I did!!!!! I was coming here to post that!!! The fact that it was improvised makes the whole thing even more special and epic in my eyes! Taby completely trusted Nick to catch and hold onto her. They must really be in sync!! I love these two so much! I haven’t liked a couple like this since Nava and Friz!

You and me both! I couldn’t catch the show today, and it sounds like I missed nothing!! I can’t believe they wouldn’t follow up with Sprina after their epic reunion yesterday! Oh well!

Josslyn morphed into one of the heifers to me after she was so awful to Cameron when Franco died. Her demand that Cameron not believe his mother (he overheard Liz saying Jason shot Franco IIRC) and to not speak ill of Jason blew my mind. Her lack of compassion and empathy for a supposed friend was insane to me. I remember him even saying they just shouldn’t speak about Jason since they disagreed, and that wasn’t good enough for her!! Cameron had to proclaim Hason’s greatness before Josslyn would speak to him again. Since then, she has only become more obnoxious and insufferable. It also doesn’t help that she has adopted LW’s less positive acting tics. Eden plays Josslyn with smugness and self-righteousness with those the character doesn’t like. I think it’s to Carly’s detriment that LW has fully adopted the writers’ biased narrative of her character. She adds no vulnerability to any of her scenes with an “enemy,” which makes the character come off very one-note. Eden has adopted the same belief about her character and plays Josslyn in the same obnoxious way, IMO. As you pointed out, that line about why Willow would want to speak to Nina was the dumbest thing I’ve heard in a long time! The writing does this group no favors either because how does one deliver such an ignorant line of dialogue?!? Anyway, Josslyn is just as awful as the rest of them, IMO.

Me too! Me too! I have watched that flying leap like 20x! Beautiful moment for them!!! I hate to enjoy a couple because GH usually screws over the couples I like (I’m looking at you, Nava and Friz). I’m hopeful we’ll get lots more Sprina before GH blows theM up for some stupid reason! Hahahaha!! I both wanted to like and lol at your comment!! 🤣🤣🤣 Apart from Sprina, today was some hot garbage!!! You told no lies there! lol

Y’all . . . . . Trina’s leap into Spencer’s arms killed this Sprina fan. I absolutely LOVED that moment. It was the perfect end to the adventure. I really enjoyed the adventure. Was it a bit rushed? Sure. Could there have been more Sprina moments? Yup! But with how crappy soap writing is nowadays, I was happy with the story for the most part. It was the only story I cared about for the past month or so and kept me eager to tune in each day to see what was happening next. I haven’t felt that way in a long time! I’m sad it’s over, but I’m ready for Sprina’s next chapter. . . which better not have anything to do with pointless Esme. The more they say Carly AND Sonny have each other’s backs, the more I think Sonny’s in for a rude awakening. I could be wrong because that might be dramatic and interesting, and GH doesn’t typically do that especially for this group, but maybe Carly doesn’t back Sonny when the truth comes out about Michael, and Sonny sees he shouldn’t owe Carly or her brats any loyalty! That could be good!

I can’t disagree with this part of your statement. There are no consequences, and stories do fizzle out with this regime. That said, I enjoyed the IP story for the most part. I never saw the first story - it occurred before my time - but this story was pretty exciting to me. I enjoyed Sprina connecting and all the Victor stuff. I can’t say they stuck the landing, but I haven’t looked forward to the show in a long time! I can’t remember the last time I was excited to watch prior to this mini-arc so that says something. Also, I’m sorry this story has ended. Other than Sprina, Tolly, and Austin/Ava, there is literally nothing else I care about on the show right now!

Don't forget Josslyn! Why is there no "rage" emoticon? LOL! ARGH!!! I'm so glad I didn't hear that nonsense!

You and me both! I was enraged by that whole conversation. It had me cussing and I don't curse. LOL! I just can't w/the biased writing on this show. It doesn't help that I don't see Nina as that awful so that scene today was next level cruel, IMO, esp. as you said, she wasn't saying it to them both! I despise Willow. At this point, they should have absolutely nothing to do w/each other. I'm perfectly fine w/that. This stopped being interesting - IMO - months ago. Just let Nina live a life w/o her children and grandchildren and let her be ok w/that. Let her be w/Sasha and those who actually love her. That's what I would love to see, but I'm tired of seeing Nina get stomped on.

Yeah . . . they've made Willow's hatred and intolerance for Nina so extreme and OTT that I see no way they can legitimately have them bond and be friendly, which makes this whole plot pointless. Why was Willow made Nina's daughter? What was the point? @CeChase - Yeah. It's not worth recording (IMO) or watching live. Thankfully, there are ppl on Twitter and YouTube who upload Sprina scenes daily. I'm going to stick to watching Sprina from there. I'm over Nina being their punching bag. It's not interesting to me, and it's endless.

Why did I unmute? Why? I'm beyond DONE w/all things Nina/Carly/Willow on this crap show. I know I've said it before, but like an idiot, I unmuted today to see if Willow had anything kind or interesting to say to Nina. Hahaha. Of course she didn't. This bitch asked Nina to make peace w/Carly and to leave Carly alone!!!! Hahahahahaahahahaha! This show is such a freakin joke. Did she ask Bitch Carly to make peace w/Nina? No, she did not. A-hole Michael and his trash fire of a mother make snide remarks about Willow needing to rest and not getting excited when Bitch Willow asks to see Nina. The garbage dumpster bitch sister just can't imagine what Willow has to say to awful, evil Nina. Nina is only her biological mother. Who cares about that unless it's one of us. And of course Willow didn't have anything interesting to say. Why can't they let Nina write her off? Why must she care about this girl? ARGH!!!!! I loathe these characters. Loathe them. Even if I work from home, I'm NOT going to watch this show live. This Nina stuff is infuriating to me. It's not entertaining on any level. I wish a bomb would drop on them all. Take out Michael, Willow, Josslyn, and Carly! This show go screw itself. As usual - the only worthwhile scenes were the Sprina/HS stuff minus that Drewfus crap at the end w/Liesl that I muted.

I just wanted to chime in and say I agree with those who feel LW brings NO layers to the character. I’ve never see her in anything else so I can’t speak to her stellar acting in other roles. All I can say is Carly is a pretty one-dimensional character, and LW seems to have completely bought into the narrative that Carly is always right. That may be why she plays all her scenes the same way and never shows any vulnerability in a scene with an “enemy.” I agree that this hurts Carly more than help her. But that’s JMO. I missed the show today but it looks like Michael was an ass (as usual), Willow’s dying (as she has been for the last several months), Jex are still having the same boring conversation about Sonny, and randos continue to praise/prop Carly!! At least I have the Sprina/HS stuff to look forward to watching!! I’ll miss their adventure. It’s been interesting!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who saw the Carly/Nina scenes the same way. If anyone has to wonder why I hate Carly, just look at today's scenes. She is a bitch just to be a bitch. No other reason. It's really pathetic and weird. Nina asked about the wedding, but she coudn't help getting in some digs about Nelle. Why? What's the point? Dang . . . she must be a miserable person to be so consistently nasty and awful. I enjoyed the Sprina/HS stuff. I wish Sprina's adventure had been a bit longer, but it was fun while it lasted. I hope we get to see more of their relatioship develop b/c w/this story ending, there's not much else I care about right now.

Ok. I’m no huge EM fan but man…….EH gives nothing in this relationship. Eden is carrying the whole thing on her back. Is Dex supposed to be conflicted? I thought so but I’m getting absolutely nothing from the actor. I just don’t think acting is his strong suit. The writing is not helping either, but Evan is not elevating the material at all. It’s bad. Eden is better than him but not by much. I just think they (Dex, Joss, and Michael) should be playing this with more conflict. Is Willow dumb? I understand she didn’t know the details of Sonny’s business but the shock at what he does made her ridiculously naive. I’ve never met a mobster but I would assume they deal with drugs, weapons, human trafficking, or something generally terrible! I wouldn’t be shocked that they don’t actually import coffee. What was the point of that scene? Is she no longer gonna push for reconciliation?!? But the highlight of the episode for me - even beyond my Sprina moments - was Michael’s news causing Willow to pass out! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Guess she didn’t realize how vindictive and petty her husband was! I love it! If only the news literally killed her, I would be ecstatic! I rarely say this for her but did they need to meet a minimum for ReHe? Those scenes w/Robert were lame. Why she didn’t do what the SEC agent did at the end is beyond me!? Talk about dragging something out. Every time I hit mute, I couldn’t believe they were still talking about her getting into the room!!! 🙄 Loved all the Sprina stuff. I wish Taggart had been in those scenes with Trina though. Victor is cold as ice. That nose bleed scene was good.

I’m with you. Douglas should win!

The writing is inconsistent and bad!! They really tried to act like that scene with Ava a few weeks ago encouraging Nina to call the SEC was Ava just using reverse psychology on Nina! Come on! That scene did not play out that way! What a joke! Nina was citing all the reasons she shouldn’t call. She wasn’t entertaining Ava at all in that scene! Ava was the one pushing hard for to call. Today was a total rewrite! Yeah…Ava and Nina had a great conversation! It’s like Nina didn’t consider the consequences of her actions and it was suddenly dawning on her, which makes NO SENSE! I refuse to believe Nina is that ignorant or impulsive. Again, she made all the same points to Ava for NOT calling a month or so ago! Ava also pointed out how Sonny will always protect Carly and vice versa. Nina should know that too!! Clearly, Sonny loves Nina and wasn’t trying to participate in Michael’s phony case against her so why would Nina think he would be ok with the mother of his children going to prison?!?!! Nina just sat there looking stupid and then getting weepy about Wiley and Amelia’s grandmother going to jail, and how much of a support Carly has been to Willow. It was a complete joke! Those are ALL the reasons Nina gave Ava when Ava first suggested she call MONTHS AGO or whenever they had that talk!! Ugh! I’m so over Nina being trashed to service Carly!

I've been muting all the wedding crap and Carly propping though I happened to see Michael's grimace when looking at Sonny. His hatred for Sonny is so OTT and deep! You would think Sonny committed a real crime against Michael and hadn't just fallen in love w/someone else while having amnesia. Michael is pathetic. Sonny needs to remember all of this and cut Michael out of his life when Michael's revenge plot is revealed! I really enjoyed the Ava/Nina scenes . . . . for the most part. Ava told no lies (though the show clearly retconned that scene w/Ava and Nina months ago about the SEC - Ava was not being a "devil's advocate" in that scene). Nina wanted revenge. Like I said earlier this week, I just wish Nina owned that she wanted revenge and had given up on having a relationship w/Willow and her grandchildren. I had to mute just now b/c I knew Nina was going to cry after the fact. I wish she would revel in the chaos she momentarily created or adopt a LW attittude to her scenes but whatever. I'm over weepy, pathetic, always crying Nina! I hope the show is telegraphing that Carly will be upset when Michael's revenge plot is exposed. That should be what occurs but you never know w/these shows. GH, especially, is allergic to drama and lives to disappoint so I'm not expecting anything to come of it. If some drama does occur, I will be happily surprised. Last comment - why did Sam ask TJ what was up w/Molly? Go ask her yourself. I hate when shows do that. Molly was right across the room. That's Sam's half-siser! Walk over there and talk to her, Sam, if you wanna know so bad. LOL! I dd think Molly and Sam looked really pretty. I liked their dresses. Truly last comment - I watch this show called A Million Little Things, and the character, Gary, is dying from lung cancer. He is Stage IV. He looked so sick and pale. He had a deathbed (practically) wedding last night too, and he was visibly sick-looking. They could have at least made Willow pale or something. Can someone explain to me why she was given cancer? What was the point of that? I know I keep asking but I'm just trying to figure out why we were told this story. She's not dying. Her kid didn't die. What was the point? Has anyone been afraid that she would die? I will never understand this part of the story. It was completely unnecessary.

So, I haven’t watched this week, and I decided last week that I was done with all things involving the following stories: Willow’s cancer, Michael’s lame (yes, I’m already calling it) revenge, insider trading/SEC, and the Willow/Nina relationship. I’ve read that Nina called the SEC, and my only issue with it is the show’s unwillingness to have her be proud and unapologetic about it. Back in the day, soap characters did things they were unapologetic about all the time. Why can’t Nina have an “I did what I did. Sorry, not sorry” attitude about it?!? I’d rather see that than her whining and crying later when it’s discovered. I’d rather see her tell Ava she’s written off the idea of ever having a relationship with Willow so she just doesn’t care anymore. I don’t know. Anything is preferable to crying AFTER the fact. Anyway, this story has nothing to offer those who actually like Nina so I will continue to not watch. This part of the show is basically written for the Carly lovers/Nina haters. Whatever. 🙄 I believe Sprina is back tomorrow so I will tune in and mute/FF the Carlys. ETA: I also agree with those who feel Willow could walk herself down the aisle! 🙄

Today really highlighted that for me too. There would be so many more stakes if Dex was dating Kristina rather than Josslyn. His duplicity would actually have a point and would mean something. Sonny would likely care about the relationship. It would just be better. Jex is a huge nothing burger in terms of drama.

So, Sprina was a happy surprise for me! I wasn’t expecting to see them because they weren’t on the previews so that was nice. Twitter already had all their scenes posted so I caught up on what I missed. I’m happy Trina was able to find new clothes to wear. I loved the Sprina scenes today. I think they have wonderful chemistry, and they make me smile!! I loved the flirting, the kissing, and the almost sex. Trina was like, “we could die tomorrow…..let’s go!” 🤣 It was a great Sprina day. It makes me laugh at Portia thinking she can stop that relationship from moving forward!! What’s the point of Dex’s guilty faces if he’s continuing with his plans?!? He knows Dante, Kristina, Donna, and Avery love the man. If he’s having second thoughts, just say that already. I hope this plot is done soon! Curtis/Drewfus got the mute from me. I don’t think many like them but I like Tolly! Endo sucks!! I felt more for Molly in that moment than for Willow in the entirety of Willow’s cancer story. I would love to see more Tolly and less Millow. Sonny’s deluded and in a for a rude awakening. Maybe he’ll reject Michael after all this is revealed. I’d like to think Michael gets rejected by Sonny and Kristina, and that Carly and Dante get on him for his actions but who knows with this anti-climatic show.

I think @statsgirl hit on what is upsetting Nina. She wants Willow to fight. Moving up the wedding indicates she's given up. I feel like w/most illnesses, the recommendation is to keep up a fighting spirit. As I said earlier, there is just so much wrong w/the writing for this story, including Willow's general disinterest in knowing her bio family or willingness to keep fighting to be here for her kids. She's not an inspiring character or someone you want to follow on this journey.

IMO, the cancer story is a massive fail. It's been a fail on a lot of levels. Even in the movie Twilight, they let the main couple debate whether a pregnancy should go to term. Here, the issue wasn't even broached. Martyr!Carly made her decision and informed her husband when it was too late. They could have had a disagreement/argument then but nope. No drama there. He just accepted her decision and . . . nothing. That was it. I still think she should have immediately told them and they debated about what to do. That would have been some much needed internal conflict for them. They highlight Carly's secret for months. They make Willow sick. Most soap fans knew that Nina would be the one to save Willow, but instead of going that - admittedly - typical route, they decided to not let Nina save her. I don't mind diverting expectations, but why do that here? Why even do this cancer story IF Nina wasn't going to be able to save her? What was the point of giving Willow Stage IV cancer? Especially since she AND her baby are fine?!?! They could have had the mother-daughter reveal come out some other way. This cancer story was not needed. Let's talk about the reveal. It was fairly anti-climatic. Nina was rightfully upset but no one else really was. Usually reveals like this change the canvas or shake stuff up, but this did absolutley nothing. If I had done it, I would have had SoNa far away from PC and hard to reach so it would have been a race against time to reach them. And Nina would have been able to heal her. Second, I would have had Millow and Drewfus furious w/Carly. I would have had Michael bringing up how Carly is always playing god w/ppl's lives like she did w/him and AJ and Nina and Nelle. He would have gone off on her. Willow would have gone off too. Drew would have been enraged at her lies. I would have given a reason for the secret. This secret - like this entire story - was pointless. It changed nothing. It meant nothing. It was a complete waste of several months given the non-reactions and lack of consequences. For all that happened, Carly should have kept the secret for like a month or not at all honestly. As w/most things w/GH, the pacing also hurt this story. Willow has been "dying" for months. She goes from looking sick to looking fine to looking sick again. The story disappeared for weeks at a time, and then popped back up. They kept taking away who could heal her --- why, I do not know --- so it has continued to drag. At this point, most ppl don't care what happens to Willow. I've even seen Willow fans saying they would be ok w/her dying at this point. And of course, the writing has been bad. Willow and the baby survived. Either or both should have died to give the story some weight. Heck, put her baby in the NICU for months or something. I don't know. Also, the writing for the characrers is very shallow. They don't have deep or interesting thoughts. It's all surface level stuff. Willow is also not very likeable. I don't care about her cancer. I never did. I also know she's not gonna to die no matter how dire they make it soooooo it all feels like a waste of time. This story is a complete joke, IMO. I cannot wait until it is over. I'm sick of FFing/muting it. LOL.

The writing for Willow is just so shallow and bad. It’s truly awful. The pacing hasn’t helped either. Willow hasn’t shown any curiosity about her mother or her bio father. She hasn’t shown any empathy or compassion for what happened to her bio mom. She hasn’t acknowledged that the mom who raised her knew Willow had been abducted. She gave a brief mention to Nelle being her sister and seemed to regret fighting with her but nothing since. But no regret for fighting with Nina of course!! 🙄 I know she’s supposedly dying from cancer but you would think she would have some natural curiosity about this stuff. And given that she IS dying, you would think she might want to know some of this stuff before she passes but not Willow. Willow only cares about being Michael’s wife…..again. The show could at least acknowledge this is their SECOND marriage and have her say something like, “I’m happy to be marrying you for real this time” or something like that. Stop having her act like they’ve never been married. But marrying Michael is all she cares about. That’s it. We could see her making a tape for her kids or something. I get that on some level but also think she could think about other things too. I don’t know. This story just isn’t working for me. I’m over it. I honestly don’t know why they made Nina Willow’s mother. It wasn’t necessary and hasn’t changed anything! I’m not saying they needed to bond immediately but there’s just nothing there with Willow. This story is a fail, IMO. It’s not working, and it’s likely to be dragged out another year or so. I’m done. I don’t even want to see these two have a relationship. Willow is hateful and obnoxious. Nina is better off without her. I want Nina to wash her hands of Willow and live her best life. These characters (Carly/Millow/SoNa) have been connected in a story for far too long. It’s time to cut them loose from each other and tell new stories. GH writers also need to realize that ppl can be involved in more than one story. Nina can try to bond with her awful daughter but also have a work-related plot or something. I just feel like we’ve been listening to the same conversations and complaints for years! I’m ready for something new - not like it would be told any better with these writers but still. It would be nice to rant about some new stuff! 🤣

The hatred in Michael’s heart for Sonny must run deep because this should have been an automatic, “Sure. Whatever you want, Willow.” The chick is literally DYING and he still couldn’t just easily agree?! He has to grimace and look stupid, making weird faces?!! Michael is friggin’ pathetic. He is such a child. I wish he was dead. And Willow is naive. Of course, Sonny will want to bring Nina. Why would Willow even care if Nina is there?!? Nina clearly no longer wishes her harm. Would seeing Nina in the audience rattle her that much?!? Wouldn’t Willow be more focused on her stupid, doofus husband than some rando in the audience. Are they checking all the “plus ones” to make sure they like them first?!? Come on! Millow are perfect for each other. They are both pathetic and hold grudges for life!! Nothing that happened with Nina or Sonny was that serious, IMO, or justifies this longstanding hate. And Willow is a massive hypocrite. Michael should forgive Sonny but Willow can’t give Nina - the woman who gave birth to her - a second chance?!?!? Nina can’t even be at her crap wedding?!? Ugh! I wish Nina would drop this useless chick. She needs to stop worrying about Willow!!! Willow is not worth Nina’s time or love! I’m surprised they gave Gregory a diagnosis this quick. ALS is a horrible disease!!! GH sure is depressing! They could have given him something less tragic or curable!! Why was Chase asking where Brook Lynn went?!?! He made it clear that he wants nothing to do with her so she left! Why would she stick around? That’s what I would love to see from Nina! Take the hint and move on with your life! That Valentin/Nina scene was nice! And, Sonny, wake up! Your son doesn’t love you and probably never truly did since he can turn it off so easily. Why did you think you would be invited to his wedding?!?! I’m gonna need SoNa to WAKE UP!

I may be in the minority but I don’t mind Gregory. I’ve never been an Alexis fan, and she was downright obnoxious with him a couple of weeks back. She was pushy and annoying! I didn’t even think they were friends like that for the way Alexis was acting so i found her behavior to be extremely off-putting! Why she thought she deserved to know this man’s secrets is beyond me!!! I like the actor who plays Gregory whose name I believe is Gregory Harrison. I remember him from an 80s nighttime soap called Falcon Crest my mom used to watch when I was a kid! He’s doing the best he can with this material. GH clearly hasn’t decided what illness he has yet so his dialogue is bound to be repetitive and lame for the next few months or so.

That was bloody awful. I had a work holiday today so I was excited to see more of the HS/Sprina stuff but today was a complete bore . . . . . for me. Why can’t Willow ask Michael herself to make peace with his dad? Why does she have to ask Carly to ask him?! He wouldn’t make an effort for his dying wife?!? That speaks volumes. Michael’s year-long temper tantrum against his dad needs to end. It just highlights how pathetic he is. His line today about Sonny sounding like his dad was just plain dumb. The man never stopped being your dad, moron! He just fell in love with someone else. Get over it already! And what broken lives? Whose life was broken? All parties seem happy and fine to me! He and Josslyn are the ONLY ones still salty! 🙄 And Josslyn is equally dumb. What did she expect Sonny to do when he found out about her and Dex?!? She seems really upset that Sonny didn’t care. Why did she ever think he would??? Sorry, I have not been following the Holly stuff so I just muted that. Alexis and Gregory - Gregory can’t work for anyone. He needs to get his health under control. I wonder how long he’s gonna kept collapsing in front of Alexis but not his kids?!? Come on, Show! He’s gotta drop in front of one of them soon. Though I’m sure the show hasn’t figured out what illness he has yet so I’m sure he’ll continue to collapse in front of Alexis and be mum about his illness! 🙄 I think that was it. Oh, yeah, there was Chase. Reinstate him already and start telling a new story for him. I like SoNa but I’m sure their conversation was about Nina’s dying daughter who I couldn’t care less about so I had to mute them too. I muted most of the show today. I hope tomorrow is more interesting.
