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.

    • Bizarrely, while I didn't see it, I distinctly remember my younger sister telling me. We were walking to the store, and at the top of the hill she let out "Roger raped Holly", and I swear I remember it echoing for what seemed like forever. She would've been five at the time.  I know,,,which I find extraordinary. I have toyed with the idea of watching Another World for Maeve, Kathleen Widdoes and Beverlee. But watching Vanessa call Emma Snyder "momma" kinda weirded me out. LOL. I believe that's what I read in the recaps from the time as well. I meant, I couldn't quite believe that the audience wouldn't understand that a woman preparing to go to her engagement party  was raped. I know that on ATWT John raped Kim while they were married, resulting in Andy, but I think they shied away from calling that marital rape.
    • 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.
