. Mostly TV live tweets (you've been warned!).
Those people, and several in the comments, seem to have NO idea that Gosling is a blatant musical theater kid who was in the Mickey Mouse Club. He's been training for this his whole life.
Funny that people were like “no way does Gosling agree to perform I’m Just Ken at the Oscars” and then not only does he do it, he does it as part of one of the best song performances at the ceremony in years
Lucy talking to Sasha about her miscarriages and raising Serena is the best part of this episode. Lynn Herring is a treasure and we need to see her more often.

Bailey Bass is officially my favorite version of Claudia across all the media. Even the books. She killed this. Sometimes literally.

Forget the Blunder From Down Under suing ABC, can we sue
#GH
on behalf of Sofia Mattson for collective emotional distress? I just feel awful knowing she just had a baby and has to play these scenes.
If Michael and Willow get involved in the Ice Princess story where Lucky or Lulu should be, someone might have to restrain me from breaking my television.
#GH
Nicholas Chavez can outact soap vets twice his age just sitting on a staircase and talking. This kid’s such a gem. Hope he goes on to great things.
#GH
Britt calling out Carly for “gifting Jason back to me” is pretty great. I am so glad the writers finally addressed Carly’s decades-long pattern of doing this to women in Jason’s life.
#GH
Jon Lindstrom has been terrifying us as Ryan Chamberlain off and on since 1992. Not to age us both, but I was a freshman in high school. 😂Thirty years later, Ryan is chillingly iconic. One of the most memorable villains on TV—who the mainstream media will never give his due.
#GH
Amanda Setton and Kirsten Storms are both so good with the baby playing Weezy. And with each other. Oh, my heart. Brook Lynn and Maxie's friendship was truly the best part of this whole storyline.
#GH
Another Jeff Webber mention. Y'all better not just be trolling us,
#GH
. Cast him right quick and let Elizabeth unleash 25 years of pent-up anger at him. I want the walls to shake. I want Becky Herbst's Emmy reel.
Amanda Setton and JPS are doing a beautiful job. But what annoys me here is that Valentin and Anna could’ve HELPED. Maxie and BLQ know this. But the writers have made everyone stupid in service of Peter.
#GH
Trina is so beautiful and so pure. I adore her. She goes to the mat for the people she loves. And her and Ava's relationship continues to hearten me. Can you imagine just starting out, acting across from Maura West, and Brook Kerr, and *nailing it*? Bravo, Sydney Mikayla.
#GH
Can we start a support group for Sonny haters who like Sina? 😂I don't know what to do with myself. Maurice Benard and Cynthia Watros are working magic here.
#GH
The first soap tweet I see this morning is people arguing that Jane Elliot should dye her hair and that is so far beyond wrong that I am beside myself. She looks phenomenal with that luxurious silver-gray hair. I have never been more queer for Tracy than in this era. 😍🔥
#GH
I am highly amused by the amount of people who think GH just lost a master thespian. I'm not saying he was *bad*, but the role of Jason Morgan doesn't exactly require a stretch. Oh, no, the writers will have less blank space in their scripts where his lines aren't! 😂
Uh. I haven't watched SUPERNATURAL in years, but this is the Dark Moment in a romance. Text. Book. Script, staging, music...they just broke up and we have no idea if they'll get back together.
Victor Newman, 80-something years old and poisoned and he will still be like “if you stab me, you better mean it.” 🤣
This character has never had any fucks to give. He’s been in a fuck deficit since 1985. lol.
#YR
Heartbroken about Billy Miller all over again, and by how all the misinformation may have forced his mother to address his cause of death. No one should have to do that. And for those of us who struggle with mental health — let's try and be as kind to ourselves as we can. ❤️
Michael hitting Scotty was such a punk-ass move. Was that supposed to be empowering and manly? Because I just thought he was a little boy out of his league.
#GH
Things we could see besides Carly’s umpteenth day of Emotions:
-where Liz’s wedding ring is today.
-what happened to Curtis’s divorce papers.
-if Valentin’s okay in the trunk.
-Sam actually talking to Drew about this offscreen triangle.
-Trina giving her “friends”what-for.
#GH
I heart Ned and Olivia as the core marrieds of the Quartermaine family. No, they're not Edward and Lila or Alan and Monica, but they have something of their own that works for the 21st century version of
#GH
. Also, I love WK and Lisa LoC.
The compassion in Nina's expression as she offered to drive Sonny wherever he wanted to go was lovely. Cynthia Watros is such a wonderful actress. She can do so much even when she's reining it in.
#GH
I didn’t know Maxie was on hugging terms with Drew either, but you know what…? Go on and hug that man, Maxie. He’s tall, he has a nice chest, and you deserve all the hugs.
#GH
It really feels petty at this point. Like
#GH
is punishing us for hating Peter by making him more rich and powerful than the Cassadines, impossible to kill, etc.
Joss to Michael and Willow: "I can't believe Sonny did this."
Me to my TV: "That's because you're too young to remember Sonny's extended Ho Phase."
😂
#GH
I think
#GH
was underestimating how much we're already rooting for Nina simply because she's not the Unholy Trinity. They didn't have to go this hard to make her sympathetic. lol. She's not Carly? Or Willow? We're good here! 😂
#FreeNina
.
I could watch Genie Francis and Marcus Coloma all day. I mean, they'd probably find that incredibly creepy, but I'd still do it. These Laura and Nikolas scenes are so good.
#GH
Ava to Nikolas: "Spencer has witnessed your plots and schemes his entire life, my darling—and if you want to punish him for learning the behavior that you've modeled, please don't do it on my account."
Damn. What a fantastic line. That is all of this in a nutshell.
#GH
I'm not sure a certain subset of the soap viewing audience gets just *why* GH's Spencer and Trina having sex is important. Because I see a lot of dismissiveness. People just ignoring that it aired. It's clear that these are mostly folks who've always seen themselves represented.
This is devastating. RIP, Sonya Eddy. A force to be reckoned with and a voice like an angel. Such a loss. For daytime, for her friends and family, and for us.
#GH

Daytime soap operas are a tiny, fragile, ecosystem. Largely unsupported by the rest of the industry despite having always been a training ground for primetime, film and theatre. Especially New York theatre.
It's amazing how I was actually excited about Jason and Britt once and now I'm screaming for him to stay away from her. He doesn't deserve her! She's too fun for him. And Britt needs someone emotionally available.
#GH
Willow thinks dumping Chase the minute he takes five steps on his own is the right thing to do? She is so, so, unlikable. And the show thinks she’s the noble root-for? Yeah, y’all missed that target by miles.
#GH
Kudos to Michael Easton taking it off for a shower scene at 56. That couldn't have been easy. Much like early 20s Tabyana Ali and NAC doing their very first love scene. No matter how old you are, it's challenging and requires trust. (Keep your ageist bullshit to yourselves.)
#GH
I'm so sad to see Sydney Mikayla go. And her last ep is underscoring for me how Trina needs more going forward than just being Spencer's moral compass. That should not be her job. Black women do enough emotional labor without having to be the angel on a white man's shoulder.
#GH
This is devastating. 💔 RIP, Jackie Zeman. I grew up watching Nurse Bobbie Spencer. Some of my earliest
#GH
memories were of her storylines. (The first time I ever heard my mom cuss, she cussed at Bobbie. 😂😭)
On behalf of our
@GeneralHospital
family, I am heartbroken to announce the passing of our beloved
@JackieZeman
. Just like her character, the legendary Bobbie Spencer, she was a bright light and true professional that brought so much positive energy with her to work.
I hate how
#GH
is acting like Sam spent five years waiting atop the lighthouse for her sailor to come home, as opposed to falling in love with Patrick and Drew, growing as a character, etc. Her life did not stop when Jason left. If anything, it stopped when he came back.
Everyone’s suggesting stellar Black actors for
#TheGates
. Now, you just know the network’s going to want a token white guy. Here’s a short list of who it should NOT be:
John Schneider
Ingo Rademacher
anyone they ran into in a parking lot
Okay, but Spencer’s NOT innocent. We knew he at least did the blood sprinkler. So as much as Laura yelling at Nik is valid, that kid still needed to learn a lesson and ‘fess up. And he didn’t.
#GH
So,
#GH
is so inexplicably WTF right now that I fully expect the Quartermaines to actually have turkey at Thanksgiving this year. Because why bother being soapy when you can be mundane?
The sheer audacity of
#GH
putting Sonny at the forefront of this Faison story and having him mansplain to Anna about catching the man SHE IS AN EXPERT ON. The mind boggles.
Can Portia talk about something that ISN'T Curtis and HatDad? She is a fabulous, gorgeous, Black professional with a fabulous, gorgeous, daughter and she's played by Brook Motherfreaking Kerr. She should be driving her own arc, not playing support to Curtis's daddy issues.
#GH
Molly and TJ are a much better Wholesome Core Couple than Millow. They’re sweet, they’re passionate about their ideals, and we’ve known Molly since she was born.
#GH
I’m incredibly tickled by how
#GH
fandom is united in Parking Lot Peter hatred. I’ve been in the show’s online fandom since 1996 or so, and I think this is the first time every fanbase agrees on something. 😂
You know what I liked about this Sonny-Nina scene...? They started off on opposite sides of the desk, voices raised and combative. But they slowly drew closer together, their tones softened. And, oh, there's that thread of attraction and they both felt it. Well done!
#GH
You know why many of us are enjoying Sonny for the first time in decades? The writers finally let him grow. And Maurice Benard clearly relishes the challenge. After years of stagnation. Carly and LW need that, too. But they just keep that character static. She never changes.
#GH
The best villains on daytime right now are a body-hopping demon and a teenage girl. Peter August isn’t even in the competition. Peter August makes Scooby Doo villains look like brainiacs. Stop embarrassing yourselves,
#GH
. It’s just sad. 🤣
Cynthia Watros is a treasure. I loved this bit.
Nina: "Anna! Valentin! I didn't know you two made it official."
Anna: "Yeah."
Valentin: "Would it kill you to act a little jealous?"
Nina: "Oh. Okay. Um...'Git your hands off mah man!'"
LMAO.
#GH
Michael being morally outraged about Nina and wanting to tattle on her to Sonny would have more heft if he hadn't spent the last however many months scheming against Sonny because reasons.
#GH
US soap operas are glaringly white. Glaringly. And a large portion of the viewership is Black. I myself am South Asian. We all tune in despite not seeing ourselves up there on that screen. So, Trina Robinson, this beautiful *darker-skinned* Black girl in a love story means A LOT.
It kinda cracks me up that I've readily accepted TempJoss as belonging in these grieving scenes, but whenever Drew walks in, I'm like "What are YOU doing here?" 🤣
#GH
It's amazing how they took a character who had so much potential—Spencer—and turned him into a complete dolt. Way to sabotage one of your most talented new hires.
#GH
This Britt and Jason hostage video is hilarious to me. It's basically "We're being forced to tell you that Peter is the most badass villain to ever badass, because
#GH
's three years of propping hasn't hammered this in enough." It's like a metaphor for the show itself. 😂
Not really a fan of Sonny going off his Lithium while, presumably, ending up with Nina. It feels too much like the Mike situation repeated. Why can't he be healthy and with her?
#GH
If you just heard a high-pitched "WHAT?!" that was me, as Anna called Jason a "good man" and then told Carly that they remind her of her and Robert. Why? How? On what planet? Certainly not this one. There is zero comparison. Whoever wrote okayed that line should feel bad.
#GH
I see a lot of people on the TL who are pondering tuning into
#GH
for Spencer and Trina. I hope the show actually follows up and has them in episodes this coming week. Don't waste the momentum and the chance for new eyes on the show.
That shot of Esme opening her palm to reveal that she'd dug her nails in while talking to Trina...? So much scarier than anything PLP has pulled in his entire run.
#GH
Carly’s really out here lecturing Cam about guns. Carly, who is about to marry a hitman. How did lightning not strike her dead in Monica’s house (that Alan gave her)?
#GH
I'm really disappointed at how
#GH
just totally fumbled this story. Law enforcement hasn't been able to catch white criminals for DECADES but somehow there's viable evidence to go after Trina this hard? Every step of this has been trash.
Liz contemplating killing Peter would’ve had more impact had we seen ANYTHING about her feelings this past year. But, gosh, that would’ve cut into scenes with Carly talking to vending machines or rehashing things with Sonny.
#GH
Carly complaining about Nina filling Wiley's head with all sorts of things about Nelle is rich when she spent Michael's whole life shit-talking AJ.
#GH
I know it should make me uncomfortable that Sonny is menacing a 19-20yo girl, but she’s Ryan Chamberlain’s daughter and this is textbook “Fuck Around and Find Out.” 😂
#GH
Tracy figuring out the baby secret in two seconds flat is perfectly in character. So why haven’t they extended that same snap-knowledge to Anna, who is just as devious?
#GH
#GH
has a big
#Sprina
problem on its hands — and it isn't Nicholas Alexander Chavez's burgeoning primetime career. Read what has us so fired up, and rightly so!
Lydia Look and Avery Pohl are easily acting circles around the people this show *wants* us to believe are the top-tier antagonists. Selina and Esme are both formidable!
#GH
For anyone clutching pearls over our widespread Ryan and Esme squee…it’s not ‘shipping it. This is an appreciation for brilliantly fucked-up villainy, in writing and acting. Especially after the shitshow that was Peter.
#GH
Felicia: "There's my favorite man in uniform!"
Mac: "I don't wear a uniform."
Felicia: "That's okay. I like you better out of it anyway."
😍I have missed them so. JJY and KW have still got it!
#GH
Forget selling those cardboard standees. The
#GH
official store should be selling jars of Sonny's special sauce. "It freezes so well you wouldn't even know it had been frozen! And it still tastes great three months later*!"
"*Warning, this product may cause pregnancy."
Why* do people keep wanting Joss as the spoiler in Sprina? Joss and Trina have one of the only functional female friendships in daytime. Let them keep that and let Josslyn focus on ripping out Esme's hair for wooing Cameron away.
#GH
*We know why.
Kirsten Storms is doing a wonderful job in this docks scene. Playing Maxie's desperation, her absolute conviction in saying whatever the hell she needs to in order to get her daughter back.
#GH
