It's bad. So bad. Time for Vanessa Marcil to agree to a six-month stint, (s/o @carolineg) to push Eva LaRue's Natalia out and to escort Maurice Benard's Sonny off-canvas, for good.

As a #RAVA lover, I appreciate their banter. Rick Hearst & Maura West have insane chemistry. That kiss had been lingering since Christmastime, so I'm happy we [finally] got it. Hearst is West's best on-air chemistry since Michael Park.

Working Vanessa to death for a short run again 20 years after the first time they did it and drove her away isn't the answer. Give her a contract with the breaks and potential outs they lavish upon James Patrick Stuart and leave it at that. Easy. She can shore up a lot of this show on a long-term basis.

I am catching up since I'm finally back in L.A. but I will say at least LNL2 still have it while the story is pure boilerplate. I'd rather they were investigating literally anything more interesting. Same goes for Alexa as Lulu - the energy is there for her and it's great, but why sideline her at Deception and have her obsessing over that mutant?

I think this is who Lulu has always been. Abrasive, obsessive. You could argue they are just writing her in service to their pets, but I think it does make sense with Lulu's history.  They at least they seem to have her in the right place with her relationships, if not her job (she isn't doing enough with Laura but I have never found any of Laura's relationships especially interesting, aside from the one with Lesley). 

Lucky is the return where they truly seem to have no interest. 

Maura West is an interesting actress for me because I loved her early work as Carly but after she came back, the show put the character through so much trash, I felt like she had to put on a shield to get through it. And the same has been true for Ava, which has led to a very artificial, performative sheen in a lot of her work. This hasn't been helped by a long string of flat-to-outright-bad leading men. I do think she works well with Rick Hearst. The long break from acting seemed to benefit Rick because while he was always a good performer, sometimes you could see all over his face how constipating the material he was given was (not just on GH, but through his soap career, maybe aside from getting to play a monster on Y&R). He doesn't look as pinched now and just has a real glow. If he stays, I hope that can last.

Pre-empted.

West had some hope with Tyler Christopher & Nick Stabile in their iterations of Nik Cassadine, but then got saddled with "he tries" Marcus Coloma for too long. Hearst is the first true potential pairing I feel like she's had in forever in daytime. And I am here for it.

So, I know tons of GH fans who ALL called it that today Tracy would announce an all points ban on Drew's presence in the presence of Wiley & Amelia - and so it happened!!!

Carly was very self aware today. I was impressed

I was also impressed by Willow going head to head with Tracy. Willow seemed to have that spark back, the same spark that she had when she beat Nelle's ass. Too bad she can't have that spark in scenes with her trashy sister in law.

Sidwell just needs to go away. GH does not need another Cyrus.

It was nice not to hear her screaming, although, she should stick to destroying her own hotel room decor (since it's hideous). The hotel in Germany shows what a nice use of colour can do to the sets of GH.

If Cyrus can kill a few more people, whether via Digitalis or otherwise, I'll be happy. And Carlo Rota is someone I actually like a Jenz Sidwell. He's charismatic, even if the character is giving Cyrus canvas replacement. But giving him Wyndemere seems to be setting him up for a bit more story.

      B&B: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Maxim · Posted

      It's shocking to see Steffy look down on anyone. She was the new generation HO for years. I mean... she was nasty and using sex to seduce married-engaged-in-relationship-men all the time. She was embracing it fully. Bradley was accenting on the fact that Taylor's daughter had become Brooke 2. I remember how disgusting it was when she was using Hope's virginity to her advantage and offering to f-ck the guys that wanted Hope. It was ABSURDLY nasty.  Then couple of years ago Bradley decided we should forget about it and made Steffy BECOME her grandmother. IN AN INSTANT. There was no build up to it. Which aged the f-ck out the character and made her unbearable. Because it's one thing to see an actual matriarch, older woman doing these things, being a moral judge... but it's complete joke to see the ex-ho acting like this. Ex-ho that is still incredibly young and has no right acting like she is better that anyone or... a moral JUDGE. Steffy and Hope's personalities got swapped!!! That's the irony of it. So any time these gang-style of fans come attacking Hope... for acting like a "slut"... I pinch myself - their HEROINE Steffy was doing this HARCORE. Are these people oblivious or just pretending not to remember. How can you stan a moral judge... that attacks "sluts" and also stan the same type of behavior you are attacking... years ago. How does this happen. But I repeat myself at this point.  I agree with everything you said 100000 percent. It's the truth. At least in my eyes.

      The Amanda pregnancy was a blunder. Amanda and Sam were AW's best bet for a starcrossed supercouple. Young love destined to be turn apart by outside forces and misunderstandings . Battling for years to finally get together. Instead AW had them married and pregnant within a year.

      It is his fatal flaw.  He's smart, cute, and loyal.  But, a total chauvinist pig.  We're looking through a 2025 lens, but April's from a wealthy family, (that she recently met), she should be allowed to contribute to her own home. Especially if Draper is going to work for the Crime Commission, rather than joining Mike's private law firm (did I get that part correct?) How about smoking while the baby is in the room?  It all looks nuts by current standards. Raven was married to Geraldine's son Kevin, but had an affair with Logan (whom Geraldine also considered like a son). Raven got pregnant by Logan, then Kevin died (long story short).  The part you need to know is that Raven was bored being a mother to Jamey (check out my member name).  So, she starts going out to Elliott's club and leaving Jamey with April.  Logan is not happy that Raven keeps leaving their baby all around town.  And thus, Geraldine is not pleased with Raven either.

      There is a time... till the old storyline is cleaning up... where it's still kinda annoying. For me it was. That's a personal opinion. But in 10-20 episodes more... you'll find yourself enthralled. It's not even begun. I'm so glad to hear your reviews! And excited of what's to come for you!

      Carly also has Nikki (Nicholas) with Lawrence. The easiest way to remember Chelsea is to think about how she was buried, stillborn, premature in a swamp and came back to life.  Or you can just remember her running over Bo/Hope's kid Zack.  Kind of ballsy to name her kid Issac if you ask me lol.

      This is my other blind spot -- the children of Bo Brady's past loves.  Melanie:Carly as Chelsea:Billie -- but it is tough to keep them straight I dipped out during the Daniel of our Lives period of the show.

      Yeah.  Let's just move on and talk about Jagger....lol 100% agree on the Sonny situation.  Mostly because I want Sonny to get a murder charge so he can just go live on an island with Brenda. I think Tracy did do a lot to explain Jason's perspective on AJ's murder.  I truly think that's how Jason justifies it in his own head. I don't think he was lying about his feelings.  They are just wrong.

      I will never get over Sonny killing a fed in cold blood and everyone just shrugging when it wasn’t Alexis.    And then last week you had Jason white washing Sonny murdering AJ in cold blood to Gio.

      I thought it was impolite to stare directly at the car crash.  Consider it like polite cocktail chatter while our hosts bicker in the kitchen
