The Lucas/Maxi and the Liz/Aiden/Lucky stuff was the best part about today's episode. I could care less about the two other stories. 

I'm glad they not wasting time re-establishing Lucas and Maxi's bond. They were very close as teens. 

Aiden coming out to Lucky was wonderfully done. Both actors did a good job. I'm glad we finally reaching the point where gay characters can come out and both parents be accepting. 

Having said that though, when Aiden says he's using his business to save up money to go to pastry school in Paris, my first thought was: Aiden you wouldn't have to if your father Lucky wasn't a dead beat.  

While I appreciate the show is acknowledging Lucky has been a dead-beat dad,  Liz and Aiden need to be angrier at him about it.

I agree with all this. While I'm really happy to see Lucky accept Aiden so quickly, I want to see some pushback against him disappearing for so long.

We just had Natalia The Homophobic Mother, so I'm glad we're not getting a repeat of that with Lucky.

 

Disagree completely. He didn't look pained at all. He looked emotional.

And that preview? Looked incredibly good to me -- and I can't wait to see it.

The coming out with Aiden was too nicey for me. It was unrealistic for me. There really wasn't any drama with Aiden coming out and Lucky being an absentee dad.

VH is fitting very well as Lucas. Enjoyed his scenes with Maxi.

I'm hoping Lucky s meltdown at Bobbie's has to do with Aiden. I'm sure it has to do with Lulu.

The coming out to Lucky was nicey and unrealistic, I agree. Lucky could have asked more questions, such as "How do you know?" or "When did you discover this about yourself?" or "How difficult has this all been for you?"

Seems like GH just wants to move past that plot point quickly and not pull another "Hi, I'm Natalia with the Homosexualist Lesbian Daughter Who's Going Through A Phase And If Not, I Have to Hate The Sin And Love The Sinner."

The Lucky/Liz/Aiden scenes were great today. I thought the way both JJ and NuAiden played the nervous tension of a father and son who are strangers reuniting was excellent. I’m glad Lucky didn’t make any real excuses for being a deadbeat and Aiden struggling to tell his father he’s gay and Lucky immediately reassuring his acceptance was a touching moment. Then the end with Liz telling Lucky’s he’s not a viable donor for Lulu was good as well, I’m one of the few who enjoy JJ’s brand of emotional acting so I’m looking forward to Lucky having a meltdown at Bobbie’s tomorrow.

I hate how since the writer change Maxie’s airtime as a heavy supporting player has kind of depleted so I was glad to see her and Lucas have scenes today. The show seems to do the returns with less hype better than the big stunt castings and Ric and Lucas just coming to town and immediately linking with the people we’d want to see them with has been a big add to their successful reentries to the canvas.

Holly, Jack and Felicia scenes were okay and I guess it was nice how Michael and Willow introduced Lucas to their unfortunately named child (didn’t know his middle name was Alan btw they should have him go by that when the character is older) but I agree with @wingwalker I didn’t really care much about the rest of the episode. I yawned at the Quatermaine’s upset over the elementary school tribulations of Violet. This side of the canvas is always a struggle to watch for me and I hope they find some more interesting material for them all soon.

So bad, don't care. They have no idea what to do with Chase and Brook Lynn. How can you waste a hot guy like Josh Swickard this way?

In other news, my laugh of the day came from that wig they plopped on Diane's head. Who decided she needed 3x as many bangs? It looked like a Halloween costume wig.

I liked half the episode.  I think there could have been more depth in the Lucky/Aiden scenes, but when the show spends that much time on effing Violet's kindergarten drama, Lucky/Aiden are not at the top of my list of complaints.  Some nice scenes between Lucas/Maxie and Felicia/Holly.

Episode ranking with Violet-4/10

Episode ranking without Violet 8.5/10

    • I guess it's because the stories on "Hotel" tended to be very...melodramatic, lol?  I mean, it seems like every episode had long-lost lovers reuniting or people finding out someone they knew and/or loved was dying, lol.
    • Given some of the things that have been said I am going to quote the preface to an analysis I researched & posted about the desired demos when JFP was EP of AW. And, that is more than enough about that, from me.  
    • The thing that I am stuck on is that the in studio scenes in Egypt started airing in mid-October. It seems very strange that they would have planned to have a couple of weeks of studio scenes airing before they started showing location footage. Normally even though some scenes in a remote-infused storyline are in studio, they would start airing a mixture of studio and location footage at the same time. I suspect they had put Arizona in their back pocket well before the Achille Lauro (hence Hawk arriving in September) and possibly moved up the Egypt in-studio action so that the remote Arizona piece unfolded during November. The Achille Lauro may have been the final straw but I would bet it was not the first time they considered the risk. I have found one somewhat contemporaneous reference published on October 19th but pinned to an October 7th* "diary entry" mentioning that the location shoot in Egypt had been changed to Arizona. "International terrorism has its effect on daytime drama, too. Another World producers had scheduled an elaborate and expensive location shoot in Egypt this fall, But with the serious military attacks and hijackings going on, they decided to play it safe. They are going to Arizona instead. The cast members involved were disappointed but understood the decision." *Undated, but specified as the Monday before Melody Thomas's wedding to Ed Scott. But of course it's possible that the first draft referred to Egypt and was revised after October 7th to mention the cancellation before it went to press. But even making the decision the week of October 7th seems tight to get the Egypt scenes to air on the 17th/18th. I would love to find something from a daily news cycle that would be clearer about the dates.
    • So, Maxim, at this moment in time Evan is under the (mistaken) impression that, for no good reason, Rachel murdered his mother, in cold blood, and his ulterior motive for coming to Bay City is to get vengeance for this wrong that was done to his family & him.  Now, Rachel never murdered anyone. Janice had the knife on her & she pulled the knife on Rachel in the fight they were having. The reason they were fighting was because Janice had been poisoning Mac. So, this sets out the difference between the Frame family version of events & reality as the rest of us know it to be. Also no one in Bay City knows Evan is Janice's son. He goes by Evan Bates, not Frame.

                        Janice Frame is Evan's mother. Janice & Mac were together. Janice was up to no good. Mitch was helping her. She was slowly, little by little, every day, POISONING Mac. She was almost successful. In St. Croix, Rachel & Janice began what was literally a physical fight. They fell into the resort swimming pool, continuing to fight each other. Somehow, I guess Janice had it on her, there was a knife in play but Rachel kept Janice from stabbing her & got it away from her & they continued to struggle until Rachel stabbed Janice, which was a death blow. Mitch did a 180 & helped Rachel get Mac to the hospital. He was so weakened by the poison he could not even stand unassisted. It took both of them together to walk him to the hospital but it did save his life.  The St. Croix remote was SO beautiful, but so dangerous & scary. Also action-packed. Hooray! Maxim's backSo, I just got home & this is what I found waiting for me. I wrote this several hours ago. I guess I neglected to hit send.
    • Thanks @skylark and @DRW50!
    •     data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAPABAP///wAAACH5BAEKAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw== Earlier I made a long reply but it doesn't exist. Crap.
    • I do not think I have ever agreed with Vee. Normally I do not read him, Ignore ya know. For some unknown reason I clicked to read. And I agree 1000%. Now, this is so odd that I need to go away for a bit.
    • Justine had a lot of hooey in it, but she was an actual woman, not a guy in drag. She was a doppelganger of Rachel, French, having had a past history with Carl, etc. Two of the more outrageous parts-Justine bricking alive Vicky into a wall & Justine grinding the gears driving a big rig.
    • Hehe, twi/x actually x, formerly Twitter. Typically I find 2 sources for "crazy fan rumors" - the wrong parts of FB and x. Oy.
