@driver18 - I just didn't care for the way Nina came at Sasha. She came at her w/accusations from the start instead of asking her questions. If she had said, "Sasha, why are you wearing that necklace" instead of "How could you do this to me? You know how much the half-heart necklace means to me? I thought you were trying to be a better person", it would have played better to me and less obnoxious. It was just too much for me.

I understand why Nina was upset. I just didn’t appreciate her assumptions. It reminded me of when Sam accused Brad and then Lucas of stealing her stupid dragon statute. Why come out all accusatory off the bat?!? That’s my point. It is obnoxious to me because Nina didn’t know all the facts and didn’t know if she even had a right to be angry in that moment. Why not simply ask a question first?! Nina immediately went to the “how could you do this to me” and “I thought you wanted to be a better person.” It just annoyed me. I know Sasha has done her dirty but that doesn’t mean , to me at least, that Nina has the right to yell and accuse her of crap all the time for the rest of her life. Sasha’s world doesn’t revolve around Nina and her lost child. I just wish more soap characters were less accommodating and more “real.” Sasha is nicer than me because I would have told Nina that she was the last thing on my mind so she could get out of my face with her accusations!

The inconsistency with Sam kills me. At times, she's civil w/Franco, and other times, she acts like he's the devil! I'm a Franco fan, but I know some will never like or forgive him. If Sam never forgives him, that's fine; I just want her to be consistent. You are either scared of him, or you aren't. I say she's not scared of him at all. Last week, she let him inside her home when he was having a mental breakdown, and again today, when he's having a mental break, she's comforting him (which is fine) and asking him if he's okay. She demands to know what's going on w/his tumor (even though Liz told her about it last week) and then walks away when he's trying to speak to her about it. She's just all over the map. Alexis is a whole hot mess. What she did today is inexcusable! I'm assuming this has to be her rock bottom. She practically killed Dante while attempting to kill Franco! She needs to get it together. Though I want this horrible, dragged out way too long necklace story to be over . . . . . I must say I would laugh if the necklaces didn't match up tomorrow. Nina had NO right accusing Sasha of having her stupid child's necklace. Those things are a dime a dozen. There is NOTHING special or unique about that particular half-heart necklace. Nina is just so obnoxious about the whole thing. That said, I really do want an end to this story. I'm so sick of this necklace and Nina talking about her kid. I'm just over it. I liked Britt's line to Peter about driving the bus over him! Someone needs to do it! I need Peter dead yesterday. He is beyond annoying. Willow is so unlikeable. I hate that she's going to string Chase along while pining for boring Michael. She and Michael are such weak cowards. Their interactions have been so juvenile and lame. They clearly want to be together, but just can't admit it! That story is simply not interesting. Just put them together and then backburner them I say!

I think they just want to show Sonny being manic. The nurse will discover he's bipolar and get him medicated.

I know Franco & Friz aren't well-liked here, but I must say: GO LIZ!!!!! I loved everything she said to Jason! Franco is a better dad to Jake than Jason has ever been. She's right. An occasional visit and sleepover can't compare to the consistency Franco provides. I guess I never thought I'd see the day where GH let Jason be called out to be a crappy dad, so that was a pleasant surprise. Again, I know I'll be in the minority, but I love how she stood up for Franco and told Jason he better not lay a hand on her husband! That was the best! I want to watch that again! I'm in the minority when it comes to Tracy's scheme too. Was it right? No. Did I care that she did it? No, I can't say that I cared at all. At the end of the day, Alexis was passed out drunk. That was the only way Tracy was able to do what she did. Alexis needs to get it together. Maybe this was her rock bottom, but I've found her to be a miserable drunk who wants everyone else to be miserable too. And she can say she wasn't going to tell, but she clearly was going to spill that secret! She has loose lips when she drinks! I thought Olivia had good things to say to Alexis and Ned. I loved how she broke down how they could have stopped things before it went too far, but they didn't. That said, I didn't really feel anything for Olivia. We barely see (or maybe I FF) her and Ned together, so I'm not all that invested in their relationship. That said, she was all over Lulu to forgive Dante for happily screwing her cousin on two occasions w/no regret, so I think she should give Ned a chance! He was much more remorseful than her son! I'm guessing the nurse will figure out that "Mike" is bipolar. I do wonder how the nurse (forgot her name) ever got together w/her husband (Lenny, right). They just seem like polar opposites. This necklace . . . . . . if they do not wrap up this freaking storyline soon, I'm gonna rip out my hair! I'm so sick of hearing about the necklace and Nina's child! It's been at least two years, right? Talk about dragging out a storyline. This is beyond ridiculous at this point.

I had conflicted feelings about Josslyn today. She is so self-absorbed, it's ridiculous! Does she know Cameron's dad has an inoperable brain tumor and could be dead soon? Does she know this? Does she care? Trina thought her dad was dead for months. We never see Josslyn comforting her friends about their issues (that I can remember); she is always talking about herself, her problems, her issues, her pain. It's always ALL about her. And this journal crap? Ugh . . . . Dev was wrong to steal her journal, but she's 18-years old. I'm just having a hard time buying her being so upset about losing that journal. Can she not remember how she felt when Oscar died? She needs to read the words or something? LOL! Again, I know Dev was wrong to throw away her journal, but I don't care that he did and I don't care about that situation at all. Now, as a huge Morgan fan, I must say I liked what Josslyn said to Ava re: Morgan. I know he was not well-liked here, but I loved Morgan. He was the most interesting Corinthos son! In MY opinion, this particular scene was well-written and well-acted. Josslyn wasn't overly bratty or obnoxious. She just said how she felt, and Ava was right to not respond. Yes, I absolutely adore and love Nava, but I hate what Ava did to Morgan and I do hold her 100% responsible for his death. That said, it is very annoying that no one can ever throw up in the Corinthos clan's faces the crap they do in a way that validates the charge. Scotty mentions Karen, but it is always downplayed. Nikolas brought up Carly keeping Spencer from him, but it was only for "two months." The writing goes out of its way to paint the Corinthos clan in the best light at all times instead of just letting them take a hit. Why can't Monica call out Carly for the trash that she is and how she basically MURDERED her son w/o making it seem invalid in some way?! Why can Michael forgive CarSon, but Sam/Lucas can't have one nice memory to share about Julian? Alexis has to burn the man's pictures?!?! Really?!?! The bias and favoritism on this show is ridiculous!! And I say that as someone who didn't even like Julian. With regard to Michael/Willow - I guess the story is they will pine for each other while reconciling w/their exes. I'm so excited!! 🙄 I know they have no story to tell w/Millow otherwise, but I don't want to see Chase and Sasha in their mess anymore. Those pairings are done and should just be over. Let Sasha move on w/Brando. Let Chase be single for a while or move on w/Amy or something. Oh, and I think Finn actually believes he is Chase's dad. I think that's the main reason he kept his distance all this time.

Thanks for the breakdown, @statsgirl! 🙂

Yup! All impeachment. Was it good? What happened today?

GO NIKOLAS!!!! I loved everything Nikolas said to Carly. He really put her in her place! She has a lot of nerve!! I love that he stood up for Ava and their relationship, and I loved his line about not letting Carly take another kid to raise as her own. I only wish Nikolas had mentioned how she gifted Michael to Jason and then to AJ, and how they all worked doubly hard to make sure Nelle had no contact w/her child either! The Corinthos clan is known for stealing kids away from their bio parents when they don't like said parent. They make me sick. We all know if the situation were reversed, and Ava had primary custody w/Nikolas and was presumed dead, Sonny would waste NO time going to Wyndemere and getting his daughter from Nikolas. Carly is beyond ridiculous, and she called Nava hypocrites!! Jax is also a moron. Ava is Avery's biological mother. Why would she let her daughter continue to live at Sonny's home when Sonny is dead?!?!! It makes no sense. I don't understand why they are acting so shocked, and if I was supposed to see Ava as the "bad guy," they failed miserably. She has every right to get her daughter. I loved what Ava (and Jax) told Trina, but I think Ava's words were especially effective. I like their scenes. I hope Trina heard what Ava said and takes it to heart. I'm glad Molly told TJ that Brando always wanted to tell the truth. Brando really didn't deserve that punch, but I can understand why TJ was upset. Molly needed to step up and take full blame for the way it all played out. Brando even said he was going to stop hanging out w/TJ, but Molly said he couldn't do that either. He let her decide how to handle things, so I'm happy she made that clear to TJ. Sonny seems less edgy. Guess his amnesia is going to come w/a whole new personality. LOL!

Just catching up and had to comment on Willow! Ugh . . . . Can someone please explain to me why this dumb witch went on a date if she wants to proclaim that she’s married?!?! What is this nonsense?!? If her marriage is so sacred to her, why is she going on a date with another man?! Was this her middle school way of trying to see if Michael would protest?! After she proclaimed she was married and had to go, Chase should have gotten a clue: it’s over! What is the point of this plot anyway? Willow keeps running away from Chase and Michael, so nothing is ever resolved. It just keeps going on in circles! Plus, we all know Millow is endgame so why the delay? I honestly don’t get it. I know Millow is boring, and there is no story to tell with them, but trashing Chase just to keep Millow front and center is not the way to go either, IMO. I wish Chase would just give up on Willow. She’s a messed up, ridiculously confused individual who is not worth this much effort. He just needs to realize that sometimes you can’t go home again and let Willow go. Just wash his hands of her and her multitude of issues and get a new girlfriend or be single! Whatever. Just stop chasing and begging this girl for another chance. I will never understand how her developing feelings for Michael could match what she supposedly felt for Chase, but that seems to be the case. So, Chase needs to pull a Drew and just remove himself from this lame situation. I hate that the show is gonna continue using Chase though and throwing him under the bus to prop Millow - the dullest pairing in soap opera history. They could just put Millow together and be done with it already.

No! I swear these two have NEVER shared screen time until recently. I hate this kind of plot point writing. They've had plenty of opportunity to show an Alexis/Olivia friendship, but they never have. Olivia is rarely shown as is, and I swear I've never seen her w/Alexis.

Right?!!? When Carly was droning on today, all I could think about was Donna. Josslyn is 18 now I guess, but Donna is a year-old, right? Does Carly not care about Donna at all?!?! She's all, "I would go again. I would go by myself. I would die for you. I don't care," and I'm like, "Hey . . . . . did you forget about your disabled infant/toddler? Guess you're okay leaving her an orphan b/c Jason needs back-up!" Really?!?! Ugh. As you said, I'm sure there are Jarly fans who adore their scenes and loved those words btw them today, but I just rolled my eyes. Those two are beyond sickening. And I didn't get to see the entire show today, but if I were Finn, I would be upset w/Anna. From what I saw, it seemed like she was making trouble/waves. Finn's situation is incredibly awkward. Yes, I know it's a situation of his own making, but I completely understand why he has avoided his dad and Jackie all these years. I felt so bad for him. Why is Anna trying to cause him problems? She's supposed to be his girlfriend! If my boyfriend told me he had slept w/his dad's fiance the night before their wedding and suspected he was his brother's dad, I would tell him to take that to the grave. LOL!!! I certainly wouldn't be chatting up the wife/ex and trying to expose the secrets. Anna wants to keep her Peter secret so Finn wants to keep his. She should be an ear for him, but let him take the lead on his own life. Oh, and I feel bad for Brando. Why is he involved w/Cyrus again? I know Sonny got him involved but why? Just to keep an eye on him and provide intel? Cyrus is so awful to him. LOL! If I were Brando, I'd want to quit. LOL!!! Cyrus is always yelling at him, and now he's blackmailing him. Wasn't Brando an ex-marine or army guy? Does he still have that bike shop, or is he a full-time bodyguard for Cyrus now?

Sorry . . . I highly suspect Finn is Chase's dad, but that has NOT been confirmed on the show yet. Apparently, many viewers suspected Finn was Chase's dad way back when Chase was first introduced, but I admittedly wasn't watching GH regularly then so really had no opinion. I don't even remember how Chase was introduced, but ever since I learned that Jackie and Finn were sort of in a relationship (while Jackie was also dating Finn's dad unbeknownst to Finn it seems), I have thought Finn would turn out to be Chase's dad. I think it could be interesting to see play out AND it is a story not centered on a Corinthos, so I'm excited about that. LOL!

I just will never buy that her choice was taken from her. At the end of the day, she chose to marry Michael because that's what she always wanted to do. Chase cheating on her didn't mean she had to marry Michael. But thank you for the explanation. I think she should just make a decision and be done with it. I'm over Willow at this point. Haha!

I'm really troubled by the lack of Nava scenes. We have had days upon days of Carly and Jason, and this pointless Sonny story (he's fine), but no scenes with Nikolas and Ava. Ava's brother is dead. We didn't get to see her being told he's actually dead. We didn't get to see Nikolas comfort her. This is ridiculous! But we can watch Carly have nightmares or see her and Jason searching for Sonny! We can't skip them for one freaking day to feature some other characters and stories?!? This show is such trash! Maybe I'm being purposefully obtuse, but I don't get Willow. I honestly do not understand why she is so upset with Chase. I understand he broke her heart, and I understand she feels he was making choices for her BUT she needs to take ownership of her own choices too. On the day she caught Chase with Sasha, she was coming over to postpone their date so she could chat with Michael, yet again, about his stupid baby problems. I wish this show would have her recognize that she was obsessed with Wiley and that she has some ownership in what happened too instead of laying it all at Chase's feet. She is the one who spent a good part of her relationship complaining, crying, and whining constantly about Wiley. That is a large part of the reason why Chase took the action he did. That said, I am not sure why she is playing this game with him. If Willow can a longer trust him, then I wish you would just tell him that there is no hope for them to reconcile and let him go. Is she torn btw him and Michael? I honestly don't know and don't care at this point. Just free Chase from her already. I think it's even more likely that Finn is Chase's dad after today's show. There was no other point, IMO, to Finn saying the timing didn't add up again. We heard you the first time. Anyway, this is one plot I am interested in seeing play out. Hope it doesn't take as long as the Nina daughter story.

I liked the Tolly scenes. These two could be good if the show would invest in them and stop thinking we need to see every boring moment Michael and Willow. I had hoped Molly would have told TJ the truth sooner because that would have been fresh and new for a soap, but I’m happy she told him before their commitment ceremony. It’s always nice when a soap cliche is broken! Yay for progress in storytelling!! Anyway, I like that Molly took full responsibility for what happened. I’m glad she told TJ Brando bore no blame for the incident, and I like that she gave him space when he asked. I’m also happy she told TJ how Jordan misled her. She was so vicious to Molly that day. Tolly have always been a mature couple so I think they can move past this. The funny part is if the writers were invested in them, TJ probably would have called Molly a whore and things wouldn’t have been handled so maturely. The writers don’t care about them so they will likely work things out. 😂

But it all tied back to Sonny and his mom. This was a chance to bring Michael out of CarSon's shadow and show him being his own man, but that didn't happen IMO. He was just doing things to hurt them, and he constantly talked about hating Sonny. It just wasn't that entertaining to me. When Morgan was hating on Sonny, I was very entertained. For me, BC is a better actor so the story worked for me. Here, not so much but I know my take is not a popular one. Most cite this as Michael's best time on the show whereas I don't think Michael has had that yet.

This won't be a popular opinion, but Michael did take custody of Avery out of spite, and that's all there was to it. He certainly didn't do it because he was scared for her safety. He hasn't given her a second thought! I hated that story. Plus, as a family lawyer, it was too outrageous for me to suspend disbelief. I was happy when he gave that kid back. He never should have had that kid in the first place!! And watching that clip reminds me why I never liked that story or saw it as a good time for Michael. It was too Sonny focused. Michael never stopped thinking about Sonny during this period. They never let him move on. He didn't grow. He just hated Sonny, and, IMO, Chad doesn't have a lot of range. His anger was played the same way. I just grew sick of it.

Oh, I would have LOVED that! GH always skips the natural, organic drama though. To me, it would have been much more interesting if Wiley (and Michael) had some trouble adjusting to each other. I wouldn’t have had Michael so involved in Wiley’s life before the truth was revealed so it would have truly been a life altering moment. I also would have done more with Brucas and Lucas. It should have never been as simple as it turned out to be. But, of course, this story was never about Wiley; it was all about giving Michael a girlfriend! Anyway, the scenes did nothing for me! It was too little too late AFAIC. Michael should have reached out to Lucas months ago if he truly cared, but he doesn’t. And I’m sure we won’t see with Wiley with Uncle Lucas again. This show is a joke!

I haven't seen all of the show today, but I saw the clip of Michael/Chase on Twitter so I know Michael kneed Chase in the groin. What kind of man does this?!?! Isn't that a punk move for a man?!?! I thought that was an off-limit area for them. To me, that just makes Michael look like the weak punk man child he is! And I'm sick of Michael hitting Chase and getting away w/it. Chase is a trained police officer and a lot more muscular than Michael. No one can convince me that Chase couldn't take Michael in a real fight, but they won't let them fight. Chase just keeps taking hits like a loser. The lengths this show goes to prop up loser Michael is pathetic! I've read a little about today's scenes, and if Michael is upset b/c Willow may dump him, that's on him! He's the LOSER who can't even tell Willow what he really wants like a man. He can't be mad b/c Chase is a MAN and told Willow how he feels while Michael hems and haws like a tween! And I'm seeing more reaction from Michael about Willow - again - than we ever saw about Sasha so I'm not sure why the show was so intent on selling us "Michael really cared about Sasha" crap last week! I hate Michael, and I'm gonna need Chase to STOP speaking to him. If he sees Michael, just walk by!

I didn't get to pay full attention to the show today, but as someone who normally dislikes Maxie and thinks of her as a ditz, she was incredibly prof'l and serious w/Sasha today. I was actually surprised. And Sasha's attitude was just strange to me. Did she really think she could OD and not face any consequences at work?!! Of course they have lost faith/trust in you, Sasha! I'm just not sure why they were writing her as so surprised about that. Also, she is more likely to relapse b/c she keeps trying to act like it's no big deal. Sasha needs to go to rehab and learn some coping skills! I think I heard Sonny say he was just gonna shoot if he saw Julian again . . . . well, I would hope so! I'm not sure why he was talking so much or what he was demanding. Dude, you won! Even Julian was like, "Just shoot me already." I hope this is the LAST we see of Julian! If he pops up again, I won't be mad at Sonny, Jason, or Cyrus for shooting him! Why did he even go to Kim's place? They didn't part on the best of terms. I hate how weak they've written Julian. He should have been able to skip town w/o help. He should be able to disappear w/o help. This is lame and all in service to SaSon. It's silly. I missed a lot of the Franco stuff and will have to catch his scenes on YT later tonight. But. . . . yeah . . . . this tumor story has been poorly written. They spend, IMO, far too much time on CarSaSon and Millow crap when they could be fleshing out other stories. I also thought his tumor was still inoperable, but who knows? Maybe it no longer is. I honestly have no idea!

Just catching up on GH - The JaSam break up was long overdue. Ever since Kristina dropped those truth bombs on Sam, I was wondering if the show was going to do something w/that or if it was all for nothing! I guess it was b/c Sam left Jason b/c of the danger and not b/c she and her kids are dead last on his priority list. I wish her reason had been Jason being a crappy dad and husband/partner rather than the danger, but the show would never portray St. Jason that way. In my opinion, Jason just hasn't shown much interest in Sam or their son. Sam confirmed that he barely comes home and is basically an absentee dad. To me, that should have been the primary reason she decided to end things. Plus, the danger reason would have made much more sense narratively back when Jason first returned. We had already seen Sam so worried about the "danger" that she shot Sonny and drop kicked him into a hole, and she got "Jason" shot. That Sam was happy Drew/Jason chose her and their kids over CarSon. I will never understand why the show wasn't brave enough to end JaSam then. Sam could have been pulled to Jason, but realized she valued and loved the life she had w/Drew even more. I will give Jason credit for ignoring Sonny's call. Haha! I was not expecting that. It wasn't much, but it was something! The Sam/Liz scenes were nice. I was surprised Sam said she hoped things worked out for Franco. She must be upset! LOL! My sister reminded me that when Franco was "Frew," Sam told Liz to let him go and that it was for the best! So, she's gotta be feeling out of sorts to wish him well. I hope we can see Sam w/friends more or at her job. I don't want her moping and being sad. I also don't want her getting back together w/Jason the minute he's hurt. Let this break up last for a minute. Sam needs to be less pathetic, so this could be good for her. Anna is beyond annoying! She should have nixed the double wedding idea when Maxie first mentioned it! She can't blame Finn for her cowardice!

THIS!!! All of this!!! The writing for Sasha is so sad. She is such a pathetic woman. I really need her to get some self-respect and some dignity. What happens when Michael dumps her again? She goes back to drugs?!?! Why is her self-worth wrapped up in loser Michael loving her or caring about her? It's darn right sad! Chad's acting is so lackluster that I have no idea if he's still in love w/Sasha. Maybe he is . . . maybe he isn't. Who knows? I tend to agree w/you that I didn't see any indication he still has romantic feelings for her, but maybe he does? I honestly don't know. Willow seemed more into Chase today than she was on Friday, so I'm not sure what's going on there. All I know is I'm done w/the quad. I just want to see Chase w/his family, and Sasha w/Brando. That's it. I've had enough of Michael and Willow - together and individually - to last a lifetime. That said, I don't want to see Millow, Chillow, or Micsha!

And I reject the idea that Michael and Willow were victims of Chase and Sasha. At the end of the day, Millow are happy. They chose to marry each other. They didn't have to do that. As a family lawyer, I won't even touch the stupidity of that part of the storyline. All I know is if Willow felt she had to step back from Michael and Wiley for her own mental health, nothing Chase did should have changed that. As I see it, Willow (and Michael) did what they wanted to do: get married. They are friends. They like each other. They are developing or have developed feelings for each other. They've had sex. They have never been shown to be miserable or stuck in a bad situation. They've been perfectly happy and fine. I just can't get too mad at Chase and Sasha for what they did when Millow came out the better (or so it seems) for it. I'm not even going to touch the Michael rewrites re: Sasha. I'm going to stick to what was shown - an uncaring, happy Michael. Sasha's alleged infidelity did not break him or hurt him in any significant way that we saw. He happily married Willow and seemed happy to be w/her. He never gave Sasha a second thought. Willow, on the other hand, was sad about her breakup, but she's clearly moved on from Chase. Relationships end all the time for a myriad of reasons, and Millow have bounced back. Chase and Sasha have been written like the pathetic ones here, not Millow. Now, maybe if Willow had talked about ending things w/Michael right after he won custody or just seemed like she was put out by the marriage, I'd feel some sympathy for her but she was fine staying married to Michael. She didn't have to marry him. She doesn't have to adopt his kid. She and Michael got what they wanted.

Darn these COVID restrictions!!! I wanted to see that NAVA kiss! I love Nava! They quickly became one of my favorite pairings. In all honesty, I've wanted some form of Nava since Ava ran into TC's Nikolas on that airplane. I thought she had great chemistry w/TC and Nick Stabile's Nikolas too. Her chemistry with MC's Nikolas is off the charts, crazy good! They are great together. I loved the ILYs. And while I think they may be a bit soon - I don't care. I like them! They excite me, and there is not much I enjoy on this show. I am so happy Ava was honest w/Nikolas and told him the whole story. I hope the writers don't mess them up too soon. The Quad - ugh . . . I assume the story is Millow pining for each other while giving their exes a second chance?! No. Just put Millow together and be done w/it. And please give Sasha some self-esteem. Seeing how excited she got that Michael was watching over her just made me sad. Michael is not all that, Sasha! Get out and live a little before settling for loser Michael. And Willow needs to let Chase go. It's clear she's over him and wants Michael. Chase deserves better. I am just not feeling nuLucas. Where is Ryan Carnes? I saw his response to Emme's Instagram post, so I'm thinking he was expecting to come back. Why wouldn't they call him for these horrible scenes? This new guy just doesn't work. CarSaSon - They are so hypocritical. It's okay for them to bomb places/cars, kill ppl, and keep parents from their kids but god forbid anyone do it to them! Ugh . . . . those three make me ill!
