Yes. The wedding dress scene(s) involving Tracy, Lois, Maxie and BL were well done, connecting the show's history to the present at a time when OG Lois is part of the cast and Tracy has returned (again). The flashback with Sofer's Lois and Lila took me by surprise in a good way. And not a single mention of Sonny, Carly, or Jason by any of the four! Style-wise: Maxie looked better than she has in quite a while. The wedding dress BL tried on was what I think of as no bueno, and the same for that weird frontal hair style on Lois. Sofer has lovely hair, so I don't know what people were thinking.

"I know you're not just here for Donna." That made me LOL. How right you are - it's your other ex-husband who has a history of being a devoted dad to your elder daughter. What a shit that he couldn't even be bothered to say good-bye to his little girl. She was riding by herself, not going to get distracted from "having too much fun." Referring to Jagger/John as a "punk with a badge" - also shows the real Sonny. The use of flashback of Rena Sofer as Lois with Lila about the wedding dress was well done. Also Jane Elliot showing Tracy trying to cover her pain as she acknowledged that she had rejected her mother's wedding dress when offered. Karen's grave used as a plot device to revisit the Jagger/Karen/Sonny history with Scott would be more meaningful if the actor at least resembled OG Jagger. Good lord Joss is insufferable. And having sex five minutes after you find him when you've been apart such a short time, is not convincing of great love. There is nothing romantic about these two. Hey @GHScorpiosRule Today's episode was unusual in that there were Robin (via Maxie), Ric, and Karen mentions.

This is accurate. Recall during the tribute episode that she knew nothing of Bobbie and Felicia's friendship. She also never knew that Bobbie had parties at the Brownstone and included Tony in those parties after their marriage was dunzo. All Carly ever knew or cared about regarding Bobbie's life was their relationship concerning what Bobbie was willing to do for her, or as a grandmother and also regarding the baby that Bobbie's son had to give up to her grandson. Carly never showed concern for Lucas or paused to wonder if perhaps her mom was feeling torn between Lucas's pain and Michael's happiness. The situation was treated like Lucas had been a great foster father to a baby who didn't have parents. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I actually enjoyed a Maxie-Spinelli scene. It was awesome to see Maxie get angry, not get taken in by Spinelli trying to justify lying to her, and then kick him out. Also, is he really in love with Maxie, or is he really just tired of/sulking about being single because it's been awhile since Ellie dumped him for choosing his precious "Stone Cold" over her? Ugh at Drew/Carly and Sonny/Nina. Unfortunately, I wasn't fast enough to switch off before getting an eyeful of Drew's bare back in the bed.

I think so too, and I find it realistic given everything that's happened since she's had Avery. Underneath it all, she's still destroyed knowing that not only was her daughter Kiki murdered - it was by the hand of a psychopath obsessed with her who did it because she was so angry with Kiki. Julian is dead. She found comfort in the marriage to Nikolas, but now that is dunzo (which Sonny endorses) and she's no longer being targeted by Ryan's unhinged daughter. She has literally struggled for years with Sonny and Carly over spending time with Avery. Avery is all she has left (of family; yes she is close to Trina but Trina has a family). She doesn't have relationships with Julian's children (as far as we know). Since Carly and Sonny have been separated and Carly has shifted her hatred toward Nina instead, spending time with Avery and dealing with Sonny got a whole lot easier. Now that she and Sonny are sort of live-in companions, she gets whatever she wants regarding Avery. Sonny sees Carly as a traitor, so if Carly tried to assert her will regarding Avery, he would say "You have nothing to say about my daughter." Nina's choices are her own. Ava certainly didn't force Nina to do anything.

I never said Elizabeth would want Jason back, although I could see Jason wanting her back. I would like to see Patrick's brother finally return (from prison) and for him to be Elizabeth's love interest. They had great chemistry and he was good with her then-little boys. I think the whole audience must have head trauma from the "Jason is returning" anvils across almost all the scenes. Sheesh!! Sam, that bridge was Jason and Robin's special place, not "Jason's place to think." And I don't believe for one second that Danny knows about that bridge or has spent significant time thinking about/missing Jason while talking to a friend. I'm sure Danny's friend has a relationship with the dad who was deployed; Jason was an absentee dad. Also, Sam and Jason rode motorcycles together. That was their bond. Her talking about feeling close to Jason on that bridge is a total retcon! "This baby/pregnancy has nothing to do with Kristina" She responded to the doctor in the moment without thinking; she didn't try to demand anything. TJ is an asshole. No matter what happens in the future, he's going to think the worst of his surrogate/SIL. At least someone was thinking of Kristina's feelings. But I'm legit shocked there was a gay love scene during a pregnancy. Seems way too controversial for GH, a show which backburned the gay son from a legacy family for most of the time he was a part of the cast. The Elizabeth-Sam scene was good though. Kudos to Becky Herbst. Sam knows zero about teenagers, clearly. And again, Jason's brain was compromised when you met him. I guess Gregory is starting to develop feelings for Tracy? Again, why is a serial killer allowed to walk around and attack someone? First in the cemetery, now in Pentonville? I had to roll my eyes at Heather's screaming.

Gregory and Tracy have good chemistry, as do Finn and Alexis. If/when Finn and Elizabeth break up (in part because she is bored and needs more out of a relationship), I think Finn and Alexis would make a great couple. In addition to their friendship, neither one was complaining after their ONS! Nina should absolutely do that!!

Esme went to Pentonville. She got out because Spencer's friends decided to drop the charges "for now" so that baby Ace could have a real home instead of being in prison with his mother. Liz didn't kidnap anyone. Nikolas held Esme as a prisoner at Wyndemere and Elizabeth discovered her, at which point Nikolas begged/manipulated her into keeping his secret and providing medical care. Elizabeth is at best, an accessory after the fact. She went to the PCPD and made a statement about her actions when it seemed like Nikolas had run away as a fugitive. The only other person who eventually knew what Nikolas did with Esme was Ava. ITA about Carly and Sonny.

Same. He should be a part of this whole storyline. He's a police officer, yet he doesn't even get a mention while Dr. Robinson gets to blow off her responsibilities and take her wheelchair-bound club owner husband with her on the airplane to Paris? They are not qualified to help rescue Trina from a psychopath. Come on. I understand there may be reasons why we don't see Taggert. But for Trina to not even mention "my dad" all this time? I would even accept a passing mention that "Dad has been really sick with a virus/the flu, but I just talked to him and he's starting to feel stronger. I haven't told him everything since before we left for Paris because I don't want him to be worried about me." I just hate that the Show execs think it's okay to write like the dads who raised Josslyn and Trina no longer exist.

I thought Dex was supposed to be a replacement Milo, and Brando was more of a replacement for Morgan Corinthos. Milo was once a 20 something, sorta in JMB Lulu's storyline(s). He and Spinelli both had crushes on Lulu at the time that she got to be Carly's mini-me, pre-Joss. Whereas Brando treated Sonny like he was his surrogate father and Sonny acted like Brando was the son he wished Morgan had been. There was a scene at Casa Corinthos soon after baby Liam died, focused on Brando and Sasha. I thought, "they are the new Morgan and Kiki to this family."

Same. It was good to see Joss on the floor crying because Dex left her behind, after how she treated Cam for his very understandable perspective about Jason, and then cheated on him with Dex. Joss crying over Dex truly highlighted that she never deserved to be Cam's girlfriend, or even his friend really.

Jax's absence from Josslyn's life for more than a year - never a mention - has been glaring because he has a history of being a very involved, doting dad. A revenge porn recording of Joss goes public, Joss and Cam are interviewed by Jax's best friend for a media story, but Mr. International Corporate Raider apparently does not have anything to do with media, the Internet, or his daughter anymore since he left town for an undefined period of time. You would think Jax died off-screen. Ugh, this show. The show has done this before, though, with a devoted parent. Brooklyn's throat gets slashed, Ned is afraid she won't live/recover ... but Lois doesn't show up. Brooklyn is "pregnant" and then she and Chase are together "raising our baby" ... but Lois doesn't show up. Brooklyn has some business-family problems with Tracy that get so-called media attention, and then Lois comes running (since RS became available) because she's "so worried" about what big bad Tracy has done to her daughter.

Good lord, Sam - you've only ever known brain damaged Jason who made Sonny and the fam his #1 priority in life. Danny is not "hard-wired" to do dangerous things like a guy with brain damage. Jason was a studious kid in boarding school when he was Danny's age. Danny is a normal teenager who snuck out, end of story. Alexis is an intelligent attorney who knew Jason and the rest of the Q Family a long time before Sam did - and was even once engaged to Jason's cousin. Why didn't she point out the glaring fact that 14-year-old Jason was a good kid, not a juvenile delinquent. This heavy-handed built up for Jason's return is ridiculous!! I need multiple vomit emojis that Dex would rather have Sonny shoot him dead than to live without Joss. I will never, ever buy that Joss and Dex really love each other. She still barely knows him. Esme had more character development and relationships on the show than Dex has had. I did like, though, how Sonny was utterly unmoved by Joss's tears and that she will never forgive him for Dex leaving. lol. I love Laura's facial reactions to Cyrus, so very much.

@dubbel zout Yes, Joss and Trina touched on Joss losing Oscar, when Trina was explaining (in their dorm room) the drama on the boat and her feelings about "Spencer's death." Joss explained that they knew Oscar was terminally ill. It was EMc's first day back after bereavement leave. In this case, I believe she was trying to say to Dex she couldn't handle losing her man suddenly, shocking and violently as Trina has. Well then fool, date a guy who has a regular job/life. Oh wait, you did- but you cheated on the good guy with and dumped him for, this guy who willingly has a dangerous and sometimes violent job.

I was about to say the same - I think that's the first time Sonny has EVER been funny! I also liked that Drew is like a bully who just got his hand slapped, with Nina refusing to leave town and telling him that he and Carly are underestimating her. The line about "stabbing your father in the back!" made me roll my eyes because no asshole, you shot his father in the chest! You killed him! So much whatever with Joss. Saying she couldn't handle going through what Trina is going through, and then "I hadn't thought of that." Well duh, you're not that bright. Dex is rather pathetic - first his girlfriend's mother saves him and now his girlfriend is off to save him from Sonny. But I knew as soon as I heard Joss yelling outside the door that Sonny already went to Dex.

True, but it makes me wonder if there's a "wake up Lulu" storyline in the works. Charlotte is a mess, emotionally speaking, and the only consistent adult in her family who has taken care of her is Laura - who has been stretched thin with the Spencer, Nikolas, Esme and baby Ace drama. Laura makes comments about the size of her family, like yesterday appreciating Elizabeth + kids because it helps to feel she and Kevin "aren't alone in this" i.e. taking care of her grandson. I don't doubt Sam misses the "ride or die" days with Jason, when she didn't need to be concerned about having someone to take care of her inconvenient children that she once wanted so badly until reality set in. Too bad she didn't get to be in the car when Jason told Sonny he never should have agreed with Sam about having kids. It seems more likely Jason would want Elizabeth back, at a time IMO when Finn will become less available and committed to her as he's focused on Gregory. Jake, who had more of a relationship with Jason than his brother Danny did, is now a teenager living without Franco in his life and without big brother Cameron living at home anymore. He's clearly not in a good place when you add in dating troubled Charlotte, his younger brother Aiden's cousin. Then there's the fact that Aiden's father/Jason's former rival, Lucky, has been out of the picture for a long time now.

I assume it was supposed to look really hot and romantic that these couples were having sex to end the Valentine's Day episode - but my reaction is meh, aside from Brooklyn and Chase. Michael touching Willow's bare thigh and them being done in under 5 min(?) was only a smidge better than when they stopped painting Wiley's playroom to have sex the first time, under paint clothes ... Dante would have liked to know 'wild' Sam? Dude, she's been a felon and married to a criminal who had a motorcycle in the time you've known her....Curtis thinks he and Jordan are built to last (now that they've had sex)? This coming from the guy who tried to kiss his ex-wife because he was pissed off at his new wife. I laughed at Carly saying, "Nina couldn't be trusted" and Sonny yelling at her that she and Michael betrayed him. I also smirked at the Michael and Sonny preview. I wonder - will Willow find out Michael didn't quite tell Sonny the truth as he claimed to her he did?

I saw today's episode and I don't understand why Laura and Kevin would feel they need/want to adopt Laura's grandson. She didn't adopt her grandson Spencer after Spencer's mother was deceased and Nikolas was presumed dead. She became Spencer's legal guardian. So why wouldn't Nikolas, Laura and the court agree that Laura would become Ace's guardian? This baby has already lived with Laura and Kevin in their home for most of his short life. I liked Elizabeth reminding Laura that they're family. Laura looked surprised that Elizabeth said Aiden could babysit. Does Laura not remember that Ace and Aiden are cousins? In fact Spencer, Ace, Aiden, Rocco and Charlotte are all cousins/Laura's bio grandchildren. I turned it off when Carly squealed and hugged creepy gross Brick. Or fine, Brick can hit on Carly and leave Jordan alone.

I had the same reaction to Trina saying she can never go back to Paris and school has no meaning. I think the grief is more about the future they won't have in Paris, than their brief relationship. Yes, I know, they were in love - but they spent very little time together being a couple without dramaaa. Elizabeth was younger than Trina is now when she thought Lucky died in a fire and didn't try to refuse to go to school after they spent a lot of time together, in love, and talking about their future. I agree, Heather's ranting and getting in the dirt made me roll my eyes. Why did that guard let her get so close to Kevin? She could have hurt him if she managed to get a weapon on her person while walking to the cemetery. Screaming at Kevin about how awful his actions have been and her line "They say I'm a criminal?" really turned me off. Um yeah, lady, you murdered their GH colleague not to mention a PCPD officer and Brando (Sonny's cousin). William Lipton/Cam was the highlight of the episode for me. His moment with GF/Laura was touching. It was nice of Finn and Gregory to be there to support Elizabeth, Cam and Alexis, but all I could think was Lucky should be there. I also don't understand why Charlotte didn't make an appearance, or Molly. I remember Spencer mentioning coordinating with Charlotte to get Laura and Kevin's home ready for Ace, and Laura told Spencer on-screen when Charlotte got shot. Has anyone told Taggert that his daughter is devastated thinking her boyfriend is dead? I'm really annoyed that Hat Daddy came to the memorial with Curtis and Portia, but Taggert isn't there to comfort Trina. UGH... ETA: The other highlight of the episode was the gut wrenching but sweet father/son scene, ending with Gregory hugging Finn.

Absolutely. He had a relationship with Aunt Bobbie and her family, not to mention that Bobbie babysat Cam and Jake when they were little kids. Spencer is Lucky's nephew, and there was a time briefly (when Elizabeth was pregnant with Aiden) that the boys lived with their mom and Uncle Nikolas and cousin Spencer at Wyndemere. At a time when Laura is not in a position to lean on Nikolas or Lulu for love and support, she needs Lucky to be there for her more than ever. Also, what is the deal with Robert not even acknowledging Bobbie's death? His lines to poor re-cast John/Jagger reminded me the Show has never had Robin appear with Emma and Noah (he's what, 6 years old, how can be captain of a soccer team?!) Robert's everything-is-rainbows summary means we don't know if Robin has any knowledge of or reaction to Bobbie's death - and now Spencer's assumed death as well. I was hoping for "Robin's career is going great, although she's struggling a bit with mourning Bobbie."

Laura knows that Cyrus ordered Julian to place the bomb, which killed Lulu's boyfriend and injured Lulu so badly she's been in a coma for ... 2+ years now? Laura and Sonny's mutual grandson is without a mother as a direct result. Laura's granddaughter is also without her mother and is an emotional mess. Laura does not have any fond feelings toward Cyrus.

I didn't get the sense that Alexis was laughing as she mentioned Spencer's driver and the ballots in the water - more like remembering with amazement that his actions (the boat/saving Trina from Esme was the last) have been dramatic and OTT from the time he was a child. It was Sam who was smirking that little Spencer tried for a public takedown of Cameron during the Nurse's Ball. Typical of Sam to shrug off dangerous actions.

ITA! She rocks the scenes showing Laura's range of emotions. I get the (IRL) reasoning for Laura to accept that Spencer is dead, but the writing should show Laura refusing to accept - for now - word from authorities that Spencer couldn't have survived given that her own sons Nikolas and Lucky have both been presumed dead in the past and they came back. Not to mention Robin Scorpio (whom Laura has known since she was a kid), Robin's dad/Luke's best friend, Anna Devane, Luke's second best friend Sonny, etc. All of this "Spencer and Esme are presumed dead" drama could have been avoided if Spencer and Trina used a little brain power and tied unconscious Esme up and/or locked her in the state room. It's as dumb as Robert and Anna being locked up/outsmarted by Faison for, what a week? to draw out the Patrick/Sabrina engagement drama while Robin was in hiding and trying to "save the parents." Don't even get me started on Portia and Curtis declaring they're going with Laura to "'save our daughter." Did anyone even inform Trina's actual father for life, the police officer, about what's going on? Taggert, not Curtis, should be the one going with Laura!! NLG did a great job with Alexis trying to be a professional and then breaking down at the end of writing the obit. On the other hand, I have no words for Sam talking like Spencer was some neighborhood kid her mother had cared about instead of a family member she really loved. There was no reason that this new police officer in scenes with Anna and Jordan has to be a recast Jagger Cates. The actor looks nothing like the actors who played Jagger, or Stone, or their sister Gina (?).

Seriously. I was grossed out at him flirting with Jordan. I had almost the same reaction to Valentin flirting with Nina. I guess he's over being upset about Charlotte and mourning the end of his relationship with the supposed great love of his life? Meanwhile she's still acting traumatized that she shot Charlotte even though she knows it happened because Valentin lied. Also, Ick x 1000 = Sonny staring at Valentin with Nina while suggesting to Ava he can get her settled in on his island. The audience does not deserve to watch him attempt to seduce Ava to get revenge on "legal" (I 🙄when he said that to Brick) wife Nina. The crypt sex that resulted in Avery was disgusting enough, thanks. Also eye-roll worthy: Diane's court room dramatic speaking, and Sam breathlessly making a beeline to Martin, Finn and Elizabeth with the info about the couple's finances was crucial to preventing Finn from being sentenced to lethal injection in a murder trial.

Sonny cares about getting what he wants. He quite deliberately manipulated Dex by mentioning Joss on the list of people in danger. He doesn't care about Josslyn's relationship. He probably thinks she better get used to the idea that being with someone in the biz means being with a killer. After all, her mother made the choice and knew and accepted the reality without blinking.

I just laughed and laughed because Diane pouted, then thought she was clever in her good-bye to him and her decision to walk away. Then Robert's reaction: a WTF just happened look. He knows he's being himself, telling the truth and making a point that she'll have more time/space in her life without Sonny. Diane thinks waaayyy too highly of herself and her client. LOL.
