It seems like the show is setting up Willow to be its next serial killer? I guess they really can't do nuance. She could plausibly get rid of Kai, Chase, maybe a few dayplayers like Suzanne. It makes you wonder about her longevity. The show doesn't have that many females in her age range to begin with.

There's no need to make her a serial killer. She has a least a couple years of more varied villainy left in her.

Le sigh.

I agree. This twist in Willow has given her more legs to actually hang around on canvas now.

Spot the difference.

That does make me laugh. I'm not sure if Swickard is being told to play Chase as crazy or not but he's really going off the deep end of late.

Very much so. Just like Drew.

Rory Gibson had Mo back on his heels in those scenes with Michael angry and drinking post-verdict. It reminded me of the way Mo (or Sarah Brown, or Vanessa at times) used to destabilize some people BITD. The deeper seed here, of course, is that Michael hates Willow but clearly also still wants her, which can make this all that much more twisted.

They have been wise to highlight the renewed distance between Sonny and the scheming, volatile new Michael since the recast, and it's only increased as he began actively plotting against Willow who Sonny believes is innocent. Bringing back A.J. (as a secret weapon for the family, against Drew but possibly also with his own agenda) would only enhance this further, but we can't have that when James Patrick Stuart needs a permanent home.

Those tight ass shirts should have been ripped up! Michael’s pants were so tight I’m surprised there wasn’t an accidental split down the seam too.

Willow is so much fun now! And unlike a lot of the stuff that happens on GH just for the plot, this descent is actually justifiably character driven.

I like that we have several credible people that will believe Willow did this. And if KM was leaving the show they have set up a killing spree pretty well. We have Kai who is recurring but has been around long enough, and Alexis/Diane’s assistant has been established. I would hope they don’t go that route because this version of Willow is great. Sonny/Jason have certainly committed worse crimes and are still out and about Port Charles. And who can blame her? Drew is a jerk.

I don’t think I can stomach Anna in that room talking to Anders Hove on the telephone for three months. And I love both of them.

I absolutely hate this stuff with doddering, weak, soon to be brainwashed Anna. I love Anna and Finola but I've made my issues with her choices in the last decade clear. I am sure she loves this material in order to plumb the emotional depths and show her range, but it makes the character look terrible. And it's likely to go on for months and months. Anna has needed to lock in and be a boss for years. The closest she came, during the Mulcahey interregnum, she still managed to weep her way through the farewell scenes with Sonny.

I believe Anna can be strong again, but we're sure not there now.

I still see people say he's acting more like Sonny now but he's much more Q-like to me - calculated on the surface and volatile underneath. I know Jason is busy with Britt, but they do still make time to have him involved with some of Michael's story in a more natural way than Sonny is capable of, like stopping the fight and asking Michael how he was doing.

AMEN.

I can't believe how much fun I am getting from watching Willow. So glad that was not a dream and she really did it.

And as much as I love both of them, too, (Anna and Faison) when that man...who apparently is now being set up as the person Britt was sooooo scared of at the Five Poppies...said three months, and I did the math, I can't. They can't possibly be keeping Anna down there that long. Nope.

There are elements of both. But he has always gravitated to the Q side of things as an adult. It's just got a much darker edge than most fans of the Qs are used to since, well, the very early '80s tbh. When Alan and Monica were at their most conniving and dangerous.

Well as I've said often...Y&R's loss has been GH's gain because Rory Gibson is giving. And not just in his clothes, either. I felt that anger boiling up today and all through the trial.

He reminds me more of Alan than most of the Michael actors, or most younger Qs have - he doesn't have Alan's rapier wit but he has the rest, if they allowed him to be as tough as Alan was early on (I don't need a repeat of how rough Alan was with Monica but while I liked Sasha I do think pairing Michael with a strong woman would be a step forward for him, as you have said).

Very true. I've seen tweets that he just has one facial expression. Michael isn't meant to be anything beyond anger these days, but even then, Gibson did a great job of showing so many different expressions in that great scene where he baited Drew into a witness stand meltdown.
