Yep, that was me.

And it's not like they don't both already have other killers in their families. What's one more?

Liam is so much better in family stuff than romantic storylines. I hope they keep him heavily involved in Bill's mess. "With Steffy's assistance" AKA "Steffy will tell Steffy's Husband what to think about his parents, and he will nod his head eagerly, assuring her she's right." I swear, if this plan doesn't blow up in Steffy's face... Are Bill and Luna just going to have the same two conversations over and over? Next week's spoilers will probably say he asks her for details about the murders. Is she doing another one of those Covid test "paternity tests"? I'm over here amusing myself with the idea of it having a faint positive line, which confuses everyone except Poppy, who knows that faint line means he's grandpa.

So far, it seems to be just Li's theory based on the timing. We don't even know if Poppy and Jack ever slept together at this point.

Usually, I can find the day to day spoilers for the coming week by Friday night. As of this morning, the site that usually has them only has some kind of general overview for the week, but no specific day by day breakdown. That usually tends to happen when the show has something big they don't want spoiled at all. My guess is either Daphne gets somewhere with someone (either Carter or Ridge) or we get at least part way to the Finn is Luna's father reveal. Maybe after that confrontation in Li's office, Jack and Poppy have a conversation that makes it clear the two of them never hooked up.

I'd love if Poppy reported Li to the hospital. She accessed Tom's liver and Luna's blood test without permission. She used hospital resources (and staff) to do so and to run an unauthorized DNA test, all to fulfill her own curiosity about a personal issue. She crossed multiple ethical lines there.

When Steffy and Taylor were telling Hope and Brooke how Ridge and Taylor were together for good now/Ridge was mad at Brooke for the last time, I was waiting for them to ask if they also thought it was "for good" the last time he got with Taylor when he was mad at Brooke. Taylor always thinks she's getting her happily ever after with him, and he always gets over whatever his issue is with Brooke and goes running back to her. It's laughable that they both think this time it's really, super duper going to happen. Brooke, please, let it go. He's so not worth this. He chose to believe the worst of you. He chose to hop into bed with Taylor instead of hearing you out. He said horrific things about your daughter, the same daughter he helped you raise for years. Be done with him already. Let him succumb to the beige. I'm fully convinced Finn is Luna's father after today's scenes and the preview scene. Poppy's reaction when Li asked if Jack was the father, and then Jack's wondering what the hell Li is talking about in the preview scenes has me convinced that Jack isn't even a possibility. At most, I think we might get some period of time where Jack and Poppy pretend he's the father, to protect Finn, but Finn is the father. And oh will I enjoy Steffy losing her shit when she finds out Luna is her stepdaughter. With all this talk about Luna's parentage, I feel like Poppy is going to have a need to have a conversation with her daughter at some point in the near future. So, what happens when she shows up at the jail to visit her?

It's nice to know that SBu can actually still try. To be fair I think he has (most of the time) been putting more effort in this time around than he has for years (and years). But those scenes with Tracy were another level up for him. Jason finally siding with the Q's over Sonny/Carly/Michael was surprising, to say the least. I just hope that he doesn't find out about Sonny's heart episode and immediately reverse course. In my wildest dreams, between Sam's death, Michael's condition, and Monica's presumed upcoming death, Jason starts growing back towards a more human meld of Jason Morgan and Jason Q, and that he fully puts the mob in his rearview mirror and stops acting like Carly's personal enforcer. I know he'll never fully give up on Carly and Sonny, but stepping back and having some boundaries would be a nice change and maturation for the character. And maybe if there are some changes in the Sonny/Carly/Jason set, I can stop hating myself for enjoying the Carly/Jack chemistry. Just give me Liz and Lucky in scenes doing anything, and I'm in. They were so adorable and sparkly together yesterday.

Brooke is sitting there thinking that if she's just nice enough to his bitchass daughter, her hobosexual will come home to her. Meanwhile, he's over there refusing to utter her name, asking Steffy "what about the CEO?" Brooke, please, stop worrying about that asshole. He's so not worth it. Let him be with his safety net. Eric being all "be careful!" acting like Steffy is going into some violent situation. Dude, the worst thing that's going to happen to her at FC is that they're going to turn her down and talk to her the same way you all talk to/about Brooke and Hope. Nobody is going to be putting the bitch back in a box, or anything else fun. I don't think I've ever seen anyone on this show have any household staff (although you'd think some of them would). Maybe Bill has a cleaning service, and he'll just tell them to stay out of one room now. Or maybe the show never bothers to think about how the characters keep their homes clean.

They're all so stupidly stuck on the idea that Hope lured Carter into this plan, that they honestly can't conceive that it was his plan. So they think that if he's not with Hope, he'll magically lose his ambitions for the company. I really hope that being so hyper-focused on her Logan hate that she underestimates Carter results in Steffy's plan blowing up completely on her.

JE and MEK look like they're enjoying the hell out of the chance to work together. I don't think I've seen that twinkle in MEK's eyes since his Tad the Cad days. I have so many problems with like everything Sasha said. 1) Barging into Willow's home (which it still is until divorce/separation proceedings say otherwise), and giving orders about where Willow's children go. Not your place, honey. 2) Lecturing Willow about how she's keeping parents away from their child, while she's all in on helping the efforts to separate Willow and her kids. 3) Acting like Willow was going to make harmful medical decisions about Michael just to spite him/his family. Willow never refused to authorize needed care, she just said that, if her kids were being kept from her, then she wasn't going to let them see Michael or be involved in the decisions. 4) Intervening to keep the kids at the Q estate when she, herself, is actively hiding from the Q's that she's pregnant with a Q baby, because she doesn't want her baby to be raised as part of the family. The hypocrisy of it all. I kind of love that Willow was finally showing some backbone with someone in those scenes. She so rarely shows her backbone to anyone, except for her old "we're about to find out you're my mother, so I must hate you" over the top anger at Nina. But, who has custody of the kids now? Michael is incapacitated. I assumed that Diane was going to the court to get custody for Carly, on Michael's behalf. But, they got sent back to the gate house to stay with the nanny? I loved everything about the Liz/Lucky/Lucas scenes. I'll be happy if we get a lot of the three of them working together to figure out what's happening at the hospital and less of Joss solving the case and saving the day.

That nurse went from "I admire you so much and would love to help you" to "oh, I think the doc may be a bit cray cray" in the span of one episode. Good Lord. Too bad Sheila or Luna didn't succeed in killing Steffy. Then the family could just get on with submitting that nomination for sainthood to the Vatican. Is there a sign at the door to Eric's house instructing all visitors that the customary greeting upon entrance is to sing Steffy's praises? Hey, Zende, do you have amnesia? Ridge even brought up Brooke saying she took the CEO job for him, and you still didn't remember "oh, yeah, that's what she told me her plan was"? Is Bill some closet true crime documentary enthusiast, and he's enjoying having access to all the details of some real crimes right from the killer's mouth or something? Why does he keep asking Luna to tell him about her crimes?

They're really trying to make Steffy look younger so it doesn't look like she and Taylor are sisters, aren't they? Super weird for all of them to be all "whoo-hoo, you two did it!" at Ridge and the dishrag. Are there no healthy boundaries at all in that family? They should not give Steffy any kind of authority over anyone. Give her some made up bullshit position like "Forrester Family Liason," that has no authority or decision making ability. Just a mascot position to show the world the Forresters are still involved in the company. If they have Tom's organs, with the initial hope of being able to use some of them in transplants, wouldn't they have his blood type on file instead of Li needing to have his liver dropped off in her office? (I'm assuming she wants to get his blood type to start looking at her suspicions.) Does she have any of Luna's records to be able to even make that comparison? So, this would be the second time that a schemer initially set her sights on Bill and then turned her attention to one of his sons. Also, what is Bill's plan if Poppy ever goes to the jail to see her daughter again? Does he have the guards all paid off to keep making excuses as to why she can't see her?

Bonus points if it actually caused some conflict between Taylor and Steffy. Because those two are way past due for some conflict.

Same. I think Li suspecting it's Jack is just kicking off the story of who it really is.

I was thinking this, too, he's recruiting her. I think that was the "project" he was referring to, and he's clearly watching her to see how she's doing. I'm guessing that this will be the thing that causes drama in the Carly/Jack relationship. Joss will end up getting in over her head, and Jack will save her life. That part will push Carly fully into a relationship with him. But, down the line, she'll find out that he was feeding Joss those breadcrumbs to see if she had what it takes to work for the WSB, and that will be their first big fight and test of the relationship. Whether they get past that will depend on if working for the WSB is something Joss actually wants to do, or if she also gets mad at Brennan over it all. If Joss wants to do it, she'll probably keep urging her mother to forgive him, with speeches about how she's an adult who made her own choices and gets to pick her own career. Since Joss seems to actually like Jack, I'm guessing she'll push for Carly to get over it. It's completely ludicrous that a judge would grant an emergency order to take kids away from their mother while their father is incapacitated, unless their mother is the one who put him in the hospital, or has done something equally bad. Having one of the kids around her affair partner is not even remotely enough, unless that affair partner was a risk to the kids. Also ridiculous that nobody, including anyone at the hospital, thought to consider that Willow is the one who makes decisions for Michael, seeing as how they're still legally married. None of them would even need to know about Michael assigning that task to her, since she's still legally his wife. Unless he had signed something choosing someone else, his wife would be calling the shots. Now that would be something for Diane to go to court to get an emergency order about - showing that he'd filed for divorce after her cheating and requesting that someone else (Carly, Sonny, Jason) be put in charge of his medical decisions. Would have made way more sense than the custody emergency order. But, really, who needs healthcare proxies and all that when you've got Portia ready to wander around telling anyone anything? Seems like the co-chief needs a refresher in patient privacy. I'm pretty sure there's not a line in the HIPAA law saying "unless the doctor knows the patient and wants to call her husband and tell him what's going on." Not that Portia is the only one guilty of not following HIPAA. The only person anyone at GH has refused to give any information to is Drew. Everyone else has been getting any information they want. Yes, they're his family, but unless he's signed paperwork on file with the hospital saying it's OK to discuss his condition with them, it's still not OK. Instead of Portia calling Curtis to tell him what's going on, we should have seen her trying to reach Willow (or asking someone else to call her), since she's Michael's next of kin. Carly and Joss being so specific that Willow was banging Drew while Michael burned would have made more sense if someone at GH said they were trying to reach Willow, but she wasn't answering. (Yes, I know that they are technically right that they were having sex at the same time, but how would they know that? It's kind of weird how they're fixated on that image instead of just saying "while you were off in D.C. with your boyfriend.") And, Drew, yes, everything you're saying to Carly is true, but time and place, dude. Not to mention, as the man who helped break up Michael's marriage, you're pretty far down on the list of people who gets to deliver that message. And, yes, you went to prison for Carly, but that's all on you. You chose to throw yourself on your sword for her. It was stupid, but it was your choice. Between Drew talking about Carly putting Michael in Sonny's orbit and Willow reminding Joss of her own cheating, I feel like the writers knew what viewers would be thinking and decided to bring those things up, while also being able to essentially dismiss them by having Drew look like an ass for doing it and having Joss bat away the cheating thing with "I wasn't married with kids."

I hope they give her a shitty job. Why does Bill keep asking Luna to talk about how she killed them? It's just weird. Oh, Brooke, honey, no. Just...no. It would be hilarious if Ridge ended up going after Daphne. I feel like that preview of Li accusing Poppy of Jack being the father is a misdirection. It has so little storyline impact for Jack to be Luna's father. I'm still putting my money on Finn actually being the father. If the big secret was really that Jack was the father, why show us that in the preview? They could have clipped that preview scene to her just yelling at Poppy to admit who Luna's father is, without including Jack's name. Yawn.

Every single time the dishrag isn't looking at his face, Ridge looks like he'd rather not be there. Such a great love story between a man and his safety net. Hell, even their biggest cheerleader basically acknowledged that her mother is just a stopgap measure to assuage his pride and keep him from forgiving Brooke too easily. It is unfathomably icky for someone to talk about their parents' love life as foreplay and postcoital couch pillow talk. And don't those two have a bedroom? Steffy's Husband has had to learn to get turned on by talk of his in-laws' sex life if he ever wants to have sex. It'll be hilarious if he keeps finding himself inexplicably turned on around Ridge. Is Ridge afraid to live alone? That's why he needs Greenlee to move in with him in order to move out of daddy's house? Brooke, how much more do you need to be fully and completely done with that asshole? The shit he said about your daughter? The shit his daughter says about you that he just stands there and lets happen? The shit he said to you and accused you of? Jumping to Taylor's bed right after your argument, just like he always does? Unless you believe your "destiny" is a sleazy asshole whose only concern is making sure he has a dick warmer at all times, this dude should not be your destiny.

Yes. Bill owned/owns it, and he knew Wyatt left town, but I don't know if he knew he'd leased it out (or maybe he knew that, but didn't realize to who or that they were moved in already).

And she and Steffy will blame Brooke for causing her to relapse. I haven't watched today's show yet, but I am assuming that they're talking about Taylor's old beach house, which Wyatt bought at some point. When Wyatt left town, he rented it out to RJ, who seems to no longer exist, leaving it empty (but still Wyatt's, unless they're just going to retcon that away).

Yeah, it would seem like Michael's current condition would be proof that Carly has a history of making shitty dangerous decisions for her children that have life-long repercussions. I wonder if Willow will have the guts to make that accusation in court. It would be even better if Willow somehow finds out about Sasha's pregnancy and Michael's agreement to keep it quiet that he's the father, to protect the child from growing up as part of his family.

So, how long was that drive Eric went for? Is he going to eventually come home to these two assholes beige-banging in his living room? Get a hotel room, you fucking hobosexual. Steffy's Husband knows his role. He never even met Stephanie, but he knows that he is contractually required to tell Bitch in a Box that she is exactly like her and doing her proud. And Steffy is right there to soak that all up and agree with him.

And, not for nothing, but the show has portrayed Willow marrying Michael as the reason he was able to retain custody of Wiley. And then Willow literally endangered her life to bring Amelia into the world. But, yes, those kids are something Michael created out of whole cloth, all on his own, and bestowed upon Willow as a gift conditional on her remaining faithful only to him until her last days and beyond.

Steffy "I blame Hope for everything that's happened since." Yeah, just take that last word off. You blame Hope for everything that has ever happened. Is Daphne doing this because she has a crush on Steffy? Because that was the vibe I was getting from their scenes. Brooke, do not second guess anything you said or did to Ridge yesterday. He more than earned every word, slap, and more. As did his little jock rider. Ridge "we have the house all to ourselves." Good Lord, man. You're 60 something, and you're bragging to the little dishrag you keep around as second choice about being alone in dad's house. Like the two of you snuck out of class while your parents were at work. While Eric was going on about how it's the family's business, I was asking my TV "OK, so where's the rest of the family?" Because his family is much bigger than him, Ridge, and Steffy, is it not? I'd love to see Brooke bring some of that family back to work there. Considering exactly how Carter got where he is right now, he's not going to be stupid enough to sign a contract with Daphne without reading it over thoroughly, is he? Because it's going to be super annoying and stupid if Steffy gets the company back exactly how Carter got it in the first place.

That's the only regret she should have over it, that she didn't kick him in the nuts and Greenlee didn't hit the ground.
