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.

    • Once Johnny Dallas' cut himself off from Laurie Ann Karr and their son, and once Laurie successfully recovered from her mental problems, she wanted a new, fresh, and healthy start for the next chapter of her life. She legally reverted her name and changed John Victor's  surname to Karr. After moving to the country (when Teri  Keane was dropped from the show), Bill and Martha Marceau legally adopted Jennifer, the baby girl whom they had earlier taken in when the child's biological mother, Taffy Simms (and other bio family members) proved to be unfit to raise her. Jennifer legally and emotionally became a Marceau, and gave that name to her own daughter, whom Jennifer birthed through surrogacy as a single parent. Et...voila! The Karr and Marceau legacies live on.

    • BLQ is having second thoughts regarding putting her baby up for adoption. Chase is upset he can't tell Dante. So both are putting this on at lulus feet. Saying she is holding it over them. Lulu is doing none of this. 
    • Yes she absolutely was involved in that story which seems to have gone nowhere.  She didn't start to remove herself from the writing until 1973.
    • Y'all are bringing back great memories of AMC 2.0 for me.  I haven't thought about it and the new characters in so long, well since it aired, and I plan to go re-watch it now. When AMC ended, I finally came to peace with it and accepted that I will never watch an hour of a TV show daily in my life again... something that I had been doing since I was 6-7 years old. I was starting a new career, relationship, and chapter in life when AMC 2.0 came out.  I found a way to watch it, but things felt differently for me at the time and when it was so short-lived and gone, it became such a distant memory, sadly.
    • That's a great point. I wish the writing could find those nuances.
    • After all Lulu's been through with her coma and missing years I can get her being on the sensitive side especially when talking to her mother.  I was thinking it was more a culmination of everything than just this one particular problem. 
    • I see her moral dilemma, too, and I don't think Lulu was out of line. I just felt it was overboard for her to break down in tears over her dilemma.
    • I also think the fact Lulu chose abortion and Brook Lynn chose to give a baby up for adoption instead when they were in similar situations adds another layer to this.  The writing doesn't really state this, but I can see Lulu slightly spiraling about thinking she could have an adult child out there if she made a different choice.  Both woman made the right choices for themselves at the time, but I can see both making parallels to their decisions.
    • SO good!  I agree. Classic soap opera and it was a cliffhanger I've been craving for weeks now.  First time in a while that I can't wait for tomorrow's episode!
