That's what I was hoping for. I hate what the "writers" are doing to Liz, but I do have one small request. When Carly inevitably finds out and starts frothing at the mouth that she was kept from her precious Jason for so long, I need at least one person to very calmly look her in the eye and tell her "it wasn't Liz's secret to tell."

I think if she was really worried about bringing the crazies out, rather than secretly loving the attention (vicariously through her son), she could have just as easily sent a private message with the same point. Because, if anything, her publicly stating that is what will really bring the crazies out. And she has to know that by now. Any chance someone can start a Morgan vs. Spencer fan war so we can watch Mama Bechtel and Mama Craig go at each other?

What? You don't believe that totally scientific, unimpeachable screenshot put together by the network?

Patrick is pretty much an empty vessel used for plot now. He's Liz. Talented actor, has a lot of fans, always able to bring it when given big moments, but used as a prop to fill in whatever plot carrying the show needs, regardless of what it means for the character himself. Please don't let Nicholas Bechtel have a brother. Please. Why would you put this kind of thing out into the universe? Run, Ellie! Run!! I just had a vision of Ron deciding to write "wacky family dinners" with Franco, Nina, Ellie, and Spinelli, and all the hair on the back of my neck stood up.

Yeah, if Spencer wasn't such a shit, but still ended up injured in a fire and felt insecure (or was maybe being teased) about the burns on his face, then while I loathe Courtney, I could at least tolerate a one shot Spencer gets a visit from Ghost Mommy to comfort him in is trauma kind of thing. But this entitled shit? Being rewarded for trying to off his cousin by a ghostly visit from his beloved "mudda"? Ick. Of course, they could surprise me and have her slap down some ghostly discipline over what a little shit he's become, but, 1) I highly doubt it, because we're supposed to see Spencer as this awesome, hilarious, precocious kid, and, 2) even if we did get her smacking him down, it would just be fuel for more Spencer griping about how awful life has been to him, and even his dead mother doesn't like him because he's hideous.

"Daddy, it would have been so much more fun if Mommy was at the ball." "Mommy goes to balls in Paris."

Maybe TC power voted for Courtney?

I'm sure they tweet.

Toonces! Look out!!

I think she was always going to "win" no matter how the voting came out.

I assume that would be Ron. And if it is, he'll never stop.

Grrpants, how awful for your friend! She had two guys to approach Liz, Cameron, and Jake in the park, pretending to be enemies of Jason, in the hopes that it would scare Liz off of any relationship with Jason. They could have been guys from her show's crew, I'm not positive on that. This was after she stood by and watched Jake's kidnapping and taunted Liz that he was probably dead.

Yeah, countless kids manage to subvert the locks and things like that and scoot out the door without warning. I don't see how that remotely equals (or surpasses??) hiring thugs to menace a toddler and a baby and standing by and watching while a baby is kidnapped without saying a word to stop it or let anyone know what you witnessed.

And why do I have the feeling that Nik, who has been keeping the Jason secret for how long now, will act like he's being such a "good friend" to Liz by letting her twist his arm to keep the secret? "Well, I don't know....I guess if it's really important to you..." Putting in the work now in the hopes that, when this eventually blows up and Jason ends up back with his weepy wife, he can catch Liz on the rebound?

I think Liz more than got hers when her child had to die so Sam and Jason could have a kid. Ron and Frank really can muck shit up, can't they? "It's the Nurses Ball! Except, well, budget, so it kind of feels more like a third of the cast got dressed up to come watch rehearsals for the Nurses Ball. And they just all squished in at the handful of tiny tables that were there. But, don't you worry, there will be some kind of shit about Spencer!"

There is no way there were any draperies even half that lively hanging in Nik's mausoleum of a home.

I didn't see Bill/Steffy, but I would be stunned if the show was able to find their way back to any level of maturity for Steffy at this point. Of course, I doubt they're interested in doing so. They want her like this. They think she's "fun and sexy."

But, if Robin were off screen for those reasons, even if she wasn't back for the funeral, it would still make sense in terms of what the rest of the people close to her think about her not being there. If Robin had divorced Patrick and moved back to Paris to work, we could have scenes of Anna saying that Robin called and they had a nice long cry together, she couldn't get away from work to come home for the funeral, but Anna is going to fly out and spend some mother/daughter time with her after the funeral. The thing is, good writing could potentially make a "Jason is conflicted about which woman he wants to be with" story line work. If the Jason we end up with is either Jason Q or some new version of Jason that is neither Q nor Morgan, you could maybe sell that he would be looking for different things out of a relationship than he was as Jason Morgan. Play up that the reason he never ended up with Liz was because of the difference in her and Sam's attitudes towards the mob life and all of the danger involved. It could be done successfully...if written well. But, well, we have Ron, so...

Britt Carly - Joss, after being left to fend for herself while Carly tended to Sonny's issues, set booby traps all over the house for security. Carly dies via one of those traps. Dr. O

So, basically, Ron is writing Dr. O as a WWE bad guy. Nice to see the wormholes are working well on the night of the NB. One minute, Brad and Britt are sitting at his place, pigging out on ice cream, the next, Brad is in his tux sitting at the NB, and Britt is sneaking into Wyndemere to bond with the demon spawn. Even before things went south, Ric's proposal gave me major secondhand embarrassment (for Liz).

Well, you know, they tried to Skype with her, but couldn't get her, so they figured she must be having issues with her wi-fi service.

Nathan and Dante could be there to support Anna. If that's the case, then, presumably, Maxie and Lulu would be there with the two of them. Which would mean that Maxie gets back together with Nathan before the funeral.

I'm guessing it's going to be something cheesy like he falls asleep watching the NB, and he dreams about her performing at the NB for him.

Time to get a Phantom of the Opera mask and whine about needing to protect people from laying eyes upon your sunburn?

And follow it up with "Well, Aly, it's not that hard to scoop some ice cream. We're a family, we help each other out, and Rick is under a lot of pressure as CEO. Did you hear he's CEO? And he hates lies?" Yeah, Rick, do you want Ridge to start spending a lot of one on one time with Maya so she can inspire him?
