@Vee I get your point, but, arguably, Paulina didn't know what EJ did when she appointed him as DA, while everyone in Port Charles knows that Anna was accused of treason when she was offered the job of Police Commissioner.  Not that two wrongs make a right, but there is more plausibility in EJ's case, even through the author of this story gets less respect.

In fairness, what GH often forgets lately is that Anna Devane was top cop in PC and a world-saving '80s hero for a long time well before any recent craziness. Her credibility as a heroic police chief and WSB agent in the '80s and early '90s goes much further than her dark '70s origins with the DVX, IMO. Unlike pit stop rapist E.J.!

Besides Lucas, I wonder who is left on the canvas that knows EJ raped Sami?

I don't think she ever pressed charges or even told her parents at the time.  As I recall, the incident was never referenced directly as sexual assault.  There was just a lot of watered down discussions about having to save Lucas, and feeling pressured, in order to imply ambiguity around consent.  This is clearly an example of a time when the audience was more astute than the scriptwriter.

Even though Leo got dumped and deserved it for the heartless human being he is.....the letter route was lame. Dimitri reasons made zero sense. GR acting during those scenes were bad. 

Overall the show wasn't bad and I enjoyed EJ new sidekick at work. Reminded me of Lucinda and Jane from ATWT

Still no sympathy for Leo and today didn’t help at all either. Idk if it was a writer/director choice or Greg Rikaart’s choice but playing it like a clown was the wrong decision. Kinda told me that there actually really was no love between him and Dimitri. 

I’m looking forward to tomorrow though. The cliffhanger today was good.

The Eric/Nicole scenes were good too but I still stand by what I said about how this should have been the story from the very beginning. There’s no reason why their scenes today and Sloan’s jealousy couldn’t have been pushed more during Holly’s coma. 

Glad Harris/Ava found the black book too. Maybe that means that that crap is finally done lol 

One of the many reasons why you don’t squeeze years worth of story into only 6 months. Or try to turn an evil villain into a cringey, campy, romantic lead.

Well, I suppose most of us would have difficulty believing in Leo's ability to feel, express or even receive love. I kinda don't blame them for not even trying to sell that bill of goods, not at this point, anyway. 

Absolutely. Sweeps serves its purpose! Baby Steal Reveal, come to me, mama!

Eric/Nicole scenes are always good. 

If I never ever hear the name Clyde again in any context, it will be totally acceptable to me.

I am pretty sure I recall Marlena referencing it years ago and Kate knows about at least from Lucas's perspective.  I think it's safe to think Kate/Roman and Marlena/John at least know about it.  I don't believe it was ever referred to as sexual assault on the show either.  Not because it wasn't, but because the show was trying to sell Sami/EJ.

It is ironic that Nicole's first story is about the unhoused, considering that 75% of Salemites live in a hotel, or an ancestral home with twelve roommates.  Speaking of which, does Ava know she doesn't need to move now that Tripp and Wendy are off on an extended vacation?  Also, wasn't Nicole's first story about Paulina and the radiation?

Nicole looks amazing today, not work-appropriate for a journalist on the beat, but lovely.

Do we think when they drink a martini on DAYS it is just water and an olive?  If so, that's pretty vile.

Still no clue how Titan and Dimera are business rivals.  The focus of their businesses seem disparate.

Now, Rita's got a backstory at Dimera?  We know more about her than Stefan.

Maybe Salem Square is like a side-view mirror where things are bigger than they appear, because how do Eric and Nicole not notice Sloan or hear her say out loud that Eric is Jude's father?

Ha! You read my mind about Ava.  Wouldn't it just make a lot more sense for her and Harris to move into Wendy/Tripp's apartment than to live side by side upstairs at the Brady Pub?  I assume Ava just can't afford the apartment.

Has Rita appeared before this week?  I was wondering why this sassy assistant just suddenly made an appearance and has a whole lifetime of experience with EJ.

Sloan was about 5 feet away from Eric/Nicole and they didn't notice her at all, so I am going to assume they couldn't hear her either.  But Sloan yelling that in a public Town Square was not smart.  Perhaps we are supposed to think Eric/Nicole's love was just too all consuming to notice space, people, time, etc.

I’m still waiting for the day that they do a storyline where Johnny finds out the truth about his conception. 

Then the guy needs some serious direction

    • When I was a kid, I would watch DOOL with my mom. I remember Denise as Susan so well. And later, of course, on GH. How sad to hear she has passed. RIP.
    • I have to dig that scene up on YT. I'm glad they gave them some kind of happy ending, even if it was really late. Interesting! I remember Justin and Sarah being involved, but I either forgot or never caught their backstory. The girl with money and social position of course turns out to be Jackie. He sort of did to Sarah what Vanessa did to his brother! I do remember Justin started out as not the greatest guy. Kind of a horn dog. It's only when Ross comes on that he becomes the "good" brother. I only have some vague memories of Ben and Hope, mostly of when they were in a positive relationship. He certainly changed over time. "Chill" would be the way I would describe Ben (along with "handsome but kind of a yawn") for most of his time on GL, so hearing he once had a violent temper is very surprising.
    • Yes. That's called good writing.
    • interesting idea.  That makes sense, as MVJ seems to have set up each character development (traits) for future plot developments.
    • I really enjoyed today's episode. It showcased a lot of the other cast and I saw hints of storyline potential (Smitty & Bill). Martin definitely has some anger issues and I recall him being overly scared about protecting his family and having all the doors locked, coming out of one of his "dreams". There's obviously a lot going on there and I can't wait to find out more. I'm thinking June is going to be more than just the issue story of the week. I think she just might be related to one or more of our main characters. As for Tomas, yes, Alex Alegria is not the strongest actor, but he's pretty to look at and he emotes something. I'm just not sure what that something is yet.
    • No. Absolutely No. I don't know who this is... since it's just some random Twitter quote... But NO. The only parallel between OG Caroline's leukemia and Liam's tumor... is that they are both having cancer. That's it. Other than that... I see absolutely no similarities.  Caroline hid her sickness almost till the last moment. She was also giving the viewers signs that she is not well for days if not weeks before the diagnosis. It was not like Liam... falling down and hitting his head on a table and bam he has a tumor. Caroline's storyline broke our hearts, because of her attempt to live out the rest of her days with dignity and grace. It was written slowly and with care. What we are seeing right now with Liam is the complete opposite. It's begging the viewers for empathy and cheap tears. It's so in your face and trashy... I can't believe they are using cancer for something like this. Bradley Bell should never do terminal stuff again in his stories. It's borderline offensive to people who actually have lost relatives to cancer. To me it is.
    • I was thinking that June could be Kat's mother and Eva is Nicole and Ted's.
    • You won't even miss her because Nola will be dominating the show till Raven comes back. Literally... there will be no boring second. Nola is just starting. You won't believe what will follow. Haha. And then as soon as that storyline is finishing up, Raven is back in top form.
