I'm making a note of this. Ranger said this on Wed., 9-4-24. I hope that by Nov. sweeps you might have to, oh, I don't know, maybe eat your hat. I say this knowing I could be totally wrong. As long as we keep talking, keep watching & generally have a blast!

I agree. I might not have liked how it came about that I liked Y&R Dylan on Y&R and it seems he was acting as Harris on DAYS. And that definitely carried over back to GH.

 

And at least thanks to PM...Jason has more avenues and stories to tell now than Sonny. I mean...isn't the big discussion here today the fact that we have all seen Sonny go through the motions of this storyline all before. Meanwhile, Jason had the avenues of his kids...ladies NOT NAMED CARLY...dealing WITH Carly now that he had men (first Wagger, now my Beast Brennan)

In complete agreement. It sucked that as soon as Sonny’s meds got fixed and well honestly once PM was being interfered or taken out, Jason stopped sharing scenes with his kids and baby mamas regularly, hell Jake got sent over seas. Now he’s back to Sonny’s errand boy, but I’d love to see him working for the WSB.

I never want to hear the name McConkey again. Also- Drew can talk about Alan all he wants, I will never buy it.

Tristan Rogers looks his age. His spark as Robert was still there today though.

One thing this year did right was put Alexis back into the mix of the major stories. She should never have been sidelined to begin with. In near panic mode with that gun about to make a mistake is classic Alexis and I am happy to see it. The fact that Ric and Liz saw her was fantastic. My only real quibble is they could have made this a whodunnit, and kept the audience in the dark for a couple of months.

We have lost the smart and insightful dialogue, and any clear attempt at changing  anything with Sonny. But today’s episode was mostly fun to watch. Stupid at times, but fun.

Were they really trying to go for humor in the scenes where Sonny and Carly were trying to work out their alibi? This show is lost.

Of course the show continues to vilify Jagger so as to make Sonny's killing seem justifiable. Both Anna and Mac comment on how Jagger went to a dark place Mac seemed so enthused when he heard Jagger was back in town, he wanted to catch up. Today Mac was more like "meh, he's dead"; I guess Mac never got to talk with him.

Due to the ABC and DirectTV beef I had to go and buy an antenna to be able to catch the show live

just watched the recent two episodes on Hulu though

I really wish they had let who shot Jagger be a mystery. Its hard for me to fully care about a lot of the material happening now when we already know Sonny did it in cold blood. They took away at least a month’s worth of tension and suspense that could’ve been played up. Classic CVE wrong turn with a semi interesting setup, as entertaining as the show has been daily I knew the cracks would start to show eventually with him back in charge and here we are.

Michael and Carly just readily helping Sonny cover up the murder is true to character but definitely feels been there done this. I laughed at Nina and Tracy’s reactions to Carly and Sonny waltzing into the Q living room to sell the alibi and was glad when Tracy immediately pegged Sonny as Jagger’s killer. MB and LW have an easy on screen dynamic but I’m really not interested in another round of CarSon man, ugh.

Kristina’s grief at the grave site did not work for me at all and I really need her to get checked for the “my baby” spiels again, preferably with someone giving her a good ole Stephanie Forrester slap. They framed the gun taking as just looking for justice against Ava and Jagger in her scenes with Michael but I still hope they go deeper than that.

What I did love was her scenes with Sam and Alexis on Tuesday’s show. Glad we finally got to see Sam and Kristina connect over losing their babies right at the delivery finish line. I’m still holding out hope the show reverses a certain decision….

I was so proud of Liz dumping Finn the second he went off the rails so her letting Ric charm her like this is a bit sad for me. That said, Rebecca H and Rick H still have stellar chemistry. Them peeping Alexis tossing Sonny’s gun off the bridge was funny.

This Jason and Ava team up has been surprisingly interesting. Loved their scenes taking down the fake agent, Maura West did some good work there with Ava reclaiming her power. Then the scenes for Wednesday’s show with Diane having to defend them both and Anna revealing Jagger’s death were cool too. Anna telling Jason she was proud of him for calling the police was hilarious, this is still one of my favorite dynamics on the show.

Jordan’s deep interest in identifying Isaiah is a little clunky for me but at least she finally has something to do. Stephen A Smith trying to mack on her is always kind of odd to view, I can never take their scenes seriously and it takes me out of the viewing experience a bit. Shout out to him for making that Disney contract work to his advantage though.

Willow and Drew and their “morals” are grating on my nerves now, just hunch already lol.

I’m glad Holly showed up when she did because Lucky and his captor playing cards was so boring. I did appreciate the LnL2 flashback though. Emma Samms looks amazing my goodness Tristan Rogers’ appearance did shock me a few episodes back but he was fine in his scenes with Mac. I’m actually glad he’s back onscreen which is funny because I disliked him for years at Y&R and during his Guza era returns.

Overall the show is still decent but some of these story turns feel a little too back to basics. Still curious how the rest of the week goes.

I totally agree about Jagger's death.  A mystery would have been more interesting.  I still wouldn't have cared a lot, but at least there were multiple suspects and it could have played out longer.   

I have enjoyed Jason/Ava too.  That's about it lol. 

Hopefully, the Lucky story picks up now.

    • I loved SOAP OPERA NOW because they  did detailed analysis of the ratings.
    • I love MKA and feel like they never used her to her full potential with India. The character seemed to exist merely to fight with Alex and blackmail men into marrying/sleeping with her. As if! Then adopting an orphan right out of Little Orphan Annie...somebody BTS didn't like her, I think.
    • I mean...Sarah Michelle Gellar did go on to be a household name and food guru. I can see Amber doing the same with the same talent.  Amen.
    • 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
