I still have faith in Sprina but Trina annoyed me today. Why couldnt she call out Joss when Joss admitted she cheated on Cam with Dex

 

I may be in the minority but Holiday Mia Kriegel was good in her scenes as Molly with TJ.

 

I also liked how Molly acknowldeged that she hadnt been thinking of TJ's grief, only her own.

It’s ridiculous. They’ve practically ruined Trina these past few months. 

One thing at least, they didn’t have her remind us again that Cam’s playing soccer for Stanford, so it’s all good

I'm not even sure you're in the minority. I think Kriegel is a good recast, and I'm enjoying her in the role.

I admit I said "Wait...what is this?" on Day 1, but I quickly came around to her style and take on Molly. I hope GH keeps her.

I think HMK is still really awful. The thing about NuMolly is that she does channel HP, but HP's most annoying traits lol.  She's extremely shrill in her delivery.  Although I will say she is better than she was on day one so maybe there is hope.

It's not an acting choice, IMO. She has no range.

People saw this character as a dayplayer and glommed onto her, and now we have too many vocal fans for this character whose performer has exactly one note onscreen. This is why some people stay dayplayers. I am all for Selina Wu being a force onscreen with the right actor and all for more AAPI characters, but I have never found LL very good.

... I love Lydia Look as Selina Wu. She is magic in the role, and am very happy she is no longer an occasional dayplayer.

Jane Elliot seems to have a ball playing the material; it comes off in her portrayal!  Her facial expressions are GOLD!

Sofia Mattsson is working the hell out of what's happening with Sasha.  She is hamming it up, and it works so well. F**k, can I get some of this wonder drug?

It is LOVELY seeing Walt Willey as Jackson Montgomery again.  He slipped beautifully back into the role.  I noticed no wedding ring on his finger, and I'm also wondering who his other associates are..?  Shame they couldn't have been "Colby" in alluding to Liza Colby.

I would love to reunite Hayden with Violet.  It was disgusting how they brought her back, sent her away, and acted like it wasn't that big of a deal for Violet.  The purpose was to further prop up Fin/Michael Easton by giving him a daughter and a single dad identity.  Violet should be with her mom.

I love Esme.  She really has become one of my favorite characters.  It has been enjoyable to watch her trying to be a better person, with mixed results.  

I hope the show keeps her around and redeems her, at least partially.  Maybe she can have a long transition, like Maxie did, or Rachel Davis on AW.   I know she has done terrible things, but I think she is more redeemable than Franco or Liesl were. 

There just seems to be a lot to her backstory that is worth exploring.

I am confused.  I thought the Dr. gave Sasha benzo's or xanax.  I swear that's what the label said.  Why is she acting so high and crazy?  She's acting like she's on Adderall and I don't think a former cocaine addict would be stupid enough to take that lol.  I am no Dr., but I have taken xanax and valium before and it made me very chill.....

I really think Finola should cut her hair a bit.  It's looking long and kind of stringy.  She's lovely, but I think she should cut it about 6 inches

Well, he absolutely said 'benzos. I am perplexed. Did he tell her he was giving her one thing but actually give her something different?!! Can't stand seeing Sasha high as a kite as well as manic in buying things like crazy & speaking very fast & a lot & maybe some delusions of grandeur. I'm a non-violent person & I want to smash Quack Doc & Gladys's heads together like a 3 Stooges routine. 

Love Miz Wu & only want to make her hair stay in place. I don't understand what Cody Bell did & why. 

Loving Kristina & her dialog is top notch. "cautionary tale about waiting too long to have babies" is exactly what medical people say to women suffering with endometriosis. If you'd only gotten pregnant when you were 16, blah blah blah. And Molly is way defensive. Doesn't even get to have the worst thing that has ever happened to her be about herself.

@AbcNbc247 You think the problem with Sprina is Jex? I don't see that. I think it's a good sign that the girls are having girl talk again. I was pleased that Joss understands that part of Spence's problem with Dex is really about her & the way she mistreated & cheated on Cam. That showed more insight than I realized she'd had.

But, I don't understand what Dan & Chris are up to with their young potential supercouple. Okay, so they have to have hurdles, roadblocks but Esme & Portia are not good ones. And I think putting off consummation is just unrealistic. They're squandering all the Greenland  momentum.

    • 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 know,,,which I find extraordinary. I have toyed with the idea of watching Another World for Maeve, Kathleen Widdoes and Beverlee. But watching Vanessa call Emma Snyder "momma" kinda weirded me out. LOL.
    • 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.
