    Even with other young people having their “first” kiss on soaps, that was the most awkward kiss I’ve ever seen. Cam seemed like he kind of knew what to do but holy cow, Trina. That was one sad attempt!

    I love reading these comments because...Trina & Cam's kiss was pretty much the same as my first kiss with my high school sweetheart.  The times really don't change, do they?😉

    He is always a heavy breather. 

    I was watching a clip of Bernie, and he is doing the same thing, breathing heavy, and sniffling.  I know that are all ill just from the campaign trail.

    With Trump it's different. He's considerably overweight, when someone's that heavy they can run out of breath before even finishing a long sentence. With Bernie, he's just so damn worked up all of the time, IMO, but I never noticed him breathing heavily.

    That might explain why McCain has been on good behavior this week, too, if she feels her job is threatened...

    Can we really tell when NutMeg is on her best behavior?  There are times where she tries to mimic being a civil human, but it's painful to watch, honestly.

    OMG, Believe. When we were in France in '99 you could not go anywhere without hearing that song blasting. Bleh, I'll always love Cher but that is a song I never need to hear again.

    For me and my ex, it was Las Vegas, summer of 1999.  Damn song was playing everywhere, even in the taxis.

    Bob is an all star, but he could do better than sour puss Abishola.

    What does he see in her?

    Have we ever seen her happy? Or even pleasant? 

    She is as joyless a character that's been on TV in a long time. I get that Bob's a lonely, middle-aged man, but damn. I get the stoic/flat-affect cultural thing, but she doesn't seem happy most of the time. Her aunt and uncle come from the same cultural background, but they have their jokes and funny interactions, which Abby isn't usually a part of.

    I was surprised to hear they were twins also, but then I was trying to remember, and I think it was mentioned in the episode when Dottie had her stroke.

    I’m not sure but I think a high Christina asks Bob if she should use her psychic twin powers to find Douglas when he’s lost.😄 Honestly I don’t know if that happened or I’m confusing it with another show 🤷🏻‍♀️

    I think that was the first time it was mentioned that they were twins.  There may have been one other occasion, though.

    And the scenes with just Abishola and Bob are the gold of the series because they really have something special on screen.

    Interesting. To me they have virtually no chemistry as a romantic couple, and only a bit as good friends. I get that it's supposed to be a mature relationship (based more on companionship than hot Monkey sex) but there's absolutely no spark between the two of them. Physical commonalities aside, Billy Gardell and Melissa McCarthy sold Mike and Molly as a couple in love, doing it realistically in about the same number of episodes as this show has aired. Even Chuck Lorre is bound to produce a dud every now and then, and this show appears to be it.

    That was the most seamless live ep I’ve ever seen! I kept forgetting it was live. Really, really well-done by all involved! Even the kids nailed it.

    I really enjoyed it too, actually think it was the best of the series.  Not surprised that Goodman and the rest of the vets nailed it, but was amazed at how good the younger actors were.

    Live TV is tough - back in the day Roc had one or two seasons of live episodes, and with their cast of theatrically trained actors there were very few flubs.  I remember a show called Un-dateable on NBC that did an entire live season, but the stars didn't have the chops and were much too meta in their performances.

    Pulling for Dan and Louise, I've always had a soft spot for that big lug.

  9. I found last night's episode to be the funniest of the series thus far - if only because I once learned the same hard lesson that Bob did; never ( and I mean never) comment on a single mother's parenting decisions.  It can only end badly, especially if there's a "baby daddy" involved. Bob clue-lessly stumbled on the landmine the same exact way I did, lol.

    Wow, Gina Yashere/Kemi is totally rocking the Clark-Kent/Superman level of transformation from plain Jane hospital worker to hot babe.

    Word. I literally did not recognize her until she started speaking.

    Abishola wouldn't have reacted so touchily to Bob's comments about Dele if she herself didn't know deep down that she is pushing him too hard.

    Sadly, everything Bob said about Dele applies to Abishola as well. She's so serious all the time, as another poster noted, it makes her seem dour and tired.  But I do see where it's coming from - most immigrants come here for a better life, and that's what she wants for her son. I'm happy to see that she kept an open mind in the end.

    Bottom line, this season's crossover was a hot mess and quite disjointed (Crisis On Earth-X was much more cohesive). Maybe MG should've spent less time trying to line up guest appearances and more time working on the storytelling and writing.

    Yeah that's pretty much how I felt. The whole event had a "video game" feel to it where characters were plugged into arbitrary situations without much explanation or exposition - the fight scenes in particular felt that way. Marvel Studios has set the bar so high with movies like Age of Ultron, Civil War, Infinity War and Endgame that DC can only struggle to compete. And other than the Wonder Woman movie it kind of feels like they've given up.

    I wasn’t watching this show when Brook Lynn (how stupid is that name?) was on originally but boy, is she an annoying, entitled, selfish and snotty woman now. I was so glad to hear Ned tell her “NO” and then “NO” again.

    ITA with you about the character, BL as written now is an annoying shrew, not Tracey 2.0. Her grandmother is calculating, shrewd, almost disarming in her ability to scheme with a smile. This character may develop over time, but other than the constant "you're just like Tracy" references and physical similarities to her grand mother, there's nothing going on there.

    The name "Brooke Lynne" is a homage to her mother's (Lois) Brooklyn, NY roots. As a Brooklyn boy born and bred, me likey. Just wish the name could be attached to a better character.

    The skirt/sweater combo on Christmas wasn't the most flattering, but I've thought she's looked good for the most part, particularly her debut ensemble with the maroon jacket.

    Being a typically shallow male (lol), I actually find the actress rather attractive. and she actually looks like she could be Tracy's biological grand-daughter. Casting has always been one of GH's few strengths. Interested in seeing what the writer's do with the Brooke Lynn character, particularly with Tracy/JE (so glad she's back) around to mentor her.

    Isn't that the truth. I like JPS, but I could use a break from the evulest Cassadine that ever Cassadined. *rme*

    Valen-teen (thanks Curtis!) has ruined the Cassadine mystique for me. Even inept Stavros was more menacing, IMO. If Luke were still around, he'd use Valentine as a substitute every time a roll of toilet paper ran out, heh.

    My girl Brook loves herself some skirts, doesn't she.  Has Amanda Setton worn pants since her arrival?

    Yeah wardrobe has done her no favors since she came on wearing the same boxy skirt for about four or five episodes in a row. I get that she's supposed to be Tracy 2.0, but JE's outfits always had style, class, and flair. BL's apparel makes her look heavy, hippy, and like she picks all her clothes from the bargain bin at K-Mart.

    When I hear “Tommy John” I think of the pitcher for whom the surgery is named.

    And I hear former Yankee Announcer Bill White (with that amazing voice) doing play-by-play: "Now Tommy John rocks and deals the 1-2 pitch...ground ball to short...."

    The Walmart ad sucks because Walmart is always a zoo so I just felt sorry for the husband.  The traffic, the crowds...and you deal with that before you even walk in the store. 

    Or if you're lucky enough to work at overnights you dash in at 2:00 am in the morning. I have done that and it's usually just me, two cashiers and five stock clerks.

  15. Nik's return notwithstanding, is anyone else as bored with this show as I am? When Valentin interrupted Nina's bug-eyed rant #867 about Sasha's betrayal, have to admit, he was totally right. Everyone's tired of hearing about it at this point, including I guess, most viewers.

    What this soap needs right now is a good action/adventure storyline, something we really haven't had since GH:Espionage. The current show-runners couldn't understand it, but those were the S/Ls that helped save GH and the entire genre back in the 70s. Mikos freezing the world. The Ice Princess. The left-handed boy. The Aztec Princess S/L. Check out YT, most of them have withstood the test of time.

    In the GH that plays in my head, Robert is still with the WSB, along with a restored Lucky and now sane Dante. That trio joins with Anna (and maybe a re-cast Frisco) to take on a new group of international baddies. Maybe old man Luke drops by to deal with Valentin and few other Cassadine stragglers. I'd actually pay to see some of that.

    Late to the game but I also didn't know who Michael was supposed to be.

    Sadly, I believe Michael was supposed to be the one and only T'Challa...the Black Panther! Incredible that they would take the whitest, blandest guy on the show and make him the King of Wakanda.

    If Guardian ever showed up to save me, I may tell him to go home......I'll take my chances and wait for the police to arrive. 

    If I had a dollar (or a Euro) for every time Guardian winds up flat on his ass....

    Also, is it just me or are the supervillains particularly lame this season?

    And let me be the first to say it - there's still a lot of Eve Tessmacher in Hope...there's just too much emoting going on. Her hugging Lena was a dead give away. The whole thing is going to blow up in Lena's face, guaranteed.

    I notice so many companies now including interracial relationships, families, couples, etc., which is great even if it did take this long.  But this is my favorite.  I can't really articulate why but it is just so real.  No over-the-top acting (in my opinion anyway) and not really hammering home the fact that it's an interracial wedding.  Plus, no one looks like they just walked off a runway.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncjfF4iVgFg

    I've noticed that trend for awhile now, MARGOCHANNING! The sad thing is when you look at the YT posters' comments and realize how troubled many people are these days. 😞

    One of the all-time funniest sitcom lines, IMO. But unless I'm mistaken, wasn't it Mr. Carlson who said it?
