I just don't get how Wyatt can rail at Ivy that he doesn't want another woman who wants his brother and then end up going after Steffy. How does that remotely compute?

And, really, if Hope was able to get over Liam's repeated detours to Bratz-land, she should be able to be over that by now. I hate how much they've changed Ivy's personality for this mess, but what I hate most about the whole thing is that it's looking like we're going to get Steffy all happy and in love (with her pick of Wyatt or Liam) after all the shit she's pulled. And, let's get real here, Liam, Wyatt, and Steffy all have ZERO business judging Ivy for this. Their own romantic shenanigans make this little out of character sojourn of Ivy's seem like small potatoes. Liam, you tossed the same fucking engagement ring back and forth between two women, willy nilly. Steffy, you specialize in going after other women's men, like it's a sport. Wyatt, you've certainly not been shy in the past about making your play for Liam's women. So, all of you, shut your judging mouths. And writers, screw you for ruining one of the only couples I enjoyed on this show.

It would be better if it was with his memories, just because then it would be Jason, knowing his past with Sonny (and Carly) and still choosing to take his ass down. I'd still throw Jax in there. Actually, ideally, it would be Michael, Dante, Jason, Jax, Monica, and Tracy.

All this talk about whether Liz loves Lucky just reminds me of how much freaking magic BH and JJ had during their brief scenes around Jake's return. That level of genuine natural chemistry is so rare. I know JJ is never going to come back for any meaningful length of time, but it sucks that we won't get to see that on display for any real length of time.

If Josh ever decides he wants to pop up on GH, no matter who is character is, I give it a week before Nina is hanging all over him. No way MS is going to have him back in her atmosphere and not piss all over his leg to mark him for her very own.

I will forever remain bitter that they ended Michael's very valid hatred for Sonny so quickly. There was so much they could have done with it. We should have seen an all out war, where Michael tried to take down Sonny's empire, backed by Jax (and Tracy?), with Dante siding with Michael and Morgan siding with Sonny (because he's giddy to be the number one son with Michael and Dante out of the fold). Michael and Jax taking the Metro Court away from Carly. There was so much to be done and it just got pissed away.

I don't usually begrudge actors a little indulgence in those "last scenes together" situations. But, it has to not ring totally false for the situation and characters. So the Sam/Patrick scene bugged the living hell out of me. First, as mentioned, we already had their breakup talk about how awesome they were together, how much they loved their little "family," etc. We didn't need another one. Second, it just makes the rather lackluster writing of the Scrubs scenes so far seem even more ridiculous, and, as GHScorpiosRule has mentioned, it makes it seem like Patrick would have preferred that he was still with Sam. Yes, I'm sure it's emotional doing a "last scene" with someone you're close to. And I get that. But, in some cases, maybe the actors could save their emotional goodbye moment for after the director yells "cut!"? I mean, I get the impression that JT has a lot of respect and affection for Mo. But if I see some deep meaningful Patrick/Sonny scene, just because the two men like each other, I'm going to lose it. Say goodbye off screen, people.

I'm really going to hate when they eventually swap Bratz on over to Wyatt. I actually like Wyatt. That's just going to ruin him for me. Who knew the best case scenario for this show would end up being Hope returning? I really need her to come back so I can watch Wyatt and Liam both forget Ivy and Bratz even exist. If a Hope return isn't possible, can Quinn bash Ivy upside the head for hurting her baby, so that it can, hopefully, reverse the clear brain damage that she developed when Bratz toppled her into the live wires? When Wyatt showed Steffy the ring and she said "Ivy's going to die," was I the only one who, given Steffy's history, took that as a subliminal threat?

To him, it's all because they're just jealous that he's awesome or some such shit.

And it makes zero sense for her to say she'd do it all over again at this point. It's pretty clear that, had she told him the truth, she wouldn't have lost Jason. Even now, knowing the truth, and leaving Liz for lying to him, he's not running full speed back to his old life and seems pretty put off by his old life. So why in the world would she say she'd do it all over again to lose him again instead of "I wish I would have told him, and maybe we still would have had a chance together"? It's just absurd writing that does her zero favors. Make her "bad" fine, but have it make some damn sense.

Jason being disgusted by Spin's glee over him getting out after almost killing a man was one of the only good things I've seen on this show in recent memory. Spin waxing nostalgic over the wonders of his BFF Jason? Not so good. And can we discuss the elephant in the room here? What in the ever-loving good name of fuck is Sam wearing?

And Johnny didn't even get sent home - he went on to win the damn Island. So he's holding a grudge for 4 years over the possibility that he might have been sent home but ultimately stayed and went on to win the season. God, he's insufferable.

Whatever BryDog's talents are, they're being completely wasted on this acting thing.

Only half?

I've never understood the vitriol towards Robin for telling AJ he had a son. Are all those people telling me that, if they knew a friend of theirs had a child, but the mother was lying about who the father was, they'd just sit on their hands and say "nope, not my secret to tell," and let their friend continue to miss out on being a part of their child's life? Harsh.

You would never know that Becky dislikes what's being done to her character as much as a lot of viewers do by watching her onscreen. That should be a given, but on a show full of performances where you can tell exactly how the actors feel about their story lines, it's not a given at all. So kudos to her for not phoning it in when confronted with the shit she finds on her script on a daily basis.

Agreed. He risked Sonny coming at him again when he came back for Michael (when Abby the Strooker died). He was closer to Morgan. He should be here. Although...Dante was the last decent male on the show, and look what's been done to him. God knows what they'd do to Jax. He'd probably fall for Nina.

I cracked up at Michael's "we're different people" in his intro. I assume that was code for "I'm not crazy, people!"

Best Actor: Um...hmmm...uh...how about...er.... was there some day player who played a corpse or something? Jesus. Oh, wait, even though they haven't been on much, and will only get a couple days in the year, I'll go with TR and SR. Because no one else deserves it. Best Actress: Either FH or BH. Both have been given a steady dose of hot crap story lines, but they've played the hell out of them, so there's that. Best Couple: Shit. This is more difficult than best actor. I guess I'll go with Michael and Sabrina. Although, naturally, the show is shitting on that. Worst Couple: So...many...choices... Nina/Franco, with honorable mention to Dante/Valerie. Wait, they might win this category. Yeah, they're worse than Neens and Francs. Worst Storyline: The Redemption of Sonny Corinthos. Fuck that. Best Storyline: .....Seriously?..... No. Worst Actor: Ensign Mayo. He beat out a strong crop of suck. Worst Actress: Michelle Stafford, edging out Brytni Sarpi by a slim margin. I feel like no year in review discussion would be complete, though, without a shout out to BryDog's social media presence - the gift that keeps on giving.

Merry Christmas! And I vote you keep posting. I keep up on your stories more regularly than I keep up on the show these days.

That was back when Jason had a personality. Borg-y likes the short mumbling brunettes.

TJ's blatant glee on trivia challenge day is always a highlight of the season. I loved him cackling after some of the wrong answers. Thomas (your name is Thomas, right?), I'm not saying Abe is definitely going to eat some of your organs, but, well, Abe's probably going to eat some of your organs. You might want to volunteer to go into the pit so you can get the hell out of Turkey breathing. Reality TV really desensitizes you to shit, because while I should probably be horrified that CM is talking about her boyfriend's "serial killer quiet," I laughed and laughed. Of course I also laughed at the way the two of them almost needed to be hosed down when Abe got there, with Thomas (seriously, that is his name, right? I can't be expected to know all these new names already!) right behind them. I think he got a pretty good illustration in the difference between CM flirting with you to kill time and stay in the game and what it's like if she's really into you. Back to the trivia, an hour after the show was over, I looked at my husband and said "Loki!" and we just started laughing all over again. God bless these twits. Oh, and Aneesa, really? You not only thought that it would be a good idea to put Jenna up top answering questions, but you also apparently decided it would be a smart move to have her be the one in charge of when your tube of stupidity would explode? No, you don't get to be annoyed with her when she gets answers wrong or mockingly "proud" of her when she gets them right - not when you're the genius who decided to put her in that position. You would have been better off putting a rabid squirrel up there with a basket full of letters and waiting to see if he happened to eat the letters in the proper order to spell out the right answer.

Jason apparently has a thing for short brunettes who mumble.

"I already did the stupid thing" sounds like what one says after sleeping with Morgan.

Yes, he definitely was. I wasn't watching yet when Rosie was born, but I was watching when Will was born. So he's more recent.
