No question. Honestly, I don't want him anywhere near the Democratic Party.

As others have said, they're writing Sidwell the same way they write Sonny -- doing criminal, awful things followed by some "heart of gold" act such as loving your gay son unconditionally or giving big money to a good cause. This allows GH to keep villains on the show for a much longer time than necessary, or for forever.

That was my first takeaway when I mentioned they were throwing Natalia under the bus, They've definitely made Natalia look worse. There's no way Eva LaRue can get these scripts and think "They really love my character here at GH."

I gagged, too. It was enough to make me hate the entire dedication. And then Sidwell makes his big move by underwriting the Nurses' Ball.

Is it any wonder why Port Charles is such a destination for violence and criminality? The supposedly good leaders and citizens glorify the worst criminals. I'd make the case that Laura isn't fit to be mayor because of her feelings about Sonny. I wouldn't want her near public office

Never let it be said GH isn't realistic...

Laura has been aiding and abetting "good" criminals for most of her life. 

She's probably just happy for the work, but she must be confused. Nothing about this character has ever made sense.

They don't seem to know what they want with anything, like Tracy now working with Drew after fighting him tooth and nail. This is probably what they should have done all along, as I can believe she'd side with him over Sonny, but it's messy writing.

That's probably true, although as someone said earlier, not much is actually happening. The show just seems completely unsure of where to go or what to do, even as they five episodes a week to fill.

I feel like this is what they're doing by creating lots of storylines but their biggest weakness for years is the inability to properly pace these stories and give resolution. A good example now would be the Gio story which has been simmering for months with very little movement. I went from not caring to being invested to not caring again because of how long it's taking for the secret to be revealed.

One story like that would be fine but it seems like everything moves at this snails pace on GH. They need to do a better job of rotating the stories so everything isn't in that same treading water phase.

When you look at the period between Sweeps, it's as if they tried to maintain a kind of pace where they had a lot of plates spinning in the air & on their fingertips & the whole goal was nothing but to not drop any of those plates. A version of spinning one's wheels. They're not getting anywhere but they give the appearance of a whole lot of activity. I believe it's all about this appearance. At moments they accidentally hit a chord & something resonates but it is a false event.

      The third man is Howie Hofstetter, Bo's friend who helped Hope get out of marrying Larry Welch. I'm holding out for hero… I'll let someone else tell you who the other two are, because it will blow your mind. Poor Bo & Hope had a free destination wedding in England, at a castle, and only the "B" team of Salem was available to attend!
    • Watch it still be more of a classic than what B&B and Y&R would show.
    • It's a repeat. Not sure of the episode # just yet.
    • Aw, I care about Melissa. Hope's OG bff, and I'm talking before the SORAS. #neverforget I think the polite thing to do is just a simple Happy Anniversary, plus heartfelt message, without the mention of specific years. Did Melissa ever interact with Billie or Carly? I'm guessing fake Melissa did with the latter before she left? That picture made me realize I've never really thought about how it was pre-Steve and John existing. And no Roman, or Kayla, or Doug and Julie. Who was Bo's best man? And who are the three people next to him in that picture?
    • Lol.  No one cares about Melissa.  She's a non factor. I do side eye the Billie/Carly years and the multiple divorces, but I still consider John/Marlena's 1986 marriage to be their real marriage even though it's not, so I'll let the whole thing slide with Bo/Hope.  Kristian looks great so when you hear 40 years of marriage you think she was like 11 when she got married.

      Here's the question, let's say you're Melissa, -- Would you be forgiven for not posting about Bo & Hope's anniversary today on social media because you didn't include the number of years that either of them were assumed dead in the last 40 years? Is it rude to Billie and Carly, if the Brady's ignore the time Bo was with them?
    • I am no Bo/Hope fan girl, but I think the ages were about 18/22.  It was more Doug finding Hope in a comprising position with Bo that gave him a heart attack lol.
    • Never forget, as we celebrate the 40th anniversary of Bo and Hope, that their age gap was so wide it gave OG Doug a heart attack.
    • Doug can legally order drinks and has since he arrived so I assume he's like 22 or 23.  A little too old to be creeping on Holly, but they are all graduating or graduated (Ari) so it's not the worst.
    • I just think with high schoolers, you have to establish the age of their romantic interest.  Otherwise, it can get really creepy.  If Doug was 19-20, I would've enjoyed his poetry/books discussion with Holly because on paper, it was actually pretty good.
