The writing for Trina/Kai is just awful and clearly giving them a bone is just box-checking from FV and these writers with little to no real thought behind it. 

I hope Tabyana gets on her agent to start finding her better work in streaming or film. GH is not cutting it.

Well, generally speaking, another good day on GH, but ... 

But #1 it is so hard to see Carly not in full-on MamaBear role!!! I get it, she realizes that the situation with Michael is potentially so dire that she cannot take any chances, so she is risk-averse for now & that is not the Carly we wish we were seeing but she has to just suck it up & live with it, so we do, too. 

But #2, has Chase lost his mind? There were so many different things he could have said to Willow, but, no, he just totally & completely dropped the ball. Willow was apparently apart from Drew for enough time that she actually reached an introductory level of self-awareness & had some insight into the decisions she's made & why, which was nothing short of remarkable. And, instead of reinforcing that or even leading her to the next step in thought, he basically just nodded & asked her to pass the butter. And, by that I mean said nothing of any consequence, at all. 

No number at all because it's so obvious & such a throwaway: Kai, in GH, in bed, in a room, with a dislocated shoulder? Everyone is right about this particular bit of stupidity. There's no way he'd be hospitalized!

But #3, Nina is saying things we never thought we'd hear her say. Sure, she is jealous of Drew & angry because he's winning with Willow & she's not. But, still, it's so odd to hear Nina make what is basically a decency argument with Willow & to suggest that there are lines that one should not cross! We've known Nina for years, and this is new.

Tracy was the highlight of the episode. I’m gonna need her to just keep reading all of these idiots. It was mentioned I believe in the Leslie thread by @DRW50. But I really love how the Quartermaines yell at them for keeping Michael out of their lives when Sonny is literally a mobster and Jason a hitman, when the most I ever saw the Q’s do in the 2000’s was argue comically or get killed off.

Willow finally having a moment away from Drew to actually do some introspection was actually shocking and welcoming. A nice change from what the characters been doing.

Drew really can’t be long for this world. Too many people don’t even see him as romantically interested in Willow but more as a creep trying to control her. Had to love Tracy all but telling Sonny to off him yesterday

Just as some of us are watching very hopefully for Sonny & cardiac arrest, I am very much afraid we are going to be disappointed. But, in like fashion, I think that you Drew Murder dreamers are also going to feel that same disappointment. Wouldn't it be a kick in the teeth if no one is going to die & we continue to be stuck with them, and I guess them with us. After all, they might wish for a better audience. Nyah, that's just crazy talk. As fans go, we are primo.

    • Despite most of John’s family not being in this episode, I like that the ripple effects of his death are still being felt across Salem.  Welcome back, Jack and Jennifer!  I really enjoyed their scenes with Julie. Little family moments like that on soaps are always a good thing. And I agree, Julie. As great as it is to see everybody, I wish it was for a better occasion too.  I’m glad that we finally got Tate’s POV regarding John, though his scene with Cat did seem a little random. But I love that Holly rushed to the apartment to comfort him after she found out about John. Despite everything and despite the chemistry that they have with other characters, I like the two of them together. Btw, is Cat looking so closely at the pictures of John and Sami going to mean something in the future? Her date with Chad seemed a little unnecessary though.  I also do like the idea of Ari and Holly being friends, mostly because of the mess that it could lead to with Doug III. Tying that mess together with Tate, Sophia, the baby and the guy stalking Doug III could all be pretty good. And yeah, we really should’ve seen Ari talking to Will about John. Hopefully, they have scenes together coming up. And also, Doug III still needs someone much better to confide in about his problems  Speaking of that someone, we’re really lucky that Ron was sent packing before John’s death was written because y’all know that if Ron was writing it, Leo would’ve been front and center in all of this, and comforting his “bestie” Marlena

      His scenes with Jack were unnecessary too. Honestly, Jack should be beating the holy hell out of him for what he did to Gwen.  And, I’m really interested in the mystery of who Gabi heard EJ arguing with the night he was shot. I don’t think it was Johnny. 
    • Remember when we used to talk about homoerotic subtext on GH? Like this Bromance? Sonny & Jason! I remain somewhat amazed that ABC used it as a promo https://www.instagram.com/p/DH3fKzjJyy4/  
    • To be honest, moving Murder, She Wrote to Thursdays probably did seem like a good attempt at counterprogramming (they did the same thing with some success with Diagnosis: Murder the next season). They had hoped it would appeal to a different audience to the Friends juggernaut and wouldn't crash in the way it did. They also programmed Mary Tyler Moore's new show after it, so they clearly went with a "vibe" for the evening. With that said, I think MSW just have that end of the weekend vibe. Something you'd cosy up on Sunday evening while preparing for a new dreaded week.

    • I recall someone suggesting that football coaches have the same kind of situation where people who are clearly NOT good at the job get rehired over & over. I don't begin to know enough about that sport to evaluate this as a truth or not. But, I do hate how much damage it has accounted for in soaps.
    • Today’s episode was the first time Sasha’s been interesting since the one-night stand with Michael. 
    • She had two Hannah Swensen movies and a Christmas movie released since this was recorded in September (?). So yeah, I'd assume Alison was just booked and busy when these episodes were recorded sadly. 
    • But why is everybody telling the attempted murderer that they have evidence of her attempting to murder someone lol is Leslie gonna target Andre or Shanice now?  I did kinda feel bad for Hayley though. It makes me think something may happen as a result of her realizing that Dani is always going to be a part of her and Bill’s lives

    • She and Alec Baldwin were on The Doctors together. I hope you post your thoughts on the book as you have been on the show. I've thought about giving Zimmer's book a read for a while, but I've never gotten around to it.
