I have a feeling they like to pretend lung cancer story never happened so Ric can stay good guy to Molly lol While she was sick (and Alexis/Ric were married), he had s*x w/ Sam in full view in their living room... then tried to steal custody of Molly, using Alexis' medical pot use against her 🤦‍♀️ #GH

I mean, I guess the one positive of a Snarly reunion (they're called that, right? haha) is that I won't have to watch them infest scenes with everyone else 😆😆 To me Robert/Anna were always endgame, but with him gone I could get behind a Vanna endgame... tho I'd like to see them earn it #GH

Rita Marshall @ritamarshall.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
Well anything's gotta be better than Valentin and Carly 😆 To me the problem is that anytime we get a Vanna scene the actors are still playing it like nothing ever ended between the characters Do I think it's ever been a healthy relationship? No... But I'd be open to therapy fixing all that lol #GH

Rita Marshall @ritamarshall.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
Always Robert The Duke stuff has aged horribly in a very ick way lol Vanna is day 1 problematic - and as Anna mentioned today, involved some unhealthy obsession for Valentin - BUT I'd absolutely take them now 😆 #GH

Every now and then I wonder when/if they'll remember Alexis' osteoporosis lol. And since they never do I just assumed it'd gone the way of Liz's eye mites 😂🤦‍♀️ Tho tbh the scene had a very mandated PSA vibe, so that's prob all it was... plus an ABC synergy plug for Abbott's return tonight lol #GH

IRL when you see establishments stay in business for yrs/decades and they're always empty it's pretty much known (in any community) that they're typically a money laundering operation for criminal activity 😂🤣 #GH

Wonder what the timeline was between explosion and Cullum arriving... I'll admit, I lost interest immediately lol. Sidwell playing villain mastermind is what stuck w/ me Tho they never write plot points knowing where they're going, so maybe that's who they were blaming at time they wrote it 🤣🤣 #GH
010
Rita Marshall @ritamarshall.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
I bailed early on that storyline lol, so I could be wrong, but I don't remember Cullum even being in the picture yet... was his involvement a rewrite? Before I started skipping them, Sidwell was the only one responsible and he was owning it... of course, it would also track if they'd changed it 😆🙄

Rita Marshall @ritamarshall.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
Unfortunately, the issue isn't them remembering she's smart. It's that they see Tracy pushing back against Sonny as "conflict" - but with him being in the right Tho unless you're drinking the Kool-Aid, you know Tracy is right. They'll just never give her the win bc thugSonny ALWAYS wins lol 🙄 #GH
031
Rita Marshall @ritamarshall.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
Except it'd be in-character for Tracy to be ruthless in her actions. She's very much a vigilante justice type and will often choose doing the wrong thing for the bigger right Letting Sonny go down for the 1 crime he didn't commit would be entirely in Tracy's wheelhouse... and I'd cheer it lol #GH

Rita Marshall @ritamarshall.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
To me it's one of those weird ones where it's hard to say RIP when those abusive and predatory behaviors are kinda the only things I associate with him now 🤷‍♀️ And we can only imagine just how bad his behavior on set must've been if those are the steps they had to take... in the 90s/00s 😬
000
Rita Marshall @ritamarshall.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
Is it weird that nobody's talking about how he groomed and married a teenage girl when they were both on Days... and also needed protective orders against him from female co-stars bc of his abusive and violent behavior? 🤷‍♀️

Rita Marshall @ritamarshall.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
Wait, I thought Sidwell DID bomb Sonny's penthouse that temp-hurt Michael?! ...did they rewrite it as being Cullum? Bc they absolutely had Sidwell all mustache twirling after that bombing lol They're all awful tho and can all rot (wherever lol) for all it matters. This isn't real story anymore #GH

Jason Q would've been aware of Serena's birth (to his ex-stepmother lol), but Jason Morgan was already in full thug mode when Serena was a young child back in Port Charles (on PC)... the shows existed in same universe w/ constant crossovers. Alan and Monica def knew and interacted w/ Serena #GH

I'm actually surprised Kin never threw anything like that in. That's exactly the type of ad-lib comment he'd make 😂
010
Rita Marshall @ritamarshall.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
Right. Tho Jason prob wouldn't have any memories of her anyway, considering Monica basically adopted him as a baby But Scotty would. And in all their encounters over the decades nobody ever thought to write that in... which would've been a very Scotty thing to remark, esp during his thug moments 😆
100
Rita Marshall @ritamarshall.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
Feel like I've read (and forgot lol) about that, but must've missed window of seeing it. And ya, that would be a closer connection... except that they've never once called it out in the decades since lol... very on brand 😆🙄 Tho TBF they rarely reference Jason as anything other than Monica's son
110
Rita Marshall @ritamarshall.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
It took me a minute on this one, and it's not even the connection you mentioned lol Scotty and Monica both thought of Gail Baldwin as their honorary/adopted mom But considering they didn't even bring Scotty back for Monica's funeral... I'm not sure how much they care/remember that connection 🙄 #GH

Loved me some Frisco back in the day lol... til I rewatched those eras. Dude was immature deadbeat even when he was there! 😂 And that's where narrative of Felicia as deadbeat falls flat. She was hands-on single mom (and we saw it!) for most of their childhoods, then TPTB trashed her character 😒 #GH

If Tracy were written smart and in-character: Obvs she knows it's setup, says nothing, and joyfully watches him go down 😂 And if it were a REAL soap (instead of bad fanfic of a few deplorables lol) she'd get big speech naming his many crimes... then he'd fall to his death or get carted off 🤣🤣🔥 #GH

Rita Marshall @ritamarshall.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
Lucky was in his circle as teen. Sonny brought violence into the Spencer house, got them all shot up at when Lulu was a baby - think both Laura killed at least one of the attackers lol This Laura worshiping Sonny narrative is total 💩. She justifiably HATED him for yrs for what he did to her family

Rita Marshall @ritamarshall.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
I think him supporting Gio financially before knowing he was grandson was form of grooming... but he tends to only pull non-fam into the business lol Gio is super dumb and Sonny's a narcissist. Of course he expects to be adored and fawned over by everyone... and the show's narrative pushes it 😂 #GH

Rita Marshall @ritamarshall.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
Really tried lol. But even the vets' scenes became unwatchable... and wtf is up w/ all that country music?? Your posts about that make me cackle bc seriously, it's unhinged 🤣🤣 I'm down now to only limited scenes on #GH. Bc ya, it's mostly infuriating AND bad... tho different than TemuDays bad 😆
010
Rita Marshall @ritamarshall.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
Did they bring up the fact that Sonny groomed Stone? ...and Robin, and Jason, and Lucky, and Brenda, and Emily, and of course Karen. Bc that's who Sonny was in the 90s. A violent thug and adult predator surrounded by vulnerable teenagers, and either abused them or put them in the line of fire 🙄 #GH

That's fair. Enjoy what you can... OMG was it really all the way back in 2013??? 😂🤣🤣 I've taken loooong breaks (Marlena's possession and Ron's writing were main catalysts lol)... Checked back in for John's death, then partial-lingered for a bit. But oof, had to walk away. The show is ROUGH now 😆😬

Rita Marshall @ritamarshall.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
Tracy is ALWAYS right. And has been for almost 50yrs. That's her Cassandra curse lol But it's more about being right in bigger picture. She reads people quickly, then locks in on exacting her own form of justice... happily crossing whatever necessary lines to achieve it 😂 Which is why she's 👑 #GH

Rita Marshall @ritamarshall.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
Again??? Wasn't that a storyline a few yrs ago? 😂 I stopped watching maybe 6months ago - after a brief dip back in and many prior permanent breaks lol - but I definitely feel like they already did a pot-laced donut thing before, right?? ...unless maybe a Horton has a new edibles business? 🤣🤣

Rita Marshall @ritamarshall.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
Over the yrs I've encouraged many actor friends and colleagues to affirm their boundaries. Bc ultimately, it's ALL just pretend - just clever movie magic to make it all seem real And the industry has always been exploitive of women. So at 25 you might not care, but as a mom in your 40s, you might
000
Rita Marshall @ritamarshall.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
That was my takeaway too... She realized her kids were getting old enough to be aware of it and it didn't mesh w/ her family life. It was reasonable boundary On OLTL they always had her parading in her underwear, I'm sure that influenced her current pov... but then show pushed "modesty" narrative 🙄
010
Rita Marshall @ritamarshall.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Whether it's conscious choice or unconscious bias, they seem to punish ANY woman on the show if they're not size-0... and then have no problem dressing them nicely again when/if they drop a few pounds 😒 AS made one comment once about modesty (bc of her kids) and then that became the narrative 🙄 #GH
120
Rita Marshall @ritamarshall.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Only religious practice I'm aware of is a woman covering her shoulders in a temple, even if she's not religious. And in some denominations it's considered more respectful to wear a skirt or dress But if you're religious enough to cover your arms, you'd never show that much skin lol, even in summer
000
Rita Marshall @ritamarshall.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Ya. There's no scenario where Jordan ever should've gotten back with Curtis after how he ended their marriage. He treated her like garbage Trina's blind loyalty makes her look dumb. And I simply reject the premise of this narrative... where's Taggart? lol #GH
161
Rita Marshall @ritamarshall.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Yes, that. Totally possible he's passing buck bc he's known Chris since he was a kid... but not impossible he got "cut budget/make huge changes or you're fired" directive from ABC The mass of newbie hires and story pivots could be Frank's strong narcissist vibes meets malicious compliance lol 🤷‍♀️ #GH
020
Rita Marshall @ritamarshall.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
I have more of an issue w/ how they're framing this narrative to make it seem like Curtis/Trina/Jordan are too dumb to see it's a frame up than I do w/ Sonny being framed lol... I see their agenda and I just can't anymore w/ this garbage Sonny not being guilty here does not make him innocent #GH
130
Rita Marshall @ritamarshall.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
I can't stand what this narrative does to Trina, or Jordan, or even Curtis - I see what they've been doing w/ him and ya 🙄 BUT... Sidwell did blow up Sonny's apt and seriously injure his stolen son. And they're known criminal rivals. So it's not exactly like Sonny's a bad suspect for this lol #GH

Rita Marshall @ritamarshall.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
💯 Sadly they dgaf what we think - not about Sonny or Carly, not about their spawn, not about anything - incl year+ ratings downward freefall. Half the time they just troll us 🙄 CMc made an interesting comment in his exit interview about what Frank told him - could be BS, could be bigger story 🤔
110
Rita Marshall @ritamarshall.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Oh Honey, you just landed on everything all at once there! 💯 😆🤦‍♀️ Tho I don't think the Sonny-lovers are actually the majority. If they were, Frank & co wouldn't keep trying to reinvent ways to glorify him and justify his actions... you don't need to keep selling things already accepted as truth #GH
110
Rita Marshall @ritamarshall.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Exactly. He can rot at the bottom of an unmarked pit for all I care 😆 And if I didn't know MB just signed a fresh contract, I'd be celebrating. It would be like Capone going down for tax evasion lol. Don't care how they get rid of him, or if he's guilty. Sonny being gone is 30yrs past due #GH

😂🤦‍♀️ He's the worst lol

Rita Marshall @ritamarshall.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
Considering she's mom of 3 young kids, I'd assume she prob wears A LOT of leggings and sneakers lol But if she were trying to maintain religious modesty, that skirt would not pass the test. It wouldn't even pass my HS uniform's length mandate lol - tho it's where we'd push those boundaries to 🤣🤣
100
Rita Marshall @ritamarshall.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
For all the crimes we know Sonny has committed and never even been questioned about, there's no reason at all to believe he'd been setup... he's done way worse lol Actually, them being alive and their bodies being found is the only tip off that *maybe* it might not have been him 🤣🤣 #GH

Rita Marshall @ritamarshall.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
Welcome back! And look at BLQ all dressed for summer... as we hit October 😂 But it absolutely confirms my theory about her outfits being about the show body shaming her, and nothing to do w/ AS wanting to dress modestly. They are so d*mn transparent 😒 #GH

Btw one of my close friends is a dentist in LA, if your daughter ever needs one there. He takes most of the guild insurances too, and he's a great dentist
000
Rita Marshall @ritamarshall.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
Ooh, if you're having tooth pain, call the dentist's office right away! They'll advise you. It's better safe than sorry, in case there's nerve damage. It's also good to loop them in early, when it's not total emergency, puts them on standby Otherwise you're good. Hang in! The mouth heals quickly 🙂
000
Rita Marshall @ritamarshall.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
Oh no! So sorry. Hope you're ok! As long as it's not your teeth it shouldn't be too bad... as my dentist dad would instruct, ice and Advil (since it's an anti-inflammatory) If the swelling doesn't start to go down in a few days, talk to your doctor or dentist 🫶

Rita Marshall @ritamarshall.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
Ironically it's this forced false narrative writing that gives me more grace w/ these characters. Bc it's more like, what nonsense are they pushing now? Instead of, oh Ava is just awful lol And as insufferable as this 💩 is to watch, it's gotta be worse on the actors trying to make this 💩 work 😆 #GH
040
Rita Marshall @ritamarshall.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
Ya. That would track. I doubt they'd write it lol. But it's a lot more plausible than trying to sell this version of Drew as the real Drew 🙄😆
100
Rita Marshall @ritamarshall.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
Do you mean that he's an imposterDrew or that Sam slept with someone else entirely? lol Tho agreed, in the bigger picture this iteration of Drew is not her "real" dad. He's like a whole other character. So at best maybe it's brainwashing, or brain damage 😂🤣 #GH
