I think after Game #2 was changed, he couldn't tell anyone what the remainder would be. As it is, some of the players already think he's full of baloney, despite his efforts to ensure they live. Agree that there's a lot of gambler's mentality here - they can't imagine that they will be one of the ones to die, so as long as it is someone else, they're ok with it. In-Ho's story seemed to be a mix of truth and fiction - the bribe part sounded authentic, but since he was on the island 3 years ago, clearly his wife either died or lived without his input, so that part of his backstory is either history or made up.

Antoine is definitely up to something. He's going to get his recording of the meeting one way or another. Without telling Bella, he may get away with it.

Lulu: Now Gio has a family Me: He had a family, you twit! You've just made him feel that was never valid, and instead he gets the prize of being a Quartermain, which isn't all that great for everyone.

I don't think that was a lame excuse. I think that was what she really felt. IRL, I suspect that this kind of thing happened all the time when there was more of a stigma about being so young and pregnant. Even now, depending on the woman's community and family, being a young single mother might not be well accepted. Intrafamily adoptions might be the way that people could "solve" two issues and keep the child from being "lost" when they were given to someone unknown. Where Lois went wrong, I think, was in never letting Brook Lyn know what she did and why - making it more of an "open" adoption, so no one would be blindsided later in life.

I think that the panel is going to roast Weiner (no pun intended), because his misconduct outweighs his party affiliation. He will have to do a lot of penance to overcome his bad reputation, but perhaps this is the start of his contrition tour.

Who is Lulu to "give someone time" to reveal personal information about their own family? Supposedly she felt that Dante "had to know" about the child (who is no longer a child) but she went the extra mile to figure out the identity of that child. If Dante and Gio were still on good terms, it would be traumatic enough, but they aren't - Dante has gone over the top to blame Gio for not getting Rocco help quickly enough, so there's a lot of negative feeling between them. Naturally, that would be the time to back off until everyone cools down, but instead, Lulu gives Lois an ultimatum about telling Dante about something that has absolutely NO urgency involved. Why not say something like, "I am having a really hard time keeping this secret, and I'm afraid I'm going to let it slip, so you (Lois) need to finally come clean in a way that works for everyone involved."? Instead, she takes the aggressive tone and threatens Lois. As for Gio, this is life changing, and would be under any circumstances. This was NOT the best way. There are lots of people who find out that their family is not what they thought it was. (Personal note - that's one reason I've never wanted to participate in one of those DNA programs, because I don't want to hear anything I don't want to know).

Joss, especially, should have some understanding of what it's like to have private things put out in the public for everyone to gawk at. Or has she forgotten her humiliation with the so-called "revenge porn"?

Wow, Lulu confronted Lois with her findings as if she just cracked Watergate or figured out who killed Kennedy! Too bad in all this, she didn't worry much about Gio's feelings. But she's not much for empathy.

I think that they need to do several things: Examine what happened with Biden with the goal of changing / improving whatever processes, policies, strategies led to this failure. In my former career, this used to be called the "post-mortem" part of the development cycle. Not always comfortable, but things that are highlighted as errors or misjudgments can be addressed for future success. Using the data from the "post-mortem" as well as any "lessons learned", the party should develop a more cohesive and stable platform and recruit new potential candidates. Looking forward is the right thing to do, but if you don't know what went wrong before, you might end up making the same mistakes.

If only Lulu could find something suspicious, dangerous, or illegal going on in Port Charles to investigate - then she wouldn't be reduced to investigating who Dante's baby is. It isn't as though there aren't any number of people in PC who didn't know who their parents are, and look how they turned out!

Maybe a move to sell a fake deal to Freddie, but is it a lie? Did Freddie die because he now knows the truth and couldn't be trusted not to share that? Gina? What are you thinking? Maybe I'm just too old, but Eddie is not desirable in any way! He's not even charming or funny to offset his looks.

I think Ashley didn't really want to live with Derek but felt obligated due to his accident. Now, she's irritated by everything he does, even when he's trying to be helpful. Not that Derek seems to be any prize, but he seems to be an ok guy. Ashley needs to either come to terms with living together or tell him that it is too soon and he needs to get his own place.

Just like Drew on GH! No wonder the country is in a mess - no one bothers to show up for work. How do they expect to get reelected?

While it is old news, I think that the issue is that he was basically forced to step aside because of this, and that indicates that the Democratic party leaders allowed the charade to go on long after it should have ended. That, to me, indicates that there were/are problems that haven't been addressed and corrected and need to be if they want to succeed in the future. I do think this contributed to Trump winning, because enough voters lacked confidence in the DNC and its candidate.

So, Lulu knows how angry Dante is with Gio about Rocco's overdrinking. Will she attempt to help them reconcile BEFORE she blows up the secret, blurting out to Dante that he has 2 sons? You'd think that seeing the antagonism now she would back off her crusade to do Dante a favor by letting him know that the guy he really hates right now is actually his son. As they say, with friends like this, who needs enemies?
