Oh no......can you imagine the wailing that Felix will subject us to? It's bad enough that they gave this doofus a speaking role, but now, oh God, he'll be emoting all over the place. If it is Lucas, then I guess we have Felix as the vocal replacement for Sabrina while she's gone. WHY can't someone shoot Felix??? Anytime anywhere anytime would be fine with me. I think Felix must be my punishment for hating Spinelli all these years. Who knew there would be a character even worse??

I loved all of your post, but this part has got me laughing and I don't think I'll be able to stop. A more perfect description of Brady I don't think I've ever read. And with the image it gives of him, and Maggie with the big Dynasty hair, well, all I can say is that your post is deserving of the Hall of Fame.

I don't know why FauxLuke doesn't just hang a sign around his neck saying "just kidding, I'm NOT LUKE", with how obvious he is. Talking to Alexis the way he did, and then that leering comment to TJ about how hot is mother is was just so stupid. Besides him resembling the clown from IT with his red lips and fishbelly complexion, he acts so imappropriately and says such stupid things that he makes a very unconvincing mob boss. But then again, this is the show that gave us Sonny Corinthos as a kingpin....

As so many of you have already mentioned, it's a bit difficult to get past the absurdity of having Hope run the investigation. Considering they would barely allow Roman to even attend Sami's trial, having Hope run the show seems sort of ridiculous. And she sure has no problem giving Cousin Lucas a hard time. She practically calls him a killer, but when she was interviewing Abigail, that wench she called "honey" throughout the interview. Also, I don't know how long I can listen to Hope in her "cop voice".

She's probably afraid that Julie will toss her in the grave with Nick if she doesn't. Can you imagine the wailing??

LOL! I think you can yodel in there.

I don't like Epiphany at all. I think she's bossy and interfering and intimidating for no other reason than she can. I know the show isn't a showcase of realism, but all I see is a bully who works out her own issues by verbally beating up on others. That Mr. Marbles thing was the end. I wish Mac had smacked her one for that. Then, they have her coming on to Milo.....I admire the actor and feel bad for what they make her do, because the character could be a solid supporting character. Instead, she fulfills Ron C.'s need for ......something, although I don't have a clue what that is. Now, if she actively hated Felix and persecuted HIM, and Sabrina, shallow person that I am, I'd probably give her a pass. But picking on Mac is beyond the pale.

LOL, Rick, if ever a thread were needed, this is it! I still have brain freeze from whatever the hell that paisley print outfit from hell was that Jennifer was wearing. I almost felt sorry for Dirty Dan, seeing that the love of his life was dressed like an escapee from the Atlantic City Boudoir of Love Boutique. I'm convinced that primary reason he wanted to her get out of that outfit and into bed as the show ended on Friday was so he could stop from having to see that horror. And for once, I don't mean Jennifer - at least not directly.

Huh? Waa? Sonny has a CODE? I suppose he has one for his ATM, and probably one for the lockbox he keeps his private collection of Victoria Secret panties in, but he sure as fluk does NOT have a moral code of any sort. I actually rewound the show to listen to that moron Shawn expound on this so-called "code" - twice - cuz I couldn't quite believe my ears. And that meant that not only did I have to listen to that empty-headed doofus Shawn - GAWD HE IS AN IDIOT - scold Sonny for breaking the "code". And then I had to listen to Sonny's voice get all high-pitched like he does when he's trying to make a point - while Duke, who usually is 300 times smarter than those two when he's asleep, seeming to actually believe and accept this so-called "code". Good Lord.....I guess this was supposed to be some deep, heartfelt moral lesson being dispensed by Thuggy Moobster Shawn and Oil of Olay Sonny - and it hurt my ears. Someone drop a house on these two STAT. On an unrelated note - Anthony Geary SUCKS. Full disclosure, I never liked the character or the actor much. Never saw any charm or humor even back in the "golden" days. But he just gets worse and worse, and this FakeLuke is his worst acting turn yet. His Jean Harlow blonde fluffy bangs, his Jungle Red lips, his Pillsbury Doughboy complexion and his third trimester pregnancy shirts along with his continually petulant tone make him the most unbelievable mob boss since Sonny hit town. How the hell William DeVry can play opposite this guy - or MB for that matter, and not either burst into uncontrollable laughter or despairing tears at who he has to work with is beyond me. One more thing - this is not Nickolas' shining hour either. He was pitching a hissy fit with Liz because she's moving out that is worthy of that little shit Spencer. And Liz - could she get more smug??

I so wish the killer had kept a couple of bullets for those Deveraux hags. For GOD'S SAKE, first we have Sally Sunshine in the Plaid Pants who JUST CAN'T BELIEVE what happened. How could she not just believe, when she just escaped from a crazy guy?? Of course then she has to go immediately into her suspicions about Dan and Nicole. What a snake. She treats friends and men friends like crap, but with a SMILE on her two-faced mug. Then we've got Hagitha Jr., the horny one, who stalks EJ at his office, his gym, practically his kid's sandbox, but now that it's over, acts like she's Mother Teresa catching him looking up her bloomers. And acting all shocked that EJ might have had Nick killed. WHO DID SHE THINK SHE WAS SCREWING? ANYWAY?? I really hate them both. It doesn't help that CopVoice Hop and Julie and Maggie think that both Jennifer and Abigail crap out unicorns and rainbows. I know I really do enjoy this show in a soap way, because in the privacy of my own home, every time somebody - like Ben did with Abigail and Eric did with Jennifer, telling them they're really GOOD PEOPLE, I yell "NO THEY'RE NOT" at the screen. This is unlike me muttering ugly things at the screen when Sonny or Luke are onscreen with GH, or when Count Chocula is onscreen with Y&R and I just have a gag reflex. Nicole is approaching lost cause territory. I too have loved her on occasion, but right now she's just too dumb and desperate for words. Where's the strong sarcastic slightly deranged Nicole I love?? COME BACK!!

I bet it comes with a full page spread of Ron C., tastefully naked, stretched out on a bearskin rug. This is a must-buy item. Not.

YES YES YES to your post. I can't stand Lyn Herring either. Lucy Coe was an unlamented character to me while she was gone. But she keeps sticking around like gas after bad food. And just as entertaining. I appreciate that the woman portraying Dr. O. is talented. But, for me, it's impossible to take a cartoon character villian and then inject that villian with mommy issues and expect me to care. She's not Lila Quartermaine - she's a looney tune. This is where Ron C. would do best to restrain himself. He can't write himself of this corner. He decided to take Frau Blucher from "Young Frankenstein" and stick her in General Hospital. He can't change her into "I Remember Mama" NOW and think it will float. And that hair on Levi.....it must be a wig. Either that, or he's transporting an Irish setter on his head just like Mitt did on the top of his car.

I don't know if he dyes his hair or if he just slaps on a dollop of shoe polish every morning. Ronn Moss looks like the before picture for Debbie Boone in LifeStyle Lift. They really should warn us before doing a closeup of the guy. For a second I thought my tv had tuned into The Walking Dead. I so agree. I don't like disliking children, but GH these days has me thinking Scrooge had it right. Spencer is like this tiny Hannibal Lector. Him telling Britt they should discuss things over "an adult beverage" was painful to hear. He's not cute - he's a creepy little hypersexual psychopath. Not that there's anything WRONG with that...... Ron C. is so in love with his own humor. Too bad none of it is even remotely funny.

YES to all you wrote, LeftPhalange. Kate was great, just great. Her "oh please get on with it" look as Nick gasped his last in the Square was only matched by her chattyKathy conversation at the Pub with Maggie, talking about Ally, but neglecting to mention that it was Nick who got shot. And finally Rafe's slllllllllllllllllloooooooooooowwwwwwwwwww reactions were appropriate. I swear Julie's screams caused several cats in my neighborhood to start mating, she screeched so loud. That moment was pure degenerate MAGIC. She had that "done now, borrrrrrrrring" look, and then, that glance at her nails NAILED it. Count on Kate not to bother to fake it - anywhere. I agree. She had a good day last Friday, talking to Nick, reminiscing about her days as the "bad girl" of Salem. Nice touch to remind folks of not only her history, but of the shows history too. IMO that was the best use they've made of her in some time. And I agree that it's nice to have her around. It would be even nicer if they used her in better ways. She's a good actress. One thing I really appreciate about Days is that it still has an appreciable presence of older actors, and a definite multigenerational family structure, which is missing in large part on the other remaining shows, at least to this extent. I got a kick out of Maggie and Hope and Julie talking over Nick's body, as if this all happened out of the blue. These were the three people who were supposed to be his support system and they barely saw him. Dragging Gabi in there with them was almost funny, considering how little she wanted to go. BTW, I bet she's the shooter.

I like MCE too. I liked her on AMC when they first brought her on, then they ruined the character so Rebecca Budig's character Greenlee would get a boost. I thought she did a great job there under difficult circumstances - being paired with Ryan Lavery was NO treat. I didn't care much one way or the other when she came to Y&R, but lately I've been enjoying the character more. My UO - and I didn't like thinking this - but my feeling for Katherine Chancellor diminished in those late years when she seemed to exist mostly as an apologist for Victor and a cheerleader for Nikki, at the expense of characters who should have meant much more to her. It's only thanks to Jeanne Cooper's decades worth of fabulous work that I didn't end up disliking Katherine completely. My other UO - or maybe it's not so much, I don't know......is that I miss Judith Chapman. Whatshisname, Jeffrey, HE I could do without. But her I miss.

This show has become a parody of a soap and it's actually a little painful to watch. We've lost so many shows - and some pretty good ones, so to see the remaining ABC soap made into a joke, to see characters made into caricatures, and to see cartoon characters hog up screen time is as sad as it is infuriating. Whoever it is that plays Dr. O, yeah, she's got some talent, I suppose, underneath all the ham - all the ham that's written for her by Ron C. But characters like this always worked best in small doses. And she's the main course most weeks. Frankly I can't stand her. I'd take Woody the Super Detective over her, just because I can take bad acting over the parody of GH that she represents. But wait...he's her son, and she's his MUTTER. GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH. I wonder why Ron C. is doing this. He did some bad stuff on OLTL, that's for sure - the Ford brothers - and he's always had a weakness for admiring his own humor - but what he's done on GH is so beyond anything he did on OLTL. I'm not finding anything funny on GH anymore. It just makes me sad, and sadder still to see the show brought so low and so disrespected by a writer who I thought knew better. What a mess.

Bang Bang Pop Fizz oh what a relief it is! Nick has finally been shot. That was a very nice appearance by Susan Seaforth Hayes as Julie - could use more of her in that mode - but too little too late for Fish Lips Fallon. His last minute reconsideration of his skullduggery was a bit too little a whole lot too late. Of course, even with three bullets in him, he managed to drag his ass so he could collapse in Horton Square and probably get blood all over that inexplicably clean cloth-covered couch that sits outside in all kinds of weather. It sure would be nice if Abigail was the one who shot him, but I don't think her aim would be that good unless she was mounting him for sex. Now we only have to worry about how long Show will take to let him die. I can only hope. But I'm afraid all that talk of redemption might mean he lives. WHY aim for his heart when one shot to those lips would have ended it??

Me too. And she is an excellent crier. I know Nicole has a list of transgressions a mile long, but I generally enjoy the character and the actress a lot. I dislike how stupid they've made her - and how desperate - with Eric. Eric is a nice enough guy but he's not in her league at all. I can't think of a character in Salem who is, though.

Oh, from your lips to God's ear! She is just so awful. She was all over EJ like ticks on a deer and then turns around and blames him?? She does come by that delusional hypocrisy and annoying moral superiory naturally, though, considering that she's Jenn's daughter. And there is no-one currently in Salem who is a bigger judgemental hypocrite than her. Abigail is definitely the heir apparent there. JJ should seriously reconsider his new girlfriend, if for no other reason that Jenn "approves" of her. That automatically makes her suspicious in my book. LOL! That is too funny, and I'm afraid, possibly too true. I hope that doesn't mean we'll have to listen to Julie scream for three days too. The audience doesn't deserve that kind of punishment.

I doubt if this is a shocker to anyone, as it's been announced that Justin Gaston who plays Ben is being replaced by Robert Scott Wilson in the role of Ben. What did mildly surprise me was the reason. There was a rumor a while back that a recent DOOL hire was really busy alienating everyone, cast and crew, on DOOL and would soon be replaced. Supposedly, it's Gaston who turned out to be a real pain in the ass, criticizing crew on lighting, and going after co-stars he felt better than. The guy is pretty, no doubt about that - but his opinion of himself, IMO, is NOT justified by what we've seen onscreen. Not bad, but nothing to write home about. I'm glad that Wilson is taking over. He started out pretty stiff IMO on the AMC reboot but had gotten much better by the end.

Agreed! I like Will but I wouldn't want to have to depend too much on his good sense. Though Nick is so infuriating I think I might have been yelling at the tv screen there for a second. I hope EJ's hitman doesn't feel the need to indulge in a soliloquy before blowing Fish Lips away. I sorta wish they could a "Murder on the Orient Express" thing with Nick and give everyone a chance at him. Do you not love Gabi - GABI, or all people, being exasperated with Jordan because of her keeping important secrets? I swear her brains must leak out of that balloon she calls a brain on a daily basis.

Now you all gotta be feelng sorry for Shawn, right? He's the next Olivia, but that big lug just doesn't see, same as she didn't, that Sonny will cheat on him the same way he did on her. Gosh, it hurts, HURTS, I tell you, to see how his face lights up when Sonny walks in the room, how he just shines around him - that special glow, you know? - but Sonny will break his heart too. Poor Shawn, guy can't hit it with either a gun or his heart.

I really can't stand Lucy Coe. Never could, never will. I do not see the charm - at all. And I can't believe that Kevin wouldn't gladly hand her over to Henery Hawk aka Beak Baldwin in a heartbeat. Hell, I think he'd hand deliver her just to not have to hear her squawk and flap and run around like Gladys Kravitz on crack. I thought the Nurse's Ball was largely a bust last year, with a few exceptions. This year I don't think there will even be that. LUCY SHUT UP. I'd rather listen to Mr. Mumbles - and I don't mean the dummy. Oh, wait, I DO mean the dummy.

I don't know if he's crazy or just mean as a snake, but he sure has the Horton self-pity down pat. Everyone bent over backwards to give this turd a second chance when he first got out of prison. Hell, Maggie basically choose HIM over her granddaughter. Of course, it was probably an easy decision, considering that granddaughter was Melanie, but still...... Poor Lil' Abigail looks like she's being strangled by that bun right now. Having Nick call her a whore must have really shocked her, especially since that's her mom's nickname. Whatever with Nick, it's to the point that I want to shoot him. Couldn't happen to a bigger jackass. On a completely unrelated note, why, every time Dan "gets an idea" - like he did today when he found that Dr. Chyka note - does he look like he just did a little poopy in his panties? He so does NOT look like a brainiac surgeon.

THIS. Of all the lamebrained moves Ron C. has made this remains the worst. In so many ways. And saddling Roger Howarth with this character has damaged the actors rep IMO. At least it has with me. I know everybody has to make a living and soap livings are tight these days. But this is the same guy who stepped away from his OLTL character, Todd Manning, because he disliked what he saw as his character being excused for the rape he committed. And now he's playing one again, difference is, this one is a KUTE KWIPTSTER. Gaaaah.
