Desperado

It’s really too bad that the show made 90% of its characters accept Sonny being a mob boss and not minding it at all because the Quatermaines, their money and political power, would be perfect to shelter Sasha’s baby from mob violence. The fights could’ve been epic, but that’s not how it rolls.

I don’t think Colette took the shot under his orders, the show is leaving him gray for now. Although since I can’t stand Valentin, either options are good for me. So Jason is going to Germany to wake up “in excruciating pain Michael” to ask him what to do about a 3-month along pregnancy? Make. it. Stop. This Brooklyn/Dante baby thing would’ve worked better if Lois never knew who the father was.

Jane Elliott is having so much fun fake sparing with MEK that she almost broke out laughing.🤣 I much prefer to watch that than have her yell at Sasha (100% over that). Same. Same. Same. Brooklyn looks to be in her late 30s to me and should’ve clued in before now, that babies might not be in her future. I missed the part where she said she wanted to contact the child she gave up now that she can’t pop another, but way to be selfish and not think of how that could affect this child. Also, not having children is not a bloody death sentence. I’m fine with Carly/Brennan, but couldn’t evaluate the kiss chemistry as it was shot from too far off for me to tell. Jason butting in and asking Sasha personal questions seemed out of character but recycled plot of him acting like the daddy. I guess I shouldn’t complain, it was 25 yrs ago or something…

OMG, Tracy was unbearable today. So much so that when she screamed about a mouse, I thought she had been drugged. I hope Sasha quits and wish she would have something more fun to look forward to than Jason, redux 2.0. I enjoyed Anna with Felicia and Emma and wish the show would allow her more light and fun moments, sans Valentin. Hated the ending.

Charles Mesure can get me to watch scenes with any character I usually skip on the show, that includes a lot of Carly scenes. Brennan is my jam. Tracy is my other favourite character and the show made me skip her “Monica this and that” and “let me act like a brat instead of the calculating schemer and blackmailer I can be” last week. Which brings me to an even more unpopular opinion. I hate that Monica is a more important character than she has been for decades right now, knowing she was extremely ill when these scenes were written, because it’s not reminding me of the character I appreciated so much, it’s making her into a vindictive and controlling person purely as a plot device for a badly written storyline. I’m assuming her family was happy that the show mentions her often, but it doesn’t feel like much of an hommage to me. I hope they do a lot better in writing her passing.

I wasn’t watching when Kristen’s mom was on (I don’t think) because I don’t recognize the actress. Can someone please share when she was on and for how long?

Or working conditions on DOOL weren’t great. Now with Medelyn leaving too, it seems to be a mini-trend.

I wouldn’t of minded having a shades of gray Sidwell come to town, interact with Anna, Alexis, Laura, Ava, and Lucy as I like the actor and he plays charming well, but they made him into a sociopath and now it’s not that fun. He’ll also be used to prop up “too stupid to get medical help” Sonny and I could definitely do without that. Meanwhile, the digitalis investigation is going nowhere fast. Are they working around Kober’s schedule? Why make him the killer, it’s so anticlimactic. How they’re going to explain Michael staying at the clinic and Carly coming back, will be a stretch. It would’ve worked better had she been off screen. I hate puppy dog Brennan - he needs to be doing some spying darn it. Unless he’s totally playing Carly. I can work with that. Who decided to make Tracy ultra annoying all week? Bulldozing everyone with her nepotism, was not fun to watch. Like her stubbornly keeping the kids away from Willow, doing this for entitled shrew Lulu, who wants to work at a low salary to fund her travels to find Charlotte (make it make sense), instead of coming up with a plan like Tracy asked her before giving her money, is making my head spin.

I watched Kerry’s scenes in Jada’s office and did anyone else notice, the actor looks a lot like Eric Martsolf, especially his eyes and smile. It would be funny to have Brady with a long lost son who is even more to handle than Rachel. 🤣

Welcome @boes - you are a legend on the DOOL board, and I’m very happy to read your GH comments and interact with you here.

Can someone refresh my memory. I remember Sasha walking in on Willow and Drew kissing, and then seemingly telling everyone but not Michael? When Michael met Sasha in the bar, my recollection is that he knew Willow and Drew had kissed (can’t remember how he found out) but hadn’t seen the nanny cam video of them having sex. So few people mention this though that I’m questioning my memory.

You don’t really think LW will be off-screen for more than a day, do you? I’m wondering if the Germany clinic choice, organized by Brennan, means we’ll see Carly and maybe Joss help him with something over there. If CD’s departure would’ve been permanent I could’ve seen her go with him, then come back to announce his death. Maybe she’ll do it as a fake out as it would be easier to do there than if he had been taken to Hopkins. Either way, Carly will remain on our screen.

I was really looking forward to a new episode, but then… The character of Sonny does love his kids so his refusal to have Avery stay away from him, and the revisiting of the custody rings hollow to me. It’s not as if he ever found out Ava knew about his pills being messed with, and holds a grudge. We’re supposed to think he still believes she pushed Kristina? Meanwhile, he still ain’t dead yet and they don’t know what to do with Jason so they make him fetch Sasha (oops! Too late!) and try to reason with Tracy. Fun times! Speaking of Tracy, although I enjoy her interactions with Not-Tad (his bye wave made me LOL), the whole thing of her refusing to hand the kids over to their mother is ridiculous and I’m tired of watching her act like an entitled child. You have a guy in excruciating pain awaken to solve an argument, everyone is yelling at each other all episode, and those that aren’t are talking to a biggot and a psychopath. I’m thinking of pausing my viewing again until you tell me things are better.

I realize that this whole Michael/Willow kids thing, through Tracy, is seen as an homage to Monica/Leslie Charleson, but the whole premise is ridiculous and she deserves so much better. It was ridiculous for Carly and Sonny to take the kids away from their mother in an hour, even if she’s f*cking Drewfus. It’s so far away from what would happen IRL. Now we’re moving to Tracy speaking and arguing for Monica (we know why, but it looks ridiculous on screen) to illegally keep her great-grandkids away from their mother AND grandparents (one of them a mob boss who just killed an FBI agent, cowering away), because Monica is ill? If the character is that ill, get her whole family there, not just two young kids. And although the character of Jason was born illegitimately as a Quatermaine, adopted as a baby by Monica, he’s a murderer for hire and has been for decades, so spare me the tears and hugs over her wishes. Not buying any of this.

After assisting in taking them away, to boot. Yep, this f*cking show. This is what it looked like to me, especially considering sleeping with Michael should’ve given her pause of the “glass house” kind but she was quite emotional about protecting her Mikey. In other news, I think we might be looking at another round of Nina/Sonny. They could be interesting to me, especially if the character is finally moving away from the coffee mob.
