  1. No. You would say "It's just me here.
  2. Stella admitted she was still worked up after her rant to Kevin. I think if that hadn't happened, she wouldn't have said anything to Tracy. And as you noted, Stella did apologize. And Tracy admitted she'd been rude to Stella (heh). I wouldn't mind seeing those two team up for something. The actors are good and the characters can stand up to each other. Neither is a pushover. Everyone is acting as if this guy is some sort of Perez Hilton back in the day. Nothing he's posted so far has been false.
  3. I always want the unconscious person to wake up and tell the person talking to them to stop yammering and let them get some rest, LOL. Or, if the person talking is spilling secrets, the sleeper tells all. Hee. I can get behind Nina as the town shit-stirrer, especially when her facts are true and they're aimed at Joss. Nina's desperation for Sonny is gross. "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.) I'm confused: I thought the first time Marshall was diagnosed with anything was after he was arrested at the civil rights protest. And once he learned he was supposedly schizophrenic, that label stuck for decades. When did he seek help for his anxiety before coming to Port Charles? And wasn't that the first time he seriously started wondering about the diagnosis? (Before that, it seemed to me that he didn't want to examine things too closely.) They wrapped up this story very quickly. Not that I'm complaining, but I find it a bit facile for Marshall to say we're all humans, and he's going to be a good Christian and forgive the poor shrink who misdiagnosed him. LOL at Joss being shocked and angry that Dex might have gone through with killing Cyrus after being hired as a hit man for Sonny. I can't take this level of stupidity. Does this breakup mean Dex is on his way out? Fingers crossed!
  4. Nepo baby Gwyneth Paltrow was harassed by Harvey Weinstein early in her career, so no one is out of reach. She was dating Brad Pitt at the time, and he told Weinstein to cool it, as he (Pitt) had more power than she did at the time. Bob Evans told Sharon Stone to sleep with Billy Baldwin during the filming of "Sliver" in order to make their onscreen love scenes "more believable," and Stone was coming off "Basic Instinct." No one is immune from slimeballs acting like assholes. I'd like to think things are better today after #MeToo, but they're probably just less overt, alas.
  5. I don't think it's ominous for the DA to expect the ADAs to be on the same page as they are. I think there should be wiggle room depending on the specific case, but if a DA wants to be the type to go for a maximum sentence every time, for example, that's their prerogative. IMO Baxter is right that if his team doesn't basically agree with his goals for the office, they should leave. It does no one any favors to be working at cross purposes. And as for him not getting back to Price with a decision about that case, again, he was right that he's not Price's dad. It's important for Baxter to know how Price thinks, and that was a way to get some information about that. Maybe this will light a fire under Price (and by extension Maroun) to be more careful about cases and start due diligence earlier than halfway through a trial. I think Price leaned on Jack a bit too much, and it's nice to watch him (Price) have to make his own decisions and stand by them for a change. Anyway, it's Tony Goldwyn's first episode. Given how the DA is historically not a giant part of the even the law side of things, I expect we'll learn more about Baxter as the season progresses. I thought they did a decent job of immediately establishing him as someone who isn't Jack or JackLite.
  6. If there's no contractual reason for things to be roughly 50/50, I'd rather see more of the investigation anyway. The reliance on video is a bit tedious (if likely accurate), but at least Shaw and Riley aren't constantly putting their feet into things the way Price and Maroun are.
  7. That basically makes her a female AJ or Julian, and look what happened to them. I don't mind Nina being an outsider, but she has to have some friends/allies—and I don't mean Valentin—in order to be viable. What day is it supposed to be? Doesn't Joss have class?
  8. If Price and Maroun are any indication of the quality of the ADAs, the firings are warranted, IMO. The only reason those two weren't canned is they're the stars of the show, LOL. But the firings were also to show that Baxter is no-nonsense and maybe even a bit of a meanie (rme). Grow up, you two. Your jobs aren't guaranteed for life.
  9. She's not involved. She left GH when everyone was talking to Robert about Heather. Heather still needs to be offscreen for at least six months before any modulation happens. And I still find it annoying that the show doesn't have the guts to get rid of characters who are long past their freshness date. There are so many on this show that need to be cut loose.
  10. That's exactly what I was thinking. Stop reforming people, Show. Let the terrible villains be terrible villains, and get rid of them accordingly.
  11. Of course we aren't rid of Heather. I don't care if her health issues are legit. Where are Portia's flexible medical ethics now? LOL at Joss's petulance and refusing to help Dex pack. And of course they end up having sex. That's why she doesn't want Dex to leave. Gregory, you can easily ask for ADA accommodations. I wish the show would have mentioned that. (Or did it? The "special report" broke in for about 10 minutes, and we missed a bit of that scene between Alexis and Gregory.) Gregory can still decide he doesn't want to continue working at the Invader, but at least he's not run out of the paper because of Nina's jerkiness. And wow, are they making her a jerk.
  12. And/or Michael, and I'd also think Jason would try to keep Sonny out of jail if only for how that would affect Sonny's family. So for me, big loud snore at poor poor Jason's dilemma. Not that I really expected something interesting. Same. Sonny will never pay for his crimes, so all of these stories are destined to go nowhere as far as that goes. When Sonny's claustrophobia is treated as a legitimate reason to not imprison him, you know nothing will happen to him. Even if Wagger is a decent foil at the moment, he'll end up like the rest: a Sonny apologist and/or disgraced LEO. Too bad the option of sleeping with Sonny is off the table. That would at least mix things up a bit.
  13. That was so irritating. Halfway through the trial is when they decide to do a deep dive into the defendant? I can't with these kinds of beyond-idiotic "twists." I like how Baxter is already getting under Nolan's skin. I was mostly neutral on Nolan, but the writing for him has made him look very stupid, and Hugh Dancy is kind of leaning in to the worst parts of that. When Baxter asked Nolan if he was handing in his resignation, part of me wished Nolan had said yes and flounced out. But of course he'd return the next day and say it was the heat of the moment. Sigh. The law side is so much weaker than the order side.
  14. Same, but of course it's being handled in the most ham-handed way possible. And the pacing is beyond terrible. Is baked ziti the only thing Lois (and Olivia) know how to make? I wish Jason had shot Dante, if only to stick it to Carly and Michael's faith in Jason. But no one is ever wrong when it comes to Jason. Of course Drew would go to prison again for Carly in a heartbeat. He's choosing her over his daughter. Hmm... Can Friday please be the last day we see Heather?
  15. Is today the first day SBu is in the opening slideshow? I haven't been paying close attention, and it caught my eye today. As amazed as I am that men stick with Carly knowing that Jason will always be her top priority, I'm equally amazed that she's stunned when they break up with her because of that. Carly's about-face on Crimson was hilarious: She told Drew she didn't want to keep working there, but then when he says he can't see her every day now that they're kaput, she cries that she's being fired. Danny, how hard it is to explain to Michael that an injured Jason is in the boathouse and needs help? That's all you had to say. Way to make Willow an accessory after the fact, Michael, even if she went willingly like the blindingly obedient wife she is. "Your intel is whack." LOL, what year are we in? I am now waiting for Marshall to call that doctor a turkey. Not sure what Jordan was complaining about when she was very amenable to be a deputy mayor.
