Dr. Gannon needs to drop that towel....😃

I wish I cared about Maxie's return. The setup to this story has been piss poor. Did Nathan ever visit her?

I hope Maura West finally gets a real story this year. She and Rebecca Herbst need more to do. The show really fumbled the Ric/Liz/Ava triangle.

I still can't believe this (or any) show once had characters named "Esme," "Nelle" and "Claudette."

AMC did get story out of a Claudette...I hope the Claudette fans in the audience dig up those episodes in spiritual hopes it will bring Bree Williamson back to Port Charles.

Welcome back, Maxie!

And while I still think they needed to better establish a reason why Nathan seemed to have pretty much forgotten all about his love for Maxie, I am interested in seeing Lulu/Nathan/Maxie play out.

Btw, congratulations Curtis!

But yeah... Isaiah needs to dump Portia's ass too. He's too hot and too nice for someone that mean.

I feel like Nathan forgot about James too. Like, hey, he likes Cody better. I am out lol. I am sure we are setting up for Nathan not being real Nathan or whatever or worse some sort of twin story, but the anvils are there.

Welp, on that island by myself. Curtis is blahh these days. I was rooting for Isaiah.

I don't think any living soul was rooting for Curtis, except for Donnell.

I root for neither. Curtis is a test pattern and Isaiah is a bland simp. His whole personality a year and a half ago turned out to be a) Lucky and b) his beard. Then homie shaved.

I am always team rooting against anyone else to have another useless kid on GH.

I hate that the show lost interest in Isaiah. The potential was and is still there to make him important on the canvas. I wouldn't have minded an R.J. Gannon tie-in.

I'm still bitter that Curtis is Trina's biological father. The writers just swapped Taggert out for him, and now this new kid (if it survives) anchors him even more to the canvas.

I don't care about Isaiah. He's just not interesting. None of them are interesting except Portia when they're not grinding her into the ground. I'd cut them all and fix her character.

Exactly. Who is this for? No one. It's the old FV stand-by: A baby story to fill time.

Just the fact that he came in with Lucky and Lucky is loooooooooong gone and he's still there will always be hilarious.

Nelle is short for Janelle so that one isn't that weird I suppose.

Claudette was French Canadian so I will just assume it's a popular name up North lol.

I don't really know any Esme's but I think it has been a thing since Twilight?

I can't believe I just wrote a post defending these nitwit characters lol.

Lol. But it was cute that you wrote it.

I could see the last one...but I agree on the others.

Really disappointed to see Curtis is the father of the baby. Is there really more drama there? Because it's just another baby we won't see unless we get more stupid custody arguments.

Isaiah hasn't done much, I agree, but that's the show's fault. He's a decent actor and a beautiful man. They're wasting him, and now what?

Meanwhile we've had months and months and months of Portia lying and making bad decisions and being thrown under the bus.
