The only flashback so far is a random ass one with Alexis? WTF

Not even one with Laura and Bobbie yet? This is a miss. 

There was one with LW where Bobbie told her she was a good mother. Very brief. Blink. Missed it. Start of a recent episode. So, that makes for a total of two?!!! 🤔👊🫰🤬

Good point about the Sonya Eddy treatment. That was well done.

I'm sure someone will have a figure but what would the residual payment be for a short scene-a couple of hundred dollars?

Surely there is the budget for that?

It's been a long time since JFP and Guza just dismissed any offscreen deaths. This team did decent memorials for Sonya Eddy/Epiphany and others in recent years. I wasn't surprised they went for it with Jackie. I'm not thrilled with the current level of flashbacks or returns, but I will give them Day 2 to impress me more as this is supposedly a 2-episode event.

I think GH did well with Epiphany/SE. I also thought the memorials for Gail Brown, Peter Hansen and John Reilly were decent, even if the plotlines surrounding them (a mini-WSB caper, Gail's treasure hunt, etc) were goofy. With Sean it was a labor of love built around Reilly's IRL daughter as Sean's daughter, and it was sweet.

Didn't they show a supposed Finn flashback for Epiphany that was actually a scene she had with Silas?

I will never stop laughing if they did, lol.

Nope!

Honestly I think this is the best this writing regime could come up with. They rely on exposition a lot to fill time, very tell not show. Its why so much of the drama falls flat day to day and why I found the strike team episodes much easier to watch. Scripts always feel like they read some cliff notes on character history as opposed to really knowing and understanding the dynamics and write to them. Jackie deserves better than this

Surprised Scorpio wasn't there.

Lord 26 pages!

 

I don't even think my heart is ready for this funeral at all.

Same.. I was surprised about it the minute the picture with the attending people got out.. I mean Scorpio has appeared so randomly over the years yet he can‘t be bothered with Bobbie‘s funeral and stuff? Ok 🤣

If it were a budget thing, I would have picked Scorpio over a half-dozen of the players: Felix, Kristina, Trina, Felix, Drew, Sam, Alexis

Yes, Paul, you are on the right track. A residual could be a few dollars, or it might be a hundred dollars, but it would not be a thousand dollars! So, why can't they afford 20 or 30 of them?!!!

TBH, I'm surprised GH is acknowledging JZ's passing at all.  I know I shouldn't be surprised, but I wouldn't have put it past them to have ignored real-life events and kept Bobbie alive but off-screen and out of town with the attitude of "Jackie/her fans wouldn't have wanted it any other way."  (Besides, how long was it before this show acknowledged Shell Kepler's passing even obliquely?)

You mean like BOLD does with OG Sally Spectra after Darlene Conley passed

No off on a tropical island somewhere 🤣

The actress who played BJ as a girl, appears as an adult reporter in today's episode.  What an interesting story she had about Bobbie, I'll leave it as a surprise for those who haven't watched yet.

There is more tomorrow, more remembrances.

I'm a mess.  I haven't cried this much in a long time.

Kristina Wagner is just amazing.
