That sounds like a really cool upbringing lol.  I really could never place the accent so makes sense.

I actually don't remember the last thing Jax did, but the Nixon Falls stuff sounds about right.

I thought Willow was friends with Sasha, Maxie, Brook Lynn, Liz, etc.  She has friends I think.

Jax was a gray character to begin with when he first was introduced.  You could go back to that.  There just isn't really a point to re-invent Jax.  He has more ties than Jagger, but it would be the same thing to me.

Jax clearly has more purpose than Jagger or Brennan.  He has enough ties to work in several places, but I weirdly don't think Jax is missing in this or that story.  His absence doesn't bother me, but he's also still relevant on the current canvas.   Again their are multiple characters filling the Jax "role" and you could drop them all (Jagger, Brennan, Drew, Valentin, etc) and just recast Jax I suppose.

It's ruinous writing, especially because Anna and Robert are easily the most qualified people in town and always have been. But I suspect it's all to try and salvage Valentin again. It's no coincidence IMO that they dragged Charlotte back from oblivion from this.

I won't lie though - seeing Kirsten so reenergized and bossing up after years of depressing drabness makes me get back on the Michael/Maxie train I've been riding for over a decade. I'd still probably recast him and/or wait but I'd go there.

I’m having whiplash. It wasn’t that long ago these same writers had Anna denouncing Sonny but now she’s helping her criminal ex boyfriend escape the country? I totally understood Jason’s frustration today and Steve played it well.

Speaking of Jason, why the hell are they writing off his first born already? Jason with his baby mamas and kids has been the most interested I’ve been in him in about a decade.

Not the same writers, IMO. Mulcahey's name is still barely there but he's pretty much out of the building judging by a lot of swift story and character whiplash (Ava, Willow/Drew/Nina, nice guy Sonny, Natalia) in recent weeks.

Okay so I’m not going crazy noticing a shift in what we were getting before. 

I’ve been enjoying Drew/Willow/Nina from the start but I was not expecting Willow to tell Nina about it so soon. I can’t see how this turns out any other way for Nina except Willow hating her again. I was hoping we’d get a longer more secrety triangle.

While true, it's the fact that for the last decade or so, the writers barely try to write for Jax as nothing, but a white knight who dislikes Sonny. And when Jax tries to color outside that line, he winds up back. I would hate to see that happen to a fine (and FOINE hehe) actor like Charles Masure. 

 

I immediately thought Drew when this conversation started.  Going back to what I said about a white knight. Drew kinda would be the closest to that. 

You're not.

WOW! What a SWEEPS day!!! Jason is so honorable, as a person, checking the clock, as Gates  is pounding on the door. 

There is a rumor. You know I do not usually comment on them. However, I am  wondering about this one. And, it is that Vanna goes on the run & Jarly chases after them. Would today's GH do this? I do not know. 

I believe that PM was in on things like deciding that they would put lots of eggs in July Sweeps & that Pikeman would be the biggest egg of all. But, then, this daily execution of things, I cannot see it. 

Willow blew my mind again today. WTH is she doing going to Sonny & saying "I have a confession to make," and scaring the daylights out of all of us. 

Did you catch that Cates considered the champagne a device for grooming someone & that someone gets to be Carly. WTH?!!! Who in their right mind would think that Carly would be swayed by some bottle of champagne?! How has Cates spent so much time with her & knows her so little?!

It's like anti-soap. The only interesting part in such a fast reveal is if they end up like Rae and Michael and Kimberley on Ryan's Hope and Willow guns him down leading Nina to take the blame. I would use that to start turning to an evil Willow arc where she decides she's justified in killing Drew and letting Nina rot.

Awww thank you. 

 

I think it's safe to say that Wagger is a complete flop. In fact, I keep forgetting he is there until he pops up. And given his history and his importance to Jason's storyline and the Pikeman storyline that is surprising for sure.

The whole question for me is why they even brought Jagger back in the first place. I don't think it was necessary. Now that he's there, I say keep him around as the actor is decent and at least Jagger does have some old ties to GH but get him out of this plotline and try something different with him. Hell, they may as well bring Karen back from the dead while Kin Shriner is still there.

Hmmm Karen. So much history there. I loved Karen. 

 

I don't think it was necessary either since Taggert is still in town...or is he?...because Taggert could have been used in the same way and has just as much history well more history than Jagger. 

 

That's just more reason for this Pikeman story/Jason returns story to end. With it over with, we can see what the actor can do if they plan to keep him around. I think the potential is there, but he could have been someone new given how they haven't touched on his history too much since he was in scenes with Sonny constantly taunting him over Karen.

      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.

      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.
