I don't know what's so significant about the tarot cards. And I say that as someone with a couple of decks of my own from my adolescence.
Today was pretty fun, with Robert knowing how to get Anna out of her funk and Thanksgiving at the Davis' as well as the Quartermaines. (Do we know who Uncle Pete is?)
If Charlotte was telling Nina the truth and she only spray painted Anna's door and trashed her hotel room, then she isn't so far gone. Victor put her into a boarding school on another continent and kept her father from being able to see her. Then he visited her and poisoned her mind that Anna was destroying her father and only Charlotte could save the family. A child who was already missing her mother, now losing her father, and with those flawed Cassadine genes, it's not so surprising that she became delusional.
If the next episode is Carly' family Thanksgiving, see you Tuesday, new episodes.
7 hours ago, dubbel zout said:Color me surprised Scout is spending the holidays with Drew.
With the other girls, Donna and Avery. I'm pretty sure that it was arranged by Carly as Hallowe'en was.
7 hours ago, dubbel zout said:Now that TJ has decided to be a neurologist, I wonder how involved he'll get with Gregory's case.
If it had been Michael, he would cure Gregory's ALS. Or figure out that he was misdiagnose and is going to survive.
4 hours ago, perkie1968 said:Do people hold conferences on Thanksgiving?!!
Medical conferences tend to be excuses for exotic vacations for doctors. It makes sense to have it on a holiday anyway so that they lose less time from their practice.

Didn't he used to he CEO of ELQ till Valentin did his takeover? There was a loy if resentment fron the Carlys when Valentin made himself CEO. The Sam gave the CEOship of Aurora to Michael.
1 hour ago, perkie1968 said:Also Liz, I love you, but tone down the snark towards Anna. Anna needs to shout it from the rooftops that Charlotle is a mini sociopath so that everyone can stop pooping on her and realize the extent of what really happened.
Liz needs to pay attention since her son is dating the mini sociopath.

But what motive could he possibly have?
There were sketchy things going on back then when they were excavating the North Sea oil. Michael said that many divers lost their lives back then.
The timing is also a red flag because it was at that time that Annika's parents decided to leave Scotland and go back to Norway.
But purely speculating here, I think it's a Norwegian red herring and Magnus came to Scotland to meet with former CI Drummond but wasn't the one to kill her.

Drew has the nerve to call Ned arrogant? Pot, locomotive.
Drew: "People act on raw emotions like anger and spite..." Ironic that he is saying this about Ned to Carly who reacts on raw emotions like anger and spite more than anyone else on the show.
Why does Diane have to meet Finn at the Metro Court to tell him that she can't take his case? I know it's more interesting visually but silly for a too-busy lawyer,
I bet Mo was enjoying Sonny being able to threaten someone (Cyrus) again.
Anna was brutal breaking up with Valentin.
LOL at Gregory explaining to Finn that there had to be indicators about the cancer early on.
Even if Finn loses his medical license, he can still do research. Isn't that his calling too?
Why is Curtis telling Jordan that she's the perfect person to tell about his new enthusiasm rather than Portia, his wife?
I really like Jordan's new haircut, much more professional than her previous look. But IIRC, wasn't it Laura who figured out that Victor was in Greenland, not Curtis? Curtis and Sam have to be the worst PIs on TV.

There is nothing that SuperMichael! can't do. At least according to Carly, Willow and Drew.

It still can. Esmé and Ace move out and Spencer can't deal with it, so he kidnaps Ace and goes on the run.
They could, but it's less effective now that Spencer has agreed that he needs to step back from controlling Ace.
1 hour ago, Artsda said:So if Spencer slept on the door, how did Joss get out to go to class?
Knowing Joss, she just stepped right over him.
44 minutes ago, nilyank said:Drew needs to take a chill pill. I don't get why he is so itching to get ELQ away from Valentin
Back during the first attempted takeover, Michael convinced Drew that ELQ needed to be controlled by the Quartermaine family and Drew apparently has a problem analysing the big picture. Unfortunately other than Ned, the only Quartermaine left with enough brains is Tracy but I think Michael and Drew would rather have Wylie run it than Ned or Tracy.
46 minutes ago, nilyank said:I also still don't understand if Aurora is so successful how is it that Carly cannot leverage all that Aurora stock to try to buy back the hotel. I know that the merger failed and Carly ended up having to pay 5 million to SEC, but she should still own that Aurora stock that she bought.
That's an excellent point, one the writers apparently missed. If Aurora is that successful that it can take over the much larger ELQ, Carly's stock has to be worth a lot of money now.

I wonder how long Spencer's attitude about this will last, especially when Esmé and Ace actually move out.
As long as the writers need him to be.
I guess the regular writers didn't like the storyline. It's too bad because it could have led into NC's absence to shoot his other show.

On 11/19/2023 at 9:47 AM, marinw said:Fever Dream: Well that got tied up neatly. Felt like a series finale. The six month flash forward with a seemingly healthy Mags and Bash seemingly still working at the same hospital.
It did feel like a series finale but I hope not. Previous seasons have had 13 episodes and with the Canadian TV awards it's garnered, I don't know why they would cut it short.
I suspect that many of us have a Mark in our lives, someone who is his own worst enemy but you just can't hate him because sometimes he does a lot of good.
I thought that the opening with Mags being wheeled into surgery was very well directed. I remembered that feeling, the fear and the wish to just go under and get it over with.
The coyote attack struck home with me. There are around where I live and it's frightening for those of us who have small pets.
Every time Mags' family appears, I resolve to brush up on my French. And I never do.
ETA: a mini Forever Knight reunion with Catherine Disher (Dr. Natalie Lambert) playing the outspoken lady with the congestive heart failure and Torri Higginson (Claire) who played a suicidal vampire in one episode.

Yes Liz, Joss, who doesn't know the difference between methanphetamine and methylphenidate, is doing to be a great doctor.
Is Adam going to attempt suicide with the thanks to Joss. He should not have been released without a psych consult and follow-up referral.
Spencer did the 180 so quickly, I thought that it was a fantasy scene. Or maybe the regular writers undoing what the interim ones had written.
It's far too soon for Ned to tell Drew and Michael that it was Nina. Good stall. But in reality, the Board of Directors would have given Michael the authority to act as CEO. If Michael didn't go to them, then he really does need to be canned.
Drew: "That is proof that Ned is unfit to run ELQ." You mean because he doesn't kiss Michael's ass?
On 11/18/2023 at 11:56 PM, Winston Wolfe said:My take regarding Austin: when the victim bleeds from the mouth after a shooting or other trauma, they are usually dead, dead, dead (TM Trelaine, The Squire of Gothos).
That brings up memories!
ETA: I like that Blaze's reaction to Kristina leaving was "I hope her family is alright", not "how could she leave when I need her?"

"Because I deer-ly love you" Oof.
It took two watchings before I got that. This show is so good.
9 hours ago, possibilities said:I was getting suspicious of the [Annika's] boyfriend wanting to move in-- so fast! Doesn't he have a house of his own? Who is this middle aged professional who has absolutely no apparent material encumbrances and would just move in like that? He walks around with a backpack like a runaway teenager.
Yes!!! Anyone who wants to move in so fast has got a ton of baggage that we haven't seen yet. (Also I'm pretty sure that having a relationship with Annika much less moving in so soon is against psychologist's ethics rules.)
Morgan: I'm the daughter of a detective."
Annika: "Two detectives."
I hope they avoid a pissing contest over Morgan between Michael and Jake. I want everyone to get along, and I'm a fan of Astrid.

Now that's a cliff-hanger. And for help, Annika turns to the audience.
There is a 'blink and you'll miss it' moment when they are throwing pictures up on the screen and Annika says "And we need to look at him" and it's a picture of Magnus and Morgan, and she says that no, not him and tries to take it down.
They did well casting Sylvie Furness as Morgan. She's good an in the interviews aired after the show she showed a surprising depSth of understanding.
I couldn't remember where I had see then actor playing Nair before. Looked it up, he was MacBuff on Upstart Crow.
Six episodes a season are not nearly enough.

I was thinking about Adam. He should drop out or pick a new major. The stress is not going to stop after organic chemistry, or pre-med, or medical school.
I don't think that he's the one who picked medical school. His parents told him what career he is going to do and what medical schools are acceptable to do it in.
If they stopped putting pressure on him, he could easily get into any kind of graduate or professional school he wanted.
I don't think that Spencer is applying logic to his plans for Ace. It's all feelings and his sense of loss in his own life.

Curtis: "You see in any romantic relationship. you have to be very clear about what you want and what you're willing to put up with." Yes Curtis, I remember that you wouldn't put up with Jordan keeping a police secret but your relationship with Selena being secret is A-OK.
Carly: "I saw Nina having a very intense conversation with Martin Grey." Carly "Alice Kravitz" Spencer sticks her nose into another private conversation.
Willow thinks that Carly needs her hotel back to "balance the scales" aka Carly getting off scot free from her decisions yet again. At least Carly wasn't willing to take Michael's Quartmaine or Joss' Jax money to buy the hotel back, even if it wasn't because she done their father wrong.
Joss Jax Relationship Counsellor.
I don't know what they ar trying to do with Robert but anything that keeps him away from Diane is okay with me.
Interesting cliff-hanger. Is RoHo moving on to another character now? Is there a recor for this?

As someone who is prescribed ADHD medication myself, I hate these storylines of college kids addicted to it.
21 hours ago, ffwbe said:I heard that line and laughed. Whoever wrote that isn’t well versed in pre-med students. I took Organic Chemistry in college and while it’s known as being a tough class, most students pass after the grade is curved or drop the class if they think it’s hopeless.
At my university, the first term tests for physics 105 (pre-med physics) was deliberately set to make the class average 32% to encourage people to drop the course. Sneaky.
16 hours ago, Daisy said:isn't organic chem the make it or break it class for pre-med students? as in if you fail the first time chances are there isn't a second time because you're kind of hooped?
It's a tough course but I think that's because there is a lot of boring memory work. I do know someone who failed the first time and still got into medical school.
Or you could apply to McMaster and skip all the pre-med science courses.

Molly's initial hysterics doesn't touch my cold dead heart. One third of fetuses spontaneously abort which is why we didn't tell anyone about my pregnancy till five months. At the end of the episode, when she acknowledged that she went over the top, I liked her.
Maura and RoHo looked like they were having fun in their scenes.
"There are 100 kids in our organic chem class and 90% of them fail the first time around." What kind of rinky dink university is PCU?
The words Joss is saying are right but there is an element of condescension in her voice that negates it all. Enough of the mutual Joss/Dex propping.
Adam's desk is so small, no wonder he can't get perfect marks on his exams.
Adam: "No dad, I promise that I'm not doing that any more." Cue the Adderal abuse storyline.
Mo son is doing a good job, I think that he's a better actor than Joss and Dex.
Sasha/Cody is giving Liz/Finn a run for their money in the adolescent relationship stakes.
56 minutes ago, ffwbe said:Also, I know I’m nitpicking but Sam’s insistence that she can see through every con artist because she used to con people herself is tired, especially since the people she thinks she has some special insight into usually are fooling no one.
And she doesn't get Charlotte wasn't conning them, she was conning Anna and her father.
Sam's explanation is pretty clueless because she is not factoring in Great Uncle Victor at all. As a Cassadine, she should know better.
Anna's documents on the old WSB agent being missing doesn't make sense. Either it's him, or it's Charlotte. Don't make it unnecessarily messy.
15 hours ago, mostlylurking said:I was actually thinking Andrea was faking the miscarriage. It just seemed so sudden, I thought maybe she decided she wanted to keep the baby for herself?
With TJ as the father, the baby will be biracial. Unless Andrea's husband is black or biracial, there will be questions.

The lying on Austin's part was just saying Cyrus was too frail for prison, I believe.
Austin testified that Cyrus was unable to physically attack another person so they let him out.
Which was stupid because while Cyrus is an older man, he's still a mob boss who can order any hit that he wants.
8 minutes ago, ffwbe said:I’m all for women making whatever choices they want to make but Molly’s dialogue about how she was thinking about leaving her job once the baby was born because she would rather focus on the baby and her relationship with TJ goes completely the character we’ve seen growing up.
I think that she said that she was going to look for a job that isn't 80 hours a week because working so much she wouldn't have time for TJ and the baby. Still, TJ's job is 80 hours a week or more and he's not going to step back.
I knew a couple where she was a medical student and he was a psychology PhD candidate. When they wanted to have children, they worked out that they would alternate taking a year's leave of absence to take care of the kids and both managed to complete their degrees.

I thought that it was a not-bad filler episode. I hate the Robert/Diane teasing the her conversation with Alexis was pleasant enough So was Molly and Kristina getting along.
I don't love Sasha/Cody but I don't mind it as long as it's not another adolescent relationship (e.g. Sasha can't work with Cody because she has feelings for him). Nice to see Maxie get a win as a businesswoman.
I think that Cyrus faked his heart attack to get out of jail, as Austin referred to when he said that he had lied for Cyrus.
Speaking of faking, I wonder if Andrea was faking the pregnancy. Otherwise why go to Mercy instead of GH where TJ and the OB who did the fertility treatment work?
I hope that Kristina won't be her surrogate now. The best reason for not using Kristina, that she won't be able to separate herself from the baby, still applies.
7 hours ago, dubbel zout said:I didn't understand that, either. Carly has so many other people falling over themselves to help her that Sonny is the last person who should be offering.
And this. Who cares? We should have seen Elizabeth and Finn work together on a patient who died and then the lawsuit happens. Oh, Show. You never get the right end of the stick when it comes to stories.
2 hours ago, dubbel zout said:Curtis, meditation has been around for millennia. Just because you've discovered it recently doesn't mean no one else has. His astonishment that Marshall meditates cracked me up. It's not as if Marshall is dancing naked in the rain under a full moon.
And if Curtis had done his research, he would have known that meditation is a recommended therapy for psychosis, which Marshal believed he had.
2 hours ago, YaddaYadda said:This show skips from A to B, goes straight to Z without catching a breath.
For the characters it doesn't are about. For those it does, like Carly and Michael, their vendetta against Nina will go on forever.
Today I was thinking that they give good moments to those unvalued characters, like Curtis musing on losing the ability to walk or TJ mourning to loss of his baby, but they are not built up well enough and often lost because of how terrible the characters were in previous moments. Cognitively I understand but he was such a bastard to Kristina for no reason, I can't feel for him now.

Carly: "In some ways, the Kelly's is a better fit for me than the Metro Court." A rare moment of insight from Carly.
Esme telling Spencer that the four of them (him, her, Ace and Trina) should get a little house together was funny. Spencer naturally calls Trina but he really should be talking to Kevin.
I'm glad that the Charlotte story is moving along.
I thought that Finn being sued was more realistic than this show usually gets.
16 hours ago, susannah said:I didn't think Chase was being self centered at all when he and Gregory were talking. He was just letting Gregory know that he wasn't alone in his pain and his fear, that the were all in it together.
As someone who has been sick, this hit a nerve for me.
I understand Chase wanting Gregory to protect himself as much as possible, in a way it's like Spencer wanting to be there for Ace. But if Gregory wants to deny his ALS for as long as possible, that's his choice to make and Chase shouldn't be pushing him to use a cane so that Chase can feel better for taking care of his father. When your time is coming due, it's the quality of life you have left that's important. I can see Chase objecting to items on Gregory's bucket list because there is too great a chance of him getting hurt.

Drew: If Ned hadn't been such a weanie and the merger had gone through, I would have been the majority shareholder in ELQ.
Huh?First of all, ELQ is a much, much larger company than Aurora. And second there are other shareholders in both companies so there is no way Drew alone could have been the majority shareholder in ELQ. His business sense is terrible.
3 hours ago, dubbel zout said:Interesting that Michael doesn't consider how Sonny might feel about Michael if Michael rats out Nina. This would be one place where Sonny's "it's all about me" would make things more interesting.
Kudos to the writers for the consistency in Michael's entitlement and ego. He believes that he is the most important person, along with his mother and kids, and so Sonny would naturally support him over Nina.
3 hours ago, dubbel zout said:What does Michael have to do with Nina selling Carly half of the MetroCourt? Nothing, but somehow he's such a business genius he needs to be involved?
That was one of Michael's demands for keeping quiet, that Nina give her part of the Metro Court back to Carly. Nina protested that she tried but Carly wouldn't take it and Michael threatened that she better find a way.
Nina telling Carly to check with Michael was her way of pointing to Michael to her being a good girl.

Nina lives with Sonny who is a master chef and owns a coffee shop. Nina owns half of a hotel with a gourmet restaurant. Why is she going to Kelly's, owned by Carly who hates her, to pick up breakfast?
I liked Yuri's metaphor of inanimate objects (trucks, whisky) in country music as metaphors for relationships. I remember someone commenting at the Canadian country music awards last year that half the songs were about whisky or other alcohol.
Laura needs to fill in Liz so that she can warn Jake that Charlotte is a little psycho. Poor Jake. (I'm struck by how much the Jake actor looks like SBu.)
Martin: "Michael is a very formidable enemy and he has a target taped on your back." Sure Martin. I'd say 'vindictive' rather than formidable but you do you to get out of your ethics violation.
Michael uses the 3 year old court case to justify hating Nina. If you have to go back that far, maybe don't be so convinced that she can't change.
Chase: "Dad, I know this is happening to you but it's also affecting me and Finn." Wow, what a me! me! me! position. If Gregory wants to deny the seriousness of his condition to his children, let him.
Drew to Michael: "Your stewardship of Aurora has been extraordinary." And now these two jokes are going to take over ELQ, a much larger company who should have both Ned and Valetin fighting them. Could they be any more dunderheads? They shouldn't be in charge of a pet much less a multi-national corporation.
3 hours ago, CeChase said:The Ned story isn't over yet though, and won't be until he remembers recent events, and spills on Nina.
I had enough of Nina being the town pariah three years ago, maybe four, long before the Sonny amnesia and now the SEC stuff. Such a turn-off to this viewer.
45 minutes ago, Cabarb said:Why do I have a bad feeling that when Spencer leaves to go film his movie, the storyline will be that he kidnaps Ace and goes on the run?
