I'm in an optimistic mood today, so I will say that I look forward to the day when they SORAS Ace, and Laura and Kevin have to deal with the spawn of Esme and Nik.  It seems like Laura was missing from big chunks of Lucky and Lulu's life, so it will be fun to see her struggle with child-rearing at an advanced age.

Also, TIL that Jeff Kober aka Cyrus was once married to Kelly Cutrone of The City and Kell on Earth fame.

WAIT! WHAT???? Just when I was starting to feel that rushed feeling about Jason's return...we got THAT twist. Let me hit myself in the head because I really should have thought about that. And just ironically as I was sitting here watching Anna with Molly thinking how is the Jason/Dante stuff so weird to her given her history of being a double agent. It should be clear he might be. And that THAT happened? lol. But why would John be doing all this? So...intriguing still. I guess I'm happy that it was a quick gradual, but I liked it was gradual the town finding out that Jason's alive.

I liked how Danny has been roped into the whole Jason storyline. No wonder he got so much screentime before. Well-played. That said...I don't have access to DAYS and had only see pictures of SB's time over there. I always felt that tattoo was fake. But...it's REAL??? Lord Baby Jesus. That's all I'll say about that.

 

So happy to see these Lois/Sonny scenes. But as I've already said, I do like having Lois back and sticking around. At least until the wedding.

 

Also happy to see Blaze's mother still around as well. Let's see where that story goes.

 

Speaking of where stories are going...that Laura/Heather scene. I know it pre-dates my birth...but Laura and Heather were actually friends once? REALLY??? Why have the writers never tapped into that in all the Heather appearances over the last few years or so. I never knew.

 

Yes, I liked Ms. Wu sashaying into Curtis's bar. And giving Curtis the tea on the shooting. It's funny how that random shooting is turning into this big umbrella storyline. It's been a minute...perhaps Peter's last death?

 

Now I'm wondering if they are going to take Curtis's dad's storyline and give it a twist as well. 

 

ETA: I almost forgot. I had to hollered at the swiftness in which the writers broke up Drew and Carly. I know everyone take about how Drew get treated when Jason comes around. And I was sure he would get thrown under the bus again. But the fact Drew was dogging his own self off, but telling the truth about how they treat him when Jason is around so he cut the cord QUICK. I couldn't help but hollered. As if the writers read these pages.

I admit that I like having Charlotte around because she gives Elizabeth's kids something to do. And I was liking her story under the scab writers. But with the new writers NOW here...well...is that Lulu on the phone???

I definitely would like to see more of Rocco for sure. Which again could include Charlotte, too.

 

We know I love all of Elizabeth's kids.

I would say in time. Something the writers apparently realized. And are doing the gradual (and old school to be blunt) thing...as they should if they want anyone to be interested in seeing teens. I don't expect big story...YET...it is not even summer hehe, but at least a presence enough that we as an audience get used to them. And THEN...story. Again...old school. Which of course was my point.

 

I agree about older teens as well. But again...in time.

I never want to see Luke and Laura in a scene together ever again.  Ever. 

I like Laura with Kevin and I don't think they're boring at all. They feel real to me.

I don't think the adventure thing was the real Laura.  That was simply Laura-with-Luke.

I think Mayor Collins is the real Laura, and I stand by that.

My main objection the writing for Laura in the past year: how she was stupidly defending Esme.  Laura should be more savvy than that.

TBF, Laura still has her adventure moments and it still feels organic.

 

For example...her reintroduction per GF's schedule as a disguised nun (with Kevin as back-up which I thought was cute and ties into Laura's adventure past) to save Valentin from Victor's Charlotte trip.

Thank you!  And wouldn't you know, on the very same day I made that comment, guess who's playing husband and wife on a "Murder, She Wrote" rerun?  Yep, Dean Butler and Genie Francis.  (I totally forgot about that episode, lol.)

Me neither.

Kevin, the black whisperer, is a nice steady presence and I like that Laura is the lead in that relationship (seriously it's so rare on this show for the woman to be the driving force of story in a relationship) so I've accepted that they're in it for the long haul.

I think it's definitely the most effective use of her, especially when she doesn't have any of her children on canvas. Typically without much family around you get placed on the backburner but as mayor Laura gets to consistently be part of the action without having to be in constant personal crises.

Don’t worry, Dex. You can do so much better than that subhuman skank

Idk about this storyline. Joss always knew what life Dex was a part of. Had to have known that Sonny could’ve asked him to kill someone at any time. Plus, she’s been an obsessive psychopath over him ever since she’s known him. Trying to kill Cyrus is the straw that breaks the camels back?? Please 

She’s insane. And I hope she’s hurting right now because she totally deserves it

    • That's on Kimmer. As someone posted above...she was offered roles in pilots but she would be part of an ensemble or supporting. She didn't want that so she came back to GL. I don't know what she thought would happen..someone offering her "Here's Kimmer!" or The "Zimmer Comedy Powerhouse Hour" variety show..but her housefrau fans did not have the same pull in HW as they did on the soaps. Forbes and Watros knew that you had to take small parts to get noticed ands start a career in primetime. I know she was in consideration for the wife in Evening Shade, but when you go up against Marilou Henner, the soap diva looses. I could see her frustrated in a role like that, where she has to be the understanding wife with a bit of sass, but she could have made it work, if it wasnt for her huge ego.  I think it would have been an issue haveing all the powerhouse comedy actors surrounding...(lets face it..Alice Ghostly woudl have wiped the floor with her...) but it would have been a good launching padd.
    • Oh good, so I don't have to wait too long haha. I'm glad she cares about seeing Bill graduate. I'm guessing I'm in for a bumpy ride between Bill and Matt, if he's going to be his caretaker? Who else could it be, maybe Josh?

    • Maeve makes a few sporadic appearances, but returns full-time the next spring/summer. She's back in time to see Bill and Michelle graduate, although she skulks around town and wasn't going to tell anyone she was alive. She comes back wearing this HUGE hat---which was a throwback to the old Vanesaa. lol.
    • Aww, yeah it's very heartbreaking and I mostly enjoyed the Nola/Vanessa scenes because they finally let their walls down and came together in a beautiful moment. So Nola was at the hospital already and bumped into Vanessa, who had MRI papers that fell out of her hand and Nola went down to pick them up and asked her what was going on. Later, Vanessa confided in her about her disease. Then, Nola told Zachary on the beach (he prodded her and already alluded to knowing something was going on with Van), and then Vanessa found out she told him and got a little upset. Now, however, Nola is strangely absent while everyone is mourning her death. I'm curious if Nola will actually tell people about her MRI results. I would assume so. Only Nola, Rick, Roger and Zachary know anything, although there is the MRI results letter from the mail that everyone has missed seeing at home. I'm sure it'll all come out at some point. But... I just saw the next episode and the opening already cut Vanessa out and added Dahlia and Zachary. I guess Maeve is gone for a long time

       That will break my heart seeing the town continue to mourn her and assume she's dead. I can't wait to see her return though, and I have to imagine feelings will be torn between loving that she's alive and being very angry she did all of this. While I hate what Vanessa is doing, I'm happy to hear it's not totally against her character. I think you're right, had Henry still been around, she wouldn't put him through this. I'm still surprised she is with Bill, though. I get her feelings on Matt, because she wants him to move on, but still very heartbreaking. I'm glad this was Maeve's choice to have a break vs. being fired.    Interesting, so I'm curious to see who they eventually pair Phillip with. They're flirting with a Phillip/Annie pairing, but I'm not sure if they'll go that route with the Jeva drama, her growing pill addiction, and Rick's past with her.  Ugh, yeah I'm so sad to see Bridget do a total 180 in the last couple weeks. She has always been a strong character from what I've seen, but now she's just bending over backwards to get Hart to love her and it reeks of desperation. Yeah, sure, this new Hart is eye candy, but I'm already tired of seeing Hart/Dinah have sex all over Springfield and the Cayman Islands haha.
    • Yes.  I remember them together during the early summer of 1986.  They didn't share scenes again for 30 years until 2017 because Carrie wasn't on the show when Anna returned during Sydney's kidnapping.
    • I can see Kim being that way. Well, Kyle didn't have to say yes. LOL. The suicide attempt feels plot-driven. I don't know if even Long could've made it work. She'd spent so much time trying to make Reva and Kyle into a couple, it feels odd to just have them give up. Not to mention how odd it is to have Maeve agree to marry him. Re Charita---surely they could've at least tried  finding clips with who was still there. Maybe they wouldn't have been "big" moments, but surely she'd interacted with Ross, Vanessa, and Henry. Vanessa had dated Ed, FCOL. But Mo and Rick were there---surely they could've bothered to find some clips of her with them (and they did interact a fair amount) and used them. And with Ed they could've found some shot of her talking to him and just not cut to whoever was playing Ed in the clip. That to me is what feels lazy---they had more than a year to figure it out, and they went with a bunch of photos. If you were sort of centering it on Rick anyway---then find clips with them and use 'em.
    • I definitely think it's time to write off Nina for good. I think her killing Drew might actually be a good idea. She could completely lose it after losing both Sasha and Willow and she ends up murdering Drew and eventually she gets caught and sent away to prison for a long time.
