The "Love in the Afternoon" promo is more like "Crazy Serial Killers in the Afternoon" for me and I am good with that lol.

I have been enjoying GH the past two days and I realized it's for two reasons. 1) Ryan Chamberlain. Never not funny. GIVE HIM A HAND. I need more Ryan/Kevin shenanigans. 2) The storylines ARE ACTUALLY MOVING FORWARD. It baffles me how the writers relish dragging things out. The faster storytelling really makes the show better. There is an urgency when things are actually happening, and that makes me want to watch instead of fast forward, because I'm afraid I'll miss something good. Usually I fast forward probably half the show.

Chinatown

I was kind of surprised he went with the married guy with kids who is least likely to move to crap hole Atlantic City, but the minute he said his restaurant folded during COVID, I had him pegged as the winner. It was an arc that made sense.

Christine Ha, winner of S3, is 2023 James Beard Award semifinalist for Outstanding Chef. She was a finalist last year for Best Chef (Texas). https://www.jamesbeard.org/blog/the-2023-james-beard-awards-semifinalists

I love when they have her hair curly, it suits her so well. I also wish they'd go back to Portia's curly hair, I miss it.

I expected that to happen after she answered the door and I was actually mad to still see him on the floor lol.

It is CRAZY how we went from one of the best All Stars seasons ever, to THIS.

I am still pissed about how they did Lucas and Brad after the Wiley thing was revealed. There was SO MUCH they could have explored and it became all about Michael. I really miss Lucas (Ryan Carnes).

Technically Nina should maybe match by half - and only ever half. A sibling is always the best candidate for a match. Which means Back From The Dead Nelle should be showing up soon.

The French boy was played by Jophielle Love's (Violet's) brother Gabriel. I did love Sasha's "I'm your fake sister" lol.

I want them to go DARK with Willow. She grew up in a cult with a crazy mother, was a stolen baby, sexually assaulted in the cult, stalked her own (thought it was hers) baby, lost her baby, had her maternity hidden from her ... I mean, it's right there! Bring on the PTSD and psychosis!

It'll be on Crave Jan 6, 9:30ET/6:30PT.

I thought the hook on the boat and the hook on the pier looked like different people. Boat hook looked like a man while pier hook looked like a woman to me. It would make me laugh if Heather and Ryan have been sneaking out of the hospital to kill people - Ryan with a hook for a hand lol.

The GH writers are much better at wacky shows. I enjoy the corny humour and actually laughed out loud when Sasha and Britt showed up. I also liked that Elizabeth acknowledged the surrogate parents she's gained in Port Charles. She has managed to have a good group of older adults around her. I can't believe all this time for Jeff to come back and ... that's it?

My new theory is Sarah Abbott, Heather's old roomie from the sanitarium, is the Hook acting on Heather's orders.

I'd really love it if the writers would throw a curve ball and have Sonny's special project be he's getting out of mob life. That would screw up Michael's plan and make me happy.

So I just discovered it's supposed to be D'Archam Asylum. Why they went Batmanish for it I'll never know. They've apparently also had a Miscavige Institute lol. According to this page - https://general-hospital.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Locations there are at least 5 psych facilities in Port Charles.

I really, really want Esme to be Kevin and Lucy's. Don't ask me how ... but Avery Pohl and Lynn Herring could totally play mother/daughter. And then Ryan can be Uncle Daddy.

I so identified with Clare breaking down afterwards. That happens to me ALL the time if I have to do something out of my comfort zone. I don't panic in the moment, but I'll have a full on attack after it's over, like I've been saving up all the bad feelings to release when I know I'm not in danger lol. I was glad not to lose the twins, they're my favourites along with Clare and Derek.

That is bugging me so much! I really believe Elizabeth, as a character, would've/should've gone to the police. It seems so odd to me she's fine with a pregnant women being kept hostage with no medical care while wanted by the police and being kept by a man who SHOT HER SISTER.

I also liked that it was mentioned the press is playing a role by pressuring investigation of white women disappearing, but not doing the same for missing Indigenous women - just as they were accusing the gov't/police of not doing enough. It's everyone.

I really expected a "Terry Silver has a terminal disease" ending as well, especially after he ran into Carmen and Johnny at the doctor. Was surprised there wasn't one, but maybe that's what next season is for. I was googling the name Eun and in Korean can mean "silver" lol. And no one and nothing can ever, ever beat General Hospital for ridiculous product placement in an episode. EVER.

Yeah, Austin and Britt are definitely more interesting to me than Maxie and Austin. And I really liked that she finally told someone.

What's annoying me is that with HLA markers and bone marrow transplants, a parent is only going to match half the markers and won't be a good option as a donor. I'd rather see a bone marrow drive which reveals the maternity and ends this dullsville storyline and she can find an unrelated match from the same drive and then we don't have to watch this anymore.
