Lol! I don't see Willow's appeal at all. She has Dora the Explorer Hair! And only whines about her kids all day. But I am not a 50 year old straight man in the midst of a mid life crisis breakdown. I just don't know how that girl has that many men interested. She seems so exhausting.

Ah, I see. It's kinda like how I work how people like Michael and Spencer all for the say dour looking long stringy hair girl (who also happens to be psycho). I never did get that. Though I love the actresses mind you.

I think she's okay now, but that spark I keep seeing in Katelyn now, if the writers let that burn...I bet she can mode Willow into a vixen-y schemer. For her kids of course.

Is Jen still available to step in for Maxie like Theresa from Passions was doing for Sam?

Jen has gone on record to state she'll never work on General Hospital again; it was an unhealthy working environment for her.

Now why are they starting this episode with Jason and Liz? Ohhhh, my heart!!! And so unexpected. The definition of a tease. And Heaven forbid they use her as a spoiler for Britt. Again.

SHUT UP, SONNY!!!! How dare he want to get in Alexis's face for her reasons for being Willow's lawyer. As if he's not used to being blackmailed. I was so irked by him feeling a way.

And DOUBLE STFU to Brad, too. He doesn't get to speak for Britt. Though that Jason/Britt relationship does need a spoiler of some kind. Her working for Sidwell (or the fact Carly knows she's working with Brennan as a double agent) can do the job without Brad's irrelevance. Speaking of Britt working...I did like they referenced the fact she was on the run with Faison which makes her being in charge of the project more plausible.

So this is the new WSB man I take it. Like I said in the GH Spoiler thread....Brennan's days are officially numbered. And see? Carly in Brennan's apartment IS a Carly maneuver. I liked.

I am really liking Ava's blouse.

It's always nice to see Jason smile.

I can see why people mentioned the momentum seems to be slipping.

Did she finally get him.

I had to rewind to make sure it wasn't a dream.

Oh Michael. Hot, sexy Michael. This is what you and your douchebag father get for covering up and getting away with Jagger’s murder 🖕🖕

I know GH wants us to forget that but the irony of Michael being all worried that he might get charged with a crime he didn’t commit, and lose his kids to Drew and Willow does feel a little karmic.

Looking forward to his showdown with Chase tomorrow 👍

The ending cliffhanger was really good too

1-15

I didn't really like this one. It just focused on some pairings that I didn't care for (Nathan/Lulu...I'm looking at you) and yeah, it does feel like the momentum from Willow's trial has been misplaced. That said...awww at Gio and Emma.

The heat aspect seem so unnecessary. Heaven forbid they get to their first time organically. Still Gio and Emma making love for the first time was good. As well as Emma starting to worry about Anna. Get your Scorpio on!!

I also loved the Laura, Tracy, and Martin scenes. I do hope that is THE END to Martin trying to mix it up with Tracy in a wacky spy vs spy silliness. I also loved that Laura gave him a warning that if he does...he's on his own.

I also loved Tracy calling Chase out on his Cap'n Save-a-Ho tendencies. And FINALLY, more of BLQ saying her worries as well. I still think she did it too soft. But at least another scene of her mentioning it to Chase.

Of course, Carly will have an issue with Jason/Britt. And you know what? It didn't bother me to see another episode of Carly acting...well...like Carly!! And like I said earlier...I like seeing Jason smile. So I found the Jason/Britt scenes adorable in spite of myself. And I have to giggle at Britt threatening Joss...not knowing that Carly already knows so much.

I did like (so far) they are not dumbing Brennan down to this new guy. And he is still keeping his secrets close to the vest.

But yeah, I'm ready to get back to the trial.

Even though Willow has gotten better, I still don't understand why anyone would be obsessed with her and/or her dumb kids. She doesn't even seem fun to be around lol. I know Drew is one notch above Satan, but CM and his six pack can still get it. Not sure why he is wasting so much time on Willow of all people. I reserve the right to change my mind if we find out she was faking cancer though.

I've never been attracted to Cameron, although I get his appeal. I think the only reason he wants Willow is because she is a status symbol (the wife of the nephew who is the paragon of not one, but two families, which Drew had a close view of when he was dating Carly), and because she worshiped him. She made him feel special and good at a time no one else did. He's not chasing her, he's chasing the high.

I think Chase is the same. He can feel righteous and noble while helping her. While he's with Brook Lynn and the Qs, he feels inferior.

CM isn't really my type either, but he's objectively quite handsome and has a great body. I suppose both Drew and Chase have a hero complex. Obviously Drew isn't anyone's hero, but I think he thinks he is lol.

Good ending today!

I really can't stand Faison though. My least favorite Anna stories revolve around anything Anna/Faison in this current century.

You said it so much better, but yes.

The heat between CW/CM is undeniable. That ending was definitely a shocker - in the best, most twisted way.

Alexis feeling bad about Willow exoneration rings hollow considering the lengths she went to protect Kristina from a similar crime - stealing from a child, keeping Rick hostage, etc. Get over it!

I do hope that Scout tells Alexis that it was Willow (again) who arranged the visit.

The girl IS begging for a Mary Duvall exit, lol.

No way. She should keep spinning out, rain hell down for a few years to come and go out like Susan Moore.

I do agree with @DRW50 on why both men want her. If it was up to me though I also would include the note (as I've mentioned too much before) that the younger Willow is kind of a bizarre reflection for Drew subconsciously of his youthful love, Kim Nero (Tamara Braun), the woman he loved and lost who later had his now-dead son before he went off to war and then lost all semblance of his own life.

That's a great idea. If they hadn't memory holed that entire period, they could bring it up.

But it is true that BLQ and the Quartermaines emasculate Chase (in his mind). Willow doesn't. He knows she's checked out on having a family now that she has a son, so he in turn checked out the moment they found Gio and began to fixate more on Willow. If they would play the beat of Brook Lynn focusing on the business more (and actually doing it well as opposed to just shaming Lucy) that would also tie into the parallels re: Ned and Tracy. When either BLQ's father or grandmother lock in they are still sharks; Wally has always had that colder, power-hungry side he can bring out, which is part of how Ned and Lois' marriage ended.

IMO Chase also misses the days when he used to constantly judge Brook Lynn and shame her for doing shít before they got officially together/married, and back when BLQ used to have actual cockeyed schemes on this show as opposed to being a saintly matriarch in training. Like, he used to lecture and harangue her every week for so much as putting in a good word for him. It was nauseating to watch a few years back and he clearly got off on it. She should bring it up.
