I'm pretty sure that was about trying to integrate Drew into the canvas—it was when he was running around town being a life coach to everyone. It didn't work, though.
Was that what they were trying to do? I thought they were just at a loss as to what to do with him outside of Carly’s Jason stand in so they gave him those random scenes. If anything, they took what was a fairly well integrated character, who was heavily involved in scenes with his friends, family and business and made him someone who was all about Carly and propping her.

Her scenes with Willow were cringe yesterday. Drew is so awesome, Drew is the reason I'm alive, whoever turned Drew in should burn in the 7th circle of hell.
STFU, Stepford Willow
Willow has been acting like Drew is her surrogate father after they had a total of like 2 convos. I don’t think I can blame Michael’s influence on that one because even after the recast and Drew banging his mom, Michael barely cares about Drew and mostly treated him like a coworker instead of his uncle. I never got how Willow and Drew got so close that she was asking him to walk her down the aisle based on what we saw and I find it creepy as hell, even if it’s only so she can act super betrayed that Nina turned him in.

I know it’s an UO since most tend to base this around whether it’s someone they like but the last thing this show needs is to add more characters. The cast is beyond bloated and the show can barely write for 75% of their current characters on a good day because of it. I’m almost to the point where I wish that they would just cut every character that they aren’t interested in writing for even if some of my faves are included because I’m tired of SLs taking weeks to circle around again and 15-20 named characters in every episode.

Is the Dex actor crazy behind on his mins? Why are we getting episode after episode of him being the world’s least inconspicuous spy?

Finn has better chemistry with Alexis than Liz. Wonder why they never gave them a real shot at a pairing.

The writers have no interest in exploring that. More importantly, I think they just want to have Olivia and Neddie fall in love all over again, so they've just removed any kind of obstacles that could stand in their way.
If this storyline was worth anything, he would have remembered Lois's name when it was mentioned, but there was zero recognition even when he saw her picture.
I don’t think they put much thought into that SL beyond needing to stretch out the truth about Nina coming out. I never believed a SL centered around Ned would give him real POV. Sine I’ve never thought much of Ned/Olivia as a couple, him getting amnesia and forgetting her means to me since before this, she treated him like he was something she scraped off the bottom of her shoe. I’d rather the focus be on Ned with his kids or Tracy if I’m being honest because his scenes with them have been way more heartwarming versus another round of him trying to win over Olivia.

They should have made the actress who plays the evil nanny nuMolly instead of who they cast. She’s a stronger actress who looks more the part and they decided to turn her into a bitch, which the other woman can clearly pull off as as well.

I’m never going to stop clowning the show for suggesting that Carly can quickly make millions from a single small town diner. Of all the unbelievable things that have happened on this show, that has to be one of the worst. So is Bobbie a near billionaire because she’s owned that place for decades. Like it’s ok for characters to fall off their pedestal and become middle class. There’s no reason Carly has to live in what’s probably the 3rd largest home on the show (assuming the Q mansion and Wyndemere are bigger mansions) considering others who have way more money than her live in modest places

Sam and Dante spent today recapping 3 other SLs that we just saw. They’re seriously struggling with giving them a purpose beyond talk tos and props.
Hasn’t Valentin been lying to Anna about something or other since they hooked up? I recall that she forced Lucy into that Victor plan because she was trying to suss out what Valentin was doing with him so I’m not sure why she’s acting so betrayed that he’s not telling her what he’s up to now. I think their partnerships only work 1 way.

Lol why is Molly selecting godparents when there isn’t even a damn baby yet? Also I guess it’s good that she didn’t grow up with Sam because she’d probably judge her for being trash too considering that she wasn’t any more educated or together than Kristina is in her 20s. She spent most of those years grifting and/or chasing after a guy.

I’ve found Sasha’s SL gross from its inception. I’m also not rooting for Cody to be big hero. He’s gotten less annoying since his introduction with Britt but he’s a big part of the reason things with Sasha have gotten as bad as they have. He’s been hiding Gladys’ gambling problem and the obvious reason why she would want Sasha out of commission. He could have told Sonny months ago and he would have migrated Mrs. Wu’s threats and dealt with Gladys since he barely tolerates her to begin with and cares about Sasha.

Sonny/Carly reuniting is inevitable. I’m meh about it. Sonny is watchable away from Carly but he’s far from my fav so I’ll let him take one for the team there because no guy has escaped being completely unlikable for me during the time he was paired with Carly so I’d rather they not give her a new character to ruin.

Why is Joss apologizing to Carly for being a sleep and Carly chastising her about what if something happened to the kids? It's not Joss responsibility to parent her out of jail or the kids. She's a teen in college.
Carly also chose to stay there both Dante and Sonny offered to help her.
That was a weird scene. It’s like she’s put Joss in the position of her partner since she’s now divorced, Drew is in jail and Jason is gone. I know Joss is technically an adult but barely and none of that should be her responsibility. Especially since she didn’t want to burden Michael with it who is much older than her.

I think Dante/Sam have chemistry, which is a boon considering that some of the current pairings are outright painful to watch. However, I’ll always find it funny that we clowned Lante for being a paper cuts pairing only for them to put Dante in a new pairing that somehow has even less angst and obstacles. It’s probably because of lack of interest though because Dante and Sam exist to recap other people’s SL outside of their random couple fluff scenes. Giving them actual angst would mean writing for them.

Lol was Carly’s 20 year old daughter really her only option to bail her out? For a normal person, that should cause some self reflection.

I grew up with 'Insert name and I' grammar. 'Me' always sounds wrong to me :)
A good rule of thumb on that one is to take out “the other’s person name and” and just say the sentence with me or I. Whatever is correct there is grammatically correct.

Both nunuMolly and Sam were over the top bitchy to Kristina. The actresses should have played subtext.
Today's scenes with Alexis and Kristina were nice.
That’s exactly it and tbh, it’s an ongoing weak point of Kelly Monaco that I’ve noticed. She needs to play layers and soften things when she’s fighting with her loved ones and she never does. It made Sam seriously unlikeable during Alexis’ alcoholism storyline. I think she should take some tips from NLG in that area because she’s been pretty good at softening those types of scenes with her daughters if that makes any sense.

These Kristina scenes with Alexis and the solo scenes she had a few days ago with Sonny are the first times I’m buying her as Kristina and not as a completely different character. I think it was mainly Molly and Sam bringing her down for me. Kate Mansi was having trouble connecting with those actresses.

which makes me wonder - there are always SO MANY grammar errors in the dialogue - I've always wondered if it is the writers or actors doing that.
I’m sure it’s a little of both. A lot of native English speakers write or say what sounds correct in their head and it’s not always what is grammatically correct.

Did wardrobe buy women’s blazers in bulk? Lately, there’s been 3-4 female characters wearing blazers in every episode

Of course Olivia apologized for the one and only time she pushed back against Carly. Never mind that Carly was still blaming Ned after the accident and didn’t give a damn about what happened to him. And wtf was that montage? Of all of the female friendships on this show, Carly/Olivia gets highlighted like that? I don’t recall anyone clamoring for their scenes together or showcasing their friendship more. Bringing up Kate was a choice since they started bonding because Olivia looked down on Kate for whatever reason and Carly finally found someone she could trash talk about Kate with.

could swear that Sonny and Nina were originally talking about a Fall date. Maybe TPTB are worried about various strikes making that harder to time?
They were so you’re probably right that they postponed it so the wedding didn’t happen under the strike writers. Though why they care about that when the outcome is super predictable is beyond me. It’s likely also why they dropped Eddie living with Sonny and had him move back in with the Qs since I’m sure they didn’t plan for him to third wheel Sonny/Nina for 6 months.

I’m assuming that they only had those scenes for Eddie to overhear and warm up to Olivia, but Tracy trying to have Ned committed would have been an interesting route to take. They’re ignoring the obvious beat of Jason’s accident and how the family was effected by his personality changes. Evan a line from Tracy about how if Ned was still Ned, he’d want the same thing instead of hurting his family because he hated what his cousin ultimately turned into.
Of course, any storyline possibilities are hampered by most of the Qs who were witness to it being gone so Tracy would only get called ridiculous because the only ones left all worshipped Saint Jason the mob hitman and wouldn’t see the problem.

Something tells me Alexis isn’t itching to go to a car show Diane but what do I know? I don’t get where they’re going with Diane/Robert because their last few interactions have had the same running theme of Diane being the one obviously trying to pursue something with him only to suddenly declare that she knows her worth when he’s less than enthusiastic about pursing her in kind. Like at this point, it’s fully established that she’s the second choice because Holly couldn’t stick around. Either accept it or actually move on to someone else if you can’t deal with reality.

Episode Discussion II: The TFGH
in General Hospital
Carly and Joss have really made their entire personalities looking for excuses to hold grudges and judge everyone. Carly hates Austin because he “conned” Chase? Yeah, pretty sure Chase was a lot more hurt that day when he realized that his wife and best friend slipped away from their kid’s bday to have sex.
