Someone upthread pointed out that tornados leave a narrow swath of destruction so a house next door might be untouched. This allows a small portion of Fairmont Crest to be damaged while the surrounding buildings/neighborhoods could be fine.

But that wasn’t the narrative being told on BTG, they talked about streets being blocked and power being out for most of the town, If I recall correctly. So, it was definitely far beyond just the club.

sure wish I could watch live!

I feel that!!!

Solid aftermath episode! I hope they keep this up. Poor Eva - needing a liver transplant. I'll have to Google to see how that works - do alive people just give a portion of their liver or what?

episode #308 | original release date: Monday, June 15, 2026 | writers: Jamey Giddens, Danielle Paige | director: Sonia Blangiardo-Goins

Thoughts:

• Yes, Chelsea, this is semi-like what happened when you went missing. But just like then, you will all power through this.

• The aftermath of the tornado is insane; this is going to take some time for Fairmont Crest to recover and really get back into their usual swing of things. I can only imagine.

• Eva got into surgery quick. That is a good sign that they had the ER prepped for her arrival.

• I am praying that Martin makes it out of this alive; hopefully his collapsing is just from aftershock.

• Surprised Nicole is giving Chelsea the key to her office, especially after the security breech with her computer system.

• Good on Samantha and Tyrell being resourceful in lighting candles to give them some light.

• Not Katherine's presence about to have me siding with Dana on this one. Get her, Dana. Get her!

• Abby will not be starting a fan club for Joey. She probably is back in Genoa City, at the Chancellor mansion, with her son. And yes, Devon is Katherine's grandson.

• It is kind of sweet that this situation is allowing Ashley, Jacob, Naomi, and Shanice share memories about Derek. That felt very healing.

• No, Ted, actually it is not enough. I am sorry to say it, but it is about time someone laid it out to your selfish, self-centred, spoilt bitch of a daughter about her disgusting, uncouth behaviour.

• That was a sweet moment in Tyrell comforting Samantha. And woo-hoo for power being restored in the brownstone.

• Oh goodness. Not liver damage beyond salvaging. Patchwork is not possible when words like 'beyond salvaging' exist.

• Aw, it is really sweet that Deanna called from her dorm room to check in on Vanessa. That shows a glimmer of some kind of hope.

• Thank goodness Martin is A-OK! That is a real sigh of relief to hear.

• Not the crusty rubber ducky. 🤣🤣 I am sensing either major emotional instability or bipolar disorder from Deanna. She snaps on a dime.

• I see Anita's spirits are UP despite all that she has been through recently. 🤣 She is not happy to have been excluded from the information regarding Martin.

• Sweet moment of Izaiah to pray with Dana for Eva. Real sweet.

Notes:

• 😑 After an amazing week of momentum, consistency, and great classic soap scripts, we are back to this... crap. Ugh. I knew it was coming and I am just glad it did not happen last week. Would have ruined it.

• It feels good that the 'aftermath' of the tornado is not being rushed or glossed over as an afterthought. We are playing it out.

• Even though she was over the top a bit too much today, Trisha Mann-Grant (Dana) did some solid emotive work today.

The last tornado we had in my city touched down in a very small neighborhood and completely destroyed many of the houses there. But it downed trees all over town as it swept across the city; it didn't peel-off roofs or destroy walls except in the small area where it touched the ground. That's typically been my experience with them.

I can't believe I was actually looking forward to this week's episode.

Today was a good episode.

I was hoping Martin would have passed, and his liver would be the one to save Eva. Imagine the Leslie and Nicole scenes.

Btw Joey and Vanessa are a snoozefest.

Is Vanessa this stupid?

I’m convinced Vanessa and Joey purely exist to annoy me.

This storyline has really been great for humanizing Leslie. I’m hoping once it’s done we don’t go straight back to the circus with her.

Trisha Mann-Grant better get that Emmy reel ready. She was great today.

Great show today, although I wouldn't have missed Joey and Vanessa. It was great seeing Deanna. She had me cracking up with the "crusty rubber ducky" comment.

Lol Sonny barely exists on GH now and hasn’t gotten away with murder in a few years so we’re good right now 😂

I might have to hitch a ride on that wagon.

How Joey makes people twitch will always be fascinating to me. Do you think how Joey (and JL) are used is any worse than say...Frank and his faves who have been pushed in the past on GH (I'm looking at you, Roger H, Michael E, and of course James S!)? Cuz those 3 have been circle in a square peg over there versus given Joey's lifestyle where it makes sense he has so many tentacles. Well...LAST YEAR. THIS year...I can see some of the complaints mentioned here in passing.

When Nicole was with Smitty the other day, I was wondering if Nicole is ever going to find out Smitty was the one who breached her computer.
