The idea of Sonny not being front and center of the show is baffling to me given how long he's been the core of GH for many decades. Could be because Mo is getting older which as I stated before does show in his scenes now more than ever.

GH is finally enjoyable again and I think it's because Mo/Sonny is not shoved down our throats five days a week. It only took 30 years, but the hold he, Carly, and Jason have had on GH is finally easing up. Mo sleepwalks through his scenes anyway. Nothing is lost by Sonny not being as important as he once was. Although, Alexis should've hammered him about her taking the rap for Jagger's murder.

Gio and Emma took it to the next level. Okay. They're cute. But I must've missed why she was wearing a bikini in January.

Nathan's return is such a bust. He feels so isolated and comes off as a bore. Why is he back when the emotional stakes involve a comatose Maxie?

It seems to me that they planed his return around the original timeline Storms was going to return as Maxie. We were probably going to get a few weeks with his return before Maxie played some part in it. And it all got derailed. So he has been treading water since. It’s almost as bad as Lucky’s return was because there is nothing. Whatever the twist is they are preserving it by having him just there not really doing anything.

They also dropped most of his interactions with Britt too. So her suspicions and odd looks at him will return a couple of weeks before Maxie.

Has it been explained why they chose not to recast Maxie? My heart goes out to KS, and I'm hopeful that her health improves. But they shouldn't have moved forward with Nathan's return if Maxie weren't around. Stephanie Gatschet (if she's still acting) could've been a nice recast. I don't even know if I'll care about this story when KS returns to the role.

I'm so so about Nathan and Lulu. Lulu has been an utter shrew for a solid year. But that seems to be more GH writing since a lot of the women are unlikable at different times. I'm surprised they haven't romantically hinted at Lulu and Dante.

There was a problem with the heating in the building.

Another place where the show has dropped the ball is with Ric. His return in 2024 was better than the returns of Jason and Lucky combined, and now he's barely on, with zero story. I guess the show only has room for one male sleazy lawyer at a time, and that position is currently being taken up by Martin. Sad to see Ric fall in the pecking order to Martin, but I guess that's Frank for you.
