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.

    • Loved Valerie Mahaffey as crazy as a box of frogs Sandy Cooper on Wings. 2025 needs to chill out already. May Ms. Mahaffey rest in peace.
    • She was great on there. And Wings. And so many shows. I don't feel like we get those character actors as much now.
    • Cady did have a southern accent as Dixie in her first few years playing the character... but it started to minimize the longer she played the character (which tracks because my aunt had a heavy southern accent when married my uncle and years living in the north has softened it quite a bit). Her initial stint playing Rosanna was partly due to mirroring the previous actress and eventually developing her own take on the character. And the thing about her take as Kelly on Y & R was that she was too sedate when she first took over playing the role (she was supposed to play a woman that had recently lost her child.. and trying to keep things together) and then went OTT crazy and didn't play it well.    And I don't care to remember her attempt at playing Jennifer on Days. I think this Pamela character is the first time she's playing a character from the start and I think she's like a kid at a candy store.  She's having so much fun trying different things... and I hope eventually she decides to settle on a more consistent character for Pamela (perhaps her love of accents is a character trait based on something traumatic that happened to her in the past maybe).
    • That's sad. I remember her mostly from ER and the shortlived, yet very funny, sitcom The Powers That Be.
    • As always loved seeing Ric with Liz. I hope the show forever keeps them in each others orbit even if it’s just platonic. I’m sure she’s going to cut him out when she finds out he’s blackmailing Alexis though. So darn.
    • I have to be honest I’m really struggling with this show. I love everything with Eva/Leslie/Ted/Nicole/Kat and enjoy Dani and Bill’s shenanigans (I’m on the Hayley needs to be recast train now tho), Chelsea is second to Kat as my favorite Dupree grandkid and I loved her coming out to her mom. The show was on a truly great run with the big Leslie and Eva reveal at Nicole and Ted’s anniversary party and the fall out has still been good even with the unnecessary Ted recast and them making Leslie kind of dumb by exposing herself too much unnecessarily. The real problem for me started when they rotated back to way too damn much screen time for Derek/Ashley/Andre (if anyone should have been up first for a recast it was these three IMO). They tried way too hard to drum up drama between Ashley and Derek and the actors were clearly fighting for their mediocre charisma less acting lives to make it work but none of it landed, just horrible. Naomi and Jacob and this weird homeless woman story are also BORING. I can see where its potentially going but IDGAF at all, my only hope for them is that they’re building a triangle with Naomi/Jacob/Kat because Jacob and Kat have stronger chemistry together than their current love interests (Eva is the only one who can make the awful Tomas work). Martin, his secret and still cringe worthy acting got kind of interesting with Bill dropping hints to Smitty but they completely lost me with that lil fakeout scene at the country club. The lame “teenagers” (air quotes because Samantha is no Bianca Lawson and never beating the black Andrea Zuckerman allegations) can get off my screen as well. Joey creeping on Vanessa is grossing me out at this point, I actually quite like Vanessa and Doug now but Joey falls totally flat as a villain and someone we’re supposed to buy Vanessa being enamored with. I’m glad they’ve finally set up something interesting for Vernon and Anita to do with this girl band reunion instead of Anita wringing her hands and telling us she feels darkness coming and Vernon giving a civil rights speech every episode but yeah… People who’ve posted with me for other shows know I’m not one for fast forwarding or hate watching either, if I find a majority of a show is not working I usually just quit but because of what this show represents for me as a Black male soap fan I really want to stick it out. Its just become a challenge lately. I saw Guza has left the building and I REALLY hope we hear about some more BTS changes. The additions of Tracy Thompson and Jamie Giddens don’t exactly inspire a lot of confidence from me tho. Honestly praying hard for a new EP to replace JHC, a lot of the stuff that annoyed about her PC and AMC runs has started to match up here. I’m giving the show through the Summer to rectify some things but IDK how long I can hold on tbh. Its been a struggle to even finish some of these episodes lately.
    • I agree. I liked the episode but it felt jarring to suddenly return to a bunch of plots that had been put on pause since the Nurses' Ball started. Although I did like Laura popping in at the end to tell Alexis that millions of dollars have suddenly disappeared from Ace's trust fund. One set of scenes that made me feel optimistic for the next few months were between Sofia Mattsson and Rory Gibson. While Rory has been good as a darker, colder Michael this week, I was worried that he might not have much range. But he really warmed up with Mattsson, and I thought that (for the first time) Michael and Sasha had some genuine chemistry.
    • Next week is going to be such a sad time... I just feel it based on what was shown today. I'm wondering if the whole John being bandaged thing being a throwback to how he first arrived on the show was a Ron C idea since it just seems as though this would be something he would come up with.  If so, it's good that Cwikly/Ford are in charge with the implementing of the idea instead of him. Just a delayed thought from the Ciara scenes earlier in the week, or last week.. and how she had an odd way of dressing/acting.  I chuckle because little Ciara did say that she admired and wanted to be just like Kristen when she grew up.  So the fact that her outfit choices are so odd/off beat and her manner is a bit OTT just fits.. especially since Eileen's Kristen had an odd sense of fashion and that frantic OTT undertone to her delivery. With that said, a part of me wonders how Eileen's Kristen would have handled the scenes being done this week in regards to John's situation.   
    • My god the smirking was back in full force today. He almost started smiling after Johnny mentioned he wouldn’t be there if EJ hadn’t raped Sami. I will say I did like seeing him with Dee as they’ve always had great chemistry.    They really are giving a lot of false hope with John getting better. I wish they hadn’t done that. Monday is going to be devastating. I really liked all the characters mixing and mingling today.  Nu-Rachel is still too sweet for me. Loved all the flashbacks. Everyone looked so young. Really enjoyed Brady’s scenes with John today.
