I couldn’t agree more with these two points. I much prefer Sava when they are on good terms with each other. That dynamic works better. I hate that GH trashed their relationship during MW’s contract battle or whatever was going on last year when they were isolating the character & writing her into a corner. Constantly fighting about Avery is beyond annoying. I’m over all of it. None of this is getting my viewership this week. I don’t want to see this stuff with Kristina. I don’t want more custody battles. I’m just not interested in watching any of this play out. Kristina needs a new story. —— I also couldn’t agree more with you about the Michael thing. They have ruined Sasha AFAIC. They keep having her whine and moan about Willow using the pregnancy to gain custody when Willow isn’t even thinking about Sasha or her baby. Willow is living her best life (to her) and isn’t concerned about Sasha in the slightest. If GH wants this to be a thing then they need to ramp up the tension btw Willow and Sasha or show Willow speculating about the baby. Something. I’m sick of Sasha randomly worried about Michael losing custody when there’s no indication that Willow suspects or cares about the baby. As a family lawyer, I’m not even going to address the absurdity of anyone in 2025 losing custody b/c of infidelity. Maybe in some very small southern town….possibly……but New York?! And how would Willow look using that against Michael when she’s living and sleeping with his uncle?! Let’s be for real. The writers need to get with the times already!

Maybe he assumed the bodies had been removed. That’s what I would assume if I was asked to bulldoze a crypt! Upon learning there were still remains in there, he rightfully walked away. This story is lame.

The problem w/Derek and Ashley is they have no chemistry and Derek cannot act! I haven't thought much of him but this past week sealed it for me. I binged the entire week yesterday, and the scene w/the woman he rescued and the nightmare told me I was not wrong! The only thing this actor can portray semi-ok is jealousy. Everything else is a blank, wooden stare like y'all said. He didn't even smile at the cat!!! He looked at the woman like she was an alien. There's just nothing there. I was on another board and someone suggested replacing him w/Scott Clifton who B&B is currently wasting. I agree. I am not trying to be mean but I cannot believe he was the best person they auditioned for this role. IMO, the Martin actor isn't that good either but he's better than the dude playing Derek. Speaking of Martin - he remains a complete ass! He told Smitty he could take one job - ugh . . . I still don't know why Smitty puts up w/him . . . but then he sabotaged that opportunity. I hate Martin. I honestly keep waiting for him to pop Smitty in the mouth. He's such an ass. They have to explain to us why Smitty stays w/him. I also agree w/y'all about being tired of the Dani/Bill/Hayley plot already. I still love the show but think it would benefit from some more key families. Mix it up some more.

I cannot stand MartinI He's an abusive jerk! I'm so happy Smitty stood up for himself. I was worried he wouldn't, but I'm glad he called Martin out on being ridiculously selfish. Those kids are practically grown. OMG!!!! The show is still airing . . . if Smitty does not divorce this man . . . I will go ballistic! He's a complete ass! I haven't liked the way Martin has treated his husband since the 2nd episode! I didn't like how he asked Smitty what was for dinner. It was condescending and rude. Smitty needs to wake up. Martin does not love or care about him. He just wants a househusband for his own career goals. Any man will do. I'm so disgusted by that "Am I understood?" Smitty better be calling a lawyer and getting divorce papers. Sorry for the rant. I loved everything Dani said to Fayley. LOL! She told no lies.

Ted has a dead brother. Could he be a twin? Just putting on my soap cap! 🤣

Willow isn’t remorseful. I don’t know how much of this is the actress or the direction, but she was the same way with Chase. When Willow was done with Chase, she stopped showing any feelings for him. It was like she didn’t even like him as a friend anymore. She flipped a switch and turned off all feeling for him. When he was seizing, she just looked at him and then gave googly/sad eyes to Michael. There was no nuance or layers to her performance. She was done with Chase. I get the same vibes now. She’s done with Michael. Taking CM at his word, the show believes Drillow is a love story. If that’s what Katey’s been told, then she’s likely turned off her feelings for Michael and is focused on Drew now. I don’t think the actress can do nuance or layers. It’s rather shocking how much Willow doesn’t seem to care at all about Michael but not surprising given her treatment of Chase. The bad writing coupled with the weak performances has made this entire story a massive disappointment. We could have seen Michael release the same anger and passion he had for his dad here but we’ve gotten weak, simp Michael who just wants his marriage to work. Even his takedown of Drew was done in a passive, uninteresting way. Curtis shined more! It’s no wonder Chad quit! SMH! Willow could be feeling guilt AND lust for Drew but we’ve just gotten her lusting for Drew with no concern at all for Michael! Millow have yet to talk!! Willow didn’t even text him that her mom sent the papers, not her. She doesn’t care what Michael thinks or does! It’s ridiculous! I don’t even know what they’re doing with Drew in this story. He’s just awful and so far from even the Drew CM used to be. It’s so weird. Also, there’s no real reason Nina wouldn’t have told Willow she and Drew slept together multiple times. Willow can’t be mad at her, and screw her if she is! This story is just a mess and not in a good, soapy way, IMO.

According to his IG, Chad is leaving GH! He says now is the time.

Yay! It’s always nice to find another Brucas fan, especially one who also finds Brad more interesting than Lucas! That is very rare! I’m not alone!! lol I would love to see Brucas reconcile. I’ve been wanting that since they broke up. I hate that Brad was thrown under the bus because CL quit the show! After Ron C left, the writers had no respect for Brucas or their fans! That Wiley story will forever be crap to me! Anyway, I thought VH and PS had good vibes (until Cujo entered the picture), but I hope we do see them reunite. It’s about time, IMO. I will never understand why Brad is irredeemable and Brucas should never be together again in some ppl’s eyes when other pairings have reunited after murder attempts, threats to kill, infidelity, baby lies/secrets, etc. Holly and Portia kept whole children from their significant others, and both are with their guys now. What Brad did was dumb, but it wasn’t done maliciously, and he agonized over his actions. I don’t know. Unlike many characters, Brad went to jail for his crime and paid his price. For a soap, I see no reason why Lucas couldn’t give him another chance. And Carly “I’ve remarried my ex 9 million times“ Corinthos can shut up and mind her business. Lucas is a grown man and doesn’t need her input or advice! Hypocritical witch!

Also, Rick was at CarSon’s last wedding. He was Sonny’s best man. Carly wasn’t flipping out when she saw him then!

I’m also Team Alexis. She’s the only one I feel sympathy for because she knew this would happen and she warned them against doing this. Her worst nightmare came true. Her daughters are estranged, and one daughter is blaming her. It’s a mess. I feel bad for her! I also agree that there would have been no reason for her to tell Tolly about Kristina’s plans. What good would that have done. Alexis was hoping Kristina would keep the promise she made to her sister. She was operating on hope. I think Molly has every right to be angry that Kristina was going to keep the baby. That’s wrong and inexcusable, IMO! It’s when she accused Kristina of murdering the baby and being incapable of love that goes too far! But ever since the recasts, we’ve gotten a Molly that has little respect for her sister. At times, I’ve wondered if Molly even likes Kristina. Her opinion of Krissy is rock bottom! They toned that down a bit when KV was hired but it reared its ugly head again w/her too. It makes me wonder why Tolly chose someone they don’t respect and see as a generally flaky, untrustworthy loser! As a lot of you mentioned, the main problem with this story for me is the writing. Aside from the sister conflict and division being contrived and OOC, the story wasn’t written well. We never saw Tolly going to doctor’s appts or doing anything normal and fun with Kristina. They were never around to feel the baby kick or indulge one of Kristina’s cravings. They just treated Kristina like an incubator, which is odd b/c she’s Molly’s sister. She should have been closer to them than a surrogate they didn’t know. The only time they showed Tolly being interested in this baby was when they were yelling at Kristina about going to parties, getting upset, and just living life! Their pain is just not resonating with me though the acting is good. Kristina’s pain feels real. The writers should have done more to connect Tolly with the baby.

I had come around to liking LA's Kristina. She was barely on the show so when she would show up, I wasn't offended or anything. Her last memorable scene - to me - was reading Sam for filth about Jason. lol That was hilarious. I liked Lexi. I'm not sure why they fired her. That said, I have no issue w/Kate either. I know she ticked off a bunch of ppl on SM recently but I wasn't paying close attn so I don't know about any of that. As far as her acting is concerned, it's fine to me. I buy her as Kristina. I also think KV is a great Molly. For me - the issue is the OOC writing both characters have rec'd since the recasts. They went out of their way to suddenly make Molly weirdly judgmental and hateful to Kristina. I thought they had toned down on that when KV was cast, but it resurfaced at various times throughout this surrogacy story. They also made TJ hate Kristina. Since when? Tolly behave like Kristina is beneath them. They have no respect for her and act like she's a complete loser. None of that was consistent w/what we had seen. The sisters never had any issues w/each other. Then, they have Kristina acting like she doesn't know her dad is a mobster who hurts people. That whole thing w/Dex was wildly OOC and pointless retcon. I thought KM did a good job w/the material, but the material was lame and unbelievable. And maybe I just had too much faith in the Kristina of old, but there is no world where I believe Kristina would really take the baby from her sister. Why? Because Tolly had a fight? Kristina who grew up in a single-parent household for the most part suddenly doesn't understand single parents? Kristina literally begged Molly to do this! And they could have had her tell Alexis she wasn't going to take the baby but she doubled down on it. Why? I understand the need for drama, but I don't understand why Kristina has to be destroyed for it. I was happy the baby died b/c I didn't want the custody battle, but GH seems determined to ruin the sister relationship and make those characters fight. It is what it is. I could think of other dramas for them, but that is what we'll get. I'm even less interested in this new thing. I'm all for Tolly and Kristina going their separate ways and being involved in different plots for awhile. ETA: I don't think Lexi would make this material better. It's crap. What Kristina intended to do was awful, and there was no excuse for it. None. The show didn't need to go this route w/them.

Oh, I couldn’t agree more. I actually hate how the writers have sidelined Trina (and all the black cast) and relegated her to a literal prop. It’s insulting and why they’ve lost my viewership. I catch up from clips on Twitter/YT. That said, I have no beef with the Gio actor. It’s not his fault the show refuses to recast Spencer or write for Trina. The writers and showrunners are the ones who deserve the criticism, IMO.

I think the label is dropping her because she’s supposedly ashamed of being gay and has a homophobic manager?! I’m not sure. That’s the impression I got. The label fully supports the gay & lesbian community but Blaze doesn’t so they had to let her go! 🤷🏾‍♀️ This is all leading to BLQ reviving L&B records I assume. Twitter really can’t stand Gio - at least the side that pops up on my timeline. He’s fine to me. I mean he’s another boring, bland character but that’s not the actor’s fault. I thought he had nice scenes w/Trina yesterday. I’m reserving judgement. I still think they should have recast for Spencer but GH doesn’t seem invested in the Cassadines so it is what it is.

In all honesty, I would rather watch Sonny romance someone. He’s interesting and he has a personality - something no man currently in the 30s set possesses, IMO. Like Desperado, I enjoyed SoNa. I also liked SaVa for the brief time we got them most recently. I could have gotten behind them. MB can be very charming, IMO. I’m not interested in him and Maria but MB isn’t really trying with her if you ask me. I’m not sure when they decided to sanitize all the characters and make them all the same but it’s really hurting GH. For instance, TJ, Cody, Michael, Chase are all essentially the same character - good guys who love their partners and won’t ever do anything wrong or bad. Where are the dynamic, flawed characters?!? Why are all the regulars so cookie cutter? Where are the personalities?!? Aside from Sonny, who is bringing any drama to this show? On certain boards, some act like a character is ruined if they yell or do something bad! I read concerns about Finn being ruined because he yelled at Elizabeth?! Really?!? Is that what this genre has come to? A man yells and he’s cancelled?!? I remember wanting Chase to get revenge on Millow for their lies but got pushback about how OOC that would be for Chase and how it would ruin him?l. Ok! I like a good Hallmark Christmas movie but I don’t want to see a Hallmark soap! Anyway, I guess my main point is - out of the current cast - I would rather see Sonny romance someone b/c everyone else is boring. Aside from Drina, GH is full of boring couples, IMO!

I don’t believe it either. She literally has no friends or allies. The easy camaraderie she had with Sonny and even Carly is now gone. If she is staying, I assume she’s gonna be put on recurring and will rarely be seen like Brad, Felix, Ms. Wu.
