Overall, a good week though. Does that (scarily) make ER the stronger writer? 

Just one question, who is ER? If you're talking GH HWs, don't you mean EK?

Oh, absolute. A true case of multiple evils, adding in Frank Valentini & Nathan Varni, both of whom should be removed from their present positions.

Indeed.

Cool. Easy error to make. Liz THEE historian, huh?!!

It seem like he might be Trina's new love interest to me, but they rarely played them together and lost the potential for organic conflict with them on different sides of Sonny vs Ava with his loyalty and history to Sonny and her history and friendship to Ava. But I do wonder if that was really the original plan. I would be curious. 

I wish they’d put him in Trina’s orbit. Then we’d get a Gio/Trina/Kai triangle

I am not sure there ever was a plan for Gio.  It really seems like GM was hired to appear and play at the wedding and Frank liked him.   

Sounds similar to what happened with Dev 😂

Isn't that what she's 'known' for?

I wouldn't mind. I liked that one week where there was an episode of Gio/Trina talking and there was a spark. And then the episode before that was a scene where Trina/Kai were talking...no writing gimmicks...and they had a little spark too. So I feel it's possible and I would love to see Trina in the middle for a change.

Absolutely! That & her supposed love for both Jason & also for Carly.

I happen to be all in for a triangle of those three!

It's what Chris Van Etten does best: repeat shït. That's why I always preferred Dan O'Connor in that writing "team".

Dan must have been the one that liked Kristina Wagner too, because they had Felicia way more in the mix on several stories before Korte/Mulcahey took over.

Mazza auditioned for another role (which he did not get) so Frank Valentini created the role of Gio so he could hire him, anyway.

This is fairly common practice on soaps over the decades, though. The problem here is Frank hires everyone and fires almost no one.

It's also obvious in early press notices they intended to try him with Trina, then opted out because they were uncomfortable or thought he would be more of a prize than they wanted to actually give the Black girl. Ironically they do have chemistry now. I like GM but the BLQ/Dante crap is the least of what interests me about him, and they have once again hired a talented person to largely stand around lining the canvas and adding to the cast glut.

Cam has returned! Cam is a better man than Dex. He is better man than Spencer. He is certainly better to have around than Gio. He needs to stay. The show has suffered without him.

Joss betrayed Cam. The show is now showing that Cam is happy with Gretchen while Joss is suffering.

I wish William Lipton was available more. Love the family scenes. He is always gold with Rebecca Herbst. Lipton also has Brotherly chemistry with  Aiden (Colin Cassidy) and there is a nice family feel with Lucky. 

Jordan and Isaiah’s face cards are unmatched. My mom (who no longer watches soaps these days) was swooning over them.

Cameron Mathison really works as a heel. So much time wasted trying to sell him as a good guy.

Loved seeing William Lipton again.

Mathison was born to play Drew as the sleezeball Quartermaine. I despised him as Ryan who was so overly self righteous all the time, but I’m such a fan of him as Drew since the affair first started with Nina and moved to Willow. He also has perfect antagonistic chemistry with SB as Jason. This show loves killing people off but I’m hoping they resist with Drew.

Jordan and Isaiah will make a beautiful couple. The way the Isaiah actor lights up the second he sees Jordan is just perfect. He has it so bad for her.

Don't jinx him. He's doing so well. 

I don't know what you are talking about. 😜 

Lol this makes me SO angry 😂😂. I will regularly bring it up once a month at least with my Sonny hate as I continue my efforts to get @carolineg to hate Sonny too 😂😂
