When DAYS’s Rafe en-
tered the pub from the
back, Hope asked why he was upstairs. How did she know he
was upstairs? He could have been in the kitchen. Also, why was
Ciara so sure that Eve knew about Claire’s fire-setting based
on the message Eve left for her niece? All Eve did was warn
Claire that Ben and Ciara were trying to set her up, which they
were.... Taylor’s absence is a big hole in son Thomas’s descent
into darkness on B&B.... When, during their angst-ridden
conferences would GH’s Willow have snapped a photo of a
grinning Diane, her attorney, to use as the picture ID we saw
pop up on her phone when Diane calls?

thumbs up!
GENERAL HOSPITAL
The Cavalry
Has Arrived
When Margaux headed
out of Port Charles, GH
filled the DA vacancy with
fan fave Robert Scorpio,
who, we learned, had
earned a law degree off-
screen. Now this is how
you do revisionist his-
tory — making Robert an
attorney doesn’t undo any-
thing sacred about Robert’s
backstory, it just posi-
tions him better for future
story. A bonus is that he’ll
be workingat the PCPD

alongside Mac, who
was named interim
commissioner after
Jordan’s kidney
transplant. Mac and
Robert both have
cherished associa-
tions with P.C.’s law
enforcement agen-
cies, and it was a
stroke of viewer
wish-fulfilling genius to
make use of it. Having the
vets aboard automatically
increases fans’ interest in
the crime-fighting sec-
tion of the show’s canvas,
and it’s a terrific show-
case for the chemistry of
on-screen brothers Tristan
Rogers (Robert) and John
J. York (Mac), which
was on full display when
Robert beamed to Mac,
“The Scorpio brothers ride
again!”

BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL
Innocence Lost
B&B’s baby-switch story
took a riveting turn when
earnest intern Emma, the lat-
est in a long line of people
who found out the secret,
overheard the truth. Despite
Flo, Zoe, Shauna and Xander
all having a clue, Emma was
the sole person who insisted
that birth mom Hope had to

Cute inside joke on GH when
Mike was delighted to find out
that he could watch reruns of
BARNEY MILLER on his tablet
(Mike’s portrayer, Max Gail, is an
alum of the classic sitcom)....
Eva La Rue has been a great^
addition to Y&R as Rey and Lola’s
judgmental mama, Celeste.... On
B&B, Courtney Hope delivered a
moving performance when Sally
blasted Wyatt for moving on with
Flo, declaring, “One day you are
going to realize that I am really
the one that got away.”

thumbs up!
