The only one I'm 100% daily with atm is BTG, and that's something I give any show I'm committed to in its first year unless it turns out to be Passions where I didn't last 3 months.

I still can't believe you gave PASSIONS three months, lol.

Gurl that is not worth it to me. There is nothing pressing on this show currently worth wading through a major backlog of episodes for. Just skip to the stand! It's what I'm doing from the couple days I'm behind.

I'm with @Vee , @Antoyne . My GH viewing has been sporadic since PM jumped/was pushed, and nothing that I've viewed will make me change that.

I just got to the street cameras capturing Willow on Drew’s street the night of the shooting so they hooked me 😭😭

Like I said, close but no! I think I made it a month-plus tops, after the first 3-4 weeks it kind of blends together into a mobius loop of horror. I know I got past Sheridan's near-death visitation by the ghost of Princess Diana.

I really hope Isaiah is the father of Portia's baby so can get from Curtis.

Curtis has been ruined and Trina is on the verge with all that whining.

Now some people are just completists and just like to watch their shows in order. And say what you want about the current soaps, but at least GH...wacka wacka and all...is surprisingly bingeable in spite of its flaws. I've been saying that a lot lately and yes, I am shocked that I'm saying that. Mind you, I now tune into Y&R for events that interests me or a Jess Walton/Eileen Davidson appearance, but it's better than not watching at all which is what I do now. Sorry, Josh Morrow.

@titan1978 I have thought for a while now that Jason/Liz would be a more organic pairing. Honestly, the more mature Sam would have been better than Britt, although I had little desire to go down either road when Jason returned.

I think Britt is barely above Sasha in the potential love interest race. KT and SBu have chemistry. Their brief pairing back in the day was good. I am not sure it had any long term viability though. At this moment Jason has grown and Britt has regressed. The bickering and fake hate routine gets old with them quickly.

As far as Gio/Emma/Trina, I really don't see how Trina would have come out of that unscathed. Gio and Emma would have been the endgame and Trina would have resorted to scheming or lying to try to keep him. Besides I think GM/BB have better chemistry than GM/TA.

gasps Did I just hear you say that? jk.

Their pairing (before someone named Frank derailed it) was good. But...yes. Jason has grown and Britt has regressed. Given who wants her around, I can only assume that part of the story is intentional. But you know I said before she 'died'...and I know I'm in the minority...but Britt had growth. Definitely more growth than what is currently on display.

I wouldn't have mind a Trina/Gio/Emma triangle when Emma first got back. Now...I think it would do damage to Trina than anyone.

Man the brief quad of Ric/Liz/Lucky/Ava had so much damn potential. And they tanked the sh.it out of it.

YESSS!!!! And everyone of them had chemistry with each other. EVERY...ONE!!! Just sitting on a goldmine, but Frank can't have that.

Like I said before, if he had his druthers, he'd turn GH into "Home & Hearth," and just fill each episode with goofy hijinks.

Wacka wacka!!!

Given how often Home and Hearth pops up, I believe it, too.

It’s why Ava is defanged, Watros isn’t allowed to go full psycho, Valentin is a simpering wimp, Laura and Sonny are besties, and everyone is generally way to genial with each other. At least they are allowing some conflict with Drew and Carly turning on Brennan.

I want the kind of sustained animosity we got from Ed Bauer and Roger Thorpe, or Viki and Dorian. The snobbery of Phoebe Wallingford. A general dislike over the years like Erica Kane and Brooke English, or Margo Hughes and Barbara Ryan. GH historically had a supervillain big bad, and then also natural conflict between people that just don’t get along. Bobbie and Lucy could be nice over BJ’s grave, and also rip each other’s hair out later.

It’s why I have loved Drew this year. And why I used to love the way other women felt about Carly. Liz, Robin, Brenda, and Sam all cannot stand her, with good reason.

Exactly!!! Ava is at her best when she has her claws out.

Speak on it with that sustained animosity. At least we got it with Drew and I don't see that changing.

Yeah, but they've gone so OTT with Drew that I expect him to tie Willow to the railroad tracks before the new year!

Amen to this! :)

Trina is a 20-something who is way too invested in her parents' marriage. She's written like a 5-year-old.

I really liked the "Who Shot Drew?" story at first, but it seems to be going in circles now. He's still a jerk, and it's almost as if the story is back at square one. However, I do like the idea of someone secretly helping Willow out. First, getting rid of the video and then the letter to Alexis. Chase is too obvious.

I love Maura West and wish they'd give her something to do. She and Ava are just there. Same with RH/Liz. They and Ric need major stories in 2026.

Or her him! Willow still got that crazy in her. ;)

Seriously, I can't believe they not only took Drew's one redeeming quality aka Scout away and not even being shot has changed him. Shoot him again!

Thank you. I think it says something that I am actually disappointed when I can't get around to my player quick enough and miss episodes of GH...where you actually can miss a day AND miss a lot VS B&B or Y&R where they have timed amount of time before the player deletes them and that's when it's not set to delete early and that happens and I feel NOTHING.

It’s been a great binge. I’ve also just gotten to the anniversary episodes on Days of our Lives and I’m obsessed with the 60’s flashbacks.

I know I have said it before, but the Ava/Nina and Ava/Alexis confrontation scenes during that period were my favorite Ava scenes in a long time. Maybe ever. The turn with Nina where she just drops the pretense was so good! It wasn’t just two ladies sparring, Ava seemed dangerous again.

The scenes between Ava and Nina were very well-acted and had some emotional weight to them, which isn't often the case with relationships on soap these days. I did want to see where Mulcahey was taking Nina (I assumed he was taking Ava into a body bag). It's clear Korte does not care.

I know all soaps do this, but I don't know why GH in particular has now a decades-long history of head writers who are allowed to have such apathy and hostility toward characters they don't like. This isn't a dollhouse, it's a job.

I don't know if Korte has ever written much of worth for the characters she does like...
