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.

    • 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.
    • AMC was about a decade later so things may have changed by then, although maybe they never approached her anyway. She joined Santa Barbara in 1985, when they didn't seem interested in bringing back Hope. SB ended in late 1992, so JFP could have asked her back, but I doubt she did. For as much as JFP clearly had some use for Rick Hearst given that she hired him on GH and kept him around as often as she could, I don't think she ever used Alan-Michael well. I can't see Elvera as Delia, but she could have worked well as Faith - she had a glimpse of a strong personality alongside warmth, which only one Faith ever managed (Catherine Hicks).
    • IIRC, FC reruns aired for awhile on Lifetime, way before the network became the Women in Peril Channel, lol.
    • PAM!! YES!!! You have jogged my memory. She worked at Cedars. She's mentioned in a write-up of Tim's history in the show. It says she was a nurse, but I seem to remember she was a secretary at Cedars, working for either Ed or Sarah. (It's almost 50 years ago, so I definitely could be wrong). I'm certain she was an unwed mother. I recall reading an interview with the actress, Maureen Silliman (I looked it up, that's her correct name, LOL). She started on the show just before the Dobsons started writing it. She was shocked to get a script that said her character had been pregnant since she hit town. I remember a scene where she told Tim she was going to leave SF for a better job for her daughter's sake (really, I think she was upset he was serious about Rita). I don't remember them getting married and leaving town, but according to "Who's Who in Springfield" that's how the characters were written out. Mattson did All My Children for several years, so she might have been persuadable. Here's an interesting factoid I recently learned on these message boards: Elvera Roussel was in the running to play Delia on RH when the show first hit the air. How wild is it that Mattson played Delia for a while? (Though from what I saw of her performance, she was miscast). It's hard to know if Roussel would have been a good Delia. You'd think she would have been better suited to playing Faith Coleridge, but who knows? She didn't get to show a whole lot of range as Hope.
    • If I were to do an EON reboot, I think I would start at the beginning, with Mike Karr leaving the police force in order to begin a new career as an attorney, and dealing with his wife, Sara's, crooked family.
