Parts of this workout are not my favorite, but I can appreciate that the more I do these exercises the better I get at them. I’ve learned to enjoy starting my day with something that physically challenges me and is also an emotional cleanse of sorts. It feels good to prioritize myself…and have biceps. (They’re small, but they are there.) Oh, and I edited out the parts where I’m talking [!@#$%^&*]. That made this video a whopping 48 seconds.

Its so great to see Kirsten taking good care of herself and us as viewers being able to reap the benefits of her increased confidence level on screen

I rewatched the last two weeks of episodes because I wanted to see Sam’s funeral again before Hulu purges them, then ended up in the classic GH thread and watched the beginning of Stone’s Thanksgiving death right after. The contrast in tone and overall feel was so stark it legit left me aghast.

This show is so cold and sterile now in comparison. Even in its most depressing story era the episodes had a warmth, silliness and heart that felt like a big comforting hug from your fam.

The only way to describe the current day vibe is like being in an actual hospital with harsh lighting, loud background “music” and frantic edit pacing that makes you unable to fully immerse and breathe for scenes. I wish someone upstairs at ABC would mandate a full aesthetic refresh because they need it badly.

Still looking forward to Lulu and Rocco tomorrow

The Frank Valentini way - it’s been like that since the end of his OLTL tenure and almost immediately when he came over to GH. The only way they’re getting an aesthetical makeover is if he and the people he brought along with him are gone. GH still has a great variety of sets, but that’s just about the only thing the show has going for it under Valentini’s vapid and soulless production.

Yeah, Kristen Storms and the Comeback of Maxie...first under PM's writing and how it's been maintained through the writing change...has been a year highlight for me as well.

My thoughts for the beginning of the month:

-I am tired of Amanda Setton and want Brook Lynn recast.

-Olivia is the next character who should be exited. She and Lois are redundant.

-Rick Hearst should be on contract. Ric has had a great return.

-I don't miss Scott and don't care if he is ever brought back.

-Now that Robert has left, I think that Laura should appoint her brother Martin as the DA.

She looks good. Ive commented on how bad she looked a few years ago and was shocked to see she not only has lost alot of weight but her styling has improved on the show as well. She looks alot healthier which is the important part. Good for her on her positive progress. Hope she is happy

 

Im delayed in my viewinand just saw Sam's funeral on Hulu. Still upset she is gone but thought they did well especially with the flashbacks. Surprised they had her and Sonny as a couple as in hte past, they tried to forget that that happened.

 

What was the deal with Alexis bullying her into inducing her labor early? I forgot that story. Im guessing something about Kristina being sick?

 

So they really trying to insinuate that Liz killed Sam accidentally? Wow. That was a twist I was not expecting.

 

I hate the Quartermaine mansion set. The decor and colors are gaudy and not giving the modern vibe it feels they failed at attempting to get

I'm simply stunned. I swear I did NOT see that coming. I mean, it looks like they are breaking up Tolly. They've been a stable couple for 12 years, I think, which is a long time on this show. And, it is absolutely bizarro world that it means Kristina's seemingly crazy ranting that they might break up was ... right. 

NuLulu & Rocco totally delivered the goods! What a day to be a GH fan!

Lulu and Rocco’s reunion did not disappoint. Great work from Alexa Havins and Finn Carr you’d think they’d been working together for years. The chemistry between DZ and AH wasn’t as strong to me at first because he seemed to play Dante kind of cold. I did enjoy them once Lulu started bantering with him over her stubbornness and Alexa played the heartbreak over whoever the hell Dustin was very well, same with the confusion as Dante started slowly catching her up on Cyrus and how she ended up comatose. I felt so bad for Danny lurking outside the room, poor kid.

Wow Molly and TJ really had it out, kudos to Tahj Bellows and Kristin Vaganos they did excellent work. I’m glad they both finally stopped avoiding each other and admitted where they stand on everything including trying for another baby. That last shot with the two collapsing and crying on different sides of the door was really good. The characters being together for 12 years is kind of crazy considering their ages so I’m not mad if this is a real split for them.

Ric and Alexis going at it at the courthouse was also

I’m firmly team Ric here, Alexis has babied Kristina for too long at the expense of Molly

Drew trying to move Scout to DC before allowing Jason to live with them at the Q mansion was nasty work and I’m glad Carly got on both their heads for not making the kids first priority by feuding like this. That said I need the feud to continue for entertainment purposes

The Laura and Lucky scenes didn’t do much for me though I’m glad she knows Lulu’s awake and that Cyrus has been creeping. The stuff with Sonny and Kristina was also background noise

@Cheap21 the Sam and Alexis fight was from when Kristina needed a transplant and it was first revealed to Sonny he was her father. Alexis yelled at Sam because she wanted her to induce her labor and the stress caused her to do it anyway and the baby ended up dying. I had forgotten how great those scenes were til I saw the flashback. Agreed on the Q mansion set being bland looking as if they stole a room from the Ikea store

Me too. Also old money rich people don’t decorate their houses this way. Nothing looks remotely traditional, or even like the new style but luxury. It doesn’t look rich at all. And after a couple of months they decided to add that ugly wallpaper which made things worse to me.

    • Jill Farren Phelps was always very skilled at saying what she meant onscreen in the bluntest way possible, like whenever she wanted fans to support one character vs. the other (hence Megan McTavish groaning about having to write Kale Browne's Sam Rappaport into three days a week at OLTL). Perhaps you should consider doing the same. Historically your intent is always far more obvious than your efforts at coy embroidery anyway. You believe people are dismissing Phelps' accomplishments, and suggest misogyny and fan blinders allow people to too easily pigeonhole and dismiss her skill set. I think we all understand her varied skill set. We're saying it's not enough to make up for her deficiencies as a storyteller and creative. JFP was undoubtedly a skilled technical producer. As a solo storyteller, and de facto HW, she was a repeat and predictable failure. She was not the first or last EP (male or female) to think she was a writer. If you want us to stop taking your behavior personally when you suggest misogyny is at play in board opinions of JFP, perhaps you should consider spending the next 10+ years here not acting like you're the only one who gets it.

      Melissa was here today & we went to Michael's Crafts & Ofc Depot. In Michael's there were two beautiful LITTLE girls who kept staring at me, so I gave them a littel wave & very quietly said HI & then did back. I told Melissa they were staring at me. She smiled & said "Purple. A lot of little girls love purple & you forget but you have purple hair. Seeing you their whole imaginations are transformed! Thinking "That lady has purple hair. That means I can have purple hair! They had no clue before seeing you that it was possible." I just laughed & laughed.
    • This opening scene is hilarious...it's like someone wrote out the script for Philip with one hand. And Rick...sniffing a scarf over and over. And in their next scene they are still sniffing the [!@#$%^&*] scarf as the camera stays all over Philip's bare chest and armpits as he keeps working out. Insane stuff.

      Bay City better be ready, because I'm back!   At Vicky's apartment she is once again drowning in doubts and jealousy. Deep down she realizes that her dream wedding will be a farce and nothing can change that. Bridget tries to calm her down, but the heroine is determined to suffer. She is not hearing any positive thoughts. She doesn't believe Jamie will marry her. At the Cory Publishing building another farce is in process. Iris, once again pretending to be the angel of love and sisterhood... is telling Mac and Rachel some wonderful news. When Iris has good news, you really need to look out for yourself. That's when things are bad. So what are the news? Miss Devil has put Amanda up for an award! Mac is smiling from ear to ear, and Rachel is suspicious. Maybe that's the effect Iris is looking for. To once again accent on the fact that Rachel doubts and criticizes her daughter. Iris will do anything to destabilize their relationship. She is like a cancer. Back to Vicky! Jamie is at the door. Looking like a sad puppy, he has come with a surprise. No, he is not gonna leave her and her unborn... Not yet. He has bought her earrings. Sad face. How nice. NOT. Victoria, of course... manages to break one of them the moment she touches it. Bad premonition maybe? She was back in hysterics. It's not easy to trap a man into marriage. Then you have to live with someone that didn't want you in the first place.  We were introduced to a new character (to me at least she is new) - Cass's sister - Stacey. She is giving me "hidden skeletons in the closet"-vibes. Love a girl like that. Stunning actress. I like her. The highlight of the episode was the strange and creepy reveal of Evan the escort... hugging someone named Janice's grave. I remember she had an issue with Rachel... and Rachel killed her in self defense I think... It was hinted in prior episodes, but I lack the context and story. I just know that everyone at the Frame house was mad that Rachel killed the bish. But I also got the impression that this Janice was sick in the head. So Evan is now talking to her grave and telling her he is going to ruin Rachel's life basically. Oh, Evan... I liked you better as a sexy gigolo.  Overall - 10/10 - how can I rate it lower when I haven't watched in months!!!

    • Once again, Marlena and Kayla were used very effectively and I couldn’t be happier.  Marlena counseling Johnny and then Chanel was the best part of today. They’re really delving into the human emotion of this storyline and I think that’s a good thing. It feels so much mature than it was before. EJ’s fear about what could happen to Johnny if he doesn’t let go of his anger could lead to some really good storylines in the future.  I also really appreciate the way that Paula/Jeanne are mixing it up and having different characters interact with each other. It was nice to see Shawn and Johnny remember that they’re cousins and share a scene together. I liked the parallel that was drawn between the two of them, and what’s going on with their fathers. I did have mixed feelings about everything with Cat though. I enjoyed Chanel warning her about EJ, mostly because it played into the way that she was written today. But I wasn’t the biggest fan of the Chad/EJ scenes. The two of them discussing Chad’s potential feelings for Cat didn’t really keep my interest.  But above all, I feel that everyone is being used more effectively and that we’re getting a better understanding of everyone as well. And that was exactly what Days needed.  
    • It's a wild story for sure, especially the final conclusion (and fireworks offcamera, like Victoria Wyndham tearing into Michael Logan).

    • I did some research and the story wrapped up with Eric,a caretaker responsible for Georgina's death who then  tried to do away with Laurie but a vision of Georgina spooked him and he smashed into a mirror, dying of glass wounds. So there was a supernatural element. I wonder if the Brody character in the credits was Eric Brody?
