Same.

 

I've already irked by it and it's only been two episodes into the New/Old Writers' run. 

oh, really? The plot thickens...lol.

 

Yeah, now seeing the scene...I would disagree with the wording, but not the body language. I do feel SB was playing against the dialogue which was very interesting. But it seem old school Sonny/Jason to me. 

 

I wouldn't be surprised. It just seems more pronounced and pointed now that it's official official. It seems like everyone who had their own point of view just off of two episodes is being giving the 'bad edit' as they like to say on reality tv shows. 

PM could keep her out of the corner. These writers? FORGETABOUTIT!!!

 

Very. Unfortunately.

So uh just like that Kristina and Blaze went through all that just to break up and we get hero Sonny keeping her bigot mother in town because he has a crush? This is what’s supposed to draw and keep viewers?

Sonny laughably talking about Ava going to prison. 
 
Honestly Brennan just waltzing into the Metro Court just helped to highlight that GH is literally a soap where you’re only rewarded by cheering on the bad guys. It’s actually sad that so many writers and producers have decided this is what GH should be and if you’re against that at all, you’re not long for the show.

It’s absolutely a fireable offense in 2024. Isn’t FV gay himself? Like what?!

Today was mostly a snooze fest for me. The only thing that really held my interest were the Willow and Drew scenes and Sonny and Lois making up. Everything else

That scene with Tracy and Cody talking about Finn reeked of setting up his return. I really hope we are spared, the show is so much more pleasant without the OLTL crew running around the canvas playing their #525,600 character.

Feels very much like FV using the Kish playbook to blame the ratings on the gays and deflect from the much more prominent issues within the show, starting with Natalia. At least with Kish on OLTL it was a massive storyline and they probably did take a hit in the demos somewhat because of it 15 years ago (not that that excuses how he disposed of them). Here the lesbians feel like a scapegoat for much bigger systemic issues - which OLTL also had a lot of at the time.

I still have absolutely no idea why Brennan and Valentin are free and how Brennan is off the hook re: Pikeman. Was he undercover or was he actually the bad guy lol?

This is what frustrates me most. Carly is a town hero despite everyone knowing how awful she is and the dangers she has and continues to put her children in. Ava is just as bad but because she’s against the bad guys with a longer history on the show, she’s considered worse. All of the things Sonny, Carly, and Jason have done and caused all over the years onscreen is to be ignored because Ava killed annoying Connie when she was played by Master Thespian Kelly Sullivan.

Literally months of story so that what? They could both be free. Sonny gets backs on his meds. And I guess Jagger gets embarrassed because if you’re against the bad guys, the show will remind us you’re an idiot and will never win. Oh and Anna could be ruined once again after literally a month or so before telling Sonny she’ll take down criminals and then let her ex go free

    • It really is ridiculous how happy episodes from 40 years ago make me. God, MKA is so young!
    • Holy sh.it. THAT was a damn soap opera. I’m at a loss for words for how good that was.
    • A private elevator penthouse with a spiral staircase to the primary suite.  Sign me up! The only deficit was that various riff-raffs seemed to have easy access to the elevator.

    • Same here.  Anyone who voluntarily left Margo's penthouse set (except to go overseas or to Heaven) was immediately on my blacklist.  lol.

    • The penthouse was my favorite set... and it changed hands from Margo to Draper/April to Miles/Nicole then to just Miles... before he opted to give that beautiful place for that drab house with the even more drab Beth.  That was a jump the shark moment for me LOL
    • The storyline April and Draper are involved in during the summer/autumn of 1979 seems fairly "benign" but soon turns very serious.  April has a VERY intrusive, wealthy mother (Margo Huntington Dorn).  Margo knows that April and Draper (who've recently had a miscarriage and are theoretically never going to be able to conceive another baby) want to buy a house.  Margo hoodwinks them into buying a house they can't afford.  The house is listed at $100,000 (about $400,000 in today's dollars).  Margo pays the first $35,000 and leads Draper to believe the asking price of the house is $65,000 instead of $100,000.  If Draper finds out his meddling mother-in-law paid 1/3 of the cost of the home and tricked him, he'll be mad as hell.   Meanwhile, Draper has received a job offer from a prestigious New York law firm.  Margo pulls some strings and has the senior partner in the firm rescind the offer, to keep April in Monticello.  If Draper finds out about THAT, he'll be even angrier with Margo than he will be about the house trickery.  All of that is "bubbling under the surface" in the fall of 1979 but will be the next major story, as everything begins to spiral out of control.   Yep, you've got the Karrs and their very basic middle-class house, the Victorian-themed place where Miles and Nicole live, April and Draper's old craftsman house with the exposed beams, the Madisons & their Mission revival house, and Margo with her 1970s-chic penthouse.  Each of the sets is completely different.  And their budget was like zero, lol.  
    • It felt weird and out of place.  I get it. While I agree with those on here that say he's gotten better, it's still really bad. I'm not seeing the "good" acting some see...but I'll give him a B for being better than when he first started. There's potential. I'll leave it at that. 
    • It's like watching paint dry at a slow-ass pace. It's bad acting. Entirely. Excellent? With Claybon? Never. Ever.
