What kind of prison is this exactly? I’m confused
-
Chase and BL is a potential pairing I want to like but I don’t see romantic chem between them, just friendship chem. I think JS had a spark with the temp recast BL but not this one. Also, BL is way too far up Michael’s ass for my liking but that’s neither here or there.

What was the point of the Joss/Jason scenes? She’s a little old to lament about her parent’s not getting along and to be this naive about the why her dad is concerned and the fact that he’s never liked Sonny or Jason or their lifestyle. It’s like they intentionally write her like a little kid which makes me wonder why they bother giving her screentime at this point. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that they brought on 2 new teens to act messy versus giving those types of SLs to the existing ones. Trina can at least be somewhat outspoken or disagree with her parents. Joss and Cam are total duds
-
One thing consistent with Jax is he always sees women as victims, especially when Sonny or Jason are involved. That’s one of his more annoying traits. But IA with you. He’s never seen Carly accurately. She’s only against the mob when something happens to one of her kids and it doesn’t last long. Otherwise, she’s never had the issues with it that most women who get involved with Sonny do but Jax ignores that because he’s sees what he wants to see with Carly. If he didn’t, he would have never gotten involved with her in the first place. When he first got with Carly, I recall multiple scenes of everyone who was close to him warning him it was a bad idea and he kept saying that they didn’t really know Carly.

Courtney still slightly edges out Peter for me because of sheer screentime alone and the fact that I watched daily back then. Courtney was on practically every day for 4 years and had multiple front burner pairings It was insane for such a disliked character. -
If they are writing him on the spectrum, he’s probably supposed to be high functioning so it’s not always easy to pick up on when they are younger. Nothing today except his lack of reaction to Sam seemed out of the ordinary to me and I just thought he was being rude at first (also forgot they are siblings). He was interacting with Olivia and Dante.
-
I don’t think Joss is going to be involved in that story long term but they definitely shoehorned her in there today to try to give her a badass moment under the guise of standing up for Trina. I would have preferred that Trina got to do it herself. I think they like the Joss actress but struggle to write for her because they want to give the impression that Carly is a good mother and her and Joss have an amazing relationships so she gets left with these moments rather than storylines. God forbid she actually be in danger from the mob, date someone that Carly doesn’t approve of, or have to compete for a love interest.

I thought that money she received from saving that dog (who really saved himself) went to starting a charity. I don’t think she had other money unless she got a settlement from one of her many divorces.
-
I feel like they are too heavy handed with Laura giving Nikolas tough love. Especially with this Nikolas. GF does well with these big scenes but it comes off as a hallow to me because there’s no balance with the more loving moments. Nikolas already didn’t grow up with Laura and has his own abandonment issues there and even when he arrived in PC, Stefan remained his sole caregiver and he was just getting to know Laura. I wish they had a dynamic more similar to Alexis and Nikolas. She can get angry at him too like in their last scene but there’s counterpoint moments like with Alexis being grateful for what he did for her with Cyrus and being genuinely happy when they found out he was alive when everyone else was upset with him.
-
I thought Nikolas and Ava were just breaking up temporarily and would reunite once they found out Spencer was the stalker. After today, they’re done. Ava getting reminded of her dead daughter on the same episode that Nikolas is terrorizing his son was a huge anvil. I thought Nava were originally meant to be the shady couple but it’s all been on Nik’s side so far with Ava either reluctantly going along with his plans or not agreeing with him.
-
So is Spencer not the stalker now? I’m so confused. Who is that young woman who was watching Ava and Laura/Kevin?
-
I don’t think Covid protocols was the reason for the offscreen party. The pool always seems to be filled with extras and that’s one place they could get away with being empty because why would so many people be hanging out at a hotel pool on a regular day?
-
Personally I disagree because it gave Sonny and Carly a reason to smugly look down on the Jeromes. They would mention it once a week for years. It’s part of what makes them so unrootable. They judge others for doing the same exact thing they do and get to pretend like they are parents of the year because of the slanted writing. I despised Guza’s GH but there was at least an attempt to show that Sonny’s life brought danger to his kids which he frequently disregarded. It’s half hearted as best now. Nothing really ever happens to his kids/stepkids because of the mob threat and I doubt we’ll ever see anything different.
-
That story was also retconned because MB complained. The original version had Sonny behind the car bombing and the justification was that obviously he didn’t know that Morgan would try to steal Julian’s car and die in the process. Months later, they introduced Olivia Jerome and suddenly she was behind both the car bomb and everything Julian did. Not as bad as what they are doing with Hayden’s shooting but still a massive whitewash for Sonny and Carly, who now got to blame someone else for it.
-
That’s where I am with Sam as well. Her lack of effort is so blatantly apparent and I reached a point where I’m annoyed when she’s sharing screentime with my favorite characters because it ruins their scenes for me. All I see is low energy, mumbling, awkward pauses mixed with rushing through dialogue and staring at the ceiling. I also think she gives nothing back to her screen partners when they have their bigger scenes. The main one in the past few years was Alexis. It was painful to watch her stonefaced in those scenes.
-
The Jax/Carly conversation was a rehash of the same one they’ve continued to have forever. Assuming she didn’t catch him, what was the plan? I don’t buy that he’d turn the evidence over to the police (not even sure the PCPD would care considering how they work with the mob these days) and Joss would side with her mother no matter what. He’s lost the battle a long time ago but he serves no other purpose on this show right now.

Unpopular Opinions: "I hate BLTs from Kelly's!"

Slightly off topic for UO but I have a sinking suspicion that the Joss/Cam story is going to be short lived. She just doesn’t appear that interested in him and talks too much about Spencer. They also keep having Joss and Trina say that they won’t put a guy above their friendship which clearly means that they will and Trina isn’t into Cameron. I see them having Joss fall for Spencer and doing a sort of quad which will be disappointing since Trina and Spencer get decent buzz and there’s no way that they’ll allow Trina and Cameron to lash out at Josslyn. It’ll be like what we’re seeing with Chase and Millow. -
I do think MB’s chemistry with CW is much stronger than with LW but that story is too boring for me to care about. I also didn’t care about the story with Mike dying so I’m probably not the audience for a similar story with Lenny, a character we hardly know who has ties to no one.
-
These visions Carly keeps having of Sonny aren’t Sonny-like at all. Sonny would never be so understanding and encouraging Carly to move on. I doubt he will be once he comes back to town and gains his memories back. This is what Carly wants to hear.
-
He was doing in person events? And he said he got it at work. There’s a lot to dissect there
-
I’m assuming we’ll get Nikolas doing something stupid at the party to try to unveil Spencer, it blowing up in his face and everyone getting angry at him. They’ve already set this in motion by having Alexis, Laura, and Ava doubt Nikolas’ claims. That or Spencer gets exposed but a recovered Ryan somehow escapes and terrorizes them and everyone assumes it’s Spencer behind it.
-
"You really do remember the things that count, Mike." LMAO the writers are trolling @Cheyanne11 IA with your assessment of Josslyn. There’s no reason that she should automatically believe that Jason and Carly are in love with each other. Her writing has been a problem for a long time. However, considering that Spencer has been on practically every day since he debuted, I think the teen group has a new lead to center around so I’m less annoyed by her than I normally am. I don’t know how I feel about Spencer yet but I have more hope for him than I do for Joss and Cam who I gave up on being interesting a long time ago.
-
I could see them recasting Scout with the girl who played the younger Alexis earlier this year in her stand-alone. The girl didn’t look like NLG but she resembled the actress who we last saw play Scout quite a bit. The actress also did well with heavy material in that episode so she’d probably do a good job reacting to her father being back from the dead.
-
I have zero interest in Jason or Carly, together or separately, so I don’t care how it plays out but after watching today, I think we’ll see Carly falling for Jason and wanting this to be a real marriage while Jason doesn’t.

Same here but Sam’s default lately has either been an irritated expression or this suspicious look with squinted eyes. It happens so frequently no matter what she’s reacting to that I don’t think she’s being directed to give those expressions.
