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.

    • I 100% agree but I think this is due to how the show is structured. It's a one family show which means there are no people in her age range that could be used as friends or contemporaries of her. The show definitely needs a second main family. I am glad someone finally said this. Especially now that the cast is gelling in their roles, he stands out like a sore thumb. No energy, no chemistry with anybody. He is just there.  I thought that was odd as well! The previous scene would've worked better as a tag for the credits.
    • That's the one and only Carrie Nye (Mrs. Dick Cavett) as Susan Piper, a deadly realtor. I don't want to spoil a lot if you ever want to see those episodes. She returns as another character in 2003. I think Grant has aged well and he always did a good job at being ripped without going too far, but he was never entirely my cup of tea either. I did think John Bolger was hot.
    • Totally agree. KKL looks great! It makes the Widge groveling so bizarre. Brooke needs to leave FC and with $B's/Liam's funding launch a rival fashion house with Hope, Rick, Katie and a secret designer. The best scenario is that Rick has been absent because he's been with very much alive C2, who is revealed on the runway as the secret designer. It'll never happen because B&B is comfortable just focusing on FC and the Forresters Marones v. Logans. But it'd been so much more interesting if the Spencers/Logans united.

    • Haha that scarf thing did go on a bit too long, very odd. And what a young Rick!  I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I just never got the physical appeal of Grant Aleksander, but he's definitely a great actor. Who is the older lady around the 8:30 mark, and also ends the episode, alone and in pain? She seems like a really interesting character. I love the smoky voice and sultry, snaky vibe she seems to have.
    • I can't remember exactly but I think she lives in or is part of the cottage story with Carrie. Carrie poisons her in this episode.  I forgot Teresa was on the show. (I see that AI is insisting she wasn't - well they're wrong) Poor Maeve. I can how even she had her limits. 
    • It pisses me off that the other Duprees are making this incident all about them as well. They are playing a family of victims, acting as if Ted cheated on all of them. They should be supportive, but not like this. I have a family that makes anything that happens to me personally all about them, and seeing the same thing on TV is rage-inducing.
    • There are the makings of good Emmy reels in these past couple of episodes, but the industry is still going to favor even the most mediocre stories and performances on the older soaps. And with the pressure from the government over race I can see the academy shutting out Beyond The Gates to avoid criticism from the administration and the far right media.
    • oh, definitely! It's too bad she hit the start of a rough transition period for the show. She shines, but she's stuck with bad story and some (if not exactly bad) not great co-stars.  Uh, who did Maureen O'Sullivan play? (Sigh--and only if I'd understood exactly who and how wonderful Teresa Wright was in '86) God, the summer of '84 was literally one event after another. Kim's outfit alone must've been worth a small fortune. And poor Maeve. She looks so uncomfortable. Rebecca Hollen told a story on Locher Room where Maeve dropped the f-bomb during the shooting of it. For some reason, she wasn't being listened to, and had just had enough. As a producer, I would've been holding my breath as my pregnant actress kept walking around strange and undoubtably uneven sets in that long skirt.
