I think I got so used to all the Padme decoys in the prequels that I just assumed that Benjamin Bratt was a decoy Bail and that’s why Mon was so loudly addressing him so as to keep up the ruse, which honestly didn’t make a whole lot of sense as a lot of people there would know Bail Organa, but I hadn’t seen any casting spoilers.

Well he doesn’t deal in guns, drugs, or human trafficking, so I’ve always assumed he’s smuggling in quality poutine and Toronto Raptors jerseys from Canada.

Oh this was such a good time period for the show (even if I'm annoyed now that Lulu survived). Despite all later terrible writing to the contrary, Luke loved his family. JJ was amazing even as wee Lucky. Also hello shirtless 90's Kevin!

I have some former co-workers that work there and I’d ask but pretty sure their response would be, “General Whoospital?” and also I’d have to admit to watching this show.

Everyone must say good things about Mo and Sonny and also I would imagine GF likes working with Mo because it guarantees screen time. I remember the years when it seemed like security teams at the GH studios carried around a picture of GF with standing orders to never let her near the studio even if she was 5 miles away and just glancing in the general direction.

They're really pushing this Laura and Sonny as dear old friends narrative lately. I wonder when the writer who wrote Valentin and Brennan calling themselves "old friend" every 5 seconds will start in with that here. And yes Laura, being besties with the local mob boss is not a good look and neither is the, "whateva, whateva, I do want I want!" attitude about it. So nothing about Elizabeth or Ric today other than the brief update from Laura? Why bother having them in a life-threatening accident if there's no drama to it? I mean Kristina's not even calling her dad to try and cover her ass for what she did. It's all going to get handwaved away like Jagger's murder isn't it? I thought noted bigot Natalia's backstory on her son was he some kind of singer and pulled away from her because she was too involved in his career. So is he a singing lawyer? Or are there more kids and NBN and Sidwell's family are all going to come on eat the show like the Rappaports on OLTL? I don't care what Emma did, obviously she wouldn't be walking around if she killed anyone or blew up a building so it's probably going to end up being super boring and along the lines of, "everyone does dumb shit in college so just do it then and don't wait around until you're Kristina's age".

Our hospital did pizza for the nurses at super inconvenient times for the nurses to run to the cafeteria to get pizza (plus the pizza was terrible). I'm so glad to hear that Sonny respects the hell out of Monica after he murdered one of her sons and groomed the other one to be a hitman. So no mention of Liz? I mean her grandparents were pillars of the hospital and she's head nurse but nothing? Seriously? When Mac grabbed Tracy's shoulder during the unveiling I have a feeling that was an unscripted friendship moment between JJY and JE and it was awesome! I hope whatever shot Donna was getting was a booster for whatever terrible outbreak we have next.

Aww NuEmma made me a little teary today with her speech. I'mma blame that on a.) the history callback and b.) perimenopause. Wouldn't Cody have been 86'd from Charlie's for punching out the bartender? I've known people who have gotten banned from bars for far less (although granted they weren't characters on a soap opera with limited amounts of sets). Lucky needs to prioritize Liz and not keep Kristina's secret mainly because I'm enjoying L&L2 redux and it's one of the few things I do enjoy on this show and I don't want to see it blown to hell. Plus did Dum Dum even bother looking to see if there were security cams in the garage? Also, she would have had her phone on her so GPS would show she wasn't in the stock room at Charlie's all day (why yes, I have been doing a rewatch of L&O SVU lately!) Glad this crypt storyline has come to a conclusion since it was unbelievably gross. Now let's get JE in some good stories (and by good stories I don't mean the Gio reveal). I would really love if they could bring in big sister Skye to meet and then promptly wipe the floor with Drew. One of her more redeeming qualities is she's never given a bucket of turds about Jason so I'm pretty sure she would absolutely loathe Drew. Plus Lila Rae would be the right age group for the younger set and bring more Q's onto the canvas.

I was watching completely unrelated videos on YouTube this evening and then this started playing. And not only am I so angry that Tony Jones was the doctor who helped save Jason, but Good Lord was every actor onscreen so great during this storyline (SK was really awesome).

Just watched the entire week of episodes and boy oh boy am I never making that mistake again! This week had way too much Kristina for starters and I hate Kristina. I wouldn't mind a retcon where it turns out she just had a phantom pregnancy and there never was an Irene/Adela. Or a whole Bobby Ewing in the shower type of retcon is fine too as long as I don't have to hear about MyDaughter anymore. I love Gen Z stepping up for Tracy. Were Ric and Elizabeth driving down a mountain or in some other scenario wherein stepping off the accelerator wouldn't at least slow the car down? Liz and Lucky were adorable and good use of flashbacks, but with the talk about the lack of good chicken parm in PC my headcannon is now that the chicken parm at Pozzulo's really sucks but no one wants to tell Sonny.

I like Daniel Cosgrove, yeah he has had the misfortune of coming onboard to shows while they’re on life support, but he’s also one of those actors that can polish a turd from crap writing and make an unlikable character likable. Plus I’m happy to have another actor in that age group on the show!

I'm sure no one noticed that Gio's supposed mom wasn't pregnant, I mean it's Bensonhurst, so according to this show everyone was too busy playing bingo, making pasta fazool, or preparing for a life in the bidness. I've had splinters that took longer to remove than the time that Carly's life-threatening poisoning lasted. Great, so now any time Sonny sees Carly and Brennan together we'll have to hear, "he's with her 'cause he's tryna git ta me!!". The same way he thinks everyone does anything because they're trying to get to him, like any time Ava wants to see her daughter, Sidwell rubs his hands in glee, Drew makes a face, or Ric cuts a fart it's because Sonny literally has the mentality of a 12-year-old mean girl who assumes everyone does everything because of them.

I haven't drank cocktails or hard liquor since my early 20's but I can't believe Lucas was already closing out because he had too much to drink and proceeded to have 2-3 more drinks and then didn't end the evening by calling his mom's old cell phone number to hear her outgoing voicemail message while sobbing and falling asleep on the floor of a bathroom stall while half covered in vomit. Telling his life story to a complete stranger does track though although I maintain that any of the above is still better than raising Wiley.

If Drew gets murdered on the McConkey Esplanade, with all it’s proposed shopping and restaurants, I really hope he gets shanked outside of a Hot Topic or Red Lobster.

Oh yeah the antiserum story where Tracy stole a vial for Edward and he gave it to Emma and Tracy declared that if a Quartermaine stole something it was theirs to give away. Was that also the outbreak storyline where Tracy had mad chemistry and what could have been a romance with Joe Jr. but he’d already been revealed as Kate’s rapist from their teenage years and the character sacrificed on the altar of Sonny so it never would have worked?
