LOL, I don't think so, although liking Brad does probably qualify as a "minority" position, but don't worry about it, most of us inhabit those "minority" positions at one point or another! I certainly have.

About Kate Mansi & Kristina, I feel sure she is delivering exactly what Frank wants. And, he's not done, doing whatever to the character. He's seemingly going to push Kristina all the way to the edge AND then over the cliff.

They need to let Molly smack Kristina, that dig at the end of today saying Molly wasn’t really IRENE’s mother was so nasty.

I’m glad Ava went free as expected and Sonny and Alexis vs Ric and Ava was good stuff. They’re clearly pivoting to the Avery custody battle quickly.

Stella was right about Portia being unprofessional but I can’t stand Brad and hate her being used to prop him. Ew at him succeeding at adding himself to the seminar retreat group so he can stalk Lucas.

Do they just rework the same Deception script every time they’re featured? I’m glad Lois finally killed her proper accent but they need to come up with a new plot for this group ASAP.

Trina and Kai are getting a little repetitive for me and Tabyana Ali seems really nervous in their scenes in a way that makes her acting stiff. I still like Kai’s actor though and I hope they start building his character backstory some more.

Molly should've beaten the sh!t out of Kristina. Her murder mystery can't come soon enough.

The courtroom scenes were nicely acted. Considering how big of a deal they made of the trial the suspense fell flat.

-- Ooooooh, what spicy dialogue today! Kai and Trina both got to say "pissed." GH takes such chances and shows so much courage!

-- Trina and Kai arguing over this one class is hard to watch. Why don't they work on the project instead of arguing about it over and over? And spare me with the idea that Kai's playing for a bigtime college program when he has to beat Lanville in the next game.

-- This Home & Heart stuff is so bad. The Chat podcast insists that "Mickey Mouse is unhappy and they're cutting the budget." Is that true? Because if it is, how does stuff like this make it to air? Yeah, I realize they want to move product on their shopping website, but come on.

-- I LMAO when Brad's phone showed that the cost to register for the primary care physician symposium was $50. Do these writers research anything?  Registration would be anywhere from $500 to over $1000.

-- Those extensions and wig on Kate Mansi were a bit much.

Crossed a line & a line that should never have been crossed. Alexis needs to let Kristina have it, verbally, although even if she could work up to it & say it, just blast her, Kristina would just go to Sonny, which may be what we saw in the end of show preview of next day.

Yeah, that's the only way Kristina & Sonny can get their vengeance against Ava.

 

Agreed. 

That "story" where Tracy convinced Lois to "talk right" wasn't really a story at all, just one huge waste of time. The writers have no business writing things that lame. At least it's over. 

Fans had said that Josh said in an interview that they taped Thanksgiving scenes. If so, where the heck were they?

Yeah, I do love that we always have sets...something actually got about Frank's production. But I also miss the longer scenes we had under PM. But I have also enjoyed how much the actor/actresses are eating up their scenes and giving them depth in spite of the quick scenes. Especially last week.

 

It's the love of Eileen Davidson.  

 

But awww thank you for this.  

Hahahaha. Happy Friday!!

I want Scotty on GH, too, but I wish they would write for him effectively. That hasn't been the case in years.

As the longest-running character on GH, debuting in 1965, I think he deserves a place on the canvas. (I know there are people who don't care about such things.)

The character of Julie on DAYS also debuted in 1965, but more than likely Scotty began appearing on GH before November of that year, which is when DAYS was launched.)

For me, part of the joy and comfort of soaps is watching characters whom we have known for years/decades. Newer viewers (well, newer compared to me) have told me that older characters are irrelevant to today's audiences and could easily be discarded, but I want to see people like Scotty Baldwin, Jill Foster, Julie Williams, Maggie Horton, etc. on screen.

While soaps cannot be top-heavy with dozens of characters over 60 (bringing in fresh blood has always been important), I truly believe that even youngsters in the audience enjoy seeing the vets. Alice Horton, Lila Quartermaine, Bert Bauer, Katherine Chancellor: younger viewers loved them as much as we, the oldtimers, did.

If Leslie Charleson or Denise Alexander are ever up to appearing on GH again, I'd happily accept them in any capacity.

Seeing Rachel Ames as Audrey Hardy again (I know this is dreaming in Technicolor) would make me ugly cry.

    • I’m hoping to start getting to know Vernon better this month. He’s really only been a bunch of noble and good tropes so far. I don’t want him to be taken down the way Ted has been, but it seems he was a long-running Senator and no matter what party you are, lasting longer than twenty years means you’re looking out for you (and not who you’re supposed to be looking out for) most of all. I want to get to know both Vernon and Anita beyond their Dupree posturing. Clifton Davis can sleepwalk handling the kind of material Christopher Bernau and David Lewis handled and I’d like to see more than just a saint.
    • I thought Emily/Hal was a really interesting pairing. And I think KMH played that version of Emily very well! It might not have been what people wanted from Emily, and the writing got pretty gross at the end, but I thought she embodied that character effectively.
    • Don't know if this exactly fits here, but it is connected: Does this abandoned building look familiar? It is one of those explorer videos - and the outside may look VERY familiar if one watched GH in the '70s and '80s!

    • So, I have been in the hospital all week. I am close to being up to date on my soaps. Now I have to go to the Infusion Ctr daily to get IV antibiotics, for 6 weeks. I am frankly exhausted. A hospital is no place to be when you're sick. Hooked up to machines that go beep beep beep all day & night long. Someone wakes you up every hour on the hour for something, either to stick you with needles or to take your gosh-awful blood pressure for the umpteenth time. So, you don't get any sleep. Now I have a central line, upper right chest. After they "installed" it, I said, I am now Borg. They just stared at me. Apparently scifi is not general knowledge. What happened? I have an infection inside my big toe right foot & it burned the skin on my foot. The burned skin is already better. It was like a bad sunburn. The infection inside the toe is the issue. Oral antibiotics won't even get its attention. So, IV antibiotics plus time.

        As Salem bids farewell to John Black on Monday, the "Days" family and fans say a final goodbye to Drake Hogestyn.   From his time as a young man playing baseball in the minor leagues for the New York Yankees to his almost four-decade run as John Black, Drake always did his best. And, while becoming a soap opera icon, he spent almost 40 years at "Days" telling the best stories and taking the younger cast under his wing to make sure they would do their best as well. Thank you, Drake, for the legacy you have left for everyone at "Days." The impact you made on the cast, crew and fans will never be forgotten...and that's a fact.
    • I found an interview with Joseph Breen (Will Jeffries) where he mentions that Reva was put in a coma so Zimmer could go to Hollywood to do a pilot (OMG, if ONLY it had been picked up, LOL) and that Sonni and Josh and Will became a popular with the audience while she was out of commission.  If you want to read the whole thing: https://www.authorsden.com/visit/viewarticle.asp?id=47394 Breen was known for being very candid in interviews, I wish I could find more of them. I seem to recall he made a couple of snarky comments about Zimmer, implying she was not above acting like a diva. Sounded to me like he had a lot of respect for Forbes (who went on to have a very strong and varied career after GL). 
    • I was so confused why Devon was prying into Nicks love life and then it clicked and I remembered they’re brother-in-laws. Shows how little I pay attention to this show anymore. I was like uh? Do these two even know each other this well?     
    • The Bell soaps, B&B and Y&R: cannot watch. If I went by the last time I did I would have to give them both D- but I really don't think it counts when you're not a daily watcher.  DAYS: B+ (Now this is with the knowledge that for years I have given this show a D- because I've been a fan for too long to give it the F it deserved.) GH: A+ (With Korte driving this bus to me the show is so much better! IMO we just had the best NB in so many years I cannot count!) BTG: A solid (Things I love, a few I do not, nothing I hate, still find it in general remarkable.) As always, thanks for doing this thread. I count it. I always look for it & I always post. 
    • Okay, I continue to maintain that what is so good about this particular reveal followed by umbrella storyline is that you can see & understand many different points of view where there is not one bad guy or one 100% right person.  About your stated opinion, that Lois & Gloria did the right thing, you know that this was technically an illegal adoption? For it to have been legal the father, if known, would have to have been informed & have signed off on terminating his own paternal rights. And, of course, it is clear how many people they lied to.  Personally I feel like Lois is going to take the biggest "public" blame with Lulu a close second in the blame category. I am looking forward to a tongue lashing I hope Brook Lynn gives to Gloria. I continue to be more than annoyed with Dante. First his attitude toward Gio with regards to Rocco & a drinking game & its results. Second his attitude toward Lulu. Meanwhile enjoying the show every day!
    • Lois and Gloria did the right thing I feel knowing it was Camila that raised Gio has BL feeling some jealousy No one is saying that Camila was a bad mother to Gio I believe it will be Gio saying that Camila was great to him, thanking Lois and Gloria to get BL to see truth
