Awww. Dante can come over here and let me hold him.  Given what's coming story-wise, I knew there would be more focus on Dante. Moreso once Anna gave him that leave of absence...but DZ is just hitting it out of the park with me with Dante's reactions, POVs, and those eyes. Loooord. That said...NO to Dante/Liz outside of friendship. Liz already has THREE people on canvas if they want her to be with someone. All with proven history/chemistry.

 

Speaking of one of Liz's guys...oh, lord...Isaiah lol. Every time he looks at Jordan, his look reminds me of how Ric looks at Liz. I love this actor. I even enjoyed him and Jordan having dinner.

 

All I can say for Bad Guy Du Jour is that he must be watching all of them right now because he has not approached Holly at all yet. And that whole debriefing with my Beast, Anna, and Jason just seem like a case of the New/Old Writers not having better things for Jack to do more than it felt like recapping which is what it was supposed to be. And I'm surprised that Felicia did not catch on that Holly was fishing for info. That said...already reading the thread ahead of time, I still gasped at the Sasha bombshell. Well directed. And given the beginnings of Sasha's history (brought to town on a con)...that makes sense.

 

Well...at least Sam told Dante as the episode coda. Given how this is moving...and it's Wednesday, will Sam be the Friday cliffhanger or will Lulu waking up be it? Or a Friday for each one?

If Sasha and Cody end up cousins (which sounds like they will given how nervous Holly acted today after hearing about them dating), at least that'll put an end to one boring couple on this show. 
 

I hadn't paid much attention to either Sasha or Cody, so I don't know their backgrounds.  How would they potentially be cousins?

Holly is Sasha's Mom and she was with Robert. Max is Robert's Brother and Cody's Father.

I hadn't even considered Robert as Sasha's father.   I'd just say no to that.

I would agree with this in another era (or maybe on a show beyond what GH has been for the last 20-25 years) but not as much here. Sam is going and Bobbie is gone, so that mostly leaves us with Carly, who is just an energy suck to the point where they can only keep her viable by throwing new men at her and more Jason nostalgia for a pairing that last had any real fan interest three Carlys ago. 

But Carly is central, and the Spencers are central again. His introductory scenes back were even with Carly. Ergo, Lucas is tied in. Whether they use him properly is another issue.

Carly is central, but beyond Sonny and Jason, that doesn't help very much. Even her knockoff daughter doesn't feel as prominent as she was. I think if that is his strongest tie he'll be lucky to last to Christmas, unless Van is content with just popping up every so often the way Terri and Brad do.

Uhhh...

I worded that too politely.  Let me try that again.

HELL  NO  !!!! to Robert being Sasha's father. 

(angry emojis and expletives at the very suggestion)

HAhahahahaha!!!! That was my worry once I thought about it among the fanbase.

 

Just the fact that Robert and her would be on screen all these years and never know. 

 

My mind was blown.

Sasha has been on for 6 years. To now, out of nowhere, suddenly tie this failed character to Holly is ridiculous. If they wanted to bring on Holly's daughter, she should be a new character, played by a charismatic newbie, not boring Sasha who should have been gone ages ago.

Sasha has been on this show for 6 YEARS!?!

I will say I was pretty shocked by the reveal.  Well, not really because I read this thread before it aired on the West Coast lol!   I think it's certainly a twist, but it doesn't make a whole lot of sense.  It came literally out of nowhere.  I think they are probably going to make her Robert's daughter too.  She'll obviously break up with Cody and I wonder if they are pivoting Sasha in a new direction or just going to have her leave the canvas all together with this random plot point.  I am not sure making Sasha Holly/Robert's kid makes her anymore useful than she was before.  Neither (R/H) appear that often or are on contract.

I don't think this will be a good storyline...

But I guess this must have been what she was tweeting about.

I wonder if this will just be angst for Sasha and Cody where Holly thinks she's Robert's daughter but she isn't. If not it would be ironic if keeping a paternity secret caused him and those around him a great deal of emotional distress, only for another paternity secret, a much more devastating one, to be hanging around the entire time. 

If they do break them up I wonder what they would do with the characters. It's a shame they will never try with Cody/Tracy.

I suppose it could be angst for Cody/Sasha.  I really don't want Sasha to be in the GH history books as Robert/Holly's daughter.  That paternity lie would actually be the best route to go, but poor Holly.  It's like the show hates her.  She just keeps messing with Robert with her rando kids paternity lol. 

I definitely need more details and backstory from Holly before I make a final decision on this reveal.  Right now, I am not liking it at all.  I just don't think I know enough to make a judgement at this point.

I don't necessarily want Cody/Tracy, but I think JK and JE could sell the hell out of it.

Maybe they could say her mother is Cheryl...

I saw some fans on Twitter talking about how little this makes sense with Sasha's backstory about a dead mother and grandmother, how Holly was in town several times when Sasha was there and never interacted with her even when Sasha was going through hell, how Sasha used her hair for DNA to help Cody and it came back as a negative for any relation, etc. So unless this is a fantastic story I'm not sure it is worth all the retcons, especially as Holly won't be around long (she never is).

I'm not sure if there's any longtime character on GH where I feel for their fans as much as I do with Holly.

(I guess there's Rick Webber, but the Chris Robinson version of that character always seemed kind of like a prick anyway)
