How long did Rebecca Buddig sign on for? While I thought the role she played as a con artist paid by Rick the Slimeball Lansing lacked credibility when fleshed out with her sexual appetite, I think Buddig brought talent to the show.

Has Ned gotten his shares of ELQ back from Franco or did Whacko sell them to Nick off-screen? Just wondering where Ned got the money to make a generous donation to the hospital thus securing Dr. O's assistance with getting the baby away from Julian.

Wondering who is going to get the pleasure of gutting Ramsay Bolton. Will Sansa get to do it? Maybe it will be Theon. Who do you think will put an end to the sadistic brat sitting in Winterfell?

Here's a thought, let's have Franco take over the mob action in Port Charles. He couldn't be any less interesting as an avaricious mobster than he is now. What a waste of talent for GH with Howarth and Stafford being used as comic relief. Might as well bring Richard Simmons back.

Not a rumor but a wish: Sam gets pregnant with Patrick's child and stays with Patrick even when Jason gets his memory back. Robin was an excessive talker, so Patrick should have no trouble with Sam's in your face motor mouth. Jason's memory of self creates a new and improved Jason, one who is not Stone Cold Jason Morgan, mob assassin and Sonny ass-kisser. Hayden is miraculously turned into Robin who is back in PC to stay. Nina and Franco disappear into a giant time-space warp parallel universe never to be seen or heard from or of again. Kiki and Morgan leave town before learning that Sonny isn't Avery's biological father. Ava supplants Julian in the family business and totally wipes up the streets with Sonny who loses EVERYTHING.

The characters of Franco and Nina JUST DON'T WORK. It's time for some house cleaning and those two need to go, like right now.

I am really having a major problem getting behind the Adam/Gabe story. It is all so illogical and downright boring. The new actor playing Adam is about as interesting and convincing as a bowl of oatmeal on biscuits. I do like Jennings as Billy Abbott. AND, I like him with Chelsea. They have chemistry. I see no chemistry between him and the actress and character of Victoria. Phyllis got old about 10 minutes after she arrived at the church. If she was self-entitled before the coma she is a million times worse now. I have the urge to put my fist down her throat. Of course, with a daughter like Summer it is no wonder. Two uber drama queens in the same small gene pool? It boggles the mind. You can tell where all the brains in that family went -- Avery who is doomed to repeat her mistakes of the heart. Luckily, she is a better lawyer than she is a lover. With the exception of Summer who is just too stupid to come in out of the rain, I have enjoyed the Austin death mystery. Right now Kyle's smug little smirks put him right at the top of the "I hope he did it and if he didn't I hope he goes down for it" list. The Dudley Doright-Snidely Whiplash conflict continues ad nauseum. No one wins. No one loses. I like Ashley with Stitch although he has wild chemistry with Abby. He too is a bore with Victoria who bores me to tears anyway. When is Neil going to take his drunken ass back to work and oust Crazy Phyllis out of the job? When are some characters going to buy buy a clue and make some drastic changes in their dull, whiney lives?

So we are back to the damn Sonny Show again. F*ck! I am out of here. GH has gone downhill and is accelerating at an unbelievable rate right toward the drain. All it needs now to finish it off is Richard Simmons cavorting across the stage at the uber ridiculous Nurses Ball.

Smug is the perfect word to describe Brad, and he doesn't have anything to be smug about.

When is Kristin coming back?

I find I am liking the new Billy more and more. Jennings brings a maturity to the role that David Thom didn't. I do not like the new Adam, but then I am not an Adam fan either. I like Sage but I sure as hell don't get her fascination with Nick other than he might be a good meal ticket at Victor's table.

Exposing Abby's affair with Austin does not make Summer a sympathetic character. I find the little blonde bimbo to be a self-entitled drama queen. She got the worst of both her parents. Neither Nick nor Sharon can deal not getting their own way in everything. Summer's pathetic little whine about why people cheat sounded so puny coming out of her crying little mouth. Somebody please send her away for a long, long rest. I meant neither Nick nor Phyllis, not poor set upon Sharon.

It appears many viewers want a reset. Count me in.

Is there any allowable evidence that Ava killed Connie? Even if AJ were alive, wouldn't it be her word against his drunken memories? If it cannot be proven in a court of law that Ava shot and killed Connie then Ava will go free.

Is Jack playing Kelly to drive her crazy like he thinks she has been doing to Phyllis? Except for Kelly's junior high age hairdo, I prefer her to Phyllis for Jack. I am finding post-coma Phyllis just too ludicrous to invest in. She and that emotional twit of a daughter need a major timeout with some psycho therapy thrown in.

So if Rosalie is Patricia Spencer's child, who is the father and how would that be a dirty secret?

Someone really, really, really needs to give the writers an intensive course in GH history. Don't the writers have some sort of character compendium to guide them in writing dialog for the players? If they don't, they need one, a big one.

Maybe the Cassadines have Sonny -- we can only hope. We know as sure as God made little green apples that the greasy little mobster isn't dead. Anyone else notice how quickly Nina said that Heather is the one who shot up Franco? Hmmmm. Smart little cookie there still. What kind of future story line can or will there be for these 2 characters? Maybe the LSD will give Franco his artistic mojo back. Maybe the doctors at Ferncliff will find the right cocktail for Nina and she will grow up. I really think this Fluke/Luke/Helena story line should be the swansong for Geary and Towers. Let them fade off into the sunset. If the show is to survive it will need new saviors and archvillains.

Any ideas what story line is going to catch our fancy once this Fluke/Luke and Big Bad Helena story is finally concluded? Sure, we still have Jake/Jason but after that what is coming down the pike? I am not seeing much of anything of interest. Sam flooding PC with more of her tears? Sonny and whatever? Michael reverting to his Sonny Apologist role? Say what you will, this Fluke/Helena story has kept us guessing for a long, long time now. Yes, I too am ready for some damn answers!

There is some boring crap going on in Salem these day. It might have to do with some boring characters, such as Serena, Eric, Jordan, Ben, Chad, Abby, Eve. Need I go on? We know things are going to backfire on Nicole since they always do. Stefano will find out that Clyde was responsible for EJ's death and all Hell will break loose at some point. Victor and Stefano will dissolve to the status quo of distrust and inaction. Brady will never get a clue and Melanie will never find a hairbrush. Seems like stories are stalled again. Probably waiting for a sweeps period yet again.

Is it my faulty memory, or did Paige have more control of her emotions before she fell in irrevocable love with JJ?

Don't you just know Sonny is going to come out of this whole crapfest story smelling like a rose. He is going to have Carly sitting on his lap and Michael at his right hand. Some idiot writer is going to explain away Sonny shooting AJ, he is going to have saved dear precious Michael (his favorite child) from the clutches of Big Bad Fluke and the evil Helena (who by the way Sonny has never gone up against), and before long he will have Jake/Jason sniffing around again. CRAPFEST in every sense of the word. I had so hoped that with Bernard taking some time off to do something else we would be spared his presence on the screen. No such luck. Sonny is still there. Pretty soon he is going to be sitting behind the warden's desk running Pentonville too.

I may be out on a limb all by my lonesome here, but I am all for Michael never forgiving Sonny or Carly and making their respective lives miserable. They have betrayed him on more than one occasion and all their talk about love is pure crap. Neither Carly nor Sonny are capable of loving another person. What about their other children? There is Morgan and Joss and Kristina and Dante. Where is all the love for those children? It is nonexistent because they can't believe that they can't shit on Michael and keep him chained with their 'love'. There will be much more tension if they keep the bitter disgust Michael feels going for as long as possible. Now that they have made headway turning Dante into a Sonny apologist they don't need Michael making up excuses for Sonny. I'd like to see Sonny even further isolated from his family. Morgan needs to be moved away from his old man too.

When is Kate going to pay for some of her more malicious actions? She tried to poison Chloe and Daniel too. She sabotages Jordan every chance she gets. She is a master manipulator and liar. I am actually hoping Stefano cuts her legs right out from under her.

I thought Edge of Night was a CBS soap. Isn't that the show that had Adam Drake, the great Scotsman as he was referred to by the male lead of the show? I remember watching at it, but that is all. I watched As the World Turns for years, then got pulled into GH when it began. I also remember Love of Life and Search for Tomorrow. I was in grade school when these two were on, so I only have a child's memory of them. I do remember Bert Baurer's husband coming back from the dead -- the precedent for GH's current love affair with resurrection.
