Laura really did go overboard propping Lucky.  It wasn't ideal.  Laura is sort of like that with Nikolas too, so it's not entirely out of character.   It was nice to see GF and JJ together though.

Sonny/Carly scenes are so boring.  At least Laura Wright has lovely hair I can look while I am zoning out.  How on earth did Sonny think this was going to end?  Well?  It still is unbelievable the show is pushing the narrative that murdering Jagger's was the only option Sonny had.

Very smart move by Olivia trying to get the word out about Lulu's condition.  I mean we all know who the donor will most likely be, but at least that was proactive.

The Jason/Diane scenes were boring too.  I know someone said CH wears a wig, but I am not sure she does.  That's just a horribly unflattering hairstyle lol.

I loved every minute of it!!! I too am shocked.

 

But first of all THANK YOU to wardrobe!!! I don't know whom idea it was to put CD in tight form-fitting jeans, but that bubble was perfection. lol. So were ALL the camera angles. And keep in mind, I don't even like CD, but he was looking good today. lol.

 

Everything about Lucas's return has been good, but this was just next level for me. I literally gasped when Willow and Wiley saw Lucas. It took a moment right before they saw each other that I remember the Wiley storyline that we were just talking about here, but my heart went out to Lucas and VH played that so well. Meanwhile, YES to Maxie and Lucas!!! They had such good chemistry and a banter between them that I loved. I definitely want more scenes between them. And awwww at Lucas at Bobbie's grave.

 

And Aidan coming out to Lucky. Awwww...those were some cute scenes. It made me think of me coming out to my own father. And double awwww at the Triple L reference. And hehe at Terry already knowing about Aidan before his father. Also resonated. 

 

Okay, I liked the Holly/Brennan scene. But this part of her storyline continues to play for me like it will be a swan song for her and Robert. But I'm enjoying all parts of it. The delayed in them meeting. Mac having issues with it which I can understand since Robert has made a home in PC and isn't running around so he gets to see his brother. And his brother has a love in town. Meanwhile, Diane finally got told. lol. Or perhaps it's just a story that isn't completely waka waka humor with the vets and it comes across very grown-up. Adult. 

 

I could care less for the Violet storyline.

 

And I love Liz got the coda. Though sadden it was for the next twist in Lucky's storyline...the reveal he is NOT a match for Lulu. Le sigh. And so it begins...

“This can’t be how it ends for Sonny.” That one line from the brain dead Hitman summed up why it’s starting to feel like I’m back to hate watching this show. These are the leads of the show talking about a cold blooded murder we saw on screen.

Some on Twitter were talking about how Lucky and Jason have failed as returns because of the lack of any consequence they faced from the people they left behind. They mentioned Felicia's return in comparison. I thought to myself the main reason for that is because the show had no use for Felicia by that time, as others like Luke tended to face little to no consequence for years of deadbeat, selfish actions, but I do see what they mean.

I think Lucky's current arc, however weakly executed, is about becoming a better parent and father for his family (and Liz), though. Jason is never going to be capable of that so (particularly after Mulcahey exited) they've just entirely elided that issue that he came on dealing with.

There are a couple fanbases very invested in making JJ's return a failure but the performances are still strong and he's still getting consistent praise, which is more than we can say for Steve. I don't think anybody was served well by spending weeks in those bare rooms playing cards, but that is typical Frank, Van Etten etc. nonsense over the last 5-10 years. I think things with Lucky will continue to settle onscreen, and I'm pleased Becky is at the forefront again.

It's Jagger was evil. Sonny and Jason are good people. That's all I'm getting from this writing.

Jason and Lucky are dead beat dads but hey they hate themselves. So we should feel pity for them. They try.

Interesting.  I didn't even think of Felicia's return.  It's just usual GH misogyny that Felicia's absence was greater because she was the mom.  Maxie and others did give Frisco a hard time too.  In some ways I can understand the Felicia thing though.  Emotions were very raw since her daughter was just brutally murdered.  She's redeemed herself though.

With Luke I feel like it was always, "lol, that's just Luke.  Everyone's trying to box him in as a family man and it's not in his nature."   As if Laura held a gun to his head and made him procreate. 

Jason and Lucky are getting passes here, but I do think they at least acknowledge some of their failings while characters like Luke didn't even seem to care.

That's one of the reasons I grew to detest Luke - the queasy and impossible mix of how we aren't meant to care because he's so fun yet all the pity parties he and others threw for him. At least Lucky and Jason do have some regrets, even if the show hasn't done enough with them.

    • I'm hoping that it doesn't happen. If the show keeps putting out good performance and story it will be hard to shut it out. Daphnee, Trisha, Ambyr and Colby are earning nominations without question.
    • Speaking of correcting dates, since you mentioned it above, why don't you go back to your Saturday post and edit it and replace your wording of "DAYS Ruth Buzzi 11-2-83"  with "DAYS Ruth Buzzi 11-1-83" and add a note that the video has the wrong date of 11/2/83 on it, and that the video is actually 11/1/83. 
    • If the show ever chooses to show any flashbacks of major Ted scenes, the Ted/Eva, Ted/Kat, and Ted/Nicole scenes would need to be re-filmed with nuTed. Since there have been hardly any Ted/Martin scenes with the CurrentTed, they have avoided the difficulty of doing recreated flashbacks with nuTed for scenes with Martin.  The only one would be Martin punching Ted after the anniversary reveal (unless there's something in the next few episodes). I agree with other posters that the fact that we barely saw CurrentTed and Martin interact, makes it less impactful to viewers to see Martin's outrage at the reveal. 
    • This makes me think of that famous quote from COOL HAND LUKE,  "What we've got here is failure to communicate." I did not bring up "apparently" to try to get across either truth or validity, but doubt. If I had been sure, I would have said something entirely different. But, I'm not trying to argue, I hear you & I will comply. Besides that, I will endeavor to word things differently. I am never against trying to improve. 
    • That’s been my main issue with his response. It didn’t feel that earned by what came before. Definitely needed to see more of the Richardsons as a full family unit prior to all of this.
    • Bingo! I thought the exact same thing. Martin's anger feels so out of place, because we've hardly seen him interact with his parents. Vernon and him have more of a father/son relationship and we've seen their dynamic more fully play out. While obviously Ted and Marton are father and son, it felt a bit empty because we haven't really seen them bond or truly connect in any scenes.
    • Leslie inferred over 20 years ago, so Eva and Kat are over 20 at least 
    • As it happens, 40 years ago this week, ABC and CBS revealed their 1985-86 fall schedules. NBC revealed theirs the week before. ABC's would end up changing. The original plan for Tuesdays was to have Diff'rent Strokes lead the night, with He's the Mayor at 8:30, followed by Who's the Boss at 9, Growing Pains at 9:30, and Moonlighting at 10. There was some surprise over MacGruder & Loud not getting renewed, but it was considered part of Aaron Spelling's declining influence at the network. Yes, Dynasty was still a hit (for a while longer), but Aaron's shows steadily took up less and less of the schedule. Fall 1984: Seven hours, five of which were new programming (Dynasty, Hotel, Glitter, Matt Houston, T.J. Hooker, The Love Boat, Finder of Lost Loves; MacGruder & Loud aired at midseason, by which time Glitter was gone.). Fall 1985: Five hours, two of which were new programming (Dynasty, Hotel, The Colbys, Hollywood Beat, The Love Boat). Fall 1986: Three-and-a-half hours, a half-hour of which was new programming (Dynasty, Hotel, The Colbys, Life With Lucy). Fall 1987: Two hours, none of which was new programming (Dynasty and Hotel; HeartBeat premiered at midseason). Fall-winter 1988: Two hours, none of which was new programming (Dynasty and HeartBeat). This led to Variety's infamous shady headline in spring 1989: "Aaron's Dynasty Over"
