Hey, some diversity! Not with respect to character names, but still.

Well, Jason still isn't going to be winning a Father-of-the-Year award. I know this is from yesterday's episode, but I really hate the fact that they are still going with Aiden-the-baker is gay. It just seems so stereotypical, and in this day and age should not be the story they are telling.

After being forced to leave Carly's, why did Jason go the bridge? Why not go to Elizabeth's? You know...she's a nurse...the mother of his eldest son...

I would have expected Sonny-now-Carly's house to have the equivalent of a priest hole where Jason could hide. Shouldn't a mob king-pin have a secret room where his family could secretly hide if the house is ever attacked by rivals or the police suddenly show up?

It sure is looking that way. So I guess we're just supposed to forget how freaked out she was by the notes about Austin and gun that appeared in her condo?

I loved seeing the flashback to Lila. Loved it. There is no matriarch in any way similar to her, which is a shame.

I'm feeling really sorry for Eden McCoy. She returned to work after her mother's death only to have her character grieve Spencer's death and now Dex's departure. I guess the only good thing is that she didn't return earlier and have to play Joss grieving her grandmother Bobbi as well. I think the girl needs some cheery and happy scenes right now.

When people have been looking at photos of Spencer and reminiscing, why are all the photos of Nicolas Bechtel? ALL the photos have been of him. It makes me a little nervous that they will bringing him back as Spencer. I know that that wouldn't really work, but all the photos have been of him, so I need some reassurance that my imagination is going wild and this isn't in the realms of possibility.

If they couldn't recover the bodies of Spencer and Esme, why does it look as though coffins have been buried? Is burying an empty coffin a thing?

I have two questions/remarks. 1. Have we just given up on solving Austin's murder? 2. Yes, Anna shot a child. But said child was a 14/15 year old who appeared to have entered Anna's home uninvited. It's not like she shot a toddler in a playground. (Not that there is ever a reason to shoot someone. Proud Canadian here.)

After being reminded today of how much I dislike the sanctimonious crowd (Willow, Carly, Drew, and Michael, I'm calling you out), I'm glad I'm taking a week's vacation as of tomorrow and will get a break from them. Same goes for Finn and Elizabeth. But Tracy? I'll miss you while I'm away.

Isn't Amy Vining on the wall?

When Ruby (Bobbie's aunt), who actually worked at Kelly's as well as owning it, died, I had kind of hoped they'd rename Kelly's after her. It would have been more fitting than naming it Bobbie's when we only very rarely saw Bobbie there.

Casting definitely does a better job hiring little girls than little boys. Donna and Avery are not annoying, unlike Wylie and James.

Is Laura ever going to get around to telling Ava that Nicholas is alive?

YES! Also - the sap doesn't just flow easily into the buckets. Even if it came out of the trees as syrup (which is does not), it would take a long time collect enough for pancakes for 1, let alone 2.

Kody and his "Christine is turning the kids against me" rant...dude, odds are the older kids watch the show themselves and can see and hear what you are saying. And can figure out for themselves what you actually think of their mother and themselves. But I'd bet Dayton, Aurora and Breana aren't allowed to watch the show, which is why the girls are still parroting Robyn's interpretation of events. Kody is going to be in for a massive shock when Ari becomes a teenager and no longer thinks he's the best thing since sliced bread. Girl already has a strong personality.

I'm losing count - is this nuMolly #3? In how many months?

I really, really hope that it turns out Curtis was the intended target all along.

Kody insisting that Janelle's sons apologize to Robyn for blaming her for the Covid rules came up again (of course), and I realized that he probably does think they were his rules, not hers. There was that whole conversation a couple of episodes ago and Kody wondered whether he should just invite the boys to Christmas, and Robyn asked "would that really be safe", which of course brought doubt into his mine so he didn't. And of course he has no clue that Robyn manipulated him into that decision. When Covid hit, at the very beginning, the film crew left and the family filmed themselves on cell phones talking in cars and stuff. And Robyn kept talking about her worries for Sol in particular as he had pneumonia once. (Which, I'll admit, I get the worry at the time it happened - when everything first shut down no one knew who was at risk or what the risk really was or what was going to happen. By the time it aired, though, the general consensus was that he wouldn't have been at any more risk than anyone else.) But you KNOW that all that talk about Sol was to get Kody to create the crazy list of rules. So while Kody may think the Covid rules were all his idea, the boys know perfectly well that washing the mail was likely due to Robyn prompting him by asking what if Covid is on the envelope. They know Robyn knows how to get him to do what she wants in such a way that Kody thinks it's all his idea.

Nik isn't smart enough to be full-on Cassadine. The Cassadines were clever and evil. This Nik is just...overbearing. No no no no no no no no no no no no. Do not put that suggestion out into the ether.

Does this mean we are finally, finally finished with 2021?

What exactly did Kristina do about the surrogacy thing that made nunuMolly and TJ so frustrated? Because as far as I can remember, all she did was mention surrogacy and being a possible surrogate to Sam and Alexis, and Molly overheard and flipped out because she wasn't up to hearing about surrogacy at that point in time. Am I missing something?

I had no idea that people who want to smuggle goods into countries print their name on the crates. I was under the impression one tried to hide stuff one is smuggling. Silly me.

I know that Ava and Sonny don't know that Nik is actually still alive, which is why they talk about getting his body back. But...do they REALLY want the body of someone who died I-don't-remember-how-many-months-ago? Because it's not really going to be in particularly good shape after all this time.
