It's not wrong to hope.  It would be wrong to believe because that would never happen.  Carly, Sonny, and Joss would survive the apocalypse. 

@titan1978floated Cam as the hook.  I haven't watched today's episode, but is that possible?

I had no idea that Michael and Willow weren't married lol.  I was wondering why he was proposing again.  I guess I forgot they got divorced and she pity married Chase.  I must have wiped that from my memory.

Tuesday's episode was such a roller coaster ride.  I was sad to see Britt leave, then happy when she was beating the hook killer, even happier when she came back to Liesl and decided stay in Port Charles, then sad to realize she got nicked by the poisoned hook and may die on that fainting cliffhanger. 

Kelly Thiebaud is so reminiscent of Kristian Alfonso, Vanessa Marcil, Lisa Peluso, Robin Strasser, Susan Lucci...you just can't have a good American soap without a beautiful, brunette central character straddling the line of heroine and anti-hero.  They better not kill off Britt!

The Nic, Spencer, Liz and Esme story is so fun.  I hope Esme feigns amnesia next!

I thought they were married too. It's a shame they haven't been during all of this drama. I like when characters are dealing with issues as a married couple. I also like longer marriages on soaps.

Is Britt actually leaving the show? I figured last week would be Kelly's last day or today that the hook would get her.

Kelly reminds me of none of those actresses lol.  She has none of any of those ladies' charisma or likability and I suspect Britt will just be a footnote in GH's history.  I do know a lot of people seem to share your opinion, but I just don't see myself and I have tried.   I must be missing something lol.

It's seems so silly to push Michael/Willow together and have them get married, then have them divorce, have her fake marry Chase, and then have Michael/Willow marry for real in a relative short period of time.  I guess it is just a way to stall for a big wedding later on or something.

I feel like Britt's exit story has been going on for eons now.  It has to be ending soon.  I feel like we heard about KT's departure 6 months ago.

If this is the real Hooker that has been revealed, then I am disappointed.

Regardless of whether on not one is a fan of the character, it was a disappointing ending for Brit, because it has nothing to do with the health concerns that have driven her story for months.

Not only is the person revealed a fairly peripheral character, but it doesn't logically make sense that someone of that age could pull off these very physical acts, have access to the resources, as well as have the knowledge about the types of coats that Esme owns.  I am mildly intrigued to hear the explanation of the motive for the crimes, but I am not amused.

Still sticking by that Heather is not the hook but wants to take suspicion off Esme

I can believe that Heather very easily could escape Spring Ridge but not Darkam were she was when the attacks began in Late August

 

I also feel that Heather is Maggie, Esme's Nanny. I can see Heather lying about who she was to the adoptive folks so she could have access to her daughter.

Did they explain clearly how Heather and Ryan Chamberlain got together? Those are scenes I'd like to see if there's a date and it's on Hulu.

She's done it before: The Taylors. They knew her, but they didn't know her connection to their son.

That's more of the aftermath of their first meeting which was this...the date is attached, but I'm not sure if it has hit that point of deletion on Hulu as of yet so apologies for the quality.

So Joss gets a second chance at life and the first thing she does is cheat on her boyfriend? Well, at least people understood when I said I hoped she got hooked. She really is GH’s Alex Kiriakis.

I hope Cam sticks around and is given a romantic interest that actually appreciates him and I hope he gets the chance to tell Joss what a selfish, ungrateful whore she is. 

Speaking of the hook, if it really does turn out to be Heather, that is a total letdown.

As for Esme, it appears that the GH writers once again didn’t understand the geography of NY. Do they not realize how cold it is, in the Great Lakes Region, in January?

Esme never would have made it to shore before the hypothermia killed her. 

And poor Britt, they can’t just let her leave Port Charles in peace?

I like Britt. They and KT really invested a lot in the character and gave her a lot of character traits and vulnerabilities that she didn’t have in her first few years. I imagine what she would have become if Ron Carlivati had remained at the helm

But it always seemed like someone interfered in her storyline. 3 guesses who?

Nah. Sweet Cam’s not the hook

And yeah, I totally forgot that Michael and Willow aren’t married either

    • Loved Valerie Mahaffey as crazy as a box of frogs Sandy Cooper on Wings. 2025 needs to chill out already. May Ms. Mahaffey rest in peace.
    • She was great on there. And Wings. And so many shows. I don't feel like we get those character actors as much now.
    • Cady did have a southern accent as Dixie in her first few years playing the character... but it started to minimize the longer she played the character (which tracks because my aunt had a heavy southern accent when married my uncle and years living in the north has softened it quite a bit). Her initial stint playing Rosanna was partly due to mirroring the previous actress and eventually developing her own take on the character. And the thing about her take as Kelly on Y & R was that she was too sedate when she first took over playing the role (she was supposed to play a woman that had recently lost her child.. and trying to keep things together) and then went OTT crazy and didn't play it well.    And I don't care to remember her attempt at playing Jennifer on Days. I think this Pamela character is the first time she's playing a character from the start and I think she's like a kid at a candy store.  She's having so much fun trying different things... and I hope eventually she decides to settle on a more consistent character for Pamela (perhaps her love of accents is a character trait based on something traumatic that happened to her in the past maybe).
    • That's sad. I remember her mostly from ER and the shortlived, yet very funny, sitcom The Powers That Be.
    • As always loved seeing Ric with Liz. I hope the show forever keeps them in each others orbit even if it’s just platonic. I’m sure she’s going to cut him out when she finds out he’s blackmailing Alexis though. So darn.
    • I have to be honest I’m really struggling with this show. I love everything with Eva/Leslie/Ted/Nicole/Kat and enjoy Dani and Bill’s shenanigans (I’m on the Hayley needs to be recast train now tho), Chelsea is second to Kat as my favorite Dupree grandkid and I loved her coming out to her mom. The show was on a truly great run with the big Leslie and Eva reveal at Nicole and Ted’s anniversary party and the fall out has still been good even with the unnecessary Ted recast and them making Leslie kind of dumb by exposing herself too much unnecessarily. The real problem for me started when they rotated back to way too damn much screen time for Derek/Ashley/Andre (if anyone should have been up first for a recast it was these three IMO). They tried way too hard to drum up drama between Ashley and Derek and the actors were clearly fighting for their mediocre charisma less acting lives to make it work but none of it landed, just horrible. Naomi and Jacob and this weird homeless woman story are also BORING. I can see where its potentially going but IDGAF at all, my only hope for them is that they’re building a triangle with Naomi/Jacob/Kat because Jacob and Kat have stronger chemistry together than their current love interests (Eva is the only one who can make the awful Tomas work). Martin, his secret and still cringe worthy acting got kind of interesting with Bill dropping hints to Smitty but they completely lost me with that lil fakeout scene at the country club. The lame “teenagers” (air quotes because Samantha is no Bianca Lawson and never beating the black Andrea Zuckerman allegations) can get off my screen as well. Joey creeping on Vanessa is grossing me out at this point, I actually quite like Vanessa and Doug now but Joey falls totally flat as a villain and someone we’re supposed to buy Vanessa being enamored with. I’m glad they’ve finally set up something interesting for Vernon and Anita to do with this girl band reunion instead of Anita wringing her hands and telling us she feels darkness coming and Vernon giving a civil rights speech every episode but yeah… People who’ve posted with me for other shows know I’m not one for fast forwarding or hate watching either, if I find a majority of a show is not working I usually just quit but because of what this show represents for me as a Black male soap fan I really want to stick it out. Its just become a challenge lately. I saw Guza has left the building and I REALLY hope we hear about some more BTS changes. The additions of Tracy Thompson and Jamie Giddens don’t exactly inspire a lot of confidence from me tho. Honestly praying hard for a new EP to replace JHC, a lot of the stuff that annoyed about her PC and AMC runs has started to match up here. I’m giving the show through the Summer to rectify some things but IDK how long I can hold on tbh. Its been a struggle to even finish some of these episodes lately.
    • I agree. I liked the episode but it felt jarring to suddenly return to a bunch of plots that had been put on pause since the Nurses' Ball started. Although I did like Laura popping in at the end to tell Alexis that millions of dollars have suddenly disappeared from Ace's trust fund. One set of scenes that made me feel optimistic for the next few months were between Sofia Mattsson and Rory Gibson. While Rory has been good as a darker, colder Michael this week, I was worried that he might not have much range. But he really warmed up with Mattsson, and I thought that (for the first time) Michael and Sasha had some genuine chemistry.
    • Next week is going to be such a sad time... I just feel it based on what was shown today. I'm wondering if the whole John being bandaged thing being a throwback to how he first arrived on the show was a Ron C idea since it just seems as though this would be something he would come up with.  If so, it's good that Cwikly/Ford are in charge with the implementing of the idea instead of him. Just a delayed thought from the Ciara scenes earlier in the week, or last week.. and how she had an odd way of dressing/acting.  I chuckle because little Ciara did say that she admired and wanted to be just like Kristen when she grew up.  So the fact that her outfit choices are so odd/off beat and her manner is a bit OTT just fits.. especially since Eileen's Kristen had an odd sense of fashion and that frantic OTT undertone to her delivery. With that said, a part of me wonders how Eileen's Kristen would have handled the scenes being done this week in regards to John's situation.   
    • My god the smirking was back in full force today. He almost started smiling after Johnny mentioned he wouldn’t be there if EJ hadn’t raped Sami. I will say I did like seeing him with Dee as they’ve always had great chemistry.    They really are giving a lot of false hope with John getting better. I wish they hadn’t done that. Monday is going to be devastating. I really liked all the characters mixing and mingling today.  Nu-Rachel is still too sweet for me. Loved all the flashbacks. Everyone looked so young. Really enjoyed Brady’s scenes with John today.
