The one thing I've noticed so far on this soap is that a random line/comment seems to be foreshadowing of sorts for future story.

In Week 1: Hayley wondering if people at the law firm liked her, or held it against her that she was marrying the boss while a offhand comment from Mike about Hayley got Bill upset.  Turned out to be foreshadowing the lawsuit story and confirmed Hayley's instincts were correct.

So today's comments from Ted about his lawyer will probably tie Bill and/or Mike into the story with Silk Press Sheila.

Also, Smitty's comments about the influencer story he was going to be doing and mentioning he hoped to talk to Chelsea after the fashion show makes me think her two random scenes of Chelsea's double life with the guy and his partner will probably tie into whatever this new story Smitty is chasing is.

I knew when Shanice last week mentioned Laura and how Eva is just ok compared to Laura.. I knew Laura would be making her way back into the story.

Now that you mentioned it re: Mike. It was there the whooole time!

 

I was thinking it was Bill for sure. But for the first time...I just thought...what if the lawyer was actually TOMAS. It would be another layer to the SilkPress storyline AND the evolving Kat/Eva feud, too. Which now that I typed that...SilkPress did have that scene with Eva about how she didn't like her cozing up to a lawyer. That could be another foreshadowing. I think Mike would be a good choice as well. 

 

Oooo that would be a messy storyline, too. Because what would be more important to Smitty...getting back to the thrill of an expose or protecting the Duprees? Cuz you know Martin would pick on him with an 'I told you so' if he picked the expose over the family. 

 

I find it funny that people were wondering about Laura when Nosy Nurse made that comment. And they wondered about Laura again and she showed up again today.

I would hope that it is inadvertent and just a quirk of the casting rather than an intentional move. And save for the threats Ted isn't much more terrible than Bill so unless Ted actually acts on those threats he is mostly on the same level.

But I will say that casting overall leaned rather fair skinned for the Black characters. That goes with the overall trend for casting Black characters across entertainment though.

Same.

He didn't start off perfect, but the potential was there. He simply needed the time. Something I constantly said, and we know I've been posting since Episode 1. I said when he was good. I said when he was bad. And I know I said my worries about the main plot IS him and how I hope he does improve for that very reason. So many threads hang on him. 

Oh?

It's amazing how much better this show is (for me at least) when Dana, Eva, Nicole, and Ted are featured prominently, and when Ashley, Derek, Andre, and Dani aren't. 

Again, I don't even notice when Ashley and Derek aren't on unless someone calls it out - that's how much I don't care about those characters and have yet to be given a reason to from both the writing and the acting. 

It goes without saying, but Trisha Mann-Grant is a f.ucking STAR. The way she can switch from being casual with her friends in the diner, to being conniving against Ted, to bursting out in tears to hide her ulterior motives is amazing to watch. This is an actress who cares and invests beyond the bare minimum. If the Daytime Emmy's even mean anything anymore, she should be a top contender for Supporting Actress next season.

ITA. It could have been that he has two dads, that one of his dads is congressman, or that he's seen as a spoiled rich kid. I am starting to like their family dynamic more though.

ALL OF THIS.

Trisha Mann-Grant is a real delight, and I enjoy every episode she's in. I just hope they don't write her into a corner but find a way to keep her long-term.

Today's episode worked better because we saw some plot movement, family interactions, variety of characters, confrontations and intrigue etc

Martin's acting is improving-thankfully.

What is with Nicole and Febreeze?? It's not like they even show a closeup of the can, so I don't know what they're thinking in terms of product placement.

When they showed Nicole with Febreeze last week, it was more obvious. 
Yesterday Monday it was much less obvious, but on the live broadcast yesterday right after she sprayed, it cut to a Febreeze commercial.

    • I did not care, just clarifying that was the discussion point. If there are ice cream bars in Statesville I am sure there is a full spa
    • Seeing Peter Bergman (Jack) and Melody Thomas Scott (Nikki) act opposite each other really makes me mad that their short-lived reunion in 2012 was just that... short-lived. I've always loved the Jack/Nikki pairing.
    • No.  I recall there was also a mention about how distracting it was EOB's Gwen wasn't wearing nail polish as well.  That it was someone's pet peeve. And, yes, the fact characters can have a manicure in prison is the wildest continuity issue here.
    • Can anyone remember Mary Ellen Stuart's run as Jenny? I'm trying to fill in the cracks for missing stuff that we overlooked.  Bulletpoints:  * Dated Ross * Rusty's police partner * Directly responsible for Dinah coming forward about George Stewart (Cam's father)
    • But that's not weird... nail polish is allowed in prisons via commissary. Same with general makeup, haircuts, and hair colouring products.
    • This is DAYS, the show that said you could brainwash anyone with simple kitchen appliances.  An actor's nail polish or lack thereof should be the least of our concerns, lol.
    • It was not that she wasn't wearing nail polish, it is that she managed to get a manicure in prison
    • "We're Knot Done Yet": the name of this lovely podcast AND what JVA tells her plastic surgeon at every appointment. In other news, Michele Lee is reminding me more and more of my old music teacher from elementary school, and I couldn't STAND that bitch.
    • I apologize if this has been covered already, but does anyone know whether Douglas Marland was HW'ing by that point?  If he was, then I see what he meant when he said (in so many words) that he had inherited a mess when he started at GH.  Aside from Alan and Monica, none of that material seems very promising.  The story with Mark Dante and the Corbins is the wrong kind of predictable (y'know, the kind where you know what's going to happen, but you just don't give a crap?), the stuff with Scotty and Laura is cute but toothless, I don't know WHAT the hell Gina and Steve Carlson's character are arguing about and Rick Webber has to be the dumbest man alive not to see David Hamilton twirling his invisible moustache over how to make a killing off Lamont Corbin's declining health.  (By the way, "LAMONT CORBIN"?  What is this, "The Shadow"?  And "Corbin Limited" sounds like some jive I'd hear over on Y&R.) In a way, it's kind of like watching today's GH, right down to the dialogue that's serviceable and pushes plot along but says nothing about the characters' inner lives.
    • It absolutely was; the narrative was there, and they followed it promptly. Maybe that's back when women had babies at young ages?!?!?
