What was I just saying about Frank finding any way to get a guy shirtless on this show? I didn't mind though. Looks like Curtis has been working out.

A meh episode. First one in a bit actually.

 

It's been funny to see Sonny just sitting with people and the focus not be on him. Wagger who? lol. But first it has been with Dante. And now he's doing it with Alexis. And just Alexis being in grief was the only thing I didn't mind in this episode.

 

Oh...and Lucas/Ryan was the other highlight. It was nice to see them bond. So I guess if the plan is to slowly have them come back together, Carly will be the roadblock. I wouldn't mind that. Carly is overdue to act up.

 

Shockingly Sidwell is going on me.

 

And we know I am not living for any moment where Anna has to beg period.

Several times today Liz mentioned that Aiden and Lucky are getting to know each other better. Would be nice if us viewers saw that. They had 1 episode where they bonded (Aiden's coming out) that's it. 

I'm also over whiney deadbeat Lucky. If this is all they going have him do every time he's on, Lucky can leave again.

This is what I said would happen a few days ago. They won't run a lot of the character material onscreen for key stories beyond a scene or two because Frank is too busy playing Russian Roulette with everyone's guarantees and the block taping, as always. So you get an intro to Lucky and Aiden reconnecting and then a ton of it will be offscreen for weeks or months while people just talk about it in passing. It's what he's done (and Ron in the past did) with character development for years.

The show continues to have many elements that could be great if watered to the right potential, and many that are beyond stale and should've been purged years ago. (And it's a wild contrast to viewing the key transitional period in 1991 to Linda Gottlieb's OLTL, where they slaughtered the cast like it was the French Revolution.) It's depressing to see it right back in the same old rut of strangled potential and storytelling that vacillates by the week between go-nowhere and furiously frenetic, speedrunning past any potential drama. I'm watching for the Spencers atm, but I skip past a lot of the Sasha Saga, etc. And I just don't have any time for half the cast anymore, including Fake Shemp Molly and T.J. or the wreck they've once again made of Kristina. Ava also appears to be doing nothing but flirting with Ric and gabbing with Nina every other Tuesday. And the less said about poor LW's onscreen prospects (and wardrobe), the better.

Lucky: "If what I'm looking for isn't here, then why should I stay?" Are you kidding me with this dialogue? GH works overtime to bring back Jonathan Jackson and then saddles him with this crap?

Lucky is perpetually saddled with teenage angst + the 7 year old who wants to run away from home every other month. It's maddening.

And did GH/ABC become afraid of the Aiden character during his first 2 appearances? I don't understand writing in gay characters and then having this much fear over writing for them. There was so much to mine about Aiden and Lucky's relationship with him, and all we know is "They've talked."

GH spent more time on deciding to have Sonny and Lucky spar in the boxing ring and deciding to give JJ sleeves while letting MB go sleeveless.

    • Tbf it's not unusual for a family when they are dealing with some bad news that changes a life to use song to give out hope.Especially black families. I personally had to deal with that very thing this weekend. Partly off putting, but at the same time, I did get the point and it gave me a bit of hope in the moment.      MM is definitely acting. But Smitty is just so passive. It could turn into quiet strength at some point, but for now...passive IMO. 
    • Am I remembering correctly that the Madison's lived in a Spanish revival-style house? I have a vague recollection of the fireplace looking especially Spanish in style. It is unusual that Montecello had so many architectural styles.  Obviously, that might occur IRL.  But, look at other east coast soaps and there is a definitive style that is throughout (because it was styled by a set decorator) regardless of the income of the occupants.
    • @kalbir MSW was a powerhouse for CBS. Angela Lansbury was a superb actress. In 1985, TV viewers were tiring of the primetime soaps and the like. People wanted storytelling and MSW was great at that and had great guest stars. Storytelling -- an amazing and novel concept. CBS Daytime by 1985 was beating ABC so CBS was on the upswing.
    • I'd say just the opposite - conflict means they will find out and then be at odds. For the limited amount of time people on this show have conflict (if they aren't named Nina or Ric, I guess).
    • Totes mcgoats (aka I agree). But, now the character needs to move forward.  Clyde's exit was 12/11/24.  It is May.  She and Chad have been on one date. I don't think they've slept together. And she was only planning on sticking around for a year.
    • That is one of the best insults I've heard in a long time.  I burst out laughing when Kat called Eva that.  LOL Their scenes, of course, were really good.  Colby and Ambyr have so much chemistry.  The only thing I'd change is Kat saying "you're dead to me."  That's a phrase usually said about someone you care about.  I would've preferred something like "You will never be my sister," or something similar to that.  Nice contrast at the end with both mothers/daughters:  Kat comforting/consoling her mother, and Eva being locked out by her mother.  Yeah, I wasn't a big of fan of the singing either, especially after your daughter's life has been destroyed.  What?  LOL And I also agree with those that thought Dana/Leslie's scenes with the Dupree's didn't feel right since Eva is not a Dupree....unless she is.  But as of right now, she's not. 
    • Trisha Mann-Grant, Ambyr Michelle, Sean Freeman are destined for bigger and better things. They need to move on as soon as their initial contracts are done.
    • Daphnée Duplaix and Trisha Mann-Grant on Instagram live, 5/5/2025 just concluded, saved here https://www.instagram.com/p/DJSsYb7PDv8/                
    • I really need to see Anita in a scene that isn't with a family member. In fact, I would have preferred that she would have gotten rid of the mob and had a one on one with Leslie to lay down the law with her.  I'm going to say it, Mike Manning has been completely lifeless on this show. Other than people's superficial fondness for him, I don't get what they see in him as an actor. I never saw him on DAYS though. The show had another really strange cut right before the opening credits where it looked like they almost cut off Nicole mid-sentence.  Kat/Eva are carrying this show on their backs. Lock them in for lifetime contracts, I beg.
    • There's a 1980 scene of Victor and Katherine in the Chancellor Estate living room where they went over a contract that would put Victor in charge of Chancellor Industries, but it was rewritten that Katherine brought Victor to Genoa City so he could run Chancellor Industries.
