Yep this is bad

Anna Devane is being ruined. 

So Sonny was pimping underage Girls at his strip club but John Cates is the bad guy here. [!@#$%^&*] that [!@#$%^&*]. Its time to retire the Sonny character and move the mob out of Port Charles.

Jason is really fine leaving his kids again for Carly because she decided to have a kid with Sonny when they were both middle aged

Ava is so silly thinking she could convince Nina to be on her side now. Great scenes though.

This show really had Kristina call Natalia the homophobe, THE REAL VICTIM?! This is the kind of stuff that turns me off of shows very quickly.

Wagger is not my red line on the show, lol. I don't care about Wagger no matter how nice his actor is on social media. He's been on the show four minutes. The whole show is just bad and the stories are nonsense.

Yes, Sonny did this.  Yes, Sonny is awful.  This did happen 30 years ago and Jagger is not the victim.  Karen was.  And she forgave Sonny for better or worse.  I don't need a 50 year old guy crying injustice about something that DID. NOT. HAPPEN. TO. HIM.  He cheated on Karen and was divorced from her years before she died.  A lot of things are all Sonny's fault.  This isn't one of them.

Jagger's issues are nonsense.  How would anyone side with him?  Sonny sucks, but like where were you JAGGER when your brother was dying?  Sonny paid for Stone's everything, no expense spared.  So, yeah, Sonny might milk that a bit, but Jagger could have shown up and spent time with his own brother or not cheated on Karen instead of complaining about it decades later.

Pretty sure she was fine with him when they visited right before Stone died, and again when the part was recast for Port Charles.

There is a layer of misogyny attached to the way Jagger is behaving about Karen. Like he needs to protect his little lady for her own good, no matter what she wants or even if she is alive anymore. Sure it was the writing, but Karen didn’t turn Sonny in. And this was back when he was low level mob.

Two/more things can be true at once- the writing for Anna was atrocious. Sonny is scum. However, Jagger has not been portrayed this entire run as heroic or as a stand up character. He is also still as stupid as he was back then. He openly flirted with Carly when he knew what he was holding over Jason. He was close to railroading Anna on sloppy email evidence. Defending him like he has remotely been a good guy or is simply doing his job is whack.

Yes!

They Had Karen (Then Jennifer Hammon) and Joe (Then Michael Dietz) run into Sonny , Jason &  Robin on the Pier on GH in 1998. Karen was not comfortable around him. Sonny kept calling her Carrie (Her stripper name). Joe asked him to quit. Then of all people, Robin told Karen its past the time she get over what Sonny did to her. Karen & Joe left.

Yes about Jagger.  Karen was a full grown woman who became a successful Dr.  Entirely without Jagger's help.  I don't even love to defend Sonny, but Karen had moved on with her life long before.  Jagger is acting like Karen was troubled by this for years.  She wasn't.  She was much stronger than that.  I can see Karen eyerolling this behavior from the grave.  Move on Jagger~

There is a scene not much after where Sonny and JH's Karen make peace.  That's literally not how Sonny/Karen ended things.  I am sure it's on youtube.

There are also scenes with Brenda at the Nurse's Ball in 1997 where they both discuss Sonny, Stone, Jagger et all.  Karen was more than fine and well adjusted.

    • Yes, they did.  I still have them.  I think there were three.  AMC and GH as well.
    • Ah okay, thats what I thought. I was hoping I missed the announcement somewhere. Thanks for the clarification.
    • A new day in Salem… and a new day for Days.  I like the way everybody found out and absorbed the news about John’s death, and how they all eventually found their way to Marlena’s to offer their condolences. I’m not particularly sure why they waited until the next day to tell everybody but I don’t really mind it.  We finally got Roman’s perspective! His scenes with Kayla were one of the best parts of today. I’m glad that Roman is thankful for everything that John did for his kids. I agree with posters who said that he should’ve had a scene like this with John, but I’m happy we got this at least.  Julie was used very well today too. She’s definitely the best person for Marlena to have scenes with at the moment. Hopefully, Julie continues to be there for her. And yes, I totally agree with Marlena and Belle sending EJ away when he came to the apartment. I’m curious to see what’s going to happen to his and Belle’s relationship in the aftermath of all this. And, while I enjoyed most of Brady and Kristen’s scenes, I still think the ship has sailed for them. Hopefully, the aftermath of John’s death causes Brady to finally end this thing with her once and for all.  And, I see a lot of people were wearing some kind of shade of purple today.

    • Wow, I love that current and former actors are participating in this. I barely recognize Staci Greason! She looks fine, just very different. But I will be happy to hear anecdotes from her. I shipped RoJohn and Isabella hard back in the day, and I sobbed buckets in my dorm room at college when Izzy B passed. Honestly, I'm interested in everyone's stories. Drake seemed like he was well loved among the cast.
    • When she first appeared, I was sure she was setting Tyrell up for a prank. She was too much of a manic pixie dream girl- I wasn't surprised Tyrell also became suspicious. Now I'm not so sure. If Jessica genuinely likes Tyrell, it seems like a missed opportunity to not have started her out as a bully, then we see her gradually catch feelings for Tyrell.  The McBrides are definitely the "C" family of BTG. They always get last priority. There have been a few times where the Doug/Vanessa/Joey characters reference off screen conversations which seem too important to not show us. Like when Doug thanked Joey for giving him extra time to pay off the loan. When did that happen? Or when we abruptly moved from Vanessa/Joey at Uptown to Vanessa/Doug in the hotel room. The McBrides don't even have their own set - even though Vanessa is a realtor. It's a shame because I am a fan of the characters and actors.

      I am also adjusting to KR as Ted but I feel that AM and MJ had way more chemistry as father and daughter than AM and KR. We saw Eva dream of having a real relationship with MJ's version of Ted for months so it's a bit of a bummer not to have that payoff with the original actor except for those scenes in MJ's last episode.  Something I noticed about Eva today is how she takes genuine delight in being a schemer. As badly as she wants to be a Richardson, she still has so much of her mom in her. It was jarring seeing her earnestly promise to steer clear of Leslie in her scene with Ted, then immediately switch attitudes when her mom showed up.  I'm very surprised with how quickly the accident story has been moving along. I was sure that it would be months if not years before people figured out it was Leslie on the motorcycle, not to mention responsible for the potassium overdose. I'm looking forward to seeing how MVJ and Guza avoid writing Leslie into a corner.  Finally, I have been loving the Articulettes story. Bonita Brisker was just the right amount of OTT - remember Sharon is supposed to be even more angry than Tracy is. If Sharon didn't come in swinging, people would say she fell flat. The way Sharon and Tracy describe the breakup is so Supremes-meet-Original Recipe Destiny's Child. I get the sense that MVJ is re-writing the Return to Love Tour as a roman a clef, and I love it. I'm looking forward to finding out what the secret they share is. If Dante Green is as shady as Berry Gordy was, it's something dark. If/when they go through with the reunion, I expect Dante to show up and claim to own the Articulettes trademark in a Lou Pearlman-esque twist. 
    • Other than hanging out with Liz, all of Lucky's stories have been stalled out or dropped; the relationship with his son; his wanderlust. He hasn't been involved in any of the action/adventure or con artist stuff. I don't think he's even had a scene with Sidwell since the latter came to town. He's a real after thought. I doubt he's long for the show.
