Oh, lord have mercy! I can't! The amount of propping that was going on for Sonny. I can almost take slighted writing over writing where characters sit/stand/dance and go on and on and on over a character who is usually not all that and a bag of chips. So all this Sonny talk...at this point I could almost throw something at my tv. The only good thing I can say about Sonny right now...is that he looked good in that red shirt. JS.

 

And given my feelings over Sonny/Dante and Dante's internal feelings, you know I was seeing red over his 'dilemma.' Good to see that with the fate of Lulu and Sam slowly, but surely approaching that I'll be seeing more of DZ on my screen and Dante in the mix. The conflict just did not feel the same as it usually did. Definitely a little more plot, a little less character regardless of the fact that Dante was confiding in his BFF Cody. But it could be because it was giving that 'wacka wacka' humor the New/Old Writers like to pop into moments that just don't need it. That said, I didn't mind Dante being the Friday cliffhanger though I hope given the amount of separation of Dante as cop/Dante as Sonny's son drama we have gotten this year that it will not destroy that growing conflict. 

 

You know what? I totally forgot that Lucas is Julian's son so I was wondering why he was running into Ava outside of the actors being on ATWT. A case of the recast. But I liked those scenes overall. Another way to get a softer side of Ava.

 

Uh oh! Not Brad realizing what Portia did. Portia who has been all up in his face. Now that WAS juicy.

 

Liz stay being love.

Ooooo yes. The way I gasped when Molly dropped that file on the desk. The file I've been mentioning in the PM thread months ago! The plot thread that I was really excited about when PM was in charge outside of the Sins of the Father storyline. I was like Yes, Molly! Tell Anna about herself! Cuz that was ridiculous.

 

On the other hand, I find it interesting that the New/Old Writers keep finding ways to pick at old PM threads. But...I'll take they are at least mentioned versus how they tried to make them abruptly vanish.

Hahahaha. Well, that looks like a job for AVA to me, Doctor Robinson. But that...is at her discretion. lol. Seriously though, I would say the highlight of the day was Portia vs Brad. As Brad lorded over those results with her name on it. 

 

I'm sorry, but Liz might be mad at him, but she suuuuure does light up more and Feisty Liz comes out when she's around Ric. JS. Them and the scenes surrounding the gun was hilarious. And no, I don't like Terry tried to prop up Lucky to Liz when Liz was not thinking or studying Lucky today. 

 

How I hollered at how Molly shades and slights Kristina every chance she can get. I almost want it to never end. Or I hope for a good moment where Molly slaps her. And AMEN!! to Molly saying what I was thinking...Alexis would not have been in that position (even if it was her choice) if it was not for Kristina.

 

So Alexis is FINALLY free and her law degree is STILL intact. Ooooh happy day. Martin was the MVP for me as he tore into Anna, delayed Dante having to pick a side he claimed he would never pick, and Sonny again got to be smug with Diane. It gave me moments that I liked but it's that wacka wacka writing style that I don't like with these New/Old Writers. Also I'm never here for Anna being made a fool of period. And it felt like her projecting onto Dante. Who is put on a leave of absence as of today meaning this week and next are our doozy weeks. 

 

Did I mention how much I love Ric being back? Love those scenes with Curtis and with of course Liz. 

 

And a nice cliffhanger for a Monday. A red herring or a potential rewrite? I guess we are about to find out.

After watching this episode, it crystallised that things are back to how they were before, writing and character-wise… plus I’m getting a sense of where one or two plots may be going… I’m out.

Life’s too short and I’m finalising my own literature for publishing so I’m dropping GH until something fundamentally changes.

In the grand scheme of things, I’m nobody to make this ‘declaration’, but I really enjoyed the attempt at something different earlier this year- as imperfect as it was initially, so the return to Valentini ‘factory settings’ and my own personal situation was enough for me.

And today sealed it for me.

Here’s hoping Beyond The Gates starts well…

I enjoyed seeing Laura with Kevin and her brothers. If they have returned, why is Ace still with the Quartermaines?

Lois and Olivia are redundant. Have Olivia run away with Steve when he returns and put Ned back with Lois.

i am surprised that the show is keeping both Sasha and Cody and getting rid of Sam.

ELQ has dropped Valentin from the company. Valentin is not returning to the show. Sam’s death will be another Cassadine removed from the show.

Jane E is a master but they keep making the same play over and over again. Tracy is overbearingly mean the first half of an episode and then someone tells her off and she reveals what’s really bothering her. It was interesting the first few times we saw this set up but now I’m bored tbh and that goes for all of the Quartermaine’s.

I hate that the Chillow fans have gotten their way and zapped all of the heat out of the Drew/Willow/Michael story so now Ned has to play the bad guy.

Cody and Sasha continue to be as entertaining as watching paint dry and the only interest I have in this Violet nonsense is Finn coming back and picking his brat up so we never have to see her again.

Seeing Martin and Cyrus again just gives me the old ick CVE’s last regime provoked whenever I’d try to tune in. I guess I’ll take Laura running around with them instead of Heather Webber though.

Everything with Sam is just awkward to watch knowing where everything is likely headed

Isaiah and Elizabeth were probably the only scenes I enjoyed today but even those weren’t all that interesting

      Okay...I'm just going to call it. Ambyr Michelle is the breakout star of this show with the young set hands down! There is no character like Eva that pulls my heart strings, and she's playing it perfectly. If Eva and Leslie are on, it's a good episode! If written properly, Eva and Kat's rivalry is one that could go on for YEARS. Of course, it's fun to speculate about who is really whom, but I could see them developing as frenemies after some time. They really need a guy to tussle over to amp it up. Tomas is pretty, but the actor has got to loosen up some in his scenes, I think. He is improving though. It would be good to introduce a new young man in that story for a foursome.  Martin and Smitty finally feel like a real couple to me, too.

      I'll be that guy and say I don't think TMG is a fool. This is a popular contract role on a year-round soap opera for a woman of a certain age (to say nothing of a woman of color). If I'm her I pull a Kimberlin Brown and ride this til the wheels fall off.

      Tbf it's not unusual for a family when they are dealing with some bad news that changes a life to use song to give out hope.Especially black families. I personally had to deal with that very thing this weekend. Partly off putting, but at the same time, I did get the point and it gave me a bit of hope in the moment.      MM is definitely acting. But Smitty is just so passive. It could turn into quiet strength at some point, but for now...passive IMO.

      Edge of Night (EON) (No spoilers please)

      By j swift · Posted

      Am I remembering correctly that the Madison's lived in a Spanish revival-style house? I have a vague recollection of the fireplace looking especially Spanish in style. It is unusual that Montecello had so many architectural styles.  Obviously, that might occur IRL.  But, look at other east coast soaps and there is a definitive style that is throughout (because it was styled by a set decorator) regardless of the income of the occupants.

      Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

      By JoeCool · Posted

      @kalbir MSW was a powerhouse for CBS. Angela Lansbury was a superb actress. In 1985, TV viewers were tiring of the primetime soaps and the like. People wanted storytelling and MSW was great at that and had great guest stars. Storytelling -- an amazing and novel concept. CBS Daytime by 1985 was beating ABC so CBS was on the upswing.

      I'd say just the opposite - conflict means they will find out and then be at odds. For the limited amount of time people on this show have conflict (if they aren't named Nina or Ric, I guess).

      Totes mcgoats (aka I agree). But, now the character needs to move forward.  Clyde's exit was 12/11/24.  It is May.  She and Chad have been on one date. I don't think they've slept together. And she was only planning on sticking around for a year.

      That is one of the best insults I've heard in a long time.  I burst out laughing when Kat called Eva that.  LOL Their scenes, of course, were really good.  Colby and Ambyr have so much chemistry.  The only thing I'd change is Kat saying "you're dead to me."  That's a phrase usually said about someone you care about.  I would've preferred something like "You will never be my sister," or something similar to that.  Nice contrast at the end with both mothers/daughters:  Kat comforting/consoling her mother, and Eva being locked out by her mother.  Yeah, I wasn't a big of fan of the singing either, especially after your daughter's life has been destroyed.  What?  LOL And I also agree with those that thought Dana/Leslie's scenes with the Dupree's didn't feel right since Eva is not a Dupree....unless she is.  But as of right now, she's not.

      Trisha Mann-Grant, Ambyr Michelle, Sean Freeman are destined for bigger and better things. They need to move on as soon as their initial contracts are done.
