Unless they're braiding flowers into Leonard's hair, of course!

Ugh, Wiley and James. There is not enough I DON'T CARE in the world for those two brats. Again, Carly was in lockup at the PCPD. Everyone is acting as if it was the gulag. Of course her case was dismissed, because why eke out any drama from Carly being behind bars for less than 24 hours? And the US attorney apologizes? Barf. But the best part was Sonny making it all about him, as always. Never change, Corinthos! Anna had quite the exposition dump today with Brennan. Tock the stupid baby and blame be damned. I HATE this story.

Doesn't matter what the ratings are, because ABCD doesn't have anything to replace GH. If they had something viable, I think GH would be long gone. We haven't seen Molly and TJ talk about any of this stuff, so it's not as if we can see they are deliberately leaving Kristina out of things. That's why I can't get too worked up about her not knowing anything. Viewers don't either. Again, more stupidity.

It's not as if Donna is deathly allergic to tomatoes and Sonny is unaware. It's where she wants her tomatoes when she eats them. She'll survive if they're in the wrong place. Good grief. ETA: And we all know Sonny does more actual cooking for Donna than Carly ever has. He probably knows Donna's tomato preferences. It would have made more sense if Carly said that Donna has recently started hating them and won't eat them. But the writers are this show have no sense.

None of that exchange made sense. If Robert did agree to release the records Wagger wants, why didn't Molly stop by the office first? Or why didn't Robert send someone who was at the office in the first place over to the courthouse? It was all to set up Wagger yelling at Molly to goad Sonny into taking a swing at Wagger. I laughed out loud when Carly mentioned Jason looking after Michael. Joss, too, to a lesser degree, given she has a father who may be absent but has never been derelict in his parental duties. And Donna has nannies (and Sonny, regardless of his current mental state), so Jason doesn't need to look after any of Carly's kids. I disagree a bit with this. Kristina isn't entitled to know every thought Molly and TJ have about the baby. We definitely should have seen Molly and TJ talk about their plans, but the show wants to keep things so both sides can stay on their respective high horses, valid or not. SO MUCH STUPID.

So much whining today. Everbody, SHUT UP. Also, so much stupid. If Michael is such a wheeler-dealer, he should be working the phones to get Carly off the hook, or at least get her bail. What a loser. "You know, in retrospect it was probably a mistake to force [the parental termination issue]." Oh, ya think, Molly? And when Alexis asked Kristina what Molly and TJ fought about and Kristina said her, there was no acknowledgement that maybe that was something Kristina needed to think about. "What if [Molly and TJ] break up?" What if Port Charles falls into a sinkhole, Kristina? I cannot with anyone in this story.

I'm glad she's feeling well enough to work, but Holly isn't needed.

Finally, we get confirmation Kathy is in menopause and not turning into her mother. I had to laugh that she expected Geordie to get it when her own doctor seemed pretty clueless. Love it when Jack noped out of the conversation when Mrs C. mentioned "dryness downstairs." (I did think that was unrealistic coming from Sylvia, but on the other hand, she can be very blunt.) I don't care about the Keating children, so it doesn't matter to me how many of them we see. I wonder if the season will end on a cliffhanger. The show doesn't usually do that, but I feel like we're building toward a few things that won't be wrapped up in 50 minutes.

I thought that was a real thing. D'oh!

Is Bryan Craig still supposed to return to GH for a day? Or was that a PM idea that has been scuttled? I can't say I'm upset if that's the ase.

For whatever reason, the show has decided to focus on how "irresponsible" Kristina is as a surrogate and ignore nearly everything else. The show isn't interested in showing Molly and TJ prepare their apartment for the baby, so that's why we don't see or hear about it. It's all about conflict, and it's badly written conflict. No one is coming off well.

I actually don't think Molly and TJ will be bad parents, especially when grading on the PC curve. The infertility/surrogacy part is what's making them completely unreasonable. Once the baby is here and the legalities are sorted out, I think they'll be fine.

I had to laugh at Michael's complete ignorance about how to approach Senator McConkey. This is the head of an international conglomerate? It's a miracle ELQ and Aurora are still viable companies. And while it was immensely satisfying to watch Nina show Michael how it's done, it's enraging she still has to kowtow to that turd. Molly was beyond out of line to talk to Kristina that way—not that she was wrong, but you don't tell the sister carrying your baby that she is a disaster in relationships and can barely take care of herself. However, Kristina's firm belief that because TJ and Molly are fighting means they'll split up is one of the dumbest things they've ever had her think, up there with not believing Sonny is a violent gangster. It does crack me up that now is when Molly and TJ decide they have to have Kristina sever her parental rights. Way to read the room, you dolts. This is why you should have had legal papers drawn up at the very beginning of the process. Ugh. I HATE this story so much. Everyone is being so unreasonable, and not in a soapy way.

Carly's "doing as well as can be expected"? She begged to be arrested. This is entirely her doing. Also, she's in the PCPD lockup. It's hardly Supermax. Diane's defense for Carly is what I would expect it would be. Even Scott could have come up with this. LOL that Diane wants Jason to be in court every day wearing a coat and tie. That's the true burden for him. Ha! Ugh, Michael. What a stupid little shit. Making sure Willow knows Nina was responsible for getting Carly out of jail is hardly the gift Michael thinks it is. He'll make it all her fault if it doesn't work. He'll never let Nina off the hook.

Until the writers decide Sonny and Jason should suffer actual consequences for their actions, every character is wasted.

Molly and TJ would still have concluded that people would know the baby wasn't Kristina's. They are completely unhinged when it comes to the situation.

Because they're assholes.

What's annoying about this is that if Kristina had said she was a surrogate for her sister, Molly and TJ would be screaming about the invasion of privacy. As we've said before, Kristina can't win with these jerks. Given that he saw Joss and Gio rush in and tell Jason that Carly had been arrested, maybe he'll start wondering who the priority is. Though with these writers, Danny will probably be fine with it, since it's Carly and poor, unattended Donna. (With all of the nannies she has, the girl won't even realize Carly isn't around!)

That cracked me up. They make such a big deal of Alphy having to sneak into the residence hall, and he doesn't even look both ways down the hall before sauntering outside.

I don't see how Jason leaving town again is going to throw Sonny for a loop. Carly can easily tell Sonny that Waggert forced Jason to leave. It was very satisfying to watch the warden (or whoever he was) tell Anna that there is no prisoner named Brennan at Pentonville and never has been. Suck on that, lady. Ugh, Wiley. If no one shows up for Drew's event, that's on his campaign team. Michael sucks for dragging ELQ employees into it. I do not feel sorry for Jason, Show. I never will.

Natalia has been the real victim since everyone learned it was Ava who leaked the recording. This is one of the most offensive things the show has expected viewers to accept in a long time.

I really wish his sons were around to hear Jason say that. It's disgusting, and maybe it would be the thing that made them write Jason out of their lives for good. He's a worthless piece of trash. His tearful phone call to Danny doesn't change that. Is he just going to ignore his other son? What an asshole. Ouch that Nina is rooting for Sonny to win the custody fight. I know there's no love lost between her and Ava, but wow. So infuriating. I don't think Kristina and Blaze should have raked Natalia over the coals—it would reflect worse on them than on Natalia—but I think they could have been a lot stronger in their disappointment and hurt regarding her hateful opinions. LOL that Carly tosses Waggert out of the MetroCourt because she's mad at him.

Oh, definitely. Way to work at cross purposes, you dunces.

If anyone should have the riot act read to them, it's Anna. She's been throwing roadblocks into this stupid Pikeman investigation since day one, all because of her feelings for Valentin and his psychopath daughter. So what if Waggert is turning his attention to Sonny? WTF did she expect, given their history? Just because she can turn a blind eye to all of Sonny's crimes doesn't mean other people can. (Though of course it doesn't matter anyway, because Sonny never pays.) This story is a mess of hypocrisy, stupidity, and torpor. In other words, TFGH.

Did a writer totally unfamiliar with the show work on this scene? Because this eye-popping line was something else. Anna is the one interfering with an FBI investigation! For all of his misplaced reasons, Jason is pretty much doing what the original deal asked him to do.
