Wanting a couple on a soap to have sex and romance makes you a creep now? Things have sure changed since I started watching soaps in the 80s I guess. I want this couple to get down and if that makes me a creep so be it. GH has become so bad at sex scenes though. Jex is considered the height of passion these days.

Yeah it’s not cynical to assume she’s only off to this celeb rehab because of the press, it’s just rational. I don’t hate this girl and I hope she gets her act together but she very likely ruined someone else’s life because of her selfish destructive behavior. Saying she wasn’t in control is meaningless- our legal system thankfully still finds culpability in those who chose to impair themselves. I hope this results in jail time because harsher sentences are the only way people will take this seriously. I was happy to see SB and Ingo go, but I can only imagine what NLG would be be saying if they had done this. So I agree she’s a hypocrite.

Exactly. It’s an intentional act, and shouldn’t be called a mistake. That’s downplaying it and NLG should know better.

Ick they’re going for a triangle here aren’t they? The writers have 3-4 stories in their bag of tricks and they already did the creepy paternity one so of course they’re heading in this direction.

I’m with Spencer on everything - his being upset about Cam leaving, his hatred for Esme and distrust of her. He’s right about all of it. I don’t know what story the show is trying to tell though, and his hyper focus on Esme makes me worried they’re destined for a triangle with Trina. Honestly at this point I would rather see a Joss/Dex/Esme triangle even though Dex is super lame, because I want to see Joss lose.

I really like WL as Cam, and think he has a great natural chemistry with Becky, Genie and NAC and some good potential chemistry with Avery Pohl. But having him onscreen so infrequently is a detriment. They can’t write him a big story when they’re only going to have the actor when he’s on break from school. I hope they take advantage of his summer break but at this point it would probably be better if they could get someone permanent. Not that casting always hits it out of the park, because I totally agree that the guy playing Dex is a charisma free block of wood. No idea why this show thinks the best story for a brand new popular young couple who barely kissed is to try and get custody of an infant. It’s so boring.

I almost wish Nina was the monster they say she is, and that she dangled the donor in front of them like that. The Carly’s are just unbearable. If GH were a normal show this would lead to Liesel forging some sort of peace and relationship btwn Willow and Nina but I don’t even want that anymore. Willow is just so awful that what I want is for Nina to have some improbable late in life pregnancy. Come on Sonny’s sperm are magical, they can do it.

In NYC at least that’s the title you start out at. There are many many ADAs. PC only has 4 lawyers total though so who knows. As good as NAC is, I’m a little annoyed that Spencer is acting like Nikolas only slept with Esme because of Ryan. He still betrayed you, no one made him or even had to try hard. Esme barely put in any effort. But I guess we are supposed to think everything would be rosy btwn them had Esme never appeared? He said himself he’d still be in Europe tooling around. I know all this is hyped up because we are supposed to believe Nikolas is dead but I don’t buy that for one second. So Liz confesses and gets a deal to avoid jail. Good she can stop fretting about her guilt and start fretting about Heather coming after her for revenge. Not sure what it is that makes Austin so calmly ok with helping Ava hide a murder she committed, but I kind of dig it.

I think I hated everyone on todays episode except Sonny (how the heck did that happen) and Sasha and the hot detective. I love how often Sonny tells Michael to stop being such a whiny brat these days. So Joss was so horrified and disgusted by Nina keeping Sonny from his small children for a few months but she’s gonna be fine keeping him away from them the rest of their lives? She’s such a hypocrite. Dex’s story has to be a cover - he’s way too invested to just be a mercenary. Drew is now in full on Ryan Lavery self-righteous mode. I had forgotten how he used to talk down to Kendall and act like he was better than her. He has zero compassion for Nina. Hate him and all the Carlys.

I like the idea that Heather was so disgusted by Ryan ordering his own daughter to sleep with Nikolas that she wanted him dead. But what was her plan in escaping with him? What was her end goal when she took Esme to Wyndamere? Ryan having been behind Esme all along, as far back as her going to boarding school with Spencer, wraps everything up in a neat little bow, but doesn’t make much sense if you look too closely. I love Ava’s hatred for him though and hope she does some real damage. Now that Laura and Kevin know Esme is his niece, I assume she and the baby will move in with them. No need for a custody trial with Nikolas gone. This storyline wrapped up very strangely but it’s been a fun few days. Also thought Trina and Spencer were surprisingly hot in their kissing scene. And I liked his not wanting to take advantage of her or have their first time together be because she wants a distraction. The show won’t bother exploring this but Spencer should have his own hang ups and insecurities about sex. The only experiences he’s had were with a con artist using him as a mark, who then slept with his dad.

Wow I managed to forget Rory existed until I saw this. Friday was another good soapy day. And Trina telling Spencer to get her out of there felt like the start of a classic soapy teenage story. Actually excited to see this couple happen. I know Austin isn’t going to die at Heather’s hands, er Hook, but also wouldn’t at all be surprised if he did and RoHo was immediately brought back as yet another character. But also suspect as others have mentioned that she’ll snag him to take on the run to deliver Esme’s baby.

Minus Luke, I like everyone on that cover! Amazing no Carly, mini-Carly or Michael.

I would love to see Joss try and threaten Spencer. His reaction would be priceless. I wish this campus had their own gossip girl so Joss could be put on blast. But I’m happy Cam said all the things and did it without stooping to her level.

They have to be super careful and can’t talk in the hallway in case Sonny finds out. Which is why she let dumb Dex answer her door shirtless. She’s an idiot.

Apparently fans of the couple see them as a young Carly & Jason which…is not how I remember Carly and Jason. I always felt like he barely tolerated her back then. I truly despise Joss, whose selfishness is infinite. I want to believe that Dex’s secret is something that would hurt her but he’s against Sonny so that just puts them on the same side.

I think I actually hate her more than Carly.

She told Liz when she first woke up (right before Liz tried to figure out it Esme is faking her amnesia) but Liz convinced her it was just a bad dream. I think they’re setting up Spencer vs Dex. They are making Spencer their main young male lead, which great because NAC is charismatic and very good, but they seem to be making Dex the counterpart young male lead and I do not find the actor or character remotely good or interesting. But will be happy to see someone lay into Joss for what she’s done and I guess it’ll be a new source of tension when or if they ever get Trina and Spencer to be an actual couple.

I want Cam and Esme to get together if only to see Joss’s head explode and listen to her whine about how could Cam betray her like that? Things are actually happening on the show, it’s amazing. Can’t wait for the fallout. Poor Spencer is finally getting a sibling and it’s his crazy ex girlfriend’s kid. Should be fun.

I agree if there’s fallout. And sometimes there is - Nik and Esme or this fake Nik/Liz thing are examples. But with certain characters (Michael and Willow) they’re barely even chastised. I’m expecting that with Joss too, though hopefully if no one else gives her hell for it, Spencer at least does. And I’m on board for Cameron to get involved in this Esme storyline already. This is the conundrum of the show. Any decent people should be horrified by Sonny and the things he’s done. But they’re not, and it’s not because they’re morally gray, it’s because Sonny and Jason and Carly are the hero’s of the show.

And the dummy just believed her. It’s amazing he doesn’t have hundreds of children scattered across the globe. I think this is right but it’s going to be a bit anticlimactic because it’ll be a new character. Unless it’s somehow the ADA that went after Trina so hard. Of course Hook isn’t actually trying to kill Trina so who knows.

I don’t think Maura or Ava are too old for it, but if Cam is going to have an unhealthy affair with anyone I still prefer it to be Esme. Hopefully that baby will tock soon and this can be a possibility. Have him find her and save her and have her become slightly more human from that experience. She can still be mostly crazy but let her become Cams biggest fan. Idk something. As for Ava, the most appropriate person for her to have an angry affair with right now would be Lucky. Ah well.

He was phenomenal, as was Becky. J have to say these scenes don’t make me feel that great about TC. I didn’t remember him as quite that red and shiny. And I’ve been clamoring for a Lucky return, but I certainly don’t want him coming back just in time for Liz to be “pregnant” with his brothers baby again.

Oh no that’s horrible news about Sonya. So tragically young. I was reading (speculation) that Marcus’s contract expired in the Fall so he was already done with his contract. In that case it’s slightly less unprofessional that he not continue to film.

What a useless character that was. If this was meant to be an actual triangle, they didn’t write it that way at all. And now they’ll have to come up with other contrived reasons to keep Spencer and Trina apart. I would like to believe that when Laura finds out Nik is holding a young, pregnant girl hostage and plans to keep her on Cassadine island that she will be appalled. But Elizabeth wasn’t so I don’t have high hopes.

The Brando actor went so far as to publicly praise SBu for standing up for his convictions and said he wished he had been brave enough to do the same. Seemed in bad taste to air his grievances that way since he intended to stay. Maybe they can all join Steve over on Days.
