Sonny and Nina were better than Sonny and Carly. I miss them together.

Those Holly and "Sasher" scenes were painful to watch. They have no chemistry as mother and daughter. Sasher also has none of the charisma that Robert and Holly had. Their daughter should have been an entirely new character. Another good idea turned bad by poor execution.

Completely disagree; she made Sonny bearable for some time, and at least had some viable chemistry.

Funny you say that because a lot of people, (probably Sonny/Carly fans), were really upset that Sonny was with Nina and went so far as to claim that not only was he being written out of character because he was acting disloyal to Carly and her kids and Sonny "in character" would never turn his back on HIS family but also Nina was basically grooming and taking advantage of an amnesiac man, which... I think is absolutely ridiculous.

I mean, Nina did have her own selfish reasons for doing what she did, but come on now. Personally I think Nina and Sonny were horribly mismatched because Nina is not cut out for the mob life and she's also a big blabbermouth that cannot keep her mouth shut to save her life. Also Sonny will always have some sort of connection to Carly no matter what so Nina was basically screwed no matter what she did. 

Also I don't get why Nina was so obsessed with Carly to begin with; it's not like Carly is someone to even aspire to and I also find her extremely annoying and aggravating with the way everyone's constantly kissing up to her. Maybe she sees Carly as popular and beloved by the town and she wants that for herself? That's probably the only way that makes any sense to me, and Nina does seem to be the type of person to want so desperately to be loved and accepted by the towns folk. At any rate I'm glad the stupid Granny Wars are over and Nina is no longer preoccupied with Carly and she's mostly minding her own business now. 

Wow just Wow

GH better play the hell out of Sam's death. Previews with Alexis look heart-breaking

She kept the secret of Nelle/Willow from her. That's her driving force for her dislike of Carly, plus, she fully believes Carly killed Nelle, and Nina feels regret for how she Nelle in court, etc.

I get that to some degree she feels guilty that she didn't get to raise her herself and that she testified against her in court; however, Nelle was a psychopath that was a danger and a menace to society. And Nina needs to understand and accept that. (Also I hate that they made out Nelle to be a complete irredeemable psycho and they could have just kept Nelle as a regular schemer and she and Willow could have had a rivalry that would have driven stories for years, and since Nelle was basically being written to be a much younger version of Carly, then maybe Nina could be someone that would help humanize Nelle somewhat and make her not so one note.). 

Woooow. Wasn’t expecting Sam to kick the bucket today but there it was. I’m conflicted as I wasn’t a Sam fan when she was part of the Carly/Sonny/Sam/Jason vortex and she did seem pretty bored by it herself but I enjoyed her Drew and the bits I’ve seen of the relationship with Dante. I think a Lulu/Dante/Sam triangle would’ve worked just fine without having to kill off Sam. 
 

Happy to see Chad Duell was back for the Willow fallout. Did not expect him to immediately sleep with Sasha 🤦🏽‍♂️. He’s now gone further to cheat than Willow ever did.

How many times did they hit Sam with the paddles? LOL Sorry, but those scenes were laughable.

Nothing Van Hansis did in those scenes resembled anything near "good acting." I mean, he was absolutely over-the-top awful. Every extra on Grey's Anatomy's 21 seasons did a better job.

It's obvious CW/Nina's airdates have diminished, but she still has her hands in multiple stories.  I was just thinking it was resting and resetting Nina more than a sign that Nina was on her way out.  

She is around but is clearly not a priority atm vs. what Mulcahey was doing with the fuckbuddy/political relationship and mother-daughter triangle with Drew.

I'm not particularly fussed about it since he's gone, and I care little for what the show is currently doing since having squandered that storyline so they could write all three out tomorrow and I wouldn't really care.

I am definitely looking forward to the episode count because I really feel she's only popped up at most 5. 

 

So much has been going on with people Nina was tied to and she really has been an afterthought to the point I have been shocked this month how little she has appeared.

I won’t be able to watch until tonight. So they made her play a full death scene? I find that incredibly grim, even for Frank. And I don’t even enjoy KeMo or Sam. But that doesn’t mean I want to watch that knowing how upset she was to be let go.

Lord I can see the Van scene in my head lol. I've been supportive of his work so far though it's definitely been very different from Carnes but I can't wait to see this one way or another.

She was also played very heavily for several months. They may have backed off due to the budget and not going over her guarantees.
