I'm surprised a slap fight between those two didn't break out.

I hope whoever's in Lulu's bed is enjoying the hand rubs with lotion. I had to stop and think why Cody would visit Dante and Lulu at GH. That relationship has been completely ignored. Michael E. Knight is returning as Martin, and I bet he'll become Alexis's lawyer. For a town with so much crime, PC has a real dearth of defense lawyers, heh. Maybe Sam getting bumped off isn't such a bad thing for her right now. She has to deal with one son's deadbeat dad, her partner's comatose ex-wife might come back to consciousness, her mom is likely to be charged with murder and is pressuring her to look after one of her unstable sisters... That's a lot for one person to deal with. I wouldn't expect otherwise. Jason doesn't care about the damage he's doing to his kids. His attitude is it's basically too late, so why start now? He was. They're really leaning into the animosity between Ric and Alexis. It wasn't at this level when he left, and there was no reason while he was gone for things to escalate. What's wrong with cooking for the Qs? Sasha has said more than once how much she pleasure she gets from seeing people enjoy her food. Being a private chef is not a demeaning job. Tracy is being a terrible snob by thinking it is. (I know there's more going on there, but it's still gross.) And wanting to make Cody happy? That's Sasha's choice to make. I love how Alexis's mess is now somehow Ric's fault. Sonny is such a jerk.

Ah. I don't have Insta, so I can't read those threads. Thanks for the context, @YaddaYadda.

I think everyone took a pay cut at some point there, so KeMo certainly wasn’t the only one.

He looked like a little boy playing at being a grownup. Any attempt to look tough just shows how ridiculous he is.

Concerned, fine, but it's still no one's business but Brook Lyn and Chase's when/if they have kids. That it does. I think this might be the thing I hate the absolute most about this fakakta show, and the list is pretty long. If Carly is so desperate for Laura to know the location, leave a message so Laura doesn't have to waste time trying to call Carly back. But it's a dumb soap trope, I know.

Carly didn't, though—she left a message saying she knew where Lucky was but didn't give Laura the actual information. Just told her to call when she had service.

I removed him from my list in the meantime, but originally the thought was that when Brennan mentioned he didn't have a Seal team at his disposal, there was a very deliberate reaction shot of Carly, who happens to knows a Seal. I'm not sure that's going to happen anymore, though, given how many other people are involved now.

It's absolutely none of Tracy's concern when Brook Lyn has a baby, even if Tracy is right about the juggling. I hate they're making her a meddler in other people's private business like this. And why isn't anyone telling Violet to STFU? Again with the using kids (even offscreen!) to move a plot point. Mac, stop being an asshole about Tracy. Good lord, that woman gets no break from anyone. She doesn't make it easy, but she's not evil incarnate. That's supposed to be Ava. LOL at Michael pretending to be some sort of protector of any sort. Why Chase let him in the questioning of Kristina is ridiculous, but no one can say no to Michael Corinthos. *rme* How many people are going to go after Lucky? We've got Laura, Kevin, Jason, Anna, Felicia. Why not have the whole town go and just be done with it?

Seriously. A friend of mine was involved with a Spaniard, and one of the things his mother told him was that if things were going to go past a certain point, my friend had better start learning Spanish. (Spoiler: The relationship didn't last, but it was because of geography, not language.) Every single thing about this show is a fantasy!

More Audrey Hepburn cosplay from Emily here, especially the outfit she wears to go to Solitano.

Because he's an asshole. Though I think his general point that it's ridiculous Emily doesn't speak French is absolutely valid. I feel like she knows even less French now than when she first moved to Paris.

LOL. In the time line of the show, Camille should be something like seven months' pregnant. Camille also has had absolutely no other signs of pregnancy—fatigue, cravings, nausea, swelling, etc. Yet everyone is so sure she will have a baby eventually!

Everyone should be rolling over in their graves. Carly is no family's matriarch. And even if she is, it's certainly not for Jason, of all people, to say she is. My head nearly exploded.

No contest. Regina Lampert forever. Sylvie, you didn't have to answer your phone when Emily called. Gross that Emily just stuck her hand into the candy jar. And gross that Air France apparently did not provide scoops. I felt sorry for Emily when she found out Alfie had a serious girlfriend, but did she really expect him to be waiting around for her to finally dump Gabriel? Oh, wait, she's Emily. Of course she did!

Jason: "I have a family?"

We need a replacement baby for Irenella, now!

I haaaaaate Lois talking so slowly and deliberately. It's way more annoying than her Bensonhurst accent, which never bothered me that much in the first place. Lois should use the fake voice for Deception and her real one for everything else. If only James had fallen into the lake again during brunch and drowned. I'm so so tired of children being used to push a plot point. It's so aggravating that the women of Deception are acting as if Tracy is completely off-base for being sure that Sonny murdered Wagger. Natalia barely knows him, so okay, but the others have known Sonny for decades and what he's capable of. It's ridiculous and insulting and I hope Tracy gets to say a gigantic "I told you so" to everyone who sneered at her. LOL that Sonny and Carly are arguing about Brennan at Lulu's bedside. Alexis put Sonny in an impossible position? Could Sonny be more self-involved? Maybe if everyone stopped infantilizing Kristina, she might be able to make better choices. Let her fail and have to pick herself up on her own. Here's hoping Joss ignores Michael's request to leave things alone, and her interference leads to Sonny being arrested and charged with Wagger's murder. We know Sonny won't get punished for long, if at all, but I'd like him have to deal with Joss being the one who started that ball rolling. Let's use Joss being Carly's daughter for good for a change. Carly is always making things worse; it's time Joss does.

I mentioned earlier I thought this would happen. The look on Carly's face when Brennan said he didn't have a Seal team was too pointed otherwise. Ugh. The show used Lucky contacting his family as a plot point, so I can't get too annoyed that it was erratic. TFGH. There's no excuse for Jason abandoning his family in service to Carly's, though. What good does Elizabeth trashing Jason and Lucky to their kids do? Let them figure out how they feel about their dads on their own. It's their relationship to deal with, not hers. As always, I am amazed the show has never had a coma patient wake up and tell all. The drama is RIGHT THERE. So of course this fakakta show ignores it.

That is likely in our future.

okay i have to laugh.. but honestly the right answer is. no one. no one needs to pay. it was an accident. Maybe now that Ric has decided to defend Ava, he'll prove it was an accident but that Carly (and Olivia) are liable for their shoddy hotel maintenance. There's certainly no love lost there, so I can see Ric enjoying doing that.

I desperately hope Lulu remembers Willow's monologue when she wakes up and inadvertently spills the beans. That'll teach everyone to tell their secrets to someone they think is unconscious. I can't believe that has never happened on GH, given the number of confessions made to zonked-out patients. Why do I think Drew might save Lucky? Ugh.

I'm no fan of the ridiculous level of anger Alexis and Ric have for each other, LOL at her being mad for him making her look "as suspicious as possible!" Had Alexis actually thrown her phone over the bridge, that would be one thing, but she did toss a gun. She has only her bad choice (and luck) to blame here. Carly and Sonny being each other's alibi is hardly "iron clad." It's laughable anyone takes it seriously, but this is GH, where Sonny and Carly can never lose, so of course it's instantly believed by everyone. I don't understand why everyone is so convinced Lucky can save Lulu. It's highly likely he will, of course, but Lucky was a drug addict and isn't exactly a teetotaler, so it's not as if his liver is pristine. I wish there was some finger-crossing going on rather than the assumption he will be a slam-dunk.

If Michael weren't playing legal roulette with his sister's mother because he's trying to hide the fact his father shot an FBI agent, I might feel a bit warmer toward him.

She was too busy being charmed by his flirting. Also, Carly is deeply stupid.
