    I haven't  watched all week.  Every recap makes me feel sick.   If they hate Nina or Cynthia so much  why not write her off the show?  Because they want to use her to fluff their pets.  Same as  it ever was, except this time I happen to love the character.  So that's one week I've lapsed.  What would bring me back?  Not more of this I can tell you that.  I  may be done for good.  They'd have to rewrite Nina, and I don't think they want to.  I think someone(s) have their hands down their pants there writing this  stuff.  Or it's ABC, which means Nathan, and I don't believe for one moment he cares enough to agenda direct things  this way.  I don't understand it, but then I remember what they did to AJ.  What they did to Julian.  All for the benefit of their little pets.  And I'm sure there were others.  So it is what it is.  The show is not for me at this time. 

    Does anyone here watch Days?  Should I start watching that?  Or Bold?

    Just stop watching.  I was done with this show when they fired Roger Howarth.  It was freeing.  I check in every now and then and just be on my way.  I saw the hate sex on Twitter.  Hot?  I don’t think so.  The way his shirt just flew open — that was ridiculous.  I’ve never rolled my eyes so hard except for someone claiming that it’s not Korte’s fault when it so obviously is.

    Then again I am a bit of a Mary Sue for PM specifically myself so I may be seeing what I want to see.

    That’s it.

    I highly doubt PM is taking a second position to Elizabeth Korte. But I also know people have been crediting Korte with everything they don't like on GH since before the Iraq War, and I've rarely heard any of that backed up by her own statements or clearly attributable facts. I'm not saying you're wrong; it is entirely possible Liz Korte is the biggest Carly fan on the face of the Earth and has written everything that's made the character worse or diminished, but there have been a lot of writers on staff between now and the year 2000. And I just tend to think the truth can be a lot more nuanced, especially with someone who IIRC was at the show before Carly existed. So I am going to give her a chance to show me who she is as a writer as opposed to being the third name on the writers' roll who I often feel the fans have simply projected a lot onto.

    If it is said everywhere that that woman is in love with and obsessed with Carly, then it must be true.

    Very UO here, but I can’t wait for the Spencer character (annoying as all heck) to go and don’t care that the actor who portrays him (with a strong overacting tendency), is leaving.

    He’s so overrated.

    So do I. It's also a dangerous precedent for ABC/Disney to rehire people who did not comply with a contract -- for any reason. And, long before the pandemic there was icky stuff with Burton.

    The money is better spent elsewhere. I think FV will do everything he can to keep ME employed before cutting him as I think ME's options are very limited, but CM may have read the tea leaves...

    What's fascinating is I do not see the sort of clamoring one might expect on X. I don't think Burton's following is anywhere near what it was, just sentimentality for his past ships.  

    Frank will never let him go.  He’s like, the ultimate favorite.

    Chad Duell has also won. I'll just leave it at that.

    I think he earned that Emmy.  He won for when Michael held the gun on Sonny after he found out that Sonny killed AJ.

    Anyway.  Jon Lindstrom was robbed.  And it was probably his last chance since they killed Ryan and all.

  6. Xochitl was set up to win from the very beginning.  Disney, Marvel, ABC connections.  Going on the tour.  Let’s even throw in paired with Val.  It was obvious that she was going to win.

    You got the obvious winner, the nonsense and racism towards Charity — I’m just glad that this season is over.

    Is Austin still bleeding out on the floor of his home? No one missed him? It's been a week (although not in show time).

    And this is why it was wrong to kill Austin.  Who’s going to care about him being dead?  He had no friends.  He was supposed to be a Quartermaine but they blew that up.  Who is going to care?

    Plus, are they really going to go the murder mystery route with this?  Nobody cared about him.  What is the point?

    Should we start the countdown clock for Days snatching him up? 

    I hope he doesn’t go there because one, that show is garbage.  I quit that show a long time ago.  And two, I don’t have Peacock.  But I’m sure Ron has already called him.

    It's not cliche at all yet unfortunately because there's a dark-skinned Black girl in it. The amount of Dark-skinned Black girls getting laid on soaps (not mixed or light-skinned Black Girls) is behind minimal. Not to mention I loved that this was sort of Spencer's vengeance against Rory, hardly the motivation but he is petty like that it was a nice full circle that NYC is where he chose to take her and even the hand-positioning was a callback. To see a Black Girl wined, dined and romanced like this hasn't happened enough on soaps to be cliche but I sure hope we get to that point one day.

    I also want to compliment whoever was responsible for the lighting since dark skin is so often lit terribly on soaps and other shows and they did a great job here to let TA's luminous skin shine.

    I’m Black and that whole nonsense meant nothing to me.  Not a big thing.

    I thought it was beautiful and sweet too.  And on a shallow note I thought they both looked amazing.  When Trina took off her dress I was like, damn girl!  She looked amazing.  And NAC shirtless?  Well, I am always down for that.  I have no complaints now that it's finally happened.  

    He’s taken his shirt off a gang of times now.  Did you miss those episodes?

    Anyway.  I didn’t watch the love scene and I won’t because love scenes are awkward.  Especially with these two who have no chemistry and don’t know how to kiss.

    How did Trina fall upwards into Spencer's arms?  She wasn't on a ten foot ladder where a fall would land her on the person beneath her.  It was a two step step stool ladder type.  She falls she ends up on the floor not on someone else.  So dumb.  

    They wanted you to swoon and think that scene was romantic.

    Did Dex ever actually know anything about the flash drive with the fake info?  I know he was watching Betty and left her alone in the penthouse to look around, but I can't remember if Sonny gave him all of the details.

    Jake and Charlotte ain't blood related, so I guess that's cool.  Although, wasn't Charlotte supposed to be the same age as Aiden?  They were in the same class during that bullying story a few years back.  I guess they have the Jake actor available so it's easier to use him.

    Now I realize that Jake is dating his brother's former school bully lol.

    That’s where I’m at.  I’m like, “but she bullied your brother”.  In reality, he shouldn’t want anything to do with her.  I wouldn’t date anyone who bullied my siblings.

    I just think he looks and acts more like one of Sonny's goons than a man who grew up with every privilege imaginable. He doesn't come across as distinguished IMO, which is what Prince Nikolas Cassadine should be. YMMV of course :)

    Well, I disagree and you could’ve just explained it that way.  The only Nikolas that had that had the whole princely air about him was Tyler.  But he’s never coming back.

    That was several layers of HAWT!!  DZ has been knocking it out of the park, first with all the Dante/Anna scenes and the Dante/Charlotte scene when he took her to see Lulu.  still don't understand why he's not leading man.  

    Height; Frank doesn’t care for him very much…

    There's really no chemistry anymore between Spencer and Trina. 

    There really wasn’t any in the first place.

    It’s long been time for roger to go. And this third character of Austin that’s a flop definitely shows that they are just keeping him around because he’s a friend of Frank and not because the character is needed. Nikolas is a legacy character who has ties to everyone on canvas. If anyone should be on screen it should be him.

    Roger Howarth isn’t the reason why Nikolas isn’t on screen.  And he totally isn’t a friend of Frank.

    I don't really think there is anything wrong with showing virginal heroines though  (or someone being really sexual, without having sex).  (it's not really towards you, i know there have been a crap tonne of comments of the lack of sex/sexual advances on the Sprina (etc). but both can work.  but I mean - for me I like that there are two relationships going on and one is about the smut (even though i hate Jex) and one is a very slow burn in Sprina. or in general 

    But their fans are obsessed with them having sex, demanding for them to have a love scene.  Creepily obsessed.  I don’t understand.  What are they expecting to see?  Why does it have to happen NOW?  I don’t get it.

    I really don't fucking get it. Interracial relationships have been common since the 90's. Hell, the president of the United States for 8 years and the current hot starlet of the moment are both biracial. I work at a movie theater and I see so many biracial kids walking around as well. It's not a big deal at all. I don't get why it's still getting treated like one.

    Maybe some people are sick of seeing that.  Maybe some people think it’s an agenda being forced down their throats.  Or maybe — and this is the big one — people are just overreacting.

    That certain fanbase is always crying about something.  Now, they’re writing essays on Twitter like the network will actually listen to them.  Why don’t they waste money on another plane or billboard for their tears.

  18. Meh.  Like I said, I don’t think he’s all that great anyway.  But it’s Ryan Murphy so he’s…yeah.  Guess they’ll be throwing a real Emmy at him soon enough and his head will get even bigger.

    Will be funny to see how they write him out if he leaves.  Are they going to recast or will Spencer and Trina ride off into the sunset?

    And why does he look better in that picture with that article than he does on the show?

    Austin and Tracy measuring swords would be fun.

    It's such a waste in terms of storytelling. It's like they used Austin's association for a plot point and then dropped Austin from the family entirely. When Drew Cane and Michael Corinthos are the scions of the Quartermaine family and its leading figures, the family tree is in trouble.

    According to the story, weren’t Jimmy Lee and Edward on the verge of making up or whatever and Tracy stopped that by intercepting letters or something?  I’m sure Austin and Tracy would have some words for each other but we’ll never see it.  They dropped Austin from the family entirely. Why introduce him as a Quartermaine and then not use it?  Such a waste.
