I wish they'd have Ava do whatever it is she's biding her time to do. It's gross to watch Sonny continually treat her like dirt and she takes it.
Why doesn't she move out??? They aren't exactly romantically involved, and supposedly the only reason she's there is for some kind of protection (from who, again?), but she's out and about everywhere, so if anyone wanted to hurt her (and she's working on making that list longer), they could do it anywhere in PC.

Joy says they are Brian's sister wives. Brian internally re-examines his life choices which brought him to this point and decides it's better than being a middle-aged rent boy.
Hahaha! This hasn't been on in my time zone yet, but I'm looking forward to it!

Sadly, menopause is when the estrogen gets depleted, leading to brain fog and crankiness - hence all those stories about old "wicked witch" types. Options for relief have issues, perhaps in the long run. :-( I also think Joy needs to get new material sources, because she's not as funny as she thinks she is.

Late to watching this show, but the book that this reminds me of most is "And Then There Were None" by Agatha Christie. That gives special significance to Rufus' admonition to pay attention to the details.
I'll admit I haven't figured it out yet, because everyone I've suspected ends up dead (see also the book) but in spite of Mandy's very weird accent, Imogene's hair that stays in place no matter what, and the many red herrings, I'm going to stick with it to the end.
(Can't be worse than A Murder at the End of the World, which was very disappointing)

JMO, someone on twitter said that Finn DID sign a contract to that effect, after his whole drug addiction storyline. I don't remember it, but if that's true, then they got him. Of course, it's highly likely "the historian" doesn't remember it, because no one has mentioned this onscreen right? And without that contract, this is all ridiculous.
I would imagine that there would have to be policies around something like this, and procedures. Too bad Finn quit, because he might have had some lawsuit material if this all grew out of information from a third party (Liz) rather than actual observed behavior on the job. If you're going to hold someone to an agreement that they can't drink, you'd think there would be some built-in methods to verify that, not relying on what is basically gossip.
Having said that, I think that Finn is being very self-destructive, and he needs some kind of intervention. I just don't think that Terry and Portia did a good job of addressing this problem. IRL, I suspect that many people who have people in their lives who abuse drugs or alcohol face similar problems; you can't force adults to do what is in their best interest and you can't take everything into your own hands. I will be interesting to see what the writers come up with for this.

Shallow comment - Taraji Henson's dress makes her breasts look strange. Why did the designer decide to make that one shoulder dip so low??

It's not that I blame Whoopi for not knowing certain aspects of history (for lack of a better term). I blame Whoopi for refusing to acknowledge the fact she does not know, nor does she understand certain aspects of history. Does the Holocaust debacle ring a bell?
I agree with you. Her attitude about the Holocaust was worse than uninformed - I think she never recognized that her perspective was so narrow. Now, she seems to be taking the position that it is other people who are not bothering to "learn history", and not acknowledging that a complete understanding of world history is a vast undertaking and most people will never accomplish it.

A guy changes his name just before he runs for office - that's not a red flag, is it? It seems so cynical. Why not run with the name you've been known as? If I were an opponent, I would be making the comment that it seems like he's trying to "buy" the election, whether he claims he doesn't need contributions or not.
Just what is Portia supposed to do with Elizabeth's info about Finn? Surely, she can't just take someone's word for it that a doctor is abusing alcohol. Elizabeth is sharing in good faith, but what if someone just wants to torpedo another doctor's reputation? There has to be some kind of investigation, doesn't there? In the meantime, maybe Finn will straighten out - or not.

Whoopi tells the audience they need to know history. Pot. Kettle. Black.
The thing about history is that there is so much of it! You can become well-informed about one topic or era but be completely ignorant of another one or even some aspect of something you are familiar with. You can't rely of schools (especially public schools) to provide in-depth (or even superficial) coverage of everything and everybody. Heck, they can't even manage to teach English and Math to a deep degree. You have to seek this stuff out for yourself.
And - don't blame people if they don't know the same information that you know. Share the knowledge, don't assume that they are deliberately ignoring something.

I’m not a fan of the Heater story but I did love Alexis bringing up Diane taking on Franco’s case and how getting him off could set a precedent for Heather. Diane certainly never gives a damn about the murders and attempted murders her clients have committed and the effects it has on their victims/families when she represents them so it’s nice to potentially see the shoe on the other foot when it’s something that happened to her.
So true - Diane hasn't shown any concern about any other victims of Sonny or Jason, etc. and would have said she was "just doing her job" (which is true), but now she wants everyone else to just let Heather's case be, because she was the victim. And everyone else who has been complaining to Laura should also consider how they felt about Sonny et. al. getting off so many times. I think that Port Charles has a population deficient in self-awareness.

the gift would be for her, not for the baby she will (supposedly) hand over to her sister and her domestic partner.
I thought that was strange, too. Why give a baby present to someone who is not going to have the baby for more than a few hours after giving birth? Is Kristina supposed to hand over this present to Molly when she takes possession of the baby? Or will Kristina hang onto it as a memento so she'll have something to focus on when she's feeling depressed and deprived?

What an odd mashup of Shark Tank and … I don’t know,
The Apprentice
My thought, exactly! Make the contestants create something "exciting" in 24 hours with little guidance or experience, score them on it, and then "fire" the person on the losing team who may be the least effective.
My other question was, if this is a contest for Food Stars, why is there so little emphasis on food?

Does TJ actually think that using a surrogate that is not related to them would be easier to deal with than Kristina? Can you imagine him trying to tell someone that they can't see their father or what they can and can't do? I think that person would tell him where to stuff it! Also, do they have a contract for this? I can't believe Alexis wouldn't have insisted that they draw up a contact with whoever is the surrogate, outlining expectations and responsibilities. If there is a contract, Kristina should be getting it out and highlighting all the issues.

I liked that Alexis pointed out to Laura that Laura couldn't control the outcome of Heather's case if it does get reopened, and that could mean Heather being set free. But I wish this whole story would be dropped without another word. It's so dumb.
Virtually everyone Laura has talked to is worried that Heather could go free, but maybe Laura dismissed that because they just butted in. Perhaps Alexis' opinion will make that concern a little more concrete. Of course, I think that a lot depends on which lawyer Laura chooses to bring this issue forward. If she's clear about what she hopes the outcome to be and doesn't hire some hotshot who wants to just "win", it could be fine. Of course, no one on this soap will do anything that sensible, so look for Heather to be out later this summer. :-)

Joss is a terrible lifeguard. I don't think she looked at the pool once. Don't life guards usually have a specific location to observe the pool from?

Finn's chat-up skills are hilariously terrible.
indeed! If that was his impression of a "fun" doctor, his "dark and brooding doctor" must be nearly catatonic.

They could have done a lot better with the "previously"! As commented, they went too quickly through everything, and I could barely figure out who was who and what exactly happened. I didn't go back to watch a couple of the season 2 episodes before watching this one, so perhaps if I had done that, things would have been clearer.
Overall, it was an ok episode, setting up threads for the season. I did wonder, though, how using a big explosive on the Aryans (?) would play with real world entities like the news, police, and the public. Where I live, even car chases get coverage (followed by criticism), so how is it that all major news organizations weren't flocking to town, asking questions?
It did seem clear that Mike and Iris are no longer a "thing", so it might be time for her to move on.
Also, what was with Kyle dropping his wife off to have the baby and then returning home for the hospital bag? He just left her there? Why not just call home to have Mike or Iris look for the bag and bring it to them? That was a puzzler for me.

Ugh I liked Finn's dialogue yesterday about not being an alcoholic so I was bummed that they had him doing shots today. Yes lying and drinking are what alcoholics do, but I don't believe he is an alcoholic just because he had a drug problem before. Not interested in that story.
Even if Finn isn't an alcoholic, as a doctor he should be aware that after not drinking for a while, alcohol will hit him harder than it did before. He did have that sip of champagne and at least one drink of bourbon (?) but doing shots like they showed is bound to make him buzzed. He shouldn't be driving or taking care of Violet at this point.

Whoopi was rewriting history, perhaps as she'd like it to be? WACs and other female military personnel weren't in combat like Normandy invasion. They did serve in some hazardous situations, but not in actual combat. I'd also like to emphasize to her that we (the U.S.) aren't the only ones to "not always get it right"; no one "gets it right" all the time, and some never get it right. Additionally, what is "right" at one point in history may turn out to be "wrong" in others.

Heaven forbid that Sonny might say something that would incriminate him if Diane isn't there to "protect" him.

I don't watch basketball normally, but that video looked like this was purposeful shoving, not a question of overzealous play. That looked like a playground bully pushing someone over to establish dominance. I'm surprised that some of the ladies seem to be rationalizing it as if this is something that shouldn't be disallowed.

Exactly. it's not like she's going to be free, at best she'll be moved from a maximum security facility to medium security.
It's a fundamental part of our legal system that if a person is not mentally responsible for their actions, we don't punish them for those actions. To take that away would take away some of our humanity. Portia going all Karen and going to Molly while Curtis talks to Laura doesn't make me think much of her intelligence or his. (That social media is almost entirely against Laura for this tells me how badly this storyline is being written.)
What I found odd was that Laura stressed to people that she wasn't asking for Heather to be freed, just investigating the situation, but everyone assumed that Heather would be wandering the streets, causing havoc. I think Laura is in a difficult position, because there is a lot of responsibility in being the Power of Attorney (either for Health or Financial, or both), and you have to be acting in the best interest of the person, not what you might want to do yourself. Even if Laura finds some reason that Heather should get a new trial, that doesn't mean Heather wouldn't still be imprisoned. Although, the various places for incarceration in Port Charles seem to have very porous boundaries, and prisoners sometimes end up in the hospital under the watch of a single bored looking guard while everyone in town traipses into their room.

It is mainly for those reasons but I have never had my luggage searched getting off a plane. No doubt it would be different if they were driving/walking to & from Russia and these other places but nobody is, whereas the USA/Mexico border that you talk of is a major & somewhat troublesome land crossing for drugs etc. and also comparing what the USA border guards do on that border & what other countries do at airports.
Admittedly, this was a number of years ago, but I recall returning to the U.S. from overseas business trips and our luggage had to go through another X-Ray machine before eventually ending up on the regular baggage carousel. Additionally, the Customs agents do a quick interview with people entering the country, although citizens and members of select (friendly?) countries go through different lines. I have seen passengers have their luggage searched. At the time I assumed they were looking for drugs, because the guys being searched looked like stereotypical drug users.

Everyone is intent on getting Laura to stop her one-woman Innocence Project for Heather. Although, since Heather really did commit those crimes, maybe it is more of a "Mitigation Project". And no one seems to understand that no matter what Laura does, she isn't the one to either a) argue that Heather was unable to distinguish between right and wrong or b) decide what the outcome might be, and none of those people (primarily Portia and Curtis) are in a position to make that decision either. Going to "fight" Laura on it? Exactly how? Perhaps through social networking?
Also, how will they all react when PC's favorite mobster is also shown to be influenced by his medication (or lack thereof)?

Maybe I was a little hard on Brittney Griner for overlooking that bit of THC in her luggage. Lately, there's been a number of tourists to Turks and Caicos who have been jailed for having ammunition in their luggage. I guess many people don't empty their luggage completely after a trip! It is also strange that these things don't seem to be found when entering the country, but when the people are leaving, which seems backward to me. Why would customs care about items that aren't allowed in-country when you are leaving? Clearly the workers manning the incoming stations aren't doing a terrific job if everyone is accidentally bringing these things from home.
Still, I think you should be more alert when you are going to places where they are very clear that there are severe sanctions for having some items when you travel.

The View: Week of 6/24/2024
in The View
I suspect it is hard to verify, and who wants to take a chance for the sake of a study? For example, I used HRT years ago for some time but then stopped. Years later, I had breast cancer (all good now, thank goodness). I can't prove that those things are connected, and they may be coincidental, but now I definitely can't have any estrogen enhancers per my oncologist.
