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).

    • @BroderickThank you for the reply. Such acting that they Sharon Gabet and the actor playing Draper still played their relationship after it's over. I picked up on it even though I had no idea about their history. That's such good acting/continuity.  Raven has just moved to London and a custody battle is now brewing for Jamey.
    • Ha-ha-ha, I thought it was Marland who turned Mike into a jerk, but apparently not. I get that they probably felt the Mike/Leslie story had run its course, but they should have at least let them have a kid. Especially since they were soon ensnaring him in a storyline with a woman who couldn't have children (Elizabeth). Of course, no one could have predicted there would be a dearth of Bauers a few years later. I remember this! I remember Holly sitting by the phone, desperate for Ed to call so they could stop the divorce. I forgot it was Rita who never gave him the message. What a bitch.

       But, yeah, this is the Rita I remember at the beginning: very determined to bag Ed. I contend that Holly never, ever got over it, never stopped regretting that the divorce went through. I wish at some point over the years they had let Holly and Ed reunite for more than a brief affair. It feels like a thread that was left hanging. There she is! I was beginning to think I had dreamed up the Rita/Tim/Evie triangle.
    • In the interview posted on knotslanding.net, William Devane described the Greg/Paige storyline as "juvenile".  From that interview I also got the impression that William Devane was on his way out near the end so he wouldn't have returned if there was a season 15.
    • Just started this show. I’m on episode 3. I’m starting to make the connections and understand the family tree better. Still will take time to fully understand everything but it’s exciting. So glad we have a new soap opera in 2025! Excited to join the discussion once I’m caught up.
    • Haley and Jacob had more chemistry in their small interaction than I ever saw between Naomi and Jacob. Same with Haley and Derek actually - that was one of the few times I can recall Derek ever having any life in him. 
    • -- Anita going through Ted and Nicole's wedding album. Really??? -- Dani defending Ted in her conversation with Nicole. Really??? -- Bill wants a child with Hayley. Really??? -- Many people are saying "Dana can't be Eva's mother" because of the way Dana treats her. Maybe she's not her mother, but that biological connection has nothing to do with it. Dana has functioned as Eva's mother all of her life. There's no reason to believe giving birth to her makes the difference. -- Hayley is hilarious for being so clueless and tone deaf when she comments on others' mistakes and flaws. God, she's dumb. -- Alex Alegria continues to suck as Tomas. Soooooo wooden. -- Ambyr Michelle stole the episode.  
    • I was fine with Greg and Paige as a couple (ick factors and all, lol).  What I didn't like was how juvenile their push-and-pull was, with Greg alienating her repeatedly and arbitrarily, and Paige leaving him and/or The Sumner Group in a huff, only to come back together, like, thirty minutes later, lol. I get that Greg was not someone who enjoyed sharing his feelings with others, but c'mon.  He was a little too old for all that on-again/off-again [!@#$%^&*]; and so was Paige, and so were we. Mary Robeson wasn't her aunt, though.  Thanks to WBTV's Primetime Soaps app, I was able to rewatch all of S14, and I learned, in fact, Mary was her aunt - which I guess made Joe her uncle? Truly, I thank the streaming gods for being able to rewatch the final season, because, for the past 30+ years, I never was able to understand how Mary and Joe, Nick and Vanessa, Val's disappearance and Treadwell (and Abby) all fit together; and even now, it still seems a trifle sketchy to me.  (The shortened season and reduced budget wreaked some havoc on the storytelling, did it not, lol?)  But I do appreciate the attempt, because it's probably the first time since Val's pregnancy that the show even attempted to tie the cast together under the same story umbrella. And even if she was trepidatious (sp?) about raising Meg alone, she wasn't the type to express those feelings outwardly.  Laura wasn't going to fidget and cry like Val, or shout wild-eyedly at others like Karen.
    • Oh Lord! They don't dare put her near Jacob. 
    • And knowing Hayley she’d somehow feel like she was the victim
