I would suggest that it's not per se a truthiness question. I believe he almost always or even always has some agenda behind whatever he's saying & we of course have no way of knowing what those many agendas might be. So his point of view dances around like a point of light. The only time I think "That's it. That is his core." is when he tweets about Irna or how he writes or Bill Bell, etc. The rest of the time, to me at least, he is working the room. 

I've been sporting this amazing picture her husband took of her. His tribute, so nice. It's lovely seeing someone so in love with someone so lovable.

I was right about the baby name! Guess Uncle Ron and I have a similar style

Could have done without Sarah’s nasty ass attitude though. That look she shot at Maggie after she asked if there was something else she wanted to tell Xander made me want to curse her out. In this case, I don’t think it’s the writing that’s the problem, I think it’s the portrayal.

The same can be said for RSW/Alex. He’s not a romantic lead, no matter what the show tries to force feed us. 

I am intrigued by this mystery surrounding Victor, and also what it could mean for all these characters. Theresa adds another layer to this storyline that could be interesting to see. It also ties in Stephanie, who I was glad to see have scenes with her cousin today. Gimme a Chad/Stephanie/Alex/Theresa/Brady/Chloe/Xander/Sarah/Rex mess!

As for Maggie, I hope this all turns out to be a scheme and that she and Victor really were married.

Why did Dick Van Dyke need to turn out to be John's dad (having apparently swapped dogtags with Jigsaw)? It's not like he's going to keep recurring on the show for years to come. Just make him the long-lost Horton (Tommy?) and call it a day.

Victoria Margaret, very nice. 

I don't see anything wrong with Sarah right now. And, of course, it is way soapy to have this secret paternity issue planted. If the show goes on & on, there can be plenty of opportunities for it to be winked at as well as even an ultimate opportunity for it to come out as a reveal. I'm almost always for that kind of soapiness in the writing. 

Completely agree. 

Also agree but it doesn't look like Maggie, Justin, Bonnie & anyone else being thrown out of the K Mansion will have any relief any time soon. On the plus side, we must be gonna have Louise Sorel for a while & that to me is a big plus.

I'm no fan of Jen Lilley's, but I have to admit that she kills it as Theresa. She's really great in that role, and I think we're in for a THUD when Emily O'Brien takes over shortly.

O'Brien is a good actor, but she's not only replacing someone who's crushing the role, but playing another role just episodes after leaving the part of Gwen.

I tuned in for Victor's funeral, and will admit Jen Lilley is good as Theresa.

I didn't know it was confirmed O'Brien is taking over...

Jenn Lilly is a joy to watch. Theresa seems to help connect multiple characters and the actress is a joy to watch.

It was such a huge mistake not letting her film the 13 week run in the 3 weeks she was available.

Honestly the John/DVD dad story played out in an episode. DVD had a few episodes, but John found out DVD was in the same army unit as Jigsaw in the final scene of one episode and then the next episode we saw the entire reveal happened.  The fastest retcon of parentage ever.

    • Some of those 1988-ish episodes are up. I'm not really sure she did much else. I think I recall something along the lines of she and Rusty had been suspended over the investigation of Nicky, George's supplier. I'm not sure she even gets some kind of goodbye. I think she just disappeared when Pam Long returned.
    • I did not care, just clarifying that was the discussion point. If there are ice cream bars in Statesville I am sure there is a full spa
    • Seeing Peter Bergman (Jack) and Melody Thomas Scott (Nikki) act opposite each other really makes me mad that their short-lived reunion in 2012 was just that... short-lived. I've always loved the Jack/Nikki pairing.
    • No.  I recall there was also a mention about how distracting it was EOB's Gwen wasn't wearing nail polish as well.  That it was someone's pet peeve. And, yes, the fact characters can have a manicure in prison is the wildest continuity issue here.
    • Can anyone remember Mary Ellen Stuart's run as Jenny? I'm trying to fill in the cracks for missing stuff that we overlooked.  Bulletpoints:  * Dated Ross * Rusty's police partner * Directly responsible for Dinah coming forward about George Stewart (Cam's father)
    • But that's not weird... nail polish is allowed in prisons via commissary. Same with general makeup, haircuts, and hair colouring products.
    • This is DAYS, the show that said you could brainwash anyone with simple kitchen appliances.  An actor's nail polish or lack thereof should be the least of our concerns, lol.
    • It was not that she wasn't wearing nail polish, it is that she managed to get a manicure in prison
    • "We're Knot Done Yet": the name of this lovely podcast AND what JVA tells her plastic surgeon at every appointment. In other news, Michele Lee is reminding me more and more of my old music teacher from elementary school, and I couldn't STAND that bitch.
    • I apologize if this has been covered already, but does anyone know whether Douglas Marland was HW'ing by that point?  If he was, then I see what he meant when he said (in so many words) that he had inherited a mess when he started at GH.  Aside from Alan and Monica, none of that material seems very promising.  The story with Mark Dante and the Corbins is the wrong kind of predictable (y'know, the kind where you know what's going to happen, but you just don't give a crap?), the stuff with Scotty and Laura is cute but toothless, I don't know WHAT the hell Gina and Steve Carlson's character are arguing about and Rick Webber has to be the dumbest man alive not to see David Hamilton twirling his invisible moustache over how to make a killing off Lamont Corbin's declining health.  (By the way, "LAMONT CORBIN"?  What is this, "The Shadow"?  And "Corbin Limited" sounds like some jive I'd hear over on Y&R.) In a way, it's kind of like watching today's GH, right down to the dialogue that's serviceable and pushes plot along but says nothing about the characters' inner lives.
