Stone? A redirect at Jagger but real person is Stone Cold?
Carly suddenly wants Nina out of her life but had no problem walking into the office and gloating, or not having an issue with Drew's punishing her by firing her for no work reason. So now his magazine has no editor. Lol.
Carly doesn’t care anymore because she won- Sonny wants to divorce her. She got the main thing she wanted. She’s claiming the higher ground now but god knows she was smug as hell when Micheal bribed an official to charge Nina with a fake crime, when she realized that she had the Willow secret when she lost the MC, and like you said when she took over Nina’s job.

What interesting timing that Carly gets the "moral victory" in quitting Crimson and dumping Drew in 3...2...1 just in time for the twin she always wanted to return.
I saw that happening from a mile away and while Drew having egg on his face is mildly entertaining, in the end Carly wins. Drew was always nothing more to her than a Jason stand in who we all knew she would forget existed the moment Jason returned. Having Drew acts this way shields her from that criticism because now she can claim it was all because he’s toxic. And hey, bonus because the show hates us, Carly will be able to rant about Nina ruining Drew.

I said my feelings about Spinelli/Maxie yesterday but while it’s partially fan serve, I also think it’s mainly happening because they’ve lost interest in Maxie as a character so they’re pairing her off just to say she isn’t single anymore. I’ll be shocked if they actually get storylines together and we see them sharing a lot of scenes outside of the holidays and events like weddings or funerals. Spinelli will likely spend most of his limited screen time with Jason once he returns like always.

Karoke night is back but the actors were clearly lip synching to a recording instead of live singing like before and the show didn't want to sell out the funds for popular songs that most of us would recognize so I’m assuming it’s from the collection of random licensed music we hear in the background of scenes.
Is Stone an anvil? I know Jagger’s son is named Stone but it was also Morgan’s middle name.
Dan/Chris already knew that were being canned when they wrote this stuff and no one can convince me otherwise. This show has been at an all time low post Bobbie’s death.

Even if CM wasn’t playing things completely unhinged, I’ll never feel sorry for Drew. He chose to go to prison instead of Carly because it was more important for Carly to be there for her kids than for Drew to be there for Scout even though the insider trading scheme was 100% her idea and against his wishes. He also chose to snitch for Sonny while in prison, which was the only reason he got beaten up.
Since getting out of prison, he spends all his time either with Carly or ranting about Nina, save a single scene with Scout where he was trying to force her to go to a school she didn’t want to attend. Hell, he took over for Michael on a business deal in Australia because he wanted Michael to be able to spend the holidays with his kids even though, again, it would mean he’s away from Scout despite his constant complaints that his prison stint caused him to lose time with her.

The wardrobe people definitely have their faves because there’s a small handful of characters who always look amazing while the rest are in boring/ill fitting if not downright hideous outfits most of the time.

It’s interesting how Carly lashed out at Ava nonstop for Iike 6 years for killing Morgan but now that Ava’s in the inner circle, she doesn’t get a passing mention and Carly puts the blame solely on Olivia Jerome.

I bet he originally auditioned for Pikeman though it would be interesting if they did a chem test for a short term role like that considering they don’t bother doing that a lot of the time for long term characters who have a planned pairing and other connections to the canvas.

Whatever they’re doing with Alexis/Gregory/Tracy is weird. I can’t call it a triangle because Alexis isn’t interested in him romantically but Tracy seems to be now. We know he’s dying and soon since Finn said the past Christmas was likely his last and BL/Chase are getting married quickly so he can attend. Tracy just spent 2 years grieving Luke so why would I want them to pair her with someone who doesn’t have much time left?

I’ll be shocked if that Invader changes aren’t a setup for Alexis to leave and get try to get her law license back and have Nina takeover as editor. Shawn couldn’t have been that hands on of a publisher if he had other media outlets and a nonprofit so I’m sure she can do both. If that’s the case, I kinda don’t mind it. The show will forget Crimson exists again once Carly quits after dumping Drew and this gets Nina out from under Drew and Michael. Practically everyone hates Nina anyway so at least she has an outlet to talk shit about them in return.

I know they had their fans but I hated Maxie/Spinelli during their original run so I’m not looking forward to part 2. It always came off like that “nice guy” trope to me and I was already low keyed annoyed by the fact that they had every YA guy that the show remotely cared about automatically designated to JMB’s Lulu while Maxie got the glorified dayplayers (which tbh I think Spinelli would have been as well if BA didn’t become instant bffs with SBu)

I don’t think MVJ is retiring. I follow her on SM and during the strikes, she seemed somewhat worried about her finances and eager to return to work. She had to either have been ousted or has another gig lined up. I could definitely see her returning to GH but if she does, I think that highly suggests someone above Frank is tinkering with things. I recall most of the previous writing regime being replaced by former OLTL writers once Frank took over so I’d have a hard time believing that 2 writers who he’s never worked with suddenly joining the show is a coincidence.

It doesn't come from me, it's just public knowledge on social media as of today.
B&B is a terrible show, but it's also basically a retirement plan and guaranteed income for many very talented daytime writers who came to rest there doing day to day scripts in recent years. It's run by Brad Bell's whims, the writers are just clocking time. Which is why it shocked me that Mulcahey bothered returning to GH given the money he almost certainly got from his long stint at B&B, and why it shocks me MVJ has left that security now. If she's not retiring (as PM had done previously to his GH move, I believe) then it begs the question of what's up.
I’ll take your word on Bold paying its writers well since I have no idea what writers make but I’ve always heard that Brad Bell has his hands in everything so his writers get very little control over SLs. I can imagine that at best it’s unfulfilling and at worst, incredibly frustrating, especially for 2 writers who’ve been in the game for decades and have penned some really popular storylines.

She got a fair amount of heat about that when it was her main characteristic, but it never bothered me. Why should she care about these garbage people otherwise? I kind of appreciated that she was in it for the money. She's a mob attorney—there aren't too many other upsides.
But now she's an unbearably smug scold.
I always found it realistic. There’s definitely a subset of lawyers who are solely motivated by money and see getting off their scummiest clients to be nothing more than a challenge. Im sure those are exactly the types that career criminals with huge pocketbooks would hire. I doubt most of those lawyers are friends with their clients. They know they’re trash and morally corrupt. It really doesn’t make sense to change that about Diane at this late date. Unlike most of the town’s current and previous lawyers, she didn’t have a bunch of relatives and exes running around, which makes things way more messy

Diane acts like she’s Sonny jilted ex when she goes off like that. I know she’s been friends with Alexis for a long time but I don’t recall her being close to Sonny/Carly until fairly recently. Her big thing for most of her run was that she didn’t care about any of these people outside of their billable hours. I’ve always found her to be a bit of caricature but they’ve really ramped up her being a smug asshole and passing judgment on everyone despite representing the worst of the worst and allowing them to continue committing crimes.

He absolutely first told Dante that Michael hired Dex to take him down. That’s why he’s so angry about it. It was Dante who kept harping on how Michael was just trying to protect Sonny.
Well that’s something and I’ll take it back. I think it’s still getting glossed over entirely too much by the fact that Michael later hired Dex to protect Sonny. It feels like they only added that in so they could focus on that part when the truth came out to try to shield things. Dex was already planning to continue to work for Sonny before Michael ask him to so he was essentially collecting a second paycheck for no reason.

It could very well have nothing to do with the actor specifically but the fact that the show has planned to make Curtis Trina’s father since 2020 and the reception to their scenes have been mostly lukewarm while Trina/Taggart scenes have gotten a lot of positive feedback, online anyway. Sometimes the show sidelines actors when whatever agenda they are selling isn’t hitting and another character is more popular than who they wanted to promote.

They’ve already whitewashed Michael trying to take down Sonny. Not only did Sonny barely react to that part of the news when he first heard it, all he mentioned today was Michael hiring Dex to protect him so I think from now on, they aren’t going to talk about the revenge plot or allow that to be common knowledge.

Does Dante remember he was once the “traitor” working undercover to take down Sonny? Him being this in bed with the mob drives me absolutely insane. Anna as well to a lesser extent. I can’t imagine a 90s era Mac or Taggart assisting Sonny with a mob war.

Tbh, I think Sonny is done and Carly’s already souring on Drew so I think she’ll dump him soon. They will both be single by the time Jason returns and we’ll get an onslaught of Sonny/Carly/Jason scenes because the show probably thinks that’ll bring back lapsed viewers from 20 years ago.

I think that Sonny’s trash but this is what he always does. He has one convo blowing up at the woman and then he’s done. I can’t recall him ever wanting to work through relationship issues. He ices them out which usually leads to some big scene where they’re begging for forgiveness through a locked door, making some public scene, or getting served.
If he forgives the woman and reunites with them, it’s only way down the line, usually well after one or both of them have moved onto someone else. Even when he’s at fault, he barely cares or tries to work through things, i.e when he cheated on Olivia with Ava or when Carly caught him in bed with Sam.

Nina gets in her own way a lot of the time but I’ve always thought she deserved better than Sonny. He stood by and was mute while she was constantly harassed by his inner circle and every time they did something to hurt her, he told her immediately she had to let it go to keep the peace while treating anything she did in retaliation as unforgivable. Honestly I was over them as a couple the minute he agrees to attend Michael and Willow’s wedding knowing that Nina couldn’t be there. The gloating that Carly/Michael/Joss did was accurate because when push came to shove, he would put them ahead of Nina and her feelings. In the end, it’s all about him and making sure he had everyone he wanted in his life even if she had to be torn down constantly.

I think both Michael and Joss think they take up way more space in Sonny’s life than they actually do. Sonny loves Michael but not any more than his other kids and Michael clearly thinks he’s higher on the totem pole- hence why he Michael thinks Sonny had no one when he was mad at Sonny even though we saw countless scenes of him with Dante, Kristina, Donna, and Avery.
Truthfully, I think Joss does as well and her ignoring him was genuinely affecting him. However, everything they’ve shown onscreen is that while he probably cares about her, she’s firmly placed in the category of Carly’s kid and not his. That’s why Joss had that breakdown when he didn’t invite her to his wedding. We all know Joss didn’t want to go but I think some part of her expected him to beg her to attend and she would be able to turn him down and hurt his feelings.

I feel like Gregory’s time is running out soon. He’s been on practically all month and more than a few of them have come off like they are burning his minimums. I bet he dies or ends up hospitalized at this wedding. That would be just depressing enough for this show.
Episode Discussion II: The TFGH
in General Hospital
You guys are way more optimistic than me. It would be a better story for Ava to be plotting but I think she’s relishing being close to Sonny. Why, I don’t know because he treated her like crap before NF and did everything he could to limit her time with Avery. But since Sonny’s in his betrayal era, at least them being close has an end date. If there’s a hint of Ava going behind Nina’s back to get with Sonny, no way Nina wouldn’t immediately tell him how his new bff knew about the SEC secret the entire time and initially encouraged Nina reporting them and later not to tell Sonny.
