Well, Because Robin's a terrible, terrible person for leaving her family behind and not coming home when her daughter was in a terrible accident. Therefore, she doesn't merit a mention.

A sweet little T&B story, set after PP ended: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9939213/1/A-Christmas-Surprise

I am saying it now, I have no problem with the baby being named Neal. It makes sense and keeps his memory alive for Henry, who never got to say goodbye (and yes, I was a SwanFire fan) and it's a way to honor his sacrifice. So much for a "splashy" wedding. As a Rumbelle fan, I was a bit disappointed. And I know Rumple's lies will come back and bite him. I always love Rumple and Emma, and this was the best of it. It was great at the end, when she convinced him to take the potent to preserve the future. It's going to be getting a little cold next year in Storybrooke, methinks. I just hope they did get Kristen Bell for Anna.

Michael is Carly and AJ's son, the product of a one night stand. She was involved with another man (her stepfather at the time) and after an argument with him, she went looking for her friend, Jason, but found AJ. Both got drunk and, tada, Michael. But she told her boyfriend that the father was Jason and Jason went along with it. Jason's girlfriend at the time, Robin, knew the truth and eventually, told AJ the truth. Carly decided to marry AJ then ruin him and run back to Jason. But as that was going on, Jason got close to Elizabeth Webber, which Carly saw and ran into Sonny, who she got into hate sex with and was knock up again. When she came clean to Sonny, she left AJ and as she was walking down the stairs at the Q mansion, got into an argument with AJ. She pulled away from him and fell down the stairs, loosing the baby (but if you as Carly and Sonny, AJ pushed her down the stairs). Eventually, she had to marry Sonny and they did eventually fell in love. A few years later, she got pregnant with Morgan, but was kidnapped by Sonny's brother, Ric, then rescued by an enemy of Sonny's, Lorenzo. As she went into labor, Sonny found her and Lorenzo and, assuming she was being harmed, fired a gun. It hit Carly in the head (but didn't kill the bitch, damnit) as she delivered Morgan. Eventually the reconciled. Sonny also has a daughter by Alexis, Kristina (off at college) from a one night stand that Carly witnessed. Alexis hid the fact that Sonny was the father, but it came out when the little girl needed a bone marrow and a match was found in the unborn child of Sonny and his latest mistress, Sam, who eventually miscarried the baby (but I think they were able to use the marrow). It was later revealed that Sam was Alexis' daughter (by now, revealed to be Julian's from a teen ONS). His firstborn son is Dante, from his HS girlfriend (I think) Olivia (but he was also dating her cousin, Connie). Dante grew up to be an undercover FBI agent trying to take down the mob. He infiltrated the organization and when Sonny realized this, shot him, after which Olivia told him the truth. Truth be told, I was on the barge around the time Dante was introduced. But I was around for most of the rest of this shit. Oh, and to round out the Corinthos Family Hour, Carly has a kid by her last husband, Jax, a little girl named Josslyn. Not seen much, as Carly's busy screwing her latest POA, Franco, who was responsible for getting her son, Michael raped in prison, making it look like Sam was raped, tying someone else to a bomb and kidnapping Joss. But it was ALL because of a brain tumah. But someohow, Carly is still, the BEST MUTTER EVAH! And Sonny is the best father too! Except for the fact that he's shot one son, gotten another one shot (Michael), nearly blew his daughter up with a car bomb, screwed his son's girlfriend,

I agree with you about how much Carly has been marginalized/been put into a bubble with Franco, though I am not laying down any money as to how long Ava stays around herself.

BestestAuntEver, unless I can find and edit of them alone, no, I am not subject myself to that shitpile. And it's not like it's gonna last. AJ should have been in Sonny's face for years like that, not posthumously.

I haven't been able to log on to DD (for other reasons), but I heard that they shut down the insiders lounge thread there earlier this week, after someone reported them to Varni. And this is the problem as I see it. They are worried about little things like this instead of honest issues bloggers and fans have brought up. They are applauding themselves for the praise of a few and dismissing the criticism of what I think is a majority.

Excellent thought! One thing though...did Tracy forgot she gave birth to twins? I'm not convinced it the way Franco's written, but more the way RH plays him. He has a longstanding reputation for wholesale ignoring scripts (JPL recalled a story a few years ago about RH going that going back to 2002-03 and the producers allowing him to do it). I haven't seen yesterday's show and I probably won't as all reports were how bad it was, but I'd go more off how LW played Carly. If she's playing it straight and he's not, he's shitting on the scripts.

Another gem from PP: Viki asking Todd about his life in Port Charles and his "there was a woman, but there's not now, but that's okay. She was real high maintenance". Summed up the travesty from GH without naming names and cleaned up up nicely.

I know Dr. O is performing and Magic Milo is back. Oh, and the all important Cam/Emma tango.

Great scene. "You know how easy it is to buy a gun in this town? Of course you do!" God, did I love Todd when he first hit town.

I have to find it funny that, if that Latina role is Sobby, they say she's from Mexico. Has Ron forgotten more of the story he's written for her?

My absolute favor, bar none, from GH is (paraphrasing because it's been years): Alexis: A very dry martini. Pour the gin and visualize the vermouth.

Actually in WS, when I saw the holographic mask, I thought, "There Ron! That's the way to do a mask!"

"Leopard skin is the fabric of desperation!" Any time I see anything leopard print, it just jumps out of my mouth. In fact, I said it so often, my mother has beaten me to the punch a time or two. God, I was robbed of so much Todd/Viki/Tina time! And nothing with Vic Jr included! Those four would have been a riot together!

BTW, according to the latest cable guide spoilers, Sonny does have the nerve to show up at AJ's funeral. Monica is, not surprising, none too please.

And add to the fact that LW stated she had no idea about the Three Carlys visit until just before it taped.

I knew too, I did read some spoilers, so I knew someone high up was a traitor. I thought it would be Hand, though Garrett was not a surprise. And I am calling it now, Ward's been brainwashed like Bucky Barnes was. It is seeping away a little bit. Best episode since the pilot. Some many good twists. Really feared for Fitz there but I loved the reaction shot of all of them (even Garrett) when Skye decoded the Hydra message. Though, by the end of the season, can I get a Fury/Coulson "'Bout damn time" scolding?

Now, I would like to debate that. As least one pairing is because of CHEMISRTY!, remember? Cranco. Cause, LW and RoHo just ooze it! [/sarcasm]

I have wanted to see the reaction of the Avengers to Coulson being alive since AoS began. Thor was the closest to him, Stark had a grudging respect for him, Cap was fanboyed by him and yet, none of them know yet. I also want to see the reaction of the Avengers to Fury's ongoing agenda.

I don't know. I can see Coulson referencing the song. He has an appreciation of older things (see his Captain America trading cards and Lola.)

I saw WS yesterday and have a few theories of my own. 1. Nick demanded Coulson be brought back to life more for the reason that, besides Hill, Coulson was the only other person Fury trusted implicitly. Remember in Avengers, he told them Coulson was his right hand. He didn't even seem to trust Natasha or Steve as much. And, I think, going with that, Hydra wanted to know why and how Coulson was right back to life and Fury didn't trust his superiors with even that information. 2. The Clairvoyant is Zola. He had access to everything on the agents (except Coulson's "recovery") and that was how he knew all. Also, the Clairvoyant has top level security. So did Zola after the war. (I also think this will be tying into AVengers: Age of Ultron). 3. May may have been unwittingly feeding intel to Hydra. When she was being accused of treachery, even she seemed confused by the accusations. 4. I think everyone on the Bus is pro-SHIELD. (I don't want to think of FitzSimmons as baddies!) The only one I could see as turned is Ward, as he shot the Clairvoyant. And he could have been brainwashed, as they seemed to be doing to Barnes, wherein he was being confused by what he remembered and what he was being told.

The sad thing is, more and more, the only "cure" I can see for the show is to lay it to rest. And I was distraught at the idea of the show being cancelled in 2012 without hitting it's golden anniversary. But as the legacies of the show thin out, the writing gets worse, the underwear models infest the show...I'm sorry, but I just can't. I don't see how FV maintains a budget with all the casting calls he put out. I can't see how RC gets away with being an ass and throwing temper tantrums on twitter. My morning radio personalities here in NYC had a piece yesterday (4/3). It seems as though ABC News is looking for a fourth hour of GMA similar to Kathy Lee and Hoda. They even surprise auditioned Maria Menunos for the show and according to the report, would pair her with Lara Spencer. Now, ABCD's new chief is the current head of the news division, but he doesn't take the job for a year, I believe. But, I can see him having this brainstorm and I suspect he may be gunning for the time slot. The report also said Spencer/Menunos would'be be up and running for another year and a half to two years...well within the time that ABC has confirmed GH's status and hinted about their status.

One of the many things I love about NF is, he is very willing to embrace his soap roots. For the 10,000 episode of OL, FV took a chance of asking him to reprise Joey Buchanan, I think expecting him to say no. NF gladly came back and was wonderful (I especially loved the scene of Viki with her sons at Joe Riley's grave.) And he and Dorian...they did not miss a beat. Other GH actors in other roles, Corbin Berenson (ex-John Durant, aka Slagbeast's dad) appeared on an episode of Castle playing the leading man on a soap where the head writer was killed. Which was a cool episode all around, even with RB and CamMat in it as well. Hey, Martha Rodgers was in a soap! That's cool enough for me!

I'm just about getting to my breaking point. I want to stick around for Ned (and I think he may be running into Alexis, so, as an old school Nexis fan, I want to see that. I figure I will catch what I can, not bother with what I don't and ease myself on the barge. The last thing I want to see before I go is the rise of Michael Alan Quartermaine. And the cherry on top would be Morgan joining him at ELQ after Sonny marries Ava, if the spec is true.
