I’ve always been a KeMo fan since her PC days, but the past few years I haven’t felt very enthused by her or her stories. Ever since Dante’s shooting, she has really brought it and is doing some amazing work. So glad Sam is not just falling back in line with Jason like Carly and Michael are.

Well remember, this is in a world where FBI guys are worse than mob bosses and reporting a crime is worse than committing a crime

I like Dex and it would be great to get him away from nasty ass Joss but at the same time, it would serve a lot of people right if Sonny or somebody killed him.

Just another day in the hamlet of Port Charles, New York ... where there is an extremely high incidence found of amnesiacs & villains who have to be hospitalized with brain tumors & all manner of unusual psyche-affecting diseases ... 

I can't think of anyone besides Sonny who wants to kill him! Do you have some insight to add?!!

Burton hasn’t consistently allowed this much emotion in Jason since his Robin and baby Michael days. If he’s going to be here, at least he is trying again. Maybe MB needs a couple years off to truly appreciate the job he has.

This is very refreshing to watch people question Sonny and Jason and not have the whole town serve the usual excuses- Jason must have had a reason! Especially Sam, those were great scenes.

This episode was more choppy and similar to what the show was like before the new writing regime. The script was more in line, but the scenes were chopped up. This is the first episode that the old style was so prevalent. Possibly due to the breakdown to scripting process, which might explain why they felt they needed a change. Still bad optics. Breakdowns do strongly dictate pacing though!

I think I am going to dislike Danny, he has the air of old school Sonny/Jason worship about him, and that’s not what I want to see in 2024.

I am absolutely loving how much freshness & energy Burton is bringing every day, every scene. Loved his reactions to news, baby Amelia, Bobbie's death, Britt's death, note from Monica & he's been gone such a long time & has so much on his mind but he is unfailingly thoughtful like congratulating Brook Lynn yesterday. 

Speaking of Brook Lynn's visit to the prisoner, AS taped with SB on his first day back, so there is an example of how wildly they tape out of order. That no doubt means that the first things they taped were all of the scenes in the Interrogation Room. What a way to jump into the deep end of the pool just the second he returned. 

Noticed immediately that it was the old style not the new style. The breakdown yesterday was written by Shannon Peace. I realized yesterday that this was her first job. I had heard that when she was fired she was extremely upset & now that makes so much sense because it means it was her first time to get fired. How awful for her. Most writers in daytime have been through this all a time or two at the very least. 

Oh, sorry, Danny is a new favorite for me. I can see he is going to give Sam fits! 

About the whole cadre of relatively new tweens & teens, so everyone is calling for acting coaches & lessons & sure I see that, they are young, green, have much to learn but also they seem very talented & have been good in interviews & seem like really hard workers & let's face, Jake looks like Jason & Danny is so very pretty. It is hilarious that Aiden is worrying about whether his sourdough starter is going to work so he will have bread to feed people, such a nurturer. And also Aiden & Rocco look too much alike.

I think being on Days helped Steve a bit.  I know Harris isn't terribly deep or anything, but it still allowed Steve to do something a bit different and show some emotion.  It looks like he's trying to bring that to Jason and I like it.

I agree with everyone that hiring Dex at the PCPD is random, but I don't mind it.

I agree, Steve's done well. I've been surprised but pleased with this entire return arc so far. And again, the possibility that there are no clear romance options on the table for either Jason or Carly, together or separate, is curious and makes me wonder if PM/EK intend to dig deeper into each again first.

I don't mind Danny being the brash one with an inflated sense of his father and that world. It makes sense to me that Jason and Sam would end up with the worst possible version of their past selves based on their years of glorifying the mob and each other, even though Sam grew up.

And yes, I would give Sonny at least 6-9 months off. But Mo would never sit for that nor would the network.

The acting and dialogue was so bad in those Jake/Danny fight scenes. Teenage boys don’t speak like that. 

I think I spit out the water in my mouth when Aiden barged in with, “Stop! You guys are family! Don’t do this to each other!” As if the two were fighting over his affection.

    • They're neither great nor terrible AFAIK, but it is more a question of the streaming numbers in this day and age vs. actual TV airings. The Chibnall era reminded me much more of the crisis years, but I do think it's a very real possibility now as well due to the streaming bubble collapse affecting the show and its prospects.
    • ANYTHING to get her off the screen..she COULD have been interesting if she and Van had a few face offs..(there was a mild one of her going back to work...but I wanted something meatier "Bitch, I am Vanessa Chamberlain and I don't take advice from someone who followed the..career path you did!" I did like Alex's outright disdain for her.
    • Thanks @Vee for the commentary.    I haven’t even watched this season yet after  I couldn’t get past the couple episodes last season…like it was too Disneyified for my taste, although I did think it was a least better than the Chibnall era (but so is a lot of things). I’ll probably go back and binge it now. Hoping this season ends on a high note. I did read the ratings are terrible. As it stands I’m beginning to feel like what long time DW fans felt with S26 in 1989.
    • Yes, they are all on contract. Next.
    • I also never understood Alex's friendship with Sonni or keeping the secret of Marah's paternity.  Not exactly heartbroken about Ms. Sally being ushered to the Hereafter.

        I'm sorry but I'm a glutton for punishment. Would love to see this woman OWNING the canvas. Telling off Leslie who tells her she's the head b!tch.
    • And in case anyone is confused; Rusty was hired by HB to work undercover and infiltrate some gang sabotaging Lewis.

    • 40 years ago this month, the best and most pivotal television season of the 1980s came to an end. Here’s how the rookie breakout and the four soaps wrapped up the season. The Cosby Show – Cliff’s Birthday (season 1 finale, May 9): Clair and the children surprise Cliff by planning a birthday celebration around a Lena Horne concert. Dallas – Deliverance (May 10): Bobby seeks evidence to free Jenna. The Ewings go confidently to court. Mitch asks Lucy to move in. J.R. wants Sue Ellen hospitalized. Dynasty - The Heiress (May 8): Krystle learns Daniel is dead. King Galen courts Alexis. Amanda sees Michael with Elena. Sammy Jo learns Krystle will handle her money and is furious about the decision. Knots Landing – One Day in a Row (May 9): Ben aids in Karen's search for Val's babies. Mack replies to the governor's offer. Ruth uses Abby to break up Laura and Greg. Falcon Crest – Cold Comfort (May 10): Fugitive Lance desperately searches for Lorraine, who lies comatose in a San Francisco hospital. Robin returns with startling news.   Dallas – Swan Song (season 8 finale, May 17): Jenna's release from jail depresses Pam. Sue Ellen thinks she saw Dusty. Donna tells Ray about her pregnancy. Cliff consults an attorney about an annulment. Lucy and Mitch remarry. Sudden tragedy strikes Bobby. Dynasty – Royal Wedding (season 5 finale, May 15): Sammy Jo makes her roommate look like Krystle. Elena reassures Amanda about her upcoming marriage. Terrorists come for the royal wedding of Prince Michael and Amanda. Falcon Crest – Confessions (May 17): Melissa confesses to framing Lance. Pamela gives Maggie proof that Richard bribed Judge Holder. Connie reveals her love for Chase. Knots Landing – Vulnerable (May 16): Ruth wants Abby to break up Greg and Laura. Karen makes a breakthrough in her hunt for Val's babies. Joshua hampers Val's recovery. Knots Landing – The Long and Winding Road (season 6 finale, May 23): Abby fears being linked to the disappearance of Val's babies. Laura leaves Greg. The Fishers are determined to keep Val's babies. Falcon Crest – The Avenging Angel (season 4 finale, May 24): Lorraine dies. Angela throws a victory party. Cassandra's mother arrives. An explosion rips through Richard's house. 1984/85 was the season the primetime soaps pulled out all the stops to out-do each other and everything culminated in the spring. May 1985 was the zenith of primetime soaps as a genre.
