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.

    • Am I remembering correctly that the Madison's lived in a Spanish revival-style house? I have a vague recollection of the fireplace looking especially Spanish in style. It is unusual that Montecello had so many architectural styles.  Obviously, that might occur IRL.  But, look at other east coast soaps and there is a definitive style that is throughout (because it was styled by a set decorator) regardless of the income of the occupants.
    • @kalbir MSW was a powerhouse for CBS. Angela Lansbury was a superb actress. In 1985, TV viewers were tiring of the primetime soaps and the like. People wanted storytelling and MSW was great at that and had great guest stars. Storytelling -- an amazing and novel concept. CBS Daytime by 1985 was beating ABC so CBS was on the upswing.
    • I'd say just the opposite - conflict means they will find out and then be at odds. For the limited amount of time people on this show have conflict (if they aren't named Nina or Ric, I guess).
    • Totes mcgoats (aka I agree). But, now the character needs to move forward.  Clyde's exit was 12/11/24.  It is May.  She and Chad have been on one date. I don't think they've slept together. And she was only planning on sticking around for a year.
    • That is one of the best insults I've heard in a long time.  I burst out laughing when Kat called Eva that.  LOL Their scenes, of course, were really good.  Colby and Ambyr have so much chemistry.  The only thing I'd change is Kat saying "you're dead to me."  That's a phrase usually said about someone you care about.  I would've preferred something like "You will never be my sister," or something similar to that.  Nice contrast at the end with both mothers/daughters:  Kat comforting/consoling her mother, and Eva being locked out by her mother.  Yeah, I wasn't a big of fan of the singing either, especially after your daughter's life has been destroyed.  What?  LOL And I also agree with those that thought Dana/Leslie's scenes with the Dupree's didn't feel right since Eva is not a Dupree....unless she is.  But as of right now, she's not. 
    • Trisha Mann-Grant, Ambyr Michelle, Sean Freeman are destined for bigger and better things. They need to move on as soon as their initial contracts are done.
    • Daphnée Duplaix and Trisha Mann-Grant on Instagram live, 5/5/2025 just concluded, saved here https://www.instagram.com/p/DJSsYb7PDv8/                
    • I really need to see Anita in a scene that isn't with a family member. In fact, I would have preferred that she would have gotten rid of the mob and had a one on one with Leslie to lay down the law with her.  I'm going to say it, Mike Manning has been completely lifeless on this show. Other than people's superficial fondness for him, I don't get what they see in him as an actor. I never saw him on DAYS though. The show had another really strange cut right before the opening credits where it looked like they almost cut off Nicole mid-sentence.  Kat/Eva are carrying this show on their backs. Lock them in for lifetime contracts, I beg.
    • There's a 1980 scene of Victor and Katherine in the Chancellor Estate living room where they went over a contract that would put Victor in charge of Chancellor Industries, but it was rewritten that Katherine brought Victor to Genoa City so he could run Chancellor Industries.
    • Put me in the minority in being happy about Cat not being Abby. After the two adult recasts played tag with the role, it's time for a few years of rest. I have a huge list of things I hate about RC's writing, but that choice was not one of them.
