Weirdly, I find LW a warm presence, even if Carly isn't usually. KM is a cooler customer, but I also think Kristina has been written mostly adversarially since she took over the role, so it's appropriate for that. Anna was railing at Jason about his choices, so I think he had standing to push back about hers. But yes, no more tears about this from Anna. Ugh. Who is telling FH to make this choice? It makes no sense (TFGH). I guess they wanted to amp up the drama for the surrogacy story? It didn't work—everyone, for different reasons, comes off unhinged.
-
I also wonder if they wanted to recast to get someone who looked a bit older. LA has always looked so young.

It really was. It's also at least the second time Trina has had to tell her that she is going to have a relationship with Ava on her terms, not Joss's. Joss keeps saying she respects why Trina feels a bond with Ava, but it's clear she doesn't when she keeps ragging Trina about it. Joss needs to butt out. (As if!) Oh, Anna. Asking Jason to choose between your world and Sonny's is only going to disappoint you. He'll never choose yours! You should know better. I don't care what the tock's name is or who it honors. If Wagger isn't dead by next week at the latest, I will be shocked.
-
theoretically he should be the perfect match because he donated to Lulu before. It's what brought him to Port Charles in the first place, FFS. These writers!
-
Ava continually shoots herself in the foot in the heat of the moment, to mix metaphors. I don't think telling the truth would change anyone's mind that she wasn't responsible for Kristina going out the window, but it would have made the business about the luggage moot, and not lying means she won't have to recant her statement and give a new one.
-
I haven't had a c-section, but I have had major rounds of abdominal surgery, and I wasn't in a tremendous amount of pain. Everyone has a different threshold. For me the bigger medical issue was that Kristina was discharged, what, two days after the surgery? The hospital is supposed to be better than that. Sonny would cover any expenses insurance wouldn't. My point was that people were swanning in and out of her room as if it wasn't in the PCPD. I know that's pretty par for the course here, but people are always supposed to be suffering like they've never suffered before, when the worst thing is maybe they have to sleep on a four-inch mattress with 100-count sheets. Carly was in jail overnight and everyone acted as if she'd spent a year in the gulag. It's ridiculous.
-
If Michael can call Sonny "dad," Molly can call Jordan her MIL.
-
Cyrus! Brad! Sam! Is this old home week? Wow, Kristina is really suffering. She's upstairs in an interrogation room, her brother brought her soup, her dad can visit her seemingly at will. Maybe Wagger will end up the victim of a whodunit. The character has been so destroyed I'd rather they get rid of him for good than have him scuttle out of town having been bested by Sonny. Sonny feels guilty about Karen? Sure, Jan. That's why it's always someone else's fault.
-
Brad gives a good jolt of energy to a show that desperately needs it.
-
Olivia banned them from having sex at any time, the buzzkill.
-
I love that formal British riding kit.
-
Wow, Brad and Teri, and it's not even Pride. I had to laugh at her reference to his "extremely checkered past as a GH employee." That's certainly a polite way to phrase it. I liked how Brad owned up to all of his shenanigans. Too bad he's one of the few who does. Could the desk sergeant be more of a Jason toadie? Who cares if he's been waiting patiently for Anna? So gross. I love how Wagger said he wouldn't litigate (figure of speech! the case against Kristina in the middle of GH while doing exactly that. It would be vaguely more interesting to watch this if the deck wasn't stacked quite so high against Wagger. We know Sonny and his side will win anyway, but it would be nice to see him have to make even a small effort beyond the usual posturing. Sigh. The pearl-clutching about the kids seeing adults have sex cracks me up. It's always as vanilla as can be. Sasha and Cody were in his room, not going at it on the stable floor. Jason is an idiot to give Anna any more grace periods when it comes to Valentin.
-
I think James is owed an explanation in this instance. He loves riding and being with Cody, yet Mac unilaterally and suddenly decides James can't do either, for no reason at all. Absolutely this. Running away—again!—is not the way to deal with frustration, and James is old enough to understand that. He should have some genuine consequences, but the show really punts when it comes to parenting. For kids of any age, heh. Maxie did yell at Mac for making that decision, and Mac admitted it wasn't his place, but that was the end of it.
-
The writing for and about the kids is generally awful. They are excruciating to watch. That was in the heat of the reveal. Mac hung on to his anger and didn't talk to Cody after that. Be mad for a while, sure. But Mac isn't going to get to know Cody or trust him if they don't talk more. Whatever. They're besties now that dumbo James brought them together.
-
An estranged brother isn't the same as an unknown son. Once Cody admitted he was Mac's son, he confessed to everything else about the lie and was remorseful. Mac ignored Cody for weeks. He deserved a "snap out of it!" from Felicia. When was he going to be a grownup and start using his words? All he had to do was tell Cody he needed some time to process everything, but instead Mac stomped his feet and took out his anger on his dumbo grandson. His 8-year-old dumbo grandson.
-
He has complained at least twice about living with all women, which is one reason he glommed onto Cody, especially while Mac was on his sekrit trip (aka JJY's medical leave). But tough beans, kid. Your life is pretty good. If living with three women and Spinelli is your biggest gripe, suck it up. And Mac doesn't need to be a bio dad. It's even worse because said kid is male. Oh, Mac has said raising Georgie and Maxie was the best thing he'd ever done and he didn't regret a minute of it, but the show tells me otherwise by giving Mac a male bio kid.
-
Ugh, so I guess we're stuck with Heather for the time being. Sigh.
-
Both she and Sylvie were very boobs-forward in this episode. I was surprised Sylvie's stayed put—she must have been using some strong tape to keep things in place. I'm also glad there's no baby, but I don't need round zillion of the stupid Emily/Gabriel/Camille triangle. Fun fact: The actor who played Sylvie's mother, Liliane Rovère, was in Call My Agent!, as was Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu, though I don't think they shared any scenes. In the previews for the second batch of episodes,
-
LOL that sex on a roof is "the gray area" for Emily. The weather still seemed fairly temperate, and Gabriel stocked the place with enough blankets it wouldn't matter too much. But you be vanilla you, Emily!
-
I kind of dug it, and I absolutely LOVED the giant cape she was wearing over it. I thought that was rude. Hadn't she told Alfie she'd be with him? On the other hand, Alfie should know by now not to trust Emily's feelings for him.
-
That was pretty insulting, especially because Luc was working on the same project; it's not as if he had to take over on something he knew next to nothing about. That would have made more sense for him to be completely at sea.
-
For that particular fashion show, I thought Mindy looked appropriate, and I think Nico went too far in the other direction (staid Chanel-style dress). At lease she was able to sell it, but the price seemed way too low for couture—less than 4,000 euros? (Unless it was actually prêt-a-porter, and then she got a good deal.) Oh, Mindy. That's not going to fund your Eurovision dreams!
-
It was a lame attempt to give Cody some tie to the canvas, because everyone has to be related or know someone. As if it makes any difference. The show usually ignores the tie after the initial introduction, so I don't know why they think I should care. News flash, Show: I NEVER CARED.
-
Add Wiley to that list. To be fair, Molly didn't know she had endo before the diagnosis, and we don't know if she'd seen a gyn about the painful sex before that. (Meaning any exams before then weren't specifically looking for endo, which is notoriously overlooked and can be hard to diagnose.) A relationship we saw next to nothing of until the domestic-partner thing—and then they disappeared until the baby rabies. The show skips giant swathes of their lives, yet we have to watch Carly have her umpteenth discussion with Joss about Joss's wooden log of a boyfriend.
-
I hate that the breakup is going to be framed more as "we knew this was coming; they never argued before" rather than the stress of trying to have a baby via two different surrogates, losing both of those babies, and not having the proper conversations about any of it. It was all so sudden. Both TJ and Molly aren't even 30, so it's not as if there was any great need to have the baby immediately. Anna has always knows what an awful criminal Sonny is, but she's turned a blind eye because of Robin's fondness for him. It's so stupid people are never allowed to hold more than one opinion. Sonny loves his kids so therefore he can't be a terrible person. Yes, he can! Sonny gives away a lot of money to various charities so he can't be at terrible person. Yes, he can! Good grief. I don't think people are mad at Mac for being angry with Cody, they're mad because he's stomping his feet and pouting about it. He hadn't tried to talk to Cody after the reveal on July 4, instead going out of his way to avoid Cody and ban his grandson from doing one of his favorite activities. At least all of that is done and the story can move forward.
