I don't understand what TPTB is trying to do with this Charlotte story. Lulu is "right" in that she is Charlotte's bio mom and Charlotte deserves to know that truth (and if it was up to Valentin and Nina solely, they'd never tell Charlotte), but she is going about this all wrong. Fighting for full custody first when both Dante and Laura have told her to slow down and let Charlotte get to know her, and now wanting to tell Charlotte about her being her bio mom the second Claudette is dead. Charlotte doesn't know Lulu, Lulu needs to SLOW down and think about how Charlotte must feel having a revolving door of parents. Are they still trying to say, by the way, that Claudette was Charlotte's "mom" and raised her? Because they can't have it both ways. Either Claudette went on the run with Charlotte and raised her away from Valentin, or Valentin was her papa and the only parent Charlotte knows. Claudette/Valentin didn't play happy family and raise her together, that's for sure.

Anyone who wants to attack Franco for whatever reason they are so inclined is always welcome but it would have been nice if Julian would have gone after Franco before this, for what Franco did to his daughter (and grandson).

Didn't Laura/Liz have this exact. same. conversation on Monday? Oh, Laura, just do your job and spend time with your boyfriend, please. Stay as far away from the crazy as you can.

Soaps In Depth (the guy who runs the Twitter account, at least) brought up a good point. Why is Valentin telling Charlotte that he and Nina got married and Nina is her new step-mommy when presumably next week Lulu has to ask Valentin for permission to tell Charlotte she is her mother? Valentin is allowing Lulu to spend time with Charlotte, yes, but he and Nina are making no effort to integrate Lulu into Charlotte's life and help Charlotte understand. No wonder Charlotte is wary.

Franco "feeling bad" (note: not at all, clearly) about what he did to Sam has nothing to do with his dumb theory that Alexis killed Tom, TPTB.

Is Aiden the kid that went around lurking at everyone's station at the beginning to see what they were baking? What was up with that?!

It would have been nice to actually get to see Kevin and Laura having family outings with Liz's boys. Just sayin'... Having a rape victim herself that married her rapist be the one to give Elizabeth the all-clear to date the serial killer/rapist - I can see where the writers thought Laura would be the best bet, but have they forgotten that Franco did things to hurt Laura and her family, too? I don't buy Laura being *just fine* with her grandsons spending time with the man that, for starters, strapped her daughter to a bomb.

I could live with that. Lulu could be sad for awhile but find out Charlotte wasn't hers anyway and it was yet another Cassadine scam, Nina would go unhinged - again - once she realizes she married a murderous killer and didn't even get a baby out of it, and Laura/Kevin/Lulu are free to get back at Valentin however they choose for shooting Kevin/murdering Nik. Win-win

And then put a pro-Liz/anti-Sam spin on what they can...

Oh, Celeb Dirty Laundry? Yeah, they also recently claimed Valentin was Anna's A) son and/or B) baby brother and that Laura might kill Valentin for Lulu's sake.

DL?

Sorry, dubbel zout, I didn't see the 'most' ;) is Claudette supposed to come back, do we know? Or was her story essentially to drop off Charlotte in Port Charles?

But yet Hayden has been here for two (?) years and immediately went from the Nikolas story and being widow Cassadine to being Liz's sister and apparently dying from whatever it is Finn has.

We never found out who was "stalking" JaSam in that barn, did we? No, but wait, we got to see Franco acting appalled that Jason and Sam would think it was him and we got to see him leering creepily at Sam and calling her a barn animal :/

Never mind the fact that this is meant to be another reason for Charlotte to pull away from Lulu and Lulu to get the sadz, why is this Lulu's responsibility to tell Charlotte that she is her mother? Does Valentin bear no responsibility for this situation he created? The show went full-steam with the retcon that Valentin is the only parent Charlotte ever knew AND he's a Cassadine, I don't buy it that he was a poor little victim of Helena's manipulation. If Valentin stole the embryo and implanted it in Claudette, or Daphne, or whoever (the story behind Charlotte's entire existence has changed so many times I can't keep straight what version they are on now) he must have known the egg came from somewhere. And he had no problem creating the child and not telling Lulu about it for ten years, so I'm Team Lulu on this one. Despite how she is acting. Unless, of course, Lulu blurts it out to get back at Nina or win favor with Charlotte or something, which with the way Lulu has been acting and ignoring Dante and Laura's very reasonable advice to slow down, makes sense.

Oops

So does this mean Franco will finally go away?!

I'm not surprised.

Why would she care about that when he just admitted to her that he loved her, geez! Shouted it to her in an interrogation room where he was because he was accused of said murder, isn't that romantic?

Franco, if you've been suspected of murder four (!) times in the past three/four years and twice in the past six months, maybe that should be a sign to you that you aren't as reformed as you think you are.

So who is Charlotte's mom in that scenario? Claudette? How would Valentin have doctored the DNA test? (Reasons/Helena/commercial break?)

Any storyline that allows someone to snark on Nina is worth watching. I have to admit that I don't understand what the show is going for with this custody case. Nina and Valentin clearly got married solely because of Charlotte and the assumption that would help in the case. (You should have picked a better wife, then, Valentin). And yes, baby rabies, but why is Nina so obsessive about getting custody for Valentin of Charlotte when she herself met Charlotte at most a week or two before Lulu did?

As is her entire story. That we never, ever cared about.

Heh, for real. Maybe it's you, dear one.

And in the previews for Monday Carly goes right back to telling Sonny she can't stay with him because of the violence!
