So if Chelsea is really going to quit modeling and go work in this fashion design company with her cousin Kat... I wonder when we're going to see Dani hire some new models? I mean, sooner or later there's going to be some sort of casting call for a new character that's going to be a model or something, right? 

Also I won't be surprised if eventually at some point down the line we're going to find out that Joey has some lost lost kids somewhere.

I've been working at preparing a conference so haven't been able to watch since Tuesday, so how annoying to sit down and see that Wednesday's episode was nearly entirely pre-empted here for Trump's inane/insane tariff crapfest.  And then so were the first ten minutes of Thursday's and Friday's (I'm sure others in this thread on the West coast have complained about this...)

I admit, having not been a daily soap viewer in ten+ years I forgot about the annoyance of news pre-emptions when you're a soap fan.  In the past, I usually could get around it because the soaps I watched were simulcast here on Canadian stations which wouldn't have the pre-emption, or I could watch the streaming feed, but with Gates, I can only watch it via its Seattle feed (have any Canadian stations picked it up for simulcast?) and all the sties streaming it are region blocked.

Still, it doesn't seem like I missed much on Wednesday (I wasn't looking forward to seeing how Derek's My Dinner with Andre went.)

Like I said before, Andre/Dani are the soap couple I didn't know I needed.

I haven't come across any site that lists songs played on the show. Wishful thinking, but maybe a soundtrack eventually released.

A decent breakdown from Ron Carlivati and a good script from Danielle Paige.  I've felt that Paige's scripts have leaned more on the literary without always succeeding in adapting it to the soap opera realm.  Today's episode from her was pretty good.

Hayley/Derek 1:1 was a surprise and from what I learned... Hayley knew Ashley/Derek, but they knew Naomi longer then Hayley.  I think the backstory was that Jacob and Derek were friends pre-Naomi/Ashley... and once the two couples came together, Hayley was slowly brought into the friendship mix.

I'm glad that Bill wasn't faking his hand going numb and downplayed it for Naomi. This will come into play later on.. either at an event or during the actual court case.

Good Chelsea/Bill and Naomi/Dani scenes.  Dani was written as almost human and actually cares about someone other then herself.

Shanice is the only bright spot in the Ashley/Derek/Andre story thus far.

Vanessa/Joey do have chemistry.. and I wonder where things will go with them.  I also wonder if next week will be their turn at taking a break from being featured at all.

Thank gosh Silk Press Sheila will be back next week in some capacity.  I'm hoping Dani will eventually take a week off so we can actually enjoy the other characters.

Well, it's not easy thinking of established soap actresses that are still with us. Not that it matters now since it's established that Joey's mother's dead.

But as long as we're throwing names out there---Maeve Kinkead.

 At some point  will there  be a reset like Santa Barbara did with the earthquake, Texas when the Corringtons were dropped and Sunset Beach when they had a week off to retool?

We've already had a wedding and a recast so when will see-

The first pregnancy?

First onscreen divorce?

First death?

First murder?

First new contract player?

First original character written out?

First new regular set?

Derek/Hayley was a surprise. And I didn't mind it at all. 

I'm still not sure about this whole hospital documentary thing though. There had to have been another way to build up Andre/Ashley.

As for the episode as a whole, I appreciate that Ron Carlivati seems to be on his best behavior at BTG.

More cast integration is always a plus, despite it being Hayley with Frankenstein's monster. The spoilers for next week indicating

      GH: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      I don't think Josh Swickard's voice is horrible or anything, but the show makes it seem like he could just casually take up a singing career if he felt like it because he's that talented.  He's not.  I am not sure he would even be able to be a backup singer on Broadway or in most bands. I thought DZ was the worst of all the dancers, but adorably so.  You could tell this wasn't in DZ's wheelhouse and it was fun.  On the very light-hearted end of the Nurses Ball shindig.  Gio Mazza continues to impress.  What a find.  It's a shame it took the show an entire year to give him any meaty material.  While Joss was off playing spy games on air way too long. The violin smashing was perfectly in character with someone related to Sonny lol.  Nature vs Nurture.  The Corinthos side won.

      Today was excellent soap. I had no problem with GM’s performance. I watch soaps for big dramatic blowups like that. What a great cliffhanger. God I’m so ready for all of Drew’s misdeeds to come out. He is so damn slimy. Also I hope absolutely no one is there for Willow’s dumb ass when this all blows up. As everyone has pointed out Tracy would never be stupid enough to just leave ketamine sitting in her car. PCPD continues to be complete morons.

      Well, I'll say this much...I've been gone for months and my first tune in...nice to see FOINE Isaiah as the first image I saw.   And I'm actually impressed by how much Drew is running/scheming/manipulating everything and everyone in sight. Cuz he's teamed up with TRACY now? TRACY??? Who he was slapsticky feuding with months ago. And seems to have a countermove for every person against him now...which now takes up almost all the whole canvas vs just a limited part of it months ago.    He really has risen to...mmmm not quite Stefano Dimera evil...yet...but Mitch Laurence manipulation?? That's quite a leap in three months. Again...impressed.

        Josh Swickard has a more than passable voice. His performance of "Smooth Criminal" a few years ago showed he has talent. But damn, this wasn't it. That song (a Swickard original?) was lame and awful, and the accompaniment by 3 non-professional dancers was...a choice. The entire thing was pretty cringe and a big YIKES. As for Dominic Zamprogna, I thought he was the BEST of the 3 dancers. JK and SW were stuck onstage without a net.   -- The Gio reveal was great soap. The Nurses Ball backdrop was the perfect place for that to happen, and reason enough for the NB to exist. I'll take that kind of cliffhanger any day of the week.     Lots of comments here about GM getting too loud and dramatic, but I like the choice, and I think it worked. It played against type. Gio was onstage performing, and he gave us a real performance.      We seem to love all the soap traditions being brought back to life on BTG, but when GH does it with the violin smashing, then it's too much? That scene gave us a moment.   For me, I can put aside how many rootable characters are on a soap when the drama is good -- and I think we're getting good drama. And isn't Gio rootable? Emma? Liz? Dante was rootable until he went on a "Destroy Gio" tour the past couple weeks. Besides, it depends on your definition of "rootable." I think Tracy is rootable even though she is deeply flawed and makes a lot of mistakes.

      Same. I didn't want to jump in until the writing change, but I got busy. I've been doing other things, but I've been really enjoying DAYS today so far. And grateful my internet is going great. And highlight today was seeing Dr. Marlena Evans for the first time in years. Oh, how I've missed her. Still am not ready for John though. I know I'm going to be a mess.

        GH...I was feeling nostalgic for the Nurses Ball and I liked the promo for it. So I figured I can push down my dislike of The Writer Who Shall Not Be Named enough to tune in. For a week at least. lol. It seems like...from the few comments I choose to look at cuz...no spoilers but that one hehe...it is going to be a good but fun event. And let's be real...we know I want to see the Carly slap...looooong time coming.

Nate and Audra at Society talking-but wait Kyle and Claire arrive, so they have someone else to talk to for the entire episode. Amanda at CL talking to Devon and Abby for the entire episode.  The Young in the Restaurants continues...

      And it also could've played into Dani's characterization as well, with her being the middle child.

      The violin smash was a little bit much though  But he blew me away in the rest of his scenes. He played the anger and devastation so well. GM is definitely as talented an actor as he is a musician. In terms of acting, this really was like his first chance to shine and he shined pretty brightly. And on his birthday too no less lol maybe he can be the next Nicholas Chavez. He definitely acted circles around another younger actor, who's subpar AF but is constantly shoved down our throats like she's Meryl Streep  I can't wait for tomorrow to see what happens for him, for Dante/Brook Lynn, for Lois, Lulu, Emma, etc. Hopefully, Lulu gets a slap or a punch, at least. And yeah, can this show stop f*cking mentioning Stone, please? After what they did to Jagger, they have no right to even speak his name anymore
