Thanks for the clarification! I guess I wasn't paying close attention. I just noticed her hoodie while everyone else was much less covered up. She was practically in a sack. It feels like a weight thing to me. As I said before, maybe the actresses are uncomfortable or wardrobe has no Size 8-10 clothes for them to wear but it's noticeable and distracting. Wardrobe needs to do better! If the actresses are self-conscious, I'd shut up about it but I worry it's the wardrobe dept!

I gotta say the courtroom scenes were the highlight of today's show and the main reason I turned in. For once, I got a little bit of drama so that was nice!! I had to laugh at Sonny trying to get Carly out of the courtroom and confess real quick because he knew he was about to be exposed! LOL!!! That was hilarious!! I also liked how Carly wouldn't leave! She knew what was up! Michael is so annoying. His threat against Scotty for doing his job was just too much! I'm glad his bribery is going to fail and fail in a spectacular way! He should have talked to Sonny before doing this! Maybe it's my practice, but I've learned to never be more outraged or enraged than the actual victim. Sonny was too nonchalant about what happened. Michael should have picked up on that and known something was up. I really wonder if the actresses playing Maxie and Brook Lynn are the ones really self-conscious about how they appear on camera or is wardrobe clueless? Why is Maxie in a hoodie in a HOT yoga class? Why was Brook Lynn in a wool jacket and a blazer while locked in a sauna? And the yoga classes were back-to-back so I doubt the temperature had dropped. It's very odd and noticeable at this point. I can't believe those kids have not gone on this trip, yet? Can they please go already?!? They've been talking about it for months now! It's silly at this point. I did mute them after awhile, but the show needs to move their (all the teens/YAs) story along. It's stagnant.

Something is definitely up w/Chad! This is his second failed marriage! I wish we knew what happened b/c I guarantee it's more interesting than anything on GH right now. 😄

I swear these kids have been talking about this trip for at least two-three months!! Can they just go on this freaking trip already? I’m tired of hearing about it every 5 weeks!! We got a bit more info on Esme, but can we speed this up?! What is her end game? Let’s get there already! How do you eavesdrop on HALF of a conversation?!! If you’re gonna eavesdrop, commit and listen to the ENTIRE conversation. Plus, Willow’s attitude afterwards made no sense. Why is she upset? None of what she heard has anything to do with her! Michael talking about Nina going to jail just made me roll my eyes! I can’t wait until she doesn’t go to jail so his brain will explode! So, are we back to Jarly? What was the point of the Epiphany/Carly scene? To make Carly regret “choosing” Sonny when the Smike/Nina relationship is revealed?!? They need to stop with the Carly grief scenes! It’s overkill! ETA: No matter what Maxie says, she has never behaved as a mother whose newborn was ripped from her arms and abducted by a psycho nurse. Maxie should be beside herself with worry and concern but she isn’t. She seems perfectly normal, which is abnormal.

Because I’m a Brad (and Brucas) fan, I would have loved for him to NOT have been involved in the switch. What was the point in making him a part of it anyway? I’m not sure an on-screen “villain” was needed anyway. They didn’t even deepen Brad’s bonds with Michael, etc. to make the reveal worse. They showed some conflict/tension with Lucas, but Brucas were basically side players in their”own” story. I will never not see Brad’s inclusion as TIIC ruining Brad just to do it. It was completely unnecessary to the story. The same story could have played out with Brad being an innocent party too. The only character impacted was Lucas, and they didn’t focus on him anyway so if Brad hadn’t known, Brucas still could have faded into the background like they already did! Nothing would have changed.

You are not alone. GH is quite boring to me right now, which is why I haven't been posting a lot. I catch scenes on YT of the characters I want to see but that's it. I have no desire to watch the entire show. All of the current plots need to wrap up or go to the next step already. For instance, Esme has been around for months, and we still don't know her end game. I don't even know if she truly loves Spencer or not. She's working where Ryan is, right? So, what is the plan? Have they said yet and I missed it? Call me crazy but shouldn't we know by now?!! Why doesn't Carly know about the Smike/Nina romance yet? What are they waiting for? If Sprina is gonna happen, can we make some moves toward that? All baby switches are awful and need to end sooner rather than later but Chase's involvement is just dragging this one out even more!! Where are his parents by the way? Oh, and Liz's perpetual unresolved parental issues. . . . they just mention them but never go to the next step! I'm not very interested in GH right now. Hopefully, things pick up soon.

THANK YOU!!!! I hate everything to do w/Wiley, and I hate all the false drama around him. "If Nelle gets custody, she will kill Wiley." "If Nina gets to see Wiley, he will implode and die." 🙄 Just stop! No one cares about Wiley! That brat will be fine if he sees Nina. But this is what the Corinthos cult does - steal and prevent access to children! They make me so sick!

I guess I’m in the minority. I like Sasha and Brando, and I don’t mind their pairing or pregnancy at all. Was it necessary? No? But I’m not bothered by it. I also wouldn’t care if their baby died. IMO, Louise, Wiley, Avery, and James were all pointless babies, especially Wiley since they made him Michael’s kid. I’d appreciate Wiley more if he had remained with Brucas because Michael didn’t need a kid! Sasha and Brando’s baby probably will die. I really don’t care, but theirs is the first baby of a pairing I have actually liked since Brucas was adopting!

It has never bothered me what ppl have posted about characters I like. I'm not sure why some ppl care. Mildew is the BEST nickname for Michael/Willow. It fits them perfectly! On Mediadomain - a defunct soap message board - people came up w/the best nicknames for characters. Scummy for Sonny. Toad for Todd on OLTL. Bozo or Bo on OLTL. Snarly for Carly. LOL! Those were good times. No one got upset. It was all in good fun. I post on Soap Central, but I can be more honest about my feelings re: the show and the actors on this board. For instance, I don't think it's actor bashing to say someone cannot act. It's not like I'm tweeting the actor! Plus, it's just an opinion, but you cannot say that over there.

Go Austin!! Loved his scenes today and loved his line about Brook Lynn's misery being his joy! And that line about saying hi was the best! LOL! I know he will eventually feel bad b/c of Maxie's involvement, but I'm happy he got some revenge on Brook Lynn! I wasn't really paying attn to much else. I will say it's good Cam/Joss have decided to have sex on their own timetable and not to match or one up Esme. I have been FFing/muting these scenes but that's the gist I got from reading the boards. Who cares if Esme thinks their virgins? Big whoop! I think Fiz could be cute. They just need better (and more consistent) writing. I was only half paying attn to them, but if the writers want to go there w/them, they really need to step it up in the writing dept! But maybe their scenes were super cute today. Admittedly, I wasn't really paying attn. LOL! Yeah . . . I didn't really watch much else but I do have a question. If Phyllis owns Charlie's now - is Kristina still working there too? I know they have no intention of ever writing for Kristina/LA but why not write her doing something fabulous offscreen! Give her some amazing life outside of PC. I thought she was gonna own that bar but if she isn't, then give her something else.

As a Brad/PS fan, my fear is Brad is only being brought back to be killed and kick off the next lame mob war/SL. The only writer to treat Brad with any respect was RC, and he’s long gone. I don’t have any faith in these writers to just let the man be released and go about his life or that he would ever get another storyline as he had under RC. No, that would be too simple and kind. They don’t care enough about Brad to do that. AFAIC, they used Brad a few years ago for their crappy baby switch, and I could see them using him again! His death could start a “mob war” btw Sonny and Mrs. Wu because that would be so entertaining! 🙄

Ummm . . . why in the world did Britt shoot first before checking who was coming in the door? Why not go to the side of the door to see who comes in? I know she was scared but that just seemed stupid. That said, I was not fully watching today's episode. OMG . . . I did hear Sean say, "How am I going to get justice for Hayden," and I almost had a meltdown. I hate this retconned story SOOOOOO MUCH! As far as I'm concerned, Hayden knows who shot her and doesn't care. So, does Hayden really need justice? And I know if Hayden ever reappears she'll probably have amnesia w/everyone else, but I will never forget! I don't want to sound like a broken record but this story is complete and utter trash! I feel for SB b/c he is a broken record - "justice for Hayden, justice for Hayden" - that's literally all they have the man doing. Just end this mess now. From what I saw - good acting w/MC and NC but as a fan of Nikolas and Spencer and their relationship, I'm not that interested in seeing the split btw them widen. Good scenes w/Austin and Maxie. I think Austin is going to figure out the secret and use it against Brook Lynn (but not Maxie) in some way. That's cool w/me. No comment on CarSon or Sante. LOL! They were automatic mute material for me.

They picked the wrong story then. Sean pleaded guilty to protect Sonny and the business. He didn't receive a disparate sentence because of his race, and I write that as a black female lawyer. LOL! In all honesty, I haven't been paying attn to this story. I just know multiple ppl knew Nikolas was behind Hayden's shooting and now no one knows AND Sean is on a tear to find Hayden's shooter. It's not clear to me why he cares so much or the ultimate purpose of this story, but I wish it would end already. Haha! It's very similar to Liz's dad. I'm sick of this show raising issues and dropping them for months only to raise them again. Tell the story (if you have one to tell) and move on!

If I hear Hayden's name one more time, I'm gonna scream. I don't care about Hayden or who shot her, esp now! I couldn't be more over a story than I am w/this shooting. So, they retconned away everyone already knowing what Nikolas did just to turn around and still have Nikolas behind it?!?! Why??! Why give everyone else clean hands except Nikolas?! What was the point of the retconned FB? Why is this a story? Hayden isn't even on the show? And why is it referenced every 3-4 weeks? Just tell the story and be done w/it! No . . . I guess we have to watch Carly/Sonny/Josslyn/Jason every stinking day! I'm FFing/muting this story until it's over. I'm done.

I don't practice criminal law but Nina has committed no crimes that I can see. There was no identity theft or fraud. Nina had no legal obligation to give Sonny his true name and identity, and you are not typically obligated to report any crimes you see. There are some exceptions but there are no "good samaritan" laws. Nina committed no crime. I have no idea what law was broken, so I'm assuming GH is just making up crimes as they see fit for the story they want to tell. Nina is morally wrong, not criminally wrong.

Thank you!! That is a fine explanation but Brook Lynn has never stated that, and her attitude towards him is still OTT! She acts like she despises the very sight of him. It's just too much, IMO. She needs to take it down some, IMO. ETA: I recall her being afraid of him remembering the baby switch, but she is still just so extra when it comes to him.

Brook Lynn's hatred of Austin is irrational and OTT. I do not get it. What did this man do to her? She keeps saying Edward wanted Jimmy Lee out of his will. Okay. But what if Edward changed his mind? Would it be that bad if he did? I don't get her. I am happy Austin signed that paper and told her it wasn't over! She is beyond annoying! Ned needs to divorce Olivia. If she cannot handle a difference of opinion about her child, then they shouldn't be married. Olivia is beyond annoying, and she makes me sick. Sonny can shut up about Nikolas and his fathering skills. You shot one of your sons, got another one shot, got your daughter almost blown up, and lost some other fetuses to mob violence. Shut up. I'm in the minority in that I understand why Spencer is upset w/Ava. I truly get why he doesn't trust her and thinks she's bad for his dad, but it's sad that he's letting his hatred of her rule his life. Let it go, Spencer. Ava is living rent-free in his head, and that's just sad. I would tell my dad to be cautious of her, but that's it. Nikolas has to live his own life. I didn't watch the Carly/Willow scenes. Chad perks up a bit (IMO at least) when he gets to be more assertive and do "bad" things. I'm guessing Willow won't be happy w/him.

I'm just an admitted, unashamed Roger stan (not really a stan), but I really enjoy him as an actor! He is the reason I started watching soaps b/c I was mesmerized by his portrayal of Todd Manning on OLTL. I loved Todd. When Roger left, I followed him to ATWT, back to OLTL, and then to GH. I don't think any of his characters are the same. They are all different, and Todd will always be the darkest of them all, IMO. I liked them all. The only one I can say I may not have liked was his "Drew." The bad writing didn't help, but I tend to like every character he plays. I even liked the characters he played on Dawson's Creek, The Flash, and Prey. There's just something about Roger I love. I loved Franco and wish he were still here, but I like Austin too! I just wish they would show him more often and keep up the momentum of the storyline.

Yes, we can definitely still be friends :) My point when it comes to Austin is this: he wants to challenge the will in a court of law. That's fine. He will either win or lose. That's it. If Brook Lynn was sure about their case, she wouldn't be fighting him so hard. She'd just let it play out. She just seems angry and upset that the pie is going to be shared w/Austin, and I don't know why! She gave away her shares to get out of a contract! Does she really care about ELQ now? I don't believe she does so I'm having a hard time understanding her. For this soap opera, I'm sure that letter/memo will be sufficient to get Austin a seat at the table or some shares. These shows rarely do things realistically when it comes to the law or medicine.

I love Britt, but I sure wish she had suspended herself when she gave Peter access to Franco's medical records. She literally walked away while he read Franco's medical records and then published a story about them!! I do understand her position and what she did, but the hypocrisy is blowing my mind! Is EM actually in school? Is there a reason she is on all the time? Go have fun in school, girl! I could use a break from all things Josslyn! She (and her obnoxious mother) are on way too much! I like Austin, and I think it's a joke that Chase has an issue w/Austin. Austin did not manipulate Chase. Austin did not deceive Chase. Austin made it clear what he wanted, and Chase did what he wanted. It's funny b/c what Chase did is so not a big deal in my eyes! His lousy revenge was handing over a document?!?! Who cares?!?! It was nothing Chase had to apologize for or feel guilty about. If Edward did change his will, the Qs should know that and honor the man's wishes. It was his company to do w/as he pleased. If Austin's legal challenge fails, it fails. Brook Lynn is just consumed w/her scheme! She is OTT in her hatred of Austin! The man has literally done nothing deserving of all her hate. I missed most of the Sonny/Jason chat, but Sonny didn't seem too angry. He doesn't have much right to be angry w/either of them anyway considering he was supposedly dead. Steve Burton needs to teach Chad how to sparkle w/someone. I was never on the JaBritt train (I automatically FF/mute Jason), but I saw the sparks in the very last scene w/Jason in the doorway. He sure knows how to turn it on when he wants. He always has though, and he turns it on w/that actress. No wonder y'all were liking them. That said, Britt thinking of ways to engage Jason made me sad. She lasted all of one day! I really have no interest in seeing her w/Jason, and we know that's where they are headed. Jason does not deserve romance in his life. Just stick to being CarSon's lackey! LOL!

I love Scotty! I literally LOL'ed at his "Let me script it for ya. 'Hey Jason'" line! That was hilarious to me. I guess Britt will reach out to Jason, which will start up JaBritt again. I was never a fan so it doesn't matter to me. I hope the JaBritt fans get their couple this time around. I can't help but remember Britt breaking HIPAA rules and giving Peter access to Franco's private medical records, so I'm not too excited to see her come down on Austin. I know she has to address it, and it makes more sense for her to be in that scene than Terry esp b/c of the Brook Lynn/ELQ angle, but I'm going to be giving her the side eye tomorrow if she comes down hard on him. I will have a hard time getting over the hypocrisy of it all. Why is Carly so obnoxious all the time? Why must she always be at a 10? Why must she always yell and shout ppl down? Her assumptions re: Ava were beyond annoying, and then all the threats about what Sonny would do . . . ugh!! I just rolled my eyes. If she had shut up, she might have learned about the romantic relationship btw Nina/Sonny. She's just obnoxious all the freaking time. It's tiring. From what I saw. I liked how Nina was reacting to Sonny's threats. Her line about a list of places he would be that she could avoid was great! I liked the way CW played the scene too. It was like she was humoring him. I laughed. I heard Jason's line about caring about the Qs or whatever, and I laughed. He should be struck down dead for that lie. I still like Austin. I hate Olivia but liked what she said to Brook Lynn about Leo. Brook Lynn is using her son. And as Brook Lynn babbled on about ELQ, I appreciated Olivia's attitude. If her kid is autistic, she doesn't care about ELQ shares! I was over Brook Lynn's OTT Austin hate weeks ago, and today she reached new lows! At no time has Austin ever told anyone Leo WAS autistic. The man has simply suggested they get the child tested. That's all. That's his huge crime. Brook Lynn only cares about her preserving her scheme. She doesn't care about anything or anyone else!

It was the real hit. Liz was talking to someone who was also in the know - maybe Sam - and reflecting on some retconned conversation she had with Nik around that time about the hit. Liz knows Nik got Hayden to leave town recently. She was angry with him for a minute about that and demanded that he find her sister and bring her back to town.

See . . . . for me, the only point of that FB was to establish Nik’s innocence. Once the story started, we already saw it had been changed when Laura acted like she didn’t know Nikolas had Hayden shot! Then, we saw everyone else who knew was also suffering from amnesia. If Nikolas has still done it, that retconned FB was completely pointless. It just cleared Liz, not everyone else who also knew. Liz could have just remained part of the mass amnesia group.

Hahaha 🙂 It's my lazy way of writing "flashback." There was a recent retconned flashback w/Liz and Nikolas in the GH stairwell where Liz confronted him about putting the hit out on Hayden, and Nikolas claimed that he had just made that up but had never done it. I thought it was the show's way of retconning the entire story but who knows w/these writers.

Thank you! The retconning of this major storyline is so insulting to me. We already know who had Hayden shot. It was Nikolas. Laura knows this. Liz knew this. Sam and Drew knew it. Hayden knew it. Did Alexis know as well? This was not a secret or a mystery that had to be solved. Now, I assume (which I know I shouldn't do) the retconned stairwell FB was to absolve Nikolas of this act completely. If all we're headed to is Sean confronting Nikolas only for Nikolas to say he didn't do (and that be the truth), can we just get there already? This story is taking FOREVER to gain traction and move along. It doesn't help that I don't care who shot Hayden. I also think Hayden not even being on the show right now is hurting this story. I'm supposed to care about someone who was shot (and thought she knew who did it and was perfectly fine) who's not even on the show anymore? It's like the Nelle reveal. I thought they were going to recast or bring the actress back. What's the point of making Nelle the daughter if she's not even on the show?!?! GH sucks.
