SBu is doing more acting with Britt than he's done in the last five years.  I like that the writing touched upon whether Jason actually likes being a serial killer.

I agree and I was shocked when he told Britt he's not proud of using a gun, but he's grateful for the skill.  I feel like that is the closest Jason has ever come to showing remorse for what he's done in all the years of working for Sonny.  He looked like he really, really didn't want to leave Britt but he couldn't let his friend/surrogate lil bro Spinelli die because of Carly's screw up.

One of the reasons I don't mind watching Jason now is because Britt is realistic with him instead of being a sycophant like Spinelli or a worshiper like Carly and her children and it seems everyone else in Port Charles. It's a more rounded character and allows the greyness that the character should have.

I was surprised to see that RoHo is a doctor and not a mobster. I may have silently cheered a little.

Roger Howarth trampling through the woods half naked to deliver Maxie's baby is the first thing in WEEKS that has made me give this show my full attention. This was a genuine surprise that wasn't hinted at or given any sort of lead up on the screen, which I appreciate. I kind of hope no one calls out Austin's resemblance to Franco; unless the characters are related, I don't need any *wink-wink* commentary on Austin's looks. We all know the score here.

It's amazing how Jason went from being open and intimate with Britt to tense and brusque on the phone with Carly. Especially since he had just admitted he's not proud of his murdering skills, and now Carly's calling him to use those skills to clean up her latest mess. Steve Burton has displayed a lot of range lately and I like this version of Jason who's capable of self-reflection and vulnerability.

Congratulations to Sam and Dante for usurping Michael and Willow as the current "square peg in a round hole" forced pairing. It is seriously painful watching them flirt, and I'm also still squicked out by the siblings they share. If your family tree begins to look more like a wreath, you should not consider hooking up.

I'm confused how Ava was supposed to be a dupe for Gladys and why Ava would jump in so willingly to play that role. As Nikolas said, Carly ain't a mob boss, she's a widow, and Ava joining forces with her without a second thought to the danger that comes part and parcel to Carly's plans is dumb. I'm with Nikolas here; Ava didn't need support for this move, she needed to be talked out of it.

Also, it's so ridiculous that Maxie, the heart transplant recipient has had two baby outside on the ground with no complications.  

I think we're supposed to be on edge that there may be complications, because he was holding a silent baby all wrapped up and Maxie sounded scared asking "Why isn't she crying?"

I was thinking, okay so Maxie started having pains, escaped from the cabin, got on the ground for labor,  then Dr. Roger Howarth delivered the baby and cut the cord and was holding the baby with no signs of blood ... in an hour? Two hours maybe? I guess baby Lou was as fed up with this storyline as we are. At least Maxie was wearing a dress and didn't give birth through her pants out in nature like her good friend Sam did.

The Dante/Sam contrast to Britt/Jason shows how very lame the former is. It's not even sexy teasing, it's just mean (honestly, why couldn't she have given him a bottle of water?) and then Dante looks after her affectionately. He looks like a masochist.

 

Britt/Jason I can take, especially like you said, Britt isn't taking Jason's BS.  Dante/Sam yuk. Mike and Nina, super yuk.

 

If they were going to bring RoHo back as a doctor, why not Steven Webber? Or do they want to pair RoHo back with Liz.

Is Maxie's baby going to die and then BL will be screwed.

 

ETA: Last week there was a video circulating of a Toronto area woman who had her baby in the car on the way to the hospital and it was a tense 20 seconds before the baby cried. YIKES! I guess that is way this delivery had zero effect on me

I'm not sure Gentle Rustic Doctor Austin is better than Gentle Farmer Franco.

Ugh, why didn't Cyrus just shoot Carly between the eyes? That would solve so many of his (and our) problems.

I don't know why Ava didn't stake out the MetroCourt or GH garage and shoot Cyrus there. Oh, wait, it's because a Jerome can never show up a Corinthos.

Switching up romantic partners has helped Sbu, but KM? Not so much.  The energy is still borderline coma.

[YaddaYadda]

I don't mind Sam and Dante as much as others around here. But I find that the writers are trying very hard to have them yapping at one another and being so-called enemies (and using the word very loosely here) to something else. 

Like there are more organic ways of trying to build a couple. 

Dante: I didn't know you played softball.

Sam: Nah, I'm just here for the hot dogs and the guys in tights. 

I'm not a writer, but dear writers, try something else.

Jason should really divorce his non-wife. So he doesn't like what he does, comes close to showing remorse, but he will not leave the mob. Dude, you stupid. What in the world have Sonny and Carly done for you lately, except to call you to clean up their messes.

Does anyone remember Ava taking someone out (Connie maybe?) with a sniper rifle? Why isn't anyone taking Cyrus out? All these characters, running around likes chickens with their heads cut off is beyond the pale stupid.

And Cyrus own the stupid hospital. He could have sent his goons to pick her up. Instead he's asking Carly to bring her. Cyrus is really ineffective and good at wasting his time and mine.

Maxie giving birth in the great outdoors. I'm expecting sociopath nurse to come for her and knock Dr. Austin out. Since Maxie didn't mention anything about him looking like Franco, then I'm hoping we won't have anyone remarking on it. Whatever specialty he's in, I'm expecting an influx of patients with that condition.

Looks like BL will have to find another baby. 

And finally, Peter. Get fucked, Peter. Seriously. I don't care if you have a rattle as a gift for your daughter or that you're having a fantasy about holding her, or that you are talking to yourself about your horrible life. I still want you to die. So please, do die. ASAP. Thank you.

[Gigi43]

What is going on with Jason/SBu? He had a shirtless scene and smiled the other day, and his talk with Britt today wasn't terrible. 

 

Not sure what to make of Austin. So far he seems like Franco, but without the psychotic baggage. I don't know if I want to watch RoHo being an eccentric woodsy doctor but we'll see where this goes. 

 

Nikolas told no lies when he said Carly doesn't know what she's doing. What are they doing with Ava going along with Carly? She can protect Avery, she's Ava Jerome, she doesn't need Carly.

Britt/Jason is giving me some Robin/Jason vibes and a bit of Elizabeth/Jason vibes (taking care of him after he got shot), but not Sam. Sam may have called him out on crap and showed some spunk, but she (and Sonny) needed him from the start. Sam moved in with him because she was pregnant with Sonny's kid and had no place to go, no income, etc.  She eventually became a PI, but even then getting involved with Lucky was to provoke Jason. Even after Jason "died,' she was fixated on the memory of him during her relationships with other men, and thought she had him back when she and Drew got together. 

Britt's only connection to Sonny and Jason prior to this storyline was about Britt's continued concern for Sonny's nephew, and whatever she may know about her father Faison's actions re: Jason.  Britt is an independent doctor who doesn't need Jason's money or his home and her experience with danger is craziness above what Mob people are used to, as she said. She needs his protection now as a result of being his ally in trying to take down Cyrus after he asked for her help. She has not been a person constantly begging for his attention, unlike Carly and Sam for decades. That may change, now that she's feeling vulnerable in addition to fearful because of her disease diagnosis and the threat from Cyrus. 

I didn't say it was a carbon copy, just that it reminded me of them. Yes, Britt is an independent doctor and she didn't need him "from the start" (though to me that's debatable since they've barely begun as it is so right now is their start and Britt needs him.) Jason is acting the same around her that he did with Sam. Sam was at the time able to stand up to him and also be his ride or die chick, just like Britt is doing now (I know Sam and Britt's motivations are different.) Given Britt's own romantic history (faking a pregnancy - or rather stealing a patient's embryo - to keep Patrick, whatever it was the got her put in jail when she was with Nikolas) I can see her becoming just as clingy as Sam became. I'm going to guess that Jason will be the only one who knows about her diagnosis and she'll need to him to help her just like Robin with her HIV and Sam with her pregnancy.

This is where I am! I was working and had my tv on mute (as usual the past few weeks) so I was quite surprised when I glanced up and saw Roger!! I cannot wait to watch the entire scene later tonight! I have been missing Roger and his energy. I really enjoy him as an actor, and I'm happy he's back. I also hope the resemblance isn't mentioned. They didn't mention it when ME went from being John McBain to Silas Clay so no need to mention it here!

I can't see Jason as grey just because Britt doesn't worship him quite yet (Spinelli was also realistic with Jason and not a sycophant when they first met, that's where the whole "Stone Cold" nickname came from.) Him expressing any regret over his serial murdering ways might mean something IMO if he was going to stop being in the mob and stop killing, but he wouldn't even give that up for his kids' sake, so he's not doing that for Britt's. This also isn't the first time Jason has been written as vulnerable.

SBu/Jason and every writer's insistence on writing him as perfect and every character having to genuflect before him is to blame for why this show has gone down the crapper even more than Sonny and Carly IMO. SBu putting in some effort and doing his job for once (which isn't necessarily something to be applauded since what he's paid to do) doesn't really change that.

Omg, that video made me cry.

Back to GH - that would have at least been a novel delivery. Even if she had been alone in a cabin - that would have been novel. But we have already done birthing-in-the-great-outdoors with kids who are still little - the unseen James, the unseen Scout, and the seen-way-too-much plot point Wyllie. I guess since Baby Lou will also be a key plot point baby we've at least evened up the unseen/seen-all-the-time baby count to 2-2.

Maxie may have wanted to mention her heart transplant when mentioning this was her third child.

Sam is an idiot. I still have a crush on Dante. I'm really kind of liking Jason with Britt. And I'm p.o.'d that Britt has the Huntington's marker and Peter does not.

I cannot stand Sam and today’s show just proved that she’s going to hook up with Dante. Please, please fire her!!!! She s a terrible actress!

Color me surprised-- that Jason admitted he didn't like being a killing machine AND that RoHo showed up as a doctor.

I was waiting for Ava to break out the "identical cousin Denise" wig to impersonate Gladys (maybe next week)

 

And despite the dark lighting and the fake tan-- SBu's steroid induced backne is still visible-- they need to block any future love scenes better.

Nina can stay. Unless we bring back the "Days" actress again (redhead). She was so good. I hated seeing the switch but didn't hate the character until this new Nina. It's just bad and her eyes scare me and bug me at the same time, and I don't even watch those scenes if I'm being honest.

At least Franco came back today!! I guess it's Austin now? Can we just have him be Todd and move on with the story??

I was excited by the prospect of RH being a doctor, since this show is about a hospital, but he really didn’t seem like he knew what he was doing. But since it’s RH, I’m not sure if it was just an acting choice... maybe he’s an agent sent by Frisco/Robert/Anna/Obrecht/literally any of the 10,000,000 people in the small town of Port Charles who are on Team Maxie

The last time I recall that he did a shirtless scene where he seemed genuinely into the woman, was with Becky Herbst for the Liason NOP during which Jake was conceived. And, Jason seemed smitten with Elizabeth when they were seeing each other secretly when Jake was a baby. I still remember the straddle.

I have to admit I thought Liason back in the day were extremely hot. Maybe because Steve and Becky were/are both very attractive people but it really worked for me. I love Kimberly McCoulogh but I wouldn’t ever consider her sexy, more just cute. Even though in the beginning I did really love Jason/Robin I wouldn’t ever call them a hot couple.

I think Nurse "Chloe" will be the sneakered figure we see run down the stairs to Headwound Peter, but I'm assuming we won't know who killed him (fingers crossed) for some time. 

I will be interested to see if BLQ and Maxie's plan will somehow still have a contrived reason to progress, even if Peter really is out of the picture.

RH looked amazing with his buff bod but his abs bones sticking out always grossed me out. LOL!!! Once he was established he (Austin) put his shirt back on in the next scene. He seemed to be playing his usual quirky self but then there was a hint of creepy towards the end. Hopefully, the baby is okay but I wonder how everything else is played out with Peter and Brook Lynn. Also, the scenes with DZ & KM were so embarrassing. I mean they aren’t 20 somethings.

I totally don’t get the Ava exchange. When they first talked about it I thought Ava would dress up as Gladys to throw off Cyrus but she didn’t. If they (Carly) planned to exchange Ava for Spinelli why would Cyrus give two hoots about Ava. So what was the point of Ava and the on location shoot in the parking lot of the GH studios? Doesn’t FV know that cost money?!?

Hey kids, remember me? I have been on the barge mostly for about...the last year and a half except some small scenes sprinkled here and there. Once I heard about Jason and Britt kissing, I decided to check back in.

Did Brason kiss today? ABC cut away less than halfway thru the show as they seem to do whenever there's something I want to see. I don't know why I like them together because I can't stand Jason but SBu seems to almost act when he's with Britt. I guess I'll watch it tomorrow OnDemand after I watch Cruel Summer which is the only show on that's any good IMO.

This is so me. I loathe Jason, I despise him. Cheered like I won the grand lottery when he went into the harbor and cursed like a sailor when they brought him back. But, this is working for me. They have major chemistry. I can't believe I'm saying that with a scene with him in it. But as I've been WFH for the past year plus, I turned it on to watch live.

The stuff with Maxie yesterday was super soapy. "You'll never get my baby, bitch!" Hah, classic. But really, RH is a doctor now? Please don't tell me he's all quirky just like Finn. Who I also despise because every woman he's paired with becomes instantly boring.

Michael/Willow/Chase - kill it with fire.

This Nixon Falls stuff is bad, y'all. Like really really really bad. No wonder I was on the barge if this is what they've been showing.

Good on Maxie for fighting, but dear, if you are going to scald and then club your attacker/kidnapper, you club and keep clubbing until she is unconscious and then you take her phone and call for help. 

I don't believe for one second Sam has ever played softball. How would she even run around the bases in her spike heeled boots? I hope to god they realize that this is not working before it gets going.

So Brason are hiding on Canada Street, Port Charles?  Because there's no way Jason could show up to save the day in less than an hour.

 How can blonde Ava be the decoy for Gladys without a wig?  Doesn't she still have her "Denise" wig?

I think if Austin was supposed to look like Franco, Maxie would have some sort of reaction to that. So I don't think "oh, you look just like Franco" stuff is going to be an issue. I was immediately annoyed by Austin. 

My kingdom for a day without Britt/Jason. I didn't see anything different in SBu's performance when Jason admitted to his so-called regrets. It was the same as every other time Jason is supposed to be seen as super sensitive or caring. And, on que, Britt looked all moony-eyed "My hitman boyfriend is ever so sensitive and feeling." 🙄 I don't even know what she was talking about. Everyone, except for characters who are supposed to be disliked, see Jason as the holy hitman.

Ahhh . . . okay! I couldn't remember when they mentioned it. I thought it was mentioned when he went from Silas to Finn, but I don't know. LOL! I'm just glad to skip the whole "you look like X person who just died or left town." 

No, you were right. They did that at least a couple of times in the early Finn days. "You look so much like this other doctor who worked here!" Finn's character bio at GH Fandom says "multiple times," but I remember two. One of them was Sam.

In the world of chemical reactions, Britt and Jason are potassium chlorate and sugar.  Sam and Dante are polyvinyl alcohol and borax.

I'm not sure Gentle Rustic Doctor Austin is better than Gentle Farmer Franco.

Snerk.

I hope he brought a big can of Deep Woods Off. Walking around shirtless in the woods at dusk can get itchy, fast. And what is up with the front-to-back combover? And the neck gator? The sweater around the waist? This is not a good look.

I’m glad he’s a doctor, but I’m not sure what they’re going for here. At best, I was getting vibes of Linc from Gray’s Anatomy. At worst, he was reminding me of Levi Dunkleman.
