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.

Any chance of a Jason/Ava hookup?

Getting Lucky to Port Charles ASAP would help a lot

Very. 

Hopefully it won't be like Brenda in Rome. How long did it take? 3 months from first appearance?

Maybe. Whatever it was too long

It really was. I remember SOD even picking on them on that just as much as the fans. 

 

I love Brad Rowe, too, and Ms. Balkan Wife, too, but it felt like forever.

It was forever.  Brenda was in Rome from Aug-Oct. 2010

 

9/4

Hilarious that Ric and Liz saw Alexis dumping Sonny’s gun.

Holly looks amazing.

Sonny and Carly being so nonchalant as they come up with an alibi for Sonny is why this show will never move forward. It was literally just another day in the park for them.

And now all the good guys are basically blaming Jagger for getting murdered.

I thought that today LW was extremely effective showing her regrets the morning after & how badly she is now thinking that she wishes she had thought things through better, last night. Also I expect she is hearing Jason in her head & he's saying, "GIrl, what is wrong with you?" 

Anne Schoettle is now writing at GH

Carly and Sonny suck. Carly for once seems like she doesn’t want to be sucked into Sonny’s mess but she’s still going along with it.

An FBI agent got murdered at the Quartermaines which Tracy rightly called it was Sonny and the whole crew is just sitting around lounging talking about Lois’ accent? Absurd.

Happy to see Ric make his way around the canvas. 

Edited September 5, 20241 yr by Antoyne

Yeah… those scenes at the Quartermaines today seemed a little out of place and campy. Did Ron Carlivati write them or something?

And btw, 15th Avenue and 85th Street is the location of an Outback Steakhouse. I’ve eaten there many times 😂😂

Wasn’t a fan of all the propaganda today either; the anti-John/Jagger kind and the Joss kind. A Sonny/Carly reunion or fake relationship would be worth it just to see her trailer trash head explode.

I wonder if their wild shooting schedule has anything to do with stuff like this. Because they shoot way out of order, and it’s caused performers since OLTL to have to try to put together where they are in a story. HBS complained about it when Frank was running OLTL. I can’t remember if it was also her or someone else that said they were filming a funeral and they were having a hard time figuring out who it was, and what the story was.

The bts scramble this year has added stuff being filmed just a couple of weeks before air, and that is not common now.
