Verging close to off topic. But as a soap actor he would have more experience making sub-par dialogue work and finding his own intention with Lucas's famously terrible direction of actors. I think it would have been a much better performance. But the problems were already baked in from the first movie so maybe he did dodge a bullet. Back to topic. No articles about TR leaving has me hoping this is indeed a round trip and he'll be back while still with Holly offscreen.

I will go to my grave thinking JJ should have been Anakin Skywalker. I know he was in the running and had the emotional depth that part needed. I also like the symmetry with Hamill also coming from GH.

I would love nothing more than a redux of Alan/Monica/Rick where Michael tries to drop a house on the uncle and uncle fucker and ends up under the rubble himself. A pox on all three of them.

I think everyone with the exception of CM really stepped up for this story including Burton. Nancy Lee and Dominic were indeed the standouts. I really hope this turns out to be some sort of Angel of Death story or Sidwell or it has some other explanation than a surgical complication from the transplant. Soaps don't do Agnes Nixon style advocacy anymore but telling a story that is somewhat anti-donation is irresponsible. I've never been a Sam fan. And 21 years is a perfectly respectable soap run. This doesn't chart with the Frankie Frames or Maureen Bauers of soap (and meta soap) tragedies for me. But it's still very sad and I wish Kelly the best.

Pretty sure Phil Brewer was the first GH character to come back from the dead. I'll watch tonight. But characters railing at God is one of my biggest pet peeves. Always comes off as writers getting delusions of grandeur. McTavish was the worst at that. It's only worked once for me, on West Wing, so I guess the secret is to do it in Latin.

I didn't realize he was out at Days. I'm looking forward to the show even with a couple menaces on the writing staff. But I also think both Guza and to a lesser extent Ron are capable of very good soap.

I think the house should go to Olivia. Preserve the joke that the Quartermaine mansion doesn't belong to an actual Quartermaine. My guess is that's a controversial take. But under no circumstances should it go to effing Michael. I dislike the idea of killing Monica off. Have her retire to a Greek island or something. Leslie can call in occasionally if she's up to it like she did at Epiphany's memorial.

I think saying something like "this white lady gets out while innocemt black folks rot on death row" would be an apt argument in reality. To say she got out because her still living target was black is reeeeeaal gross. Don't try to get political, GH.

I just can't believe it will be so easy to get rid of Heather. And if it is, what was the point of this whole story? If she's going away keep her in the psych ward instead of sending her to Arizona. More plausible than a vacated sentence for serial murder.

Time wise if anyone should be Sasha's dad it would be Bill Eckert. And he died not long after Holly left the show. But since Bill has no real juice on the current canvas I guess we're getting this hot nonsense. Sasha doesn't need to be tied to a legacy character in the first place. It's all just stupid.

While I was no great fan of the character I am glad Finn is getting his daughter back. Was afraid he was gonna die on the way back to his home planet.

At least the Alex reveal brought some life to that "Stacy" and Cutter in Argentina stuff. I don't understand why GH keeps dropping David Vickers stuff. It never makes sense (Blair doesn't even see him as a sexual being at this point let alone as a partner to cheat with.) And it doesn't bring anything to the GH side. All it does is piss off those of us who still care.

Take David Vickers name out ya damn mouth, GH That man hasn't been remotely dangerous since like 1994.

They can't be planning on making Sasha Robert's kid can they? That's too gross. She and Cody would have the same grandfather. Only Bill Bell would try to pull that off.

Really dislike the idea of Sam dying from complications of an organ donation. Seems irresponsible from the show that gave us BJ/Maxie. Unless we're getting some kind of malpractice story out (Portia?) of it it just feels gross. And that's going to be A LOT of baggage to put on Lulu who is going to wake up to find out her father and aunt are dead as it is. Maybe she'll be hit by a car or something before the surgery but things seem to be moving pretty fast for that.
