Maybe that's it. I thought they had written it into the Olivia character. Or I'm probably confusing real life with GH storylines. At this point, I don't know anymore.

If memory serves, long before she married Ned, Olivia was crushing on Robert. I tend to think they're framing their interactions in a way to keep the crush alive and innocent.

Lulu just needs to go away. Not sure if it's the actress or the writers, but this version of Lulu is beyond annoying. She's petty, entitled and self-righteous -- and a horrible reporter.

The new Nicholas looks young enough to be Spencer's big brother. The two of them on screen together should make an interesting dynamic.

I hate this version of Nina. Ever times she speaks it's like nails on a chalkboard. I'll be glad when she finally finds out about Valentin - she deserves it. And I pray that Jax isn't her consolation prize.

This new Nina is beyond annoying. I'm about one "my darling" away from throwing my shoe at the screen when she's on. I'll enjoy seeing this version of Nina learn that Sasha isn't her daughter and Valentin is still evil. The only good thing about this whole Kim/Franco story is seeing Liz slip into bitch mode. I'm not a huge Elizabeth fan, but the character becomes much more interesting when she has a nemesis. Kim, on the other hand, is just a vile character. I would contend that she just sexually assaulted Franco. Drew's memories may be over-riding Franco's, but the body is all Franco, who didn't consent to the sexual act.

I know who Dirty Harry and Deborah Harry are. AND I can quote most of Jaws. Just saying...

I couldn't agree more about the faded t-shirt. While they could have made more of an effort, it did seem like the event was spontaneous. Just wondering if it gave people a chance to prepare to attend. HOWEVER, the invite did specifically mention no black clothes...

All of this Jason love from Jax is sickening.

The fact that Sam couldn't even say Drew's name today, but instead was concerned about Jason's loss of a nephew he barely knew or cared about was disgusting. What was she doing leaving her 2 little kids at a house where a teenager was dying? And she couldn't bring herself to go to the house to check on the kids herself and offer support to Drew. Last I checked, they still had an amicable relationship. It just burns me that Jason is being shoe-horned into this story because he's Jason. If he's so concerned about Q's dying, then why is he working for his brother's killer? I can't believe I once fan-girled Jason and Sam. Ok, rant over - for now. Ugh!

I must have missed something. Why can't they share scenes? Or is it just the producers not wanting them to share scenes? They seem to have a lot of chemistry, which would, of course, shine a huge light on the fact that KM and SB have no chemistry - at least not anymore.

When he said that, it occurred to me -- Jason and Carly are end game. I know they're BFFs, just friends, and all that... but it was just over the top. And as much as I want to gag as I'm typing this, they had 100x more chemistry in that scene than Jason and Sam have ever had. I feel icky now.

I haven't posted in a while, but Jason had me seeing red today. I can't believe I ever rooted for this character. He's a bully, but I guess that goes with the territory of being a hit man. Sam is crazy to pick him over Drew.

With this episode, I am thankful for... Joss finally knowing the truth, so we can put the whole fake teenage love triangle behind us. (That was excruciating to watch on many levels.) Julian not breaking the law. I can't help it - I like the new, reformed Julian. the continuation of the Quartermaine singing & pizza tradition. Kiki's run-in with Ryan. Laura finally getting mad instead of sulky. Anna dressed up - she looked gorgeous. (As did Nina and NuJordan.) the fast-forward button, so I can skip past Stella's disruption of the wedding. She bugs me.

I thought Joss demonstrated today that she was truly Carly's daughter: (paraphrase) What about Meeeeeeee? I don't care that you promised Oscar to keep his secret; you should have told Meeeeee! My guess is that Cam becomes Joss' version of Jason. Catching up on episodes. Sam looked more engaged in her scenes with BM just sitting on the bench, then she did with SBu in all their scenes combined. I was once a JaSam fan, but that ship has sailed. The chemistry is gone and it's painful to watch them try to recreate (drag out) a "love" that is past its expiration date. Let Jason be Sonny and Carly's whipping boy - that's where he seems happiest.
