She could come to attend PCU.

Not the type of kiss typically given to one's fiancee, either. So I wonder if someone will observe that or another incident of it and start suspect that it is an MOC.

I keep hearing how Jason and Carly always had each other's back. I can't come up with a time when Carly had Jason's back? They are dragging things out by Jason not just telling Britt it is an MOC. That's where he is hurting her the most. He supposedly never "lies" and lies of omission always count as lies in soapland. Britt might not like it but he can trust her to keep the secret and at least let her know that no matter how much he cares, the mob comes first.

I might have said that the she-beast is first just as an appendage of Mooby being first, but then it might have been that Jaysus got himself involved with Carly on his own - goes back to when I first watched the show and so long ago now, so it's gotten unclear. He did work for Mooby, but the plot with trying to keep Michael from AJ seemed to be underway before Mooby got involved. I just remember being so bored by the scenes of Mooby with the she-beast on the island where they first got together and got married and then planned for Mooby to play Michael's father rather than Jaysus.

After the marriage, she may try to seduce him. Long, long ago, there was a scene where Carly tried seducing Jason and he refused, saying that they fought when they had sex, and them fighting was bad for Michael! (Michael was a baby then).

Very bad and unimaginative writing! Trying to make dramas out of nothing: Ava and her absurd notion that she will have to get a divorce to keep her daughter safe - how is that going to make a huge difference? And now we see who is doing it, so she's going to look really stupid for not trying to figure it out and just obeying the stalker. The Cam apology tour over Jason is another one. Just not a good story on any level. Even the biggest Borg fan must cringe. I was going to say the baby switch was OK as at least it had the difference that the mother's knew what they were doing. The old trope about putting your baby first does not work where you fail to support the plan to make her safe, and where you have other children you neglect. The MOC would be a lot better had they not brought Britt in. At least so long as Jason does not explain in full to Britt and have some motive of his own that is imperative.

I loathe the idea that a soap opera should have a "star." It should be an ensemble.

Perhaps for the Michael fans, if there are any. Some Sonny / Carly fans might be at one remove? But it's the system being so unfair to him because of the color of his skin! All the black and female judges it has now don't make a darn bit of difference! Doing it on purpose to get back at the SheBeast might make for some good scenes, especially where Smike takes her side. SheBeast trying to convince Smike he is Sonny and he not remembering so preferring to be with Nina - the SheBeast would explode. I remember hearing "Billary" and thought that might be a very early one - early 90s when Bill said we'd be getting two for one in the Oval Office.

I thought that too - even if it broke, the broken pieces could have traces of the antidote. And if Valentin has some, it could be analyzed. I'm pretty sure Finn will come up with it at the last possible minute.

There isn't a lot of Sam and Ava interaction - "Aunt Ava" - I haven't heard Sam say that. But then I don't always pay good attention.

That'd be nice, since Jason said he'd go back for her. And Cyrus is still out there, so he should warn Britt. Soap characters blame others for convincing them. Maxie, Liz, etc., all adults who could make up their own minds about Peter no matter what Anna said. Someone has been watching "Call the Midwife." That show has several scenes of the midwife massaging the not-crying baby and the tension until the baby cries. Portia complaining that divorcing Marcus does not mean she won't come across any violence again - lol. Move out of Port Charles.

Sam should have been playing that in a flirtatious way. Lighthearted or smiling, teasingly. It is difficult to believe there is an attraction, which I suppose is what the show was going for.

Nina is supposedly doing a story for Crimson. A story about Nixon Falls. She could be shown calling in to the office briefly, which would help. The story is drawn out enough to make one forget. A person who has the marker will definitely get the disease, then? I recall Arlo Guthrie was at risk for it. Maybe that was before the marker could be tested for. Now per google, Arlo does not have the gene, so he must have gotten tested. He had two sisters who died of it, though.

Put together like that it makes me realize how lacking in creativity the writers are. Molly in the DAs office - she might actually prosecute Jaysus or Mooby. Stolen art for Ava and the gallery.

Hilarious - Secaucus is on the eastern side of NJ, so he had to float out into the Atlantic, around Cape May and up the Delaware River. Maybe it's a writer's joke after they got so much flack for the coast of Bolivia!

This is soap opera Canada, which on GH has always been a lawless place. There's no extradition treaty with the US and no attempt to stop US criminals from entering. Soap Canada would never be so bureaucratic as to require a card and wouldn't have passport security for its documents!

I laugh at how in GH's planet, all you have to do to escape prosecution is get over the border to Canada. Is there a WTD with Michael possible?

IMO it was mainly that Jordan knew Cam personally. In reality no cop is going to lower their gun with the other person still pointing it at them. I wondered if they meant to show that is what cops are supposed to do - get the other person to calm down rather than shoot, which is not very reasonable in reality where things happen in a split second. Yes, Sonny didn't have to take so many calls! I guess She-Beast has a learning curve. Yes, they took so long to reveal who it would be - I was getting sure it was heading into Michael/Willow. It was nice it was Dante and that he was looking so good.

I haven't felt like they are relegated to the sidelines. Jordan and Curtis, Taggert , Portia, Trina. Black characters on soaps are treated equally in that they are usually professionals and the interracial relationships aren't shown with issues that have anything to do with it. It's as if it is an ideal land where there is no racism. One is a doctor and the other a police commissioner. And Trina's problems come from the fact her father is a cop. As shown on GH, the police commissioner is a black woman and Taggart is a cop/detective, so the characters here would be more attuned to the dangers to police and how they put their lives on the line everyday. Exactly. If they'd done a story about it, that would be different. The story about TJ - was that even shown on screen? And false accusation happens to the holy hitman, who is the character most often supposed to be the victim of cop injustice. The mini-she-beast realizes she is selfish. But she only mentioned her volleyball team, not Cameron and how she ignores his loss to be judgmental about his not feeling the holy hitman's innocence. What they should do with one of the mob kids is have them rebel rather than enable the mobsters. There's more story in that.

Jason left and had a motorcycle shop when Michael was a baby. I liked that era, but then Guza came back and of course Jason had to go back to the mob.

That soap trope about how women should get away with lawbreaking, because it would be a hardship for their kids if they paid any price for it. Olivia lecturing him about that was obnoxious. Agree, I thought it was a nice escape to have a land where there was no Covid, which was how GH was playing up to that. It is annoying to have it be so horrible for Cam to think Jason killed Franco. Just to have been wrong about that is not THAT bad - it's like you are supposed to just know when the holy hitman is really guilty or not, and if you can't tell, you're a bad person? Dumb. Yet everyone including Cam seemed to accept that idea.

Back then the deadline for spinsterhood would have been much earlier. Even in the 80s, the media was telling us our chances of being chosen for wifedom started going down at 25! (It was because men prefer a younger woman, even though the population was roughly 50.50 - so we were still being told it was only their choices that mattered). In the 60s, it might even have been younger, so maybe it's not a surprise that the aunt thinks Trixie is getting too old to land a husband (yuk).

More propping of their own plot. Nina was going to tell Carly but the SheBeast lit into Nina, justifying Nina not telling her. Now we have the further idea that PC is peaceful justifying it. Maybe that's why it sounds forced. We know Nina will go under the bus for keeping Sonny from his grandchild - though "Mike" would not know him. Soaps always have someone mouthing lines like that as if the amnesia doesn't matter.

Very true, though they might ignore chemistry as they often do for the idea that Sonny regains his memory and has to return to such a state of affairs. When someone loses their memory, their SO often ends up with someone else so they can have a triangle. Maybe Jax will get roped in again. At least for once the baby switch will be known to the parent (Maxie). And the parent conniving in it. Thanks show for at least making a variation on the usual plot.

I did too. Midol and aspirin did nothing. My mother and her family had a weird idea it was a character defect. She finally did take me to a doctor when I was close to going away to college - I did not want to have those cramps and only have a dorm room. The doctor put me on the pill, (suggesting also that "having a boyfriend" would solve the problem - I don't know why sex would help with cramps?) which solved the problem entirely. My father sent articles on the dangers of the pill (back then it had risks, but mostly for women over 35 and smokers). He may have been afraid I would take advantage of it, but I was a shy kid for whom sex was out of the question - too scared, even knowing pregnancy would not have been a threat. Later in times off the pill, Advil was on the market and it did work pretty well to quash them. I felt really bad for Sr. Frances. Being in pain like that, especially in the middle of the night, is miserable. At least there was a doctor lurking around!
