Love the show. And yes, handsome Joshua Morrow has a twin! My son looks like him, flashy smile & all.

Well I know exactly why I don’t like Chelsea– the character came onto the scene as a two bit day player might to cause trouble for Billy and Victoria– and somehow in a year’s time when to being front and center to almost ever major story line since then- while legacy characters or at least characters that have more history are left to languish in back burner status for years

And you want to talked about mothers forgetting their kids– how about Victoria- she hasn’t mentioned Reed in so long- no wonder JT got custody– it like her first born doesn’t count since she has “Johnny and Kate”— Of course this is the writers fault because in the past they did make an attempt to include Reed in the conversation– but that was a long time ago– so lets hope the new writers remember Vicky’s other son–and bring JT, Mac Reed and the baby Mac had that no one ever said whether it was a boy or a girl

Hey Celia,
As much as they have hurt each other over the years, there of course has also
been tons of happy times for Nick and Sharon, and created a family together,
too, and neither of them seem right with anyone else. So I hope they get back
together. Somehow. With the baby reveal coming, not sure how that will happen,
though!
The Chelsea and Johnny thing in my opinion is so bizarre! But I guess Chelsea
was written to be the perfect adoptive parent’s dream, with never a worry that
the birth mom will interfere, or threaten to try to get her child back! Chelsea was
still a sketchy character back then and this I think was the start to her becoming
redeemable, and to show she has feelings, etc etc. But she never has scenes
where she even thinks about Johnny!

Hi, Nanci and Mary SF,
Exactly….bizarre is the right word, here, Nanci.
I don’t exactly know what these writers are thinking. No, wait; I do know. ‘They’ expect us to forget that Chelsea is Johnny’s bio mother, just as Chelsea forgot this colossal fact.
Even mothers that give their babies up for adoption never forget….and most re-connect.
The writers depict Chelsea as the coldest and most egocentric excuse for a woman ever. Where is the softness; the virtual feelings of longing so intrinsic to a woman/mother? How can she love one son over the other? Makes no sense. Wake up and get your son back, Chelsea. At least, get visitation rights.
It isn’t fair for Connor or Johnny growing up not sharing their lives at all…have some play-dates, or something.
Mary—-LOL…speaking of forgetfulness? I sometimes forget about Reed….TPTB’s fault. Never is he mentioned. At least have some scenes where Victoria communicates with her son, on the phone or FACETIME? LOL.
And, since you mentioned Mac….you cannot believe how much I want her back. But, the original—–Ashley Bashioum. I loved her sonmuch….and, she connected with both JT and Billy ( David Tom).
I don’t know, Mary….maybe because I was so young myself; a teen, where young love made a lasting impression/impact on me?
But, sometimes I am overwhelmed with nostalgia, and wish I could turn back time to “once upon a time” in Genoa City.

Oh Celia, don’t get me started on how great looking JM has become. When he was younger he didn’t do much for me. But now, he is simply breathtaking. And all his hair styles mostly work for him, which is rare. And I agree about the yuck factor of this Newman inbreeding. You really have to suspend your disbelief, don’t you?

@Soaphound.
Hiya, Soaphound,
Agreed, Joshua’s looks are perfect. And, as Kay said, his acting could reach the rafters with the right storyline.
He seems to be a filler right now….just drifting like Ashley.
Another point that bothers me about the way the writers are writing Nick is this hollow feeling he projects about Christian. And, so he should!! But, he never talks about Sage.
I do understand the ‘what ifs’, ‘ wonder who he’d look like’, and the feelings of loss. I also understand that being close to ‘Sully’ resuscitated the feelings ; but when one thinks of his dead child, his wife and the mother of said child should resurface contemporaneously, in my opinion.
I think Nick’s memories of Christian are introduced for the sole purpose to herald the the truth about the baby.
TPTB want the focus on the discovery. Perhaps this is the storyline for Nick…..finally!!

We go together ba ba ba dabba ding dong! I agree, Nick and Sharon. Never liked HELLshea! I would be okay if she left johnny with Vicky BUT Chelsea NEVER visits him or asks about him! And yes, Josh has gone from a 6 or 7 to a 9! Handsome and filled with personality!

@Timmm.
LOL….Don’t forget ‘The Edsels’ ” RAMA LAMA DING DONG… HaHa.
I have always had a ‘thing’ for Nick. But, I am not sure, at what point or whom/what, threw Shaton over the edge. The Grace affair?
The timbre of their relation took a different direction after that.

That’s all? It’s not that’s all. Sharon’s actions have changed the facade of everyone’s life.
The discovery will destroy Dylan!!!! How is that not a big deal? Nick has been suffering for months, albeit Christian is not really his.
But, he doesn’t know that! To him, the loss translates to real pain.
I love Sharon, too. But, what she did is criminal. We just can’t toss it and say, “Oh, well”!!
Sharon should not get a pass. The only way she could is if she is still sick….that is, mentally not capable of rational thought.
I hope Sharon’s mental issues will be treated with kid gloves this time around. Don’t just lock her up and create more useless drama for her.
And, if Sharon ends up in that institution again, with Patty there? Well, that will be a disaster; asking for trouble.
And, I am so sick of that same old song.

I agree Sharon has always been treated so unfairly, she has done many bad things but usually because she was backed into a corner. Think about it she was raped gave up her baby found her child to only lose her not only her then her Nick cheats on her with Phyllis and has summer she gets pregnant with Faith Adam takes the baby tells her she died gives her baby to Ashley she gets taken advantage of by Adam and Victor who then decides to hate her Nikki always hated her thought she was not good enough for her son like she should talk Victor hires cassys twin that she did not know she had to drive her crazy then some doctor who hates nick targets her and there you have the sully story and no one ever gives her a break I love Sharon she is a great actress and the character deserves some happiness bring back MM as adam put them together they were great

I so agree with you Iakovos 100%.

That should read: kudos, Patrick…
And, I agree about Victoria. But, I have reservations about your estimation of Nick. Yes, you are right by defining him as being laid-back. But, standing up to his father, does take a stiff backbone. I guess it depends on how one looks at it.
Nick has come a long way ….he got out of his father’s brainwashing, his tyranny. Can we agree with that?? LOL
I think Nick does have a lot of growing up to do when it comes to dealing with women, though. That’s where the weakness of which you speak lies. Later.

In order to critique a show…one must first watch the show. Pretty straightforward order of operations.

@Dylan.
Well put, Dylan. I love Patrick’s style of putting his point across.
I have given up trying to instill what you just said into certain minds. It’s futile, as the concept simply isn’t grasped.
The point of these settings is to give opinions—good or bad—agree or not agree.
As you say, we must watch the show in order to give an opinion ( critique).
Kusos, Patrick!!!!

Wow, Kathie!!!!!! You are waking up dormant facts, here. How clever are you?? I love this!!
It makes so much sense. So, ‘Adam’ was Gabe all along? Chloe incinerated Gabe?
Yes, where has Adam been? Some kind of prison? Dungeon?
Sage knew? What a shock this could be, if it goes that way.
I just wonder if Chloe has Gabe somewhere, though. If both Gabe and Adam are alive? Woah!!!! Picture that!!! And, they both show up to town at the same time? LOL.

Exactly my thoughts, Kathie. Really hoping it plays out with my all time fave, the wildly talented MM.

Adam=Michael Muhney=ratings through the roof!

Ashley needs a man any man

Tina, Ashley and Phyllis was a joke??

Exactly- I too am hoping the new writers will write a real romance story– I am so sick of hook ups, when the sex comes first– and then the relationship– if you want to call it that is an afterthought— I know a real epic love story takes time to write, but honestly what passes for “love” on the soaps today, is little more than lust run amuck– got nothing against lust in the right doses and stories, but geez soaps bread and butter were always romance stories– can’t we get back to that, and leave the sordid sleazy bed hopping between relatives behind us– fingers crossed we will get our wish

Ahhh, Dylan…..I have been singing this song forever. The fact is all soaps share this….as I said, All In The Family.
I think that I and my sisters, are the odd birds of our generation to feel this way…..’sleeping around’ indiscriminately is a no-no. ….no ifs, buts about it. Respecting one’s body means something to some of us…but it has become passe’.
My younger sister is a freshman in College….I hope she keeps her head on straight.
However, I do think that we hear about more today because women ‘burned’ their bras….you know; what’s good for the goose? Women did not, I don’t think, talk about their indiscretions as freely as today because they would have been shunned.
Today, if a girls of 18 is a virgin, she’s actually scorned.
But, the mixing of fluids with fathers-in-law; mothers-in-law….sharing one’s brother’s wife and vice versa is a disgusting fact on soaps, for me; no matter which way we turn it.
My 20-year old brother moved in with his ‘new girlfriend’ ( off campus) two weeks after meeting. So, there you go.
Supposedly, they are just ‘roomies’. LOL. But, it is what it is. C’est la vie aujourd’hui.

And, Stitch also slept with Victoria, abby’s sister. I wonder if they compare notes?
