Chairperson Meow May 30, 2016 Share May 30, 2016 If Baby Edward is TeCa's RL baby, she makes some goregous babies. I wouldn't mind if he stayed on for a bit. He's the cutest. Maybe the bracelet is just something the actual baby likes so they keep it on him. Storyline wise he is Carrrlos's kid. I can see Carlos's son liking a good accessory. Or maybe Tracy just dressed him up. I've been pretending it's Hermes and she made Eduardo stylish. She gave him some baby swag, if you will. Sigh. An awesome story we will never see is Carlos and Tracy raising that baby. Because JVP and JE would be gold. 7 Link to comment
BubblingKettle May 30, 2016 Share May 30, 2016 1 hour ago, Bringonthedrama said: The other moment that bugged me was when Robin greeted Jason and Sam. I was hoping for Sam to take a moment to really, genuinely thank Robin for saving Jason's life, and sacrificing so much time with Emma as a result (mentioning Patrick would be awkward). We know (from Helena's deathbed scene) that Sam *knows* Robin was responsible for bringing Jason back to life. Instead, Robin barely gets out that she and Emma showed up to surprise Anna, and Sam goes running off to say hi to Emma like she's a miniature girlfriend who's been out of town instead of the kid who almost became her stepdaughter because Robin was a prisoner for saving Sam's husband's life. I mean seriously, Robin had the grace (when she returned) to thank Sam for being so great to Emma. Have some class, Sam! Maybe Sam has some jealousy/discomfort over Jason and Robin's history-connection? I don't know what else to think. That scene was so odd. I said (to no one else in the room), "What, no hugs?" Robin was doling out hugs to everyone else, and I think Sam did some hugging too....but they just tossed some stiff hellos to each other at two arms' lengths. Injection of reality: Maybe word got around about Sam's bitchy treatment of the red carpet reporter, and the partygoers gossiped about Sam being in "one of her moods tonight" and decided to keep a safe distance. 1 Link to comment

HeatLifer May 30, 2016 Share May 30, 2016 I don't think there was anything wrong with the way Sam and Robin said hello, tbh. They actually looked really smiley and happy to see each other. Then Sam had to leave bc the writers obviously wanted Jason and Robin to have that moment together about his memories. The focus of that scene was NOT Sam leaving because of some thoughts or feelings about JnR or anything else. She left because the scene wasn't about her and they needed a reason for her to go off to the side. Would it have been nice to let Sam acknowledge to Robin that she's grateful she saved Jason? Yes. I wanted that back in December. It could have happened in the same moment Robin thanked her. But you can add this to my miles-long list of this show's failures. 11 Link to comment

Why God And who gives a fuck about this new Nurse Amy, why are they making her a showcase performer when she's been around about 90 seconds I think the actress was on Broadway, so that's probably why. Her entire "story" has been gossip, flirting with the male staff, and wanting to be featured in the Nurses Ball. I literally can't say Nurse's Ball without saying "Nurses! Welcome to the Nurse's Ball!" I hate my brain sometimes. 3 Link to comment
jsbt May 30, 2016 Share May 30, 2016 (edited) I know, I know, I'm days behind but this is the worst Magic Milo number of all. Milo's dead eyes? Showing how many handstands Vanilla can do? A martial arts demonstration with nunchucks?! I literally screamed 'what!' at the TV when Curtis pulled that shit out then, like, bowed to his invisible sensei. And then they didn't even have Chad! I will reluctantly say I thought Jake's number was sweet and the little kid they got is kind of winning in the role. It still feels right to me for Jake to be alive and there. But they need to give him darker material digging into what happened to him as opposed to just being the cute little boy, and I dunno if he can handle it any better than James Nigbor. The really big problem both with that idea and this musical number, naturally, was Franco, who had no business being there/on Earth despite Howarth's chemistry with the children as usual. Also, I don't know whose fucking cousin or nephew wrote that random song or who that dude was with the acoustic guitar. I mean, it worked, but it always cracks me up when cheap-ass Frank breaks out these random soft alt-rock songs for montages from the GH music bank, usually by unsigned nobody artists, and then goes so far as to have people sing them during his musical events on his soaps so he can save his pennies on buying another track. They're always presented like, 'of course you've heard this random song from this Goo-Goo Dolls ripoff before, what are you talking about? Enjoy Jake Webber singing Alt-Rock Song Brand X!" Oh, and the thing about the whole opening rap - I mean, I thought the lyrics were mostly sweet if goofy because the focus for most of these NB numbers since their return has been to nod and honor GH's long history. So bringing up Audrey, Steve, Tania, etc. was sweet, I felt. The problem was giving all that material to randos like fuckin' Amy Mark II, then making everyone rap it in one of the most mortifying displays in Nurses Ball history. More and more Frank seems to be trying to turn the Ball into his idea of edgy - sexy club music, people writhing around in strobes - and more and more it comes off like a middle-aged gay man's idea of high-end production on a K-Mart budget. It's embarrassing watching a lot of the soap stars try to fit into that mold, especially given Frank's questionable taste and nil finances. More dated commentary as it happens!

jsbt May 30, 2016 Share May 30, 2016 (edited) Oh God! And I forgot to mention them stomping around and clapping like dinosaurs! What was that?! Look, I have a lot of fondness for the Nurses Ball in all its cheesy-ass glory and I always will, I am so glad it's back and I do enjoy it on some level every year despite the horrors we endure. But my enjoyment of the often-painful numbers hinges upon the actual story content of the existing overall show before and during the Ball. When GH is showcasing Franco, etc. daily I have a lot less goodwill for the really bad parts. At least Ava and Carly taking off their earrings and heels was the most in-character Carly's been in at least a year or two. I will never forget the epic throwdown Jennifer Bransford's Carly and Sam put each other through, and Maryland girl Laura Wright has that side to her too, they just don't use it enough.

I just never ever buy Milo's performance because his body is not stripper perfect and his eyes are dead and his face is a 2. If you're going to hump a stage on my TV, you're getting the full critique. I'm mentally blocking out the whole martial arts routine from Curtis because I want him to stay hot.

jsbt May 31, 2016 Share May 31, 2016 I get the feeling Frank thinks this Amy chick is the second coming of Kathy Brier from OLTL, right down to the Broadway roots. Brier came on way too strong way too early too, before they changed writers and pulled her back. Frank has always had a deep love for theater people, which, fine, soaps are built on NY theater people - but not at the expense of what might help the show in deeply dire straits. 5 Link to comment

Sonny spending the ENTIRE episode being a hateful, cowardly, self-absorbed bag of dicks with NO awareness whatsoever while Ava begs and pleads for her child? The male romantic lead of the show.
