Lucky had better step up and drop the dime on Kristina. Ric might foggily remember seeing her at the crash scene, but that doesn't mean anything, and it's Ric, so no one will believe him.

Hello, Ms. Self-Proclaimed independent Woman.

Yes, but my point was more that this is a story that doesn't need to be wrapped up tomorrow. Unlike, say, the interminable Gio story that still hasn't gone anywhere yet is being dragged out so long that not even Gio will care when the secret finally comes out. I was wondering that as well, but maybe because only one car was involved there was limited followup? Oooh, maybe that's how Sonny gets a new heart. Ha!

Elizabeth to Deana in her hospital room: "Tell me you're here to smother with with that [pillow]." Hee. Wanting something folded a certain way is not being a control freak, Show. Lucy in Nurses Ball organization mode is my least favorite Lucy. I wonder if Drew is going to force Portia to tell Kai that the surgery is a good idea. I was hoping that Molly would unknowingly torture Kristina about the accident by saying how worried she was for Ric and Elizabeth, but it looks like this is the story the show decides has to be told as quickly as possible.

Beecher's Corner, heh.

The teen set isn't developed beyond plot points. Given the range of acting abilities, I'm not upset, but from a soap point of view, you need to keep the generations going. They have enough SORASed kids to start doing that. No matter how many times I see this, it astounds me. I suppose you could bring people in and do reshoots if you absolutely had to tweak a story, but I imagine the Days budget isn't much more generous than GH's.

So do I. As soon as Baxter said to let their psych talk to the mom, I got sad we wouldn't see either of them but some rando.

She's a brunette, so he'll smarm on her soon enough. Yet neither of those things will cause the dolts to take the kids away from the other. II don't understand why the show keeps pushing this idiocy. There's no drama in it.

Riley came in awfully hot on the volleyball coach. Price and Maroun looked surprised when the husband's testimony turned his wife's illness against her. What did they expect? Nolan shouldn't make threats he won't keep.

Willow was worried that she'd lose custody of the kids, especially once the Qs started interfering. Neither she nor Michael's terrible choice in sexual partners has anything to do with custody, thought the show keeps trying to make that a Thing. As if anyone cares anyway!

If the show is going to do a custody battle, can it please base it in some realism? No judge is going to give a mother full custody of her kids if an estranged husband had a baby with another woman. I'm tired of Portia's whining. If you don't want to be blackmailed by Drew any longer, tell Curtis everything. I also want Drew to blow Portia's cushy life apart. stop threatening and start doing something! Play Sonny like a fiddle, Jens!

There's no way Sonny is making it out to LA for the surgery; he'll drop to the floor somewhere in Port Charles, no doubt becoming the first person to enter the Dr. Monica Quartermaine Cardiac Care Center. Here's hoping he drops to the floor in the most public place possible, so everyone knows how vulnerable the Eastern Seaboard's most fearsome mobster is.

Gio's reaction to Emma getting arraigned was a bit extreme. No one forced her to join his protest. But of course she has a sealed record for deeds done in California. Sasha gets stupider by the minute. The time to make conditions and vague threats is before you shake hands on the deal, you dope. Sonny's "oh, GOD" expression when Carly and Brennan laughed their way into the restaurant was hilarious. Same. It's like a bit of Patrick Mulcahey's influence crept back in. How did Eva La Rue piss off Makeup? Her face was a mess. I thought Tracy asked Emma if she liked her lawyer, saying "He's one of ours." Same here. Though it seems Tracy now has a law degree, so he wasn't needed.

True! It's always fun to see who is being forced to participate and/or clearly doesn't want to be there.

An entire week of the Nurses Ball? This might be the week I don't watch live so I can FF through everything that gives me secondhand embarrassment, which is the vast majority of the acts.
