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.

    • Leslie and her family are from Chicago? Anita's background also includes being a former Chi-Town native? Might they connect this and go somewhere with it?
    • Honestly who's to say Leslie even birthed Eva, I mean she's a liar, I wouldn't believe a word she says about Eva being Ted's(or hers)
    •   1. 11/1/83 cast/set list:  

      Please register in order to view this content

          The "11/2/83" video you posted of Ruth Buzzi's scenes includes Roman and Hope in them, meaning the video you posted is actually 11/1/83, since Roman and Hope aren't in 11/2/83.   2. The video you posted of "11/2/83" has scenes with Roman and Hope. As you can see from my cast/set list, Roman and Hope are not in the 11/2/83 episode (see above note):   4573...11/2/83: Cast: Mickey, Julie, Doug, Maggie, Neil, Don, Marie, Alex, Liz, Andre as Tony, Gwen, Chris, Eugene, Sandy, Letitia, Charlene, Mrs. Whiting, Wanda/Guard, Dave, Delia, Saleslady # 1, Saleslady # 2, Figure in Dark, Raven/animal, Cats/animals, Birds/animals.   2.  11/3/83 :My video collection starts with 11/4/83. so I don't have the 11/1/83 or 11/3/83 video, but in addition to the cast/set list for 11/3/83, here is also the parking clearance call sheet for that day, showing Ruth was not only in the cast/set list but did work that day:     They even had hired the animal trainer and all the animals for the day, so It's sort of a certainty that her scenes were not cut that day, or it would have been a big waste of the budget. 3. As for 11/7/83, I just fast-forwarded through that whole episode myself. Letitia is in it from start to finish. It's her big final episode where she is killed. She starts the episode saying "Eugene, are you there?" In the next act, Marlena shows up and meets Letitia's lion. Later in the episode, Letitia is killed by "Eugene" (the Salem Slasher in a Eugene mask).   So, as we can see from your own post, the 11/2/83 date you have listed on that video is incorrect, since Hope and Roman are in that video but not in the 11/2/83 episode.It seems the dates you have on all your early November 1983 episodes are incorrect.   When you post videos and suggest that my data is incorrect, do you not first compare who is in the scenes and see if that matches who is in the episode? You didn't do that with the "11/2/83" episode, which based on Roman and Hope being in it means that is actually 11/1/83. Best to do something like that first before suggesting my data and research is incorrect.
    • Within the Dupree family, I predict Vernon/Anita will be conflicted about what to do about Bill and his role in the whole Ted/Silk Press Sheila situation... especially since Bill knows where the particular bone about Martin is buried. Dani, Chelsea, and Naomi's reactions to what Bill possibly did isn't hard to guess.. but Hayley's reactions will be interesting to hear.  Especially given her recent pregnancy scare.. she might not be so much on Bill's side, or she'll totally surprise us and be totally on Bill's side.   Either way, I think Martin's secret will be the main focus in May sweeps.. with the fall out of the Eva secret playing out in the background... while the Joey/Vanessa/Doug thing continues to boil/develop.
    • Hotel was The Love Boat on land but a little soapier. I will forever maintain that Hotel was a time slot hit. I don't believe that 1983/84 Hotel was a better show than Knots Landing.

    • The timing is strange, though. How far in advance would they normally be on location? The Achille Lauro hijacking was on October 7, 1985. Nancy had arrived in Egypt in the storyline by October 18. But the character of Hawk, Chris' Native American friend from Arizona, had already appeared onscreen by September and brought a letter telling Chris to be in Egypt by October 25th.  Why did they already have the link to Arizona before the reason to cancel the shoot in Egypt?  The dust and the jar it came in were from Egypt though. Nancy bought it there and sent it to Mac as a gift before she came back to the states and followed Chris to Arizona.
    • Actually that is not what happened. Nor is the timing right for it to have been. We learned from a WOST interview with Pete Lemay  in 2006, which can be found on YT, that it was Fred Silverman's idea to do the 90 minute show. I don't know how much you know about him but he had these amazing successes as head of daytime at both ABC & at CBS. Then he came to NBC where basically everything he touched turned NOT TO GOLD but to shite. Some of the most expensive shows ever produced up to that time were huge flops. Although even he, like a broken clock, could be right on occasion. However, as we know, he was not right about the 90 minute show. As a matter of fact, afterward,  NBC programmers, who worked FOR him, were asked why they did it & they were quoted as saying it was because they couldn't think of anything else to try. It was a stupid idea from a man who had reached the point where he was throwing anything at the wall to see if it would stick.
