I don't know how much of it's true or not regarding Morgan but someone on Twitter I believe said last month that the one reason why FV doesn't resurrect Morgan is cause his death is meant to be a permanent consequences for Sonny/Carly and the ultimate dangerous lifestyle they lead and chose. Morgan continued death is the consequences of that choice they repeatedly made. Maybe someone in the know can confirm or deny this

Oh...my heart!!

Best opening for me growing up. Especially Lucy's eyebrow raise. The strings during the Puerto Rico part. And oh yes, Mac's turtleneck. My history with JY goes back to his WEREWOLF series as a kid and even now he could still get it.

Considering how laughable that seems in relation to his repeatedly casting the same two men over and over again in new roles, I doubt it. Seems more likely to me that he doesn’t want to deal with Bryan Craig again, or the complaints if they replace him and Craig bitches online about it, plus MO’s complaints.

Like I just said on the Y&R thread, what was it with last week and soaps having cliffhangers on Thursdays? lol.

 

I thought Kristina's fall was well done. Definitely well-acted (shout out to Ms. Lopez as Blaze...she has definitely grown acting-wise). I did not like how Gio reacted, but this episode went a long way to explaining his actions so also well done. He just seem so out of his depth. Thank God for Joss taking charge. But hey, it gave a nice little Gio/Trina scene so I didn't hate it.

 

And thank you for @AbcNbc247 for the heads-up on Trina/Ava. Outside of the obvious drama going on, TA was looking DEAD DROP GORGEOUS and her presence during the fall was on point as she locked eyes with Ava/the window. But again, I don't like that they are doing such a job on the Trina/Ava friendship...but as of now, that friendship is becoming Ava's only saving grace. 

 

Meanwhile...I saw the comments about Ava making the crime scene even more complicated by moving stuff. And I wanted to pick on it, too. However, that was Wagger's stuff that Kristina fell over, and it was already established that Ava did not want anyone to know she was sleeping with Wagger so I guess I could understand why she would complicate the crime scene by getting rid of the only thing that would have set her free.

 

Side-note...Wagger was WOOF in that towel..and NO beat-up makeup. hehe. And Chase looked nice in that suit. And it looks like someone found the right dress pants for him, too. 

 

I love it when NLG plays Mama Bear. She is absolute ferocious. And I live for it. Especially after those scenes with TJ which I found surprisingly dull though I like the actor. 

 

I also live for any moment where Scotty can stick it to Sonny. Kin Shriner plays their history oh so well. If we make it to the custody case, that is going to be delicious.

 

So my Beast Mr. Brennan is right back where he started as the head of the WSB. How long before Carly realizes she's out because of him?

Yep. Pretty much.

Nina has a history of being extremely insecure and needy and she's always acting like she desperately wants people to like her and be friends with her. That's just how her character has always been. Also, she has been perfectly fine without Sonny for the entire time that she's been on this show, so I don't get this idea that she and Sonny are somehow this great love story and they need to get back together because somehow Nina makes Sonny "a better man" or whatever crap people like to spew out.

I just don't like Nina and Sonny because they are an awful couple and they never should have happened to begin with and even though I could care less for Nina these days, I think she deserves a whole lot better than him. But I don't know if there is a man alive that even exists that can handle a person like Nina, with maybe the exception of Valentin. And we all know how their relationship turned out in the end.

I wasn't disagreeing about Nina not needing Sonny. I agree that she does not & since she finally figured that out, she knows it now, too. I believe for a time she mistakenly was still tied to the idea of them as a couple, or being in love with being in love, if you will. 

My crack about relevancy was just a nod to her ... oh, non-conformity is the only word I can think of. I mean, yes, she is a fashion plate, so she cares to some degree what people think but she's also quite irreverent & even nerdy. I think Nina could snort when she laughs & not think anything of it. Maybe I'm just rambling.

I'm a total sucker for 2 baby things - socks & hats. When TJ finally let himself break down over those very ferociously striped baby socks I was quite choked up. I was glad Curtis said the line about people grieving differently. I really do not want to go through TJ turning his anger on Molly right about now! 

Her reading of the baby autopsy to Ava just about killed me. 

I remain so pleased that Sonny saved himself yesterday, what an unexpected growth in self-awareness, which apparently was provoked by Molly doing such a good job of telling him off. I had to chuckle, though, that he wouldn't tell Kevin about Hallucinating Morgan! Of course he would be one who would withhold from his therapist. 

I feel quite bittersweet at this ending of Patrick's time. And, quite leery of the new team. But, with that said, I am so pleased that we got the wedding over with, Gregory died, Finn burned & crashed, Pikeman got spiked & Tolly Baby Girl, for the good or not, is well dead & at some point soon will be buried. Now, whatever they want to do with these people in this town, they can set about doing it.

So they fired the previous HW team only to bring back one of them to still co-HW. How does that make a lick of sense? Did he suddenly get better ideas than the ones that got him canned?

PM set so much good stuff in motion to the point that honestly GH became my favorite soap of the now three I’m watching since I came back to GH, but man it’s been obvious something has changed drastically and not for the better. 
 

Also tbh if MB has made his whole life and mental health well being, playing Sonny then that’s on him. The show catering to him and Burton throughout the years has been so stupid and why the show suffered so much.

You guys seem to really love Brenda but I have no clue why you think Sonny the unrepentant mob boss deserves a happy ending with a nice character.

Tbf I have zero 90’s relationship with Sonny and Brenda and only have seen them from Brenda’s return during the awful Balkin story, but there was definitely chemistry but that doesn’t erase 20 years that I’ve watched(well ignore the ones I skipped) of Sonny being a mobster and having several people killed. Sonny is no hero and should be shot and killed alone as his ultimate ending.

    • Except she never worked there at all and barely even knew where the Chancellor Industries plant was located  In 1980, Kay attempted to install Derek Thurston (her third husband) in a position at Chancellor Industries.  The show introduced a character named George Packard who'd supposedly been running Chancellor since Phillip's demise in 1975.  (George Packard's storyline in 1980 was attempting to keep Derek Thurston from bankrupting the company.)   We didn't hear much of anything about Chancellor Industries for the next twenty-five years.  Then, at that point, we met Eliot Hampton (?) who'd been running the company for decades and had been embezzling from it.  Jill took it upon her herself to oust Eliot Hampton (?) and take control of the company.  That's when Kay became actively involved in the management of the company.  From 1974 till 2004 Kay Chancellor was strictly a hands-off owner.  It was downright absurd that the last ten years of life, she was written as this formidable businesswoman who'd always been involved in Chancellor Industries.  
    • Well, it's going to be something when he finds out the truth.  Agreed.  On that note, I can't until it all comes out. I find Lulu to be ridiculous. 
    • I almost posted this because that was my initial reaction too:  this is weird/cringe, to sing around a piano after such a huge family shattering bomb was dropped.  But I got over that and just enjoyed her voice, the song and the montage we saw as everyone's emotions in the aftermath were pouring out.
    • The Equalizer original series was not a big hit yet it became a movie franchise and got a reboot series. The Equalizer reboot lasted 5 seasons, so one season longer than the original series.
    • Today is Sean Freeman's birthday

      His social media/IMDb doesn't have his age but from some posts he's made, I'm guessing 1989 is his birth year.
    • Here's the timeline, as I recall it being published. The WGA strike was 5/2–9/27/2023 Annalynne McCord was announced as being hired in December 2023, for a one-year contract https://deadline.com/2024/06/days-of-our-lives-when-to-expect-annalynne-mccord-peacock-1235975806/ RonC's first scripts back from the strike began airing May 31, 2024 (around Konstantine & Maggie's wedding) https://www.tvinsider.com/1137709/days-of-our-lives-writers-return-15000th-episode-storylines/ Her first air date was June 19th 2024. The actress has said she was not told who she would be playing until she started taping. RonC 's replacements were announced July 2024, with his scripts airing through April 2025 Side note: DAYS social media team seems to be playing fast and loose with BTS videos, in terms of how far in advance they film content (e.g. their April Fools' Joke videos were clearly not filmed on 4/1/25), so we shouldn't assume anyone's current status, versus those who were there nine months ago.
    • April and her husband (Draper) are the "young leads" who tie all the storyline threads together.  They're normally in the center of the action.  In this particular storyline, Draper is the attorney who represents Paige Madison.  (The district attorney, Logan Swift, has given Paige Madison "temporary immunity from prosecution" if she will lead the police to the members of the Tobias Gang who stole the firearms.  But Paige mainly just ducks bullets from various gang members who pop-up to assassinate her.)    
    • It's one thing to post about a soap's rumors or gossip, which in point of fact we've all done. It's another to present yourself as the inside source who knows something to be fact that's about to break wide, then backtrack and call it just Twitter speculation. Between those two extreme poles you have to commit to one or the other. If I got something wrong, I'd say it. (Nor would I keep playing insider after what I pulled with Drake Hogestyn, which should've gotten someone permanently banned.) And regardless, you don't open with this 'news' you don't actually want to stand by yet by mocking DRW's extremely valid concerns re: how the Trina character and Tabyana Ali has been marginalized and put out to virtual pasture ever since the day NAC left. Her playing out her current contract in a C-storyline with Kai does not change that.
    • Yeah, I thought it would be more explosive or heated and it was kind of standard.  Both can do more with the material.  I just don't think the writing was there.
