The smart play for Carly would be to bring back A.J. (be it Sean Kanan or someone else) again. But they won't.

It would be great to see AJ with the new Michael.

People have noticed weird marks on Cody’s skin a couple of times now. Are they very slowly laying the groundwork to give him some fatal illness?

No one has really noticed any marks.  Molly threw out a claim about it because she was angry and wanted to upset him.  And it worked, leaving him really freaked out.  Tracy, Kristina, and now a doctor have all told him there's nothing there.

It definitely could be one of those soap tropes where everyone tells Cody nothing is wrong and something is.  I thought it might be a beginning of a con though.

Jeez, can Gio and Emma kiss already?? They’re approaching Sprina levels. 

I am interested in Brook Lynn not being ready to adopt a child yet and the potential conflict that it could cause for her and Chase though. It could be good.

But I’m not sure about this whole “WSB is the worst job ever” thing that Anna was basically saying today. It seems strange to add this feeling into GH after 45 years

But this is the second time it’s happened, remember? There was a strange scene at the pool a couple of months ago in which Sasha noticed a weird spot on his thigh. It’s just odd that they’ve gone there twice.

Monday's episode highlight was definitely the Cody-Ava-Ric-Elizabeth-Molly-Kristina-Alexis story.  Cody brings such light and levity to the show that's been sorely missing.  Cody & Tracy (when they're on) are cute, too, but this is the first storyline where Cody as a character is being effectively used finally in a decent storyline.  This scheming romance con is classic soap!  And I love that the side benefit is the Ric-Elizabeth relationship rekindling.

I wonder who "he" is that Britt was speaking with.  I'm loving the Britt resurrection and am glad they're using the character's history so well.

The lowlight of the episode was the boring Brooklyn-Chase-Gio-Emma stuff.  Total drama-free snoozefest about nothing..they need to move that off-screen.  That Gio actor's acting still has not improved.

I would watch Emma/Gio banter for an entire episode rather than watching Britt for 2 mins.  

Britt talking about "Ben" being so big wistfully made me want to throw my remote at the tv.

She has never given a shít about that boy since she lost both Nikolas and Patrick over the entire terrorist scam that led to her carrying the embryo.

Correct.  That child was a means to an end for her.  She hasn't cared about him since this rewrite that she's not an awful person.

@carolineg not us discussing the Alias story and Carly/Brennan only for me to get to the episodes where they try to steal some time alone just as Anna realizes that Joss is a WSB agent. I hollered.

Listen, I checked out after the Australian Lady Jane friend story.  Joss desperately needed to help her. So idiotic. Brennan gave her that cover?  I know Jax isn't real anymore, but that's like the easiest thing in the world for Carly to verify just by calling him lol.  

Honestly, at this point Carly/Brennan seem to talk a lot about the same things over and over and there's zero action.  Why would Carly invite Anna over?

Carly looks dumb.

LOL!! It's so ridiculous. They couldn't come up with something better than that?

It's not even slightly believable Joss would travel halfway around the world in a middle of an internship to see one of her grandma's sick friends.  It's also a lie she could very easily get caught in.  

I can't recall how Jax/Carly left things when Ingo got fired, but I would assume they are cordial enough to discuss their daughter.  Even someone selfish like Carly would call Jax to tell him to check on Joss while she's in Australia since she's clearly worried about her.

This story in general has so many holes lol.
