I feel the same way. I was just thinking, after seeing the early morning news, I'm only going to watch scenes involving Laura with her children and Elizabeth, Dante, and Tracy or her grandchildren, and Alexis with her grandchildren for the foreseeable future. I know they are characters, not real people, but I just can't deal with seeing how Michael, Sonny, Drew, TJ, Curtis, and Ric talk to/behave with women. I also have zero interest in any storyline with Robert and a retconned daughter, a retconned son in Mac's family, newlyweds BLQ and Chase getting "baby rabies," or anything having to do with Gio and the Quartermaines and Carly and her off-spring.

Yes, Holly said Ethan was her first child. When Nathan Parsons was in the role, Ethan said his adoptive parents died and then he found out Holly was his bio mother. Holly and Sasha both said that Holly abandoned Sasha to be raised by her grandmother (but Sasha always knew Holly was her mother). Holly eventually taught Sasha to be a con and involved her in cons. Sasha has had one line indicating she has been around Ethan from time to time in her young adult life.

This marriage blow-up couldn't happen to two more deserving people. Michael slept with Willow knowing she was married to his "good friend" Chase (and Willow knew Chase was deeply in love with her) while Chase was working to get out of a wheelchair). Before that, Michael got involved with his brother Morgan's gf/wife, Kiki. Carly and Joss will probably run their mouths at Willow but they have no room to talk either. Michael is taking after his mother: Carly had sex with ex-husband Sonny in a limo, took a shower and then had sex with her husband Jax in the same day. Joss cheated on her boyfriend, Cameron, (who had been her friend since childhood) with Dex. I hope Michael, Willow and Drew get some public humiliation.

UGH! Willow and Michael had sex for the first time in the children's playroom while painting it. Their first time together, under paint drop cloths, was the opposite of hot. Or was it Wiley's bedroom they were painting? Either way, yes so gross and creepy.

That's not true. They had a scene together at the Jerome Gallery with Ava. NLG better get an Emmy for Alexis grieving Sam. The scene today of Kristina and Molly really crying and holding onto their mom as she crumbled was just absolutely gut-wrenching. KSt and BA made me cry, too. Maxie and Spinelli's stunned reaction and instant tears when Jason told them ... the three of them crying together ... was really well done. It seemed like BA sobbing when Spinelli hugged Maxie. GF is wonderful in Grandma mode; Laura's talk and prayer with crying, guilt-stricken Rocco was beautiful. I totally believe Rocco is heartbroken over the death of his stepmother-to-be. It's so weird to see Carly more emotional over Sam's death than Sam's own son. I wonder if it was a directing choice or an actor's choice to have Danny stuff all his emotions into "taking care of Scout" because he knows that's what his mom would want. I think he was supposed to be crying on Jason's shoulder in the last moment but not sure I saw actual tears. Is CM genuinely incapable of emoting? I barely saw a hint of glisten in his eyes as Drew comforted poor Scout. Sonny calling Dante and Sam with the three kids a "beautiful family" when he didn't ever spend time with them made me roll my eyes. I get that Dante's feeling a ton of guilt but the "why didn't I propose sooner" stuff was over the top for me. ETA: The Holly-Robert scenes felt really out of place and Robert letting Holly kiss him - not just a peck - was a WTF moment. Between that and all the flashbacks, it made me wonder if ES is saying goodbye to the Show forever, and/or if TR is starting an exit storyline.

Overall, Scout has lived with Jason and Sam for more time than she lived with Sam and her dad. First when Sam divorced Drew, Jason was around more and then living with the three of them again at Sam and Danny's request. Then when Sam went to prison, Jason was living alone with/ "raising" the kids in the Penthouse apartment. She understands that he is Uncle Jason, her dad's brother. Jason has a long history with Sam and Scout knows that he is Danny's dad so it's not like it was wildly inappropriate for her to hear the news from Jason. (I prefer how SB played Jason's role in this to CM/Drew, who reacted to the news like Sam was a neighbor he used to know instead of the mother of his young child.) Alexis was in state of grief from being the last one with Sam and had to be the one to tell her other daughters; I don't think she had enough mental strength to gently tell the kids what happened. Dante was handling his own son's grief and in the midst of feeling crushing guilt that Sam died because she loved them. That kind of intense guilt mindset would be toxic to children hearing the worst new of their lives. Little Scout would probably be even more traumatized by seeing him in this moment. I assume the only reason Drew was in these scenes was to insert Carly into a supportive role in this 'grieving Sam' storyline. She's Drew's ex-girlfriend, current "friend now and Jason's ex-lover/current bff. I hated the last shot of her standing in Monica's house, in tears over Sam's children/ Alan's grandchildren after everything she has done to hurt Monica and Alan's family.

Alexis going after Laura (if that happens) is inconsistent with these two characters' history because of their long-time relationship as Nikolas' beloved mother and aunt. Laura tearfully thanked Alexis for doing the eulogy at Spencer's unnecessary grave marker/headstone. Alexis knows Sam wanted to be Lulu's donor out of love for Dante and Rocco because she told Alexis that to her face. Laura has only seen Sam long enough to say thank you. She never begged or pressured, let alone demanded that Sam save Lulu's life. Yes, Laura saw Rocco sobbing on Dante's shoulder and then saw Dante crying and understandably thought something happened while the already very fragile Lulu was in post-op. Alexis had her back to all of them when Laura reacted to what she was seeing and asked about Lulu. I agree that Laura realized she needed to give Alexis space to grieve and speak to Dante alone. I thought the Laura - Rocco scene in the hospital was heartbreaking and very well done by the actors. Laura knows exactly how Alexis feels in this moment because she herself has mourned for Lucky and Nikolas when she thought they were dead.

Jason knows Scout because he moved back in with Sam, Danny and Scout after Sam divorced Drew. Not sure if he was ever her legal stepfather though - maybe someone with a better memory than I have can confirm if Sam re-married and then re-divorced Jason. Sam and Jason acted like he was the father of both kids for the years Drew was presumed dead (from when Billy Miller got fired 'til CM returned as "Drew"). They would say "our kids" or "the kids." However, Scout was close to/had Dante as a father figure by the time nuDrew arrived. She had to be re-introduced to him because she was much younger when BM's Drew was presumed dead.

I think Ned is a decent father to his daughter BLQ and to Leo, and Spinelli is supposedly a decent father to Georgie (Mac seems to sort of approve) as well as Maxie's other kids. I don't count Robert at this point because Robin has been gone from the Show for more than a few years now and he's been "Sasha's father" for one scene so far. Eh, he did the watery eyes also when Anna told him Britt was murdered, when Carly told him Bobbie died, and when Sam yelled at him (return scenes in March) about Danny. I think he may shed a tear or two when Danny is heartbroken over the loss of his mother.

Alexis said she was rushed out of the room. Did she know/hear the code blue alert? She's worried/scared and Jason's there asking questions. She hasn't had a moment to herself to think about calling. She got to have her last happy moments with her children right before the surgery. They were praising her for being a hero. Scout was next to her on her bed, and Danny was sitting on the bed, in the hospital room during Sam's "my people" scene. Her last ILYs in the final group scene were between her, Danny and Scout before she got wheeled away for surgery.

I'm expecting that they will sleep together right after Drew finds out that Sam has died (he needs to be there for his sad, grief-stricken daughter, "we had a life together", etc). She made out with him when he was supposedly so sad about the Congressman's death (a guy he'd only known a few months), so imagine what the death of Drew's ex-wife/mother of his child will "inspire" in her. I'm positive Michael will not be groveling for forgiveness since he knows about the second kiss. He seems to have zero regrets about cheating and wants Willow and esp. Drew to get hurt. I'm wondering if he throws his ONS with Sasha in Willow's face and threatens divorce, she runs out in tears, finds Drew upset at hearing about Sam's death, cue grief sex. Michael betrayed his "friendship" with Chase by sleeping with Chase's wife, Willow, and now has cheated on his wife Willow with his ex-girlfriend/her best friend. Willow has cheated on her husband Chase with Michael, is cheating on her husband Michael with his uncle, and has now been cheated on by her husband. These two really deserve allll the Karma. Hope they - and Drew too - get some major public humiliation while he's running for office.

Nope. CD played out the "next morning" of Michael's revenge sex with Sasha, and we got to see him Sasha's flashbacks to drunkenly making out and landing on the bed. I almost laughed at the hypocrisy of Michael's reaction to hearing about the second kiss after he's just committed adultery. Alexis and Sam talking about the relationships was sweet. Glad they got to have their hugs and joy. I was not expecting "taking a turn for the worse" moment to happen off-screen and I'm cool with Alexis being frantic but to show Jason coming to the hospital in that moment was ugh. I did roll my eyes at how uncomfortable he looks with the kids and then trying to comfort scared Alexis. I'm glad for KeMo that Sam got to be unconscious while Elizabeth, nuLucas and Portia tried to save her. The most moving moment for me was Elizabeth's eyes filled with tears. Ugh Willow, Sasha didn't do anything to you. She knows and told Cody because she saw you and Drew kissing. Well Rocco's going to feel like shit over this for multiple reasons. Preview: Ohhh my heart hurts for Alexis. So, family and friends get to start mourning Sam on Halloween? Does the Show remember it's Maxie's birthday? Ughhh.

It's an innocent mistake if you're a teen or early 20 something, naive, and never had a job before. But Sasha was definitely showing a sense of entitlement/taking advantage of the situation because of her history as Michael's lover and their current odd friendship. It shouldn't take Tracy overhearing and saying something for 30-something Sasha to realize what she was doing was wildly inappropriate. I don't care if Sasha thought Cody's the man of her dreams and his vision is the bestest idea ever.

Cody and Drew were both out at a bar, not at a Quartermaine property, and Cody was not on duty as a Q employee when he confronted Drew. He was not asking Drew for money either. Sasha was asking Michael for money for someone else, while on the Quartermaine property, presumably while she was on duty. She was way out of line.

Yup! Drew is so self-absorbed that he and Nina didn't notice. I laughed at seeing the private investigator Ned hired (who Felicia knows) recording it all whilst enjoying a drink, and then walking out without either Nina or Drew having any idea they were recorded. I loved that Tracy wants Ned to show Michael the video and be rid of Drew. Loved the nuAiden and Laura hug and finally seeing Laura, Elizabeth, Lucky and their son in a scene together. But Lucky not staying by his mom's side all this time because he felt he needed to get a new passport made rightthisminute was shitty and no Laura, it's not your or Luke's fault. Nobody is chasing Lucky right now; he just needs to grow up a lot emotionally. However, JJ's delivery of Lucky's line to Laura that's she is home for him made me melt. I feel like Laura's reaction and the hug was just as much GF's emotional side showing. Loved seeing Laura holding hands with both Elizabeth and Lucky. Is the Show seriously going to do this cheating fall out with tempMichael? I guess Sam dies soon after the next scene (preview) with Alexis. I felt really bad for KeMo because those looked like her goodbye tears to DZ as Dante put the ring on Sam's finger.

Some people may be appalled at what Cody is accusing him of, but I think the real problem will be that Drew got into a fist fight in a blue-collar tavern and there were witnesses which included a Navy SEAL. (The preview shows Drew punching Cody.) In the Social Media age, it will be hard to contain this incident. She told Terri recently that Steven was out of prison and had settled in Arizona. She was surprised to see him at Pentonville for Heather because he told her (off-screen) he didn't want to come back to Port Charles in part because of Heather. Steven has not told her that Curtis paid him to come back to Port Charles briefly, and has offered him money for his and Heather's expenses until they're settled with steady income in Sedona. All Elizabeth knows is that her brother is saying "it's best" for Heather to come with him to get a fresh start away from Port Charles.

I didn't think he would take out his feelings on Sasha. I wonder if AM messed up her line, i.e. I think it was probably supposed to be "Ever since Ace was born..." because a police officer literally dragged Heather out of Wyndemere as Esme was giving birth. Ace is now a little boy. Kudos to GF and NLG; Laura and Alexis's expressions while asking Heather "How far?" 😂 HM does flat out creepy/crazy well. I'm surprised that the little boy who plays Ace was able to ignore her that much when she was all up in his personal space, touching him. He rightly looked uncomfortable when this woman who is a stranger, hugged him. Welp, I did not have drunk Cody outing Drew's mother/daughter grossness at a bar or Dante proposing to Sam (preview) on my Show bingo card. I guess she dies from complications soon after.

I'm sure the ILY in sign language was both for her colleagues and her/Sam's fans who were watching the episode. They had nothing to do with the Show/ABC deciding to fire her. Her voice sounded like she was crying as she was wheeled away. I feel bad for NLG. Her long-term colleague TC who played her nephew Nikolas is tragically deceased, more recently the actresses who played her two younger daughters from the time they were kids got fired, the actor ME who played her dear friend Finn got fired, and now the actress who played her eldest daughter has been fired.

🤣After reading @GHScorpiosRule's response, I wondered if Lucky would be at the hospital today with Laura, and if not what's the explanation for why. But nope, and none despite Anna asking how he's doing. The only positive thing I can say about Anna for the episode is FH's hair looks gorgeous. The only moments I liked about this episode were the Webber Siblings' hug and Elizabeth's reaction to Heather saying I hope it doesn't hurt your feelings that I'm saying goodbye/not staying with you. Bravo BHerbst! Heather telling Steven how she wants to do everything for Ace that she never did for him was a combo of delusional and gross. I don't buy that Robert's happy with a surprise/retcon daughter, and I'm 🙄 over Sasha crying because she doesn't want to give up Cody.

I think the "so good to me" line in character, was supposed to be about her post-Jason life with Dante and his/Lulu's son and her own two kids. Sam was all in within Sonny and Jason's orbit for what, 15 years? She has been happy in a new family life, and her mom and his dad (who is also her former lover/baby daddy and her sister's dad, ICK) are supportive of her when she was no longer in "my life has no meaning without Jason" mindset. The last time I can recall that they shared scenes due to a storyline was in the hospital in March, when Dante got shot/Jason returned. Sam told Sonny she wanted the person who shot Dante to pay.

Sam/KeMo was having her good-bye scenes with long-time colleagues MB and LW. JJ's Lucky and KeMo had only a couple of scenes together when he returned in 2009-11. So, I understand why he wasn't in the scenes involving Sam. I am, however, surprised that Sam didn't have a final scene with Michael/Michael and Jason since Michael was a significant part of Sam's history in her relationship with Jason. I think Chad Duell has been on the show at least 10 years now; he was there when JMB/Lulu left. Sonny was Sam's first baby daddy, is Dante's dad and Rocco's grandfather, so I get why she said, "my people." What was she going to say, "with the exception of Sonny, you've all been so good to me." ? Curtis is garbage, and he doesn't care about Steven Lars' history with Heather. I was just a little taken aback that he asked/paid a guy he's never met to come to Port Charles and then told him your mother is your responsibility - take her away from Port Charles or else because I'm protecting my family. That's Sonny-level audacity and self-absorption.

Whyyy does Sonny have a dead animal mounted in his office? Ewwww. He's not a hunter! Heather kissing Ric on the lips in her excitement was super cringe. The scenes of Grandma Alexis w/Sam's kids, Rocco w/Lulu's hand and Laura in tears in the background, and Alexis and Sam with the two kids were very sweet. The emotional episode got to me. The real tears from multiple actors in that last family scene (- K&M, + Sonny) were so sad. Kelly Monaco looked like she was trying not to ugly cry. Then the final tearful look between Sam and Jason (more KeMo and SB feeling emotional) and Sam and her kids saying their last ILYs to each other. I'm glad Laura got to tearfully thank Sam. Scott Reeves gets to come back for a day just for Curtis to say to Steven Lars (whom he's never met!) "take your mother with you when you leave." WTF?! Ugh. He thinks he can declare/demand that Steven is responsible for Heather?! And Ric suggesting he can move in too for "safety's sake" if Elizabeth temporarily let Heather stay was just gross! BHerbst was awesome with her aw hell no reaction. The only positive thing was Elizabeth got to see her brother again after too many years of separation. Dare I hope they actually get to speak to each other on-screen?

Yes, when she entered his office he greeted her as "Ms. Corbin" - she was Brando's wife when Heather murdered him. I can't recall if Robert/his office tried to build a case against Cyrus when the drugs he gave Sasha caused the heart attack that almost killed her.

They are awful and I'm also confused about the TJ/nuLucas conversation - or did I miss something? Lucas and Molly used to be stepsiblings and Michael and Molly are cousins. In fact, RC's Lucas asked Molly's mother to be his attorney when he divorced Brad after the baby switch was revealed. Everyone connected to Lucas or Michael knows that Lucas gave up baby Wiley to Michael. So how is it that when nuLucas expresses empathy regarding the loss of the baby and says he went through "something similar", it seemed like brand new information to Molly's partner? It's recently been pointed out that they've been together for 10 years, so they were definitely a couple during the baby switch storyline. Also, now Molly says her "marriage" is hanging on by a thread? Have the writers also forgotten that the whole reason Molly agreed on a "domestic partnership" is because she refused to be a wife/get married? Molly, the strain between you and TJ is because you both have shitty relationship skills and communications skills - that's not Ava's fault. I did, however, enjoy her kicking Rick out of their apartment.

Maxie was talking that way while visiting Lulu right after Lulu got transferred from the long-term care facility to GH. Her attitude was "nothing against Sam, but..." Maxie accepted that Sam and Dante became a couple while Lulu's been in a coma, but ultimately, she wants Lulu to wake up and get her husband back (since the split up wasn't because they didn't love each other anymore). I don't think Maxie and Sam have had any real friendship scenes since before Dante and Sam moved in together. Whereas Maxie still thinks of Lulu as her bestie, and then BLQ and Sasha as her close friends.
