I liked the first scene between New Kristina and Sonny. They looked like they were related.

I liked the Alexis/Esme scenes.

Evan Hofer (Dex) now appears in the opening.

The Spencer/Trina/Portia scenes were boring. Nothing was said that wasn't said before.

Agree. Agree. Okay. Disagree. 

At least as to Portia's tirade to Spence. She continues to have a lot of nerve & yesterday she pushed the envelope even further. I was amazed that she actually told him she thinks he provides nothing good at all to Trina & that she intimated something improper about his proximity to Esme when she herself continues to court Esme in advancing her mama bear agenda. Whenever Trina finds out what she's done & doing it's gonna be hell to pay. 

However all I really want out of Sprina is (1) consummation and (2) what is wrong with Taby's voice and/or vocal chords. Since when did hot-blooded 20-year-olds wait to get it on?!

How will Gladys and Montague react to Sasha stabbing Cody? Will they do the honest thing and admit that Sasha's violence was drug-induced? Will they instead claim that Sasha is violently insane and must be kept locked up in a mental hospital, leaving Gladys forever in charge of her money? I expect the latter.

Will Cody survive? I think so. Will this crisis lead to the revelation that Cody is Mac's son and Maxie's stepbrother? I hope it does.

Yeah but Hayley looked eleven years old. How old is Molly supposed to be? The new actress doesn't look old, she just looks generic. Like Sascha, Esme and Willow's sister. 

BTW I  didn't mind Mia at all.

-- It's a lousy recast. Her age and that voice...just no.

-- But let's not let us distract from the fact that this show cannot wean itself away from Cyrus and Heather. Sometimes villains have to GO -- for GOOD -- no matter how strong the actors are.

-- That Metro Court pool...a shooting and a stabbing within a couple days. THIS is a Port Charles hotspot?? Why isn't this place shut down?? And wasn't it special that it took 5 minutes after Cody was stabbed before anyone yelled "Call 9-1-1!" ?

-- Then there's dumb as a box of hair Maxie. Sasha "isn't well" so she shouldn't be blamed for STABBING SOMEONE??? Jesus, this show.

I love Jeff Kober in his many storied roles in genre film and TV in the '80s and '90s. On paper, he was a potential get for GH as a short-term villain. In practice he mostly comes off as a blowsy old man whining through utterly inexplicable scenes in which at-risk, elderly Cyrus complains that he didn't mean to run over his and Tad Martin's dad in the family driveway. I blame the show more than him for his poor usage and the overall lame character.

If Molly was Alexis's only kid I don't think I would have any issue at all.  I do think this actress reads older than TJ, but people are correct that HP looked quite young too.  It's just a miss because she's Alexis youngest and should be significantly younger than Sam.

I am not familiar with his work, but I do know he is a 'get' for soaps.  My question is-is his diction and way JK speaks always like that?  The way he delivers his lines is so odd.  It's almost Shakespearean the way he talks and I wonder if that's an acting thing for him.

He gets the creepy part down.  It's weird to wrap your mind around the fact him, Martin, and Laura are related.  

Don't ask for Nina more than she already appears.  I still don't know what the hell either of those two know about running a hotel.  At least with Jax/Carly owning it we knew Jax had business acumen and he probably just gave Carly an office to feel important.  Nina's time in a coma and Olivia's time as a teen mom and amateur chef don't scream 5 star hotel owners to me.

      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.
