They are running the bus back and forth on Finn lol, yikes. Great scenes with Terri, Porsha and Liz and ME is giving good effort.

The Mac, Felicia, Anna and Robert scenes were great. Mac has definitely been a missing vet piece and yeah Felicia is lucky he’s stuck around considering what a bum mother she was.

Glad they let Sam be mad at Jason and can’t wait for her and Carly to go at it again over Jason being gone to protect her. The Jarly scenes were pretty nice as well

I really like the Nina and Maxie friendship

I don’t care about Joss and her crew. I wish they would bring back Emma or Lila Rae so she can get a rival. Its so boring when soaps put younger characters in too friendly group dynamics.

I actually found myself agreeing with BOTH Carly and Sam in that conversation and I actually don’t like either woman

. Sam used to be the most hardcore of hardcore ride or dies. But Sam was also right, Carly ABSOLUTELY does not want Jason to change.

And honestly this Sam isn’t that surprising to me, I can’t remember if BM was playing Jason or if he was Drew when they were married and got away from the mob to start a company. Honestly it might be the aurora company I keep hearing about. But I remember they were both happily completely removed from the mob world at the time. And I liked the progression. Honestly I had become a big fan of BM’s Jason because of the moving away from Steve’s Jason’s life.

Oh I love this post! I luckily had dropped GH around the time Sam went back to Jason as everything you mentioned was a clear evolution for her character. And putting her back with Steve’s Jason was more just trying to go with the status quo. I never actually liked Sam and Jason as a couple until Billy was playing him anyway.

Did he start Aurora as Drew or Jason??

As Jason IIRC, but it was shortly before the Two Jasons reveal and I think was done as part of that setup to show how un-Jason he was becoming. BM's faux Jason had always been making an effort to move away from the mob and back to the Qs, Jake, Monica, etc. so it seemed like a natural evolution to me.

I think CM has actually done a great job with CW and even Willow and the business/political stuff under Mulcahey, so I'll be sorry to see it get diluted or go. It also suits him to grow the beard back out. He's approaching the levels he was at in his successful early months as Drew for me, before he became Carly's male purse and tanked onscreen.

Okay I thought that’s how I remembered it.

Onto 6/19

Holy cow Finn takes his Dad’s death a little hard and now they want to get CPS involved to take Violet? Has Gregory even been dead 2 weeks in soap time?

Mac being here is nice. I somehow missed Maxie having three freaking kids?!

I hope they’re not going to drag out this Cody telling Mac too long.

I hate to say it but I really do enjoy Natalia with Sonny and I absolutely hate Sonny and Natalia is an ass. But they do work together. Maurice lights up around Eva and seems to try.

Sam finding out Jason willingly stayed away from his kids for Carly, just wow. Everything she said and felt was completely valid. I’ve always considered the Sonny/Carly/Jason trio to be just the most absolute toxic in their devotion to each other.

Lord now Finn doesn’t even have a job. They are putting this man through it. I haven’t watched in years so I haven’t had the chance to hate Finn like you guys, so for me this all feels a little excessive

The way that Jason cares so little about Drew is actually hilarious. They are literally brothers in blood only. I don’t even remember their interactions when Billy Miller was on the show. I’d like to go back and see what that relationship was like. The scene with Drew and Jason at the wedding was so good.

Also I absolutely love the Nina and Maxie relationship. They really do feel like gal pals. And the Drew/Willow/Nins story is truly about to heat up.

Just saw your edit. I’m actually surprised how much I’m enjoying CM as Drew right now and it’s all because of the Nina story and the obvious simmering with Willow. Honestly the way I despised Ryan Lavery, I didn’t think I’d accept Cam as a recast for a role that I enjoyed the originator of quite a bit, but he’s won me over. And yes the beard helps tremendously.

Drew Q as he's been since the writing change suits his best work on soaps - breezy, cocky, a bit of a schemer/con man and mischievous, not unlike early Ryan. I've always liked Cameron, I just have never felt dark drama was his wheelhouse and he became intolerable on AMC and in recent years on GH because they tried to make him do material he isn't suited for. And Cynthia has soared. I had zero use for either character til March.

I've hung in as long as I have getting slowly through June because I wanted to see how much of this particular story continued (and also finding a lot of the material with Gregory's death/Finn's meltdown pretty good). Some of us have commented on how similar it seems to some of Mulcahey's work on GL with politician Ross Marler and his tangled relationships with mother and daughter Holly and Blake. I assume this will all get a hatchet taken to it with PM gone and be dismantled in short order, but I'm enjoying it for the moment. I'm ready to bail any day, so I will likely be done by July.

    • Chelsea was doing the absolute most today! Why was she introducing her sister to a woman she doesnt know? That whole scene was embarrassing. Madison needs to stay away from her bc she is too immature
    • Gosh, what a waste with Lunacy. Why have her live with $B, reveal Finn, pardon her, etc What makes this story incredibly hollow is that what Luna is asking isn't unreasonable - to spend time with her cousin father. She's not asking to move in with them. How hard with it be for Finn to throw her a bone by, say, I'll meet you for lunch/coffee once at week at the hospital cafeteria. Lunacy isn't going to hurt Finn. In fact, all her crimes were related to finding her father and it turns out to be someone she's loved her entire life. Instead of course-correcting the nonsense of last summer, Brad somehow found a way to make this worse! That's a skill... Of all the younger actors B&B has cast during the past 5 years, LY has shown the most growth and range. Why get rid of her? 
    • On the subject of sets (seems more interesting to discuss than the actual show)  Some sets we don't see anymore Lauren/Michael apartment (haven't seen that in years) Victoria's house (are Marian/Tessa living there?) Apartment above Crimson Lights (I think Chelsea was the last resident) Penthouse (Lily's home) Chancellor Estate (Devon/Abby) Chancellor office (once Dark Horse) Nick's house GCAC room (used as residence/hotel room for several characters) Some of these may pop up again. The tack house,for example, was not seen for many months before being used again. Have I missed anything?
    • Thanks for searching through everything. Worked on them so long, just too lazy to check for those links myself, so I am glad you chose to do it! I guess I never did type out anything for 1973-1977 in regards to the preemptions, but they are on the charts at least (and this far back, they don't seem to do any of those "breakouts" anymore, so things are simpler in the 1970's, so eventually I could type those out). 
    • I dump on the Y&R sets problem all the time, but BOLD is no better -- and they're not even introducing new sets. All of their sets are years old, and very few look like they're inhabited by people with money. Is that going to change with this move? I'd rather they save the money spent on another remote, which is no better than an HGTV travelogue, and get some new/better sets.
    • The donut posts here make up for a Friday show that was barely meh. Aside from seeing Anna, I really didn't care much about anything else. While I understand the thought behind breaking up all the sadness with "other scenes," I'd rather they moved right to John's funeral. Instead of hearing a stupid story about John changing some minor character's tire 20 years ago, just move on to the crying. I also thought the Chad and Cat scenes were a waste. I realize not everyone is devastated by John's death to the point of not functioning, but going sky diving is a choice. By the way, Jack and Jennifer are giving me nothing on this return. Please leave asap. DAYS did such a great job with John's death, so ending the week this way was a letdown.
    • Add Dr. Montgomery to list of fine women on this show! I hope the show goes forward with Madison/Chelsea and then once they're developed, bring back Allison, who is now divorced or a widow, for a Madison/Chelsea/Allison triangle.  It would definitely be the hottest triangle in daytime.  
    • I wonder if Linda Bloodworth-Thomason had Kim in mind for any of her other characters/series. If they intended Allison Sugarbaker (Julia Duffy's character) to be more in line with who Suzanne was/Delta Burke's portrayal-persona, then I think Kim would have aced that. Yes, it would have been odd, Kim having previously played a different character (from a different family), but Designing Women wouldn't have been the first show with that issue. Or maybe Kim could have played Beth Broderick's role on Hearts Afire. Or Patricia Heaton's role on Women of the House.
    • Sony is probably waiting until Y&R’s lease is up as well. All of TV City is going to be gutted, so they have to relocate at some point.
