You can't have these crappy endings and expect people to want to watch the next episode. 

Agree.  This is May Sweeps. There is at least a wedding coming. Where are the cliffhangers or scenes that lead to a coda that makes you want to see tomorrow?

Thank you for the information.

Also guilty of being a viewer.

 

 

But even with covid precautions, I remember them doing a pretty good job of getting plenty of people and a good amount of the town, too. Though was the reveal and the coming together of Sprina the only major stories though?

 

 

If what you're getting at is that it was a good wedding, then, I agree. My only beef was that they kept giving the mic to smiling Jack Drewfus who when he is in a tux & has a microphone in his hand, I can only see Product Spokesperson or Game Show Host!!!

Portia in her gown was so lovely!!! 

If there were other stories, I cannot think what. You?

Boy, that was not at all my takeaway from Anna reading Carly the riot act. I mean she booked a driver to take her to the prison the next instant after Anna stopped chewing her out. 

I loved the scene, but I thought Anna approached Carly completely wrong. 

I was glad that Jordan brought Trina up to date.

Frankly, I felt that Trina expressed what the fans are feeling about what Laura is up to.

See? I might have taken that from that scene if the first thing that came to mind was...'Wait! Carly drove? Carly almost never drives? Lord...' It's been a running joke for decades about Carly and her inability to drive so it probably went over my head. 

 

For me, Anna need not have worried about her approach. I thought she did fine. Carly...is gonna Carly. lol. So yep...back to prison to get in trouble she goes.

 

Same. re: Jordan with the heads-up.

 

How you feel about Trina is how I felt last week when it was Jordan talking to Laura about it.

God, I hate him for doing that. lol. What a difference a few years make.

 

Portia really was. And BK stole those scenes.

 

I don't think there was. None that I can remember off hand.

Not technically true. The Hulu part, I mean.

Despite Disney+ having more overall subscribers worldwide, Hulu itself actually has more subscribers in the United States than Disney+. Additionally, based on available data (via Nielsen and other sources I've been in contact with), Hulu actually has a higher viewership churn than Disney+. That doesn't mean they won't fold Hulu within Disney+ at some point (likely to expand the reach of the original content library).

The Hulu brand as a standalone service/app isn't something Disney will/should just get rid of anytime soon, especially with the Hulu+Live TV plan making close to $400 million for the company every month based on just 4 million subscribers.

Thank you @Errol, this stuff is good to know. Now, one question, in this context, what does "churn" mean? Thanks in Advance! 

Ok, what the hell was Kristina wearing? 

And Lois??? Yikes. Speaking as an Italian, I can honestly say that no Italian mother would wear a monstrosity like that to their child’s wedding 😂😂

I did like a lot of the sweet family and friends moments though, especially the ones with Tracy. And I loved the bro hug between Spinelli and Jason 😊😂😂

As for newbie Gio, if they’re just gonna waste him with Joss, the actor would have been better off as a Cam recast.

I'm half Italian but for some reason it didn't bother me.😂

I thought it was hideous. If I showed it to the women in my family, they’d faint 😂😂😂

Hehe.

Things that were said today that I love! 

Kristina: You have to be charming!

Sonny: I'm always charming. 

Kristina: Then you have to be EXTRA charming! I need all the help I can get. I need Natalia to think I am good for Ali!

 

Tracy: You're a very good father, a wonderful father.

Ned: I haven't always been. But, I do try.

Tracy: It shows! I'm thinking of things in your life that I missed. Your wedding to Lois. I'm so sorry. It was my loss. 

 

Lois (to Brook Lynn): I don't think anyone has ever been so beautiful. I want you to look at yourself in the mirror. Say thank you to yourself ... for knowing what you wanted & for waiting to find it & then when you found it, ... This is the last time you'll be my little girl. 

 

Spinelli: Yes, I am somewhat nervous. I shouldn't be. We were almost married at one point. 

Anna: You & Maxie are in a period of rediscovery & that can be scary but it can also be exciting!

Spinelli: Georgie would say it's having all the feels. (A beat.) You're Maxie's godmother! I want you to know that my intentions are nothing but honorable. 

Anna: I would have expected no less from you.

 

Lois: I feel nostalgia, pride, happiness. Being your mother has been the best thing that has ever happened to me. 

Brook Lynn: I will always need my mom.

 

Ned (to Olivia): I had a surprisingly good moment with my mother. Her relationship with Brook Lynn is really opening her up to her feelings! 

 

Tracy (to Brook Lynn): You believe in yourself. You believe in your instincts & your beliefs. And you found Chase so early. It took me so long to find Luke. You, my darling granddaughter are spectacular inside and out. (Tracy gives her a bracelet that had originally belonged to Lila.) You are like my mother in that you see the glass half full. Lila was a realist but she looked at reality and she saw reason for hope. You do that, too. I do not. I adore you beyond measure.

AH! To me it was just that her instantaneous reaction was to do what Anna had just said not to do.

Yeah. I don't mean it as a criticism of Anna. I just think that it is possible to handle Carly but very few people know that.

Right. I get that, too.

Color me confused. You think Drew is not as bad that way? Is it because he's less duded up being Scruffy Drew? Hmm. Maybe so. If so, he should definitely keep the stubble. I mean Game Show Host is NOT a good look for him!

Portia really was. And BK stole those scenes.

Someone was saying, comparing her now to when she was on PSSN, that she doesn't seem to age yet somehow she seems more beautiful than she did on the other soap.

I think we got it. 

I am counting on this wedding being as good or better than Portia's!!! 

Churn is when people subscribe to a streaming service and then cancel    Once the show they are a fan of ends and they only subscribe again when the show returns.

I felt kind of weird watching real life exes with their fake kid at an imaginary wedding. At least some history was mentioned today.
