I cannot believe we have a paternity story playing out involving one character (Cody), that was just in one himself. I think AI would be capable of at least this level of writing, which is disgusting.

Also- much like with Jax, once you see how an actor is vibing with the character and costars, tweaks should be made. No corporate raider was ever as much of a nice guy as Jax, and that’s because they wrote to Ingo’s strengths. Gio should not be saddled with this. The actor has a light, charming touch and they should play to that. Dante, after his mother hid Sonny as his father from him should not be saddled with this. Lois would not do this to anyone. The secret of Jason’s accident coverup by Ned was one of the final nails in the coffin to their marriage.

The issues with pacing have become even worse. We just zip along. I am trying to not just rip the show apart in every post. But there is so much potential and it’s frustrating to watch.

Again, you might be right. But, it's not the way my thinking is leaning, at this time.

That was months back. So I guess Lois was like Sonny give this violin boy a bunch of cash and he said why not?

Not just violin boy, also, wasn't he orphaned at 10? No father, at least not known, not suggesting anything unusual to his conception. Then his mother up & dies. I presume he had not grandparents or aunts or uncles who could take him in, so Sonny stepped up. It's true I can't stand the guy but he has this reputation of being the mobster with the heart of gold. I have to stop this immediately before I throw up.

Welcome to the show.

Haha. Thanks!

It is good to see a lot of old AMC-ers. 

Michael Knight (but I guess he's gone now?)

Alexa, Cameron, Finola, even Genie and Maurice were on AMC for a bit.

I was never a fan of Ryan on AMC, but CM seems to show some range with Drew.

Oh and JPS (Valentin) was on AMC too.

Also, forgot Eva 🙂

I got a good chuckle from that line.

Dom is 45.

He looks it and more!😂

Alexa is 44 but looks younger.

-- These "Propping Natalia" scenes are too much. Do these writers really think we're buying this kind of redemption? "I'm not that person any more" doesn't work for me, especially with Kristina AGAIN saying the baby felt like hers and Blaze's.

-- TJ and Curtis constantly referring to each other as "Uncle" and "Nephew" is awkward as hell.

-- SMH at Dante going to Sonny -- of all people -- for advice on how to deal with his kids.

-- And no, I don't give a rat's ass if Charlotte is returned to her mother.

-- Molly moved out on  TJ. I guess she took EVERYTHING.

They're not going to give up on trying to get us to change our opinions, feelings, etc. about Natalia. [sigh] When they dig in like this on a character, I become increasingly annoyed. And, Kristina is just letting herself be in denial because Ali told her flat-out that she was NOT prepared for them to be parents yet AT ALL.

Drove me crazy. But, then, Curtis often does. And his relationship with Jordan is inappropriate. Why wasn't he having that conversation with his wife, Portia?!!

But, about the Gio retcon, I'm actually looking forward to it. It could possibly put so many different combinations of people in soapy messy angst. I don't think anyone knows who Gio's bio-parents were except for Lois.

I was going to ask if Curtis/TJ often referred to themselves as "Uncle"/"Nephew".  I couldn't recall.  It was stilted and odd, but I just couldn't remember if that was something the two of them always called one another.

I used to rag on Dominic for looking older than his age when he first started on GH, but I think he looks decent for 45. It helps that his hair has drastically improved.

I'm not sure, and that just goes to today's dialogue being so awkward. There are ways to remind us they're related and how without being odd.

I'm OK with a Gio retcon since what they've done with the character so far is a big nothing. Still, attaching him to BLQ is a mess. I've grown to really dislike AS and her rules for playing Brook Lynn. I want people like her off the show.

I agree with you -- Dom is a good 45 and a really good looking guy.

I actually refer to my nieces and nephews like that as well when I’m talking to them so it wasn’t awkward to me.
