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?

Now Isaiah goes crazy and becomes too obsessive with Portia and Curtis.

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

Yep!

Also the Nathan talk- KS’s return was delayed so they just stalled that story. We could have had months of Nathan doing anything remotely human in a situation like this. Bonding with James, being a co-parent with Spinelli, anything to make it seem believable that this guy is Nathan. But nope.

Maybe he can team up with Willow, give Portia the same drug as Drew lol!!

-- Shouldn't Jordan be even a little upset that Curtis is the father? Wouldn't any woman in her situation want to avoid the mess? Oh, that's right, she's understanding.

-- Shouldn't Isaiah be more upset that the child isn't his? Is he giving up the chance to be a bio dad by staying with Portia? Oh, that's right, he's understanding.

Anyone who says the mob still dominates this show need only watch the last few weeks. 90% of Sonny and Carly's scenes together (or even in general) in the last year are recapping non-mob plots led by Britt, Sidwell, Michael, Willow and Valentin. That's at least 50-60% of Jason's as well, the rest of which are spent with Quartermaines. And now: An hour of Sonny being a romantic sounding board for Lucy Coe.

If Guza were dead he'd be spinning in his grave.

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.

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

Likely just as a way to put Portia and Curtis back together down the line...my guess is he will cheat on Jordan with her.

As others have said, the whole thing does feel like filling time and justifying going around and around in circles.

I wasn't sure if Sidwell was classified as a mobster, but if he's not, this is very funny. And we're not far off the episode where Sonny was just herding dogs. I do get why people prefer the mob era to the show now, but I'm glad they at least know those stories wouldn't work with the current cast, writers, producers, etc.

He sort of is, but the whole feud with Sonny has been a sideline at best for a long while. His entire storyline is about international intrigue, the WSB, Faison, etc. His primary scene partners these days are WSB/DVX people, Britt, Ava, Lucy, his son, the evil gay butler, Drew - Sonny, etc. are way down the list. Sonny and Jason just spend time complaining about what he is doing with other people and taking almost no action themselves.

I prefer the Guza-era writing team to this one, but I will never be truly sorry the mob era is over. They broke the back of the Guza leads early in Frank and Ron's tenure and it never really recovered despite a few rallying points. But the last 3-5 years or so, for better or worse, have finished it.

There is no real, substantive difference between Curtis' relationships with Portia or Jordan. These characters are all interchangeable and have no real personality, other than what BK imbues to Portia onscreen. DT barely acts and Tanisha Harper has never been able to. And that anonymous bubble is how FV clearly likes the Black characters. For PR purposes he can say they exist, are on contract and are cloistered largely among themselves so as not to upset that only viewer base he engages with. In a few years there will be another clueless lovestruck interloper like Isaiah, or one of the women will go and another will be added to play the exact same storyline again.

I noted only a couple years ago when Curtis and Portia got married that they had the temerity to reuse 'the Ashfords' on some signage at the wedding, not long after Curtis and Jordan's overhyped wedding a couple years before that, and wondered if anyone involved got confused. It will happen again. I expect Stella to have faked the results or something to keep this going on and on.

They need to end the Lucy and Sidwell stuff. Are they setting up Lucy to get killed off just in time for her 40th anniversary on the show?

Sidwell and Lucy have no chemistry. It's not funny, it's not dramatic. It's more cartoonish and embarrassing than anything, and just sad.

Sidewall has more chemistry with Ava. It's amazing how Ava just has chemistry with everyone!

No.

Oh, Valentin, don't smell Charlotte's hair while whispering 'mon petite' or tell her 'you weren't supposed to tell anyone.' 😬 I am convinced Frank does not actually watch these scenes in the control room and just lovingly rewatches grainy YT clips of Will Cortlandt on AMC.

Sonny and Lucy were almost as fun together as they were back in the '90s. Lynn actually perked Mo up a bit. Again, the only value Sidwell has to me is as a foil for her and Ava to bounce off for a few more months between them in a marriage of convenience or con, etc. til he ends up dead. Carlo Rota is fun with them but both deserve far better.

@DRW50 you will be pleased to know Van Hansis camped it up again to the nth degree after listening in on Sidwell and Marco.

Or feuding with Spin. But alas...

Hehe. More than likely he will give it to Curtis. Because he felt the baby should be his.
