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.

I wouldn't be surprised if Maura was soon fired. Let's be real - she has no friends, no family, no love interest, no home, no allies. She is truly an island to herself. She's been completely isolated. That's a dangerous place for a soap character. If she died or left, would anyone on the show care? Nope. Donna doesn't count.

Agreed! Yesterday's show was good. I didn't mute once, which says a lot for me b/c I'm constantly muting and/or FFing parts of this show. I watched all the segments and found it all very entertaining. I wasn't bored, which says a lot too. I know folks hated him but I was also entertained by Finn's alcoholism story. It was one of the more interesting stories. As you said, it was soapy and entertaining. I liked him yelling at folks and drinking. Too bad it was fast tracked for JJ's return. For the most part, GH bores me so when soapy stuff happens, I'm entertained.

Oh, I'm with you. I would love for TJ to yell her into a miscarriage. It would serve him right! That ass doesn't deserve or need a baby! And b/c of how awful they've been to Kristina who has done absolutely nothing deserving of their harsh treatment and words towards her . . . I would fully support her keeping her baby! I no longer care about Tolly! The only issue is she would have to deal w/a-hole TJ for the rest of her life. Nope. The best solution for Kristina is a miscarriage and she can just be done w/them! Well, dumb@$$ TJ should have thought of that before he AGREED to Kristina being the surrogate. That's her father and his wife's uncle! If avoiding her dad was part of the deal for them, they should have said that though Kristina could be hurt and/or shot anywhere b/c that's life.

So, I was supporting Molly until she acknowledged that she trusted Kristina but now sees she was wrong to do so. Ummm . . . what? Excuse me? What was she talking about? Why was she wrong to trust Kristina? AFAIC, Tolly are both equally obnoxious a-holes about this surrogacy. As many of you have mentioned Kristina has done absolutely NOTHING to deserve all this harsh criticism. The story literally makes no sense. Kristina isn't skipping medical appts. She's not starting physical fights. She's not walking about when she's supposed to be on bed rest. She's not drinking. She's not drugging. She is literally just living life, and they have a problem w/it. Who is writing this? This story - like many current stories - is lame b/c it's just Tolly yelling and screaming about nothing. So Kristina got upset and cried. So what? Pregnant women cry. TJ's a doctor. He should understand that. If we are supposed to side w/Tolly . . . why not show Kristina doing something to warrant their OTT concerns? Show her hanging out w/criminals. Show her skipping appts and not taking her vitamins. I don't know. Make it make sense. All Kristina does is go to work. She's not even in her dad's face 24/7 so Tolly's concerns are completely unwarranted. They both made me sick yesterday. That said, TJ edged Molly out in jerkiness w/him blaming her for him not being man enough to stand on his convictions. Honestly, after that display yesterday (him walking out), I wouldn't want to raise a kid w/him. I couldn't be w/a weak man who will agree one day and then flip the script and blame me if it all goes wrong. Irony is nothing actually went wrong but that's beside the point. TJ had a chance to voice his objection. He didn't. That's ON HIM. And while the acting was good - what was up w/the breakdown about Kristina keeping the baby?! Huh? Did I miss some scenes? I haven't been regularly watching b/c I find the show boring for the most part. Did Kristina say she as going to keep the baby? If I were Kristina, I would give them their baby, sign over my rights, and go no contact w/them. They are obnoxious, judgmental, paranoid, controlling freaks! Once that baby was out, they could lose my number.

IMO, they did Fiz fans dirty. They didn’t even let Liz give Finn a chance. She just immediately dumped him. The man’s father died and he relapsed. She could have tried to be a little understanding. And I’m not saying Liz should stick around and be treated like crap but Finn didn’t really do that much, IMO. Not enough for an insta-dumping but that’s just me. And the Jason scenes —— completely unnecessary IMO. She didn’t need rescuing. I hate heavy-handed writing. It’s just bad storytelling if you ask me. I always enjoy Drina so that was a highlight for me!

@driver18 - I could be wrong but I don’t think the show is committed to Liason. I’ve never been a fan of them and wouldn’t be interested in them now. Jake calling Jason had me rolling my eyes hard. It’s so forced and makes no sense but that’s in line with GH nowadays! I never liked Fiz but I could see them moving past this if the show is interested. I guess it depends. I don’t understand much about GH nowadays, which is why I haven’t been watching. I wouldn’t take the rushed and OOC writing for this story to be an indication of anything other than the bad writing the show has been suffering from since the changeover.

I think she sparked with Roger Howarth as both Todd and Franco. To me, RoHo and LW had great chemistry.
