And then she became an Ultra Angel it looks like...hmmm...wonder why they didn't mention that?
Probably for the same reason MRS is always introduced as a winner of “Dancing with the Stars” and never as a winner/publicly humiliated loser on national TV of “The Bachelor”. It doesn’t serve the image Kelli wants at the time she wants it.

I’m surprised no one’s commented on the weird midday interview between K&J and Alora-Rose, where they asked her to compare learning DCC routines and Rockette routines. Really, Kelly? It seemed liked she was almost begging to hear how much better DCC dancing was than the Rockettes. They are TWO DIFFERENT STYLES! DCC is learning the routines and “dancing Big” to make yourself stand out while the Rockettes are precision dancing with your teammates while expecting to be proficient in many different dance types. They have their own eye-high kicking and are not hanging onto each other’s shoulders. They also perform, in non-pandemic years, 4 or more times a day/3-4 days a week.
Does Kelly secretly wish she’d been a Rockette?

Oh, no question Nelle is no different than Carly (and the rest of that horrible clan.) She's just like Carly was when she first came on which is just another in a string of reasons why Carly is such a hypocrite acting like there is some difference to how she was and Nelle is. I hated Carly then (and still do) so my feelings for Nelle are the same. I've never liked her and, unlike Ava/Maura West, I just don't find CL that great or entertaining to watch. Ava does a lot of stupid, selfish, horrible things but at least there are moments (especially when she gets caught) where there is genuine remorse. Nelle exhibits none of that. She's someone who would stab her own mother in the back (yes, just like Carly) as long as she could get something out of it. She's somehow an entitled princess and psycho at the same time. She'll do these horrible, heinous things and when she gets caught tries to convince you she didn't do what you saw with your own eyes and when that doesn't work acts like a victim and how dare you get mad at her for trying to kill you. I, generally, can't root for characters like that. I can somewhat enjoy the pain she causes the Corinthii because they more than deserve it but I can't root for Nelle over characters like Willow or the Qs or even Brad.
As selfish sociopaths? Absolutely. But just because they are doesn't mean Nelle isn't as well.
DISCLAIMER: The following is my opinion, and how I make it through watching each episode
For me, the different between Carly and Nelle comes from how the actresses portray their characters. LW plays Carly as the second coming, someone who only sees the world in how it impacts HER and manages to make EVERYTHING about her. LW’s ‘acting’ consists of finger pointing, screaming, and wild posturing. It is off putting and painful to watch because she believes she is really good in the role and this is how Carly is to be portrayed.
On the other hand, I find CL’s portrayal of Nelle a hoot. It doesn’t mean I like Nelle as a character, but I believe CL enjoys the material she’s been given and acts her butt off making the character the villainess she has. Since her release from Pentonville I’ve really enjoyed watching her put the screws to some of the major families of PC. She’s got cojones that few male actors/characters on this show seem to know of, let alone can locate their own.
i have also really enjoyed watching MW’s Ava since her time in the mental hospital. She’s not afraid to play vulnerable or scared or feisty or sly and knows how to portray each without making it all about Maura. She is a joy to watch.
AGAIN - the above was my opinion.

Why can’t we have nice things?
Why couldn’t that vacant building Jason blew up have been the beginnings of Cyrus’s home for those in trouble or need? Sonny could stutter his way out of this.
Why can’t we have that dreaded mob war that will take out gang Corinthii (Sonny, Carly, Michael, Jason, Sam, Dev, maybe Bobbie and Mike) a few guilty by association (ex. Sasha)? Throw in Peter and possibly Valentin for good measure.
Why are we watching a “who’s constipation is worse” contest between Micheal and Lucas.
Why did Nelle spend so much time futzing around and not get on that international flight to Argentina and away from PC? She’s too interesting and alive for this city of mobsters and their molls.
Why can’t we have Wiley’s real parentage be Nelle and someone not Corinthos related. Or better, backstory it that she did run into Shiloh early in her time in PC and Wiley really is his.
Why can’t we have nice things?-

The discussion in Sam’s hospital room about what happens to the person who gets Drew’s memories but is not related:
Sam says they could be left in a vegetative state and I could just see Jason thinking “if I could be a vegetable what would I be. An ear of corn? A carrot? A tomato - no, technically that’s a fruit. Now my head hurts”.

Love Melissa mocking the ones who do the "sexy" faces. I guess she forgot someone named Holly P who IMO was the worst offender!
Holly wasn’t worried so much about her facials because she knew everyone was focused a little farther south.

(Re Kim)...
I don't even think she wants to be with Drew. She is still with Julian as far as things stand right now. It seems like she just wants the swimmers.
She’ll be at Sonny’s door within the next few weeks...
(actually, a preview of Friday’s show could take care of it...)

Have to say l’m a little disappointed with this year’s Barbies. I was hoping that, since Kelli is such a big “Bohemian Rhapsody “ fan, we’d get Barbie replaced with “Freddie”. Jeans with a belt, wife beater, black mustache and appropriate color wig on the head.
Missed opportunity.

I believe Helena Cassadise could have recovered from decapitation. 'Cause she was that awesome. A perfectly coiffed head would have grown out of her severed neck.
That’s what I always thought her signature string of pearls were for. Remove those and her head falls off.

I can't believe the new Nina is Libby from Lost!
Before that she was Annie on Guiding Light.
I’ve not really FFed through the episodes in a long time but I could not watch Maxie/Peter today. They might be very nice people separately but watching him put the moves on her just looked like child porn. If it’s this much work to get the relationship going, take a break. Go out for pizza. Get a BLT at Kelly’s. But a trip to Paris on a first date? Just no. .

I typed and then deleted a whole paragraph about the ludicrous implausibility of Ryan transporting a dead body completely undetected on one of the busiest nights of the year, because none of that matters now that Jason has found the body. There's no room for logic and reason when Jason will surely solve the case based on nothing more than the sheer infallibility of his existence.
Ryan getting dead bodies into public places surrounded by lots of people but never being seen is one of his superpowers. That and his ability misdirect police investigations by setting up innocent people on the spur of the moment. He makes use of both the Port Charles wormhole and Dr. Strange’s (Avengers) time loops.

I actually enjoyed the Ryan/Kevin scenes and the Liesl/Nellie scenes. Lindstrom is playing Ryan for grins and it’s fun. I’ve found my GH “heroes” and they’re villains.
At at least they aren’t Corinthi.

Kelli: " I am a ball of stress..I'm still absorbing tonight..."
I think Kelli learned alot about herself and how to deal with legacies this season. She learned that there are many outside influences that get placed on her shoulders when dealing with legacies. She cannot let them appear or be 'shoo-in. And she probably realized that her heart gets pulled , to an uncomfortable/unfamiliar place, dealing with them esp. if they have questionable DCC skills.
All, I can say to her is stock up on Rolaids/Tums and walk in the role you been appointed to. With each passing year, more legacies will appear. Some will make it , some won't . She has a long way to go before retirement.
Judy had it easier in that : (1) she excluded herself from Cassie's judging and (2) she does not have final say as to get's cut. She has a big say, but not the final - deliver the message say so.
Here’s the problem I’ve had with this entire season - Kelli constantly telling us how stressful every week is, training camp has never been this competitive, yada yada. She’s brought this on herself (and maybe for the sake of weekly drama) but she should’ve cut Malena and VK weeks ago. Even if she’s feeling burned from what happened last year, get down to the 36-39, build from there or rely on your All-Stars; that’s why you have them. I’m rewatching the episode where VK is being called out on her weight and lack of action; she should’ve been let go that night. Others have been cut for less. Pick your team, tell them they are the team, give them the confidence that they are on the team (one less stress) and hone their skills from there. Take those with the needed dance skills and polish them to be ambassadors. Not every week needs the “cut night” drama; we enjoyed watching the GL and their squads dance last night. Give us more of that, the inner workings of the DCC.
That way way we don’t need to see Kelli stress so much (and tell us about it).

Well, I'm 5'3" and 105 pounds and look thicker than she does. Wish I could be thick just like her.
I sat through the whole episode thinking they need better manufactured/fitting shorts. NO ONE looked good in those navy shorts - either the material was inferior or the shorts were cut incorrectly or something - they just looked ill fitting on everyone. Maybe it’s the “this is the size you were your rookie year” instead of “this is your size now” (as long as they still look fit and can do the kickline). I’m not saying some people aren’t heavy (cough VK cough) but this year’s practice uniforms do no one any favors.

Was the audience suppose to feel something between Jason and Sam in that last scene? I think it's indicating that the pairing is about to finally start up and I'll say that the actors did not appear to be half asleep. But I didn't feel anything from it. "I don't take you for granted?" Really? That relationship?
My stomach started gurgling and I had to run to the bathroom. Does that count?

Nelle didn't take away AJ, Michael. Maybe remember that loss and who's responsible, huh?
AJ was fat so he was responsible for his own death. Sonny just helped him out by killing him (sarcasm)!
And I was a little jealous of how good KG looked without makeup. Younger and more vulnerable.

Let's put it this way, the show's not surviving on Joss and Oscar as the "hot young couple". That's why you need a good group of twenty/thirty-somethings. I mean, Michael got married for the first time and the story's all about his mommy. That's ridiculous!
Watching/thinking of Joss and Oscar as the “hot young couple” makes me need a shower - it’s kiddie porn. Aren’t they like 14 years old?

I agree with you, @ByTor. Breelan was the main one I was thinking of for weight gain, but there have been others. With Allie, I think it was more of how her body is shaped rather than actual weight gain. She's boxy rather than slender like the rest of the girls so ANY weight gain on her, especially around the middle, looks like a lot. We've also commented a LOT about how the "accepted" DCC body shape has changed over the years this show has been on. Girls like Brooke Sorenson, Kandi Harris, Meredith Oden, and Erica Jenkins, while amazing dancers in their own right, are more "womanly" with hips and curves while nowadays, it's ruler- or stick-straight with few to no curves.
The majority of us look at the "early" years (early in terms of the show) and see how amazing and memorable those dancers are/were while, in recent years, the girls are seen as boring, blah or blenders. We don't see the personalities, the talent or the diversity of those early squads nowadays. Part of that is the jumbotron or whatever it's called. Yes, it brings the field up to those in the top bleachers who have to use field glasses/binoculars just to see that there are people on the field, but it also puts pressure on the girls to be stick-skinny. Another part of that is that K/J/C have put these girls into a very unhealthy atmosphere for getting to, or maintaining, a healthy weight for each individual girl. From the little I've seen on the show and from what I've heard elsewhere (including here), K/J/C don't care as much about the girls' health (mental or physical) as much as they do about appearance in uniform among other things.
And now, I'll get off my soapbox because people already know how I "hate" on K/J/C due to their lack of knowledge (and that they don't care to educate themselves) on the topics of nutrition (especially in dancers), how metabolism changes, and many other things that would be beneficial for these girls.
I cannot love this enough! I’ve often thought exactly what you’ve written so well - today’s teams seem much less memorable than those before, and the weight issue is a major reason. Thank you for taking the time to write this!

i love that she wore pants and her hair up! She doesn't need bling, her skills do the talking. She's just fantastic.
After every that went down last year Kelli, Judy and Charlotte should be thanking Maddie for being the breath of fresh air that she is. That her solo was so good only adds to her appeal; as Laurenbrook said - she let her skills do the talking. Everyone else should take note.

2021 Auditions, Finals, and Training Camp
in S16
I watched the video and was focusing on Gina. She had energy, was a natural with the dance steps and seemed to truly enjoy being there. Plus, as someone else noted, she had that extra sparkle (ala Kashara) that should be part of the point.
Rachel looked like she was counting the steps in her head. “1,2,3,4, spin, spin, hip thrust, hip thrust, tilt the head, flip the hair, pageant smile, pageant smile”. She had the steps but seemed to lack the flow between steps and continuity across the dance. In a circle with the whole team, or even aground level shot with the girls in this video, they’d be dancing circles around her (and not just because they’d be in a circle). The girls may like her, doesn’t justify her election as point. Give that the Gina and any number of the equally qualified ladies.
