Carly's hostility at learning John/Jagger knew Jason Quartermaine before she knew Jason Morgan was hilarious. I'm surprised she knew anything of the Jason/Karen past. I don't recall Jagger and Jason being friends in high school; I remember Jagger had a fling with Brenda while being in love with Karen, Jason's girlfriend. I could have sworn Jagger worked a little bit for Jason/the Qs.
I had been wondering if the fact that Jagger and Jason Q knew each other would ever be brought up, so I was pleased that it was acknowledged today.
I don't remember if they were friends, but they were friendly.
I will never forget the scene where Karen, Jagger and Jason were in a boat and it began to leak. To plug the hole, Jason told Jagger, "Quick! Take off your shirt!"
In an interview even Antonio Sabato laughed about the contrivance to get him shirtless.

The "murder mystery" was thrown together at the last minute by Kyle and Ben of all people, Fraser couldn't even be bothered. And they're right it was more of a treasure hunt than a murder mystery. Really lame. Fraser should have put more effort into it and started planning as soon as they read through the preference sheet and saw the request for it. And that was before Cat bailed on them.
IIRC, in a previous season, there was a murder mystery, but it wasn't incumbent on the staff to create it. The chief stew just ordered a murder mystery kit from the provisioner. So, why creating a mystery became an issue this time speaks more of producer-created issues than actual problems.

"It's just you and I here." Oh, Diane. You should know better. (And as a writer herself, so should Carolyn Hennesy. I am doubly disappointed.)
That line caught my attention, too. But I'm pretty sure it's correct. "You" and "I" are subject complements and therefore nominative, not objective. I think it might be more likely that Carolyn changed it to the right pronoun.
But that aside, I'm hoping that the article about Diane sleeping with the D.A. leads Robert to decide they can't continue their relationship.

Jared: “It’s hard to sew a woman back together without leaving a scar behind.” WTF. Is he Frankenstein? So what I'm piecing together is that he knocked some girl up, said he didn't want anything to do with it, she moved on with her life then he started feeling guilty about being a deadbeat dad.
I think he said it was hard to sew a wound back together without leaving a scar

Maura has chemistry with a doorknob and elevates her scene partners, but I hope any dalliance whatsoever with her crypt sex baby daddy is temporary at most. I cannot imagine PM not using her. She’s committed, looks phenomenal, and is an outstanding actress.
Not only that, but she killed in that leather jacket yesterday.

Mo always takes me out of his scenes when he uses his shrill voice. I just can't take Sonny seriously at all.
He's been particularly awful lately. He doesn't really convey what he's supposed to convey -- it's like instead of sounding angry, he sounds like what he thinks angry should sound like, if that makes sense. Combine that with the character tics he's developed over the years, and he's coming off as more of a caricature than a character.
JMO.

Trina would want the man who raised and loved her to be there to comfort her now. I hated the Curtis being her bio dad storyline to begin with but for them to have her now act like Taggart doesn’t exist is terrible.
This is what irritates me the most. When Trina's (allegedly) true parentage was revealed, she had a heartfelt conversation with Taggert saying he would always be her dad. Then, within weeks, she was calling Curtis "Dad" and there was no mention of Taggert at all. I could live with the transition better if she used another name for Curtis. IMO, the current situation is a bit of an insult to all of us with memories.

Sonny has never really cared about Joss aside from her being safe for Carly's sake. I like that about him. .
Me too -- it so neatly demonstrates his priorities.
And, FWIW, today in his confrontation with Dex, he sounded more like a petulant 15-year old than a powerful godfather. Maybe the new writers will move him to a back burner.
QuoteJoss's anger is so stupid. Dex worked for Sonny. WTF did she expect would happen? This is not an unforeseen consequence.
I'm pretty sure I wasn't hallucinating when just the other day I heard Joss tell Dex to run -- for her. Why does she now hate Sonny for convincing him to do the same thing?

When Sonny learns that Dex has been loyal to him, I'd like to see him turn on Brick: He could accuse him of being the leak and trying to shift the suspicion on to someone else, or he could be angry that Brick almost caused him to kill a valuable asset. Either way, it'd be a great reason for cutting Brick loose.
(And in a perfect world, leaving Brick in the Pine Barrens.)

That suggests to me he doesn’t have a particular standard, just making things up, like who cares about sink stoppers?
He didn't appear to care whether they were up or down. He just wanted things to be consistent from room to room. We've often seen more experienced stews telling new stews how to fold sheets under, or how to fold toilet paper. Neither of those things really matter either, but when things appear consistent, it creates an impression of attention to detail, something people would expect for a "luxury" yacht experience. I think plugs up or down is just one more item to put on the checklist to make a room ready.

Kaptain Kerry took a page out of Capt. Sandy's book and persnickety about drain stoppers, toilet paper
I think I'm sitting at a table for one regarding this, but I liked it. I liked the idea of the captain doing a walk-through with the chief stew before the first charter of the season, and I liked hearing Captain Kerry talking about the drain stoppers. I think those things showed what a luxury yacht experience should be like. We should have been seeing more little details like this every season.
However, I do suspect that Captain Kerry naively thinks this show is actually about the luxury experience and has yet to learn that its focus is on the lowest common denominator of behavior among both the staff and the guests.

Diane and Rober'ts argument was ridiculous. First, none of this was brand new information. Second, of course a DA should want to put away bad guys.
I realize Diane is the only woman of appropriate age on the canvas for Robert, but TPTB should just end this now. Better that he be single and looking rather than burdened with a pissy mob apologist.
In other news, Brick was just creepy in his scene with Jordan who has now put herself as deputy mayor in bed with the mob. Way to go, deputy mayor!

That was one of the weirdest abandoned storylines in recent memory, and I struggle to see the point. We already knew Bobbie was a good person, we didn’t need her taking on human traffickers to drive the point home. My best guess is there was a story planned, but it got dropped when SB re-signed and they decided Carly’s focus needed to be on him.
IMO, At some point during the planning of Bobbie's tribute someone noticed that January 11 was Human Trafficking Awareness Day and whatever was planned was twisted so her memorial and her involvement could coincide with the day. I don't think there was ever any thought given to extending the story.
I"m sure TPTB are congratulating themselves on their relevance.

Saw Kerry on a promo for the new season of BD, the OG show.
So what does that mean for BDA?

I don't want to rewatch but did Cyrus realize that Dex was trying to kill him and that he worked for Sonny?
Since he was lying there with his eyes only half-closed and later grabbed Dex's arm, I'd say yes, he knew what Dex was up to. I imagine thinking it was at Sonny's bidding would have been his immediate conclusion, whether or not he knew who Dex was.

- Adam is so worried about what his parents will do if he fails. He paints a picture of parents who hover over him, but where are they? Shouldn't the school have contacted them at some point? They know about the less-than-great grades but have no clue that he's spiraling out of control?
If he's 18 or older, and legally an adult, then, no. Privacy laws don't allow it. There's an "imminent danger or harm to the self" clause that would allow it, but only if a mental health professional believes that the family is not the cause of the problem.

They're also going to have to mark these down at ABC and Amazon.
Ah, yes, the mug that I don't think we'd ever seen until the last couple of days.
Way to communicate with the props department, folks.

From Port Charles (NY) to Amsterdam (Netherlands) to Ontario (Canada) and back to Post Charles in a day (with a bleeding wound on ones head!).
How gullible are we supposed to be? Is this a dream sequence?
The actor playing Lucas looks SO uncomfortable.
Oh my, that ending. I forgive you everything, show!! 😭😭👏🏻👏🏻
The wormhole stuff was making me crazy, too, but I'll give it a pass because of the ending. It got pretty dusty in my house at that point.
However the whole time they were sitting in the Amsterdam cafe talking and then phoning others about the super secret team of people working to fight the sex traffickers was making me itch. Couldn't they either have gone somewhere less public or had some throwaway line about everyone in there being part of the network?

Completely WTF the way they treated and still treat Lucas. He showed up at Carly's and she thanked him for being there like Bobbie wasn't his mother too. And he had no interaction with Felicia or Maxie or his other sister. Who is even his support system?
This show never fails to disappoint, even in a solemn occasion.
At least they let him speak, eventually. When people came up to Carly to express sympathy and said nothing to Lucas WHO WAS STANDING NEXT TO HER (!!!), I started to think TIIC had limited him to a non-speaking role because it was cheaper.* He did seem to be glowering at the time, rather than looking mournful, so maybe he was pissed off, too.
Leave it to GH to have the person who admittedly didn't know her until adulthood take precedence over someone who was raised by the departed.
(*Long ago, I read somewhere long ago that an extra with 3 lines or less was cheaper than one with more dialog, and and have been wondering if what he said amounted to 3 lines.)

Instead of so much dizzying walk-and-talk from the actors, I would have appreciated revisiting some of the iconic scenes from the past 60 years. Apart from the Luke and Laura wedding, we didn’t get that. Why have a prime time special where you don’t try to show viewers why they should watch you?
This.
I was disappointed. The show's been on for 60 years, but we didn't see that history reflected in the clips. There was no need for the Donna Mills-Morgan Fairchild skit and intro. Maybe a better brief introduction to the special should have been done by someone with a stronger association with the show like, I dunno, a longtime actor or even the producer? So much time was spent on "name" celebrities when (IMO) it would have been better to show more of the show's history. I'll forgive them a little bit for the celebration of the fans in Kelly's, but even that was just a setup for what's her name to come out, since no fan actually got to ask a question. If this program had writers produce a script, it just shows how creatively bankrupt they are.

Quote
ETA: I rewatched that bit. When Danish looks at his phone, it's a list of Favorites. Lorraine is listed four times -- She must have 4 different numbers. So he wasn't ignoring her calls. He apparently decided not to call her about this. Why? Your guess is as good as mine.
Also, I wondered why Witt told Danish about Dot being at the ranch, suggesting that Danish do something about it. Witt knows how dangerous Roy and his men are, so why throw Danish into the lion's den? Did Witt simply think that a lawyer would have more power than a lawman like himself? I thought Witt was pretty smart, but this doesn't seem very smart.
IMO, I don't think Danish originally had any intention of confronting Roy after the debate -- he was at the gas station, getting ready to leave town. Then the state trooper told him that A) Dot was at the compound, and B) Something needed to be done . . . quickly. He did get his phone out, them he made kind of a face, and I interpreted that as deciding, if things were as dire as the state trooper said, that he should forget his original plan to leave and go out to the ranch instead.
However, I don't know what he could have done that would have prevented his being killed. Any mention of Dot/Nadine would have signed his death warrant.

Episode Discussion II: The TFGH
in General Hospital
When I lived in a house with 5 other roommates and had an exam in my night class, I'd go to the student union grill for to eat dinner and study. But there wasn't anyone there I knew who would distract me.
