And at looooooooooong last, LULU!!!!

 

Well, this has been a long time coming for me. And honestly, I really can't get over how much AB favors JMB. It's uncanny. And seeing her outside of a 2 second ending coda? Her vibe is definitely like hers. I see that Spencer fire. I feel that grit. And I saw that people were complaining about the fact that she was in a coma for four years and shouldn't really be able to move. Well, it is a soap. That said...at least the writers played that beat. And it was a good show for showing that Lulu has that Spencer determination. So worth the wait and loving it so far. But as was mentioned a few days ago, fingers crossed this is not going to be like Lucky's return where it takes weeks for Lulu to encounter anyone we would rather see her with.

 

Loved the Jason/Danny scene. And there was a moment when AA had that look that was hilariously real in the 'don't kid a kidder' vein. Well...at least he's improving. I still cite face structure.

 

Well, good to know that Lucas knows that it was not his fault that Sam died. And that said...so...someone did murder Sam. Oooooh dear...guess we are getting 2 murder mysteries for the price of one, huh? But it appeared to be a story involving Elizabeth so I'll take it. 

 

I could care less about Kristina so I zoned out on her scenes with Dante. Though I continue to feel for Dante. And Alexis found Sam's will and the kids were left to Drew. Well...I guess the fight for the blended family begins.

Very. But heaven forbid this show focus on Liz or pairings that work. 

 

Lol. IKR. AB played that sooooo well though.

Which reminds me...I love that after such a looooooooong time we are getting a Webber/Spencer resurgence. Regardless of the uneven writing, I do love that I got my wish this year and Laura's kids are back in town.

It's obvious, GH has been going through a major transition in front of and behind the scenes this past year. I have to give FV credit for making GH the best looking soap, from the sets, costumes, etc. but EK and CVE are not the writers to be in charge with such a huge overhaul/transition taking place. 

Ultimately, I think ABC still supports the show but the budget has definitely been cut. Their daytime line-up is a mess and if BTG becomes a huge hit, I think ABC will jump on board with maybe rebooting one of our beloved soaps.

But back to GH, Rick Hearst and Maura West are gold together. They definitely need to lean into that. MB seems more checked out than usual, CM is playing Drew the way the character is being written. This is so not BM's Drew. Drew is becoming a true messy Quartermaine. Sam's death is not sitting well with me at all but it has hit the canvas pretty hard.

All this to say, GH still has so much potential to be a great show. With the obvious budget cuts and actor guarantees being adjusted, I blame EK and CVE for the disjointed clumsy writing for Laura, Lucky etc.

Look, I will always love Michael E. Knight.  AFAIC, he's the funniest actor ever to work in daytime; and his work as "Tad the Cad" in that triangle with Liza (Marcy Walker) and Marian (Jennifer Bassey) will always remain a gold standard for the genre.  But I cannot and will not support keeping him on GH in any capacity.  He (and Rena Sofer) deserves much better than that.

I also have in everything he's been in (and said as such sorry not sorry), but I do continue to feel that if we are going to keep Brennan around, he is being used the wrong way. But the only person who gave him the potential to move beyond a side character was PM. 

 

PREACH!!!

 

Perhaps the hidden person (allegedly) who was behind the PM hiring should step in yet again and do this because playing catch up on the thread and hearing how block filming is already hindering the already strong start to this next leg of Lulu's storyline ain't it. 

 

LOL.

 

Thank you. Tail end of November Sweeps and it does feel uneven and what would interest me (sam's death, lucky's return, lulu's return, michael vs drew) has been all over the place with no focus. And in the case of Lulu's...now I'm worried we won't even get her, Lucky, and Laura all on frame in the same scene at the same time. Bonus if Nik is roped in. Just ridiculous for a moment that has been years in the making. 

 

LOL!!! Oh, your shade!!!! 

 

Well when they are allowed to be around each other, I have found Gio and Trina to have chemistry. The only thing that has let them down has been the writing. They keep getting played before with that 'wacka wacka' slapsticky writing that I don't like from these writers. But give them an organic conflict and they are good together. Like the scene where they were outside Bobbie's and had issues over their opinions on Ava. That was good writing and something to build on for them if they were to become a couple given Trina's friendship/history with Ava and Gio's loyalty to Sonny and family. But alas.

We have no idea who murdered Austin and it happened a year ago.

From August 2023 until her departure in April 2023, Lexi Ainsworth appeared in 116 episodes as Kristina. Kate Mansi has appeared in 105 episodes so far this year. Kate has made Kristina a force on this show.

See I feel like that was revealed to the audience, but not to the characters. But I'll sure someone will come in here to verify the scab writing scene I'm thinking of. 

 

Same. Thus the gif because they SHOULD be feuding. So them getting along at all gives me pause.

The only reason it currently makes sense to me and it’s something I totally forgot because they aren’t related to each other but MORGAN was both of their brothers, I always forget about him tbh. But yeah Ava tampering with his meds is something I think will always bond them especially if it’s anyone in their blended family going against Ava. It looked like they might move the feud to Molly instead and that works for me too since they don’t share any relatives at all.

    • Put me in the minority in being happy about Cat not being Abby. After the two adult recasts played tag with the role, it's time for a few years of rest. I have a huge list of things I hate about RC's writing, but that choice was not one of them. 
    • Except she never worked there at all and barely even knew where the Chancellor Industries plant was located  In 1980, Kay attempted to install Derek Thurston (her third husband) in a position at Chancellor Industries.  The show introduced a character named George Packard who'd supposedly been running Chancellor since Phillip's demise in 1975.  (George Packard's storyline in 1980 was attempting to keep Derek Thurston from bankrupting the company.)   We didn't hear much of anything about Chancellor Industries for the next twenty-five years.  Then, at that point, we met Eliot Hampton (?) who'd been running the company for decades and had been embezzling from it.  Jill took it upon her herself to oust Eliot Hampton (?) and take control of the company.  That's when Kay became actively involved in the management of the company.  From 1974 till 2004 Kay Chancellor was strictly a hands-off owner.  It was downright absurd that the last ten years of life, she was written as this formidable businesswoman who'd always been involved in Chancellor Industries.  
    • Well, it's going to be something when he finds out the truth.  Agreed.  On that note, I can't until it all comes out. I find Lulu to be ridiculous. 
    • I almost posted this because that was my initial reaction too:  this is weird/cringe, to sing around a piano after such a huge family shattering bomb was dropped.  But I got over that and just enjoyed her voice, the song and the montage we saw as everyone's emotions in the aftermath were pouring out.
    • The Equalizer original series was not a big hit yet it became a movie franchise and got a reboot series. The Equalizer reboot lasted 5 seasons, so one season longer than the original series.
    • Today is Sean Freeman's birthday

      His social media/IMDb doesn't have his age but from some posts he's made, I'm guessing 1989 is his birth year.
    • Here's the timeline, as I recall it being published. The WGA strike was 5/2–9/27/2023 Annalynne McCord was announced as being hired in December 2023, for a one-year contract https://deadline.com/2024/06/days-of-our-lives-when-to-expect-annalynne-mccord-peacock-1235975806/ RonC's first scripts back from the strike began airing May 31, 2024 (around Konstantine & Maggie's wedding) https://www.tvinsider.com/1137709/days-of-our-lives-writers-return-15000th-episode-storylines/ Her first air date was June 19th 2024. The actress has said she was not told who she would be playing until she started taping. RonC 's replacements were announced July 2024, with his scripts airing through April 2025 Side note: DAYS social media team seems to be playing fast and loose with BTS videos, in terms of how far in advance they film content (e.g. their April Fools' Joke videos were clearly not filmed on 4/1/25), so we shouldn't assume anyone's current status, versus those who were there nine months ago.
    • April and her husband (Draper) are the "young leads" who tie all the storyline threads together.  They're normally in the center of the action.  In this particular storyline, Draper is the attorney who represents Paige Madison.  (The district attorney, Logan Swift, has given Paige Madison "temporary immunity from prosecution" if she will lead the police to the members of the Tobias Gang who stole the firearms.  But Paige mainly just ducks bullets from various gang members who pop-up to assassinate her.)    
    • It's one thing to post about a soap's rumors or gossip, which in point of fact we've all done. It's another to present yourself as the inside source who knows something to be fact that's about to break wide, then backtrack and call it just Twitter speculation. Between those two extreme poles you have to commit to one or the other. If I got something wrong, I'd say it. (Nor would I keep playing insider after what I pulled with Drake Hogestyn, which should've gotten someone permanently banned.) And regardless, you don't open with this 'news' you don't actually want to stand by yet by mocking DRW's extremely valid concerns re: how the Trina character and Tabyana Ali has been marginalized and put out to virtual pasture ever since the day NAC left. Her playing out her current contract in a C-storyline with Kai does not change that.
