“I’m Carly Spencer.”

Wow, when did we get this name change? She has always kept the Corinthos name no matter the divorces. And before that, she was Carly Roberts right?

I loved the Bobbie Spencer flashbacks. The only thing that sucked was the music. Every scene they featured was dramatic and heartfelt, I wish the music played to those cues. Instead it was general, apple movie music. Why drop the ball. These were east tears to claim. The hardest part was the clip selection, and they knocked it out of the park. 
 

I also loved Sonny to the rescue with Lucy. It’s rare that he gets to play into Lucy’s humour, so the juxtaposition was perfect. I guess we will get Lucy in her underwear as we deserve…

I am pretty sure Carly changed it on her Eat, Pray, Love journey to Jacksonville a while back.  It was mentioned on screen for sure.  She did originally go by Carly Roberts when she came to town. 

I have always liked the Sonny/Lucy friendship too.  Lucy does well with male friendships.  I liked her/Luke too.

I hate how inconsistent Hulu is with uploading GH timely.  There's no reason it shouldn't be available on Hulu by the time it airs on ABC for the west coast, anyways.

And, yeah, that random lawyer-turned-singer getting so much of her life story told with Carly fangirling her was ridiculous.  I wonder if that singer just has someone on the show she's connected to doing her a favor or something.  Otherwise, they could have at least gotten Angie Stone, Erykah Badu or, heck, even some of the new girls like Muni Long or SZA on there to promote their new albums.  They should have had Latto up there sing-rapping "bad chick, I could be your fantasy...big, big energy" with the Magic Wands dancing.

Josh Kelly (Cody) has been getting too much sun.  His skin will not age well if he keeps doing that (or was it just bronzer?).  I wish they'd give him better stories instead of letting him languish in the background.

I am on the West Coast and don't usually watch the uploads on daily basis (more a few at a time), but wanted to watch GH yesterday and I don't even think it was up by midnight last night and sometimes it's up at 4 pm lol.   Today it was up pretty timely.  I don't know the schedule hulu tries to follow, but I have never noticed an issue until yesterday. 

The random lawyer turned singer did have a lovely voice, but I had no idea if she was connected to the show or they just found her or if she was somehow famous in some way I wasn't aware of.   It was such a strange waste of like 10 minutes of an episode.

GH can't afford a stage so I doubt they could afford a "name".  Maybe beg Ricky Martin for a favor lol?

IIRC she changed her last name as a tribute to Bobbie's family of origin last fall after her whole adventure with her adoptive mother's ashes when she found her true self on the beach with Drew, and then promptly regressed within weeks

But I get what you mean about Yuri. All the other guys came out all shaved and primped up looking like pretty boys, while Yuri came out looking like a real man

    • I have my fingers crossed for a baby to be named Monica Michelle & called Monica. And, yes, I do realize that is not equal to having her onscreen but, like you said & of course a recast is unthinkable. 
    • I would love to have Monica on screen. Leslie Charleson has died. She played the role for 46 years. Monica should pass as well. No one is going to accept a long-term recast for Monica, no matter how great  the actress they could get.
    • Coming into June...   It just occurred to me that seeing Carter/Hope engaged that there was something missing. Oh, yeah! DAPHNE. I missed a few episodes, but she left, right? So is Ridge going to be the spoiler for Carter/Hope now? I felt that Daphne/Carter/Hope had more legs to it. But I guess we will see.   I did enjoy that show circling back around to Luna/Will/Electra. Katie was spitting nothing, but truth. Same for Sheila. And it's good to see Luna vs Electra, and they gave off more adversary chemistry this time around versus when they were at Deacon's.    I was happy to see Liam reduced to C plot.
    • To bring over from the May Sweeps Thread from @Chris B   I know the fashions have gotten mixed reviews but I actually like what the new costume designer is putting the cast in. It feels more modern and the more tacky pieces I feel make sense for rich people. They're buying for the brand and the price and we often see celebs in things like this. Especially for a character like Nikki, I feel the more over the top (and tacky), the more realistic it is.   I agree. While it has been hit and miss no question, I have found it fascinating to watch what the costume designer is attempting to do with the various characters and their clothes. Some have been overdue. Some have been fascinating. But (outside of Billy) not boring to watch. I definitely find it more modern as well.   My growing issue has been it's not good that the best reason to watch Y&R as of late has been to see what people are wearing rather than the writing. It feels like a red flag.
    • Haha. The fact that I stopped regularly viewing at the same time and know what you are talking about is chef's kiss.    I'm slowly bingewatching Nurse's Ball Week. But it's slow for me because a lot of the same tics and writing flaws for me that made me throw up my hands is still evident *cough*CVE*cough* Thankfully, there are some things I like also and from a glance in the GH May Thread, it seem like it had a good Sweeps with good fallout. And do I even need to mention Nina finally slapping the taste out of Carly's mouth? See? Regardless of her flaws, I do enjoy Korte-headed episodes over CVE-headed episodes because they always seem to have more emotional resonance to long-time fans.
    • And that charity does still get mentioned from time to time. I want to say the last time was some time this year, too. 
    • Oh, no. Vernon has definitely had his moments.   Choose silence anyone?
    • Search YT for Edwyn Sanchez, he posted an AI enhanced episode of ATWT and it is beautiful.   
    • That's so funny, that's how I listen to Montecito - while walking my dog. I'll have to check out Forever & a Day.
