Thank you. So much this. He tried for the ugly cry so I can't hate on that. And he should have more POV. It's part of the reason that I've been enjoying the rift between him and Molly because he's finally allowed to have one. The problem has been sadly that it is not shown enough. But it IS there.

 

Exactly! That was why I went s8it, s8it, s8it watching the Lulu/Lucky scenes yesterday. It dawned on me how many people she knew have died. She has a loooooooooooooooot to catch up on. 

Mmmmmm CarJack....

Not as good as the spoil of riches that was Monday's episode, but I liked it outside of the unnecessary Sonny/Natalia scenes. 

 

I felt the Lucky/Lulu reunion scenes were giving. I do agree with the minority that the brother/sister connection isn't quite there yet. But there was chemistry. They just need to find their banter (which I felt they were on the verge of getting there) and I feel they will. Other than the abruptness after Lulu found out about Luke where they were sitting down and drinking...cuz it went from high drama to low key too quick...I was completely absorbed into their scenes. So much so that when Luke's name came up, it hit me how much Lulu doesn't know. So yes, I did go '[!@#$%^&*], [!@#$%^&*], [!@#$%^&*]' cuz it hit me...Luke is dead. Bobbie is dead. She doesn't know about Val and Charlotte yet. And I love that they took their time before she found out about Sam. Again...PLAYING...THE...BEATS. Girl is going to be overwhelm easy.

 

Speaking of girls...GET HIM, LAURA!!! If I can't get the more organic Laura vs Sonny, I'll take those scenes yesterday. I was just saying on Monday how I don't see Laura not using all her forces AND the kitchen sink to find Lulu...and her first piece of dialogue was EXACTLY that. Well-done. And then to see Cyrus in handcuffs and Laura calling him out. Perfection. Let that mama bear out, Laura!!! She (like Maxie) was looking fierce in that red. Meanwhile, I loved Anna as her henchwoman. ANNNND a restraining order, too for what he did? Please let it stick so Laura can have a storyline!!!

 

Hm. Frank Valentini can't get Valentin and Charlotte back quick enough RME. I take it they will be the NEXT adventure going forward. Cuz I completely went 'ugh' at Anna calling Jason as if she couldn't find them herself.

 

Love the Jason/Carly/Danny. And yes, the Danny actor was more hits than misses in his scenes. And darn it if he did not try. I take it he has heard the criticism and is stepping up to them though I still feel it's his face structure. But I will take an actor trying over an actor just phoning it in any day. And yep. Carly was just there. And SB continue to sell it.

 

Surprisingly, I liked that they were playing the beat between Molly and Ric, but I was not feeling it at the same time. And I giggled at the 2012 journal Molly was reading. It turns out...yes...back in 2012 that was exactly what Molly thought when she first met TJ. How cute. 

 

Heheh. Oh, Maxie. Loved her with Dante. And I loved she was trying her best not to make a B-line for her BFF. I can't wait for her to see Lulu. And Lulu to become good friends with James, too.

 

Did I mention how much I'm not here for Sonny and Natalia? lol. Completely zone out during their scenes.

Better out of town than dead. That's for sure.

 

Hehe. The thing that really drew me to ATWT. And the fox that was Holden.

I have a feeling that the number of fans Natalia has is a negative number. I think she's as unpopular as Laurel was on AMC & that is saying quite a lot. 

I felt good about JJ's tenure as Lucky now beginning with his getting outraged over Cyrus interfering with Lulu's care & I haven't stopped yet. I thought he & Alexa were better than average together. 

 

At first I was shocked he was in cuffs but then delighted. Serves him right!

 

Totally there for the Jarly scene with Danny. He needed someone to talk to about feeling jealous of his bro' & Carly is a perfect choice.  So is Jason, of course, that goes without saying. I think Jason is sizing up to be a fine dad. 

I was pleased that Molly told him her whole opinion & not just that he succeeded in making her think it was a tragic accident, which is in fact what it was. Even though Ava did grab Kristina's arm, there was no ill intent behind it.

 

I got a kick out of her wanting to know how far down the list she is!! 

You, me, every one I know who watches GH cannot figure out how long we're going to have to put up with Natalia taking up space on the Port Charles canvas. 

TJ wouldn't seem to be in danger of dying. Grief, anger, bitterness, yes, but those are not known to be fatal!

Moving on to today the Laura/Lulu moment was so precious & special. Also loved, "Uh, who  is Ace?" and how upset NuLulu is still about Luke/Dad & how Spencer's news hit her. I guess Carly will end up telling her about Bobbie. Now anticipating NuLulu's scenes with Maxie & with Tracy.

    • The storyline April and Draper are involved in during the summer/autumn of 1979 seems fairly "benign" but soon turns very serious.  April has a VERY intrusive, wealthy mother (Margo Huntington Dorn).  Margo knows that April and Draper (who've recently had a miscarriage and are theoretically never going to be able to conceive another baby) want to buy a house.  Margo hoodwinks them into buying a house they can't afford.  The house is listed at $100,000 (about $400,000 in today's dollars).  Margo pays the first $35,000 and leads Draper to believe the asking price of the house is $65,000 instead of $100,000.  If Draper finds out his meddling mother-in-law paid 1/3 of the cost of the home and tricked him, he'll be mad as hell.   Meanwhile, Draper has received a job offer from a prestigious New York law firm.  Margo pulls some strings and has the senior partner in the firm rescind the offer, to keep April in Monticello.  If Draper finds out about THAT, he'll be even angrier with Margo than he will be about the house trickery.  All of that is "bubbling under the surface" in the fall of 1979 but will be the next major story, as everything begins to spiral out of control.  
    • It felt weird and out of place.  I get. While I agree with those on here that he's gotten better, it's still really bad. I'm not seeing the "good" acting some see...but I'll give him a B for being better than when he first started. There's potential. I'll leave it at that. 
    • It's like watching paint dry at a slow-ass pace. It's bad acting. Entirely. Excellent? With Claybon? Never. Ever.

    • Ah! Good to hear. Isn't it especially odd to think that house fictionally exists not far from the Karrs?  Or, that it was designed non-fictionally by the same person who designed April's place?
    • Good to know I'm not the only one who noticed that. Strange and awkward, and I don't know what they're doing with those fades.   -- Finally, had to laugh at how many Emmys this board passed out today.

    • Not unless they live in an apartment complex.

    • That was bad. Product placement is fine, but not here, not now. Besides, no one carries their damn detergent to the living room.   Completely and utterly disagree. I thought Brandon Claybon was excellent today -- maybe his best performance since the show started. No recast needed.   Not unpopular with me. That didn't work. The montage was good, but 5 minutes of Amazing Grace? With all those verses? No. What kind of family breaks into a loud version of Amazing Grace after what just happened??? None. Anita's lecture to Leslie was great. Ending the show -- a really good episode with crackling dialogue -- like that was a mistake.  
    • Today, was a fantastic episode. I loved everything about, including Ainta singing, Amazing Grace. I love the family dynamic of the Dupree's so much. They remind me of my own family at times. Martin & Smitty have come leaps and bounds from where they  started. I genuinely felt a connection between them I can't wait to watch it deepen. Dana/Leslie/Sherry/Ana is a piece of work. Her speech at the Dupree's about her "concern" for Eva and then locking her out of their apartment??? She is pure evil, but I love it. I can't wait to see where the Eva/Kat story goes. There's so much potential there. As for Ted, I need to see Keith Robinson in the role before giving my true critique of Maurice Johnson.
    • I don't recall that we ever saw the exterior of the Madison house.  BUT the interior is definitely Mission Revival.  It has a wrought-iron staircase, and all the doorways & corridors have archways.  I watched a few old episodes over the weekend from that period and really noticed for the first time how uniquely Mission Revival the set is.  
    • I know Daphnee's back hurts, because she was carrying Maurice through those scenes! Still not loving the idea of replacing the actor, but he was giving very little.  Brandon's scenes with Leslie did not hit the way they were supposed to because I was busting out laughing.  One thing I enjoy about this soap is how it plays with the nuance of good and evil. Kat vs Eva and Anita vs Leslie. There are some things that Kat and Anita said that makes it hard to root for them and how the Duprees can be family over everything to a fault. It almost makes them come across as entitled and unlikely at times. And while what Lesile and Eva have done is wrong in different ways, you can see that hurt and sympathize.  Now, what I don't get is what Lesile thought she was doing expecting the Duprees to accept Eva with open arms. Honey, Eva is a Richardson not a Dupree. In the Dupree world, she's Ted's problem unless they choose otherwise, because there ain't a drop of Dupree blood coursing throught her veins (unless we learn otherwise in some twist). Ted is lucky if they don't disown his ass.
