I still like Joss but I am royally chafed at her for her hypocrisy, not to mention lying & cheating. But whoever wrote that confrontation scene, I applaud because they really let William go to town & he has got the chops to run with it!! Joss, I figure at her age she can do some stupid things. But, she pressured Cam to try to get him to still be friends - NO WAY! And, she cried till she saw her tears had no impact & turned them off like a tap. Then she told Carly some "wisdom" about telling the truth when she's been living a lie for at least a month! Of course, Dex, I just don't like so I admit bias. 

Did you see this crazy picture of Drew in bed with Carly? What's he thinking, AJ? Jason? Me? Or maybe Why can't I wear white after Labor Day?

Absolutely. And he's hardly the same character but they were too lazy to give her a love interest without immediate connections to people in town. This guy is way too earnest and emotional to be the Jason 2.0 Drew was. @Vee is right, they should have let him keep the beard. At least he was interesting to look at.

Mmmmmmmmmm WOOF!!

 

Bearded Drew and Dante were a time to be alive (and Chase was bearded, too at that point).

 

Though tbf, who wasn't lusting after some Bearded Drew? At least he is still in the opening that way. lol.

Which is a shame because CM seem better suited for KM and/or RH...and had more chemistry with both if I remember correctly.

Same. I really loved those scenes. WL tore them (and her) up.

Oh, yeah, I couldn't believe his outcome!! Of course, with the Tribunal it was heavy duty guilt or innocence!!

And, he is so committed to taking a full college load at the same time that he's working AND he is so appreciative that the show will make that happen for him. Then, I have no idea where he finds time for his band, but he does.

Which was my idea as well to begin with, to bring on Dr. Sarah for him with Tognoni, but y'all don't need my fanfic again. Anyway, Drew has been through all of Jason's women, any revisit short of Sam (who he did have a somewhat unique relationship with) would just be a shadow of Jason, and Sam is burned out as a character at this point and should be written out.

I think part of the key to Drew is that ultimately he wasn't Jason 2.0 - Billy Miller couldn't play that - but he also was and is still such a blank slate, such an unwritten character that you could make him into anything Cameron was good at playing. The only throughlines to the character that are remotely unique or individualized are his devotion to Monica and the Qs and his past love for Sam and some of Jason's kids. Beyond that he could be anything GH wants him to be, and Cameron Mathison can play certain things well. What isn't great for him or the show is Drew being just a Jason-shaped widget of a character that Cameron grins his way through, just taking Jason's sloppy seconds with Carly. He started as nothing and continues as nothing.

Holy crap if I have to watch one more scene of Sasha talking to someone about how fücking sad she is I'm going to lose it. Characters that matter haven't grieved this much for this long. Like I get it, her husband and baby died. It's very tragic. I just do not care.

Carly and Drew worried about insider trading is a laughable obstacle for these two actual criminals.

Watching the actors playing Curtis and Curtis's father eyes glaze over as they recite this dull as dirt dialogue is torture. They sound so bored. I barely understand how they're all related but thank god Aunt Stella is here because those two plus RoboJordan are like watching paint dry.

When Heather left town in 83, she was Jason's Nanny and she took off cause Jeff told her that Steven Lars was sick. She was put together and had no affects from her 79 acid trip. So they rewrote that in 2004 and made it seem that the acid affected her ever snce 79. Not True.

    • the tweet linked to https://www.forbes.com/sites/marcberman1/2025/05/02/ruth-buzzi-dies-the-rowan--martin-laugh-in-star-was-88/ That Forbes account of Ruth Buzzi said she'd had Alzheimer's for 10 years? -- they are quoting her facebook as saying that. But her facebook says this: Ruth Buzzi  July 24, 1936 – May 1, 2025 Ruth Buzzi died peacefully in her sleep at home in Texas. She was in hospice care for several years with Alzheimer’s disease. Memorial arrangements by Lacy Funeral Home, Stephenville, Texas to be announced. Her family requests donating to Alzheimer’s research (www.alz.org) in lieu of flowers. https://www.facebook.com/RealRuthBuzzi/posts/pfbid031y2oHoqXMuMCSZg1RToxEVH37UZCvGmrp6JhGBQXoGCv3X6mwouwxATxHF5PtvTJl  But she was tweeting a couple of years ago...  There's more info on @slick jones page here https://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/55788-soap-hoppers-the-soap-actors-and-roles-thread/page/380/#comment-1869080 A few hours before her death was announced, her husband posted onto her facebook this: https://www.facebook.com/RealRuthBuzzi/posts/pfbid02hxSLCXSKM62DHE72RFXeY8s8M4PXeAcDJGkhfnTLKVNVpZqSYmAREpr7W7RgDhUzl This is Ruth Buzzi‘s husband writing on her page.  She asked me to thank all of you for being so good to her for so many years.  She wants you to know she probably had more fun doing those shows than you had watching them.    Because of health issues, she’s must withdraw from writing, but she will still be reading and enjoying your posts.   If you've met Ruthie and had a picture taken with her, please post it below.   If you have a great memory from her career that you enjoyed — a special comedy sketch, or a moment that made you laugh — share that with us. Ruthie loves you. --------------
    • Link to the official announcement on her Facebook account: https://www.facebook.com/100052018909496/posts/pfbid031y2oHoqXMuMCSZg1RToxEVH37UZCvGmrp6JhGBQXoGCv3X6mwouwxATxHF5PtvTJl/?app=fbl
    • 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.
    • Thanks so much for finding this & posting it. This makes me so angry!!!
    • 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
