Yeah… the frat boy brawl was so cliche it wasn’t even funny. And a little unnecessary too. I mean, what was the point of making Dex’s stabbing a mystery, right after it was revealed that Cyrus killed Sam? But whatevs. 

And, I don’t like Curtis being so easily manipulated by Michael. He’s a lot smarter than that.

No character changes more with whoever is writing the show than Cyrus. The scab writers were redeeming him. Mulcahey turned him into a frightened old man and then completely dropped him (probably the best way to handle this mess of a character). The new writers bring him back and turn him into this murdering bad guy. Maybe it will be revealed that, like Heather, he had hip replacement surgery too..

That Cyrus is the murderer is disappointing; it's so cliche and obvious. It should have been more of a mystery and have more to do with Sam's history or the mob. You know if Guza were writing, he would have had one of the many kids on this show be the culprit.

I saw. I hollered. 

Ummm no. I think the scab writers played Cyrus as more of a gray character and to JK's strengths. It was them that revealed to the audience that Cyrus was totally faking his conversion to the audience even as he was feeling a little (but not too much) conflicted about his actions. Shame all the writers after that have forgotten that plot point.

 

But hey...the scab writers were the ones that officially got Sprina together and treated them like an actual couple, right? So...

Nothing against Susan Lucci or Erica Kane or even Pine Valley but the idea of bringing her on the show instead of just a mention of her on the phone is, if you ask me, one of the worst ideas I've heard in about a year. Also no offense intended to the poster of said idea. Just one person's opinion.

This happens on soaps a fair amount. I think it's just a tribute, although maybe part is down to Frank just wanting to brag about having access to AMC characters. 

A shame they never do anything with Loving characters, although I wouldn't want to hear about Gwyn's poisoned hip.

Makes you wonder. They went all in on OLTL characters for a bit, now it's shifted to AMC actors/characters. I'm sure they have some data behind the scenes for the reasoning.

I can tell you that I (as an old AMC viewer) haven't watched a soap since 2013. That was the online version by Prospect Park. But, I am watching GH now. I like Alexa Havins a lot. 

Also, why does almost every female on GH have the same hair color? The blonde with roots showing...

    • Ah okay, thats what I thought. I was hoping I missed the announcement somewhere. Thanks for the clarification.
    • A new day in Salem… and a new day for Days.  I like the way everybody found out and absorbed the news about John’s death, and how they all eventually found their way to Marlena’s to offer their condolences. I’m not particularly sure why they waited until the next day to tell everybody but I don’t really mind it.  We finally got Roman’s perspective! His scenes with Kayla were one of the best parts of today. I’m glad that Roman is thankful for everything that John did for his kids. I agree with posters who said that he should’ve had a scene like this with John, but I’m happy we got this at least.  Julie was used very well today too. She’s definitely the best person for Marlena to have scenes with at the moment. Hopefully, Julie continues to be there for her. And yes, I totally agree with Marlena and Belle sending EJ away when he came to the apartment. I’m curious to see what’s going to happen to his and Belle’s relationship in the aftermath of all this. And, while I enjoyed most of Brady and Kristen’s scenes, I still think the ship has sailed for them. Hopefully, the aftermath of John’s death causes Brady to finally end this thing with her once and for all.  And, I see a lot of people were wearing some kind of shade of purple today.

    • Wow, I love that current and former actors are participating in this. I barely recognize Staci Greason! She looks fine, just very different. But I will be happy to hear anecdotes from her. I shipped RoJohn and Isabella hard back in the day, and I sobbed buckets in my dorm room at college when Izzy B passed. Honestly, I'm interested in everyone's stories. Drake seemed like he was well loved among the cast.
    • When she first appeared, I was sure she was setting Tyrell up for a prank. She was too much of a manic pixie dream girl- I wasn't surprised Tyrell also became suspicious. Now I'm not so sure. If Jessica genuinely likes Tyrell, it seems like a missed opportunity to not have started her out as a bully, then we see her gradually catch feelings for Tyrell.  The McBrides are definitely the "C" family of BTG. They always get last priority. There have been a few times where the Doug/Vanessa/Joey characters reference off screen conversations which seem too important to not show us. Like when Doug thanked Joey for giving him extra time to pay off the loan. When did that happen? Or when we abruptly moved from Vanessa/Joey at Uptown to Vanessa/Doug in the hotel room. The McBrides don't even have their own set - even though Vanessa is a realtor. It's a shame because I am a fan of the characters and actors.

      I am also adjusting to KR as Ted but I feel that AM and MJ had way more chemistry as father and daughter than AM and KR. We saw Eva dream of having a real relationship with MJ's version of Ted for months so it's a bit of a bummer not to have that payoff with the original actor except for those scenes in MJ's last episode.  Something I noticed about Eva today is how she takes genuine delight in being a schemer. As badly as she wants to be a Richardson, she still has so much of her mom in her. It was jarring seeing her earnestly promise to steer clear of Leslie in her scene with Ted, then immediately switch attitudes when her mom showed up.  I'm very surprised with how quickly the accident story has been moving along. I was sure that it would be months if not years before people figured out it was Leslie on the motorcycle, not to mention responsible for the potassium overdose. I'm looking forward to seeing how MVJ and Guza avoid writing Leslie into a corner.  Finally, I have been loving the Articulettes story. Bonita Brisker was just the right amount of OTT - remember Sharon is supposed to be even more angry than Tracy is. If Sharon didn't come in swinging, people would say she fell flat. The way Sharon and Tracy describe the breakup is so Supremes-meet-Original Recipe Destiny's Child. I get the sense that MVJ is re-writing the Return to Love Tour as a roman a clef, and I love it. I'm looking forward to finding out what the secret they share is. If Dante Green is as shady as Berry Gordy was, it's something dark. If/when they go through with the reunion, I expect Dante to show up and claim to own the Articulettes trademark in a Lou Pearlman-esque twist. 
    • Other than hanging out with Liz, all of Lucky's stories have been stalled out or dropped; the relationship with his son; his wanderlust. He hasn't been involved in any of the action/adventure or con artist stuff. I don't think he's even had a scene with Sidwell since the latter came to town. He's a real after thought. I doubt he's long for the show.
