I guess I'm pretty alone in this (what else is new?! 🙂), but in no way do I think Curtis not telling Portia about kissing Jordan is on the same level as Portia keeping the secret about Trina's paternity for 20 years! They were on a break! And while he did move back into the house, he's sleeping in the guest room, a clear sign that all is not well just yet. I have no problem with him wanting to wait to tell her until he had a better sense of whether or not he wanted the marriage to work out. Now if they'd kissed and made up without him saying a word, that would be different. Anyway, just my opinion.

I used to like Portia, but between her desperate attempts to salvage her marriage and trying to sabotage Sprina. Plus, she provided aid and comfort to the woman who tried to send her daughter to prison! I get that she had to give Esme medical care, but she didn't have to give Esme ideas about putting something over on Spencer. I just can't with her anymore.

Yeah, the anvils were dropping HARD today. The Sonny-Snarly reunion is coming. I suspect they'll be back together in time for November sweeps.

But no one practically genuflects in her presence, they way the do with Carly. Ave doesn't have a posse of enablers who act like she's never set a foot wrong in her entire life. Everyone in PC know who Ava is, what she's done, and her only friend is the woman who forced her into labor. She may not be any 'better' than Carly, but the show doesn't pretend that she is the way they do with Carly.

I'll root for Ava's downfall when this show finally stops allowing the Carlys and Sonny to get way with all of their BS instead of letting them swan around Port Chuck like their stuff doesn't stink. Which means I'll never root for her downfall. Actually, Ava is a perfect example of how to write for an imperfect character. She's done some awful things, but she's also had some horrible things happen to her. She may not have dealt with direct consequences for her actions, but she's not skated by and now treated like a beloved icon of truth and beauty.

Sure, but remember this is the same show whose main 'heros' are criminals and the 'heroines' make excuses for their criminality.

My thinking exactly! What lazy writing. Nina is too smart to do this. She should have gone to them and told them to get Willow to accept her or she'll turn them in. Andy only go the SEC if that didn't work. What seems about to happen is stupid.

i like her. YMMV

Yes! That's what made the most sense to me too. Stupid writers.

If the Nic storyline is going where it seems to be, I am NOT here for it! Lazy writing all around and doing this to Ava AGAIN after 'killing' Esme a few short months ago is just... stupid.

The only reason I'm not on team 'die, Willow, die' is because i'm looking forward to the day when Willow and Nina reconcile, and Carly has to stand there and take it!

I suspect that after the initial shock wears off, the members of the Carly cult will her as heroic for revealing the secret once the truth out about Willow’s leukemia. Carly will never face long-term consequences for her sins.

I find this show pretty boring now so I'm going to stop watching until it gets interesting again. I'll read recaps so I know when to start watching again.

I co-sign all of this. Kristen is at the top of the list of heinous characters on a show choc full of them. At least the writers give some of the others like Zander some small glimpses of humanity, while Kristen is just pile of vile.

I find this show so unpleasant right now. First and foremost, I'm at a loss as to why TPTB thought that I'd want to root for Zander and Kristen?! They're both so unlikable, and I don't care about their 'pain.' That said, Zander has show some shades of humanity, while Kristen is just a walking ball of crazy vitriol. Abby and Chad are... zzzzzz Sorry I dozed off, much like the actor who's play Chad is sleepwalking through his performance. There's NO ONE likeable to root for (other than Gabi for whom I'll ride or die with from now 'til kingdom come!) Watching is just so unpleasant.

Stepping off the barge to ask if anyone mentioned to Carly that Nell and Brad kept Michael away from his child like she did to A.J. No? Going back on the barge to find a lounge chair by the pool and order a cocktail.

I love Dianne, but isn't this something she should have anticipated?

Try the NBC app. I watched the two episodes that were pre-empted there.

Avenging Gabi is the only reason I'm still watching this show. I don't give two shakes for any of the other characters. I'm looking forward to her wreaking havoc on Lani's life. Hoping it's pure soapy goodness!

Maybe it's all the years of watching GH that makes me not mind Ben's serial killer past. As someone said above, at least he owns it and had a mental illness for which he's been treated. That differs from GH where the leads are stone-cold (see what I did there, GH watchers!?), unapologetic killers. Rarely a week goes by where they don't threaten to kill someone for, you know, 'justice' reasons. Ciara is the one that's most on Ben's side and others are coming around, which is okay by me. As for Eve, no matter that Clarie's family did or did not see what was happening to her, Eve did! She KNEW the girl needed help, and did nothing, which lead to the possible deaths of two people. Her grief does not excuse this. If anything, her behavior dishonor's her daughter.

If these writers had any talent, the reveal could be extraordinary. Michael finding out that the child he thought had died was being raised by his cousin should cause him to reflect on what his own biological father went through. But the writers are terrible and so the denouement of this story will be too.

Gotta disagree on this last point. Ava knows who/what she is. She's even tried (unsuccessfully) to be 'better.' But the same cannot be said for Carly. She does not think there's anything about herself that needs fixin.'

Not watching and not gonna watch. But in reading about today's continued propping of all things Corinthi, the tone deafness is just astounding. Here they all were mourning their dearly departed while mocking Margeaux (sp?) for wanting justice for her. Just astounding.

This right here is why I'm done with this show. There's no longer anything keeping me around with enough counterbalance to make the awfulness of the Corinthi palatable. I'm no longer going to subject myself to this... morally bankrupt, tone deaf writing. I'm out.

Aw, Carly is out of... wherever she was. I was hoping that would last until November sweeps! And why would the D.A. (sorry, can't remember her name) tell Sonny to his face that she's coming after him? That's just dumb.
