I'd be all for Kevin and Laura being a modern-day Nick and Nora Charles, sipping Whiskey and solving murders. They had that kind of mature chemistry in those scenes, connecting the dots while Jordan was absolutely useless.

Jordan. Originally Kevin was a match but because the physical after effects when he was trapped at the psych ward when Ryan switched places, he couldn’t donate. Curtis got a bunch of medical people to take Ryan’s kidney and have Kevin pretend to be Ryan to give consent to the procedure. Was that retconned? Asking because I seem to remember Laura saying that Kevin was pre-diabetic and couldn't donate a Kidney.

Yep, that was beyond unrealistic. Maybe Becky could have Googled worker's comp to find out how it actually worked? Even worse, Jackie, who's supposed to be older and wiser, went right along with it, while realizing doing so is fraud. Sometimes these folks dig their own graves with spoons, other times with shovels.

Well, Delilah is French, just sayin'

So did I. People have all kinds of fetishes and Eddie was totally correct in questioning her motives - she was kind of "fan-girling" men in chairs without first providing some context. Still, I liked Eddie's date other than that, and maybe she'll give him another chance. In the meantime, he's headed to University, maybe he'll meet someone there. Great and Eddie do have a nice, unexpected sibling chemistry and I don't much like Greta. Did anyone else expect that Maggie's Boss was going to offer Gary the temporary hosting gig? Nice fake-out DJ. I'd really rather not see Sophie if these are going to be the kind of storylines she gets. The actor is too likable and capable for this kind of crap-tacular writing. And as other posters have said, Sophie really needs some friends her own age, not a bunch of 30-somethings. Well, it least it takes some focus away from Rome's depression. Overall though this S/L has been surprisingly well-done. IMO, the break did this show a lot of good. Two episodes in the writing has been much better - these are the shows we should have been getting for the past four years, and most of us wouldn't have been so frustrated. Oh well.

Even though Darlene and Becky had moments of clarity, they were both all shades of AWFUL this week. It somehow feels wrong that Darlene gets a gig by being her normal, objectionable self. The biggest problem with many adult members of the Conners clan is that no one is truly interested in positive self-change. Yet they wonder why everything always goes badly for them.

because he didn't give up the family name. becuse he wants to show his kids that the Corinthos name means more than just "mobtacular stuff" (per his conversation w/Sonny, And that's another thing. Who willingly hangs on to the surname of a man who killed their biological father? Just when he's beginning to connect with that man. Clearly speaks to what an irredeemably sick puppy Mikey is. Oh, and because it can't be said enough: Die Willow Die!!!!!!

Yep I noted that too. Mikey is only a Quartermaine when it's convenient.

This may be a UO, but I thought this episode really wasn't all that bad as AMLT goes. Sadly, the characters were all consistent - Gary stealing the candy bar is EXACTLY what we'd expect him to do. Maggie was Maggie, just preggo. Too late to fix these folks now. I'm basically tuning in to see the three or four characters I actually like/care about - Rome, Gina, Eddie (mostly) and Sophie (they really don't know what to do with her, and the actor/character really deserves better). But I agree, this show could have been SO much more than it has been. Maybe it will finish strong, but I kind of doubt it.

That baby looks like she's old enough to order steak, potatoes and a nice cold beer for lunch.

It feels like we witnessed the emergence of a real rising star yesterday. The calm, quiet confidence NAC demonstrated while dressing down Dickolas was truly outstanding. He seemed like a TRUE Cassadine in that scene. Seems like NAC's first nervous day on GH was eons ago. He's come a long way as a young actor. As far as Dickolas is concerned, no sympathy for him from this viewer. He's not a deranged sociopath, or a narcissistic megalomanic like Helena, Mikos, Stavros or even Victor. All of Nic's bad acts are willfully, deliberately considered. Then when someone calls him out on his BS, he immediately defaults to his "I wanna be a better man" shtick. Even Laura seems to be tired of it at this point.

Oh, they'd have to do many, many hours of penance and get countless hours of therapy before one could honestly call them awful human beings.

It is highly unlikely the show truly intended to kill Luke Spencer off in an offscreen ski lift accident. Whatever happens or whoever appears, there is no way IMO that that was not intended as some fakeout. In the meantime, it is insane that no one on the show has taken retribution against Victor for allegedly executing it. Laura, Robert and Lucky alone would not stop until he was dead. I will not be surprised at all if TG appears as part of the anniversary to resolve this, but one way or another whatever people's feelings about Luke or TG it is ridiculous they have left that story point hanging for so long. I can remember when Luke/TG was "must-see" soap and sadly, am one of his few supporters on this board. A return would be mind-blowing if the Actor is amenable to it. Everyday life in Amsterdam can't possibly be so compelling that TG couldn't take a few weeks away. Plus, I read that he simply adores JE, so a return from the dead might be a possibility. After all, Laura returned from the dead so many times that the GH kid characters actually made a game of it in the 90s.

I really don't think this show puts enough focus on the fact that Nina and Willow both have diagnosable mental illnesses. In the real world neither one of them would or should be allowed around vulnerable children.

Disgusting. If there was ever a good time for a truly effective double hooking that was it.

I couldn't agree more. As introduced, Esme has been nothing more than a one-note, "totally misunderstood bad girl/psycho" with no other identifying characteristics. Even the last bad-girl, Nell, dragged that ridiculous vision-board around with her like it was some kind of security blanket. But it also gave Nell some context and humanized her in a way. She was a person, despite doing awful things, that harbored some kind of hopes and dreams for a better future. We get none of that from Esme. I really do believe she's not faking the amnesia, and if so, it may be permanent, giving the writers a window to redeem the character.

I'm brand new to the show, but damn, some of these Yellowstone women are so bashed-up in the face due to all the fighting they do. A plastic surgeon's dream. And yes, as another poster said, John Dutton is a cowboy version of Tony Soprano. But a lot deadlier and ruthless apparently. Tony engaged in a lot of hand-wringing (mostly) before deciding to kill people.

Funniest thing I've read in ages. I can just imagine Faison saying "no time to stalk Anna today or to try and kill Robert, Luke, or Duke. My little Britta has a recital this afternoon and I've got to be in the front row."

The photos threw me at first because so many were not anything from the episodes. KT seems to have been a joyful young girl who loved life. She was smiling in virtually every childhood snap. Probably has made her RL parents very proud and happy, methinks. As others have posted, KT certainly appears to be a fave among her co-stars, much as Kristoff St. John was over on Y&R before he passed... Took me quite some time to warm up to Britta/KT, but now I'll certainly miss her. Has there been any rumors about her next gig? For some reason I really see her doing will on a CSI-type of procedural.

Cyrus was clearly today's MVP. And he really shouldn't have to cajole Laura into accepting his help against Victor. Right now the body count is relatively low, with only Luke (for whatever reason, seems like a pointless off-screen kill). Victor defines "clear and present danger" as he's shown no qualms about taking out Laura, Lesley or anyone else he deems necessary. Did anyone else catch that Martin got ahead of Cyrus with not one, but two scriptures to mockingly support the latter's argument? Maybe Awesome Writer can craft a scene where Cyrus quotes Ezekiel 25:17, ala Jules Whitfield in Pulp Fiction.

The main problem with Chase (as well as the Actor), is that I don't see or hear the love for singing. Rick Springfield and Jack Wagner (despite his issues) seemed to have equal passion for acting and music. Even John Stamos looked like he enjoyed drumming and the guy was no Ringo Starr. For some reason I've always loved this obscure Jack Wagner GH duet from back in the day: Jack Wagner and Edie Lehmann

More than that, can anyone else recall a Soap with virtually NO couples you can root for? Mac/Felicia feel like an obligatory root because they're Legacy characters. Austin/Maxie was a misfire from day one. Dante/Sam are just kind of...there (and he deserves better than Sorry Sam). Ned/Olivia? No one really cares. Curtis/Portia had potential, then he turned into an insufferable arse and she into a boring, squealing schoolgirl. Sonny/Nina? Old psychos in love. Laura and Kevin haven't been on in ages. I'm really missing the heat we used to get from Alan/Monica, Luke/Laura and even Robert/Holly (90s iteration). The couples we're stuck with now don't generate as much heat as Lee and Gail Baldwin, sadly.

Hmm. Maybe we'll see a Snow Globe in Joss's Dorm Room one day.

Wow - that's quite a memory you have there! Color me impressed.

Fascinating coincidence - the other day after Nic's faux "reveal" about Elizabeth, part of Ava's response included "the two of you rutting like pigs." That was the exact same line Lucky used years ago when he discovered Nic's real affair with Elizabeth. Wonder if that dialog was written by the same scribe, or just a fun call-back?
