This is not the first time a close-to-end term pregnancy has ended in some kind of "tragic loss," and I'm kind of done with it. If they don't want babies populating the canvas, easy solution: DON'T WRITE PREGNANCY STORYLINES! Esme went off the parapet of Wyndemere, and that spawn survived... but both Kristina & Sasha lose their babies? Cmon now... cut the bull.

Kudos to Tajh Bellow, Nancy Lee Grahn, Kate Mansi & Kristen Vaganos for their outstanding work in today's episode, and an honourable mention to Tanisha Harper who did well in the supporting role opposite Bellow. Both Mansi & Vaganos have been doing some strong work opposite each other, and today that was beyond apparent to see. Kind of wish Kelly Monaco's Sam had been included somehow and will be... given Sam's loss of Lila.

For some reason I thought you'd given up your vendetta against Joss. Guess not. Joss was my rose for last Friday! I think she should definitely get her butt back into pre-med. She saved Kristina's life!

Also the fact that all of a sudden GH has become Flashback Central, when it typically was not before, even doing that classic where you flashback on something that happened only 30 minutes before! I will say that Sonny's flashbacks today were EXCELLENT & also Molly confronting him was, too. But, are they using flashbacks to fill in short shows?

 

Who? Jason? Or do you mean Morgan?

I agree Sam's absence today was actually a bit glaring-and I don't think I have ever typed these words before lol.

Days might do something like this, but I doubt GH would.  It makes zero sense.   Surrogate lady (forgot her name) didn't get paid for her services, would have had to pay all medical bills/child expenses, already had her own children, and was said to be traumatized by the miscarriage.  What would surrogate ladies gain on this scheme to keep the child away be? 

Most likely down the road Molly will adopt or magically get pregnant.

Totally agree on the reactions @Soapsuds posted ( "jump Sonny jump" and TJ being terrible).  The actor playing TJ is hot, but cannot do anger, frustration or melodrama well.  The character is almost as annoying as the even more sanctimonious Portia, always being judgy worrywarts that are hung up on other people's business.  He needs a whole personality transplant to be likeable.  The writers should consider a heel turn for TJ into a Lothario or something more gray.

The GH rooftop set looks great.  Fitting place to let Sonny take a swan dive!

Thanks @John for the history lesson on falling upstairs to losing a baby.  Irna Phllips' As The World Turns, what an institution.

    • After today’s rushed and abrupt exit for Summer I immediately realized that Josh & Co. were very blindsided by AL’s decision to leave.  Not the first time this has happened to JG either; see MM & HK’s exits in 2021, MM’s exit in 2022, and of course TSJ’s exit last year. Obviously JG and our executive in charge of nothing Steve Kent don’t have a good handle on casting disruptions. And Mariah having an offscreen affair is [!@#$%^&*] ridiculous!! Meanwhile Tessa’s blonde hair is overkill with the number of blondes on the show already. I said the same thing 3 years ago…of course it was utterly ridiculous everyone was mad at Sally for getting Summer he dream job (don’t ask lol) but there was so much the show could have done without bringing on the Marchetti angle.
    • Does the ball on GL where Philip revealed that he had forced Alan out of Spaulding count or was that not Philip's idea?  There was a ball on AMC where Adam revealed that he had bankrupted Palmer, I think (or was it the other way around?), but I can't remember who threw that.
    • Thanks for honoring Ruth Buzzi. She was a treasure. I'm glad DAYS let her have some fun. I remember Imogene Coca complaining about ATWT just giving her a drab guest part.
    • It's such a delicious set of circumstances that I'm actually a little surprised that I can't think of ones that exactly match. I've just got a couple of close but no cigars (the reveal wasn't public, like when Alexis told Dominique at her and Garrett's engagement party that Garrett lied about being married; or the revealer didn't come up with the idea of the party). Maybe I need to think some more about it.
    • Not too shabby, making her mark in only six episodes. There's a project for the soap historians -- characters with the least episodes/most impact.
    • Which could make sense , except that we have seen Mariah function for years w/o any real residue pain from her upbringing. Josh decides to randomly make it a thing, when a good writer might foreshadow that for months. It's not like he's just arrived at the show. He's been there for years . Everything seems to be thought out only a few weeks ahead. It's like Phyllis all freaky from being kidnapped when she has done a million other things that didn't seem to bother her at all.
    • Unrelated, sort of, but he looks absolutely nothing like Amanda Setton or Dominic Zamprogna so it's kind of hilarious they decided to make Gio their kid.  It's very clear this was not the original origin story for Gio when they cast him. He is a very handsome guy though. 
    • I tend to agree, although going back to OLTL, Frank has so often cast guys who are meant to be attractive yet come across as cold and dead, I'm surprised he managed to get one who has a bit of a pulse.
    • For all I care, the boy can parade around in a g-string.  It won't make this show suck any less.
