If anything, the Montaghue will have a trail, and Gladys will be back to testify and then be gone, again.

You continue to like [most] things everyone complains about.

Cyrus has semi-run their course, however, Cyrus is still ten-times the mobster Sonny ever has been. Hell, even Carly was more effective, haha. I'm more so over seeing characters IN prison. From my POV, prison should be an exit for a character with their actor.

My objection, as a feminist, is that Sonny got to make the final judgement on what happened to Gladys, and he even had the balls to make Sam leave the room.

Sam solved the case, she got Cody into the hospital, and arguably Sasha wouldn't have been saved without her.  She's also wealthy and powerful enough to threaten Gladys and make it stick.

I mean, if ever there was a case for character favoritism, it is this.  Sonny gets the totally unearned triumphant monologue about Gladys using Mike and shaming Brando.  Whereas, the one time that Sasha gets the upper hand, she immediately is portrayed as a victim once again.

Gladys was terrified. She thought Sonny was going to kill her. GOOD. Going back to her old life with no resources, literally the clothes on her back is going to be hell for her. GOOD. 

But, a week ago Miz Wu gave Gladys 24 hours to pay up. What's gonna happen there?

Sasha is finally free of torment & tormentors. Will she still be the Face of Deception? How bad is it going to be when she has a forensic accountant go over her assets? 

Cody Bell has redeemed himself. Will he let Mac know he's his son? 

Sam did GREAT! 

Dante did well, too, and he had to take off his black/white thinking cap. 

Montague will be charged & found guilty & do time & never be a doc again. 

I thought Sonny showed immense insight into Gladys as a user. 

Watching #GH on Hulu just a minute ago & Blaze just dropped into the bar & said, "Hey, Kristina!" with as much honey in her voice as anything could without being a bee! Be Still My Heart!

For anyone wondering what reruns aired this past week ...
As is typical for GH, when they air a rerun, it's from past few years,
containing characters/storylines that somewhat relate to what's currently airing.

Oct.  3rd and 4th 2023 aired reruns from May 2022:

(for anywhere that wasn't seeing the baseball game)
-- a repeat of Wednesday, May 4, 2022, episode #14969

I get the point of view and I agree, however, I don't think Sam nor Sasha could have instilled the fear into Gladys like Sonny did, knowing what Sonny does for a living. He just put that fear into Gladys to try him. So, I see the why of including Sonny. Do I wish it'd be more Sam/Sasha? Yes. I do.

Yeah, it could've been as simple as having Sam tell Sonny what the appropriate punishment should be, that would have given her more agency in the episode.

That's easier than questioning why female characters on GH aren't created to be able to instill fear unless they are romantically undesirable, like Heather or Selina.

      I think of Evan as a smarmy bast*rd. Maybe you'll like that description. You certainly have him pegged correctly since he is just a soldier following "Admiral" Iris's marching orders.

      So far the only interest I've seen from Evan to Amanda has been listening to Iris's orders to go and seduce her.  So far he hasn't been successful... but who knows. Amanda is unbearable at times. Entitled, spoiled... idiotic. Iris... so blatantly manipulating her and Amanda takes the bait. But I guess... when she gets in trouble... she'll have a chance to learn. That's what makes these shows so interesting.    Oh, no, don't worry. You haven't ruined a thing. Evan has not been on my radar that much... he was not one of the characters I was caring particularly... so nothing much has been changed for me. I don't think he has the stuff to ruin Rachel's life. He's just a pretty guy that can follow orders. Iris on the other hand... is dangerous.

        P.S Maybe Evan will surprise me. Who knows.

      The show has gone back to 10/10 entertainment! I'm glad that I was right in feeling that what were experiencing were growing pains. I'm sure they are not over yet, but I'll know that we always comeback to quality drama. I think it's going to be a hell of ride (in a good way) from this moment on. BTG has that magic that not a lot of shows have. I'll update more... when I'm done catching up.

      So very glad to hear this. Yesterday I suddenly thought; OMG, what about spoilers, have I just  ruined things for Maxim in getting carried away with interest in Evan, who was so well-written & well-acted. BTW, your fan review of this episode was a sight for eyes that had not seen one of these for a little bit too long, LOL!!!  Mitch is also fascinating to me but in his case it's because he was all in with Janice & her nefarious plan & then he did this turnabout we've mentioned & he basically got off scot-free.

      It does seem cheap and lazy for this show to have just one family. Passions was heavily criticized but it was nicely structured with a total of four families.

      I think it was definitely a surprising reveal in the storyline. I had a hard time appreciating Evan because I couldn't get behind his interest in Amanda. But that's because I never thought Sandra Ferguson made her a compelling character (although to give her credit she occasionally had decent emotional scenes with Mac or Rachel).

      I'll even go further... I'll make her re-think BeLief and create a new patent. Brooke needs stuff to do. Anything other than beg or be in her panties. We need her to be creative. But sadly Bradley has a very low opinion of these characters. To him Brooke is nothing more than sex and scandal... or a pathetic doormat. Ridge is nothing more than a chauvinist pig that needs to pit women against each other to feel like A MAN and Steffy is nothing more than her father's guard-dog. I don't even want to open my mouth about Hope. She is such a fiasco in my opinion... I will not suffer if they kill her off. Bradley pooped on her character and now it's too late to fix it. Annika is great and I would hate to see her go, but slutty Hope was not her thing. The vibe was missing.

      I've seen Jason interact with Mitch and annoy him. That's as far as I recall. I didn't even have a slight idea that Evan had a vendetta against Rachel... That came as a surprise to me. I thought Evan was Iris's dog and that's it. Now he's definitely more interesting.

      Thanks for these. I can't recall -- did Evan's vendetta have any position on Mitch, or was it all about Rachel? @Maxim have you seen any Frames intreracting with Mitch in any way?
