I think Taggert would have be consistently on the show to get written off lol.

I think Real did some of his best work yesterday with the elevator scene reacting to finding out he's not Trina's dad. I'm surprised the show gave his character the time for an extended emotional reaction, didn't we need another scene of someone telling Willow how brave she is?

I don't see this meaning much because Trina likes Curtis and his family and loves her dad? What's the point? Whatever.

Marshall makin' gumbo in the kitchen and Stella wringing her hands with "What if Curtis don't love me no more" is some Stepin Fetchit shît and it's starting to get to me. There has GOT to be a middle ground for black folks on daytime in 2023 that isn't the whitewashed tediousness of the Winters on Y&R and whatever the hell they have Marshall and Stella doing.

And the actor who plays Marshall is really not up to task of making any of his material more than what's on the page. Or maybe I just hate his voice.

This 'Spencer being the only one to care about Cam/Spencer being the bad guy' bullshit makes even less sense then Ron Carlivati's writing. And making Trina an idiot isn't gonna help at all either. 

I also find it hilarious that the traumatized revenge porn victim is now the biggest whore in Port Charles. At this point, she should start charging Dex for her services.

Seriously, WTF are they thinking in the GH writers room?

I don't like Joss' personality any more than anyone else on here but she slept with one dude hours before breaking up with her college bf out of shame over it. She's not exactly Brooke Logan or even Carly, who was the sexual mascot of Jake's in her prime. We can ding the writing that tries to whitewash Joss' behavior without burning her on a pyre as a whore IMO.

I'll admit I have a week-plus to catch up on. It's a struggle getting through days upon days of 1) The Same Black Storyline We Had For the Last Dude (it's true, Shawn had literally the same background story as Curtis for years), 2) Willow the Undying, 3) Carly and Drew's Bestselling Book "(If) We Did It", and finally 4) Esme Doesn’t Want to Pay Rent Because She Had Amnesia.

Joss isn't a whore in any true sense of the word but I truly believe any other character would have been raked over the coals for such behavior.  The show makes it seem like Joss was right because Cameron was boring her?  Not hot enough in the sack?   Joss just skated by on very questionable behavior and that is very annoying.

Maybe I got carried away

I just hate this storyline so much. And I really, really hate when awful people keep getting rewarded for their awful behavior. Both in real life and in fiction. It’s not right. Say what you will about Sonny and Carly, but they’ve at least somewhat paid for their awful behavior. Not as much as they should but it was still more than this.

How can anyone treat someone that they claim to care about so terribly? And then just not care at all about that person or what they did to them? Over at Days, I hated it when Ciara did it to Theo and I hated it when Craig did it to Nancy. But Joss is worse than the two of them put together.

It’s like she not even human. I find her to be even worse than Carly. I know Carly has problems being a decent person too, but she would never treat the people that she says she cares about the way that Joss treated Cam and now to a lesser extent, Spencer and Michael. And honestly, I want Joss to suffer worse than any person on GH ever has. 

I have absolutely no idea what the writers, or Frank are thinking with the way this storyline is being written. And do they seriously think that this consolation prize crap of Cam going to play soccer for Stanford (and Trina constantly reminding us of it) makes everything better?

It doesn’t.

Believe me I get your point I was just agreeing with @Vee that she's technically not a whore not that she's a good person lol.  Joss never looks like the bad guy and doesn't have any repercussions for terrible actions.   If any other character did this to someone they claimed to love Joss would be the first in line to vilify them.  Instead Joss is given a pass because the relationship with Cam was struggling, although Cam didn't think so lol.  She's a horrible human being and I can't stand her, but Cam really is better off without her.  I don't think Stanford is a consolation prize, but it's certainly better than him hanging around town mooning after Joss.

    • Bizarrely, while I didn't see it, I distinctly remember my younger sister telling me. We were walking to the store, and at the top of the hill she let out "Roger raped Holly", and I swear I remember it echoing for what seemed like forever. She would've been five at the time. 
    • 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.
