Yeah… we need more Terry/Yuri and less  Austin/His douchebag cousin. 

And yeah, maybe y’all were right about the new nanny probably being in the running for Molly. She might have been too cold for that part. 

And Btw, Liz, if you know what happened between Joss/Cam and Dex, can you please explain why you didn’t beat Joss’ disgusting ass???

I remember people complaining what an obnoxious, cloying child Molly was 10 year ago lol.  They weren't wrong.  I honestly think Haley could have done just fine with this story, but I can't say I really need another pregnancy story in my life either.

I really like the idea of Carly running Kelly's.  It's the first time in a long time Carly has really done something (vaguely) self-sufficient.  And although I don't think Kelly's ever stopped being a 'hot spot' it was nice to hear her talk about plans for it and explain why she doesn't want to take money from Jax, Joss, everyone.  Will it last?  No, I am sure she will spend 5 mins on this and then go back to meddling with everyone's life as usual, but it's a start.  Also, I am sure we will have to hear how brave, strong, and awesome Carly is for awhile.  It started to today with Joss.  Do Carly or Joss ever have conversations with one another where they don't compliment each other on how great they are lol?

Alright, we're starting to sizzle a bit on GH with Ava getting slapped hard by the new nanny-plant!  I hope the nanny keeps this energy and really messes Sonny up, too.  The Pentonville stories are somewhat interesting...surprisingly.  I wonder where they're going to go and who that third mob faction is led by...hopefully it's someone well cast.

Carly taking over Kelly's and the Brownstone will be nice...probably the only decent thing this character has ever done since she came to Port Charles.

While I am sure it's disheartening to read those comments and I think soap twitter and some other spaces can be especially vicious, I do think it's just part of the job.  I don't even think these comments are that bad.  How can you really take to heart a person who can't spell dumb or ridiculous right? Lol.

People make horrible yelp reviews for businesses all the time not taking account mitigating circumstances.  People complain in restaurants and stores and belittle regular working class joes all the time for much less.  People can be as*holes all the time especially behind a keyboard.  

When you are a highly paid writer putting out a show and product for public consumption the public is going to have an opinion.  Every person in the entertainment industry that's mildly successful deals with these trolls.  I think it's absolutely silly to go on social media and complain about it.  The people directing these comments to this writer aren't going to read her post and realize the error of their ways.  Most likely they will double down now. 

I don't think actors or writers should be bullied and some of those comments are mean.  That being said, and I truly might be in the minority with this opinion, if things like this are bad for your mental health then perhaps you should follow your co workers lead and stay off social media.

    • I know Passions used this trope with Ethan and Sam to drag out the paternity, but GH seems to speed through certain stories while dragging others.
    • For any other soap, I think I’d agree, but GH, I don’t know

    • Agreed, that there was some strange choices in the episode, especially at the end, but overall, that was some great drama that opens up the potential for so much future storyline. Kat vs. Eva having the most potential, especially over Tomas. I have mixed feelings about Martin/BC though. I thought he did pretty well in scenes with Smitty/MM, but the scenes of him confronting Leslie and of him throwing the books were bad lol she acted circles around him.  It’s similar to what Harding Lemay said about George Reinholt at AW; he could be brilliant in one scene, but then mediocre in the next. 
    • I know some of y'all really like Brooke Kerr, and so I've tried to give her a shot, despite her frequent flat line readings and distracted "did I leave the front door unlocked?" facial expressions. But lord, she is so bad at playing a tough-talking badass that I was actually rooting for Brad today to spill the beans to Drew. 
    • Googling does tend to ruin it.  For those of us who were teens in the late 1970s and early 1980s, you can't imagine how much fun it was to watch the show in the afternoons.  (It came on right after school.)  There weren't any "spoilers" at the time.  We would always try to anticipate how each crime and each mystery would be resolved, and we were ALWAYS wrong, because the stories are filled with so many weird twists and turns.   The head writer (Henry Slesar) and his dialogue writer (Steve Lehrman) invariably toss genuine clues directly into your face in the most unlikely ways, but then they provide a host of "red herrings" to completely confuse you and send you off on the wrong path.  Once the story reaches its conclusion, all you can think is Why didn't I figure that out weeks ago?  lol
    • Does the vault have the original scene and not the short flashback?
    • I appreciate that you are using AI with the knowledge of it's limitations. Some posters take everything it produces as fact.
    • And of course Mama Ru herself appeared on All My Children.
    • The Saturday 8pm slot usually had the lowest rating of the NBC 4 sitcom lineup for some reason. NBC let Saturday night fizzle, They used 9.30 pm to launch 227 and Amen, both of which moved to earlier in the evening but they  kept Empty Nest following GG for several seasons.  Empty Nest should have moved to 8pm with their strongest new sitcom at 9.30, anticipating that GG would eventually falter. Instead they left them there and stretching the sitcom pool too thinly on other nights. When Grand talk over at 9.30 Thurs maybe Night Court and Wings could have been used on Saturday.
