Same.

GH struck gold with the Cam/Spencer/Trina/Joss quad and they ruined it. 

Also same.

In the opinion of the posters here, who is the better pairing for Elizabeth, Ric or Lucky?

JASON. Especially right now...well before the New/Old Writers came back. 

 

Outside of that...I'm liking her with Ric so far though it's doomed to fail. As for Lucky...I'm curious to see them together to see how each character has grown since 2011 (?) when Lucky was on last, but I don't feel they will be good if they are still stuck emotionally back in 1999.

I’m sorry but this Lucky and Holly stuff is such a snooze. 

Complete snooze. Who thought this would be interesting?

I disagree.  These recent Molly/Kristina scenes, like today and at the grave site, do warrant screaming matches considering what the situation is.  I kind of like seeing family scenes where people yell at each other, especially if it's a serious topic.  Kate/Kristen/NLG were once again great in their scenes together today. 

Totally agreed. The correct emotion was being conveyed and it’s very realistic for siblings to go off on each other like this for less in real life.

Good to see we’re keeping Kristina as a complete as.shole. Everything Molly said to her today was true. I have no idea what Alexis was thinking knowing how Kristina is still acting. I’m glad Molly basically let her know she’s not even going to bother looking to Alexis for support. Hopefully we see her bonding more and more with Ric.

Really liked the bonding scenes today of Ric and TJ. 

In general they’re doing a great job getting Ric all over the canvas.

So much this. Nicely done. The schism he can cause for Alexis and her girls has so much potential...moreso since Molly is now grown. 

Lucky's return is a total BOMB!

While I can’t wait for him to screw things for Alexis and Kristina, I unfortunately think it’s going to mess up the relationship with Molly whereas I would want it to push her more towards her father.

IKNOW!!! It's amazing. 

Last year his wife had a baby. They said that she had the baby but he gained the weight!

Perfectly alright to disagree. You're even entitled to. I just think - or maybe it's a dread - Willow is gonna find out that Nina has been doing the wild thing with him & Nina did not fess up to her about it. I predict Nina is now gonna mess up this nice space she's had with her daughter. 

Hehe. True.

 

I call it pandemic body also because it's on actors who I don't find attractive whatsoever, but with the extra 'junk in their truck' so to speak...I admit I do a double take. Michael Mealer on Y&R also had a similar thing happen during 2020...and recently I feel due to his girl also having a baby. Don't find either guy attractive normally, but add a little bit of weight and I'm looking at them like a piece of meat. lol. Let me quit...this heatwave must be getting to me. 

 

Yeah, that's another shoe that I'm waiting to drop...Willow finding out about Nina/Drew. And for it to have full impact, I felt we needed to see all three characters' point of view. It's like the kiss felt like Willow started it more than it was just in the moment for both of them to me due to the acting and direction. So I was happy to see Willow verbalizing that aloud. Nina/Drew (up to that point) have discussed their whatever they are and slowly allowed their feelings to grow. But they had not at the same time discuss their REAL feelings...only their feelings were growing. I would say Nina has verbalized it more than Drew before the writing regime change. So Drew for me was the only hold-out. Was he really being an old school ABC cad, feeling flattered, or just confused? I feel under the new/old regime, we got what Drew was thinking with his talk with Curtis. And I respect they filled in the hole that was missing in that triangle to make it work. 

 

It now feels even more juicier and even more messy than it already does. And outside of the nuances that PM put into this story being pretty much gone, the triangle is still feeling soapy. And I cannot wait for it to explode even though it is no longer one of my favorite parts of the show...which it was under PM.

Easily... but I feel like Frank and company are holding out [naïve] hope that William Lipton will come back, which I doubt will ever happen.

William Lipton has an Amazon show. He's not coming back right now.

Plus, he and his group seem to be consistently touring and performing.

Yeah, I feel that long term.

 

Right now, part of the fun and potential is the fact that it is pushing Molly closer to him. And it humanizes Ric (even more than his Liz redo) because he is really feeling like the only one who has Molly's back. And now TJ is growing closer to him, too? 

 

Drama!!!

But, here's the thing. Arguably Tracy has a bonafide reason when it comes to Lois, what the hell busines is it of hers how Olivia sounds?!! It's simply not Tracy's business to try to Improve Ned's wife!!! 

For sure!!! Which is why it should been a one (or two) scenes with Lois and be done. Having Tracy move on Olivia is just a way to keep this slapsticky tone that this writing regime like to do for no reason than silliness and I'm not here for that.

What I hope, really seriously long for, is that Willow walks in on them doing the wild thing! Nothing else is gonna do!

My God... the shouting in today's episode is too much and it's ridiculous to me.

Damn.  Do people not have siblings?  I kid, I kid. 🫠  LOL   I do wish we would get MORE screaming scenes with dynamics like this.  Screaming matches between siblings - relatable.  Screaming matches between parent/child - relatable.   To me, it just adds more realism to situations.   

Isiah Gannon could be the son of Hank & Shelia Gannon from OLTL but I dont think they had a kid. I like the actor. I wish he was playing Tommy Hardy Jr.

Like I said in my post, this is highly realistic. My siblings and I have almost come to blows for less, much less than one sister deciding she was going to keep the baby her sister trusted her to deliver.

I am praying that this character is not tied to OLTL. It's time for Frank to let OLTL go. It's dead. Move on. No more characters from other ABC soaps. They already flopped with making Ava Delia's daughter. They flopped trying to assimilate OLTL characters on the canvas. They flopped when they mentioned the Loving murders and had them hiding out in the Alden manor once upon a time. Just stop. 

And Tommy would've been the most logical choice as it would've further tied Liz to Lucky's story as her cousin is involved. I mean it was right there for the taking. I don't get how the writers, production, or even the network didn't see it.

And this actually does deserve a real fight.  LOL  When was the last time two sisters got into a catfight?   Kristina/Molly catfight needs to happen.
