Some of the current writers truly do seem to put keeping some of their favorite characters, in spite of a laundry list of horrible actions, above any coherency.

I would write Ava out, but then I'd also write Sonny and Carly out, so I can understand why Ava might exist as a counterweight to them.

I have no idea why Heather is there. Zero. Alley Mills may be a wonderful person. Various writers may love the Wonder Years. They may love Doctor Quinn (RIP Orson Bean). Either way, the character needs to go.

When I peruse Twitter I notice a lot of the Liz fans also prefer her with Ric (or want a new man for her). She and JJ definitely had strong chemistry in the old days, but Guza truly salted the earth of that pairing on JJ's return.

And FINALLY!!! Lucky's back in Port Charles.

 

First thing's first. You can count me in on liking NuAidan. Not that I have a problem with people casted that are older than what they are playing cuz CW&WB&FOX&etc. I liked that he appeared to have some of the mannerisms of the Aidans that came before him. As if he did a little bit of studying. And that I can respect. 

 

I again continue to wonder if they are going to write Scorpio off with Holly when she inevitably leaves town. Because watching these scenes with Holly and Mac feels like it's setting it up.

 

Oh...Hat Dad's gone?

 

We know how I feel about a whiny Anna so...

That ending was *swoon*

Same.

 

I'm looking forward to seeing it, but it seems instead of today's episode, what I have is an hour of news. I know that the show can be like sewage, but I don't see any stars in that pipe.

I’m shocked to not be alone on that island. Maybe once his face isn’t all beaten up? Honestly GV was Lucky when I started watching GH and he was much more suited to me for Lucky being a cop or adventurous. He and Jason also felt like equal romantic rivals as well during the partner swap summer. JJ and Steve Burton look about 30 years apart in age.

My DVR didn’t record the whole episode so I’m going to have to finish on Hulu tonight.

That's because a lot of them on Twitter are Liason stans. Liz with psycho Ric again does nothing for me because I could never believe she'd be with him again after the 2000s and the panic room, though I enjoy Ric for what he is (a crazy slimeball).

I had no particular fondness for LNL2 in the '90s, I found them too saccharine, but the older version appeals to me. JJ and Becky still have it if not moreso now that they're older IMO. It's just that Jonathan's return interferes with the show a lot of the Twitter kids had planned in their heads, so they act very vocal to project bigger numbers than they have. (Similar case in point: The supposedly massive fanbases of Sonny and Nina, Michael and Willow, etc.)

Yeah, I have a really hard time believing all these Liz/Ric fans are just popping up now.  I know this board isn't the barometer of the entire internet, but I remember saying I really liked early Liz/Ric and hardly anyone on here agreed lol.   Liz/Ric doesn't have the long term, endgame potential that LL2 have, so I would suspect some Liason cross agenda.  I think it's too soon for me to tell if I want Liz back with Lucky, but I certainly don't think Jason/Liz are ever getting back together lol.

I noticed this as well lol. Its funny observing how the various fanbases work on there, I gotta give the Liason stans credit for best organization in agenda pushing at least. They’ve made sure to flood the show hashtag with retro Liason content and negativity towards anything having to do with Lucky’s return on a constant basis.

A lot of the fanbases do false rage baiting as well. Like how people were riled up over the show erasing Nikolas from the transplant storyline and forgetting Lucky not being a donor match for Lulu back in the day when in actuality the show went out of its way to address all of that. When they got egg on their faces they all just pivoted to a new negative talking point to harp on. I have no problem understanding why TPTB just ignore the criticism lobbied against the show there.

They're really unsubtle. They were certain with Finn gone and Jarly tanking they'd have a clear path at Jason and it's never going to happen. Fortunately they're not the majority of viewers re: Lucky and Liz.

The Liason and JaSam fan wars were some of the ugliest fan based battles I have ever seen back in the day.  It turned me off to both pairings and, honestly, neither pairing was bad.   I don't actually think a Lucky/Liz/Jason triangle redux is a bad idea.  It's certainly better than Anna/Jason, but I can't deal with the crazy lol.

Yup.  The only other fanbase war I saw that was more ugly were those NOLer Carly/Sonny fans from the early 2000's who actually wished harm to NLG, VM, and Ted King so Sonny/Carly could stay together lol, but it was a very small group of nuts.  Liason/JaSam seem to have a larger, "intense" group of fans.

As a Liason fan, I *shivers* at the memories of those fanwars. It does not turn me off of them, but I can see why people might have a problem with liking either pair.

 

I could be down with a Lucky/Liz/Jason triangle and yes, now that I've seen it definitely better than Anna/Jason. 

 

Hehe. Common enemies do that.

      ALL SOAPS: Grade May Sweeps 2025

      By Taoboi · Posted

      Haha. The fact that I stopped regularly viewing at the same time and know what you are talking about is chef's kiss.    I'm slowly bingewatching Nurse's Ball Week. But it's slow for me because a lot of the same tics and writing flaws for me that made me throw up my hands is still evident *cough*CVE*cough* Thankfully, there are some things I like also and from a glance in the GH May Thread, it seem like it had a good Sweeps with good fallout. And do I even need to mention Nina finally slapping the taste out of Carly's mouth? See? Regardless of her flaws, I do enjoy Korte-headed episodes over CVE-headed episodes because they always seem to have more emotional resonance to long-time fans.

      And that charity does still get mentioned from time to time. I want to say the last time was some time this year, too.

      That's so funny, that's how I listen to Montecito - while walking my dog. I'll have to check out Forever & a Day.

      A few years ago, Devon and Nick started a charity organization together, I think it's for housing in the community.

      I’m hoping to start getting to know Vernon better this month. He’s really only been a bunch of noble and good tropes so far. I don’t want him to be taken down the way Ted has been, but it seems he was a long-running Senator and no matter what party you are, lasting longer than twenty years means you’re looking out for you (and not who you’re supposed to be looking out for) most of all. I want to get to know both Vernon and Anita beyond their Dupree posturing. Clifton Davis can sleepwalk handling the kind of material Christopher Bernau and David Lewis handled and I’d like to see more than just a saint.

      I thought Emily/Hal was a really interesting pairing. And I think KMH played that version of Emily very well! It might not have been what people wanted from Emily, and the writing got pretty gross at the end, but I thought she embodied that character effectively.

      Don't know if this exactly fits here, but it is connected: Does this abandoned building look familiar? It is one of those explorer videos - and the outside may look VERY familiar if one watched GH in the '70s and '80s!
