I cannot WAIT until someone ends Drew.  Of course, with GH being GH, they'll chicken out in the end and say it was Cyrus.  Nevertheless....!

Drew getting Tracy arrested was unexpected. Have the Quartetmaines done that before? Chase talking to Tracy was annoying. I have no investment in him so it was just a waste.

Sidwell really doesn’t have a care in the world does he?

Liked Willow coming to her senses without Drew hovering over her.

Patrick Mulcahey basically put them together I believe.

It started off last April with Stella haranguing Tracy into having a medical physical and while Tracy waited for her appointment she and Stella had coffee and ended up talking

Tracy later had another conversation with Stella after Gregory died.

Then a conversation at Gregory's memorial park bench (on location in that park GH uses each summer) when Stella's former love Marcus passed away (he'd been on the show years earlier - around 2018 - involved in a storyline where his wife who had alzheimer's fell in love with Sonny's dad Mike who also had alzheimer's)

And finally another conversation at Gregory's bench when Stella and Tracy talked about Cody.

Yeah, now seeing it, I stand by what I said yesterday. Thursday was the weakest episode of the batch of episodes this week. But I feel for me, like I said before, that part of it no doubt are the actors, but part of it is who is the HW at the top of the credits. Love her or hate her, the 'historian' just tends to have scenes that really resonate. I also don't feel like it is not completely implausible most of the time. And I almost always like the intriguing ways the stories go which usually seem full of possibilities. 

 

I mentioned earlier that I loved that they played the beat of Cody vs Drew. It felt like for a few episodes, they were going to build that into something. Only for it to turn into nothing. So good to see them back into each other's face...even if it's only to add another suspect in the 'murder mystery'. lol. Bonus for adding Jordan into the mix for that as well. It goes without saying that Drew as a prick works for me and CM is running with it. Definitely hitting love to hate out of just pure hate. 

 

Lulu as BLQ's assistant. Even I kinda was taken aback at her wanting to work at Deception. Memories of JMB's Lulu. I was hoping that she would go back to being a reporter which worked wonders for Lulu and I felt AB could pull it off, too. But I did like that that very fact (Lulu as a reporter) was brought up on screen. And there is so much potential for a Lulu/Maxie/BLQ triangle so to speak. Lulu was sleep for 4 years and Maxie has a new BFF who happens to be Lulu's nemesis. A nemesis who has grown. Meanwhile, Lulu is 4 years behind. There is so much potential for organic drama there. 

 

Mmmmm Ric/Ava. But hahaha at Ric taking her money. I liked seeing some non-whiny Ava. I'm not sure if I felt that Ric had a point, though. I mean...everyone else is doing emergency custody fights. Why not Ava? 

 

Watching Sidwell wander about town had me wondering today...has he even run into anyone who has reason to arrest him yet? Jason? Anna? Lucky? Because it feels like he's just hanging around waiting for Robert and Holly to come back for February Sweeps with no endgame in sight.

 

And awww at Willow reaching some kind of compromise with Carly and Sonny. And those scenes with Carly and Michael were good. But everything with that as Portia explained and Carly tried to get them on her side to send Michael to Germany was pretty good.

 

I enjoyed Lucas and Brad had a moment. 

 

Highlight...shocking no one was Tracy. Outside of the last few seconds of the episode, Tracy was nothing, but cunning, paying off Thursday's end of episode where she promised she would be like that. And Tracy was flawless. She dragged Chase, checked BLQ, and then took on Drew and the PoPo. And all I could do was think STFU DREW...WHY IS HE EVEN HERE? UGH. LOL. Love the twist of the kids flying the coop. I bet she let Jason run off with them. 

 

Can't wait until next week to find out the truth.

Well, Cyrus might be gone long before that so...

Same. I was looking forward to BOTH jobs because they fit for both of them and have plenty of storyline possibilities.

Yes, that's my theory too...On Thursday's episode Tracy kept Carly away from both Monica and the kids with excuses so I think that after their emotional rapprochement on Wednesday, Jason and Tracy colluded to move the kids overnight (Thursday's episode was a new day) and possibly Monica too (with the unseen but still around Yuri as a decoy guarding her door).

I didn't even think of that! re: Thursday being new day. It was just the conviction in how JE played it. And it definitely did not feel like stalling. I can't wait to see how it turns out next week. 

 

Yeah it's been the writing on the wall since Sidwell popped back up as FV's flavor of the month/villain du jour. I still feel they are stalling his exit a la Peter August because, while the storyline pieces are right there and coming together nicely, no one still has catch on that Cyrus killed Sam, Dex, and (almost) Michael. Even the new story beat of Joss now being a potential target and Liz as Cyrus bait has been lost by mid-week when they should be flowing naturally around the Michael drama. It's a solid B plot at this point that could be rotating in and out of the Michael drama/fallout which was great A plot.

Hold up, if Alexis is disbarred, how does she still have a law practice with Diane?

I dont get how Tracy can bar Willow from her kids. Why is this an issue? Why didnt Willow just take those kids and leave? I didnt security or anything preventing that from happening other than Tracey saying no.

LOL...not Tracy basically telling Sonny to take out Drew. Like for real, why hasnt that happened yet?

      In all fairness, during the 90s (post Rex's death) Kay was often rarely onscreen except for visiting Nikki on the Newman ranch and it would have sense that she was BUSY at Chancellor Industries the rest of the time...

      I liked the food poisoning angle on Thursday because I said beforehand that I would be annoyed if Vanessa was not there at her BFF's party. And I loved they already planned ahead in the dialogue. lol.   But watching the scene (and a bit of a rewind), it hit me. Wait is she...??? Ooo gurrrl. lol.

      I'm not at all surprised the 10 lowest-rated episodes are all from Season Seven. Moving The Golden Girls from 9 p.m. to 8 p.m. was foolish.

      As the folklore goes, Love Boat episodes generally had one "heart" story, one "laughs" story, and one "tears" story. I guess Hotel just stuck with "heart" and "tears."

      I thought food poisoning was an odd reason for Vanessa to miss the party.  That's why I appreciate reading everyone's comments and theories on this thread.  Oh!!  It hadn't occurred to me to speculate that she might be pregnant. I figured that she and Doug ate different things.  But pregnancy fits better.  I did think Shanice's dialogue delivery was slightly awkward (unusual for her)... but that would make sense if Shanice knew Vanessa had a pregnancy test but Vanessa said don't tell Doug.  I love all this theorizing/speculating, especially since we have no idea what will happen.

      I want that as well, but given how much I've been playing catch-up during some personal/family drama, it's been background music with very little to hold my interest. Then I saw a spoiler and rolled my eyes.   Very. I guess JG is hitting another of his low points.

      Well...unexpected wiggle room is still wiggle room.   I went back and finally rewatched Friday's episode (along with Thursday's). And God, how those episodes flowed. It did help that Zimmerman did the breakdowns for both so the plot threads were cohesive. I do wonder if she did it today as well. Martin and Tate also of course did good scripts. And I might have to take back my earlier comment about the crowd. While it was not like Nicole's Award Event where I felt there were more extras (and was in the minority on that), I felt this one did not have enough (also in the minority). But on a rewatch, I did like that Production actually did a fairly decent job of covering it up so kudos.    I also wanted to take the moment to say the majority of the week before last (and this past week) were full of cliffhangers. Perhaps not what is used to, but they were there. And I loved that since the majority of said cliffhangers were connected to Silk Press Sheila, it gave an intensity and build to the last week leading to this superb episode that gave us not only an old school soap reveal (complete with moments to let the scenes breathe, but annoyed in how other scenes which were also good did not compare...another sign of knowing when a reveal is great) but, THREE cliffhangers!!! Well-done, Cliffhanger Friday!!!   Ms. Mann and Ms. Michelle were clearly the stars. I've said it once someone mentioned it and I'll say it again...Ambyr just gives so much SMG's version of Kendall on AMC in Eva, and I love that. And that reveal on Silk Press Sheila...WOW. Great to have confirmation that BILL was the lawyer. Even better to see Silk Press interacting with all of the Duprees and not being a bit scared. And yes, I caught that she was preggers at the same time as Nicole. I also caught in the Martin vs Ted scene when he was talking about the timeline was another clue...since we discussed the timeline during Kat's birthday party episodes and how odd it was that Silk Press Sheila would celebrate Eva's birthday if the weeks were off. UNLESS...they're not. I just feel they would not be mentioning it unless SilkPress has a 90s DAYS Sami Trump card incoming. And 90s DAYS Sami Brady ALWAYS had a trump card. So...looking forward to today. lol.    I'm also going to be in the minority about the next thought. I thought Maurice did a good job as Ted in the reveal scenes. Though I do agree that compared to everyone else...even his FOINE doctor friend...he was the weak leak. DD was giving and she was in the background reacting. The Avengers...I mean...the Duprees closing ranks...was great and also showed how in sync the actors were. Naomi being sure Chels was not filming THIS time was a hoot. And I lived for Kat's shade among the mess. I'm happy that we are here at this reveal with OriginalTed since the rumor (marking preemptions) we are a little under two weeks to go before he's out.   I liked the layers. One thing that I like about this show. We usually mention something here and then the show writers have it mentioned either in episode or immediately in the next. The SilkPress/Eva picture last week. Where is Naomi/Vanessa this week of episodes. And they got to it. Well-played. I also like the reveal that Martin knew SilkPress as a kid, calling back to that weird scene with the brownie. I mentioned the Bill-as-Lawyer scene, calling back to Bill/Vernon's first alone scene. The reveal of all of SilkPress's many names. The fact that Andre and Dani continue to grow closer and closer and had a near-miss...something this show knows how to do extremely well for me. Their near-misses built up the drama and story, and I see how much I'm invested when we have them. The whole Silk Press Sheila story being the best example.    I see from a few of the comments some of you all are already thinking about those consequences toward Bill that I was thinking about on Friday.

           And while I did not like the Vanessa/Doug scenes at first view...though I love they followed up on her food poisoning phone call on Thursday...I liked it on second watch. Partly because it gave another hint that Doug has some idea of what Vanessa is doing...if not who.  Partly because I had assumed that Doug got poisoned, too. Seeing it was just Vanessa confused me since I thought they were out at dinner pre-party. That said...I go back to my original thought in that moment. Has Vanessa being having all this sex without protection and we are going to get a WTD with Doug, Diego, and whoever else she has been with? Uh oh?    And I continue to also love how flashbacks are used. Rare do they show a flashback to a prior episode unless it's important so those are well done. And then you have the flashbacks like the one with Bill/Dani that informs the audience. And I loved that green dress. But tbf, I loved the feistiness of her red dress. Andre was not alone in taking her in.    And someone mentioned it the other day and I wanted to echo it. One thing I like about this show that I don't see much in the other soaps to this degree has been that several of the characters have their own personal style for sure, but the men's style really have stood out for me since its started. Ted being a clear example with his turtlenecks and general...for lack of better word at the moment manly...to him. I like that about the men where other men styles on other soaps just blend together.    Looking forward to Kat v Eva, Anita vs Silk Press Sheila, and Nicole vs Ted today.    Did I mention I was happy Clifton was back?

      I’ll take a pass on the lecture, because you've overestimated my concern with your feedback, but thanks for the enthusiasm. Your claims of not wanting to get into an argument over every post are unfortunately voided by your impulsive need to add into discussions that are none of your concern. Finally, you may wish to check the definition of coy, because you've used it incorrectly twice in reference to my writing.  I promise that I do not intend to be coy with you.  Or don't look it up, and just continue to be incorrect, as usual.  I only ask that if you cannot control yourself, please stop tagging me.
