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.

Do we have new Charlotte again? Or is this the original Charlotte? First the Kristina and the Mollys, now Charlotte. I'm so confused.

How many more episodes are there, because it really feels to me that this is being rushed. Maybe this is just me, as I spent time this morning in a cemetery looking for old family gravestones, but I find it very strange that Bri and Roger haven't tidied up the graveyard. Her Aunt Jenny, whom she met, is likely buried there. As are her grandparents and cousins.

The portal was in a man-made structure, right? The dam? So, before the dam was built, it was just in the middle of a river, possibly even underwater? I understand wanting to take their time to go through the letters, to savor them to a certain extent, but if the last letter is "there's an emergency and I'm coming through the stones, please meet me on Sept 30 1983 at the stones in Scotland", I'd want to know that and be there for my mother.

Curtis is going to survive and I'm going to be very disappointed, aren't I?

For a moment there I thought maybe Maxie would be buying Carly's house (we're clearly gearing up for a Maxie move). But then I realized that Maxie doesn't need a property that has security gates all around it, and security men guarding it. That seems a little over-the-top for Maxie.

So Jordan will be Police Commissioner AND Deputy Mayor? PC is in so much trouble. Also - she kisses funny. And should have kicked off those high heels.

This is one of the times that I'm so grateful to be Canadian - the idea of being a victim of a crime, and having to pay huge medical bills on top of recovering, is just so wrong on so many levels. The writers' strike may be of help to the producers of GH - it gives them time to figure out how to handle this before actually having scripts written with HP or a replacement or whatever else they choose to do.

That's fine. I watch them on YouTube.

What was the name of the beauty device Deception wants to launch? The Decepticon? Whatever it was, I would never trust any device, beauty or otherwise, based on the word "deception". No Carly, Michael, Willow or Joss? This episode was a win for me. And Tracey's "I don't have wrinkles. I have character." is my new motto.

After all the yelling and screaming at the Quartermaine mansion, I got a horrible thought - what if Monica leaves the house to Olivia when she dies?

So many thoughts. I realize Portia is worried about her daughter (did she ever mention that?), but being at the hospital, working as a doctor, while distracted by her missing daughter, is one of the stupidest things. Who would want to be treated by a doctor who is distracted? Worry at home, stay away from the hospital. I agree with everyone who said Willow should be asking Carly to play nice with Nina as well. This is not and never has been a one-sided dispute. Willow can go ahead and die now. Nina should focus her love and affection on Sasha. I'm very confused about this pathogen. If it needs UV light to "go live", then how did it manage to make Valentine sick when he was in the bunker? When Laura broke the vial in the bunker Victor was all "ha ha, can't do anything as it needs light to be activated". But there wasn't any light around when he was confronted by Holly outside the bunker...I'm so confused. I do not understand how this whole story has been in the works for absolutely years, and the big plan was to introduce a pathogen to save the planet? Really?? What a let down. Can't stand Carly, Michael, or Josslyn. Willow is (supposedly) dying. You let her decide what she wants to do and you don't interfere. Even if I don't like her anymore (loved her with Chase), you do whatever a dying person wants to do.

Why is Drew just about always referred to as "Drew Cain" when referred to in the 3rd person? Curtis told Spencer and Trina that "Laura, Valentine and Drew Cain" were with him. Is there another Drew I don't know about? And, omg, all the "Drew (Cain) has gone to rescue Liesl". Does anyone really think that Laura, Curtis and Valentine weren't going to rescue her while they were rescuing Spencer, Adorable Baby and Trina?
