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.

Ok I gotta say I like Carolyn & Jeff and since they both made seperate inroads (with LOTS MORE to go) with Liz,  I hope we see them more, especially with the 60th coming in 2 months

    • 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.   
    • That's so funny, that's how I listen to Montecito - while walking my dog. I'll have to check out Forever & a Day.
