Thanks! I also apologize to all for double posting. I was trying to merge them but it didn't work. I was on the barge since the days of Holly, Robert, Anna, Luke, Sean and Tiffany, Robin and Stone. Nice to be on land for a bit!

I don't know if Alexis is juvenile in relationships, but I haven't seen her in any before now. It seems to me that she and Gregory are having a friendship relationship with playful attraction around the edges, and so it's different from his friendship with Tracy. . Why couldn't Avery go to the wedding again, and please clue me in about the barge?

So did I. JE and good writing bring such layers to Tracy. I really like how she shows sympathy and friendship to Gregory without pitying him. I liked how she said she was going to wipe the floor with him when she won again. That is treating Gregory like a regular person and not an invalid.

Maybe she was! That would make more sense.

Today is my day of not liking nearly everything, along with everyone else. Starting with Lucy. Her slobbering all over Blaze was uncomfortable to watch. It just seemed so desperate. I also dislike how neither of them talked to Sasha before they replaced her. Martin should be disbarred and sued. What a coward he is. The line holding the sword over Nina's head just broke, and she is in for it now. I dislike that . I dislike that Carly works in a restaurant with her hair flowing freely. Drew: I don't want Scout to see me in prison. Drew: I don't want Scout to see me in the hospital. Drew" Who's Scout? I have skated way past dislike for Michael. What a little weasel. Of course Willow and Wiley had to come back when he did. Willow can't make move 1 without him. What a controlling little weasel. I dislike that Sasha is leaving. I like her. Blaze had a flimsy excuse for showing up in exactly the same place as Kristina, but it seemed a bit stalkerish to me. Also, about Sam, who stands in the middle of a restaurant with her arms open, so Carly had to run to her?

Didn't you just want Sonny to go over to Michael skulking in the corner staring daggers at Nina and slap him upside the head? A couple of times? I did.

That it would, but there were so few people there already! I would not have wanted Nina or Christina to be poisoned, and Sonny and the kids maybe only half poisoned, but it was really too bad the cake didn't spell doom for Michael and Willow! Also Willow must be in the privileged group to be able to jet off to Puerto Rico after being back at work for all of 10 minutes, all right.

Well, well, well, the tension mounts. I too was surprised that gunfire didn't break out at the wedding, though I thought Michael's head was going to explode. Too bad it didn't. I missed the memo that put him in charge of everyone's business, as in who reported to the SEC, Nina's right to breathe air, Willow's relationship with her, etc. I expect his coronation will happen soon. I also think that Portia acts too much like a teenager to be believable in her position, and running home midday to tell Curtis isn't an adult thing to do. Stella seems to have some kind of death wish to treat Selina that way, doesn't she know Selina is a crime boss? Maybe that is why Felicia is going to be a patient advocate now, if Selina has Stella taken out! What is Cyrus up to now?

Thanks, I will do that!

Today's, Oct 12, episode, didn't DVR, so I wasn't sure if it aired on the West Coast or what happened. It sounds like it aired elsewhere, so I missed the wedding?

I've mentioned that I am a recent returnee, after not seeing the show for ages and years, so don't know Lois either, but I already dislike her coddling Brook Lynn and blaming Tracy for Brook Lynn's actions. It was completely on BL from beginning to end. She was false with Chase and committed crimes at Deception. She is lucky they didn't press charges. I liked the scenes with Chase, Gregory and Finn. I was glad they stopped the blaming and "you didn't tell me," and faced the situation maturely together. I do think that it wouldn't hurt Gregory to get a second opinion though. I really appreciated how they showed the men able to express emotion verbally and with close physical contact. Back in the day that would be unthinkable.

I agree. Sasha had to be kept in an unstable state to extend the conservatorship, during which Gladys had access to her money, some of which she owed Dr M.

I know the Quartermaine side of Tracy is ruthless, but there is more to her. She is good with the kids, especially Leo, and I think she would do anything she could to help Gregory. There is kindness to her. I agree that JE is FABULOUS!

I get that, but it still makes no logical sense that even that resentment would suddenly cause Molly to explode with hatred for Kristina's very existence, and everyone just thinks it's all good. IMO it still is in the land of unhingedness. I said that very thing seeing that scene. It wasn't "Willow's decision," as Michael said, and he would never let her go anywhere without him. Gregory is not stupid. He is trying to deal with his own pain and terror, and does not want to inflict that on his sons. I feel bad for all of them, it's a very difficult thing.

But on the other hand, while I don't remember everyone who has witnessed Molly lose it at the sight of Kristina, but I do know that Alexis has, Alexis who told Molly she is perfect, while saying nothing about her behavior, denting Alexis's credibility IMO. Also, TJ has seen, and he says nothing at all except yes, no, whatever you want, Molly. His credibility isn't good either. I do remember that TJ's mother was at the announcement dinner that Kristina wasn't asked to, and she may well have wondered why, but wouldn't think it was her place to mention it. Then, even if it was an offscreen issue, I can't think of anything Kristina could have done that would warrant the level of viciousness Molly treats her with. So my conclusion is that Molly is emotionally unstable, bordering on really disturbed, while being coddled and enabled by those around her. If I were Kristina I would tell all of them to go pound sand.

I didn't pay attention to their scenes, I bypass any sex scenes, so I don't know about their room, but a suite does consist of at least two bedrooms plus a sitting room as you mentioned.

More of Charlotte's tricks!

I don't know if they think he is some delicate flower, but maybe he is sensitive, and Gregory isn't sure how to tell him, or how he will be with Gregory after he knows. I can't remember how Finn found out but I do know it is not about being some evil plot to exclude Chase. It's about Gregory trying to handle his worsening illness and his sons' feelings and his own feelings and doing the best he can.

This is why he was reluctant to tell either of them before he had to. I know Chase is upset but having a tantrum because he hadn't been told yet was really immature. It's not about him. I really hated Sonny asking Michael if Willow would want to come to the wedding, and M throwing out every excuse he could think of, before asking Willow, and then when he did, made it clear he didn't want her to go. Anvils dropping all over the place with Sonny going to everyone in person to tell them about the wedding. Will there be a plane crash? If so, could Gladys, Dr. M and definitely Michael be on the plane too?

I didn't think that Sonny was actually going to hurt her, though I agree, she certainly thought he was. He did say that if she put one quarter in a slot machine, he would know, and she would be toast, so I figure that he is going to have someone watching her. Is public gambling legal in NY? Maybe she will go to GA.

I've wondered about that, I knew Selina was all "pay me now or else" and yet Gladys is still alive, so I figured she must have gotten her the money. She possibly could be redeemable in future in regard to her character, but I don't think Sasha should ever forgive her.

How long have Gladys and Sasha been on the show?

Not irredeemable? Angry for a while? Did you miss Gladys's stealing of Sasha's money, allowing Dr M to imprison her and drug her to keep access to the money? Sasha could have been killed. She could have really hurt someone in her drugged out state. Why would she EVER "come around?"

I am sure all her bad doings will come out during Dr M's trial, and charges pressed against her. To Pentonville with her! I didn't think she looked half scared enough in her scenes with Sonny.

Well I was very glad to see that they didn't just skip over the last two episodes. I liked that Sasha helped rescue herself, and I misjudged Janice. She came through. I hope they snagged the syringe! I didn't know exactly what Sonny was going to do with Gladys but I don't know how just shipping her out of town will guarantee she can't hurt Sasha anymore. I don't think Gregory has been treating Chase like a child. Different people have different personalities and things going on in their lives, plus Gregory had good reasons for holding off on telling them, plus it's only been a couple of weeks since Finn found out. In the end, it is Gregory's wishes that matter, not Chase's. It's no one's fault that he found out from Tracy. I really like Gregory's and Alexis's friendship. That hot yoga class looked horrible. I KNEW Victor was behind Charlotte's evil deeds. Anna needs to lose Valentin, he is pathetic and untrustworthy.
