I think I would have found that whole painting thing unbearably cheesy if it was anyone else. But it worked for them.

Exactly! If I was either of them, I would be yelling at him "I didn't cheat on you!" He invades their home, runs roughshod over them at work, and is just, in general, a real shit to them. Makes it really easy to choose Caroline's side. Steffy saying to Liam "are you dense?" had me laughing. You're just figuring that out?

Or children!

I think that last part is a big part of everyone's problem - Rick has screwed over everyone in his revenge schemes. It isn't just about Caroline and Ridge.

Landon was pretty efficient.

Now that he will, undoubtedly, be freed, I can't wait for the scene of Sonny and Duke each taking an end of Carly and stumbling to carry her up the stairs.

Can the custody battle be ruled over by Judge Country, who takes one look at Sonny, laughs for five minutes, and rules against him as he's still wiping away the tears of his laughter? I fear we'll get Judge Cockblock, though. Because if hanging out with a cop is reason to keep a mother from her child, I assume that he lives in opposite world, and being a mobster makes for a fine custodial parent.

Let's not forget the owner of the Port Charles Smug Championship, decades running - Carly. Her shit smells like roses, money, and a walk through an orange grove. Just ask her. I bet he thinks she was also totally cool with him banging her cousin before her body was even cold. I want a scene of GhostConnie just rattling off a list of shit he did that she wouldn't have wanted him to do followed by "but letting the bitch who killed me die is the one thing you decide I wouldn't want your worthless ass to do? Now go get a haz-mat crew to clean Michael's old apartment, you greasy fuck!"

I believe that Susie genuinely believes that it didn't happen. However... How long was Tonya passed out? Was Susie with Kenny and Evan the entire time Tonya was out of it? I can't imagine that Tonya has a specific time of the evening that it happened, given that she was probably really, really out of it. Susie may have been in the room with those guys for a big chunk of the night, but I'm guessing that, eventually, she went to sleep. It seems to me that there are at least a few cast members who seem to know that this happened. And the producers are not denying that it happened, they're more on the defensive of trying to push responsibility for the incident back on Tonya's shoulders. I doubt much goes on in those houses that the crew doesn't know about or find out about. If this didn't happen, the show would have come out swinging with that. They have those houses wired with cameras. They know what happened, and now they're trying to deflect responsibility to cover their own asses. And they haven't had Kenny or Evan back. I'm sure that people like Susie and Johnny would like to believe that their friends didn't do this. And they probably think back and say to themselves "I was hanging out with them that night, and I didn't see them do it." But people eventually go to sleep, go to the bathroom, take a shower, etc.

First, I have to say, only on soaps can we utter the line "he killed him first." OK, that aside, what Michael did (before it was retconned away) was the act of a messed up kid. It was awful, absolutely, but he was a child who was emotionally screwed up thanks to the adults in his life. Sonny is a grown man. Sonny promised Michael he wouldn't touch AJ. Michael is an adult now who has a more thorough understanding of all that went on in his childhood and the kind of crap Sonny (and Carly and Jason) pulled on AJ to keep him out of Michael's life. With that understanding, he wanted a relationship with his father, and grew to love him. I just don't see any comparison between what young Michael did and what Sonny did. And I don't think that Michael's confusion and messed up emotional state from that time in his childhood means he isn't allowed to care about AJ now.

And, come on, it's a girl child. I don't buy for a second that he's not perfectly content to let Kiki (and Morgan) do all of the work while he can just show up every now and then and remind everyone what an "amazing" father he is. The only reason I could see him legitimately wanting to assert his ownership of girl child is to keep her away from Ava.

I've figured it out - Sonny could only be revived by Carly's tears because her soul is dark and evil enough to produce the elixir that can save his equally dark and evil soul.

So...not only will we have Sonny the hero, but now Carly will be bravestronglovewithherwholeheart amazing because her pure heart and love for Sonny brought the town hero back from the dead? Jesus.

Unless she was in Kenny's pocket 24/7 during filming, she's basically basing this on "I respect Kenny and don't respect Tonya, so I'm going to take his word for it."

The only way I want Liam to cheat with Steffy is if she is going to leave town right after and Ivy kicks his ass to he curb without wavering and without taking him back 5 minutes later.

Also, it's Nik, she could have, rightly, figured "well, as long as we don't hurt his penis, I've kept my promise."

Patrick would be like "Why would you see Sam in scrubs?"

At this point, I don't want that baby to be a Lante baby, because I do not need to see Maxie vs. Lulu custody battle round two. It was terrible enough the first time. I'd be all for finding out that the poor girl has a different father, though. (Provided it's not Dante or Stavros.)

Are we going to find out that Georgie really is a Lante baby after all? Because the majority of the times when a soap does a sick baby story line, it's to reveal some unknown biological connection that either characters or characters and audience were not aware of yet. Unless they're going to kill Spencer and donate some organ to Georgie?

Well, of course, I mean, she was just covering for Sonny because she knows what a truly good man he is.

Good old Toonces. She was the worst.

I don't know about Johnny R, but I am almost positive Jordan was just faking to keep things cool in his alliance (Sarah has probably told him multiple times that he has to play nice with Bananas until the end). I doubt he really felt sorry for him. I'm sure his only disappointment in the move was that it wasn't him getting the chance to take Bananas out.

I'm not saying I 100% believe they rigged the show, but it would have been somewhat easy to go for it like this: They know Wes will be chomping at the bit to get rid of Bananas. They throw a mission involving swimming in there, and it has two somewhat predictable outcomes - Wes wins and Leroy is in last. They can count on Wes not being able to resist throwing Bananas in against a strong competitor like Leroy. Then, they put them in this elimination game, the women go first, and Nany is on a log that happens to be splintered enough to snag her harness and keep her tied up so Johnny never even gets a chance to go (or, at minimum, it takes her long enough to get un-snagged that they're too far behind even if Johnny does get going. Then they go around the house, making sure to catch everyone's happy reactions to him being gone on camera (including his friends/allies), meanwhile, none of them know that he's merely in exile, to potentially come back. Then, if he does come back, they've got everyone quaking in their boots over his return, especially (if they're still around) guys like Wes and Zach.

Monkey Fist....errr... I mean Morgan will be strolling along the docks, mourning Sonny and Ava, and they'll wash up, locked together naked and coated in the oil slick created by Sonny's hair.

If Ron really wanted to do something shocking, then those stories that MB re-upped would have been plants in the media for misdirection, and Sonny would actually be dead now. Because nobody expects them to really and truly kill his ass.
