Well...Carly is going to Carly. lol.

 

After that annoying Perez episode, this one was all kinds of intriguing. No nookie for Ava then lol. But I couldn't help, but think about Carly and G-Man from ATWT watching her with Wagger. lol. And now Carly done got arrested. Well...one way to keep Jason in town. Moreso now that Carly's secret should not be hanged over his head now. 

 

And OMG!! Are they really going to go there with Willow/Drew then? I was thinking it was winding down now that Nina knew, but I was pleasantly surprised. I was VERY surprised with all the bubble butts on display, too. I don't even like CD but I enjoyed him out of that dress jacket. Same CM always had it. So...

 

Why is that Danny always gets the short end of the stick? 

 

And ugh at Molly and TJ. But that story needed to explode so her overreacting works.

Jagger bringing up Sonny murdering AJ right to both their faces only made me support him more.

And just like that the stupid ass status quo of this show remains the same. Be opposed to Sonny, Carly, and Jason, actual criminals, and you will be considered the bad guy. Carly getting off like this is exactly why I stopped watching GH.

And am I to assume now that the whole Pikeman storyline was just pointless? Valentin and Brennan are both free?

I really had such high hopes for this show in the previous months I had been watching, but the shift in writing is overly noticeable and not for the better. I don’t see how much longer I’ll be holding on.

I knew Sonny and Carly’s offscreen kid must be young but for me to see Donna for the first time and realize she’s the same age as Carly’s grandson was just wow. Why exactly did Sonny and Carly need another kid especially in their I’m assuming 50’s and 60’s?

Anna absolutely sucks now. Just completely sucks.

I love Scotty and Ava together. Ava typically loses so I’ll just enjoy her scheming until Sonny ultimately takes Avery from her.

Oh, look! Friday cliffhangers are back!!!

 

And that was a pretty decent cliffhanger, too. Everyone banding together against Wagger. So we have a new 'bad' guy. 

 

So this was the scenes you all were talking about with Kristina and Molly. Well, I'm happy to see the actress playing Molly come into her own. Because she shaded the heck out of Kristina. Though again, it goes back to them writing Kristina as the never-do-well since Kate M came on. That said, I understood her frustration with Kristina who was clearly stalling. While I don't like that Molly IS overreacting, I loved the scenes because this has been building for a while so it was nice to see it explode. And both scenes could be seen.

I have nothing to say about the acting except GREAT things! However, I cannot say the same about the writing. No, this storyline is a stinker. However, as long as everyone gets it that Tolly overreacted to the max. I mean, boil it down & all Kristina was doing was keeping private things, private. And, she got crucified for it. But, I will say, this story is gonna get even soapier. And, there's no way that is a bad thing.

I agree. I can't believe the overreaction. And I liked Kristina's reasoning, and thought that was just common sense. But here I am playing catch-up and there is Kristina being irrational that TJ and Molly might break up and le sigh.

 

So crazy. But yeah, I think it's about to get soapier for sure. Not bad at all.

Yes, it's screwy. Like a tennis match. Kristina makes sense. Then, turn a corner & she does not. Back & forth. Exact same thing can be said for Tolly. They'll be on an even keel. Then, BOOM, they are in a panic. TJ was completely unfair to Alexis. She's been Switzerland this whole time. Now he mocks her, saying that not taking a side is taking Krissy's side. UNFAIR. Basically, I really like Molly, not so much TJ. 

My biggest fear is that the baby will be fine & Kristina will make it through but they'll tell her that she can never have any more children. Oh Lord, we can all see what would come of that.

    • Loved Valerie Mahaffey as crazy as a box of frogs Sandy Cooper on Wings. 2025 needs to chill out already. May Ms. Mahaffey rest in peace.
    • She was great on there. And Wings. And so many shows. I don't feel like we get those character actors as much now.
    • Cady did have a southern accent as Dixie in her first few years playing the character... but it started to minimize the longer she played the character (which tracks because my aunt had a heavy southern accent when married my uncle and years living in the north has softened it quite a bit). Her initial stint playing Rosanna was partly due to mirroring the previous actress and eventually developing her own take on the character. And the thing about her take as Kelly on Y & R was that she was too sedate when she first took over playing the role (she was supposed to play a woman that had recently lost her child.. and trying to keep things together) and then went OTT crazy and didn't play it well.    And I don't care to remember her attempt at playing Jennifer on Days. I think this Pamela character is the first time she's playing a character from the start and I think she's like a kid at a candy store.  She's having so much fun trying different things... and I hope eventually she decides to settle on a more consistent character for Pamela (perhaps her love of accents is a character trait based on something traumatic that happened to her in the past maybe).
    • That's sad. I remember her mostly from ER and the shortlived, yet very funny, sitcom The Powers That Be.
    • As always loved seeing Ric with Liz. I hope the show forever keeps them in each others orbit even if it’s just platonic. I’m sure she’s going to cut him out when she finds out he’s blackmailing Alexis though. So darn.
    • I have to be honest I’m really struggling with this show. I love everything with Eva/Leslie/Ted/Nicole/Kat and enjoy Dani and Bill’s shenanigans (I’m on the Hayley needs to be recast train now tho), Chelsea is second to Kat as my favorite Dupree grandkid and I loved her coming out to her mom. The show was on a truly great run with the big Leslie and Eva reveal at Nicole and Ted’s anniversary party and the fall out has still been good even with the unnecessary Ted recast and them making Leslie kind of dumb by exposing herself too much unnecessarily. The real problem for me started when they rotated back to way too damn much screen time for Derek/Ashley/Andre (if anyone should have been up first for a recast it was these three IMO). They tried way too hard to drum up drama between Ashley and Derek and the actors were clearly fighting for their mediocre charisma less acting lives to make it work but none of it landed, just horrible. Naomi and Jacob and this weird homeless woman story are also BORING. I can see where its potentially going but IDGAF at all, my only hope for them is that they’re building a triangle with Naomi/Jacob/Kat because Jacob and Kat have stronger chemistry together than their current love interests (Eva is the only one who can make the awful Tomas work). Martin, his secret and still cringe worthy acting got kind of interesting with Bill dropping hints to Smitty but they completely lost me with that lil fakeout scene at the country club. The lame “teenagers” (air quotes because Samantha is no Bianca Lawson and never beating the black Andrea Zuckerman allegations) can get off my screen as well. Joey creeping on Vanessa is grossing me out at this point, I actually quite like Vanessa and Doug now but Joey falls totally flat as a villain and someone we’re supposed to buy Vanessa being enamored with. I’m glad they’ve finally set up something interesting for Vernon and Anita to do with this girl band reunion instead of Anita wringing her hands and telling us she feels darkness coming and Vernon giving a civil rights speech every episode but yeah… People who’ve posted with me for other shows know I’m not one for fast forwarding or hate watching either, if I find a majority of a show is not working I usually just quit but because of what this show represents for me as a Black male soap fan I really want to stick it out. Its just become a challenge lately. I saw Guza has left the building and I REALLY hope we hear about some more BTS changes. The additions of Tracy Thompson and Jamie Giddens don’t exactly inspire a lot of confidence from me tho. Honestly praying hard for a new EP to replace JHC, a lot of the stuff that annoyed about her PC and AMC runs has started to match up here. I’m giving the show through the Summer to rectify some things but IDK how long I can hold on tbh. Its been a struggle to even finish some of these episodes lately.
    • I agree. I liked the episode but it felt jarring to suddenly return to a bunch of plots that had been put on pause since the Nurses' Ball started. Although I did like Laura popping in at the end to tell Alexis that millions of dollars have suddenly disappeared from Ace's trust fund. One set of scenes that made me feel optimistic for the next few months were between Sofia Mattsson and Rory Gibson. While Rory has been good as a darker, colder Michael this week, I was worried that he might not have much range. But he really warmed up with Mattsson, and I thought that (for the first time) Michael and Sasha had some genuine chemistry.
    • Next week is going to be such a sad time... I just feel it based on what was shown today. I'm wondering if the whole John being bandaged thing being a throwback to how he first arrived on the show was a Ron C idea since it just seems as though this would be something he would come up with.  If so, it's good that Cwikly/Ford are in charge with the implementing of the idea instead of him. Just a delayed thought from the Ciara scenes earlier in the week, or last week.. and how she had an odd way of dressing/acting.  I chuckle because little Ciara did say that she admired and wanted to be just like Kristen when she grew up.  So the fact that her outfit choices are so odd/off beat and her manner is a bit OTT just fits.. especially since Eileen's Kristen had an odd sense of fashion and that frantic OTT undertone to her delivery. With that said, a part of me wonders how Eileen's Kristen would have handled the scenes being done this week in regards to John's situation.   
    • My god the smirking was back in full force today. He almost started smiling after Johnny mentioned he wouldn’t be there if EJ hadn’t raped Sami. I will say I did like seeing him with Dee as they’ve always had great chemistry.    They really are giving a lot of false hope with John getting better. I wish they hadn’t done that. Monday is going to be devastating. I really liked all the characters mixing and mingling today.  Nu-Rachel is still too sweet for me. Loved all the flashbacks. Everyone looked so young. Really enjoyed Brady’s scenes with John today.
