I saw one of the clips with Alexis mentioning her sister, Kristina. I don't know how often that character is mentioned but it was nice to see that history used. For such a forced and at the time pointless addition, her death generated story that still carries on now.

Go Trina! Tell hypocritical ass Joss what’s what. Her mom’s best friend is literally a Hitman. Josslyn is truly Carly’s daughter. Her empty threat to Ava was laughable. I’m glad Ava opened up to Trina, they have a really nice relationship. I hope they keep her as Ava’s ally.

Kristina actually thought Molly and TJ needed to consult with her to name their own baby? My gosh I find myself disliking her more and more each day.

Lord they are determined to completely ruin Jagger. This feels like when RC brings back past characters for the sake of history and then completely ruins them or kills then off. I wouldn’t be surprised if Jagger leaves port Charles in a body bag. Showing up the day of the memorial and getting Ava to make a false statement as well damn.

Oop Jason went off on Anna and it was well deserved even though I thought she made good points to him about still working for Sonny all these years later. Anna didn’t even sound like she believed it herself when she said she was going to take down Sonny.

Molly found the papers holy shi.t! I’m ready for her to go ALLLLL the way off on Kristina.

Really enjoyed all of the Ashford family scenes. Just great acting all around.

i skipped all of the James/Cody and Deception scenes so this was another really great episode to me.

Pleasant surprise to see LH pop up for such an important episode for the Davis women. KM hasn’t even been bad lately, but when LH plays Sam she’s so alive and vibrant. I would love to have her back on a soap permanently one day. Been a fan dating back to Passions.

So happy seeing Ric swoop in to be there for his daughter. It’s clear where Alexis’ priorities have been.

Everything surrounding the funeral was just done so well.

Kristina my gosh, the nerve. I am SO glad Molly overheard what she called the baby and went OFF. Because she’s right, Kristina was more concerned about mobster daddy than the baby she was planning to steal from her sister. And please annoying poster do not tell me I’m wrong for saying she was stealing her sisters baby. 
 

The Sonny and Ava scenes were interesting. I almost believe Sonny with how seriously they’ve shifted Jagger so quickly.

Overall I’m really enjoying the show right now. Most everything is working for me, except the lack of Liz.

Cemetery scenes were AMAZING. I’m so glad that Molly laid it all out. I’m glad they showed the flashbacks too which again just show how awful Kristina is. If we’re supposed to feel sympathy for Kristina it’s not working. She was going to steal that baby and didn’t care how it would affect her sister at all. And Alexis knew.

I saw a lot of the Lulu/Maxie friendship early on so I thought KS did really well with comatose Lulu.

Were Dante and Lulu broken up when she went in her coma?

Oh man I hope Jordan runs into BOTH Alexis and Kristina and reads them the riot act.

NLG is so believable as the mom of the Davis girls. Even with this whole new crop of actresses, the chemistry is there.

Nice Friday cliffhanger with Lucky.

Really enjoyed the Ric and Molly scenes as well.

So, all over, everywhere people are hating Kristina & blaming her for everything. I do not hate her; I love her & also I figure there is plenty of blame to go around. We can blame Ava, Kristina, Tolly, Tolly's family, Sam a little bit & most of all, Alexis!

She warned everyone about these possibilities way back in the beginning. Yet, when things began to happen, she did nothing. Or at least nothing worthwhile.

She paid lip service to being Switzerland but gave Kristina websites & resources where she could look things up & became able to create that affidavit. Then, still saying she would not take a side, she looked over the affidavit & then kept it for Kristina, in her briefcase, which is where Milly found it!!!

So, I figure Alexis had 2 strong alternatives. 1. Tell Krissy she had to begin seeing a counselor or shrink because she had begun to be overinvested in the baby & it would hurt her in the long run if she did not. 2. Call a Davis Women Family Meeting & tell everyone that Krissy was overly investing in the baby & that she needed all of their support to begin seeing a counselor or a shrink.

If this had been done, it is true, we'd have been robbed of all of this high drama BUT the Davis family would not be split.

This was rare. So powerful. Also a possible reason why Alexis treats Kristina as the golden child. Her bias is so obvious. Molly always get short shrift. Krissy is #1 for both of her parents.

Wow. The show is on fire. The cemetery scenes, TJ's family, Rick and Molly, Laura and Liz, Maxie and Lulu, Lucky, Dante and Chase,  Kristina and Alexis, Jordan of all people!

A classic soap would invest in TJ and Molly as a couple. Not with the same old stories, WTD, divorce after divorce etc. With The Gates coming out, this is the time to write some modern day drama for them. The problematic bi sister from hell would bring an interesting aspect to them.

The only weak spot... Lois and the Deception stupidity. I am not sure I am interested in watching Lois doing anything, but those scenes were too much. FF material, but I guess the show is making money by partnering with a cosmetics company or something. 

I know this has been addressed before, but in some scenes the direction is way too static. People don't talk standing opposite each other without moving at all. This is Days of Our Lives bad soap. Have one person sit, bring some coffee, play with their phone, eat, do something.

Yes, they were divorced & Lulu had been seeing someone new & that relationship had become serious. I cannot remember his name. Griffin? Dustin? I honestly can't recall but I have a vivid picture of him in my stupid brain. 

Jordan, who has been of absolutely NO USE to Molly, better watch her step. If she plays with fire, she just may get burnt. 

Alexis, as she is played by NLG is a very deeply flawed individual but nuanced, layered, complex. Her girls don't have as many layers to them. 

I have been SO worried about Molly because she has been so totally alone. That moment, when she saw Ric was wonderful. You could feel the relief flowing through her. Hip hip hooray for Daddy.

Lulu was dating Dustin played by Mark Lawson.  I think he was a teacher.  I think he was going to propose to Lulu, but he died in the explosion at the Floating Rib.  He sort of reminds of Josh Kelly and I can't recall much about him.  

DZ had left the show and then returned not too long before Lulu's accident.  He was all brainwashed in Turkey or whatever that story was.  lol

    • I feel like the lawsuit storyline was resolved quickly because the show didn’t want to spring for more sets.
    • It's been a while, but we have seen the foyer to Bill and Hayley's house as well as the exterior entrance to their house. The foyer was first seen in the premiere episode when Hayley met Vanessa at the house.
    • There's still a year or two before Larkin arrives. Joel is there already. EON does noticeably youthify, although I think they carry it off. Admittedly I haven't seen most of the Jody stories, which from what people here have said aren't great.
    • I don't mind the actor who plays Brian. He's fine. The problem for me is that Paige seems so wishy wishy. She doesn't seem to have much of a personality at this point so I don't see why Brian would be so besotted with her. She just lurches from one trauma to the next. Granted, it's only been a month, but she's not as vibrant as April or even Deborah who has had minimal screen time by this point.  I do worry about the influence of GH on the show since I'm in fall of 1979 and characters have conversations and there's not the drive to "youthify" the show. However, I think Marceau (sp?) is gone. He was given a rather tame sendoff. How long was the actor on the show? I hope this is not a sign of things to come. I worry the show is setting up a murder mystery around one of my favorite characters and I will be mightily annoyed. I also noticed in recent Search for Tomorrow episodes uploaded to YT that the actors playing Logan and Eliot showed up. I don't watch the show but they were in the screencaps. When does Larkin Malloy show up or has he already left? Joel Crothers hasn't shown up either unless I've blinked and missed him.
    • Dr Linden. She treated Vanessa's drug addiction (although Vanessa seemed to forget that by Henry's suicide attempt) , and she's mentioned during Reva's PPD. Although I can't recall if she's actually shown right off the top of my head. She probably was temporarily shelved when Sonni was a therapist (between her crazy times) And I think Billy sees her after he falls off the wagon after Reva's death.
    • Kinda agree. I have some issues with the sets. Nicole's living room is bland-looks like a display home. Bill and Hayley's is too small and basically hideous. And neither of them have a front door/entrance or staircase. People just appear from the corridor. Those green accents  at Uptown are way too much. Also,Naomi and Vanessa not having an office or a home .
    • Thanks @Paul Raven  That Grainger story always reads like hog-wild melodrama, not very similar to the more subtle stories for Rita in her last few years. I wonder how Lenore played the material.
    • More from 1976 Lynn, apparently making every effort to overcome her alcoholism, accepts a baby-sitting job. However, when the baby starts crying, Lynn begins to get nervous and takes one drink, then another. By the time Bruce and Van arrive home, Lynn is on the floor, ineffectually trying to find the doctor’s number, sure the baby is ill. When the mother arrives; she vows to let everyone know what goes on in the mayor’s house.Bruce insists that Lynn has to go, but Van, learning that Lynn can’t remember drinking the cooking sherry, calls Joe to report Lynn’s blackouts. Joe wants her institutionalized but gives in to Van’ s pleas that Lynn needs loving attention. Eddie has sent some of Felicia’s work to a New |York gallery owner and reports to Charles that Lisa Cooper wants to exhibit Felicia’s work. Charles refuses to tell her this and later admits he feels he has “cowed”her attention because of his being confined to a wheelchair. What Charles doesn’t say is: that he’s plagued with fears she’ll leave him for another man. Felicia is exuberant as she starts painting again. She tells Charles how she feels about it, but, jealous of anyone or anything that takes attention from him, Charles tries to undermine her confidence. Eddie finally professes his love for her. He will be happy to step forward if she will only let Be and admit that they belong together. Charles tries to stop Felicia’s ‘trip to New York by making her doubt her own work, and when that fails, he finds business reasons at his bookshop to keep Di, his ex-wife, who is running it for him, from accompanying her. Felicia finally decides it’s not going to work and tells Eddie they might as well call it off. Instead, he arranges for Lisa Cooper to come to Rosehill. Charles is rude and insulting to Lisa when she arrives at the house to view Felicia’s work, and his derogatory remarks about shady gallery dealings prompt Lisa to tell Eddie that living in such an atmosphere could permanently stunt an artist’s development; if Felicia is subjected to this indefinitely, it’s not even worth Lisa’s while to take her on as a client. Felicia finally decides she can’t be torn apart any longer and must accede to Charles’s demands. She tells Eddie her career is over and she won’t paint any more, breaks down in his arms, crying bitterly, then pulls away, unwilling to acknowledge that her feelings for him are deeper than she dare face. Charles is delighted when she prepares to dispose of her art supplies, insisting everything will be fine once she has accepted that this part of her life is over. But she cannot do it. She promises him that he can set the limits and terms, but she must paint. Arlene discovers that her mother is planning to avoid the surgery she needs, and the accompanying medical bills, by leaving Rosehill and moving in with her sister Dorothy out west. Arlene manages to prevent this by calling her aunt and telling her the truth about Carrie’s condition. Dr. Tom Crawford has been footing the costs of Carrie’s presurgery tests, but Arlene knows that Carrie won’t like this. So she tells Carrie that David Hart, the son of Meg’s late husband, the former mayor, has heard about their plight and forwarded the money as a gesture of friendship, to be repaid when possible. To convince Carrie that she does indeed have the money, Arlene asks Ray to just lend it to her for a few hours, so she can convince Carrie and then immediately return it. Ray instructs her to get dressed for a night on the town and takes her, out implying that the money will be waiting at the end of the evening. When Ian Russell happens to join them, Arlene doesn’t suspect anything is afoot, but when e Ray suddenly leaves, she becomes furious, realizing what he’s done. But she finds Mr: Russell a distinguished and cultured man, and decides there’s no harm in having a drink. After cocktails and stimulating conversation, Ian suggests that they go to his place, and Arlene agrees. But when they get there, Ian matter of factly suggests that they skip the preliminaries and get on with it. Ian is embarrassed and annoyed to discover that Arlene is not a professional call girl and that Ray didn’t explain to her the purpose of their |meeting. He is apologetic and solicitous, until Arlene, explaining why Ray felt he could pull this on her, mentions her sick mother in need of an operation. Ian starts to laugh at this overworked standard line, and a livid Arlene storms out of his apartment. Thinking it over, Ian decides he’s more intrigued with Arlene than he is annoyed at Ray, and calls Ray for her telephone number. But Arlene is not delighted to hear from him, and he has to use a good deal of soothing charm before she agrees to have dinner with him at one of the better local restaurants.During dinner Ian again apologizes for his mistake, and he gives Arlene a diamond pendant as a token of his gratitude for her forgiving him. Ray arrives to interrupt an otherwise enjoyable evening with a business matter, and quietly reminds Arlene that Ian is his customer and she’s not to cut herself in with him. At home, Arlene examines the pendant and is convinced that it’s genuine. She hides it in her dresser drawer, unable to bring herself to show it to her mother.
    • LOL!! That's funny.  I actually thought he got a little better.
