Awww...they been holding strong this week so I'm sorry to hear that.

 

Omg! Sprina is Sprina. And Vanna...lol...I still cannot believe how well that turned out given the year before I was a strong person against that pairing. But they redeemed Val so well that it made sense a year later.

Taylor Swift? I get that. She's a huge star worth billions. Brook Lynn is not. As a Quartermaine, she should be able to take down that scumbucket in about 10 minutes.

I never said these issues don't happen in real life. My point is that as played on GH, it's a joke. There's nothing realistic about any of it, including the guy grabbing her leg in a public place (apparently the only public place where Brook Lynn's catalog gets played).

A couple of thoughts on today's episode:

1. The whole BLQ scene seemed like a rerun of Friday's episode.  I know soaps like to repeat scenes so that viewers can keep up with the story, but I actually had to check the date to see if I wasn't watching the prior show.

2.  Liz exiting the scene with Finn to go to the wedding rehearsal was amusing.  First because it was like she was saying 'I am going to turn myself into the police, but first I must go to this rehearsal for a wedding that I'm not going to be able to attend if I'm arrested.'  And second, why are they still having the rehearsal an hour after Britt's memorial service?  Talk about day-to-night, how does one figure out what to wear for a day when they're going from work to a funeral to a wedding rehearsal?

3.  Laura still blames herself for not being around to raise to Nikolas?   He's been in Port Charles since 1996, 27 years, more than half his life.  She's had plenty of time to be a good influence since then...

I get that @j swift regarding Laura. I think she is just thinking if I never left the island. Its a in the moment thing. if she had done that then there would be lucky & Lu Lu and I doubt she would give them up .

 

Its just the sadness of it all for her

 

Thats why I hope Nik isnt dead. Maybe just injured.

Concussion for sure. Unbelievable headache. Gosh I hope he's not dead. Just watched it & My heart is still beating fast & loud! I literally gasped! Of course, he pushed her that far with the threat to Avery. 

Genie Francis rocked again today. Adam H is still doing fine. 

I am only disgusted with them putting Liz back into Finn's arms. Bah!

It's a debate for the ages. For what it's worth the creator of the gif said it's pronounced "Jif".

Monday's episode was good stuff (if you ignore everything involving Chase/Brook Lynn and Austin and his cousin). Genie is too damn good, her first scene with Spencer she was tempering barely concealed rage. The Laura deep inside her wanted to smack him so hard because she feels in her soul that she just said goodbye to her son. Honestly she elevates every scene she's in, and I will watch Laura do anything (now that Luke's gone this can be true all of the time for me).

Adam Huss and Maura West were dynamite as well, especially with him stepping into the climax of this story. I actually don't think MC could have played those scenes as well, he just doesn't have a range. I assume he was upset that Nik is (apparently? allegedly?) being killed off. Get over yourself. I don't want Nik to die but PLEASE.

Nik throwing Kiki's death in Ava's face and threatening to take Avery immediately got real dark real fast. And I completely understand why he went there, Ava has helped irreparably damaged his relationship with his adult son AND helped him (Spencer) to get custody of his unborn child. I'd be a little unhinged too.

WOW. Those Laura, Nikolas, and Spencer scenes. 

 

Unlike Y&R lackluster last week going into Sweeps, I did not feel that way with GH. Even at random storylines coming back into play like Ms. Wu and Gladys and this week Brooklyn, Chase, and Blaze story with Linc.

 

But those scenes. GF is always going to be on point. NC was great as Spencer laid the boom on Nikolas. And him (and last week I'll admit this prize went to RH) was looking good in that white buttoned down. AH is still doing great, continuing to embody MC's mannerism. I suspect that he will start doing his own spin once he unleashes that menace that he had on his last sub...which looking at that Friday cliffhanger I feel is coming. But watching him completely allowing Nik to break down was fascinating to watch. And I do like that he immediately had chemistry with Laura...something I didn't see with Liz this time around. But GF has it with everyone.

I really loved the scenes between Liz and Tasha Yar. I have made it no secret that I love Liz and those scenes were ABOUT HER. Okay, it was about her finding out what Nik did. But, given the history, seeing Liz and her mother come to some understanding or hint of a growing relationship warms my heart. 

 

Okay, I give them some credit. I did like the Joss/Dex scenes where she was talking about her feelings. Less propping and throwing people under the bus. It was just her saying how she felt. Mostly ignored it, but I noticed.

    • Yes, I am familiar with Fred Silverman. Agree, the 90 minute AW a very poor decision by Silverman. I think Silverman was behind the decision to go with Texas.
    • Thanks -- you're doing God's work The Gio reveal was everything I hoped for and more. GH got it right. Head to toe, GM is a stunning physical specimen.
    • I really wonder how they'll handle Netflix's usual long breaks between seasons. That girl is going to grow up fast... makes me wonder if this wouldn't have been a better fit for HBO Max considering they're leaning into a more broadcast style of production model with The Pitt.
    • I agree -- I didn't suspect Ted, either. I think a lot of people are giving themselves way too much credit in predicting Ted's problems

      And can I have a different take on Ted here? Yes, he's made a huge mistake with this Leslie debacle, and yes, he has to suffer and pay for it. But does that make Ted a terrible human being? I don't think it does. He made a horrific mistake over 2 decades ago, and as far as we know, he's been a good husband and father since. As far as we know, he hasn't strayed or violated his marriage since. He didn't know that he fathered another child, and thought he "removed" Leslie from his life. I won't blame Nicole if she doesn't forgive him, but I also won't blame her if she decides what they have and what they've had more than makes up for what he did. Ted is getting dragged far more than Bill is on these boards, and I think Bill is MUCH worse as a husband and father. How many times did he cheat on Dani during their marriage? How many times did he do vile things in his role as fixer? How much did he hurt his daughters by screwing their friend and marrying her? With Keith Robinson coming in as Ted, maybe we'll see a character change in direction and we'll discover that Ted has many flaws and always had a dark side. For now, though, I'm inclined to both be angry with Ted for hurting his family while also sympathizing with him. I know what you mean, but I do think that was intentional. So much was going on in that episode, and I think they decided not to let Nicole's reaction be lost in all that. Nicole will get those scenes that you're asking for.  
    • That was the original point of me sending you her 6 airdates, so now with those, and the link to the daily episode guide I've provided, that should help you more easily find the additional Ruth Buzzi scenes. I will always repeat myself when it comes to defending my data that I've taken decades to research and compile. But, as you pointed out in a recent post, I am kind, so at least I will do it with you in a kind way as opposed to the usual social media way most people do with just getting rude/nasty. That's not my style, as you correctly pointed out earlier this week, and never will be.  So, all is well!

    • Ambyr Michelle continues to be *that girl.* She’s just a star, period. Elevates every scene she’s in on the sheer strength of her emotional realism and charisma. Can sell any dialogue. I wish the show veered away from the B&B-style scripting. TMG/Leslie’s tirade stood out, I suppose, but she’s getting a bit mustache-twirly. And I wish DD had more to do in that episode than stand and sob.
    • Well, that was down to CBS being weak and not being willing to just pulling the plug entirely. They didn't want to commit to cancelling the show in case they needed it for their schedule basically; plus they kept showing that they were willing to make cuts if needed to be. 
    • I'm sorry but clearly what I've said is not satisfactory to you. I have now read what you have to say, twice. As it happens, my interest at this point is looking at other mislabeled files to find this other Ruth Buzzi content. I do not see any point to each of us repeating ourselves, so I will leave it here. 
    • It seemed to be your intent. coming into a thread I started and making multiple posts saying my data was wrong. In the next paragraph you say "Of course, I was suspicious from the very first instance where what I saw & heard did not agree with what it should have.  I'm very glad to know why." That certainly didn't stop you from immediately saying the data was wrong, until I provided additional receipts. Why did you not check the daily episode guide (for instance, this one for the 1980's) I posted for the world to see for exactly this reason...to help confirm airdates: http://daytimeroyaltyonline.com/days-daily-summaries-1980-1989-t15361.html? That is what you should be checking BEFORE you make any posts in the future like this, trying to suggest something from my data is incorrect. You could have also messaged me and asked me why your dates weren't adding up with what the correct data is. I would have fast forwarded through that video you posted, spotted Roman and Hope and immediately have told you that was the 11/1/83 episode.
    • Jason, just let me say that it was not my intent to any way impugn any of your data  or research. I'm very sorry if it came out that way. Obviously the person I got these 4 November episodes from has mislabeled files, multiples, which I was certainly unaware of.  When I am editing it is all about what I see & hear. Later, I find time for greater reflection.  Of course, I was suspicious from the very first instance where what I saw & heard did not agree with what it should have.  I'm very glad to know why.  If you find you are no longer interested in the edit, that is fine. I have no ego in this. I did it only to share it.
