 I would bet there is close to zero audience that wanted to watch a conflict filled surrogacy storyline go almost to full term and end like this, with the clear promise of more conflict about it is to come.

Like others, I'm not sorry we won't get a custody fight, but I do think it was a big mistake to wait this long to end the pregnancy.

Kristina was pretty far along, and it's kind of awful to end it at this point.

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.

Plus, there’s been a lot more focus on Joss again 🤮 Why exactly does this disgusting little trash bag get turned on by women who have accidents? Britt died because of it, and now Kristina. Is GH ever gonna realize that we’d much rather see Trina? Or anyone else, for that matter.

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!

I’m guessing this is one of the reasons why Mulcahey’s gone. But now I’m curious as to why all of this was approved in the first place if it was gonna be changed just a few months later. Btw, I really, really hope Drew/Willow isn’t dropped and that the Trina/Ava friendship isn’t ended. 

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?

Part of me does think it’s a good thing that we were spared a Kristina vs. Molly/TJ custody battle, but I really hope all three of them are given good storylines in the aftermath of the baby’s death and are not just sent to the back burner. Kate Mansi and Kristen Vaganos definitely proved that they could drive story today. And I still think that there’s a lot they could do with all of these characters. All it takes is the right writer. 

As for Sonny, I guess we know who’s gonna save him lol

Who? Jason? Or do you mean Morgan? 

I still think at some point we will find out that the original surrogate lied about miscarrying and she has a Tolly baby out there - it just always felt so quick to me when it happened. 

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. 

I want to congratulate @kvaganos on her incredible work today. I watched the air show back twice to see her eat the [!@#$%^&*] out of those scenes w Sonny + break my heart in the sister scenes.

Miracle baby, yeah, but the other thing, it's just the soapy goodness of it.

Glad I’m not the only one! My boss thinks I’m crazy too, but she buys into my theories because I end up being right a lot of the time.

Some Kraze fans have thought that OG Surrogate was lying all along. Two other things. No way Ali would have left the hospital!! Natalia attitude change way too fast!!

The TJ actor is horrendous bad. He needs to be gone or recast.

He is at the bottom of the episode count among contract players. He doesn't deserve to be on more.

I knew Tj and Molly baby wasn't going to survive as soon as they wrote this storyline because every soap opera hasn't had a biracial baby born in decades 

Why not? Barack Obama and Kamala Harris are biracial.

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.

Did the baby actually die, or did one of Sonny's enemy's switch the baby out?

I am sure GH can do fine without any new babies for a year or two. Or three.

Because I thought GH was done shoving this horrible character down our throats. 

This show never needed another baby/surrogate storyline in the first place. It should've died months ago.
