  1. I haven’t been posting a lot because GH hasn’t been very interesting to me lately. This Jason return has been lackluster for me. It’s also been very OOC, which sucks because I thought these new writers knew the history of the show. I just don’t see any world where Sonny and Sam believe Jason intentionally shot Dante. Nope. That’s not at all believable to me. It’s bad writing IMO. So only Carly and her brats trust Jason?!?!? Ok! 🙄 It’s clear they want to push Jarly but others shouldn’t be written OOC to do so. I’m also in the minority here in not liking Jagger so I don’t really care what he’s been up to with Jason. I’m over the “FBI comes in to take down Sonny” plots. They all end the same way. I don’t see that changing unless Mo announces his retirement or something. The Danny stuff is super contrived and forced. Suddenly, Danny is a bad kid who vapes and loves danger - all in time for his dad to come back. Ok. 🙄 Honestly, I don’t care about Danny. Jason’s been a crap sad for so long……I don’t care about him improving his relationships with his sons! Jason is who he is. That said, I think it’s awful that Jake hasn’t been given a POV about his dad being back and accused of shooting Dante. I know Liz is not an important character to these writers but you would think they would let her son have a POV about his dad but the story is solely focused on Danny. Even Rocco’s POV is stifled for Danny. I see who the fave kid is right now. I also worry for Nina’s future. I loved SoNa but was fine with them ending because I thought we would be getting Valentina. I also thought Drew was gonna do something to get Nina hurt, which could open the door for Willow and Nina (and possibly Sonny) to reconcile. All of that is out the door. Drew has moved on, and Nina is in begging mode. Even though I like Nina, there is really no reason for her to still be in town. She’s completely isolated with no allies or friends. I wouldn’t be surprised if CW was soon fired. What purpose does she have? I truly thought CM was leaving but it looks like he’s gonna hook up with Jordan. No thanks. Where’s Zeke? I loathe CM’s version of Drew. I really wanted him gone. They ruined him. I don’t want to see him with anyone. I’m not hopeful about the new regime. I will still check it out but there really isn’t any one story or character capturing my interest right now. I feel very “meh” about the show.
  2. As a GV/Lucky and Franco fan, Liz had stable, loving relationships with them both, especially Franco. Friz was her best adult pairing to date. The chemistry between the actors was amazing! Franco loved her and only her, and he loved all her kids too! Franco did nothing but worship Liz. He was wonderful to her.
  3. I doubt they will kill off Trina’s and Josslyn's boyfriends at the same time! I know Spencer’s not dead but I’m sure Carly will teleport to Sonny’s location and save Dex.
  4. I understand they are not popular here but I like Trina and Sprina. They were a cute pairing to me. And as someone with a law degree, I have no issue with Trina’s current feelings. Spencer just died. Esme just tried to murder her. Trina is traumatized, devastated, and depressed right now. She wanted a life with Spencer. This wasn’t some crush or insignificant relationship. She loved him. He loved her. The world was their oyster as they say. They wanted a life together. Now, he’s dead. Unexpectedly and violently. She needs time to process all that. It’s unrealistic to think she would just brush off his death and continue at the Sorbonne or just keep going to her classes at PCU. An unexpected young death can make ppl question life and if school is pointless. That said, I doubt Trina will continue feeling this way. She’s too motivated. This is how she feels now though, and that’s ok, IMO. She’s allowed to feel school is pointless after losing someone she loved and almost losing her life too. That’s a valid thought. I am fine with them exploring that angle. Anyway, the guy just died. If she’s still in a severe funk six months down the road, then I would say she should get in therapy but it’s been a week or two. I’ll give her some grace to process and figure it out. But I do like the character (and liked the pairing) so that probably impacts my view though I would probably feel the same if Dex violently died in front of Josslyn. I wouldn’t expect her to brush it off and say, “That sucks but I have that organic chem test tomorrow so I gotta study.” lol
  5. I thought that was odd too! It made me think Esme paid him to do it for some reason. I’m almost positive she’s not in Toronto! lol
  6. This is a civil case, not a criminal case, so the plaintiff can call the defendant to the stand. To @jsbt’s point, Ava is also the reason Morgan is dead. I like Ava much more than I did before but it’s good Sonny and Ava can be civil to each other.
  7. My sister said the same thing. She thinks Esme is leading them astray. They'll go to Toronto while she goes to Paris.
  8. I'm assuming her plan is to go to Paris b/c Nikolas could literally be anywhere in the world. There's no concrete place to track him down. He could be in Greece, he could be in Jamaica...who knows? But she does know where Sprina are going. Spencer is the one who gave her baby to Nikolas. And she has always irrationally hated Trina for catching Spencer's eye. She hates them and wants then to pay. Plus, she told Kevin's body to save his pity/sympathy/something for Spencer and Trina.
  9. UO opinion on this board, but I gotta agree with those who feel Esme has never had any nuance. AP is a decent actress but she hasn’t made Esme particularly vulnerable or anything. She hasn’t gone beyond the script, IMO, and the scripts are flat and one-note. From the moment Esme appeared, she was written as a one-note villain. Remember when we all thought she had some personal beef with Ava because of what she did “for Spencer” only to learn she didn’t. She torched Ava’s car and taunted her with Kiki’s death for her dad I guess but we didn’t know that at the time. It just made her seem crazy to me. I’m not committing arson for some college BF! She was then aimless for months and primarily used as the antagonist for the YA group. They never let her become friends with her age group. She targeted and alienated everyone, which isolated the character. When we finally learn her purpose, the story confirmed that she was unhinged. No sane person would think Ryan had any chance at reuniting with the woman whose daughter he brutally murdered. And it’s not like she was trying to gain his favor because of her bad upbringing and desperate need for a father figure. She had a fine life. She’s just crazy. We could have seen some nuance when she slept with Nikolas, especially considering Spencer was her boyfriend and someone she supposedly loved but we didn’t. She didn’t hesitate or anything. She just did it. She impregnated herself just to further her dad’s goals - another insane act if you ask me. They gave her amnesia but didn’t have her feeling any true remorse for her actions. She still whined when ppl brought it up. They didn’t use the amnesia time to broaden her bubble because they couldn’t. Let’s be real - they’re not hiring a bunch of new YAs to interact with this girl, and no one in the current group would ever be her friend. The writers saw to that, She has no friends and no family. I don’t count Kevin. The writers failed with Esme, but they failed her from the start, IMO. Esme hitting Kevin in the head and presumably going to Paris to exact revenge against Spencer (and Trina who has never done anything to Esme) is exactly what Esme would do. She’s not being trashed or thrown under the bus. She’s never been decent or even gray. She’s been a villain from jump. They could have changed that but they didn’t. I do think the character is on her way out, and I’m one who never needed her to resurface after her first swan dive off the parapet so it’s fine with me. I really see nowhere else to go with her. Gray characters are great. Crazy characters can’t last on a soap. Esme is and has always been nuts.
  10. In general, parents have equal rights to their children in the US. One parent can take a child out of the country or the state without getting permission from the other parent because parents have equal rights. There may be some state out there with a different rule but I’m speaking generally. Now, if there is an existing custody order, establishing who has the child at which times, etc., then one parent could potentially be in trouble for taking a kid out of the country; it would depend on the court order and state law. That said, even without a custody order, a parent might be guilty of kidnapping if they intentionally conceal the child from the other parent. Because Nikolas has essentially disappeared with the child and cannot be reached or found, he could be guilty of kidnapping. If he took the child and parked himself at Wyndemere and refused to give him back to Esme, then there would definitely be no crime because he and Esme have equal rights. Esme would have to go to court to force him to return the child to her care. I put aside the paternity issue and the FOJ issue. We can just assume paternity has been established. I’m sure GH hasn’t given that issue any thought. 😂
  11. I haven’t posted much here lately because my opinions are pretty unpopular but I have to throw this out there - I couldn’t care less that Spencer gave Ace to Nikolas. I may be alone in that on this board, but yeah, I was fine with him doing that. Heck, I cheered him on actually. Was it wrong? Yeah. Do I care? Nope. Not at all. I couldn’t care less about Esme. The character has never worked for me. Bad Esme was aimless and without purpose for far too long until they made her the daughter of psychos, and then she became completely nuts with no redeeming qualities! Amnesia Esme was equally without purpose. No real effort was put into developing her while she had amnesia. The Ace actors are cute but Ace is a pointless, unnecessary character. I’m happy to see the back of him. Esme could also leave for all I care. There’s no point to her character honestly. She’s not a good villain as written. She’s just annoying. I also think Nik is better OFF the show. I liked MC’s Nikolas (AH was good for the first for me this last go round) but they screwed over the character too much now. Nik doesn’t need to be on canvas so he and Ace can remain gone. As a huge Sprina fan, I would hope the show is searching for a permanent recast for Spencer now. If NAC wants to take that leap and try to make it in HW, I wish him luck but the show goes on. I’m one who loves TA’s Trina so I’m open to loving a new person as Spencer. I also would have overtaped with him now or temporarily recast. I see no reason he needs to “die.” The filming for Monster isn’t that long. I see this new story as possibly setting up AP leaving the show. Her going crazy and trying to hurt Trina to get back at Spencer is something I could see her doing. What else is the plan with her? She can’t solely exist as a thorn in Sprina’s side. She has friends and no family. She remains without purpose. Drew’s anger with Nina is ridiculous. The show acts like we forgot that Drew said it was better for him to go to jail than Carly because Donna and Avery needed Carly and Scout barely knew him! The man said Scout was better off without him. He also tried to sell Aurora - Scout’s legacy - to bail Carly out of trouble. When he’s released, he first goes to see Carly. Scout who? And he just tried to ship her off to a year-round boarding school!!!! The show can miss me with Drew feeling like Nina cost him time with Scout! He barely spends any time with Scout! I truly hope this plot ends with Drew (and CM) leaving the show. Drew has been a massive disappointment. They ruined the character when they tied him to Carly. Let him die for real like Franco/Austin and be done with the character.
  12. Yup!! I remember that article. He said it was hard coming in to work every day, knowing his character was never going to get a leg up and was gonna take a verbal beating from everyone including his own family members. No one supported AJ except in the early days of Courtney, and that only happened because Guza was gone at the time. The minute he came back, he ruined AJ/Courtney and put Jason with Courtney. But the lack of support AJ got from his family is a large reason I was never a huge fan of the Qs. I guess I missed the days when they were good. I only remember them supporting Jason and Sonny over AJ and telling AJ Sonny would be a better dad to Michael than him. I loved BW in the role. I was happy when he left. Guza seemed to have a personal beef with BW! Everyone punched down on him. He said he would never return to this show a year or so after he left when asked. He said it was a horrible experience.
  13. Right?!? And I’ll probably be in the minority on this, but I think it’s really disrespectful to the actor. He was invited to be on this show 11-12 years ago. He came and put his all in every role they gave him. If they wanted him gone, Austin could have spilled the beans and gone into witness protection or something. Not following up on his death is ridiculous and unnecessary. And, IMO, Austin wasn’t a bad guy and I didn’t think he deserved death for his actions. As far as folks thinking he could resurface again……who cares? He wouldn’t. But, sadly, this this isn’t the first time GH has been disrespectful to their actors!
  14. I may be in the minority but I have ZERO sympathy for Charlotte. AFAIC, she's a criminal; she's not the victim. I don't care about the supposed brainwashing. As far as we know, he wrote her a letter. That's it. Is she even brainwashed? Plus, Charlotte is 15-years old. She's not 8-years old. They haven't said she's mentally impaired or stunted in any way either. To me, that means, she should know that breaking into someone's one could get her shot. I don't care that she was shot. She brought that on herself, and everyone babying her and coddling her leaves a really bad taste in my mouth. I also don't care that she's frightened of Anna. She should be happy she's not facing criminal charges right now! Ugh. This story disgusts me. The optics are awful. Liz can just go away. Anna should have kicked Valentin in the nuts when she slapped him a week or so ago. He's a horrible father and an even worse partner. I hope she never entertains him again. Forget him and his deluded daughter!
  15. Anyone else think TJ and Portia should have an affair after their scenes today . . . . . no, just me . . . . ok. I’ll just return to lurking. 😂
