Loved that Portia called Ava for advice and that she’s told her to call Ric. I enjoy Ava and Trina’s relationship so I’m glad they’ve kept the thread of Portia and Ava as well.

I think they are hoping Tabyana will leave, and if she doesn't, they will just keep diminishing Trina until they can dump her the way they did TJ.

I know Joss is a "legacy" character but the difference in how they handle her compared to Trina is jarring.

I think they see their audience as more along the lines of that woman who went on a racist tirade across soap Twitter last year...and to be honest I'm not entirely sure they are wrong.

I’ve enjoyed the last few episodes with Lulu investigating Martin and stumbling into finding out about Brook Lynn having Dante’s kid as a teen. The hijinks with Maxie and Spinelli these last couple of days sold me lol I love that kind of stuff. The last scenes with Lulu tricking Cody into confirming everything were good as well, I’m still confused why they’re forcing the Molly and Cody pairing when he and Lulu have better chemistry and she actually makes him likable. It would add another layer of drama to this paternity reveal story too but whatever. Lulu asking Carly for advice will have me happily tuned in tomorrow as well

Speaking of my favorite I hate that Carly is dating a guy who would use her daughter this way. I wonder how far they will go with this WSB plot, imagine Joss developing a crush on Brennan and she ends up sleeping with him while he’s still with Carly? I have no more investment in Jackly with this recasting so I hope they blow it up as far as possible and give us some decent drama

Danny and Rocco fighting over giving Jason info on Charlotte was a nice set of scenes, I appreciate their continued bond.

Jason and Anna > Jason and Sasha at this point so I like them teaming up to get Charlotte but its so obvious this writing regime uses the same story playbook on repeat. Isn’t this like their 3rd or 4th caper in a year?

Maura West looks amazing every episode she’s in. I enjoyed Portia going to her for advice on being blackmailed by Drew.

Emma and Gio are cool as the generic young couple and I do love seeing Kristina Wagner and Rena Sofer running around the canvas

I knew it would be her!!!

 

Same. As soon as he went and frame Jason on top of all the Joss stuff, that pairing was done. So it is just counting down the clock until he leaves the canvas again.

I know some people were into Carly/Brennan when CM was in the role, but it really was just a whole lot of nothing for months.  A few kisses and a lot flirting, so what?  Carly will get over it.  Perhaps if they were a bit more serious before the role was recast there might have been a chance.   GH was spinning their wheels for months on this pairing and I never invested.  Brennan as a character is useless and unnecessary to begin with.  No loss when he leaves.

It was always a timewaster and so was he, with both actors. I'm glad Chris has a role for a few months but I expected him to be gone by fall and I still do. He gets plenty of work, he'll be fine.

I agree. Just spinning those wheels when they could had had a Carly/Brennan/Anna triangle right there, but that idea became DOA when the writing that made it a possibility (aka writing with nuances) left the building. I admit that I still had a little bit of hope due to the actors' chemistry, but now that things are truly back to 'factory settings...'a total time waster now. 

 

That also makes me think that Lucas/Brad are about to join Terry/Yuri on the backburner or wherever they are at.

I love hte current Molly! I think she was a good find from my short exposure to her. I wish they'd find something for her to do but she feels like what Id have imagined an adult Molly to become

Both Sonny and Carly are stuck in these time-wasting pairings that are moving at a snail's pace.  Neither are viable, but Sonny and Carly will never be backburned like Lucas/Brad or Teri/Yuri, who seem to hang out with TJ in the non-filmed part of town.

I don't dislike current Molly.  I think KV does a good job.  I also would have had no problem letting TJ and Molly leave the show when HP was fired, skipping the whole surrogacy plot, and bringing Molly back at a later date-with KV playing the role.  The multiple Molly recasts and a new Kristina in a short span of time felt like way too much.

    • Loved Valerie Mahaffey as crazy as a box of frogs Sandy Cooper on Wings. 2025 needs to chill out already. May Ms. Mahaffey rest in peace.
    • She was great on there. And Wings. And so many shows. I don't feel like we get those character actors as much now.
    • Cady did have a southern accent as Dixie in her first few years playing the character... but it started to minimize the longer she played the character (which tracks because my aunt had a heavy southern accent when married my uncle and years living in the north has softened it quite a bit). Her initial stint playing Rosanna was partly due to mirroring the previous actress and eventually developing her own take on the character. And the thing about her take as Kelly on Y & R was that she was too sedate when she first took over playing the role (she was supposed to play a woman that had recently lost her child.. and trying to keep things together) and then went OTT crazy and didn't play it well.    And I don't care to remember her attempt at playing Jennifer on Days. I think this Pamela character is the first time she's playing a character from the start and I think she's like a kid at a candy store.  She's having so much fun trying different things... and I hope eventually she decides to settle on a more consistent character for Pamela (perhaps her love of accents is a character trait based on something traumatic that happened to her in the past maybe).
    • That's sad. I remember her mostly from ER and the shortlived, yet very funny, sitcom The Powers That Be.
    • As always loved seeing Ric with Liz. I hope the show forever keeps them in each others orbit even if it’s just platonic. I’m sure she’s going to cut him out when she finds out he’s blackmailing Alexis though. So darn.
    • I have to be honest I’m really struggling with this show. I love everything with Eva/Leslie/Ted/Nicole/Kat and enjoy Dani and Bill’s shenanigans (I’m on the Hayley needs to be recast train now tho), Chelsea is second to Kat as my favorite Dupree grandkid and I loved her coming out to her mom. The show was on a truly great run with the big Leslie and Eva reveal at Nicole and Ted’s anniversary party and the fall out has still been good even with the unnecessary Ted recast and them making Leslie kind of dumb by exposing herself too much unnecessarily. The real problem for me started when they rotated back to way too damn much screen time for Derek/Ashley/Andre (if anyone should have been up first for a recast it was these three IMO). They tried way too hard to drum up drama between Ashley and Derek and the actors were clearly fighting for their mediocre charisma less acting lives to make it work but none of it landed, just horrible. Naomi and Jacob and this weird homeless woman story are also BORING. I can see where its potentially going but IDGAF at all, my only hope for them is that they’re building a triangle with Naomi/Jacob/Kat because Jacob and Kat have stronger chemistry together than their current love interests (Eva is the only one who can make the awful Tomas work). Martin, his secret and still cringe worthy acting got kind of interesting with Bill dropping hints to Smitty but they completely lost me with that lil fakeout scene at the country club. The lame “teenagers” (air quotes because Samantha is no Bianca Lawson and never beating the black Andrea Zuckerman allegations) can get off my screen as well. Joey creeping on Vanessa is grossing me out at this point, I actually quite like Vanessa and Doug now but Joey falls totally flat as a villain and someone we’re supposed to buy Vanessa being enamored with. I’m glad they’ve finally set up something interesting for Vernon and Anita to do with this girl band reunion instead of Anita wringing her hands and telling us she feels darkness coming and Vernon giving a civil rights speech every episode but yeah… People who’ve posted with me for other shows know I’m not one for fast forwarding or hate watching either, if I find a majority of a show is not working I usually just quit but because of what this show represents for me as a Black male soap fan I really want to stick it out. Its just become a challenge lately. I saw Guza has left the building and I REALLY hope we hear about some more BTS changes. The additions of Tracy Thompson and Jamie Giddens don’t exactly inspire a lot of confidence from me tho. Honestly praying hard for a new EP to replace JHC, a lot of the stuff that annoyed about her PC and AMC runs has started to match up here. I’m giving the show through the Summer to rectify some things but IDK how long I can hold on tbh. Its been a struggle to even finish some of these episodes lately.
    • I agree. I liked the episode but it felt jarring to suddenly return to a bunch of plots that had been put on pause since the Nurses' Ball started. Although I did like Laura popping in at the end to tell Alexis that millions of dollars have suddenly disappeared from Ace's trust fund. One set of scenes that made me feel optimistic for the next few months were between Sofia Mattsson and Rory Gibson. While Rory has been good as a darker, colder Michael this week, I was worried that he might not have much range. But he really warmed up with Mattsson, and I thought that (for the first time) Michael and Sasha had some genuine chemistry.
    • Next week is going to be such a sad time... I just feel it based on what was shown today. I'm wondering if the whole John being bandaged thing being a throwback to how he first arrived on the show was a Ron C idea since it just seems as though this would be something he would come up with.  If so, it's good that Cwikly/Ford are in charge with the implementing of the idea instead of him. Just a delayed thought from the Ciara scenes earlier in the week, or last week.. and how she had an odd way of dressing/acting.  I chuckle because little Ciara did say that she admired and wanted to be just like Kristen when she grew up.  So the fact that her outfit choices are so odd/off beat and her manner is a bit OTT just fits.. especially since Eileen's Kristen had an odd sense of fashion and that frantic OTT undertone to her delivery. With that said, a part of me wonders how Eileen's Kristen would have handled the scenes being done this week in regards to John's situation.   
    • My god the smirking was back in full force today. He almost started smiling after Johnny mentioned he wouldn’t be there if EJ hadn’t raped Sami. I will say I did like seeing him with Dee as they’ve always had great chemistry.    They really are giving a lot of false hope with John getting better. I wish they hadn’t done that. Monday is going to be devastating. I really liked all the characters mixing and mingling today.  Nu-Rachel is still too sweet for me. Loved all the flashbacks. Everyone looked so young. Really enjoyed Brady’s scenes with John today.
