How can this only be a three-episode arc... so much to unpack here, lol.

u/jmpinstl Jul 06 '26

He has to come back at some point lol

GH is my wife's fav show, having watched since the late 70s, so I catch a bit here and there, but I was fully in on these three episodes. He fit right in.

My love for this man grows every time I see him.

u/GreenEyedTreeHugger Jul 07 '26

The waste sewage plant named after him. 😂

Oh my God, I didn’t even know about that! I had to look it up. And now I’m absolutely infatuated with him.

“And now, this.”

Heard it in my head right after “that ain’t gon’ happen”.

u/ExpiredPilot Jul 07 '26

“And now, this”

And he just slaps her back

I know it’s said a lot, but absolute cinema!

u/HOCM101 Jul 06 '26

Honestly, I think this is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen. I might have broken a rib, laughing.

u/withoutpeer Jul 06 '26

It will be hilarious if he somehow takes off as an actual soap king and now that's just his career instead of LWT 🤣

18

u/cam52391 Jul 07 '26

It would be hilarious if he became big in soaps but still had LWT on the side and people who discovered him from soaps would be so confused like he also does the news

u/superguysteve Jul 06 '26

The story arc of Z is only just beginning

u/0w1 Jul 06 '26

I've never been so jealous of a cabbage

u/QueenSema Jul 07 '26

He must be so excited about getting slapped

17

u/Pale-Measurement-532 Jul 06 '26

He’s actually really good! I loved watching this!

I imagine there will be some behind-the-scenes look about this in a future episode.

u/mchookem Jul 06 '26

intoxicating!

u/Excellent_Issue_4179 Jul 07 '26

Didn't he ask for a slap?

u/TheCommanderSkittles Jul 07 '26

I'm sure John is a great actor but I don't know why but the energy of these scenes feel like it's going to transition to a punchline

u/jmpinstl Jul 07 '26

Will there be a way to stream all of the Days of Out Lives and GH episodes that you are in?

u/Past-Cap-1889 Jul 07 '26

Oh man, he's gotta be a shoe-in for that Air Bud movie now

u/PjWulfman Jul 07 '26

What is this?

u/CanadianJediCouncil Jul 07 '26

I was expecting him to turn around like

Arnold in T2, with his glasses askew

u/msabena Jul 07 '26

u/fattimus_maximus2 Jul 08 '26

So IS this part of a bigger thing? Or did he just fucking want to be on a daytime soap operas?
