I don't know anything at all about Kyle, Summer and Harrison or his bio mom but if she was there for him as a mother figure as an infant or toddler, treating her as a co-parent until he's old enough to understand seems like a good thing? Feelings of abandonment can be just as real and hurtful when it's a step-parent who disappears.

Well, we all look better in pictures from 7 years ago but Y&R Sally disappointed me. The harsh makeup doesn't do anything for her. And her hair was softer. Eta: wardrobe was all over the place for her, from casual cute to streetwalker designer chic. 🤷‍♀️ Okay, the image I tried to link to didn't work. Here's a screenshot of one from the B&B fan wiki:

I'm still sad about how that turned out. If the show is still around after they inevitably redeem Valentin a few more times, maybe we'll get lucky.

A lot of people over the years have referred to the ABC and Disney conglomerate as ABCD - do you think (BBC/D or D+) might be enough? 🤷‍♀️

While I very much would like to see Steven Lars back, I don't think I should put it out there in the universe without qualifying it: Please, please, please don't bring back Scott Reeves and his guitar.

I think Liz mentioned him to Esme while she was held by Nikolas? I FF alot, too. And I may have imagined it but I thought Heather mentioned him in a Spring Ridge conversation. I barely remember. The last time he was on he had a big secret - maybe he let someone die (or helped him over the edge?) to get a kidney or a heart or something? So he went back to Memphis (or Nashville or somewhere like that) and turned himself in and went to prison. Stupidity all the way around. Just wanted to add that I didn't hate William Moses as Jeff. If his casting wasn't related to one of Liz's dumbest storylines, I'd have been okay with him recurring more often.

That could be a potential silver lining, if they use it to get Steven Lars out of prison and back to Port Charles. At least we wouldn't have to listen to Heather moan about Esme non-stop. No offense to Alley Mills but I miss Robin Mattson.

I know it takes time to fix a show as off track as GH has been but I'll agree that the couples on this show are all over the map and except for Kevin and Laura*, not in a good way. I kinda hate the idea of a wellness, fitness, spa thing. Sure, fresh sets would be nice but BL in a black blazer in a steam room anyone? * Even if Heather was non compos mentis (lawyer speak for BSC) and she gets off, Laura honey, this is going to kill you politically. Such fun we have to look forward to. (I have a soft spot for Laura but not her deer in the headlights look.) Eta: I want Alexis back as an attorney as much as anyone but the anvils of her potentially being involved in Heather's case sound more cringey than entertaining.

Do we know for sure she is, though? Just because you're related to rich people doesn't mean you necessarily are. I mean, Ned is and I'm sure he paid enough child support to make sure Lois and BL lived comfortably while she grew up but between the Q's having lost several fortunes over the decades, having cash tied up in ELQ stock and BL wanting to make it on her own, maybe a fantasy trip to Italy wasn't in the budget? Or there was never time from one crisis to the next? Though Chase selling his truck to finance it is really dumb, imo.

Of course they are - and it's pretty entertaining, especially watching Drew get seduced by the dark side. Not that he's putting up much of a fight. Hah. If I liked her, I'd feel a little sorry for Diane being caught between Jason and Sonny, even briefly.

I agree with most of your post but I'm not sure writing can solve the problem of block taping, which is why so many storylines are siloed. And block taping is what keeps the show on budget and alive.

Mariah. For all the reasons in previous posts.

I understand her feelings about it (and even mostly agree) but Portia isn't exactly an innocent. She violated her medical ethics and endangered a patient to protect her daughter, which is what Heather, in her twisted, Cobalt poisoned way was also doing.* * I am not advocating for Heather here but honestly, I can't believe I used to like Portia once upon a time.

Heather is her adopted (as a teen) half-uncle's ex-wife. A flimsy by marriage connection, at best. Liz has a closer connection in that at least Jeff Webber (Hardy, by blood), is her father and Heather is her brother's mother. Jason has a blood connection to Heather even. But I gather Heather gave Laura her medical PoA based on Webber sentimentality? Thanks!

I don't think that's what she's doing - she only remarked on how Heather seemed different. Kevin, otoh, did seem to be heading there. You would think his experience with Ryan would make him more cautious. If Heather wasn't technically responsible for the hook killings, she was still in prison for other crimes, right? I don't think they committed themselves as to when Heather got the hip implant and when it went bad. Or did they and I missed it?

I didn't see the actual conversation between Aiden and Elizabeth but there was practically no follow-up. I think there was more here, where no one was impressed that they made the kid who liked to bake gay. There's been way more attention paid on-screen to Blaze, than the son of legacy characters. Of course, that might be a good thing when you look at how they wrote for Lucas.

Wow, Portia. Tell us how you really feel. (At least the background players got to turn around and stare at her.) Still... talk about unnecessary characters - we don't need reformed Heather on the canvas. Though that would be a great lawsuit for Alexis. Sue the device manufacturer and the Bureau of Prisons for not recognizing or ignoring her health issues.

I don't want to see Jason and Carly together romantically because the only thing that made their dysfunctional relationship tolerable for me was that while Carly monopolized Jason, she could never have the one thing she desperately wanted from him. And she had to watch Robin, Elizabeth and Sam have real relationships with him. It was soapy. Agreed. It's too bad Ron was so petty, because Sean is looking very fine over at B&B.

This is true. There used to be a kludge-y workaround where you recreate the episode topic using an old existing post but it's nitpicky and time consuming, so I can't imagine anyone doing it for a low traffic forum. 🙂

Someone would need to flag the posts and request a mod move them, as there aren't mods assigned to specific forums anymore. ---- Moved from the general thread: The cousin reveals were good.

I second the praise for Maxie telling Nina some hard truths. And if it means Nina gets to work her magic on Drew (who I can't stand), then I can go back to hating Sonny and all will be right with the world.

Sally and Nina. While I hate discounting Dru's offspring, I'm voting for Sally and Nina. Although I may have trouble remembering Nina (Chance's mom, Chance's mom, Chance's mom...) after watching everything Sally went through on B&B, I'm pretty sure she can beat Mariah and Lily.

Mariah, Audra*, Lily, and Sally are my picks for women who might have visited a grocery store recently enough to actually know the price of food. (I'm discounting the cost of the luxury tote bag, since I'm guessing they are all savvy enough with the prices of luxury goods.) * I'm still not quite sure who this Nina person is. I should probably Google it and see if it would affect my vote. Update: Despite @Peppermint making an excellent case for Nina, I'll stick with Audra.

Has anything been said recently about JJY's health and when we might see Mac again? Because I'm cautiously optimistic about what this team might do with Mac and Cody.
