They'll get together long enough to replace Poor!Dead!Jake

I though BA's stay was temporary? Plus, RC has been trying to make Nate happen for over a year

Is Maxie's Frisco argument maybe intentionally stupid? Spinelli, the custodial parent lives on the other side of the country. Reuniting with Spinelli would mean that Maxie could be a full-time parent to her daughter - that's actually a compelling argument in his favor. But the writing for Spinelli, which had regressed him to the most obnoxious period in his history, is obviously intended to make Nathan look better so it's not an argument that is being made atall

RH is good at working with younger actors and he's good at playing self-destructive and damaged. Bonus - he probably wouldn't have been stuck doing stupid relish stories

I thought RC did a pretty good job with romance on OLTL. There were a few romantic duds (All of the Fords) but there were some romantic relationships that were done really, really well. He was also good at writing friendship/family scenes - I don't know what happened to that on GH

I thought Sabrina was a self-righteous asshole today both with Kiki and with Rosalie. I wish she wasn't positioned as the "good girl" in this Avery story because insisting on hiring Sabrina makes Michael look petty and hypocritical. Honestly,if Kiki and Morgan weren't complete idiots they would use Sabrina's position as the nanny in an appeal and suggest Kiki/Silas as a better option

I agree. I think their plan is soapy and awful but not worse than that Franco crap. I stopped watching during the Franco/Sam rape story because it was making me ill. I watched a few clips recently out of curiosity. That story was easily one of the most vile things I've ever seen on a soap. The idea that because she wasn't actually physically violated = no harm, no foul was incredibly offensive and is one of the reasons I will always hate the Franco character

I was just thinking that I wish SK hadn't been available when they decided to bring back AJ - because if RH had been AJ the Carly/AJ chemistry wouldn't have been as good but AJ would be alive, he probably would of gotten better stories, and I wouldn't resent RH's presence on the show so much Not because I love RH or prefer him to SK - I just think AJ should be on the show and RC actually writes for RH He'd probably be in the midst of a Carly/AJ story and I'd actually care about Jake because I'm much more interested in friends/family than his romantic triangle

I think the writers made it all about Jason - which was incredibly gross. Franco hurt Jason's wife to torture him. The story was gross and Jason was awful but I think it was the first time in a long time his reaction was realistic instead of saintly. Plus, I love it when Sam is angry with Jason - she gets pull no punches vicious and generally Drunk!Sam makes an appearance. But I do think an inability to imagine (seriously, how does his brain damage work again?) would work against him when trying to navigate not hating Franco's son for being a constant reminder of the fact that his wife was hurt just to hurt him. That's a lot of guilt, rage, and helplessness for somebody without brain damage. I think it was a low point in their relationship but not, in itself, evidence that it was a bad relationship because it was a fairly impossible situation. Bad relationship = death threats & kidnapping I hated that whole storyline SO MUCH and it swallowed the show for SO LONG.

This * infinity. I loathed that retcon By the time the show ended I wanted Rex to DIAF and I there is no way in hell that Clint's DNA is present anywhere in Rex's twitchy, annoying little body. I am convinced that both of those boys were Brody's children and they should all have found out during an extremely soapy health crisis. They will also discover that the lab tech who did all of the paternity tests was an incompetent lunatic and Rex will turn out to be a Hopi. My UOs: Jared/Natalie was my favorite Natalie pairing. I loved them unapologetically. Nat's reunion with McBain never really rang true for me after all the lies about Liam. I wish Brody had been both Liam and Ryder's father

I actually thought that was a legitimate issue for them. I think it would be difficult for many couples and Jason has trouble with imagining things, doesn't he? I forget how his brain damage works. I thought it also made sense that he realized that it was doable when faced with the actual, non-theoretical baby. Still hate that RC killed of Tea's baby. Wasn't surprised by McBain being drawn to the nearest damsel in distress because that was perfectly in character

It feels very much like the set up for Robin's return from the dead when RC tried to pretend that there was some actual conflict in the choice between a years long marriage and a relationship that has existed for a few months. I believe that Sam likes Patrick (have they even exchanged ILYs?) but she was madly in love with Jasus for nearly a decade. I could buy a conflict over placing her child in harm's way by being with Jason again but not one about her feelings for her dead husband

I think I'm looking forward to it. Michael can offer him an overflowing glass of STFU and call him out for his treatment of the only person who gave him a chance

I think Carlos might be magic? I just sat through an entire Sabrina scene without wishing for her to get craned

That's another reason that I wish RC had a co-headwriter, preferably one with a really good grasp of sexual consent issues - he occasionally writes consent like he's the author of a 1970s bodice ripper

I don't think Maxie works with a dim but sweet & earnest love interest and I don't think RP can play anything else. I don't want another round of Spinelli/Maxie because the writing for Spinelli has been so horrendous that it's obviously meant to make Nate seem like the better option but it's just making me dislike everyone involved

Is the Jakeson's reveal not going to happen until November sweeps?

I kinda like Spencer and I loved the HUGE smile he had on his face when he ran back into the burning room for his present. You could tell he was having a blast. I wish the kids had more age appropriate stories and I certainly wouldn't mind seeing much less of them but I don't dislike any of them

Oh yay. I guess she's also going to save him from chemistry and being interesting

I was a fan until the Zander/Liz/Jason triangle. Unless the triangle is compelling, the person in the middle just looks like an indecisive asshole. Then, Jason chose Copkilla instead of Liz and I lost all interest in the pairing and in watching Jason scenes because the Drab Four - ugh

They're probably just going to talk about Jakeson Heh. jinx.

She also was ridiculously indignant when Michael dared to bring it up during one of their boring conversations

Which would totally work if Kiki didn't know for a fact that Sonny wanted to murder her mother - that he held her hostage and intended to kill her as soon as Avery was born. I think Kiki is siding with Morgan so Sabrina can be shoehorned into this story not because there's any rational reason for Kiki to side with Sonny

The thing is - Michael's custody suit is predicated on the argument that Sonny is a potential danger to his children. He would be undercutting that argument by having Sabrina (who actually, intentionally put Avery in harm's way) in Avery's life. Granted, my distaste for the idea is colored by my distaste for the pairing but I don't want Michael to lose custody - or even the high ground - over dumb ol' Sabrina

She's not right to support Sonny (because he's an awful person and a terrible parent) but she's not wrong to be concerned about Sabrina's presence in Avery's life.
