So many are way overdue.

Meanwhile,

GENERAL HOSPITAL'S TOP 4 CHARACTERS I COULD DO WITHOUT...
How many more times do we need to hear Austin and Mason repeat the same scene? "Take care of the patient off-the-books" "No. I don't want to, You don't own me." Yawn. Ship both back to Pawtuck.
Poor Cameron had to walk into that tiny dorm room with Josslyn and Dex fresh from doing the deed. Sorry, Josslyn has been irrelevant to me since she dressed up like an ear of corn, but the character has become less and less rootable. Bring on Emma or Lila Rae for Cam and give Joss a rest. Eden McCoy does a decent job as Joss, but the character is insufferable.
As for Willow-- or Wallow, the character should have left with Dawn of Duh. All these months of Poor Wallow make me hope that Heather takes the hook to her when she gets cured.

Well I will say Sweeps are off to a great start. 

 

The vibe has definitely been that someone's hands have been tied up *cough*Frank*cough* and are letting the writers start to converge everything. There was so much going on, but it had momentum to it and a build and that's a GREAT sign going into February. 

 

As far as Mr. Huss for me, so far so good. At least Nikolas was not immediately killed off. Yet. And he seems fine to me though there was a strong vibe of last minute recast to his scenes with Esme and Tasha Yar. It did make his scenes as Nik a bit uneven. But he still gave a bit of the same feel he had when he sub last time...using MC's portrait of the character and mannerisms and the like. And he was definitely dressed like MC. I would like more what he had last time which was all of that along with a hint of menace that was reminiscent of RKK's Starvos, but let's see if it appears. 

 

So this week so far is giving all that Willow exposure that last week (and this week too) promo was saying would happen when there was very little of Willow storyline last week. Last week was all about the vets and it was great for it. This week...I just felt my eyes roll because outside of Nina calling it like she saw it and that gutwrenching sceam (great job, CW)...I was not feeling it. I take that back, the unexpected appearance of Harmony was good, too. Yes, I felt they played the beats, but I just don't care for Willow. And now that I'm thinking of it...shocking that Nina was not the bone marrow savior, but hey...the secret is out. 

 

Speaking of secrets...STELLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So they are going to go there with Trina's paternity. Since it has been a cold storyline for some long, I liked they did recap on it, and VW was great in doing that and it sounded so naturally and I was right there with her. I did feel Jordan looked a little toooo smug that Stella was figuring it out more or less on her own. So her hands are (somewhat) clean. I should have known that Jan 15 would land in February Sweeps...lol. 

 

I have been loving my Sprina scenes as much as I have been loving Spencer and Ava turning into quite the scheme team. 

 

Fingers crossed that with Tasha Yar back in town due to Liz being in possible trouble, that Jeff is heading back as well. 

 

So far, so good. We will see.

 

And yes, I miss (and enjoy all jokes) Joss as a Child of the Corn.

      GH: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By depboy · Posted

      I’ve been enjoying the pace the show has taken recently. Things don’t languish as long as they have and if they are drawing something out, like Gio’s adoption, it’s hasn’t been as excruciating. Also, my nosey nature would appreciate less interaction with posters I have on ignore so I don’t have to click on “options”.

      Okay...I'm just going to call it. Ambyr Michelle is the breakout star of this show with the young set hands down! There is no character like Eva that pulls my heart strings, and she's playing it perfectly. If Eva and Leslie are on, it's a good episode! If written properly, Eva and Kat's rivalry is one that could go on for YEARS. Of course, it's fun to speculate about who is really whom, but I could see them developing as frenemies after some time. They really need a guy to tussle over to amp it up. Tomas is pretty, but the actor has got to loosen up some in his scenes, I think. He is improving though. It would be good to introduce a new young man in that story for a foursome.  Martin and Smitty finally feel like a real couple to me, too. Hopefully, they locked them into four year contracts.

      I'll be that guy and say I don't think TMG is a fool. This is a popular contract role on a year-round soap opera for a woman of a certain age (to say nothing of a woman of color). If I'm her I pull a Kimberlin Brown and ride this til the wheels fall off.

      Tbf it's not unusual for a family when they are dealing with some bad news that changes a life to use song to give out hope.Especially black families. I personally had to deal with that very thing this weekend. Partly off putting, but at the same time, I did get the point and it gave me a bit of hope in the moment.      MM is definitely acting. But Smitty is just so passive. It could turn into quiet strength at some point, but for now...passive IMO.

      Edge of Night (EON) (No spoilers please)

      By j swift · Posted

      Am I remembering correctly that the Madison's lived in a Spanish revival-style house? I have a vague recollection of the fireplace looking especially Spanish in style. It is unusual that Montecello had so many architectural styles.  Obviously, that might occur IRL.  But, look at other east coast soaps and there is a definitive style that is throughout (because it was styled by a set decorator) regardless of the income of the occupants.

      Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

      By JoeCool · Posted

      @kalbir MSW was a powerhouse for CBS. Angela Lansbury was a superb actress. In 1985, TV viewers were tiring of the primetime soaps and the like. People wanted storytelling and MSW was great at that and had great guest stars. Storytelling -- an amazing and novel concept. CBS Daytime by 1985 was beating ABC so CBS was on the upswing.

      I'd say just the opposite - conflict means they will find out and then be at odds. For the limited amount of time people on this show have conflict (if they aren't named Nina or Ric, I guess).

      Totes mcgoats (aka I agree). But, now the character needs to move forward.  Clyde's exit was 12/11/24.  It is May.  She and Chad have been on one date. I don't think they've slept together. And she was only planning on sticking around for a year.

      That is one of the best insults I've heard in a long time.  I burst out laughing when Kat called Eva that.  LOL Their scenes, of course, were really good.  Colby and Ambyr have so much chemistry.  The only thing I'd change is Kat saying "you're dead to me."  That's a phrase usually said about someone you care about.  I would've preferred something like "You will never be my sister," or something similar to that.  Nice contrast at the end with both mothers/daughters:  Kat comforting/consoling her mother, and Eva being locked out by her mother.  Yeah, I wasn't a big of fan of the singing either, especially after your daughter's life has been destroyed.  What?  LOL And I also agree with those that thought Dana/Leslie's scenes with the Dupree's didn't feel right since Eva is not a Dupree....unless she is.  But as of right now, she's not.

      Trisha Mann-Grant, Ambyr Michelle, Sean Freeman are destined for bigger and better things. They need to move on as soon as their initial contracts are done.
