BTG is fresh because of the newness

Dani is too much sometimes

I don't care about Ashley and Derrick

Martin is too controlling of Smitty

Some episodes of late seem like filler

I have the edit of yesterday. Under 7 minutes, all of Carly, some of Valentin & Brennan. Sonny, Jason & Anna were all in Carly's room so they're included. If you want the file it's in  my Drobox so easy. Otherwise, to view, my usual video hosting site, Clip name:

GH 3-19-25 Carly Poisoned

 

I might add: a whole bunch of money spent

Right now? No, I don't think so. But, I have been wondering if this story long-term might mean an eventual exit for her, ya know? 

Today was Bit*h day! Brook Lynn toward Ma & Chase toward Lulu!!! WOW

So, speaking of Lulu, anyone else thinking that the Gatehouse is empty?

Unpopular opinion, I guess, but I think the show has been really good this week. A number of plots the show has taken time to set up--Brook Lynn and Dante's baby, Valentin and Brennan's Spy Vs. Spy thing--are finally paying off. And I think the show has been good about balancing its traditional strength--cliffhangery, plot-driven action stuff where someone pulls a gun on someone else, or someone ends up in the hospital when they're poisoned with Polonium--with quieter, character-driven moments.

The show is using a lot of its veteran actresses and their history really well. Tracy is the obvious case, but we also got a great scene with Felicia today talking about her own tumultuous time with Frisco in an attempt to convince Carly to dump Brennan. And even though Laura seemed a little too empathetic towards Valentin yesterday, I did love how she brought up her own past with Luke and Lucky to talk about the psychological tolll of a life on the run. 

It's definitely not perfect, and sometimes plot points take precedence over character logic. As someone pointed out upthread, it makes no sense that Sonny wouldn't just shoot Valentin. But I do think GH is doing a lot right, and I'm enjoying it more than I have in years and years.

The only thing consistent about GH right now is how inconsistent and subpar it is. Sorry, but that is the truth; you can tell where Elizabeth Korte & Chris Van Etten are sitting there going "do this right now!" and changing things up as time moves along, and you can tell where Korte's favouritism is coming out to play (i.e., Carly), et al. I would dare say yes, GH has the strongest company of actors, but that is what you get when your [overstuffed] cast is filled with daytime veterans, whereas BTG has a more new-to-daytime cast of actors.

Most of BTG this week has been filler to me

I don't care about Derrick Ashley

Dani needs to grow up

Haley is on an island to herself

They hire Cady McClain a 3 time Emmy winner and have her be a talking too

Oh, you know I rag on GH all the time and agree with most of your statements.  I find BTG just much more uneven in acting and episode quality.  It's still finding its footing so I am hopeful and rooting for it.

Way to just spoil that casting for people who don't follow spoilers.

So long as you're hopeful AND rooting for it, then we're good. Otherwise, Gina is coming for your Brenda.

    • I've enjoyed Vernon but I wouldn't be opposed to learning more about his life beyond his political work. What kind of family does he come from? Does he have any siblings? I feel like that could be an interesting thing to look at.
    • GH:       A- DAYS:   A- BTG:     B- B&B:     F Y&R:     F
    • I've always said, Robert Newman does not get enough credit for the popularity of Josh/Reva. Had he stayed in '91, and had years to build other relationships before Kim returned, I'm not sure we'd have been stuck with "always".
    • Bizarrely, while I didn't see it, I distinctly remember my younger sister telling me. We were walking to the store, and at the top of the hill she let out "Roger raped Holly", and I swear I remember it echoing for what seemed like forever. She would've been five at the time.  I know,,,which I find extraordinary. I have toyed with the idea of watching Another World for Maeve, Kathleen Widdoes and Beverlee. But watching Vanessa call Emma Snyder "momma" kinda weirded me out. LOL. I believe that's what I read in the recaps from the time as well. I meant, I couldn't quite believe that the audience wouldn't understand that a woman preparing to go to her engagement party  was raped. I know that on ATWT John raped Kim while they were married, resulting in Andy, but I think they shied away from calling that marital rape.
    • I have my fingers crossed for a baby to be named Monica Michelle & called Monica. And, yes, I do realize that is not equal to having her onscreen but, like you said & of course a recast is unthinkable. 
    • I would love to have Monica on screen. Leslie Charleson has died. She played the role for 46 years. Monica should pass as well. No one is going to accept a long-term recast for Monica, no matter how great  the actress they could get.
    • Coming into June...   It just occurred to me that seeing Carter/Hope engaged that there was something missing. Oh, yeah! DAPHNE. I missed a few episodes, but she left, right? So is Ridge going to be the spoiler for Carter/Hope now? I felt that Daphne/Carter/Hope had more legs to it. But I guess we will see.   I did enjoy that show circling back around to Luna/Will/Electra. Katie was spitting nothing, but truth. Same for Sheila. And it's good to see Luna vs Electra, and they gave off more adversary chemistry this time around versus when they were at Deacon's.    I was happy to see Liam reduced to C plot.
    • To bring over from the May Sweeps Thread from @Chris B   I know the fashions have gotten mixed reviews but I actually like what the new costume designer is putting the cast in. It feels more modern and the more tacky pieces I feel make sense for rich people. They're buying for the brand and the price and we often see celebs in things like this. Especially for a character like Nikki, I feel the more over the top (and tacky), the more realistic it is.   I agree. While it has been hit and miss no question, I have found it fascinating to watch what the costume designer is attempting to do with the various characters and their clothes. Some have been overdue. Some have been fascinating. But (outside of Billy) not boring to watch. I definitely find it more modern as well.   My growing issue has been it's not good that the best reason to watch Y&R as of late has been to see what people are wearing rather than the writing. It feels like a red flag.
    • Haha. The fact that I stopped regularly viewing at the same time and know what you are talking about is chef's kiss.    I'm slowly bingewatching Nurse's Ball Week. But it's slow for me because a lot of the same tics and writing flaws for me that made me throw up my hands is still evident *cough*CVE*cough* Thankfully, there are some things I like also and from a glance in the GH May Thread, it seem like it had a good Sweeps with good fallout. And do I even need to mention Nina finally slapping the taste out of Carly's mouth? See? Regardless of her flaws, I do enjoy Korte-headed episodes over CVE-headed episodes because they always seem to have more emotional resonance to long-time fans.
