Glad that we finally got to see Liesel and Victor Cassadine again. So, Victor set up the fake medical conference to get Liesel and do some kind of medical research? Also, if we weren't sure before, we definitely know now that Peter is in league with Victor. I'm actually enjoying Mr. Sheffield as Victor, and think that he and Liesel have an interesting dynamic.
Trina continues to impress with her intelligence and compassion. I know people on the internets want her to eventually join the PCPD, but she's too smart for them and would get dragged down. The WSB's a better fit for her, lol!
Also, Spencer's dialogue with Nicholas was weird. He used the same words to describe Esme that he's used with Trina: beautiful, smart, direct (although he had a bit more to say about Trina). Was he really referring to Trina while pretending to talk about Esme, or does he really think about them in the same way, or were the writers just lazy and didn't bother coming up with different descriptions for them?

When Sonny was "dead" that should have released Ava from any custody agreement so she should have been free to take Avery. It would have been more soapy for her to show up at Carly's to pick up Avery and there is Sonny, yelling and slamming his fists refusing to let Avery go. Cary could extend her "oh yaaaaaa.......now I remember" face.
That's how it went originally. Nikolas and Ava assumed primary custody of Avery, but then gave her back to Carly when the stalker storyline got going.

I'm pleasantly surprised that Chase didn't just go back to being hunky dory with Milquetoast Millow. He's not holding a grudge, but he's not cool with them either.
Also, I continue to enjoy Spencer and Trina. That boy has got it bad. He was literally staring at her playing on her phone/fixing a drink the whole time that Joss and Esme were trading barbs. And I'm glad that Trina was the one to figure out that Spencer and Esme were working together as the stalkers. This is probably the best written story on the show right now.
I also found myself moved by Sonny reuniting with his kids despite not usually having much use for any of them (besides Dante).

I have to admit that WR's performance has finally hit that sweet spot where it's Hammy and OTT enough that I'm finding it entertaining and comical. So, if that's what he's going for, he's hitting the mark for me.

Thanks, but I feel you're reading WAY too much into articles of clothing. I'm sure MOST of us don't see what you describe, and almost positive that it wasn't what the writers intended either.
I agree that it wasn't the writers' intention. I just think that this whole storyline is problematic and tone deaf.

Eric & Quinn were in formal clothes to (supposedly) celebrate the renewal of their marriage and to have a romantic dinner. Carter was summoned at his home to visit them, so naturally he would be in everyday clothes. So what am I missing?
Given the context, in which Eric is offering Carter to fulfill Quinn's sexual needs, there are parralels to enslaved African Americans being used for sexual gratification by their owners; so in context, Eric and Quinn dressed up and Carter in casual attire presents a distressing image.

Was that Jordan’s exit? Those played like goodbye scenes. If that’s the case, couldn’t they have written her a better one?
Maybe it's for BH's maternity leave?

Ehhh, in a race to the bottom I gotta give it to Cane. At least Billy listens to Lily. He still does what he wants but he hears her out. And I feel like Billy really loves Lily, whereas Cane always seemed to me like Lily was mainly a prop for him in this image he wanted to create of a perfect wife and mother in his perfect family. Billy has his issues but I will never miss Cane.
Wonder where Mattie and Charlie's little brother is now? Out wandering the streets of Melbourne?
I think that Billy is more open (often obnoxiously so) about his awfulness, which is really grating and off-putting. Cane tried to present himself as more respectable, and could come off as annoyingly sanctimonious and hypocritical.

The only thing worth watching was Trina. One because she is awesome and two, she wasnt actively propping Snarly and Jason like everyone else was.
I think that Trina is such a great young heroine; and she's been written pretty well overall. We clearly see that she is loyal, intelligent, outspoken, caring, and an overall a good, well-meaning person/character. She has agency and doesn't merely react to what's going on around her. But she also has clear flaws that are addressed in story (her reaction to her father faking his death, her reaction to the knowledge about her mother's affair with Curtis, and her overall idealization of people that she looks up to).

I knew that Victor would be showing up eventually with the name-dropping that's been going on. I actually suspected that he would be involved in Liesel's kidnapping; but I thought that we'd just be seeing dayplayer guards for a few days-weeks before it was revealed that they were working for him. Color me surprised, but I'm actually interested in this story (and I'm actually finding myself buying Liesel and Scott's pairing). I am curious if Spencer and/or Esme is in league with Victor; and if he's connected to Ryan and/or Peter.
I loved the scenes between Ava and Trina.
Esme is definitely the brains behind her and Spencer's operation. It'll be interesting to see how she responds if he gets distracted (by his feelings for Trina, or an actual desire to reconcile with his father).

Willow gets a pass solely because it's Michael. Ugh. Imagine if she had cheated on Michael with Chase.
The whole town would be lining up to call her a WhoreSlutTramp, and she and Chase would both be pariahs.
One thing that I found really interesting is she talked about the pure, genuine love that she and Chase has. In my mind, she was basically admitting that she's mainly choosing Michael because of Wiley and the family that he has rather than for just himself.

As horrible as it sounds, I actually would like to see Wiley get killed off so Willow could realize that she doesn’t have a connection to Michael without him.
And it would force her to deal with her own child's death instead of latching onto Wiley as a replacement.

I am still thinking that Esme has a hidden agenda and isn’t just fatal attracting Spencer. She seems very invested in the plan even more so than Spencer.
Oh, I definitely agree, especially when she didn't really seem to care about Spencer's crush on Trina (except for how it may affect THE PLAN). There's some speculation that she may be Ryan's daughter.

I'm digging it. It's so over the top and hammy, and it's exactly what this ridiculous story needs.
I think that it's over the top and hammy, but it hasn't quite gotten to the point that it's funny to me. I just need him to pull out the "Superstar" move the way Marty Saybrooke did on OLTL. That was deliciously over the top!

Esmee and Spencer make such a lovely entitled pair.
I definitely see that they're going for both Esme and Trina appealing to different sides of Spencer. I'm glad that they aren't playing like Esme doesn't know that Spencer is interested in Trina because it was obvious that they were about to kiss when she found them at Wyndemere. I'm actually liking Esme now too; but I actually thought that I detected a sparkette between Esme and Cam both today and last week.
I was hoping that Chase would hand the letter to Michael and wash his hands of that situation, so I was pleased with those scenes. I don't see how Austin presenting that to the court would change much of anything since Edward never made an official change to his will. (I guess it would depend on how far before he died that this document is dated). I'm a little sad that Chase didn't give Willow a harder time. Now I hope that they can really test him with Brook Lynn to see if they work together. If they don't work, maybe they can bring back Briana Lane as a different character, because they had great chemistry.

Has the show mentioned Sydney? What is up with her? I always envisioned her to be a hybrid of EJ and Sami so she should have been the one who came to Salem pregnant and not Allie.. Not to mention, Sydney forming a bond with Nicole, pushing Sami over the edge. The history was there but Ron chose the wrong daughter to reignite the Nicole/Sami feud.
Nicole/Sydney bonding would really bring out Hurricane Sami, justifiably so in my opinion. I thought that the bonding between Allie and Nicole was really contrived. Nicole was never really shown to be around her since she was Lucas's child; but she was around Johnny and Sydney when she was married to EJ. My guess would be that Sydney's probably still in school somewhere in Europe (since she's younger then Johnny and Allie).

I still love Spencer though and I just pray this show has it in them to make him interesting and complex and show that he’s broken and let him grow. I know that ra..rely happens but he’s not in the Corinthos vortex of suck so I’m hoping
I have higher hopes for this than I normally would; because I do think that Spencer's reintroduction storyline has actually been pretty well-written especially compared to so many of the current and recent ones. And I still find myself weirdly invested in Spencer and Trina, which I think has been particularly well-developed so far (especially for a teen romance).

The last time we saw him when Nikolas returned, I don’t remember Bechtel talking like a pretentious Eurotrash, like his SORAS version is doing.
It does make sense given that he's supposed to have been in boarding schools in Europe for several years.

I thought the actor did well in his scenes. He's settling into the role. And that was one lame-ass party, btw. I get that there's a pandemic and that the show didn't want to hire a bunch of extras, test them, put them in very close confines. Party still lame, though.
And they clearly could've avoided the party. They could've had the party happen completely offscreen and have Joss, Cam, and Trina stay behind to clean up an obviously trashed Windemere. Nothing in the story would've changed.

Episode Discussion II: The TFGH
in General Hospital
I'm starting to wonder, did Victor Cassadine somehow fake Britt's Huntington's Disease diagnosis as part of a long con to get to Liesel? I know that sounds crazy and convoluted, but this is GH.
