Have they tried looking in Genoa City? Everytime someone yells at Franco-Drew expecting Franco to emerge, I picture an old VHS tape of a wedding, taped over with a broadcast from a football game, and someone watching it, yelling at the TV to show the first dance and reception. Nailed it! I've gotten to call her "Sam-del", an anagram of "Damsel".

Future "Sam-In-Distress" scene:

Lulu: Waaaah! I can't give up on Dante! Our marriage is the bestest, most special EVAH! Laura: Lulu, dear, I love you, but here, hold my wine glass.... Props to show for bringing up L&L, whose wedding was THE EVENT, and did end (albeit in part because of TG's frequent vacations), but Laura did have a Second Act with Kevin (and a very nice old fogies relationship with Scotty). And my hand is tired of bitchslapping Lulu for thinking Dante getting treatment is somehow a disservice to their marriage and he should be home NOW. Can anyone take over?

According to TIIC, it's both.

Stupid sex-cult storyline of Shiloh destroyed my initial hopes and dreams that DoD was a cadre branch of DVX and Shiloh was working with the mind-control and mapping. NOW they bring it back? I'm not sure even the DVX want his skeeviness. I thought Nina drank it. She got stupid drunk awfully fast. How can we notice?

The viewers.

If I were writing, I'd make it that it was Dante who had a flashback, grabbed the gun and shot the agent (who deserved it for carrying a gun around a person with PTSD). Explanation for why Dante can't return home - he's too dangerous and remains off-screen. Why does Dante, suffering from PTSD to the extreme, have a loaded weapon in a WSB secure facility? (Although we didn't see Friday's episode, and we fanwanked it that Peter and Maxie walked into another set at ABC and discovered a VERY pissed Bachelorette.)

With Jason/Sam and Brick/Spinelli, 45 seconds tops.

Well, I gotta give props when due. So, good for this show for hiring someone with CP. Maybe it's because I have CP myself and can relate. But it's cool to see more representation. (I do remember way back in the '80s that an actress with CP on The Facts of Life played Blair's cousin. But that was, as said, ages ago. And really, I could see where her character annoyed. Not because of the CP, but because the dialogue she was often given was so damned preachy some of the time.) Geri Jewell. And if you ever get the chance, watch "Deadwood". Very different, irreverent role. Are they really going to have Willow miss her court date because she's being blockaded from leaving the classroom by well-meaning parents? Might as well hogtie her and sit on her for subtlety.

And, now, we see it was all in the bag, with Kevin playing possum. Again, no Sonny/Jason saving the day. It was a group effort. Too bad Show has to force the Foursome onto us.

Jason would have called up Spinelli to hack the kidney out of Ryan, and Sonny would have framed Jax for stealing it. And Carly would have used it as an excuse to keep Ava away from Avery.

It's no "Off the coast of Bolivia", but Drew and Kim should have been in Arusha rather than Dar es Salaam, about 400 miles away.

"Mon-a-vieeeeee, Mon-a-vieeeeeeee, bless my poop juice forevvvvvvverrrrr….." (To the tune of "Edelweiss")

You know, for all the other possibilities to make Ryan give up his kidney that Show would do, Unleashing the Stella was pretty epic. Threats, torture, pain, and bad-gas mumbling has its place, but Ryan met his match with nagging. We've seen Stella in Full Rage Mode. I'll accept it.

"Bring out yer dead!...…"

And the implication I got was that he did it all the times in between. He's a serial plagiarist.

Yea, THANK A LOT, Show Promo Person! Next time, preface the Series Finale of Newhart with a bedroom scene....

It made sense when Lila came back for Edward and they walked up the stairs together. That was really sweet. But, you're right. It made no sense for Oscar. They had never met him. They had never even met his father. Are they actually just hanging out in the house their complete afterlife? Again, it would be sweet of Lila to wait for Edward and then go into the light together. But, since we kind of saw that, it begs the question of how they came back yet again. Unless they just went upstairs and they're haunting the place. Which is sad. Cue whatever your favorite paranormal show to do an investigation at the Q Mansion. (Hello, AJ! Are you a demon??") FWIW, I was expecting Oscar to be escorted up the stairs by one of the long-gone Qs. So, I'se got nuttin. Was Emily not in the Crypt? Liz was a bitch with a bitch attitude when they were in high school, so.... Bitch+Liz=Biz.

By threatening and/or torturing Shiloh? Those two aren't known for restraint. But if anything happened to Shiloh, that would <sonny>shatter... Kristina.... shatter </sonny>, so Sonny and Jason are going to "bring Shiloh to justice". This is Show's way of 1) keeping the plot line from ending too quickly and 2) saying only bad evul people go outside the law to exact justice, and Our Heroes (stop laughing) would never do that. (Jason tailing Ryan all the way to Niagara Falls and shooting him just to incapacitate part of a long list of exemptions, of course)

Michael is the only person who could give the common cold as a STD.

When Sonny was bemoaning that Krissy was drugged and what a lowlife Shiloh was to do that, I thought I heard a collective "KAREN FUCKING WEXLER!!!" in the Force. After Laura and Ava laid out the ground rules about Kevin and that Ava would never all for Kevin, I expected them to break the fourth wall and tell the audience, "We don't care if Ava and Ryan had hot chemistry! Ava and Kevin ain't gonna happen!!!"

Sorry, but when I hear the litany of things that Shiloh/Dawn of Day do in order to isolate people into its orbit, I keep asking "And this is different from the Sonnyverse…. how?" Especially isolating family members and that the cult is the new family, and then I remember what Sonny did to Jason and ask, ".... and this is different..... how?"

He did beat up Franco in front of witnesses and broad daylight and got away with it, so, there's that.

Conversations I want to see: Cameron talking with StepGramps Scotty. There's a lot of Scotty in Cam, and he, rather than Franco, can attest and relate. Joss talking with Robin after Oscar finally goes off Upstairs at the Quartermaines. She lost her first love to an illness as well. Also, I think Krissy's Big Secret is that her grandfather tried to freeze the world. Unless it's there to prop up Sonny/Jason, and then there's Dante, but he/the WSB needed Sonny's help.

Those that think Franco should have told Liz: Knowing Show, how soon before Liz would have told someone else, and how soon before she would have told Kevin/Ryan? Yeah, Jordan's plan was stupid, but at least it was restricted to "Need to Know", as opposed to the plan she had which she told Sonny, who told everyone else close to him.
