This Week's US Soap Promos (October 4th-8th, 2021)
This week on the US Daytime Soaps...
General Hospital
Yikes. This week kinda felt a bit messy. I wasn't totally displeased but parts certainly fell flat.
I liked the Anna x Valentin scenes & kiss. I've been enjoying their building chemistry.
Still not sold on nuDrew mostly because of my aggressive indifference for Cameron Matthison. Hopefully I'll enjoy him more once he's finally back in PC and interacting with the cast.
I'm going to continue to reserve my judgement on the fallout of Sonny's return for a while longer. Now that Carly knows Nina's part in the whole thing, it seems only a matter of time before she learns the romantic part (which perhaps Sonny will reveal on Monday?). Her scenes with Nina were fine. I'm glad the writers let Nina hold her own against Carly to the degree they did.
While I'm glad the Spencer Stalking story is finally being resolved (or mostly, I'm sure that Esme's nonsense is just beginning), I felt having both this and the Nina reveal playing out together hindered both. Especially by pulling Sonny into felt unnecessary. Hopefully Monday will be good with Ava's reaction.
Also, why did we get a nuNik for just a day? I liked him well enough. Curious how he or mostly Tyler Christopher would have handled this story. Marcus Coloma's reaction so far seems kinda muted.
GH Spoilers
Days of Our Lives
I go back and forth on the Abigails. I mostly prefer Kate Mansi as Abigail as I think she brings a bit more zest and energy to the role and I like her chemistry with Billy Flynn's Chad. However, I think Marci Miller does well in the role and works well as Jennifer's daughter.
Seeing how fun and alive Billy was playing Chad in "Beyond Salem", has made me once again wish the persued the Chad/Will chemistry all those years back and given us a bisexual Chad.
DOOL Spoilers for the Week

The Bold and the Beautiful
CBS hasn't posted B&B's promo yet and I don't want to wait for it anymore. Here's a few spoilers/preview for the week...

A Russian priest aided Patient 6 by arranging passage for the patient aboard a freighter bound for New York. On the ship, Patient 6 encountered Huxley Lynch, an old foe of Nikolas and Ava's. Griffin had an encounter with Patient 6, who told Griffin where to find Ava. Griffin saved Ava from Dr. Klein's diabolical intentions.

Graham convinced Dina that the woman at the assisted living facility in Florida was his aunt. Myrna encouraged Graham to exact revenge on Dina because Brent had left Myrna and Graham for Dina years earlier.
Sharon threatened to turn Alice in to the police unless Alice arranged to have Crystal returned to Genoa City. Tessa and Crystal tearfully reunited. Before calling the cops, Sharon gave Alice a head start to escape. Alice found the safe house abandoned, and a car mowed her down when she attempted to leave town. Sharon and Scott found Alice's empty hospital bed as Zack looked on. Mariah covered her dismay when Tessa agreed to move in with Noah.
Kevin hacked into Nick's bank account and transferred the funds to Victor. Nick suspected that Victor had been behind his missing cash.
