Cody overcome one of the most wretched and intensely unpopular introductions I've seen for a new character in quite a while (I still don't know why people were calling him "Truck Nuts"!) to win me over as the easygoing, kind, witty and somewhat himbo-ish stablehand for the Qs. Why they would go back to shít that does not work for this character - presumably because Frank and CVE remember him playing scheming Cutter on OLTL - is beyond me. He can get into capers and stuff, but let's not get stupid.

It is so bad. It shows how little they regard her at this point, too. She could be doing Gio, but that would scandalize people. Or I'd take that secret Ward heir! I don't care! Anything else!

It sucks because he was playing easy charm so well, and it was working.

I have to be honest, I was kind of dreading Michael’s children (and us) being put through a custody war. I was close to dropping the show for awhile because I had my fill of it when the show revolved around fighting for baby Michael for a decade. But the inclusion of Tracy has made it actually watchable. Add to that Drew being pure scum and I was actually entertained.

Hats off to Cynthia Watros- her clear disappointment at Willow running to Drew when she was solving the problem, and General attitude towards him is great. If Nina has to be here, this is a great way to utilize her.

Nailed it about Cody.

This is horrible character regression that makes no sense and does nothing but service bad plot.

Yes, Cody was given a wretched and intensely unpopular introduction, yet over the course of a year, Josh Kelly and GH were able to turn that around. Cody became a character I wanted to keep around.

This turn -- back to being irresponsible and careless and lacking on any level of common sense -- is just awful.

    • I do agree that I wish there was more gay representation in terms of singles. I also had hoped we'd get a Black couple since it was a Black soap and I don't know that we've ever seen that on a US soap.  With that said, it's still early days so I can imagine we'll get that at some point. I am impressed they launched with as much LGBT representation considering how US soaps can be.
    • Thank you. I know we're all supposed to see that BTG is progressive when it comes to queer characters, but it's telling that they won't commit to showcasing gay or bi males who are single and looking. That relationship couldn't be any more traditional. Will we ever get a bedroom scene with Smitty and Martin? I have my doubts.
    • This is a pretty huge thing IMO, but I guess we will see what happens? Can't get any worse then already. 
    • This can be difficult for a soap to depict. So far she's only shown an interest in women. Will a man come into her life? If she commits to a male, there will be  backlash, but if it's women only, them where is the bi/queer aspect? Personally, I would have liked a single gay male on the show dealing with hook ups/relationships etc. Smitty/Martin married with kids is limiting in those terms.
    • Of course, how could I have forgotten those thrilling episodes depicting the fire? Also we had the GCAC rooftop set that came out every Summer. Moving on to Friday's episode. Victor is propped in his chair, answers his cell and tells the caller 'Let him in'. Seconds later Kyle enters. So does Victor have security on the front porch? It would have been better had Victor taken the call, and then said to himself 'Well Kyle, let's see what you have to say'and fade out. Next scene Kyle enters, indicating that the first call was from the Ranch entrance and time had passed . Nit picky but I get frustrated when they do stuff like that.

    • I don't think Chelsea has a true label just yet. She's just finding out she has an interest in women. I think the awkwardness is aligned with the character as we've seen. This is the fool who keeps filming her family when embarrassing things happen and live streaming it. I actually think it's refreshing she isn't just jumping into a relationship  and that they're playing the beats of her trying to figure out who she is.
    • Wow, do I agree with you. Chelsea is coming off as ridiculous. All she does is look for a woman to date while not caring about her business at all. That she's bi is great, but they're not writing her like she's bi. She seems to be lesbian. Yeah, I know -- "no labels." I just don't find the writing for her story to be anything other than awkward.   -- I hope we get some diagnosis finality with Bill's trip to the hospital. I don't want to see these trips to the ER every other day. -- Naomi is going to blame herself for Bill's health problems? GMAB. -- Ashley doesn't read as a real nurse in the slightest. -- Another day, another rinse and repeat conversation with Derek and Ashley. YAWN. -- Kat is making mistakes, but she's fun to watch and listen to, regardless. -- I still think the Joey/Vanessa/Doug gambling story sucks. I know Doug is deeply in debt, but I don't like him acting this meek and submissive.  -- I'm not sure what Joey's plan was from the beginning, or why he had to seduce Vanessa at all to get his way. I'm not sure what Vanessa ever saw in Joey -- why doesn't he give her the ick? -- I'm fine with a story where Doug and Vanessa take out Joey.  -- The fades to commercials were pretty bad today.
