Literally the only soap opera that feels like a soap opera.

GH has had an excellent sweeps so far. As someone who hasn't watched consistently in a decade I'm surprisingly heavily invested. When Ryan showed up at Wyndemere last Thursday I was legitimately shocked, even though it was telegraphed in the episode I was like "oh shît".

Although the hook thing has been dragged out probably a bit too long and isn't the most compelling of mysteries (it's got to be Laura's deputy mayor, right? For all the killings that haven't been Heather anyway, the one in this promo IS Heather though), at least it's a story! It's something happening.

It's not Days where the only story they can seem to tell is people fake dying or B&B where Sheila runs around the entire cast like she's Bugs Bunny and they're Elmer Fudd or Y&R where you get to watch beige people watch beige paint dry in a beige house on a beige street in Beigetown, U.S.A.

I literally screamed out loud when it was Ryan at the door, even though he had just said, plain as day, "One more stop!" 

This is what I've been saying. Not with many people thinking I made sense, though!

Heather was trying to protect Esme by putting up a screen. She made two Hook attacks - Rory, who was just an opportune target at the wrong place, at the wrong time. And, then, she attacked Joss but ended up killing Britt. I was told that the reveal on the actual original Hook would be March. Can we possibly wait that long?!!!

Okay. I surrender. I talked to someone. Heather is going to be the one, the only, the original ... HOOK. Doesn't make sense. The writers just made it up as they went along. I'm disgusted. I want to take back every nice thing I have said about GH for the past 2 weeks.

Oh? Because I know me and @AbcNbc247 used to discuss Rory maybe back when it started.

 

Yeah, that was the impression I have always gotten as well with the Heather reveal after Britt and Joss were attacked. And the dialogue in the episodes following suggested that Heather was decoying for the real one to be sure people didn't think it was Esme.  And to date (i'm up to last Friday), it appeared that was still the case.

 

I also felt there was a reason why other characters kept mentioning it had been weeks since a Hook attack at some points. To set up the REAL reveal.

 

But it sounds like the writers are just going to stick to Heather as Hook which as I've said in the discussion thread is just too anticlimatic to me.

My impression had been this:
Esme *was* the hook at the beginning.  At some point Heather jumped in and took over (without Esme's knowledge).  Heather killed at least one person when Esme had an observable alibi, as a way to draw suspicion away from Esme.  Meanwhile Esme got pregnant and couldn't do it anymore anyhow.

I don't think Esme was ever the hook, but they'll have to account for who was hooking early on while Heather was still in the more restrictive mental health facility.  She has easily snuck in and out of this place, but hasn't it been determined to be less restrictive that where she was when she first reappeared?

The Hook started hooking when she attacked Ava on August 26th and Heather didn't reappear until October 28th.

I've crossed the Lt Mayor off of the list, as she's involved in the Anna haunting story, and I think that will be her exit plot.  And I think Rory was just a classic red herring and Esme is obviously who we are supposed to think is the killer.

I still think the key is the clue that the poison was from a South Seas reptile, and only a few people would have access to that...

      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.

      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

      @alwaysAMC Great mini-review as always.  That Gilly story is...certainly one I could not forget... I imagine a number of viewers were shocked with the temporary recast. It was revealed in the soap magazines, as was the news about Frank Beaty's breakdown, I think. I think Wolf had some statements or an interview at the time but very little. I wish someone could interview him. He did a good job under extremely tough circumstances.  For some reason I have a vague memory of him in the Marian getup but that's probably not right.  I'm glad you have appreciated the material with Susan after a shaky start. I always enjoyed her, and she was the only love interest I liked Nick with.
