That wallpaper screams HOMEOWNER MISTAKE.

It's as if someone said "It looks too bare and empty in here, so let's do some wallpaper!" Then they chose something pretty from a 4"x5" swatch. The trouble is, it looks hideous across the entire room.

I don't remember that Quartermaine entrance EVER looking good. Every makeover was in need of another makeover.

Here is the problem for me- I hate to lose Maura West. And at the same time, Ava only worked for me as the current version when she was allowed to be in a toxic relationship with Nikolas. A modern Alan and Monica. Otherwise, Ava had overstayed her welcome and was more than due for comeuppance.

I just read an online comment that said “Finn wasn’t on today so no point watching!” Bunch of likes. I will truly never understand the people that watch this show in 2024.

Yeah, I don't really mind if Ava gets a grand exit storyline. It could be great. But I don't trust the incoming team to do it well. And I also don't think it's a great look for the show to lose one of its few charismatic power performers at this point. Handled properly, Ava could continue to tear up the town and wreak havoc for at least a couple more years.

Of course I am enjoying the Kraze coverage. There's been so many times that were drought. But, even more than getting to see Kristina & Ali (Blaze) I am so liking the dialogue & what I hope is some character growth for Kristina. I suspect we would agree that she could use it. Kristina can't just stay stuck stupid, selfish, self-centered. It's way too many words that begin with S. 

And, Vee, either Ignore me or don't, but quit saying you do & then quoting me or giving me one of your lectures "for my own good". You say I do things & then describe things you do. That's called projection. Enough already. 

Today was Carly's only appearance in 2 weeks, but, boy, was it ever good! To Anna, Jack Brennan & I do not have the kind of "stab-yourself-to-get-to-see-me kind" of a relationship you describe. To Sonny, you blame Jason, Michael & me, what are you going to do when you run out of traitors?

And Ava, like a spider in her web, is waiting to egg Sonny on. Like others, they keep really confusing me about Ava. Now, I wonder if she was somehow getting revenge on Alexis about Julian. 

@John Loved Lois's dialog to Ned, exes who love each other but are great friends, and have a daughter .... 

Is anyone else annoyed by this Kaiser Permanente ad that keeps rising up from below to about 30% of the screen?!!!

On the other hand, if Ava were killed off/murdered, at least someone finally would be leaving!  If death is the only way to thin out this cast, then, by all means, bring on the reaper!

I would kill her off and leave it open to interpretation.  Bring her back if you need to down the road.

Honestly, Ava does get a lot of airtime, so it would free up a good chunk of time for others.  My luck Finn and Violet would get that airtime though.

Not if they, too, fall victim to the Port Charles Reaper.

(Actually, just Finn.  Violet could go live with Hayden afterwards).

    • Deadline is reporting that Jake Schreier, who recently directed Thunderbolts* (a return to form quality-wise for the MCU IMO), is the frontrunner to direct the MCU X-Men reboot.  I thought he did an excellent job with Thunderbolts* - in a way, that seemed like an audition for the X-Men revolving around a group of misfit character that come together under a common goal. ‘X-Men’ Movie At Marvel Studios Circling ‘Thunderbolts*’ Director Jake Schreier To Assemble New Team – The Dish
    • Laura was at such a cool place by season 7. There were many exciting avenues to take the character, I wish they had explored the different dynamics within the friendship circle. Watching Karen and Laura have more conflict, with Laura becoming the advice giver to Val is something I always wanted.  And why wait until she dead until you bring on her mom? Yep. Yup. I didn't care for it.
    • Thanks.  Yes, I believe this is his first time with the BDWs.  Was O'Connor still listed with the BDWs?
    • The flow of each episode has been so much better
    • And her evolution was so subtly done. There was nothing like the depraved shows later on, like Game of Thrones, where they said a woman needed to be raped in order to find empowerment. The layers of Laura were what got me hooked on Knots, somewhere in the season 3 repeats. And I agree that her becoming a therapist would have made sense - look at how much her trauma over her mother drove her decisions early on.
    • I think that the problem with Laura was that she had grown to love herself and saw her value in both herself, her career, and her marriage.  She had this inner strength and confidence that Lynn/Bernard didn't know how to harness/write for because they were more interested in generating conflict amongst emotionally immature people. Karen/Mac and Gary/Val were all immature/stubborn to a fault even though they all had grown/evolved.  So the Latham's could key into their essence/history to generate the standard soap opera tropes and stories for them. Even the season 8 conflict with Laura's pregnancy and Greg not being cool with it didn't diminish Laura's fire and strength.  You saw how she was able to move on and live her life as a single mother because she'd already done that after Richard took off.   I saw her response to Greg's kissing Paige as 'that's my husband and I can't change him.. but once I find something better, I'll toss himself'.  She wasn't emotionally tied to him nor his money.. and I think that was partly why she was such a unique and interesting character in the nighttime soap world in the 80s.
    •   They actually had great chemistry to as friends in the scene I felt. A shame it was the first onscreen interaction. Looks better than Bill/Hayley’s house. I absolutely loved that! I feel the exact same way. This is just facts. Those scenes today between them were electric.
    • If The Real Housewives of Dubai is on hiatus/pause (a.k.a. done), then we need a way for Caroline Stanbury to come back to Ladies of London.
    • I hate quick snip scenes.  Such a tired hold-over from the 1980s.  And that nonsense does not belong on BTG.  Bring back the long scenes.
