I think that Liz is being nicer than she should be because she knows what it's like to watch your child die (even if Jake got better she still was there for what was supposed to be the plug basically being pulled) and she did some off the wall shit in the aftermath of that. Mostly she tried to keep Danny from Sam and Jason because she was pissed that Danny was alive and Jake was dead. And, no, that wasn't this. It lasted a day, but she still did it. She also took in a man off the street because he felt "connected" to her dead child's name. That's not rational.

I NEED that book

If you wanna cry like a little baby, watch Hotel Del Luna. Doctor John is a good medical drama, though I think the translated name is a bit off. If you want family drama, watch the Great Show I'm trying to watch Graceful Family, but it kind of pisses me off how horrible the characters are. And I like Extraordinary You, life inside a romance manga... as a side character.

In theory I liked Hayden/Finn, not so much on my screen. Like, Michael is bland as white rice in a pairing, but generally I don't have to look away in discomfort when he's paired up like I do with Finn. I still like him though.

Finn doesn't mesh well with anyone.

Like I said, Hayden's keeping the secret really all boils down to daddy issues. Which I get, considering. Her dad is no prize and she didn't really trade up when her mom revealed that Jeff Webber is her bio dad.

Finn is a very private, closed off person, so having that conversation in that very public place, where he works, and under the circumstances was probably pretty hard for him to cope with. Finn is not a put together, well adjusted human being. Even though he's gotten better over time, with the help of Hayden herself as well as Anna and Chase, he's still not the guy to go to for the yelling in corridors kind of scene. I mean, cornering him like that worked very much in Hayden's favor. As for Cam/Joss, considering the trajectory and history of their relationship I think the writers were probably intentionally not mentioning any family connection. It's a little icky if you think on it. Like when Maxie and Georgie were going hard on poor Lucas. /shiver

Also, I care so little about Lulu that I forgot Charlote and Rocco (fuck I hate that name) exist until right this minute.

In the years of future that this show doesn't have, I want Kristina to become the older woman who introduces one of the young ones to the world of romance, mostly because she is the only lesbian/bi (?) person on the show, so she would have more options. That is a question btw, because I'm not sure of her actual preference after Shiloh. I thought she had come out as gay, but then she was perfectly fine sleeping with him. IDK what that means for her character. It doesn't matter or anything, they just never really said.

Violet in needed on the show because there has to be a girl that Leo, James and Willey/Jonah fight over when they are all SORASed to the same age in a year or so. ETA: this leads me to think about who can and can't hook up, of the youngest generation. Sexauality not withstanding, Danny or Scout could date Aiden, Violet, Georgie, James or Donna. Aiden would be pretty free to date any of the above, except Donna or Violet. Georgie and James could date any of the others since they are the ONLY kids on this show not related to half the damn town. Leo could date James, Georgie, Aiden, Violet or Donna. Avery could only date James, Georgie, Violet or Aiden. Donna could date Leo, James, Georgie or Violet. Violet could date anyone. ETA2: I forgot Willey in all of this, but he's destined to be as bland and chemistry free as his father, so I I won't bother to go back and adjust. He is related to Donna, Avery, Aiden, Scout, and Danny though.

That makes me stabby On another note: Right this minute Finn is actively engaging in hiding the truth about someone's biological parentage from them, so he can kindly STFU! I don't like Peter's backstory, but Finn is hiding the whole Alex of it all from him, along with Anna because reasons, so his high ground is a snowball in the dessert. No, that doesn't make Hayden hiding adorable ass Violet (now i need to know, is this a Willy Wonka fangirling or a Leminy Snicket fangirling right here? I don't believe the flower thing) from her father for no other reason than some kind of stupidity that lives in her own daddy issues. But... he should look in the mirror before being a dick about it.

I think the point that Tad/Ted/Martin Sanders was trying to make was that the truth of identity is only important to Liz when she wants it to be. In the past, when it would have negatively affected her, she kept her mouth shut, but now when the shoe is on the other foot she's hysterical. This is the point he is trying to make. However... it's not the same thing, and she admits she was wrong, ans has done so previously. She's not changing her stance now when it's convenient. Also? This drags up the original twins story where Drew, who did then and DOES NOW (cause totally not dead) have all Jason's memories and experiences, had to step his ass aside and accept that he couldn't be married to Jason's wife and raise his sons. Much more analogous situation, and not in the favor of FranknDrew's case. And if they try and say that since Drew is dead, NBD, I will flip.

As a fan of Friz, I fucking hate this Drew story because I can't bring myself to even watch their scenes. TFGH

This is Carly's 4th child, so I don't think a shower would be that appropriate. Now, if they didn't have a 4 year old at home, and way too much money, then Donna being 16 years younger than Carly's last child might point toward her needing all the things... but no.

Clink/Boom wrecked me because damn, no spoilers, no warning, just.... BOOM. And I cared, which I don't anymore.

I'm glad that Gloria and Kevin have been saved from that atrocity that was the story on DAYS for those actors.

I think Edie's case kind of muddles things too, since he could have legitimately been an anonymous sperm donor. I tend to want to set that situation aside and see if he lied on the profile or switched out samples or if he just donated sperm in his own clinic and used it when requested as well as the other actual fraud situations. I, too, want to know what was really going on in Dr. B's mind. ETA: I'm glad that Leon is alive in this version. There is a chance that these questions might be answered. In the Aussie version he was basically off the board immediately. There was no real opportunity for any kind of questioning.

I was a Lily fan. She was sweet, soft spoken, calm in the face of all the bullshit that her family was doing. Not to mention that the arranged marriage was right up my Regency Romance loving alley and I was in for Sonny/Lily. I didn't like Brenda either, so that helped. She always came across as smug and entitled. Boo Hoo, being a highly paid and respected model is SO HARD! I started watching the show at about the time of BJ's death, so I never saw any of early Brenda, maybe she wasn't so bad when she was younger.

IF they had actually had SBu and TB do flashbacks and show Kim and Drew's connection/relationship, I might have given a flying fuck. I believe that TB and SBu actually have enough natural chemistry to pull that off. They did as Carly and Jason (admittedly less than SBr and SBu or LW and SBu, but the connection was believable) and I think it would have made the situation more understandable. But TFGH is lazy.

I don't think Julia was as much protecting Edie as she was protecting Tim from seeing that. Finding out your wife is cheating is one thing, SEEING it is another. At least I hope that is her motivation, since Edie has never been anything but an asshole to Julia.

That would be 3 times in a row. Sabrina wasn't a scammer, per say, but she did Michael real dirty. So, this is Michael's type. Women who are slightly shady but seem super nice, Nell being the meaner exception. Starr, Kiki, Abby, Sabrina and Sasha are all nicer types who were doing shady shit. I feel like this is a commentary on his shitty parents. Reminds me what a waste Starr and Michael were. Remember how OTT wacko they both were as children? and how they became total white bread when they got older? Wasted potential.

I FF through all of Edie's scenes away from Julia too. She sucks.

I always envision Morgan's comeback story as him being involved in a rival family. Not in a "I'm going to show Sonny" or "get revenge for imagined slights" kind of way, but just having gotten his shit together mentally and decided to stay dead, getting involved with some other family incidentally and really loving the "life". ETA: though, I would live for a story where it comes out very publicly that Morgan is Avery's father and Carly changed the DNA test. Thus Morgan can find out and then be VERY PISSED and come back to get his daughter away from his asshole parents.

I want to know why the pannelists are always screaming everything? do their mics not work properly? Are they drunk? Is Robin the only one who remembered his medication?

I miss Billy Miller... and Scott Clifton... and Rick Hearst... and Sean Kanan. All good actors that were wasted here.
