I am watching yesterday's episode and I have a few thoughts-

Sonny is again just hanging around the hospital for no reason.  Does he even know Curtis well?  He might, but I clearly have never paid attention.  He's really into finding the shooter by..........standing around the hospital being useless?

I think it's very weird that Kristina and Alexis are talking about Molly's surrogacy so seriously when Molly isn't onboard at all.  I appreciate Alexis is clearly laying out the cons, but they are really getting ahead of themselves here.  And, oh Maxie, that outfit.......the grandma purse really pulled the look together. 

My hatred of Gladys and every scene she is in is well known, but I did have to chuckle that she had Michael in her phone as "Sonny's Kid" and she had no idea who Scout was either because, obviously, same with me.

Sasha going off the rails is the best kind of Sasha.  It's truly faint praise from me, but it is amusing at least.

I can genuinely say I DID NOT need Curtis's near death 'dream' with his mother in my life.

Fri., 7-14-23. Molly & TJ are being insufferable to Kristina! Has anyone ever been more defensive than Whiny Molly? After all the worst thing that ever happened to her isn't about her. Calls Kristina a narcissist. 

I'm not particularly keen on Sonny & Anna scenes.

I'm impatient for Spence & Trina to "get it on". At their age, first consummation should be devoutly wished for. It's time someone caught Esme remembering something.

I cannot stand them putting Sasha through more hell. Especially with people tricking her into drugging again. At this point Gladys can do no right by me!

Frank, get Dan & Chris to do better!

These histrionics around Curtis being shot are atrocious for all of the characters reacting to it.  Trina & her whole extended family need to be phased out with their bland, boring superficiality.  Bring back the Wards with Keesha as the foundation, for goodness sakes!  If they can't get the beautiful Senait Ashenafi back, then recast with Erika Alexander or have Frank find another Renee Elise Goldsberry-caliber actress, please, like he did on One Life to Live.

As funny as it is to have Cody go up against Gladys for Sasha, Cody really should be rocking Elizabeth's world instead.  It's revolting seeing her fall back into that dead-end flopdom coupling with Flynn again.

Why is Sam wearing long-sleeved attire in the middle of July?

It was so lovely seeing Felicia & Lucy go to Pine Valley and find Jack!  I wish/hope we have more AMC, OLTL, Loving/The City and Ryan's Hope cameos woven through for as long as GH stays on the air.  That boring nail salon set should really be rebranded as Foxy Roxy's Beauty Salon with Ilene Kristen back doing comedic cameos.

TJ & Molly snapping at Kristina is so cringe.  The new Molly actress being supermodel tall and looking like Erica Kane's daughter is too distracting for me.  Doing frontburner story with 2 recent recasts of long-running characters is always a bad move.

I appreciate GH having the beats of Curtis's family holding vigil for him unlike Days where everything happens off screen like Abe's funeral lol, but they are so boring.  I honestly didn't care or feel for any of them.

I mean, Gladys was buying a fur coat in July that needed to be delivered immediately, so maybe it's cold in PC?

The TJ/Molly/Kristina stuff is just weird.  Kristina is so insistent on being their surrogate without even talking to them and TJ/Molly are so over the top angry about it.  Nothing has happened and everyone is so upset and offended.  We all know how this is going to end, but TJ/Molly are acting like they are so hurt when they have all the control in the situation and could just tell Kristina to take a hike.  Kristina is a bit of a narcissist and has horrible timing, but she's not out to harm anyone.  FauxMolly is acting like this is a horrible personal attack and I don't think it is.  All Molly has to say is I am not ready to make any decisions now but thanks for the offer instead of pulling the histrionics she was yesterday.

Why am I not surprised that Curtis is the one shot? I thought it was interesting that there were so many doctors/nurses there when it happened though. Only on a soap...LOL!!!

 

I have to give where credit is due. Sorry @AbcNbc247 but at least Joss at least a little (very little) bit owned that she messed up big time with the whole Dex/Cameron thing. Before now, she has been playing too much victim for me. Meanwhile, yeah meh at the writers trying to make Spencer/Esme a thing. That just screams ewwww.

 

I continue to have mixed feelings about the writing for Kristina. And I still agree they should wait for the recasts to really gel. Kristina is not and should not be treated like an A. J. and that's just how she comes across. Is she passionate? Yes. Defiant? Sometimes. But she does go after what she wants...for better or for worse. And she definitely FINISHES what she starts. Also for better or for worse.

Nina comes first to Sonny as Carly, Michael, and Joss have been saying for a year and half. He wanted to be there for her cause she is worried about her BFF Curtis. They came together at the hospital so it made sense for him to be there. There was a little small talk with Marshall about the shooter. Alexis sent him a text that she needs to see him about Kristina. Nina told him to go even though Sonny offered to stay until they got a update.

I obviously watched the episode so I know what happened lol.  I saw all this, but Sonny hanging around the hospital to hold Nina's purse or whatever is not a reason to be there.  I don't think he needed to be there, but I hate Nina and hate Sonny/Nina.  Sonny has been consistently hanging around town following Nina around for 2 years.  If I am going to have to watch Mo 5 days a week I want him to do something.  I don't buy Sonny/Nina's great big love and I think she's just a run of the mill Sonny love interest.  Which is fine, but I am about to buy Sonny a one way ticket to Rome so I can see him with an actual love interest he has chemistry with.

This Pine Valley jaunt for Lucy & Felicia is the best thing this show has done in months.  It would have been so fun if they had run into Opal or Brooke and caught us up on more town gossip!

I had no idea Ava was Delia Ryan's daughter.  Definitely makes me like the character more.  So cool that she's half-sisters with Olivia Jerome, too.  This is how you root characters into a long-running soap universe!

      Good Morning, this is still funny to me but I totally enjoyed what makes up "DemetriKane" so unnecessary, who cares?!!! Glad you like the Emma Peel derivative story.

      DAYS: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      By AbcNbc247 · Posted

      A new day in Salem… and a new day for Days.  I like the way everybody found out and absorbed the news about John’s death, and how they all eventually found their way to Marlena’s to offer their condolences. I’m not particularly sure why they waited until the next day to tell everybody but I don’t really mind it.  We finally got Roman’s perspective! His scenes with Kayla were one of the best parts of today. I’m glad that Roman is thankful for everything that John did for his kids. I agree with posters who said that he should’ve had a scene like this with John, but I’m happy we got this at least.  Julie was used very well today too. She’s definitely the best person for Marlena to have scenes with at the moment. Hopefully, Julie continues to be there for her. And yes, I totally agree with Marlena and Belle sending EJ away when he came to the apartment. I’m curious to see what’s going to happen to his and Belle’s relationship in the aftermath of all this. And, while I enjoyed most of Brady and Kristen’s scenes, I still think the ship has sailed for them. Hopefully, the aftermath of John’s death causes Brady to finally end this thing with her once and for all.  And, I see a lot of people were wearing some kind of shade of purple today.

      DAYS: Current&Former actors live video tribute for Drake Hogestyn

      By Wendy · Posted

      Wow, I love that current and former actors are participating in this. I barely recognize Staci Greason! She looks fine, just very different. But I will be happy to hear anecdotes from her. I shipped RoJohn and Isabella hard back in the day, and I sobbed buckets in my dorm room at college when Izzy B passed. Honestly, I'm interested in everyone's stories. Drake seemed like he was well loved among the cast.

      BTG: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Alan · Posted

      When she first appeared, I was sure she was setting Tyrell up for a prank. She was too much of a manic pixie dream girl- I wasn't surprised Tyrell also became suspicious. Now I'm not so sure. If Jessica genuinely likes Tyrell, it seems like a missed opportunity to not have started her out as a bully, then we see her gradually catch feelings for Tyrell.  The McBrides are definitely the "C" family of BTG. They always get last priority. There have been a few times where the Doug/Vanessa/Joey characters reference off screen conversations which seem too important to not show us. Like when Doug thanked Joey for giving him extra time to pay off the loan. When did that happen? Or when we abruptly moved from Vanessa/Joey at Uptown to Vanessa/Doug in the hotel room. The McBrides don't even have their own set - even though Vanessa is a realtor. It's a shame because I am a fan of the characters and actors.

      I am also adjusting to KR as Ted but I feel that AM and MJ had way more chemistry as father and daughter than AM and KR. We saw Eva dream of having a real relationship with MJ's version of Ted for months so it's a bit of a bummer not to have that payoff with the original actor except for those scenes in MJ's last episode.  Something I noticed about Eva today is how she takes genuine delight in being a schemer. As badly as she wants to be a Richardson, she still has so much of her mom in her. It was jarring seeing her earnestly promise to steer clear of Leslie in her scene with Ted, then immediately switch attitudes when her mom showed up.  I'm very surprised with how quickly the accident story has been moving along. I was sure that it would be months if not years before people figured out it was Leslie on the motorcycle, not to mention responsible for the potassium overdose. I'm looking forward to seeing how MVJ and Guza avoid writing Leslie into a corner.  Finally, I have been loving the Articulettes story. Bonita Brisker was just the right amount of OTT - remember Sharon is supposed to be even more angry than Tracy is. If Sharon didn't come in swinging, people would say she fell flat. The way Sharon and Tracy describe the breakup is so Supremes-meet-Original Recipe Destiny's Child. I get the sense that MVJ is re-writing the Return to Love Tour as a roman a clef, and I love it. I'm looking forward to finding out what the secret they share is. If Dante Green is as shady as Berry Gordy was, it's something dark. If/when they go through with the reunion, I expect Dante to show up and claim to own the Articulettes trademark in a Lou Pearlman-esque twist.
