I finally found the silver lining to the ridiculous Curtis story: at least there is no Willow. #GH

It's gross the way characters who are good people are made to validate the show's biggest A-holes. First it was, "It's OK Sonny hangs people by meat hooks!" Now it's Felicia saying, "It's OK Lucy pimped out her own daughter - she wants to be pimped!" #GH
IIRC, Curtis and Alexis greatly respect each other. Is Curtis actually going to believe Drew's assertion that Alexis would poison his young daughter about him? Because if so, Curtis is an even bigger idiot than we thought. #GH
Imagine for yourself a world in which Ava and Trina become partners in the art gallery which then spawns years of cross-generational and gal-pal adventures surrounding things like forgeries and heists; romance, mystery, suspense, humor, drama and deep friendship included. But instead... #GH
With just precious few exceptions, today's episode is a veritable Who's Who Of Characters The Audience Has Repeatedly Begged To See Less Of. #GH
Damn. Dr O fans can't even enjoy a rare scene featuring her without Frank force-feeding us all yet another supersized serving of Willow. #GH
Seeing Jeanine Pirro trending so high inspires me to wonder: Is she enjoying life under the bus yet?
Oh, hey, while we're on the line... Is Jake officially dead yet? Because if he's not and the writers want us to respect that now Jason wants to put his kid(s) first, maybe it's time they remember he has more than one child. #GH
I thought organizations like the WSB worked overtime to keep agents' identities a secret, to protect agents' lives and missions. So what's Loose-Lips Jack doing telling Loose-Cannon Nina that Joss is now a WSB agent? #GH
Sonny Corinthos is - literally! - the Donald Trump of daytime TV. #GH
It'd be literally impossible to overstate what an asshole Sonny is being to Jason today. How many times has Jason nearly died, been physically harmed and incarcerated and tortured himself, voluntarily left his own kids behind to save Sonny and his family, and Sonny expects more notice? #GH
Since Babe Ruth is trending, I feel almost contractually bound to say that I have a mystery novel I've written in which Babe Ruth is the amateur detective attempting to catch a serial killer targeting women when the Yankees come to town. Commercial Publishers Of Books: If you're listening...
I used to watch more than one soap but no longer do so this is a legit question for those who watch other soaps in addition to General Hospital: Does any other show have a regime that treats its own audience with the relentless contempt that this one does? #GH
Sonny is such an insanely self-absorbed narcissist, Jason's only freshly back from being tortured by the WSB to keep Sonny's grandson out of prison, and Sonny already wants him to do another job. You know which coward never puts his life or freedom on the line for anyone? That would be Sonny. #GH
How often over the years have performers like Rebecca Herbst and Maura West and Rick Hearst, all of whom the audience is vocal about wanting to see more, received smaller paychecks in favor of Frank funneling screentime to actors/characters the audience is vocal about wanting less or even gone? #GH
What year did you start watching? For me, it was 1979, making it 47 years. However many years you've been watching, we all deserve better than this. #GH
Dear Frank: If you want to have the show shut out of the Best Actress category for the Emmys again next year, just keep funneling the whole show to your female pet. Now that your male pet is back chewing up the show, maybe next year there will be no Best Actor noms either. #GH
I'm sure there are greater weenies in the world, but damn if Rand Paul doesn't compete hard.
When I posted this based on the promo, it was approximately eight a.m. Less than eight hours later, they executed exactly the storyline that I predicted. What idiots. This show doesn't deserve whatever audience it has left. #GH
Lauren Baratz-Logsted@laurenbl.bsky.social · last wk.I'm calling it now: these beyond-idiotic storytellers, at Frank's behest, have Willow and Drew form an unholy alliance to keep each other's secrets, thereby meaning that the audience will never, ever, *ever* escape the tyranny of Frank's Pets, who have eaten a once-great show. #GH
Dear Frank: Literally no one who watches wants this. #GH
It simply should not feel this miserable, watching a show a person once loved and enjoyed so much. #GH
Today it is Crazy Eyes X 2, which will only be fun for, oh, about 5 minutes. Good Lord, please deliver us from this evil. Kill them both off. #GH
I feel that hating Anthropic and OpenAI and all the other techno-scavengers is the one thing decent people everywhere should be able to agree upon.

They instantly recast the unessential character of Ethan but wrote off the entire Spixie family with one keystroke rather than recast Maxie, who's actually a legacy character? How many hires in the last few years have been Frank's Friends, taking work from the actors we love? #GH
What did Nina think, that Drew might still be alive after her one-hour break to go get Brennan rather than calling 911? Some days, the stupid in the current writing is off the charts. And who is there to care about? At this point, I'd like Drew, Nina, Willow and Jack to all die for good. #GH
It'd be funny if NuScout took out Willow and I mean, like, immediately. Just kill her for torturing your dad, kid, and finally put the audience out of our misery - teenage girls on trial for murder is a very soapy thing! #GH
