I can't believe I actually enjoyed today's Sonny scenes. Ric Hearst really does bring out the best in all his scene partners!

Sonny’s reaction when the rescued dogs rushed into his house was the most authentic take Mo’s delivered in years.

I’m so used to hating Jon Lindstrom on BTG that I’m having a hard time watching him back as Kevin.

Ric is determined to make me be okay with Sonny damnit 😡

This genuinely feels like character assassination for Dante. I can’t imagine there’s a single fan that’s behind how he’s acting about Gio. It’s so over the top and we’re still no closer to Lulu and Dante reuniting.

It’s actually ridiculous to see Ric with his natural hair color and Sonny with a fresh shoe polish dye job.

GH even has a bathroom set for the Brown Dog bar. The other soaps are truly put to shame by the sets GH has.

He’s my problem with Martin. For whatever reason, Michael Knight is not generating any heat with anyone as far as romantic relationships. You have Alexis, Ric, and Diane’s wig as lawyers and Molly as an ADA. If you want a lawyer who is funny and brings some scheming to the table Scott Baldwin is there ready to use. I do not understand this at all.

I feel like, for whatever BTS reasons, the show doesn't want to use Kin Shriner anymore, and so Martin has basically taken Scotty's place. Pretty much every scene Martin has had in the past few months would have had more emotional resonance if it had been played by Scotty (well, assuming the directors could have reined in some of Kin's hammier acting tics). I was really thinking that during the various scenes where Martin pops up to be supportive of his insta-sister Laura--if these had been Laura/Scotty scenes, they might have been actually poignant, not just time filler.

Excellent point, @prefab1 !

I adore MEK as an actor and always will, but it hasn't escaped me how that man has always struggled to play someone other than Tad Martin. He really was meant to play him forever.

The show has seemed to have issues with how to use Scotty for a long time now, but even if the show didn't seem to be done with him, they wouldn't be able to use him now anyway as Kin has been (or was in) Florida for some time due to a foot problem and a botched surgery, IIRC.

Due to his depression and the marked decline in writing quality, I don't even think MEK was able to play Tad for those last 10-15 years. He seems more checked in now, but Martin isn't up to anything as a character (and any romances they have hinted at for Martin, like with Tracy, are nonstarters).

Now that Martin doesn’t have a KFC accent, he doesn’t bother me. And it doesn’t feel like MEK is playing Tad. It also helps he looks significantly better than he did those last years as Tad. I actually forget he’s now playing Babe’s uncle and not stepfather mainly because I try to block out Babe and Krystal from my memory.
