What to Watch
There’s no question that Ric (Rick Hearst) spiraling is one to watch on the hit ABC soap. A couple of weeks ago, Ric was clearly jealous when he saw Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) and Liz (Rebecca Herbst) bonding at the softball fields. Liz is Ric’s Achilles heel, and the closer she grows with Dante, the more he will see red.
Speaking of Liz and Dante, anytime they are together is don’t miss tv. Dante and Liz have off-the-charts chemistry. GH is definitely building a slow burn with them while also creating a kind of love triangle with Ric. It’s the good old-fashioned soapy goodness fans won’t want to miss.
Anna (Finola Hughes) is always a must-see, especially in her current state, as she conjures up visions of Peter (Wes Ramsey). The fact that she purposely introduces Josslyn (Eden McCoy) and Tristan (Dean Geyer) is very intriguing. Anna doesn’t do anything without a good reason. It’s a safe bet it has to do with whatever revenge Peter wants Anna to get on Britt (Kelly Thiebaud).
Since Drew (Cameron Mathison) returned from being locked in, he’s more despicable than ever. However, his extending an olive branch to someone is attention-grabbing and raises many questions. Who is the person he makes the offer to? Is he sincere, or is it part of an ulterior motive? It’s just so unlike him to be nice in any way, and that’s why that moment will be one to watch for sure.
Other honorable mentions to watch include Carly (Laura Wright) and whatever her latest scheme is, which could involve Josslyn or even her new man, Valentin (James Patrick Stuart). Anna and Sonny (Maurice Benard) finding common ground has our attention and makes us wonder what brings them together.
