (except for Nicole) wearing shades of red.   I love Anita but the red gown that she's wearing to the anniversary party -- not flattering.

      I think you can find them here https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/OLTL What's there is recaps from SOD at the times it shows which is usually from way back up till 2003. Most if not all of this is due to Matt Smith who you may recall from his AW playlists on YoutTube.

      Party wardrobe color theme: Good Queen Nicole is in a solid gold gown. The other Dupree women (plus Smitty) are wearing shades of red/pink (with purple accents) -- Anita, Dani, Chelsea, Kat, in dresses. -- Smitty in white shirt and maroon jacket. (did not see Naomi?) "The help" Eva and Mona are in black. Antagonist queen Leslie/Dana in a black/gold gown. The men (except for Smitty) are wearing black. Ted - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (Ted's jacket was shiny with back polka dots on black background) Vernon - black turtleneck, white dress shirt over it, black jacket (no tie). Andre - black T-shirt, gold chain, black jacket. Martin - black shirt, black tie, black jacket. Dr. Carlton Fitzgerald - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (did not see Jacob?) I didn't see Naomi and Jacob at the party, but perhaps they arrive later? The evening is not over yet.

      Tate seems to love throwing punches now

      I enjoyed his scenes with Johnny. Both of their perspectives make perfect sense to me and are completely relatable. There’s no right or wrong person in this situation and I like that. LH  does pretty well when Tate is angry too, but I also liked the way that he comforted Johnny in the end. Days is finally remembering that they’re cousins. And, Johnny looked hot in the beginning   Btw, Johnny going to work for Xander? That could be interesting. And, also can cause some more animosity between him and EJ.  And again, Marlena/Belle were great. Scenes like theirs really seem to be commonplace under Paula/Jeanne and I couldn’t be happier that they are. It’s helps us get a much better understanding of these characters and why they do the things that they do and feel the way that they feel. Marlena supporting Belle was a bit of surprise, considering her insane reaction when she walked in on EJ and Belle, but I also feel that it’s totally in character for her, both as a psychiatrist and as Belle’s mother.  As for Sophia and Amy… I miss the first Sophia lol but I can’t help but think that Amy suddenly being so nice is foreshadowing of something. Either that, or Paula/Jeanne aren’t biased against her

      @alwaysAMC Great mini-review as always.  That Gilly story is...certainly one I could not forget... I imagine a number of viewers were shocked with the temporary recast. It was revealed in the soap magazines, as was the news about Frank Beaty's breakdown, I think. I think Wolf had some statements or an interview at the time but very little. I wish someone could interview him. He did a good job under extremely tough circumstances.  For some reason I have a vague memory of him in the Marian getup but that's probably not right.  I'm glad you have appreciated the material with Susan after a shaky start. I always enjoyed her, and she was the only love interest I liked Nick with.
