Wednesday was another good one. This week has been very strong overall. Leslie has definitely carried it! I do wonder what her end game is. I can't get over how fearless she is and these mind games she plays. I'm used to villains doing whatever they can to hide their secrets but she is basically taunting everyone. Will Jacob end up putting the pieces together or be the typical soap egg head cop? We shall see....

I loved the scenes with Dani and Chelsea. Karla really shines when she is put in scenes with her daughters. I didn't expect it to work based on the ages but she comes off very believable as their mother. I also love how much she clearly cares for them and loves them. The way she immediately pivoted to focus on Chelsea's needs and making sure she knew she was loved and accepted was so heartwarming. As much as Bill wanted to be in the mix, I can't see him doing the same. 

I still remain shocked that this week has finally made me feel empathetic for Doofy. I hope that this is truly the end for him and Ashley and that they pivot somewhere else for him. He is still a terrible actor but he is more bearable in scenes with other people.

Hm. I just realized that Dani/Andre feel like the main B plot this week. And I'm not at all complaining about that. I just figured it would be Doug/Joey/Vanessa storyline, but there is one last week in this month so perhaps that is just going to be a C plot until next week.

Nicole looks great!

Glad it's a Leslie, Eva day and Eva's jacket/top is fire. 

Mona and Shanice are definitely two of the best recurring. Shanice staring at Nicole and Ted in the background listening to their conversation made me laugh. 

Derek is better with Jacob today. Always great to see Jacob.

      Yes, that is what I was asking you!!! Do you think primetime or a movie will snap him up? I always enjoyed the live music on DAYS. In similar fashion I am open to liking the NB although sometimes it disappointed in the effort but this year has been so satisfying.

      Seriously, are there any rootable characters on this show? Are the head writers writing the show so we can hate every one of them? I hate Lulu. The bitch should've stayed in a coma. Willow still looking dumb as hell. I can't wait for Nina's secret of sleeping with Drew to come out. I hate her too.

      Somerset Discussion Thread

      By VelekaCarruthers · Posted

      I don't believe for one minute that Henry was Russell. I watched Somerset from the time Roy Winsor then Robert J. Shaw took over and the only period that was interesting or watchable was when I believe Winifred Wolfe was head or co head and introduced Dale (Ellen affair) and someone was harming/murdering older folks. Then it was terrible. The last six months was a slight improvement over the prior six months but nowhere near Henry quality. I also don't believe P&G would have put him on a competing time slot show.  There is a Russ Kubeck born in 1952 from Connecticut but he would have likely been too young to get a head writing stint. Plus, Henry wouldn't have chosen that name as an alias. Look at his Wikipedia page for all the aliases he used.  The real Russ may have been the 1952 Russ's father and used his middle name. Also I believe Kubeck may have been a name changed from Kupecky or Kubecky.  Many changed their names during the Wars etc.

      Nu-Ted looks like he was playing dress up today in that overgrown Blazer. He really is just not for me.

      I just got home from work and will take a look at today's show in a bit. However, I was thinking about Silk Press Sheila and wondering if she would try to suck up to Mona... and thought to myself only someone suffering from delulu would try to suck up to Mona (Jan, I sort of understood why she tried).. and seeing that SPS is just delulu enough to suck to Mona makes me chuckle. I understand that Derek/Ashley are not end game (just like how on B & B when it started that Brooke/Dave were not end game)... but the show is going about this coupling in all the wrong ways.  Since the show seems to operate from a place of misandry, the way they're writing this Derek/Ashley conflict makes Ashley the bad one. I would have had the conflict rooted in two things: 1) Andre/Ashley's continued friendship.. which would have made Dani a bit jealous if she came across the two chatting and continued to make Derek left out/jealous 2) Derek/Hayley had good chemistry in terms of rapport so I would have had a couple of more scenes of the two running into one another out and about.  Perhaps she and Caroline could have been having a work lunch at Orphey Jean's.. and Derek comes in to get an order for his fellow crew.. and the two have a brief chat.  Maybe establish the two running into one another at Uptown while she waits for Bill and he waits for Ashley and/or Jacob.   And eventually Naomi or Jacob come across the two talking and they alert Ashley. That way the two would a legit argument over their jealousy over the others platonic interaction with someone of the opposite sex.   Just my two cents... and it would give Hayley something to do outside her continual 'honeymoon' with Bill.

      YES to all of this! I have seen some fans refer to this as having either low stakes or no stakes & I think the stakes are & have been HUGE!!! I feel so for Gio right now & I'm sure he thinks everyone knows & feels angry, confused & betrayed. The list of people who are going to be mad at Lois is long. The list of people who are going to be mad at Lulu, not as long, but, exists likely. And, Gio did such a good job!! What in the world was Lois thinking would be accomplished by getting Brook Lynn to leave the premises NOW?!!  "Ladies & gentlemen, I'm going to do something I've never done before. I'm going to dedicate this to my parents - Brook Lynn Quartermaine & Dante Falconieri. Two people who didn't want me. They didn't claim me. They gave me away & lied to me my entire life." - Gio Palmieri, GH, 5-22-25

      I am really bugged by the exterior shot that is gates & the only reason is because of the gates for Beyond The Gates.

      I'd been pretty sure for months that they were going to reveal the big Gio secret during the Nurses' Ball, but the way they did it was pretty spectacular and exceeded my expectations. Good on the writers for not rushing this and instead giving us months worth of scenes that show off Gio's charm and great chemistry with the Qs, which made his devastated reaction today really mean something. Especially on a show with a cast as large as GH, we need time to build an emotional connection with a new character. I just hope they continue playing all the beats of this storyline for the next few weeks, because this reveal has huge repercussions for a whole bunch of characters and should lead to tons of organic conflict between them. I can't wait to see what Tracy will do when she finds out that Lulu was responsible for this reveal.
