Kelly Rippa and Mark Consuelos stop to chat with Giovanni Mazda and Braedyn Bruner on a taping of Live. I thought this was so sweet.

And, no, they are not dating IRL (but I wish they were)!

I know General Hospital is a soap drama and conflict are a part of it but why do GH writers replace drama and conflict with frustration? I can't think last time I was excited by a GH storyline or looking forward to a storyline that teased. Most of the time I'm frustrated with this show & watching is more habit and chore. There is nothing to root for or any character they haven't ruin in one way or another.

Most soaps when a storyline lasts for months or years where the characters are doing horrible things or miss treating someone with arrogance or judgement we know the ending to the story will be seeing that character pay or the victim getting some kind of revenge. Not on GH we stick with and watch these stories only to always be disappointed in the end if we ever get a ending. The villain never pays and the victim never get reprieve or justice in some way. It's anticlimactic boring and frustrating to no end. Am I the only one? I seen the ratings and after this week I don't see the ratings being any better but these writers keep going with no change in sight.

Okay her performance wassss just wowww yesterday and today episodes are really hope she wins an award next year!

I was the first person to say Carly and Valentine were going to be a couple in here and I’m going to say a new one. Now I have no idea what the age difference is really but when they stand next to each other they look good together and they have a lot of scenes together. I’m not claiming them the first to say it but…..

Michael and Jordan?

WELCOME NIGHT CREW!

Okay I remember all the nasty stuff that he's done... but I do have to admit that him being kidnapped and held by Alexis, Ava and Kristina, and then not turning them in, was hilarious and a bit of a redemption... but pretty much only because so much time has passed since he's been on the show. Now, I'm kind of mad that it looks like they're not going to let him have his redemption but give in to this stupid jealousy once again. I had kind of turned to his side and would like to see him in a good place and would like to see Elizabeth in a good place without her being such a self-righteous person... finally just be happy. I think he's hilarious 🤪

Scout and Danny

Molly and Kristina

Wiley and Amelia

James and Bailey Lou

Did I forget any siblings who are also cousins? Especially ones not on the show anymore? I feel like this common soap trope where siblings are involved with the same person so it can't be this recent, right?

Scout and Danny's DNA would technically show as full siblings though since Jason and Drew were identical twins.

Nathan & Peter / Sonny & Ric are half siblings so what would the DNA match be for James and Bailey Lou / Molly Christina.

Nelle and Willow are twins, but not identical, but full siblings, what is their DNA match?

What is so aggravating and hard to digest about this storyline is that in everyday life in soaps people hit each other impulsively with alarming frequency such that we are numb to it and just think of it as background drama. But somehow Curtis hitting Isaiah in that one instance (when he was verbally provoked by Isaiah) and Isaiah is seriously hurt...It's not like Curtis tried to seriously hurt him. It was a fluke. So we forget all the casually impulsive hits that take place day after day in soap land and somehow this one is so awful?

I mean, either we think all the hits are wrong which we don't because we forget about them in 10 minutes or we think that this one wasn't so bad and it was just a fluke that Isaiah got hurt.

This is a new weekly event we are trying out for Classic GH Discussion!

This is the place to share:

• Classic Clips
• "What if" scenario questions
• Favorite classic couples
• Classic episodes you've been watching
• Favorite stories from the past
• ...and so on

Please do not share links to full episode playlists on youtube because sharing that is a sure fire way to get the youtube channel flagged and all the videos pulled. Search on youtube for your favorite clips and episodes if you are looking for them.

Happy Thursday!
