Danny or scout is the shooter and Michael knows it is my guess

My guess: Drew set himself up to be shot.

Drew setting it up himself is the kind of goofball shít this show would do to make sure he remains the equivalent of a Scooby Doo villain. Still one of the strongest organic elements of the show, but they keep leaning into him doing pure forced nonsense like hoarding the Quartermaine belongings! Like he's the Grinch!

Exactly. Because, who is Frank willing to expend in order to avenge Drew's shooting and provide payoff for one of these shitty stories for once? No one. And even if Willow or someone else turns out to be the shooter, and Drew didn't have a hand in it, will they even serve a day in jail? No. They won't. Because, as with everything else that happens on this godforsaken show, this entire story is pointless.

Hell, if anything, sending the culprit to prison will just give Frank an excuse to hire 20 more actors! Hope y'all have been missing Michael Easton something fierce, 'cuz you're gonna LOVE him next year when he returns (again!) as the warden (with Roger Howarth, Laurence Lau and John Loprieno all clocking in as inmates)!

I wouldn't mind seeing John and Larry again, although not with the humiliation walk of many vets who are brought in.

That reminds me - firing Larry was one of the first things Frank did when he took over OLTL, although I assume it wasn't personal and more just Larry playing one of the worst characters in OLTL history.

It was the right thing to do, though I believe it was a Malone move. I was amazed they kept Cat Hickland through that, seeing as Lindsay had a downward spiral and murdered Sam sort of by accident while in a psychotic fugue. It was very believable to me frankly given their history, but somehow they pulled her out of that hole to keep her around though the character was fundamentally altered.

Laurence Lau might make a fine Jeff Webber, come to think of it.

I don't have any issue with Willow doing it and getting off if it serves plot function and her continued mayhem. The marriage and their twisted relationship would ensure her freedom, for now. My issue would be putting it on Drew simply to blame everything on him and keep any profound new plot shift - like Willow fully breaking bad - to a minimum, which this show too often does as is.

I'm sticking with Dean Butler.

If Frank truly had his way, there would be no drama on GH whatsoever. Just nonstop "Home & Hearth" crap. That way, with only one set, he could save enough money to hire back everyone from OLTL.

I think I'm leaning towards Scout being the shooter.

I will say that even though GH has its problems, it's practically Shakespearean compared to B&B.

I agree! DO BETTER, BRADLEY!!

Maybe Ezra Boyle did it as a favor for Sidwell, to cover up the bribery and murder of Judge Heran? He’s certainly an expendable character.

If Scout is the shooter, then Drew needs to be Shiloh. It would be ridiculous to tell us that Scout shot her own father twice because she was upset with him over their various family issues.

I now think that the shooter was either Scout or Molly.

That would be terrible.

Now that I can sit down and have the wiggle room in time. Finally made it into December...and I'll say what I've been saying. I do like that when I've had time during this busy month, that GH has been highly bingeable or good background noise.

Let me start with the bad though...where I'm at in my viewing right now...the episodes have that le sigh 'wacka wacka' vibe to it and we know how much that irritates me to no end. It was slight but noticeable enough to mention it. I really and truly wish that if CVE...which is who I feel is the main person cuz it is usually in his episodes...would try a new form in his writing outlines to get the humor he is clearly working for in a way that's funny. It reminds me of Marvel movies where you have a serious moment going on and then...a joke pops out at the wrong time to do so. That said...I did like the mixture of characters said wacky-ness was in. And yeah the closeup on the dogs was adorable.

Meanwhile...so I had to smh at the (potential?) Who Shot Drew reveal. First of all, I would say that was Korte if it's going to be Curtis being behind it all. I've said over the last couple of years that of the two HWs Korte really seems to be the one inspired by Drew vs Curtis and it showed in her episodes where she headlines. She has done some intriguing twists that I liked...only for CVE episodes to ruin them. So I fully expect more of the same. Second of all, MS. WU!!!! We know I loved seeing her...the shaky camera work...not so much. I don't like that silly technique dating all the way back to OLTL so Frank...I SEE YOU. In any case...I do like the idea and twist if it's for real going to be Curtis/Ms. Wu behind Drew's shooting. BUT I liked the idea of Willow as the shooter. And that brings me to...

...YASSSS!! And by that...I LOVED that Willow said what we have been discussing on screen. She is no longer in love with Drew. She is USING DREW. The smartest thing she's ever done. Which of course means Dark Willow is still in play...and I can get behind Willow as a schemer. Good to be verified in some way given Katie Mc plays Willow now like she is going to crack at any moment. That said...the downside that I felt to that is that it moves her away from being Drew's shooter which is just good delicious drama as well so it makes me wonder if the writers were trying to find any way they could to wiggle her out of the corner she was clearly heading and just luck onto Curtis.

I AM OVER DANTE. Not the character, but his hatred of Gio. It is just so plot-based and it irks my soul every time it comes up. It feels so out of character from what we know of Dante. Worse they used the lamest reason for it. So it will never ring true for me. Though I'm happy to see DZ being used more in family stuff as well as Police Commissioner cuz...DZ.

Now...what's currently holding my interest...

No surprise, but LAURA, LAURA, LAURA. I've loved each and every minute of what's going on with Laura, Sonny, and Dalton's body. I don't like everything about it, but I think it's a case for me of GF can spin just about any stupid thing into gold and GF doesn't phone in. There's been so many moments major and minor within the storyline where GF conveys soooo much on her face...even subtext and it makes me think to past storylines with her...and I'm good. Like her vs Sidwell which was some great scenes, ending with her breaking down as she saw he had her over a barrow...such a Laura moment. I still feel they are using Erza wrong, but interesting that he and Sidwell are in cahoots. And I love that Kevin is back and Laura went ahead and told him. I was fully expecting her to keep it from him.

I can't decide if I'm liking the Sidwell scenes because the plot is moving or because I like the actor. I did like during my wacka wacka episodes that the actor was actually playing against the vibe. Since he's the Frank villain du jour, it was there in the performance, but the actor was giving a menacing subtext. And that was appreciated. My only complaint is that for Sidwell to rise, they had to dumb down Drew as the main villain. I wish the writers understood they could use BOTH in that capacity, but they are probably planning this as to redeem Drew as they are using Curtis/Ms. Wu to redeem Willow.

I'm also loving the Portia mess. Curtis and Jordan getting back together has brought out this hellcat in Trina and she's never been hotter. It might be only a plot device, but TA is running with it and I love it. Ava would approve I'm sure. And the walls just closing in on Portia has been crazy. I also loved Nina vs Portia. More please.

SIDENOTE...HEY, JOEY BUCH, HEY!!! About time they got him shirtless. That said...like I said before...Carly doesn't need a sidekick to scheme. She does it as easily as she brings so I rolled my eyes at the return of Frank's BFF Val. The scenes were very well-directed though.

I'm back home with family for Christmas and got my mom to watch with me... she couldn't believe Tracy Q was still on... and of course she loved seeing the AMC actors on there. I doubt she'll get hooked and watch after I leave, but it was a nice moment to watch a soap together again after 12 or so years.

Awww. That is soooo adorable. Thank you for sharing.

Oh, lord.

Not that rumor again.

If anything it seems like the writers will be pulling back from Drew as villain soon. And just keep him obsessed.
