So true! I had planned to post the same thing. I grew up in Brooklyn during the 60s and 70s - the Bensonhurst Olivia and Lois reminisce about ceased to exist in the early 1990s. But I guess these writers have no real reference point. In other news, I'm really going to miss the Evil Warden. Her Braid Game was top-notch. If she only knew how to smile, she'd make the cover of Black Hair Magazine, if it still exists. In the 80s and 90s, Anita Baker was on the cover every damn month. But her Hair Game was pretty fierce too.

Actually, the lesser Carlys turn to dust and vanish. As demons have been known to do.

Preach. Overall, their trip was handled well. Man, I'm gonna miss the replacement writers - they are a significant upgrade from the regular crew. Hopefully, some of them stay around. I've a torrent of mixed emotions around Sprina. As I've mentioned before, TA really resembles pictures of my Mom at a comparable age, right down to the skin tone, so the Sprina love scenes have me reaching for the remote. Also, when relieved of the uber-serious, heavy stuff, NC comes across as fun, very charming, and prince-like. It will be interesting to see where the regular writers go with this.

The 3 p.m showing was find. But the show will be preempted on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday for the MLB wild card games. Ugh. Since my Yankees were eliminated from post-season play a week ago, I'd really rather watch GH, which is really saying something. Wasn't it though? I was thinking the exact same thing! We usually get about two or three of those conversations yearly on GH.

To quote Larry the Cable Guy: "That right there is funny, I don't care who ya are."🤣😂 ETA: Barbie never had so many high-quality accessories.

It's a distinct possibility you will be. The NuMolly Store must be running low on stock by now, and they clearly can't re-purpose the defective returns.

Preach. She's always annoyed me. Other than her love for Trina, Portia doesn't have one redeeming trait that I can see. Yet Tracy gets constantly vilified. Ugh. ETA - Portia's semi-apology to Anna was one of the worst I've ever seen. I personally would rather have the Witch stay mad at me. Anna can be much too compassionate sometimes as with the whole Peter thing.

Yes!!!! The Stadler and Waldorf of Port Chuckles!!!! I'd sign-up for that spin-off any day of the week and twice on Sunday.

People tend to believe what doctors tell them, especially those who don't have a science background. The court-appointed psychiatrist tells Sasha that she needs to take these pills to get better, it's not surprising that she does what she is told. You would think that, but the creation of Google has changed everything. One time I had a very bad reaction to an Rx my Cardiologist prescribed, literally thought I was going to kick the bucket. Googled the pills and found out it had...snake venom derivative in it. Informed my Dr. about it, she kind of giggled and said, " I know, about 10% of all patients have that same reaction." From that point on I've been using the web to research any new meds. At the very least Sasha could have gotten a second opinion and we would have been spared the endless torture porn.

GH hasn't done corporate stories well since any iteration of Edward Q. was alive. It's great that we got the brilliant JE back, but a damn shame the writers don't know what to do with her. So many of the recent S/Ls seem redundant and anti-climatic.

@Sake614 - It may not be anything, actually. I saw something earlier today about televised political courtroom proceedings in GA. Seems like only the Cable News outlets are covering it, thankfully.

Does anyone know if today's show will be pre-empted for a news event?

Original recipe Nik was always my favorite, but...looking at old YT videos, TC actually was rather lumbering. Never noticed that before. Nice catch @30 Helens ETA: Being a guy, I never considered that one or both of the Carlys may be wearing weaves. I always thought LW's Mane of golden, luxurious hair was all hers - it's one of Carly Sr's most re-deeming traits.

I know why Kelly's has become more popular with the Carlys working the Counter now. It's their "Kelly's World-Famous BLT Special - Now with 50% more long blond hairs at no charge!!!!" There's a method to the "no hair nets" madness. Catching up on past episodes, I'm loving Cyrus the Reformer! With all that scenery-chewing on Friday, it's like he's parodying every televangelist that ever lived. Oh, where have you gone, Reverend Ike?

Overall the replacement writers have done a good job, but the Sasha torture porn has gone from unpleasant to plain uncomfortable to watch. At least when Anthony Z. murdered poor, helpless Siobhan McKenna in her hospital bed it was a one-and-done scene. We have to watch Sasha suffer two or three times weekly, not good. Not good at all. On a more positive note, Kristina has become my favorite of the Davis Coven. With the self-esteem issues behind her, Krissy has an upbeat, level-headed personality, plus a very kind face and manner. Seems like the writers agree and we're seeing a lot of her now.

His name is Mason Gatlin which is Austin's mother's maiden name (hence his own name Austin Gatlin Holt), so does anyone remember if Charity Gatlin had a brother that would be Mason's father? Actually, @perkie1968, that was ciarra's comment. To me, when Brick and Sonny were flipping photos like baseball cards I actually did see a familial resemblance between Austin and Mason. And oh, the days of Jimmie Lee Holt - GH really did have some good comedy relief back then.

Oddly enough, Mason and Austin do look like relatives. As for Olivia, she likes putting the "girls" on display, I think. Sad that she's now the Matriach of the Q family, while Tracy gets hated on by everyone, even Leo. Guessing Leslie Charleson's illness is keeping her from working at all.

I'm kinda digging the replacement writers. The dialogue seems more realistic and the storylines are moving at a brisker pace. There's also a lot of social justice stuff going on, shades of the 90s. Kristina's idea to have a program for LBGTQ youth is actually pretty cool - urban centers like NYC and SF piloted those many years ago. Plus, Krissy really looks like the offspring of Alexis and Sonny - she has a lot of NLG's mannerisms and facial expressions as well. Cyrus's idea to give all his $ away to help his fellow inmates is pretty nifty too. This might be as good as it gets folks.

You hit on a good point. Michael isn’t smart. In fact, it would be easier to list everyone who isn’t smarter. My list would start with Moss.

Did you mean to say Blouse? In America men wear shirts, LOL. But since it's Mikey, you're probably right.

Because he's a deplorable little Arsehole. And poor Nina just stands there and takes it. Cringeworthy. If Ava and Sonny are smart they'll hire Betty - torture her on a daily basis and use her to feed mis-information to the latest "Big Bad." All they have to do is ask themselves "what would Tony Soprano do?" Although he'd probably kill them all after the requisite amount of hand-wringing. In other news, Rebecca Herbst is so beautiful it actually hurts to look at her (TM Bruce Willis).

I hear tell that some folks have several shots right after watching GH. It really helps so I hear!

Almost felt/sounded like a threat, didn't it???? LOL. Though Curtis's ego would have him as a Pip (as in Gladys Knight and the ...). Heh. Curtis shows absolutely no signs of having any rhythm. Like me, he's probably one of those Black men that loves music, but can't dance worth a lick. Now the Pips? Those Brothers could MOVE, right up there with the Temptations and the Spinners.

Really does seem like there's a fire sale on Mollies, doesn't it? Buy one, get two free - each one older and more shrill than the last? I actually thought this nunu Molly was Esme for a second. Casting really has to keep going back to the Nu Molly store until they get the right one. Also, while it's always good to see JK, the Sasha torture porn just has to stop. What did the actress do to TIIC??? Davis Coven: while I haven't had much use for KeMo in a long time, I do enjoy the apparent RL affection she seems to have for NLG. Their scenes always play like real mother-daughter interaction - KeMo always does subtle little things like inter-twining her arm around NLG's or hand holding. It's nice, actually. ETA: After Sasha's latest meltdown, my guess is Cody has a rare blood-type and only Mac is an available match. Otherwise the stabbing makes no sense. But neither do a lot of things on GH.

Does anyone know how the actor's strike will impact GH? Are soap actors and crews exempt?
