apparently. So I think that's what's coming and I don't expect much from it knowing this show and Black characters. I think they hired GM because Frank thought he was cute and talented and then for whatever reason, maybe the writing turnover with Mulcahey out, he went nowhere onscreen. I don't blame the kid but there is nothing there with Gio at present. I do absolutely think FV will wait til Trina is gone (if he can get her to walk - he's tried and failed before with others) and think he can then put over Spencer with the white lady of his choice. It's so pathetic.

In other news: Dr. Terry continues to fail to convince me she did not simply study all these medical terms on Duolingo last night. She sounds like she is greeting at Benihana when she rattles off this stuff, or like a sniper has his sights trained at her head. And she's out here with Lucky and Laura like ‘let’s burn your dying daughter in effigy now, why wait?’ Like she wants to throw her in the KFC roaster right now!

They are obviously pinning all these medical mishaps on Carlo Rota a.k.a. Sidwell, the insomniac jewel buffoon who can't play cards, out for revenge. Another deeply threatening jack-of-all-trades villain from the crew that brought you creaky Cyrus "I Ran Over Dad in the Driveway!

" Renault, Peter August and of course Valentin. I can't wait to still be seeing more of him blustering his way through boring scenes a year from now while Frank has added Sidwell's son, daughter, ex-wife and presumably Natalia is his first wife or something. Then we'll all get to endure 50 overhyped tweets on the GH hashtag about how much 26 people with too much time on their hands are enjoying the 'Sidwell-Ramirez family.' I am so tired.

Also, I'm sorry, Van is doing a decent job but his hair looks like a rug.

As someone else said, it is absolutely wild Sam and Jason got no real farewell scene - him tagged onto her scene with Drew re: parental logistics, their standing feet apart while she and Drew embraced. I never liked Jasam but that's crazy.

Oh: And I do think they are potentially going there with Cody and Tracy, finally. But I don't trust this team to do it right at all.

I didn't know they hired someone else on for Trina.  Interesting.

Van's hair does look weirdly unnatural.

And, yes, Cassandra James does struggle with her lines a lot, but so does MB and he's the star here so whatever lol.

Rough for JaSam fans after all these years.  We may not care at all about the pairing, but some people really did.  I would be upset if I was a JaSam fan for sure.  It seems like Monaco couldn't get far enough from Steve in those scenes though.

Again I would be fine with a Cody/Tracy pairing.  I just want it to be a fling.  Not anything serious, so I am sure Tracy will catch feelings at some point.

[Aragorn]

I think that Heather is going to be a Girl Scout when she gets out.

[Vee]

I would do it for real. It's been too long since there was a good May/December pairing in soaps and when it's done right people are here for it. But with this team I assume Tracy would be made the fool eventually.

[John]

Could Heather be going off with Steven?

Liked Trina and Gio today

loved her prespective re: Heather

[carolineg]

I feel like I have burned so many times before with Tracy's romances so I would prefer casual or Cody falling for her.  I don't think this team can do right by them and I would hate for Tracy to be humiliated again since I am pretty sure there's going to be a twist to this Sasha story.

I think that's exactly what's going on.

 

[Taoboi]

And they were. 

 

On one hand, they have every right to be upset given how Jasam has had a fanbase and how KM was in the promo for SB's return. They were already mad that she had not gotten a scene with Spin until yesterday I believe. 

 

What I'm not liking is people saying they are not playing Sam's farewell beats. They really have been playing them, but they are just doing it too scattered around. Whether it is the writing or just FV's bias showing I have no idea. 

[ranger1rg]

Agree with this. I never had any problem with Spencer's height in relation to Trina's. None.

 

[Taoboi]

And looks FOINE.

It writes itself so of course we cannot have it. 

 

 

I agree as well. It made their romance more adorable IMHO. Old school romance at that. 

[ranger1rg]

I actually feel sorry for the actor. They've given him nothing except "Be the understanding young person who shares pearls of wisdom."

Yeah, that's the truth. I'm all for diversity and representation, but she is not a good actor. The fact is, her weaknesses have been ignored because of who she is.

The Ashford’s & co confronting Ric didn’t disappoint. I was very surprised they allowed Portia and Curtis to state the quiet part out loud when it comes to all of this Heather nonsense. PC is the land of free roaming criminals but a killer targeting a young black woman and easily landing a get out of jail free card + likely being rewarded big lawsuit payout was an optic that shouldn’t be ignored. Brook Kerr did great with all of these scenes. I pray Curtis really does get Heather the hip out of town so the show goes 3 for 3 on eradicating annoying characters this week.

I liked seeing Molly defend her dad but felt bad for TJ. His point to Lucas that she showed more passion standing by Ric than she has helping him grieve baby Irene was valid. Noticed they leaned heavy on him not going to a bar as well

Molly’s confrontation over Ric defending Ava was fantastic too. The lines about him needing to prove the case to her and not wanting his daughter consumed with vengeance the same way he has been was good stuff.

Lol at Joss and Dex doing their usual routine of getting upset about something serious and then hunching. They really can’t come up with a new play for these two. Gio and Trina scenes were okay but there is no real chemistry there.

Sonny and Holly was kind of interesting to see together and I laughed at him telling her she wasn’t his type. They’re clearly setting it up for Sonny to be on Sidwell’s hit list

I liked the Robert and Anna scenes too I like their current dynamic a lot and how protective she is of him from Holly’s shenanigans.

I kind of do too.  MB can do whatever he wants with his hair.  It's not my decision.  Blaming it on the show is a bit weird though. 

Ingo could practically put Vanessa in his pocket he was so much bigger than her and no one complained.  Jason Thompson is much taller than KMc and no one said anything.  I get Chavez is a really tall guy, but I didn't find it aesthetically displeasing or noticeable.  They made a very attractive couple.

It sucks for their fans for sure.  And I don't have a horse in the Liason vs. JaSam race because I find couples acceptable.  There was a period of time where these fans dominated the internet and it's a bit sad it ended like this for them.  I also don't miss those wars and think both couples have been irrelevant for years.  It would have been nice for Jason/Sam to have a more heartfelt goodbye though.  It's pretty obvious that Kelly is OVER IT right now and phoning in more than usual.
