I realize I've spent way too much time watching the 2011 Jocelyn custody battle between CandyBoy and Carly/Sonny, my fault entirely, and I'm not entirely sure why that particular Carly story has grabbed me so thoroughly, but be that as it may, I usually watch it starting from Carly kicking CandyBoy to the curb when he comes home from being BrenDUH's hero in London and lying to Carl;y about it to the judge shutting CandyBoy down in the ruling hearing so thoroughly it's like an arrogant Richie Rich kindergartner getting exactly what he deserves. One exception I do take is when BrenDUH is leaving Sonny, she tells Sonny that CandyBoy is actually a decent human being, unlike in BrenDUH's intelligent opinion Unstable Liar Carly. (I really did enjoy it when Jason shut BrenDUH down when she tried to spout that tired line in front of him. He told her basically to STFU and it was glorious.) After CandyBoy woke up from his drug-induced stupor and he couldn't get a hold of Alexis, he summoned BrenDUH to his side. When CandyBoy was explaining to Det. Domestico what Sonny had done, CandyBoy forgot a few words in his explanation of what Sonny was going to do. "If I did not stop pursuing the custody of my daughter, he would destroy me." That's a goddamn lie and CandyBoy gets away with it. Sonny said share custody with Carly. Sonny wanted CandyBoy to stop pursuing SOLE CUSTODY of Jocelyn. So lying CandyBoy and dipshit dumbass BrenDUH get to be the supposed arbiters of morality in this twisted tale and that just makes me SICK.

And CandyBoy bribing the mediator first, or not giving her a high enough bribe so that Sonny could easily outmaneuver him, that's Sonny/Carly's fault? Not listening to Alexis when she tells CandyBoy over and over and over and over that the court wants to grant shared custody and Carly is looking better and better to this court, that's Sonny/Carly's fault, too? The apex of CandyBoy's arrogant stupidity, though, was when he says "I'm not scared of you, Sonny" to Sonny's face as if CandyBoy forgot what Sonny's capable of. Sonny is a "violent thug" after all. smdh

To me, Jax is and always will be CandyBoy who ran out of town with his tail between his legs when he lost custody of Jocelyn. He's used to people doing what he wants when he wants because of his money and his looks/charm., but he has the unfortunate habit of underestimating his adversaries and insisting that he's right and has no need to adjust his strategy. Scratch the surface and put a little adversity in his path and he turns into a self-righteous, arrogant prick.

Yeah, it's just so damn predictable. Now that Michael has Wiley back and Carly will have to go through yet another trial for something she didn't do, I can save myself an hour a day and just watch selected YT clips. smdh

I realize they have to creatively dress Carly because of LW's varying waistline, but why do they have to put Olivia in the same kind of figure-disguising granny dresses? Ugh.

I'm starting to despise Nelle for her endless repetition of the "Brad stole my baby while I was unconscious" lie as much if not more than I despised Robin for her endless repetition of the "I did the right thing" excuse for her betrayal of Jason re: telling AJ about him being Michael's paternal DNA donor.
