  1. This whole ridiculous Cassadine thing would be a lot more interesting if instead of Ace being the heir and that money sitting idle for the next 17 years they had named Kristina instead. Also, yeah, no way they could take back the proceeds of the sale of Wyndemere. If Sam Malone could run Cheers then Lucky can be the bartender at Charlie's. I'd prefer him in a more active profession but this will at least give him an excuse to talk to a lot of folks.
  2. I understand the objections to the personality change in Emma. But in a few episodes she's managed to call Joss on her crap and allowed Finola to play something other than weepy guilt over Val and Charlotte. For that alone I am willing to with it.
  3. I really liked the Lucas scenes yesterday. Willow deserved a reminder that her life with Michael and the kids came at a cost. Taking the kids from Michael at Christmas was a dick move regardless of how I feel about the SLS. Trina and Joss are such goody two shoes that I like Emma getting a bit of shading.
  4. For JJ I have to assume they are waiting to take the picture until after he washes his hair. And can they retake Charles Mesure's while they're at it when he is not smelling a dead skunk or whatever caused him to make that face.
  5. The thing about this recast is...she sucks. She's shown a little life when gossiping or giving Drew the evil eye but otherwise, snoozarooni. Have Drew recommend her for a DC job and cut your losses with this dead end character
  6. I've got no love for Dex. But do we need another death? He would lift right out - recruited by the FBI, job offer from a contractor, etc. Now we have more grief when half the canvas is already grieving Sam as well as Molly and TJs baby. Watching Joss mope for the next however long is not going to be entertaining. And Cyrus already killed a vet we care about so this does nothing to raise the stakes. It's a dark story choice with no payoff.
  7. I am still liking her but I will admit seeing her hang up on Erica Kane was triggering. Like you haven't done enough to her, lady?
  8. (Before you ask, yes. And it kicked in around paragraph 2) We're about to get Krazy Kristina and I think I might be down for that. I don't have an attachment to Lexi's version of the character. She's mainly been a name for me in occasional recaps on the barge. I came back after Dawn of Day when she occasionally mopped that bar set they never use anymore. While I dipped in and out over the years I missed most of her big stories. So this version of Kristina is what I know and while I agree she is aggravating, I think she is compellingly so. I hope we're in for something fun. If they have the balls to let a little bit of camp into it, the Don's cuckoo daughter could be a great story. And if Sonny were to be forced to confront the monster he created? Let her go Dark Phoenix on Ava (prediction: she misses and hits Rick) and face the same lack of justice Sonny got for Jagger. Now emboldened, she starts settling scores all over town, leading to Sonny to try to settle her with a job in his coffee business. Eventually this leads to a blow up and she decides it's time for her to step up as the Mafia Princess she now believes she was born to be: a Corinthos and a Cassadine. Characters should grow and change. Sometimes you shorthand it with a recast. I always enjoyed what I saw of Lexi. But sweet fuckup was the vibe there. And that can only create so much story for an adult character. She's been rescued enough. (Plus, while he's a complex character, sweet fuckup is a good portion of what Lucky brings) This show is fast becoming The Lulu Show with Friends for me. But Lulu is going to need an antagonist. And between Sam's death and the Dante connection, it wouldn't take much to spread Krazy Kristina's revenge spree her direction. And then build from there. I want them to go full 80's miniseries with this. Have some fun. I think Manzi is a capable performer, particularly with a prickly character Port Charles has been saving Kristina Corinthos for herself for decades. Now it's time for Port Charles to save itself from her.
  9. He was such a unique performer and brought such menace to the part along with so much comedy with Tonja Walker. I too wish we had gotten one more big story with him (and #Justice4Talia). And if I may read another show to filth here, the character and his role as a mob boss was used correctly on OLTL. He could be a romantic "hero" to Alex or Renee but he was always a villain and never the center of the show.
  10. No. Carlo would have eaten Sonny for lunch.
  11. The most engaged I have ever seen this Jordan was yesterday when she was getting the hot Drew goss from Curtis. Otherwise dead fish.
  12. I do not understand why Gio needs to be related to anyone let alone Dante. I know BLQ and Lucas dated back in the day. Could that be why the character was brought back? That seems more interesting to me and less piling on a character who already has enough going on. Just glad Ron's gone otherwise you know Dante would end up shooting Gio as BLQ ran in and said it was his son.
  13. I'm sure Lulu doesn't actually believe she is biologically related to Ethan any more than I do.
  14. Agree with all the Alexa praise. And it's so nice to have her in a part where I can love her unconditionally after respecting her talent but hating her character on AMC. I've only seen the Laura scenes on YouTube so far but boy did I love no BS angry Laura!
  15. My guess is the Laura weirdness is down to the block taping. I think they only get her for so many days.
