Chase is hot but like an overgrown child. I've never seen the purpose.

I've talked about this before but the twenty/thirtysomething set alternately behaves like 14 year olds or 60 year olds. It's bizarre. BLQ, etc. should be more fun than this.

Let Dex toss her away like trash. It would be exactly what she deserves

No one in the 20/30 set is any fun. Nobody goes to the club or bar and hang out, drink and party. Ani't noone being messy, scheming. It's just all babies all the time it's like all they can write. My fav it's stuck with one kid too many & they don't bother to show them unless it's some plot point [!@#$%^&*]. I wish she can go back to scheming and messiness 

It's like they decided everyone needed babies and couldn't do [!@#$%^&*] anymore but birth children. It's really insulting that they just see them as anchors to pop out babies.

Friday's episode was nice in so many small, sweet ways (much like baby "Ace" Cassadine in his Great Great Grand Uncle Victor's arms).  Laura & Victor's interaction was so well acted.  Diane coming in with that ending cliffhanger was perfect.  Can't wait for Monday's episode!

Laura, Anna & Felicia playing a Scooby-Doo-style haunting of the Deputy Mayor was funny.  Love how Felicia & Maxie have that humor part in common characteristics.  They should do more comedic stuff with Maxie if she's going to stay on the show.

Sasha is so much better now without Blando (but still keep Gladys!).  The actress is so conventionally pretty, if they pair her with Cody, they might be too beautiful a couple.  I guess they're setting up a quad romantic entanglement with Cody, Sasha, Chase and Brooklyn.

The Davis sisters all getting together was nice.  Dante & Sam make a nice blended family.  I'll never understand what her "domestic partnership" obsession is, but Molly being in a 10 year relationship with Dr. TJ and being a district attorney is so great!  The actress has grown up gorgeously...I can't wait till a hotshot new Lothario lawyer comes to Port Charles and rocks Molly & TJ's blissful soap world, in the court room and bedroom.

3-1

 

Daaaaarn. I was so hoping that Liz would have a devious killer in her corner. Cuz it looked like she was going to need it. But alas. lol. That said...KG was acting her butt off. And I felt her hurt, pain, AND wrath on her face when she cornered Scotty in that office. 

 

Speaking of darn (again)...I knew Willow was not going to die, but had them fingers crossed. I do like that they faked out that phone call. If this was RC (or Lucky Gold writing), I was expecting stall, stall, more stall...and then we would have a drag out on the reveal that Dr. O was a match. So happy that was not the case. I was hoping that Willow would be at Death's door though....along with the shipment story going down...so Michael could be in a position to lose EVERYTHING.

 

Speaking of the shipment storyline, that Sonny/Dex scene was PAINFUL. 

 

And that ending...yes! So...where do they go from here? Stick with the recast or is someone coming back to their role? Hmmm. And now that it's tied into Austin's storyline...WHO is the person he's working for...or used to. Cuz at this point, it's been rewritten so much IDK.

 

Uh oh...I liked the beginning of the week was a breather, but it does feel like momentum is dropping.

 

And...when was the last time we saw Kristina. Seeing Molly made me wonder.

The whole plot is beyond stupid but Felicia slowly taking off the dead makeup throughout the episode was pretty funny.

Does anyone else feel the awkward pause while Kelly Monaco's castmates wait for her to finish her lines? What is going on with her?

Dante and Sam even discussing the possibility of another child is ridiculous with them in their mid-40s raising 4 kids. Kids we never see.

Molly's possible pregnancy is not a storyline and this show does not need any more goddamn babies. I find the whole idea that Molly and TJ, who have inexplicably been together for a decade despite both still being children, are in a domestic partnership. It's giving Loving V. Virginia. Very suspicious.

Speaking of interracial relationships, Spencer and Trina haven't had a scene together in 2 weeks and ya boy is thirsty.

I don't think I can handle another episode of Brook Lynn talking about her feelings for Chase. Or his feelings for her. They write them like they're 22, not the 40 year olds they are.

And Depression Central Sasha needs to be offscreen until she has something to do, I'm sick of hearing about her grief. No one cares.

He's 30! And Setton does not look or come off her age. But I agree they write their younger cast (which includes those two) like either very young teens or old people.

LOL at old Benjamin Franklin Gregory not even having a job at the university! I called it. Just an old salaryman going to the train station and sitting there all day.

Kelly Monaco has always had strange diction and been very mumbly to me.  I don't notice that much difference.  I just think some days KeMo knows her lines better than other days lol.

I think Sam and Dante are supposed to be younger than mid 40's.  I remember the show giving Sam a birthdate that was way too young for her when Alexis found out Sam was her daughter.  Your point is very valid though.  They don't need more kids at all.   I know Sam's broken baby maker was fixed, but is it fixed enough for her to have a pregnancy over 40?  It feels similar to Carly and Sonny having Donna to....do nothing and bring zero drama to the show.

Who was the cop guy who recently got clobbered by the hook killer? Trina seemed devastated at that time. Was it her best friend? I guess I'm a little confused with her and Spencer.

Oh, okay. Rory Cabrera must've been not that important then. Actually, Sasha doesn't seem to be doing that bad either after what's his face? Brando. They're all moving along nicely besides Sasha telling Heather she and Brando had cherry pie.

    • Loved Valerie Mahaffey as crazy as a box of frogs Sandy Cooper on Wings. 2025 needs to chill out already. May Ms. Mahaffey rest in peace.
    • She was great on there. And Wings. And so many shows. I don't feel like we get those character actors as much now.
    • Cady did have a southern accent as Dixie in her first few years playing the character... but it started to minimize the longer she played the character (which tracks because my aunt had a heavy southern accent when married my uncle and years living in the north has softened it quite a bit). Her initial stint playing Rosanna was partly due to mirroring the previous actress and eventually developing her own take on the character. And the thing about her take as Kelly on Y & R was that she was too sedate when she first took over playing the role (she was supposed to play a woman that had recently lost her child.. and trying to keep things together) and then went OTT crazy and didn't play it well.    And I don't care to remember her attempt at playing Jennifer on Days. I think this Pamela character is the first time she's playing a character from the start and I think she's like a kid at a candy store.  She's having so much fun trying different things... and I hope eventually she decides to settle on a more consistent character for Pamela (perhaps her love of accents is a character trait based on something traumatic that happened to her in the past maybe).
    • That's sad. I remember her mostly from ER and the shortlived, yet very funny, sitcom The Powers That Be.
    • As always loved seeing Ric with Liz. I hope the show forever keeps them in each others orbit even if it’s just platonic. I’m sure she’s going to cut him out when she finds out he’s blackmailing Alexis though. So darn.
    • I have to be honest I’m really struggling with this show. I love everything with Eva/Leslie/Ted/Nicole/Kat and enjoy Dani and Bill’s shenanigans (I’m on the Hayley needs to be recast train now tho), Chelsea is second to Kat as my favorite Dupree grandkid and I loved her coming out to her mom. The show was on a truly great run with the big Leslie and Eva reveal at Nicole and Ted’s anniversary party and the fall out has still been good even with the unnecessary Ted recast and them making Leslie kind of dumb by exposing herself too much unnecessarily. The real problem for me started when they rotated back to way too damn much screen time for Derek/Ashley/Andre (if anyone should have been up first for a recast it was these three IMO). They tried way too hard to drum up drama between Ashley and Derek and the actors were clearly fighting for their mediocre charisma less acting lives to make it work but none of it landed, just horrible. Naomi and Jacob and this weird homeless woman story are also BORING. I can see where its potentially going but IDGAF at all, my only hope for them is that they’re building a triangle with Naomi/Jacob/Kat because Jacob and Kat have stronger chemistry together than their current love interests (Eva is the only one who can make the awful Tomas work). Martin, his secret and still cringe worthy acting got kind of interesting with Bill dropping hints to Smitty but they completely lost me with that lil fakeout scene at the country club. The lame “teenagers” (air quotes because Samantha is no Bianca Lawson and never beating the black Andrea Zuckerman allegations) can get off my screen as well. Joey creeping on Vanessa is grossing me out at this point, I actually quite like Vanessa and Doug now but Joey falls totally flat as a villain and someone we’re supposed to buy Vanessa being enamored with. I’m glad they’ve finally set up something interesting for Vernon and Anita to do with this girl band reunion instead of Anita wringing her hands and telling us she feels darkness coming and Vernon giving a civil rights speech every episode but yeah… People who’ve posted with me for other shows know I’m not one for fast forwarding or hate watching either, if I find a majority of a show is not working I usually just quit but because of what this show represents for me as a Black male soap fan I really want to stick it out. Its just become a challenge lately. I saw Guza has left the building and I REALLY hope we hear about some more BTS changes. The additions of Tracy Thompson and Jamie Giddens don’t exactly inspire a lot of confidence from me tho. Honestly praying hard for a new EP to replace JHC, a lot of the stuff that annoyed about her PC and AMC runs has started to match up here. I’m giving the show through the Summer to rectify some things but IDK how long I can hold on tbh. Its been a struggle to even finish some of these episodes lately.
    • I agree. I liked the episode but it felt jarring to suddenly return to a bunch of plots that had been put on pause since the Nurses' Ball started. Although I did like Laura popping in at the end to tell Alexis that millions of dollars have suddenly disappeared from Ace's trust fund. One set of scenes that made me feel optimistic for the next few months were between Sofia Mattsson and Rory Gibson. While Rory has been good as a darker, colder Michael this week, I was worried that he might not have much range. But he really warmed up with Mattsson, and I thought that (for the first time) Michael and Sasha had some genuine chemistry.
    • Next week is going to be such a sad time... I just feel it based on what was shown today. I'm wondering if the whole John being bandaged thing being a throwback to how he first arrived on the show was a Ron C idea since it just seems as though this would be something he would come up with.  If so, it's good that Cwikly/Ford are in charge with the implementing of the idea instead of him. Just a delayed thought from the Ciara scenes earlier in the week, or last week.. and how she had an odd way of dressing/acting.  I chuckle because little Ciara did say that she admired and wanted to be just like Kristen when she grew up.  So the fact that her outfit choices are so odd/off beat and her manner is a bit OTT just fits.. especially since Eileen's Kristen had an odd sense of fashion and that frantic OTT undertone to her delivery. With that said, a part of me wonders how Eileen's Kristen would have handled the scenes being done this week in regards to John's situation.   
    • My god the smirking was back in full force today. He almost started smiling after Johnny mentioned he wouldn’t be there if EJ hadn’t raped Sami. I will say I did like seeing him with Dee as they’ve always had great chemistry.    They really are giving a lot of false hope with John getting better. I wish they hadn’t done that. Monday is going to be devastating. I really liked all the characters mixing and mingling today.  Nu-Rachel is still too sweet for me. Loved all the flashbacks. Everyone looked so young. Really enjoyed Brady’s scenes with John today.
