I like this twist of Nikolas' half-uncle Cyrus saving him for Laura, but I was hoping for an all new (or even old?) female mobster instead.  Is Sally Struthers' character dead?  Are Tonja Walker's characters alive somewhere?  I guess whoever Tracy is working with for the Deception story could be one of them because she's definitely not connected to this Cyrus story.

I didn't like Felicia propping up Stella at all.  I'd much rather Felicia stay a PI and do her mystery-solving work, instead.  I hope we end up with a serial killer working at GH and Felicia gets to be the one to figure it out!

The fashion, hair and make up team for GH is stepping up its game more consistently.  Jordan looked fabulous as usual, but Trina and Selina Wu looked stellar today, too.

I'm honestly confused about the Cyrus stuff because his dialogue is so obtuse. 

Why hasn't he told Laura about Nikolas?  And does the timeline work out that Austin saved Nikolas (did he do that when he told Ava that he was stashing the body)?

Is Cyrus's whole conversion a con?

It's why I suspected Cyrus was involved: he targeted Ava before, and it's the only reason why Mason would have had Nikolas: his involvement. Sally Struthers' character, Jennifer Smith, is alive and has been portrayed by Holly Gagnier since 2015. And Olivia Jerome has been stated, via the show (recently even), that she is still in Pentonville. But I don't see Walker returning....

Anyone who doesn’t agree with you is a “sockpuppet”.  Whatever, dude.  You are nobody.  

I am not a “sockpuppet”.  I’ve been here forever.  I just read more than post.

One, she is not a great recast.

Two, which couples don’t suck?  Because that’s all I see in the various places that I go to.  That all of the couples suck and don’t have any chemistry.  Which is true.

I don’t watch the show except for some episodes that are worthy.  I read recaps and if the episode is boring and/or full of characters I don’t care for, I delete without watching.  Why do I need to troll this board?  This place is not that important.

Since you repeatedly say all the couples suck and that none of them have chemistry, it's fair to ask what you think chemistry is? What soap couples (on GH or elsewhere) have had chemistry in your eyes?

 

Do you listen to yourself? This place "is not that important" and yet you're here, complaining because someone insulted you. You also claim no couples have chemistry and follow that up with "I delete without watching" if the episode has characters you don't care for.

Since you think NONE of the couples has chemistry, that means you must delete just about every episode. Make it make sense.

Shout out to Shawn Reeves, Costume Designer!

If they could've gotten her back to the studio or even if they could've had a crew shoot her at home & edit her in, they would've done so for GH60. They had plans & contingencies & every time they had something set up, some event would happen & prevent it. Er, some event did happen & prevent it. Specifically for GH60 it was a fall & she bruised her face so it couldn't be hidden.

Well, I'll take shirtless Dante (and Dante/Sonny scenes) anyway I can get them, but lord has playing catch-up on this show been a bore. 

 

RIP Anna's house. I hope it doesn't mean FH's going anywhere.

 

It has been nice to finally seem storylines I was interested in starting to surface. Which for me was...

 

LAURA'S HUNT FOR NIKOLAS. Perhaps it's because I have no idea where that storyline is going to go. I mean...are we getting another Nik recast or...?? I was just glad to see Laura. Not only that, but see her AND Kevin on a misadventure.

 

ANNA AND THE ???. I haven't at all liked any of the story about Anna's CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER Black Widow secrets reveal storyline. Or just Anna being...unAnna like. But slowwwwly, the story of someone trying to take her out has gotten intriguing for me. And now she done lost the house. I do wonder if it is a past person or one of Valentin's secrets. Or the mob boss after Sonny.

 

LOVE IN THE AFTERNOON. I've been liking the happy couples. And have not been bored with them. Kevin with Laura on an adventure. BLQ/Chase and the pool. What little of Sprina we been getting. Ned...I mean Eddie...having that moment with Olivia. The aforementioned Dante/Sam scene. It...has been nice.

Tracy is still LOVE.

 

And I can't understand why we are getting a Maxie BEBE'S KIDS storyline.

I think that the version of Nikolas that Marcus Columna played was an impostor. Laura and Kevin will find the real Nikolas in Europe and bring him back to Port Charles. Impostor Nikolas will be rescued from Mason but then shown to be an impostor. The return of the real Nikolas will give Nikolas and Spencer a fresh start. Ava's marriage to the impostor Nikolas will be shown to have been a fraud, so the divorce settlement that gave her WIndamere will be thrown out. The Cassadines will possess Windamere again. Ace will be given a DNA test and will be revealed to be Spencer's son.

Friday's lackluster cliffhanger had me questioning recent preemptions.  Because, I don't know how it works anymore with broadcast and streaming. 

Is GH off by a couple of days, so we are seeing an episode that was originally planned for a Wednesday? 

Or, do the pre-empted episodes play on Hulu, so they stay on track and this was just a dull Friday?

Frank should bring back the fab writing duo with Jean and Shelly. They understood the history andwrite fabulous umbrellas storylines. They could kickstart and upboot the show. I loved their writing era. It was one of the longest in gh history which shows u how mjch they did awesomeness for the show. We would be so lucky to have them spinning and weaving new tales for us. they have pioneer daytime dramas

    • On the other hand, I still find episodes of TV with people smoking in front of babies shocks me into nervous giggles.
    • Word of advice... you have to view the show without the 2025 lenses.. which means you need to 86 the misandry.
    • i love reading other posters alternate takes and scenarios. Yours would have really upped the tension.
    • Amanda is not my cup of tea. That's all I'm gonna say. She's repetitive and childish. She acts like a brat with her parents and has this constant "I'm not satisfied or happy" look on her face. The actress is okay in my opinion. I'm not impressed by anything I've seen her do so far. But she's okay.  BUT Amanda's repetitive scenes with Sam are the ones that I want to fast-forward the most. They just have 2  topics they like to talk about... and it's always "You are infringing on my right to be a powerful career woman! I need to be outside dating men for a job, so I can WORK and prove I'M NOT A RICH GIRL ONLY!" and he's like "You and your family are buying me a career and I don't want it! I WANT TO BE ABLE TO STRUGGLE and be poor and you guys ARE denying me the opportunity by giving it all on a silver platter" This is their main storyline for me... and it's just annoying when it's the same every single episode. It's a fake struggle that I don't buy. These people are so spoiled by this point and have everything... don't make me suffer listening to them bicker how amazing their life is, so they are unhappy about that. Just a personal view. I'm not saying THIS IS the situation. My view is also restricted, since I'm only 4-5 months into the episodes. 
    • It's shocking to see Steffy look down on anyone. She was the new generation HO for years. I mean... she was nasty and using sex to seduce married-engaged-in-relationship-men all the time. She was embracing it fully. Bradley was accenting on the fact that Taylor's daughter had become Brooke 2. I remember how disgusting it was when she was using Hope's virginity to her advantage and offering to f-ck the guys that wanted Hope. It was ABSURDLY nasty.  Then couple of years ago Bradley decided we should forget about it and made Steffy BECOME her grandmother. IN AN INSTANT. There was no build up to it. Which aged the f-ck out the character and made her unbearable. Because it's one thing to see an actual matriarch, older woman doing these things, being a moral judge... but it's complete joke to see the ex-ho acting like this. Ex-ho that is still incredibly young and has no right acting like she is better that anyone or... a moral JUDGE. Steffy and Hope's personalities got swapped!!! That's the irony of it. So any time these gang-style of fans come attacking Hope... for acting like a "slut"... I pinch myself - their HEROINE Steffy was doing this HARCORE. Are these people oblivious or just pretending not to remember. How can you stan a moral judge... that attacks "sluts" and also stan the same type of behavior you are attacking... years ago. How does this happen. But I repeat myself at this point.  I agree with everything you said 100000 percent. It's the truth. At least in my eyes. 
    • The Amanda pregnancy was a blunder. Amanda and Sam were AW's best bet for a starcrossed supercouple. Young love destined to be turn apart by outside forces and misunderstandings . Battling for years to finally get together. Instead AW had them married and pregnant within a year.  
    • It is his fatal flaw.  He's smart, cute, and loyal.  But, a total chauvinist pig.  We're looking through a 2025 lens, but April's from a wealthy family, (that she recently met), she should be allowed to contribute to her own home. Especially if Draper is going to work for the Crime Commission, rather than joining Mike's private law firm (did I get that part correct?) How about smoking while the baby is in the room?  It all looks nuts by current standards. Raven was married to Geraldine's son Kevin, but had an affair with Logan (whom Geraldine also considered like a son). Raven got pregnant by Logan, then Kevin died (long story short).  The part you need to know is that Raven was bored being a mother to Jamey (check out my member name).  So, she starts going out to Elliott's club and leaving Jamey with April.  Logan is not happy that Raven keeps leaving their baby all around town.  And thus, Geraldine is not pleased with Raven either. Draper and Logan are frequently rivals in the courtroom.  FYI --- Draper is also Raven's step-brother (her mother married his father). Raven's real name is Charlotte. But, one day [she] was sitting on the lawn and saw this beautiful black bird with shiny wings fly by. [She] wanted to be that bird. So beautiful. So free. With beautiful black wings…"    @chrisml you'll hear that story soon, and I envy you getting to see it the first time.
    • There is a time... till the old storyline is cleaning up... where it's still kinda annoying. For me it was. That's a personal opinion. But in 10-20 episodes more... you'll find yourself enthralled. It's not even begun. I'm so glad to hear your reviews! And excited of what's to come for you! 
    • Carly also has Nikki (Nicholas) with Lawrence. The easiest way to remember Chelsea is to think about how she was buried, stillborn, premature in a swamp and came back to life.  Or you can just remember her running over Bo/Hope's kid Zack.  Kind of ballsy to name her kid Issac if you ask me lol.
    • That's right Anita! Let her have it!
