I always felt like Robin was the one woman who really intimidated Carly. She's smart, pretty, Sonny and Jason love her, the town adores her, she has tons of friends, etc. Carly always felt inferior to her. It's probably my favorite Carly rivalry. While I like Brenda/Carly as foes there really isn't that much history there besides sleeping with the same men. I don't think Carly respects Brenda and I think she secretly respects Robin.

I agree with that. I remember that SJB Carly I always felt like had an underdog vibe to her, but I would get irked when she would come for Robin and be so mean. I actually would react. Deep down, I felt the same. I was also happy that when Carly/Liz started, Liz had more bite to her so it felt evenly matched.

To your second point, I feel like Skye's inclusion in the Brenda return was another attempt at shoehorning the character in and gaining sympathy for poor Skye. Jax didn't need to marry her for conflict. Brenda faked her death weeks before Jax/Brenda's wedding, hid for 4 years, shacked up with Alcazar, thinks she's dying, Jax gets shot and paralyzed, Brenda marries Jason, Sonny's hanging around, Alcazar is still stalking her, and so on. That's a ton of conflict right there. Jax didn't need a wife in the mix especially when he dumps about 10 min after Brenda returned.

I was just joking. Though you speak nothing but facts. I was saying...how can anyone compete with Brenda. hehe.

Alexa Havins is so good but it really is a shame the writers took away all the spunk and fun.

While is what happened with the last Lulu recast, too. A shame because Lulu's return story was good and had potential and AH has been a great recast.

Please no. But if it does happen, I think having him as another new character and using Liz or Anna to try to make it work again will finally drive me from the show. I don’t think I can even FF that!

Woof. They're re-airing TG's last episode on New Year's Day. It's not great!

Awwwww Gio and Emma 😊😊😊

Hopefully, today means that Dante is finally coming around. This tension with Gio has been unnecessary from the very beginning.

This Brad and Britt stuff is unnecessary too.

-- The Cody and Molly scene and kiss at the end was the best part of the episode. It's the most chemistry I've seen between them, and it's about time GH moved when it comes to couples.

-- The Gio and Emma kiss was also great. I appreciate it when screen partners make a kiss look real, meaning no pursed and closed lips.

-- The Britt and Brad scenes were HORRENDOUS. How can anyone think this does ANYTHING for these characters? Why have them do something middle schoolers and lowlife criminals would do? It's not clever, it's not interesting, it's not funny.

-- I still can't get over Rocco's sentence of 500 hours of community service -- FIVE HUNDRED. We all know that MURDERERS don't get that kind of punishment in Port Charles.

Over some dogs! Again I ask, what animal will Rocco selflessly feed and care for next? Where will his reign of terror end?

I agree the Britt and Brad stuff was horrendous. If they truly brought Britt back to pair her with Jason this is not working. I am actively rooting for Jason to drop her. Jason is making some actual personal strides with familial relationships and has improved as a character. Pairing him with Britt is below him-and, yes, I realize I am talking about a hitman here lol.

I don't really know where they are going with Portia/Isiah/Curtis/Jordan here. Everything seems so rushed and blatantly disrespectful considering Portia/Curtis are still legally married.

I enjoyed the episode overall. Gio/Emma were cute and I really liked Danny today talking to Molly.

Of course, now that Val is officially back in town, he is immediately back in the credits.

Ugh.

Wacka wacka!!! jk

Seriously, I hope it stays a IF and not a WHEN. Though with all the faves dropping in here and there, I wouldn't be surprised. Heck, all we are missing is The Child We Don't Name and Gladys.

Not at all. I've even turned against them and I liked them the first time around. She just seems like she's stuck in a skit place while Jason has made so much strides since his return. So much so they don't even fit. Which is a shame because at first during her return, I could see it. Very much below him as it is currently written.

I was so annoyed on Jason's behalf today when he was trying to spend time with his son and family and had to go bail out those two boneheads. It's juvenile behavior and if Britt/Brad owned how embarrassing it was as grown adults to get caught doing that it would be on thing. They both were still making it a wacky joke. It wasn't a silly understanding Brad and Britt's part. Their solution was to dine and ditch instead of being mature humans, but we should want Lucas and Jason to take that on?
