OK, now I'm confused about where's Jack living?!?

He seemed to be visiting from Boston, and then he left to return to Jennifer.  But, today, he comes sauntering into the Horton living room to chat with Chad.  So, where's he been? 

Does he stay at the Devereaux Estate (surely that's been sold off over the years)?  Is he hiding out with Tate and Holly?  Is he renting a room at the Pub? 

And, did anyone notice how dumb Alex was yesterday?  He was trying to be Cool-Stepdad to Tate about fake IDs, and then he inadvertently rats him out to Theresa by saying he saw Tate in the park.  Quel douche.

The Kerry scene went from 0-100 in seven seconds.  And why does Justin have more hair when he appears in Port Charles?

The lighting has a lot to do with it. DAYS' lighting is harsh and overhead while GH's is softer, so there's more reflection on his scalp.

The other thing is the makeup/hair team. The GH makeup team keeps most of the cast's skin very matte, while I think on DAYS the actors do a lot themselves, and it's likely the GH team adds powder to Wally's scalp to make it appear thicker and conceal any scalp.

Always Love me some Leo! Greg was great in today’s show. The actor who plays Kerry: bless his heart. Charity Rhamer awful. Beyond bad. He’s a good looking guy but it was too much for him to remember lines, the directors blocking and taking his shirt off all at once. Cringe.

His final scene with Julie was beautiful. That was definitely one of the few good (but sad) parts of today. And judging by the way that their scene, and the Christmas episode too, were written, I really think Bill, Susan, everyone at Days, etc. knew that Bill was nearing the end of his life. As sad as that is, I’m also glad that they were all able to put that extra effort in and make the scene as good as it was. 

The rest of the episode was… ehhhh

It’s always good to see Marlena, but the way that she’s being used is kinda ridiculous. 

And yeah, still no sympathy for Leo. 

If Uncle wanted people to like him, then maybe he shouldn’t have written him as the worst person ever and as the gay equivalent to Harvey Weinstein.

Actually, the only thing his whining to Marlena did is made me remember how wasted Dimitri/Peter Porte was on Days.

Susan said Bill was completely blind at this point, so yes, I think everyone knew his time was growing short. The scene was very sweet and I'm glad they got to end on such a graceful note. 

I agree with you on the rest of the episode. I don't care about Leo's transformation, Abigail's coffin or Connie's plan. I was intrigued by Bobby/Everett at one point, and I still like Blake Berris' performance, but the story is so convoluted at this point it makes no sense.

Today's episode revealed Connie wants to kill Rafe because she thinks that will help Everett/Bobby get Jada back and this plan is Dumb because Jada would be first person to figure out what Connie is up to and at this moment I'm ready for Blake Berris character to be off the show now his character serves no purpose at all 

Ron must have seen on gh what they did years ago when Franco was almost killed and Elizabeth was suspicious about who could have done it because that is the only explanation I give for this Connie killing plot to kill Rafe just so Everett/Bobby can get Jada back

I have seen Marlena do a lot of crazy things.  I think watching RuPaul's drag race with Leo was an actual character low point for her today.

The rest of the episode was fine.  Doug and Julie were nice.

      B&B: Old/Classic Discussion & Articles

      By Anooj · Posted

      I’ve reached the summer of 1998.  Until now, my impression has been that the show has steadily improved since the great quality dip of 1994, reaching as high as 8/10 in 1997. Sure, I could complain about a few things in 1997 (Claudia got wasted after her initial storyline; Thorne’s feelings for Taylor were a bit too sudden; the storyline where Sheila lived with James and Maggie while pregnant got rather boring; Mike periodically revisiting Sheila despite being on the run from authorities), but overall it was a very strong year.  I liked the Thorne/Taylor/Ridge triangle, the mystery plot about who shot Grant, the sham wedding to trap Sheila, Stephanie/Eric/Lauren, and Clarke manipulating his way back to working at Forrester. I even liked the Greenland storyline with Eric/Lauren/Rush, although I had expected to hate it. Maybe 1996 tops 1997 in raw soapy excitement (especially as Sheila got a chance to interact with a larger canvas of characters), but certain problems with overall storyline cohesion puts it somewhat below 1997 for me. Unfortunately, 1998 has turned out to be a bit of a speedbump, perhaps on par with 1995 levels of quality: - Maggie’s character really got trashed after James left her to be with Sheila, and the early 1998 storylines where she imprisoned Sheila in the house from Psycho, or installed those wires and mikes and such in her house to make her think she’s going crazy, were total GARBAGE. So much so that the latter storyline (and Maggie with it) pretty much disappeared into a limbo.  - I have mixed feelings about the twins plotline with Lauren. No way did Rush survive being shot with a crossbow through the chest, and the romance between Lauren and Rush’s good twin brother Johnny was rather dry to me. I did however enjoy the camp aspect of Rush taking his brother’s place to be with Lauren, and Eric rescuing her. But it doesn’t appear like Bell cared too much about the Johnny/Lauren romance beyond the twin storyline gimmick, and it too disappeared in an unsatisfactory manner (come on, why not hire Johnny’s actor for just 5 more episodes for an arc where he realizes Lauren is not over Eric, or JUST SOMETHING?) - Clarke wormed his way back to FC in late 1997, which had exciting storytelling potential, but then he disappeared almost entirely. Sad to see my favorite character wasted in this manner. Does he get anything interesting to do between now and the Morgan saga of 2000-2001? - The Thomas saga was entertaining in 1997, but it got stretched out too much, and made some of early 1998 tiresome, with Ridge having to decide YET AGAIN which woman he wants to be with. On the plus side, I like the plotline of Thorne being neighbors with Macy and Grant, and we’ve finally been introduced to the SORASed Rick/Amber/CJ crowd. The Stephanie/James/Sheila triangle is also starting, and it makes me excited (I remember seeing some if it in my childhood). I know Sheila, Grant, and James are all leaving soon, which I honestly kind of dread - between them and Clarke’s near-absence, it feels like herd is going to get culled too much in the near future. But I know there’s the familiar 1999-2002 to look forward to.

      LOL - this is a perfect description, and that's what I loved about it! May be a bit campy, but it immediately caught my attention in a good way.  I'm not familiar with the Fishing Trip storyline, I'll have to look that up. I've noticed that about Josh, which has made him less attractive to me overall. He just yells a lot when he's not happy. Wow, Reva was married to HB!  LOL - "Always... eventually, and again"

      I love your ideas. I would love to see Jack grown up this confused unhinged individual. He should hold a grudge against both Brooke and Taylor.

      GH: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Jdee43 · Posted

      Lois's return has been a bust. So disappointing that the writers have never written for her. As with Tracy, the pool of GH vets is so thin, there's no one to pair her with. Doubtful they would go to the trouble of properly recasting a legacy character and then sticking  him with Lois; they're obviously not that invested. If she wants to be on this show, it'll be as a noisy grandma who stays in the background.

      Critics Unleashed!

      By DRW50 · Posted

      @Franko Thanks for tagging me. A few days ago I was talking in another thread about the rise of "snarky" critics for TV shows in the '90s online recaps, but this is just more along the lines of a mauling. There's also the unspoken reality that films like Steel Magnolias were seen as movies for women, so therefore they sucked. Pauline Kael also had her share of blunt, at times incredibly nasty remarks, but the vitriol is often balanced by her love for film. I'm not seeing that here.  With that said, the comment about Field's work becoming unbearable describes how I felt when I tried to sit through her and Maura Tierney on ER.

      I skipped most of Daniel too. I think it's awful he has kids with Nicole, Csrky5 and Chloe and Brady, Bo and Philip do not.
