I actually needed to stop, google Rory and try (in vain) to recall even one scene with him.  That's how hard I struggle these days with the 42,000 people who are on this damn show (41,980 of whom Frank refuses to fire).

The show also never really committed to Trina and Gio. He was making cow eyes at Joss even as we were told he was supposed to care about Trina. Many Trina fans loathe Joss, with good reason. The optics were awful and yet again reminded them that a black woman isn't good enough, especially one who so degrades herself to the point of calling herself a "bitch" at Joss' mercy. Frank isn't going to have one of his himbos with someone the show doesn't see as the ideal. 

Even if the show had actually cared about a Trina/Gio pairing, some fans would have objected, undoubtedly, but that is just how a lot of overzealous fans are. Liz fans have hated all her pairings for many years, and she still gets stuck in them. They were never seriously committed to putting Trina with a white man, especially one we are meant to love. And this C-pairing with Kai will likely just serve as a "well, here's something, leave us alone," until Trina leaves next year, never to be mentioned again.

 They do. Even Stella, who was used well under Mulcahey and had a good response, is not getting those moments now. The show has been visibly afraid to give anything beyond a crumb of a crumb to black characters, and the election results likely just confirmed every fear or prejudice.

I agree that Simone felt more centered, and the show would never make that effort today, no matter how dull Tom was (he was still seen as an important character at the time).

Oh, man.  I forgot GH was preempted today and got a real jump scare when the show opened with Finn/Violet.

What a horrible episode to show on a holiday.  GH can't dig out a Christmas episode from the past?  Even the recent past?

Yep, I agree. There's no reason to show Blaze ever again, and my hatred of Natalia continues.

Who in the hell chooses these repeats? Violet? Because GH never gets it right.

-- Lots of great comments on these pages about Trina, Gio, Lulu, and others. Still, I don't think they're going to listen to any of us. Have you seen the streaming numbers? Last week, GH was number 1 on Hulu for most of the week and in the top 5 every day. I'm sure they see those numbers and tell themselves how awesome it's all going.

Surprisingly, Violet isn't even the worst part of it all.  It just a sad episode where Gregory dies and Dex is all beat up with everyone begging him not to turn Sonny in.  At least show Brook Lynn and Chase's wedding if it has to be from that time period.  That was a happy event that is fitting for a holiday.

No idea.  Probably.  Babies do die on the show, but a lot of them don't hence the reason we have 15 kids on the canvas right now of varying ages.

      I will defend Dante.  People already suspect he may be a bit unstable from time to time (from his time as a prisoner).  And, he's taking care of other people's kids from time to time.  So, he has reason to be cautious with those in his care.

      Josh continues to try and milk Abbott/Newman rivalry. First it was Billy/Victoria, then Kyle/Summer, then Noah/Allie (that worked out well) and now Kyle/Claire. Do we have any inkling when Billy Flynn will arrive and who he will play? I'm sure Cole's illness will mostly play offscreen. What's in store for Nick and Sharon? Is it time to put them back together? I can't see any other romantic options. Nick has no children on the canvas to play off, as Christian is never seen. Sharon has only Mariah onscreen.

      I would appreciate (if they're not coming), for future scripts to refer to them by their iconic hairdos.  For example, if Hope needs to call Chelsea because Bo has Sepsis, I'd like Shawn-D to say, "My Mom called Chelsea (the one with the sassy short black hair) for an update." Also, new rule, if Melanie does return, she needs to dye her hair back to red.  I googled who she was five times during Victor's funeral.

      Edge of Night (EON) (No spoilers please)

      By chrisml · Posted

      Broderick, thank you for all of the info [I edited for space]. I am so grateful for everyone filling in the blanks for me. I suspected the Nora/Eliot scene was very important and it was setting something up but I didn't know what. Can't wait to see it play out. The two actors had such a great back and forth. I should have made the Paige/Patty Hearst connection. I thought Paige was in love with Brian from the first episode I watched but it seemed as if they were brother and sister. Steve kept being affectionate with her so I assumed he was the love interest. Then she was affectionate with someone else and well..she's a very busy woman. I can't wait to see Frances Fisher show up. (I'm trying to be vague because I don't know what would be a spoiler in this storyline) Now it makes sense why Draper would be upset. I didn't get the whole background of why he didn't go to NY. I'm a sucker for good acting, so I might still side with April and Margo, if the writers don't give Draper more to do besides yelling.  He had more chemistry with Logan, but I know that's not happening.  Something else I noticed: the show really takes care with even the smallest parts. The acting is superb. Too often, I noticed on older soaps they don't take care with the recurring or day players (Ryan's Hope was so bad with this that I couldn't make it through some episodes). It's only been six episodes, but so far, the casting department was spot on.

      I thought Dante was overreacting.  Gio made some mistakes but he's young and he tried.  It's not like he dragged two 14 years to a party and made them get blackout drunk.  Dante can have the initial upset reaction, but to go on and on was a bit much.

      His (adoptive) nieces.  Chelsea and Stephanie.  I think Abby was involved too, but I am not sure if they are related lol.

      That was such a dark story. I never liked Swamp girl after that. And then the dating your cousin thing. I think wasn’t Max in a triangle with two of his cousins?

      Thank you, @j swift.  I'm probably more sympathetic to Draper Scott than most audience members are -- even though I'm absolutely CRAZY about Ann Williams & her bizarre Margo Huntington character

      The more I watch these episodes -- and I've watched several of them a zillion times, I'm ashamed to admit -- you realize there's a WHOLE lot of passive-aggressive hostility brewing inside Margo Huntington about Draper.  She wants to take April AWAY from him and recreate the childhood that she never got to experience with April, because of the adoption 25 years ago.  Draper has sense enough to realize how heartless and vindictive Margo really is about other people's lives and their feelings, but he bites his tongue rather than poison his wife's mind about how horrible her mother really is.  And I admire him for that.  He's a sweet boy.

      Unfortunately, as the 90s wore on, Felicia started wearing as many gray and neutral tones as Giorgio Armani and Donna Karan could produce, and the shoulder pads deflated to a drop sleeve.

      I think Dante is reacting how most parents would react.
