I mean, I already hate Joss so it couldn't be worse for me lol.  I think Eden does better work when she's bitchy.  I really don't find her endearing now, so I think if the show just went with her as a vixen or bad girl it would work more to her strengths.  Joss being the best and brightest doesn't work now.

 

I wouldn't mind Matt back.  Is the poor guy still in jail for killing Lisa?

No, it doesn't.  But if she were to become a "bad" girl, I still need to see something in her that I could love and empathize with.  Otherwise, I almost think I would hate her even more than I do now, if that makes any sense, lol.

 And then a few months later Burgess Jenkins? Oh, David Tom's return was brilliant... but was poorly executed against Amelia Heinle's Victoria.

You really cannot accept she did not retire, can you?

He and Steven Lars serving lifetime sentences, while criminals like Sonny Corinthos roam free. SMFH.

LOVED Finola & LW. 

Loved that little shade Carly aimed at Ava, ignoring her the rest of the time. 

More than a little peeved we did not see Tracy get the news of Gregory's passing. Oops. I jumped to an unfounded conclusion! My bad. 

LOVED Liz suddenly finding her backbone. It had been MIA for such a long time. 

Giovanni is a lovely name. Don't care for "Gio." But, also really like "G." I didn't see it coming, his moving into the Q mansion. So far, works, we'll see. 

I count myself among the people who think he may be for Trina. 

One brave soul on TwiX has suggested what if he's for Aiden? IDK.

I strongly dislike the general opinion that a character cannot thrive without a love interest.
(to clarify:  This is not directed at anyone here. I'm referring to general commentary across the internet about all characters on all shows).
Especially female characters.  I truly believe that female characters can be strong, fun, and vital, even if currently without a love interest.  Yes this is a soap, but love interests shouldn't be required nowadays.

See, I think I would hate Joss less if she was an overtly bad person.  At this point she's subtly awful, but we aren't supposed to think that.

Weird hill to die on when BRS has literally recently returned to GH and said she would like to continue.  The entire take that she's retired is made up lol.

Forgot about Steven Lars.  Matt really got a raw deal.  I still don't know how him killing psycho Lisa was not self defense.

I completely agree, as well!

Even Heather has forgotten about Steven Lars at this point.

 And I think Matt got the book thrown at him because of the situation with Maxie taking the blame, and then their marriage of convenience.

I vehemently disagree with any suggestion that the character Trina be cut altogether or changed to recurring.
*In my opinion* Trina should be one of the leads of the show.
Why would you want her time cut or reduced?  There's plenty she could do.  She doesn't need Spencer to be relevant!

My cutting Trina to recurring has to do with diminishing the Ashford family altogether, in exchange for the Ward family, and I just don't see the need for Trina to be on-canvas in a full-time capacity when recurring would suit her just fine. Time to graduate to the next generation.

Bring back Réal Andrews as Taggert, and reestablish him as Trina's father.  (Regardless of whether the paternity test was altered or not, they can still recognize Taggert as Trina's father of the heart.) Then cut Curtis.   Problem solved.  Réal can recur while Tabyana is on contract.

.

well yes I'd like to see the Ward family, but I still want Trina/Tabyana on contract.

Again, Ali can be on recurring for all of this. I don't see any justifiable reason to keep her on as a series regular other than the fact Trina was part of a multi-year social media fan campaign for a couple that, realistically, was short-lived.

 She can exist on recurring, which is essentially all she's been following Nicholas Alexander Chavez's exit as Spencer and it's perfectly fine to keep her there.

      I imagine Brad will blow through all the money in a year and come crawling back, just as Portia warned him not to.

      Well, since I'm still up unexpected past my growing-into-it bedtime. lol.   I finally got to rewatch Monday's. I even rewatched Friday's to take it all in. Now that we got the reveal and hit the climax of the SilkPress Sheila storyline, now we get to watch the aftermath and/or turns that come with its climax. So far, so good. Friday left us with three cliffhangers. And what I found surprising was how I felt about them over a rewatch.    I know some of you all felt a way about the dialogue during Kat vs Eva. I remember liking it more the first time around and it was nice for them to have these scenes to establish more of a frenemy vibe for them going forward. That still held up. But I found myself agreeing with you all about that dialogue. lol. Still, it was nice to have both of their POVs.   Second up was Silk Press Sheila vs the Duprees. And I was happy to get a brief spat with Dani in there. But the rest standouts for me was Anita and Martin. Haters can hate and given the tail end of the episode, I will agree to a fault, but Brandon has impressed and he was on fire on Monday and had great subtle work on Friday. And that subtle work made it all the better. Like I believe I said when I was watching...BC has a much better grip on his character and seems to be realizing what his tics are so has started to be able to know when to turn it up and when to dial it down. And for the most part (emphasis on most), he got that. Meanwhile, TT was giving fierceness, and I was here for every minute of it. Her reading SilkPress. Her being quip about it. Her 'BE STILL.' Ooooo she had a chokehold on me as Anita gave what I was expecting her to SilkPress. WORTH THE WAIT. I also loved Vernon's CHOOSE SILENCE. I wonder though if SilkPress will figure out Martin's condition from her observing Anita and Vernon with him.   And speaking of worth it...Oooo YES Nicole vs Ted was worth totally worth it. Oooooo I knew DD would nail it, and it was all so well done. The fight between the part of Nicole who is a therapist vs Nicole as a woman who wants to express how she feels. And being so angry. And how there would be moments when it would shoot out of her. And how she would restrain herself. But how she felt she should not be restrain. Just the levels of processing and layers. And DD played it all so well. I do wish Maurice gave just a little bit more, but overall, I thought he did a good job even if it was just Ted coming across as a deadbeat and not at all redeemable. And Kat being there for her mother was so beautiful.   Minority, but I love the montage though yes, it did run a little long. Given how the Duprees like to bond (and also as I mentioned from my own very recent family experiences), it did not seem out of place to me.     That said...let's see how the aftermath worked in today's episode. Overall. Cuz RC can be hit or miss.

      I wonder whose brilliant (

      ) idea it was to do an almost complete rip-off of the "who killed Tom King"-storyline. That's some quality style writing right there.....
