Mo is looking a little goblin-y lately. It's like his age just hit him (or me maybe) all of a sudden. When's the last time he didn't have a love interest that towered over him? Short king season is in, lean into it.

Oh, he's definitely showing his age in the last few years.  Ever since his Mike phase, but that's a bad picture with that weird facial expression as well.  MB has always been noticeably short IMO.  If you really think about it only a handful of his love interests have really been shorter than him-even the first two Carlys were creeping up on being the same height as him in heels.

I don't really follow GH much these days and have picked up due to the anniversary. The affiliate in SF yesterday aired an episode with Mac in the hospital and Laura Wright's husband's character with a baby in the car (seems like he was on the run, could be wrong).

From reading twitter, I saw additional descriptions of the episode that was repeated in parts of the USA on Tues. April 4.

It was episode #14909 from Tuesday, February 8, 2022:

I wonder if that's the "encore" that will air in Canada today April 5?
Or will they simply rebroadcast in Canada what the US is seeing for the first time today?

Lilly Melgar and Lisa Vultaggio were pretty short, but yeah.  I think the show (and Mo) used to be a little more conscious of his height when pairing him back in the day or just super focused on hiring Brenda bots.  Either way lol.  It does look like CW intentionally slouches when she's with him and LW did that as well.

I tried to be kind while watching this first day of the Nurses' Ball...but damn...that was so much cringe. The choreography is just so awkward and stilted. It's like a middle school show that had too little rehearsal.
 
These performances with a dozen+ on stage are just so bad, and yes, I realize they're not supposed to be professional entertainers. Part of the problem is production, because nothing about the lighting or direction tells us we're watching something special -- which I thought we'd get for the 60th. Yes, they paid for bodies on the screen, but otherwise it all looks cheap.
 
If they can't do it right, whether it's budget or time or whatever, don't do it at all.

The Nurses' Ball was bad for most of the '90s as well, especially when they decided an event about HIV/AIDS prevention was really just an excuse for serial killers, sex tape reveals, and other garbage. At least now you don't have to see Wally Kurth trying to be a serious rocker (I hope...).

These Nurses Ball episodes should have a way for viewers to donate to HIV\AIDS research, so something good comes out of this fictional event. Maybe the Magic Wands can do a pin-up calendar and ABC can sell those? I can see them making good money from this, with all the female and gay men that watch the show. Heck, it would be a newsmaking/press moment too.

    • What I wouldn't give to have any of Jordan's run as Tim surface.  I wish there was more of early '81 online. It would be fascinating to see Alan/Rita play out. I guess I'm too set in my ways...I'd be horrified at a Van/Alan marriage. Not that it wouldn't have been great to see more of Chris Bernau with Maeve.   
    • This leads to one of my favorite scenes ever...I won't spoil it but it is a very clever meta moment unmasking Brent to the cops...(it may have happened.) Also you already saw one of my favorite lines..."You, you think I'm a LESBIAN???" even crazy Brent is shocked that Lucy is that dumb, and only crazy Brent would be pissed at being mistaken for gay instead of being a psychotic rapist /killer.   Hate that scene, made both adult women look like morons. Amanda is way too subtle for that, I could see her egging emotional Blake into doing that and making a fool of herself in front of everyone. The whole story would have been more fun if Amanda was manipulating Blake to look like the Blake of old.   One of McLaiby's biggest mistakes is what they do to Bridget, who grew up since having Peter and loosing Maureen and running a business.I remember Liabson saying in the press..."The Bridget we know is back" but that was over, and being more adult does not mean you have to be boring..she was even less feisty here, she just looks pathetic.    This story is so gross... and too bad too, cause Griffin is sexy as hell. I can see Viv getting steamed on him but....   There is a spectrum of sexuality that some people can go in and out of, depending on special people they may find attractive...and we can leave it at that. I never trust the long distance girlfriend boyfriend but I hope he is happy and settled. I would have HATED the Abby storyline. He raped and killed too many people to be "reformed," and to have anyone in SF accept him or trust him after that would make them look like morons.  
    • Eva convinced Nicole to have the party -- due to Leslie/Dana's insistence that there be a party when they do their planned dramatic reveal. They haven't specified which anniversary it is for Ted and Nicole. How many years have they been married?  It's not 10, 20, 25, 30 or some specific number that you'd celebrate. Kat pointed out that there was no plan for a party until Eva instigated it, which indicates to me that it's some odd number of years.
    • Why is Billy such a wet rag in every scene he's in? Isn't he the same man responsible for the disastrous Chancellor Remodel back in 2016?
    • Okay, after reflecting on Mucas overnight, I suggest we cut to the chase & call them  SNOT You have to admit that it would be different!
    • Part of me feels both Jacob and Naomi might show up at some point today. As "late arrivals", etc.
    • MVJ seems to be cognizant that Leslie and Eva are true breakouts for this show:

    • Yesterdays episode was a great lead in the fireworks for today.  It is a shame that Naomi and Jacob are not there and Nicole's best friend Vanessa and Doug.I am interested to see the fallout from this.  I do think that Eva is Ted and Nicole's daughter.
    • Okay, I hear ya. But, you know Josh Griffith on one Thursday night fired 7 or 8 writers in one fell swoop! That totally blew my mind. But, I still think this is bunk. And, no, the show is not that bad! Literally, my only problem with it, as a fan, is that I think it could be great & it's just not. It's good, not great. They still are not on top of pacing. They routinely take too long to tell stories. But, one example, the scenes this week with Lulu & Laura were like old time soap come home!
