I'll have to sit this one out, I don't think my ex's girlfriend would donate part of her liver to me and my insurance definitely would not cover Dr. Gannon to do the surgery!

Oh goodie, are we gearing up for another custody battle? Don’t we already have Sonny and Ava in a custody battle, Molly and Kristina fighting for custody of naming rights over a dead baby, and I’m sure soon enough we’ll have Michael and Willow fighting over who has to take Wiley and what’s her name. Did we really need another one? I mean this show doesn’t even honor the custody wishes of characters who leave the canvas still alive. Wasn’t Violet supposed to live with Elizabeth?

The way Portia says "Nurse Baldwin" makes me want to reach through my screen and throttle her. I've worked at hospitals before that were great places to work and had amazing reputations and then one asshole got put in charge and the whole dynamic shifted and Portia reminds me of one of those assholes. Just the condescension dripping off her voice is insufferable! I hope the nurses go on strike, the hospital gets a lawsuit, and Portia loses her damn medical license for the Heather test results tampering. They can make Brad co-CoS, I don't even care if it doesn't make any sense!

As much I enjoyed seeing Carly get smacked in the flashbacks, I'm glad the flashbacks ended showing the female friendships that have evolved on the show. The earlier flashbacks really highlighted (to me at least because it was a big reason I quit the show for a good while) the misogyny in place at the time and how there were no female friendships, they were all just antagonistic and slapping each other, calling each other trash and whores (usually over Jason or Sonny, and ladies neither one is worth it!). Alexis was awful during the time of the Kristina needs cord blood storyline, and I understand she was a mother with a dying child, but as soon as she found out Sonny was the father of Sam's baby she was pretty relentless in demanding she give birth early. If my recall is correct, Sam was okay with donating the cord blood to save Kristina but wanted to wait until she gave birth naturally. Can you imagine the outrage now if Laura had been screaming at Sam to give up her liver and that if Lulu died it was on her?

I read that it wasn't due to his foot surgery, but I think it was on one of those celebrity rumor sites, so who knows? I liked Ava's talk with Lucas, he's blaming himself like she died on the table because of a mistake he made and that's just not the case. I know Danny yelled at him but he's a kid who's just lost his mom and is going to direct that grief anywhere he can. I think the funeral was well done (a lot of the actors have knocked it out of the park) and I'm glad they didn't cheap out on the flashbacks. Nina, I usually like you but shut up. Lulu opening her eyes as Sam's funeral ended gave me Game of Thrones flashbacks. Is Sam a direwolf?

True, although poor Kin Shriner didn't even get a sendoff at all. I think he just probably figured it out when his parking card got deactivated.

I always thought of Ric as more of a weasel.

I love me a good montage! But I have, well a couple of questions, but I'll keep it to two. 1.) Why were the Irish team still there and suited up after they's already been eliminated? (Yes I know it was for dramatic purposes and the Irish, we love to brawl!) 2.) Why do they dress Sam, a girl from a well to do Southern California family with a smokeshow for a mom, in Garanimals crap I would have demanded my mom put in the Goodwill bin when I was 8?

Go Chozen! Although I watch enough soaps to know he probably should have stuck around to find out who that guy was at Kumiko’s. For all we know she rented out a room in her place as an Airbnb.

Oh I love myself some Cosgrove and he’d be a great addition. For awhile there the poor guy was getting hired on every soap right before it got cancelled, but maybe his time on Days turned that around. He could play a renowned surgeon, a lawyer, a WSB chief that could tell Brennan to stop chasing tail, a karate sensei (sorry, Cobra Kai just came back and I’m getting my wires crossed). But I would never say no to him on the show!

Jeez, not in the face Jason! Then they'll just plastic surgery story it and recast with Daniel Cosgrove and the show will get cancelled for sure! (Although DC actually could make Drew a decent character again).

I don't mind Gio as a concept and the actor is likeable enough, but every time he says "Uncle Sonny" I find it incredibly grating. Also, whenever he talks about Sonny it sounds like preschooler making up stories, "My Uncle Sonny is the best Uncle Sonny! Did you know he invented bean bag chairs, was the real author of the Harry Potter series and was supposed to play Mary Corleone in 'The Godfather III' but had to drop out because he had the flu????". And I know that Lois isn't supposed to be a subtle character but she's projecting so loudly that Something.Is.Going.On. that she pretty much has the bat signal on her on forehead.

I’m voting puppy for Sasha! I remember the times when SWSNBN was occasionally bearable only because she was sharing screen time with a Golden Retriever.

Does anyone really need a reason to hate Drew?

I'm not sure if I'm up for a Brad and Lucas redux, but I like Brad and PS brings more life into his scenes, even if it's just dropping off donuts, than a good portion of the characters who get regular screentime (Portia, Curtis, Drew).

Michael’s elaborate revenge plots usually go the way of my elaborate spaghetti dinner plans when I was in college where I’m planning to simmer a meat and also a vegetarian sauce all day and it’s going to be epic, and by 2pm I’m drunk on the floor asking if the pasghetti is okay and who brought wine? And I hate comparing myself to Michael in any way!

Did anyone think they were gonna kill Sasha right on the heels of Sam’s death? Anyone? Show of hands? I would really love for this show to have a good entertaining villain, someone like Carlo Hesser comes to mind. The problem with this show is we’ve turned the guys who should be villains into heroes (Robert, the DA, waxing on about how Jason would save Sasha made me want to vomit) so the villains have to be super extra mustache twirly. I know Alexis is grieving, so I’ll give her a pass, but the decisions on where the kids should live doesn’t have to be made this second and the kids are old enough to have a say in that too. If we have Sasha, Willow, and BLQ all pregnant at the same time, I’m going to have to watch through my fingers as I fear how this show will have that play out. Two of the characters have already lost babies post-birth and I just don’t find baby switch stories entertaining, especially in an age where a DNA test can quickly be done.

Of all the ways that Willow could have comforted Drew she decided on Eddie Fisher style.

Yeah Sasha and Cody addressed all the near misses and interruptions they had as a good thing once they found out they were related. Although I could still care less.

When Scout was asking who would take her to school, I halfway expected Drew to ask her where she went to school. I know it’s weird that she hasn’t been onscreen, but shhhh….don't summon the meatball monster. Then we’ll have to hear, “This is so tragic, it’s like when my cousin Maria Theresa Angelica Luisa Giulia Isabella Violetta Francesca perished while saving nuns from a fire and we made a beautiful mascarpone cake!”

Argh GH writers!! Cardiac arrest and a heart attack are not the same thing! A simple google search could have told them this. I know it’s a common mistake, but it’s a pet peeve of mine. Jason of all people actually explained it more correctly when he said her heart stopped (maybe he’s having Jason Q flashbacks of med school). Good job with the acting today as the fallout from Sam’s death is happening but I really wish they would get her down to the morgue, or to the Cassadine’s deep freeze lab.

I do wonder if Sam’s dive will come into play somehow because it can cause body changes. My mom’s high school boyfriend was a diver and went diving before his first medical exam for the draft for Vietnam. He failed (for hearing)and realized later it was because he went diving the day before and subsequently failed all draft medical exams for Vietnam because he intentionally went diving the day before.

I would hope not for KeMo’s sake but also too, I would have to imagine in real life after 2 days of goodbyes, by the time it got to Molly it would be like, “I’m really going to miss you Sam, but I have to leave now because this room is starting smell like a port-o-let on the last day of Burning Man”. It seems really vindictive to do the character and actress this way. If it had become an untenable workplace situation then there were other ways to handle it. They could have just had Sam leave town or recast. I guess I can at least be thankful they didn’t give her the Alice Barrett treatment when JFP wanted to write her off AW. I think I still have trauma flashbacks about that episode for what they did to poor Frankie!

I like Cody as well, at least I like the actor in most things I've seen him in, and he has a good dynamic with Mac and good sibling chem with Maxie (and maybe they can bring in his sister Serena at some point). Plus, he doesn't like Drew so that puts him in good company! Drew is just so unlikeable, even when he was trying to "apologize" and explain how blackmail works to Willow he was coming off as a pompous jackass, "Willow I would have told you but I didn't have a chance and I had no choice! I was right!!". Ummm, yeah there was the choice of telling Ned and Tracy yes, then giving Willow a heads up (if he gave a crap about her feelings which I don't believe he does) and still having time to spare for takesies backsies. I mean they weren't exactly holding the vote for CEO right at that very minute were they Douchey McManSplain?

Michael's such a drama queen! Banging your wife's best friend because she kissed someone else is like driving your car off a bridge because you don't like the song on the radio. It's a hysterical overreaction, but Michael's a controlling douche so it's not surprising that this would send him off the rails. I mean look at the stellar examples of the coping skills possessed by the adults he was surrounded with when he was growing up, and that explains a lot of it right there.
