I liked the Jason scenes and the JaSam montage.  It's fitting to me for them to end out the episode since most of Sam's important moments have to do with Jason.  Steve did a good job.  Poor Kelly.  Fired and dead and has to listen to some of her least favorite cast members give monologues to her "dead" body lol.  

NLG/Alexis did a good job, but it didn't really give me any feels.  I never thought the Sam/Alexis bond felt that organic or strong.  NLG just basically elevated the writing here with her performance nothing more.

I don't think Van is too bad.  He's has moments where he can reel it in for sure, but it doesn't bother me.

Unfortunately I do think Sasha will get pregnant.

I kinda thought Sasha couldn't get pregnant again after losing Liam. Am I wrong about that? Of course it doesn't matter in the soap world. Same with Willow. Didn't she go through chemo during and after her pregnancy with the little girl baby? Again, see above about soap world. Seems that since neither of these women should be able to have more babies, that surely they will both be preggers now. It's good and soapy so I am down with that.

That MichaelQ is a freaking dog if he can drunk-boink one woman and then go home and boink his lying wife. That was pretty gross, even if he did take a shower. 

Since I'm a Jason fan and an SBu fan, I appreciated his finale monologue with dead Sam. I enjoyed him as Harris Michael on Days, so to see a little of that come out in his speech about Sam, well, I liked it.

I know NLG's tears were real, so that's all I can say about her performance. Seeing Dante and Rocco at the end hearing her blurt out that Sam was dead, well that was unexpected.

Just wow. I didn’t like it when Ron killed Abby over at DAYS out of bitterness and I don’t like killing Sam out of bitterness. And they could not have made the scenes today more final. I actually thought Nancy and Kelly did well over the years to sell the late in life relationship especially when it’d be all the David girls. I truly felt for her Alexis in those scenes today.  As usual Frank couldn’t let the damn scenes breathe.
 

Michael agreeing to keep the secret of cheating on his wife after being upset at her for kissing Drew is just wow. He was definitely raised by Sonny Corinthos. And to know he’s gonna justify keeping his secret because he knows Willow is lying about it being one kiss. And then had sex with his wife less than 24 hours after cheating on her with his ex and her friend

Why does Cody hate Drew so much suddenly? I will say I do enjoy CM as Drew and it’s because of this storyline and usage under PM initially. Making him sort of a sleeve works for me. I always hated Ryan Lavery but this is working.
 

I liked Liz being the one to explain things to Jason and sort of be there for him. “I figured you would outlive me, you were supposed to.” Steve really was great. Like others I knew he could be un Jason like as Harris on Days but man he was so good today. I hated JaSam but I felt their love and the heartbreak today.  That montage definitely showed Steve and Kelly genuinely had some great chemistry at one time.
 

This poster has a real hate boner for Brook Kerr and Portia for some reason. She was perfectly fine today. I’m confused what was so awful about her performance.

Rocco and Dante walking off the elevator hearing Alexis. Wow!

I get her fans are in their feels about the firing. And it was petty on FV’s part. What I do not get is the outcry about them not pairing her with Jason being the fault of the show, and how that would have saved her.

She chose to tank the triangle story and reunion between Sam and Jason the last time he returned. Publicly. Because she wanted to be paired with her real life boyfriend only. So blame the show for firing her, and firing Billy, which was shitty and petty. But not what happened to JaSam. Look at her photos in the Steve returns promos from January! She was still visibly against being paired with Jason. And I am totally fine with that! But don’t blame the show for that one fans.

It is my understanding that Billy Miller left GH of his own accord & that he was not in fact, fired. I've only learned of this recently. Before I was of the impression that they had fired him. Which it is, I suppose, is something that could be found out.

Doing a quick run through Google Search I can find no statement of his being fired. Instead his mgr said he last filmed in July 2019. Then Google goes on with several suppositions, like maybe contract negotiations were not going well & since Steve Burton was back maybe it had a negative impact on story for him. Etc.

The thought of enduring Round 11 of Jasam makes me want to fling myself off a cliff.

Sam has been played out for over a decade at minimum. The character should've been written out long ago. She's not entitled to another tedious round of that couple to stay employed.

I know we moved to the November thread, but I guess my question was who did KeMo want to be paired with at this point?  Obviously not Steve, she didn't seem to what to be paired with CM's Drew, they were bringing back Lulu so Sam couldn't stay with Dante forever, and, sadly, Billy Miller passed away.   I am just trying to figure out what KeMo wanted and how she thought she was going to manage to stay employed if she just vetoed everything?

Great question. The most recent information I am aware of says that she did not want the proposed triangle with Dante & Lulu but instead wanted to be repaired as JaSam. The problem is that does not seem to make sense with anything else she has said. So, basically, I have the same question you pose.

Just WooooooW!!!!

 

Now that had me in my feels. And regardless of other stories in the episode (Drew vs Cody, Michael having back-to-back ewww sex with Willow), I actually feel like the focus was on Sam dying and playing the start of that out beat by beat. I felt things were finally allowed to breathe IMHO. The only thing that irked me was some of the staging cuz if THE SOUP was still around, trust those overhead angles would get a shoutout.

 

NLG played it to the hilt. And when Alexis broke down in Liz's arms, I started crying too just hearing those sobs. That resonated. So did Alexis's denial. Alexis's anger. Her crawling in the bed with the cold Sam. Just so much to enjoy in NLG's performance. 

 

And I can say the same about SB, too. He shows so much with his eyes. And his body language for the most part was actually relating. Bonus point for the moment when Lucas is talking to Alexis, Jason and Liz sharing a look. And then Liz walking him through what happened. Not only a good Liason moment, but if anyone would understand, it would be her giving the loves of her life that have died/'died.' And then Jason got to the hospital room and SB sold that for me. And that last scene...awww. I'm so happy that SB came with a Jason who can emote a lot better than he normally does. And speaking of couples, while I was not a big Jasam fan, I love that they got a montage, and it was beautiful. Feeling for their fans. 

 

Cody with money? I'm down. Now what will he do with it? Though I still feel this anger at Drew...which is projected mind you...still comes across jarring.

 

I can't believe Michael forgave Willow. And double ewwww at him having sex with her after having sex with Sasha. 

 

The gasp I let out when Alexis talk about Sam's death in front of Dante and Rocco.

Those awkward overhead angles are ridiculous. I thought it was funny the first time they did it & some poster asked if it was supposed to represent Violet's pov. Every other time since then I've just been so annoyed it's not even funny. 

I thought it was a shame that he didn't get enough to buy Serenity.

    • Loved Valerie Mahaffey as crazy as a box of frogs Sandy Cooper on Wings. 2025 needs to chill out already. May Ms. Mahaffey rest in peace.
    • She was great on there. And Wings. And so many shows. I don't feel like we get those character actors as much now.
    • Cady did have a southern accent as Dixie in her first few years playing the character... but it started to minimize the longer she played the character (which tracks because my aunt had a heavy southern accent when married my uncle and years living in the north has softened it quite a bit). Her initial stint playing Rosanna was partly due to mirroring the previous actress and eventually developing her own take on the character. And the thing about her take as Kelly on Y & R was that she was too sedate when she first took over playing the role (she was supposed to play a woman that had recently lost her child.. and trying to keep things together) and then went OTT crazy and didn't play it well.    And I don't care to remember her attempt at playing Jennifer on Days. I think this Pamela character is the first time she's playing a character from the start and I think she's like a kid at a candy store.  She's having so much fun trying different things... and I hope eventually she decides to settle on a more consistent character for Pamela (perhaps her love of accents is a character trait based on something traumatic that happened to her in the past maybe).
    • That's sad. I remember her mostly from ER and the shortlived, yet very funny, sitcom The Powers That Be.
    • As always loved seeing Ric with Liz. I hope the show forever keeps them in each others orbit even if it’s just platonic. I’m sure she’s going to cut him out when she finds out he’s blackmailing Alexis though. So darn.
    • I have to be honest I’m really struggling with this show. I love everything with Eva/Leslie/Ted/Nicole/Kat and enjoy Dani and Bill’s shenanigans (I’m on the Hayley needs to be recast train now tho), Chelsea is second to Kat as my favorite Dupree grandkid and I loved her coming out to her mom. The show was on a truly great run with the big Leslie and Eva reveal at Nicole and Ted’s anniversary party and the fall out has still been good even with the unnecessary Ted recast and them making Leslie kind of dumb by exposing herself too much unnecessarily. The real problem for me started when they rotated back to way too damn much screen time for Derek/Ashley/Andre (if anyone should have been up first for a recast it was these three IMO). They tried way too hard to drum up drama between Ashley and Derek and the actors were clearly fighting for their mediocre charisma less acting lives to make it work but none of it landed, just horrible. Naomi and Jacob and this weird homeless woman story are also BORING. I can see where its potentially going but IDGAF at all, my only hope for them is that they’re building a triangle with Naomi/Jacob/Kat because Jacob and Kat have stronger chemistry together than their current love interests (Eva is the only one who can make the awful Tomas work). Martin, his secret and still cringe worthy acting got kind of interesting with Bill dropping hints to Smitty but they completely lost me with that lil fakeout scene at the country club. The lame “teenagers” (air quotes because Samantha is no Bianca Lawson and never beating the black Andrea Zuckerman allegations) can get off my screen as well. Joey creeping on Vanessa is grossing me out at this point, I actually quite like Vanessa and Doug now but Joey falls totally flat as a villain and someone we’re supposed to buy Vanessa being enamored with. I’m glad they’ve finally set up something interesting for Vernon and Anita to do with this girl band reunion instead of Anita wringing her hands and telling us she feels darkness coming and Vernon giving a civil rights speech every episode but yeah… People who’ve posted with me for other shows know I’m not one for fast forwarding or hate watching either, if I find a majority of a show is not working I usually just quit but because of what this show represents for me as a Black male soap fan I really want to stick it out. Its just become a challenge lately. I saw Guza has left the building and I REALLY hope we hear about some more BTS changes. The additions of Tracy Thompson and Jamie Giddens don’t exactly inspire a lot of confidence from me tho. Honestly praying hard for a new EP to replace JHC, a lot of the stuff that annoyed about her PC and AMC runs has started to match up here. I’m giving the show through the Summer to rectify some things but IDK how long I can hold on tbh. Its been a struggle to even finish some of these episodes lately.
    • I agree. I liked the episode but it felt jarring to suddenly return to a bunch of plots that had been put on pause since the Nurses' Ball started. Although I did like Laura popping in at the end to tell Alexis that millions of dollars have suddenly disappeared from Ace's trust fund. One set of scenes that made me feel optimistic for the next few months were between Sofia Mattsson and Rory Gibson. While Rory has been good as a darker, colder Michael this week, I was worried that he might not have much range. But he really warmed up with Mattsson, and I thought that (for the first time) Michael and Sasha had some genuine chemistry.
    • Next week is going to be such a sad time... I just feel it based on what was shown today. I'm wondering if the whole John being bandaged thing being a throwback to how he first arrived on the show was a Ron C idea since it just seems as though this would be something he would come up with.  If so, it's good that Cwikly/Ford are in charge with the implementing of the idea instead of him. Just a delayed thought from the Ciara scenes earlier in the week, or last week.. and how she had an odd way of dressing/acting.  I chuckle because little Ciara did say that she admired and wanted to be just like Kristen when she grew up.  So the fact that her outfit choices are so odd/off beat and her manner is a bit OTT just fits.. especially since Eileen's Kristen had an odd sense of fashion and that frantic OTT undertone to her delivery. With that said, a part of me wonders how Eileen's Kristen would have handled the scenes being done this week in regards to John's situation.   
    • My god the smirking was back in full force today. He almost started smiling after Johnny mentioned he wouldn’t be there if EJ hadn’t raped Sami. I will say I did like seeing him with Dee as they’ve always had great chemistry.    They really are giving a lot of false hope with John getting better. I wish they hadn’t done that. Monday is going to be devastating. I really liked all the characters mixing and mingling today.  Nu-Rachel is still too sweet for me. Loved all the flashbacks. Everyone looked so young. Really enjoyed Brady’s scenes with John today.
