I see they tried to make us have sympathy for Leo today… but it’s not gonna work. It never works in situations like this. Look at Kristen lol  

I do think it would be a nice, clever twist if Dimitri was playing both Gwen and Leo. Not only because it would be a surprise but because they both kind of deserve it too. 

And he did look hot today. Both in the suit and out of it

I was glad to see Belle ripping Kristen a new one today too because this whole mess is her fault. I still don’t see how Brady can be brought in without a warrant or evidence though. That reminds me of the soap that I wrote when I was a kid, where everyone was trying to kill each other yet not a single person was arrested

And, that’s a big Hell No on Li and Trask

EJ and Stefan live in the same house, but they didn't discuss Megan's assassination attempt until a week later?

Is Harris gone for good?

And now Gabi has a gun?  I will never understand why Peacock censors sex, but not gun violence.  Personally, I'm less offended by a tush and some oral sex double entendres than showing people threatening each other with guns on a semi-weekly basis.

Finally, character reformation is one thing, but Li's involved in a wacky romance plot one week after being responsible for people getting shot in the same bar as his blind date?

So, now it looks like Stephanie’s gonna be a victim of misogynistic writing. She had to know what Alex was trying to do today. I know I would’ve tossed his ass out, no matter how good he looked in the towel and the robe

This storyline is going fine just the way it is. Stephanie doesn’t need to be dumbed down in order for it to happen. 

And that’s still a no on Li and Trask.  I do think they do need to give her more to do though. Or at least give us an explanation as to why she’s always so angry and miserable. 

Again, for me, it’s not really the story choices (except for this Abe crap, but that was clearly a Jamey idea lol), it’s the execution of it all.

Well, sure as shooting, it is happening. And, with the bonus factor that Kristen knows about it because Rachel told her they were having a sleepover! Yeah, one with no jammies. 

@j swift  Surely it would be too good for Harris to be gone! Could we have that one nice thing? We've been pretty darn good. And, yeah, I hope John rips him a new one over taking the gun. But, why does he have the code to the gunsafe?!! That was a mistake.

Catching up, just started July…

I’m pretty darn sure the good looking gentleman on the left was partying it up with Paul and papa John at last year’s San Francisco pride party on Beyond Salem 2. The extras in theses scene were cracking me up. 
 

I now understand why Steve Burton always wore black T-shirts on GH — to conceal his pit sweat. A lil Botox will help with that; you can siphon some out from Galen Gering’s forehead.

I like Trask too and think she needs more to do.  The whole Li/Trask thing feels racist.  Maybe I am just being sensitive, but let's just pair the two non-related Asian characters together because they must have tons in common.  Seems lazy.

I had high hopes for Stephanie and liked the recast initially, but she is boring now.  She is the blandest heroine on the show.

True on both points. Stephanie should be a lot more mature and a better business owner. Unfortunately the actress reminds me of a cheerleader (

) rather than someone that has been living on her own for years and apparently running her own business.

Do Chad, Stephanie, Alex, Chloe, and Xander all live in the same building?  If so, that's sort of cute.

It is amusing on these tiny sets when someone pulls another person aside to talk, as if everyone in the room can't hear them.  I mean, it's Salem, and if everyone can hear each other conversations in the Kiriakis Mansion, I think they can hear each other in their tiny kitchenette.  BTW, are people ordering Chinese food and pizza because their kitchens are too small to cook?

I assume that we'll see the fall out of Lani and Abe on Friday, but today's dialogue indicated that it is now almost 8pm in Salem, so Whitley must have a huge supply of drugs at her place in order to keep injecting them every few hours.

Unpopular opinion, Li grew on me today.  Although Trask having drinks with the defendant in an upcoming case that she's prosecuting is just as unethical as Rafe and Jada dating (maybe that's the point?), Li felt much more natural today and charming.

I actually don't think it's AK's fault.  She seems capable and is a decent recast in theory.  She's just written so blandly.  I swear the show was trolling us the other week when Stephanie was going through different colors of beige paints.  She is just so beige.  And AK does give popular girl/cheerleader vibes, but I don't think that's bad for Stephanie.  She's very similar to Hennig, but very far away from Shayna Rose (I hope I am getting her name right) and her different take on the character.

Alex lives across the hall from Chad and Stephanie. And nothings been said onscreen, but since their kitchen is identical to Chloe and Xander’s, I guess it makes sense for them to live in the same building lol

        Thank you! Agreed on both posts. And the comments about Mike Manning are nonsense.

      I haven't watched yet, but did they explain the current ownership of The Bistro?  Because when RonC was writing, wasn't he applying for work with Sophia?

      I think Brandon has gotten better in normal day to day scenes, but he’s very over the top when the character is meant to be angry or agitated. I did laugh when she started yelling at Leslie and then when he started to throw all those damn books, lol. He needs an acting coach to work out some of these kinks.

      I've never found him as bad as some. I think he's always shined in scenes with Vernon, who should be his father. I also think he has great chemistry with Kat and Dani which I hope they tap into more over time. Dani/Martin feel like such a fun and believable Auntie/Nephew relationship.

      GH: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      I don't expect Lois to be the same person she was 25 years ago, but she's definitely lost a lot of what made Lois unique.  It's clear the show doesn't know how to write for her, and the sole purpose of Lois is to hide this Gio secret.  It's a shame she doesn't interact with more of the canvas.  It's a waste of Rena's talents. I like Brook Kerr most of the time.  She can be hit or miss.  I totally get what you are saying about her line readings too.  I honestly think the character really suffers being stuck in the Curtis pairing.  She's much better than Tanisha Harper's Jordan lol.

      Friday and yesterday's episode is what daytime television should be. The other shows airing could take a page from yesterday's show.  I loved the rage, hurt and anger Nicole unleashed on Ted.  Daphnee should be up for an Emmy nom for these scenes.  It broke my heart to see how Dana had locked Eva out.  I do feel sorry for Eva.    I am still bumfuzzled as to why Leslie/Dana went to the DuPree's and asked them to accept Kat UNLESS Eva is really Kat's twin (and really Nicole and Ted's daughter that maybe they though they lost or an embryo Dana/Leslie stole??) I loved how Anita and Vernon both shot her down.    Ohhh and let me just say Friday and yesterday was the MOST fire I have seen Martin have since the show started.  Maybe Brandon Clayborn is coming into his own with the role finally.
