Is GH rewriting the Hudson storyline? He came on the show as a bad guy that Ethan tried to stop from finding Phoebe. They fought and Ethan made it seem like Hudson was the most evil person ever.

Hudson was interested in Phoebe, and we got scenes of him trying to find out more details about her identity.

Then suddenly, Hudson is Jax's employee at JJE and now only appears like a supporter and possible love interest for Joss. And Jude has taken over the role Hudson had in the beginning.

What gives??

Yep, that's what it seems like, which is annoying.

So much happened today... so Heather now owns Wyndemere! And do we believe her that she's not the stalker? If so, I guess we still have to deal with someone else out there stalking Trina? I'm going to assume our murderous Heather isn't locked up because of some convoluted soapy reason?

Good to see Martin back, it's been awhile. With Monet on the show, I was afraid our local lawyer would go by the wayside.

Heather coming back is stupid. Her last appearance should have been her final appearance. Alley Mills is a lovely woman and looks properly, ahem, refreshed (good for you girl) the character is more than spent. Making her Esme's mother was itself a bridge too far but no, let's keep beating this dead horse.

The whole poisoned hip nonsense helped derail Mulcahey's tenure (along with a lot of likely sabotage). The worst part of the whole thing was even then any idiot knew she would be back and would still be psycho. I will never see her as Heather and I don't believe Heather ever needed to return in the first place - even with Robin Mattson they got all her returns wrong.

Looks like they are taking Hudson down the road of fakeNathan, from super bad guy to mixed up accomplice, which probably suits the actor's range better.

I'd rather see them bring back Esme than Heather. But both characters have been ruined by cringey bad writing through the years. The merciful thing to do for the audience might be to forget either character ever existed.

Yeah, that's what I've been saying since before this Jax Company story started. No matter how they try to soften his character, Hudson was the one who seem set to be Phoebe's dad and had a dark side as shown by him being NuEthan up.

I swear, any potential Hudson actually had as a character is just going to wash away by them attempting to do just that.

Heather buying Wyndemere is weird considering she's not even close to being a key character. Who would even visit her there? Will she end up having Esme or Spencer alive and kidnapped there, or will she end up giving Wyndemere to someone else, as an overly friendly nutcase? Like Ace/Laura, Trina or Liz? I really can't see Heather living there for years.

You know Joss is truly awful when you are actually hoping Jude steals "everything" from her. Like, girl, you took control over JJE a month ago and never cared about it before. We, as an audience, don't even really know if he's a bad guy. Besides yelling at Joss and trying to legally get custody of a child he thinks is his, he hasn't done anything. I mean, I do hold sleeping with Britt against him but that's only a crime against the audience not a real crime lol.

I know, I know. Jude will obviously be the big bad and probably team up with Heather and annoy me for the next two years and I will regret that previous paragraph.

The Heather stuff is a waste of time and I ff.

Why do Dante/Liz keep changing locations for their lame flirting? The last we saw are intrepid maybe couple Ric showed up at Liz's and Dante went to drop off the cupcakes. Wouldn't a continuation of those scenes be better? Dante coming back to confess he has feelings for Liz, sees her with Ric and leaves vowing to keep his feelings to himself. Instead of movement in the story Liz/Dante meet up at the hospital to do the same thing they have been doing for 6 months now.

The only entertaining part is Carly and Val being stupid enough to get caught and being extremely indignant about the fact they were suspects for Brennan's murder when they were at the grave in the dark and had his finger in their possession. Lol

LOL at, and agree with, everything here! 😂

I keep hoping that Sonny will have to be forced to save Joss' butt from whatever danger she puts herself in.

Anna had a lot of calm restraint with Heather today. I don't know their history, but I guess Anna knows how to softly handle crazy. Looks like Heather will be terrorizing Laura with Ace this go-around, with a little Trina/Portia in the mix.

I like how they tied important details into the Ava/Alexis conversation today, to where Alexis now knows a ton of information that she can't share.

Wow, super detective Joe is smart, which they are starting to shove down our throats haha. I'm guessing that pursuing Carly will be the dramatic wedge they're planning for Lucas/Joe. Fight it out boys!

BLQ was so obvious with offering to trash Joss's bottle. I LOL'ed at Joss ~"If you want my DNA, just ask for it".
