Bobbie and Carly need to shut the f up, acting like Lucas has been a foster parent all this time. They are NOT a "safe space" for Lucas. Gag me. UGHHHH at the hypocrisy of Sonny tells Michael he needs to "claim" his son and Lucas has to "respect" it when Michael pauses to consider if Wiley should stay with the father he knows, Lucas. Lucas was acting like Wiley is a nephew he's seen from time to time, who he'll be sad to see go -until the last moment when he got choked up on the line "your son" and handed him over and went to get a hug from Bobbie. The Jerome Siblings scenes about the baby switch were well played. MW's holy S*it faces are great. Ava's fear for her brother is palpable, as is Julian's sadness. I rarely cry when I watch TV, but yowza Willow absolutely broke my heart today from beginning to end. What a great performance of denial, despair, rage and disgust. When she finally let it sink in what all had transpired and collapsed in Chase's arms, I wanted to reach through the screen and hug her tight. Chase looked like he was trying hard not to cry.

A) The fact that the writers consider the two of them as central to this storyline while Lucas is basically a prop/supporting player in "Michael's child was kidnapped/stolen at birth." B) You are correct, but that was at a time when the Qs were still a prominent family, with one of their family members brain damaged and seduced into doing whatever Carly and later Sonny wanted him to do. AJ and Jason were the sons of important doctors Monica and Alan, then the brain damaged brother conspired with Carly to keep his nephew away from his brother. AJ and the rest of the Qs were betrayed by "one of their own" who had been convinced he was doing the right thing. In this storyline, Lucas and Brad were never important. The writing spells that out from the beginning. Lucas is the adopted son of Bobbie; over the years Bobbie has become a mere prop for the family of the daughter she didn't raise who played a significant role in the breakup of her marriage/family. (Bobbie didn't even get a mention when nephew Lucky, whom she did help raise, was mourning the loss of his legal son Jake even though the Jake and Josslyn situation was a redo of when she lost her daughter BJ.) Bio mother of Lucas is deceased and bio father of Lucas is basically a pariah in town. Brad is certainly not a true member of the Corinthos clan and he has no family connections in Port Charles whatsoever that we know of. Therefore Brad is less compelling and easily disposable. That was clear to me when Lucas said how Brad has devastated his family (not him). The writing should have spelled out how Brad betrayed wedding vows to Lucas. Instead, it's spelling out that any pain Lucas is feeling is unimportant because he's just a prop for Michael the important one. Therefore, there won't be a struggle about Michael claiming his son. That last shot of Lucas seeing Wiley in Michael's arm was RC playing sad resignation,. The preview for today's episode has Lucas asking Carly, "What happens now?"

Yes, I'm really confused about Theo's behavior, age and what he knows. Danny at 12 is in middle school, which is the right age to have recently learned about reproduction and also to understand that when two people are married they are only supposed to be intimate with each other. But, does the audience have confirmation that 10-year-old Theo who comes off as being significantly younger knows "where babies come from"? He knows that Daddy did something with Aunty Delilah that was bad and it hurt his Mommy and she went away for a little while. He saw Sophie outraged toward his Daddy. But does he actually know anything about sex, did he ever see Aunty Delilah and Daddy being flirty, how does he understand that flirting can lead to a baby and thus Daddy being flirty with Dakota upset him?

He was carefully moving around while Michael kept Nelle talking. His body language told me he knew immediately when Willow wasn't in the room that Nelle must have knocked Willow out or stashed her somewhere in the apartment, but she would say first priority is to make sure the baby is okay. So he carefully gets up right behind Nelle, when she's too distracted by Michael to see exactly where he is. Then once Wiley is safely in Michael's arms and another officer has secured Nelle, he goes looking for Willow. While Chase now knows that Wiley is not Willow's biological son, she thinks he is and loves him and Chase knows that. I could see her being angry at Chase and Michael if Nelle got away with Wiley and disappeared because one or both of them focused on her needs first.

A and B) They didn't actually say why she was under arrest. I assumed she was handcuffed and arrested because of the attack/assault on Willow. That apartment was clearly the scene of a fight and Willow was unconscious in her own home. C) I agree. I wonder if the re-intro of Taggert, and the emphasis on the school dance, will lead to Elizabeth telling Cam she was raped after a school dance when she was his age and Taggert was the detective who handled the case. That is why he's so concerned about Trina not being alone when she goes home. I don't understand the energy-less scenes today. Lucas had a few tears. I don't think Brad even shed a tear. Same for Bobbie. You would think Lucas found out his husband stole his credit cards, went on a spending spree and left him in debt instead of lying about their child for a year and a half. Another case of GH telling instead of showing is Michael yelling at Brad for hurting the "people you claim to love." Brad has claimed to love Lucas and Wiley, not the rest of them. Brad and Lucas with Wiley have had scenes of bonding with Elizabeth and her family only. Not once that I can recall has Brad been seen (before this storyline or during) having warm one-on-one family moments with Carly, Michael, Sonny or Josslyn. I think he once referenced seeing Kristina since she helped out with Wiley. He's had very few scenes even with Lucas, so this attempt by the writers to make it seem like Brad was close to and betrayed a big, loving family is a FAIL. The only truly positive thing I can say about the Wiley storyline scenes is that neither Sonny nor Jason got to be heroic in saving the baby from crazy Nelle.

Brad said no one else was involved in the baby switch (that is true; he confessed to Julian however long after the fact). Julian spoke up for Brad a little, and Bobbie snapped back "You would defend him" (um, hypocrite much Bobbie?) and his response was he doesn't condone what Brad did but the motivation is understandable.

So GHScorpiosRule, you missed Carly telling Jason that she doesn't care if she sounds like a hypocrite, that they were trying to give Michael the best life possible while Nelle and Brad "were just being selfish." News flash, you snarling shitty excuse for a mother: it's not a twisted version of history repeating itself. The only true difference between what you did and what they did is that you didn't hand anyone a deceased newborn. Of course Bobbie says it's "not an excuse" when Brad said Wiley was safer with them than Michael because of the kidnappings, etc. that Michael/Corinthos sibs survived. She's one of Sonny's top apologists. I wanted to see significant emotion between Bobbie and Lucas, so I was really disappointed. That comforting hug was not enough. He should be sobbing, and she should seem devastated for him. HATED hearing Michael say "your grandson" to Sonny. And how did Sonny even know where Chase and Willow live? I was ticked off that Chase just carried unconscious Willow out, to take her to GH. She could have had a neck injury! Isn't standard for the police to call paramedics when someone's on the floor and in and out of consciousness?! HATED seeing everyone's joyous smiles (except Lucas) as Sonny and Michael walked into Casa Corinthos with Wiley. Also WTH with Curtis leaping to the theory that Taggert having a daughter he (Curtis) didn't know about means maybe Jordan is secretly Trina's mother. The only good stuff about their storyline today was when he asked Cam if he's related to Elizabeth, and told Cam his test is making sure Trina gets home safely after the dance (because he and the audience remembers when he worked the Elizabeth Webber rape case after the h.s.'s V-day dance).

Aiden. While Aiden is Jason's first born son's half-brother, he has never had anything to do with Jasam or Carson and their kids.

That scene needed Robin, i.e. Robin shows up because she was invited to the Bon Voyage party for Lucas and Brad. She walks in on Carly's screeching and says "Hypocrite much? How long did you lie to/keep Michael away from AJ and Spencer away from Nikolas until I told them the truth because you were never going to?" Robin and Lucas had a relationship growing up, whereas Carly has never actually had a relationship with Lucas until the writers manufactured one at the last minute for this storyline. Robin is an ideal friend/extended family member to comfort Lucas as this awful time.

Not so far, but the only people in that room right now older than Carly are Julian (who may not know that bit of history) and Bobbie (who isn't about to bring that up while her son is crying and his marriage is imploding). I have a tiny bit of hope that might happen when the Qs hear about this (emphasis on tiny since Tracy has left PC again). I am happy for Monica that she gains a great grandchild after all the losses she has survived. I want a scene of Monica in the Q crypt, talking to AJ and Alan's spirits about his grandson/ their great grandson.

Carly has been at the center of too many dramas to even remember them all at this point in GH's history, so in too many ways this moment of drama is same old, same old. I've had way more than enough of Carly's screeching, hypocrisy, etc. at whomever she feels has unfairly wronged her family/bff. (I'm throwing in the bff mention because I remember her stalking into Elizabeth's home, looking at baby Jake, then screeching at Elizabeth that she was going to make sure big bad Elizabeth didn't get her way/ that Jason would get shared custody of Jake.) I would be fine, even applaud, a high-drama moment between Michael and Brad about betraying him and Lucas, with Lucas raging at Brad the entire time. This scene came off as Carly taking aim at a delinquent minor in defense of her own minor child, while completely ignoring her own brother's devastation. A scene that should have been about both Lucas and Michael's heartbreak was instead about Carly, and her prize possession son Michael being betrayed by the husband of the brother she rarely acknowledged in life until this storyline started.

UGH at Carly's extended yelling at Brad. Yes, I know Michael yelled at him too and spoke about all Willow has been through (unlike Carly who only cares about her own immediately family + Jason's), but this should have been a face off between Lucas, Brad and Michael. Carly needs to shut her hypocritical mouth and take a seat in the corner because it's not her fight. Hey Carly, Michael has not missed out on more than a year of Wiley/Jonah's life!! Good for Willow for punching Nelle in the face. That fight scene was 1,000 percent better than the Josslyn-Nelle fight scene. Nelle seemed like she definitely was not expecting Willow to fight back so hard. Trina turning out to be Taggert's daughter is a cool twist.

I changed my mind! This dis is the best thing about GH today🤣🤣🤣 What I wouldn't give to hear Tracy say this about/to Sam (I think Nelle is too young to have seen Flashdance?). She has the appropriate contempt for Jasam as well as more experience dealing with Jasam than Nelle. I'm really disappointed with the way Tracy's brief return was wasted. She didn't use her talents/skills to clean up Michael's mess re: Nelle and rub it in his face that "this is how adults with experience at ELQ take care of things," she didn't interact with Lulu, reminisce/argue with Monica, or even have a real conversation with Finn.

This is why I hate the characterization of Lulu as a "reporter." She's exactly as you describe. Aside from the "catch the guy who's breaking into women's homes" thing that introduced Dev, I believe every story she's gone after is a sensationalist one that is connected to her circle of family/friends in some way. She's not a journalist. I will give the Show credit in that I did laugh today at Sam giving Nelle bitchface and Nelle's "See ya, roomie" in response.

She walked into the Metrocourt restaurant and overheard Julian talking to Olivia about it because he wanted to take Leo to Lucas and Brad's "party."

Yup, that's a given with Nelle. I was again just blown away by how incredibly stupid Brad was to willingly tell her where Wiley is, and that it didn't occur to him his honesty would put Wiley in danger, not to mention Willow. In TJ's place, I would have been annoyed by Sam's behavior before Molly even started her rant because of her friend's upcoming wedding. If they were already engaged and wanted to share that news with you Sam, they would. There are days when it's really hard to decide which Mob moll gets the prize for being the most hypocritical, annoying, obnoxious and intrusive, Sam or Carly. I hope the brothers' conversation helped Finn decide he and Anna are done. I would find it far more believable if Finn said Violet keeps asking for her mommy. She hasn't lived with Finn and Anna nearly long enough to consider Anna's place "home." The one thing that surprised me was Lucas remembering Brad's confession in the last couple moments of the show - I really thought that would be the ending cliffhanger for Friday.

I knew Valentin was a fakeout before he "saw" Nina run in and yell at him that he would never see her or Charlotte again. NO WAY would he shoot Jax at point blank range in front of teenage Josslyn and upstanding teacher Dustin (or any reliable witnesses). Script error: Valentin said on the phone to Charlotte "nothing Daddy can't fix." He and Charlotte always refer to him as "Papa." Has Valentin always had that big tattoo? I assume he's going to just be talking to a figment of his imagination in a red dress/coat and we'll never actually get to see Helena's face or hear her respond. Brad gets stupider by the day. As does Sam. I don't get what Epiphany means by "my people" but I liked her reprimanding/yelling at Jasam. WTG, Finn. I don't feel sorry for Anna. If she never actually thought that protecting Peter would bring consequences, she's just as bad as Sam. Peter is an adult who has chosen to lie and commit crimes like Jason; Violet is an innocent little girl like Danny or Scout and needs to be protected. Today she strongly reminded me of Sam with all the weeping and attempts to justify her actions and wanting Finn to give Peter the benefit of the doubt out of love for her. Ummm...he already went into a dangerous situation and saved Peter's life for your sake, Anna.

It wasn't concern. She's just a bully; she's been rude to me in other scenarios in the class as well (not about my body) and sometimes tries to butt in to conversations I'm having with other classmates. So I rarely acknowledge her existence and I walk away if she's approaching anyone I'm friendly with,etc. I think she's a very entitled person, although I have wondered if she does not like a younger white woman being friends with/friendly with with her "sisters." ETA: I agree with you that it's not Kate's job to dress to make other people comfortable. MBayGal's comment seemed to me to imply that Kate/overweight women in a scenario involving wearing bathing suits are deliberately dressing "inappropriately" to target people who feel like she does about seeing their bodies in swimwear. That is both a really rude and absurd implication, and the truth is a woman may wear whatever bathing suit she wants in a scenario and doesn't owe anyone an apology. If another person is uncomfortable with the situation, they can leave (unless they are the owner of that pool/beach/resort.

I just laughed so much at Sam's outrage over not getting her deal as she tried to help in "bringing a murderer to justice!!" because Robert's boss(es) don't want to work with the Mob after the Mob is responsible for the recent surge in violence. Robert's sorry (but not for you) attitude is also amusing. I rolled my eyes that Sam wants to run away with Jason and the kids because their life is so unfairrrrr..... That crying, simpering face of hers as Jason comforted her is just as loathsome as when Carly cries and whines about whatever is going on with her family. Show, making Anna be Luke Skywalker in her desire to turn Peter aka Darth Vader to the good side because he never had a fair life as Faison's son is such a bad look for her. I'm surprised Finn didn't get any of CF/Princess Leia's lines verbatim today. Peter did look worried when Robert told him Anna can't protect him from Jason. @GHScorpiosRule you need to watch this episode to hear Robert say, "Congratulations, you've protected a murderer" to Anna. I also laughed a lot at Valentin's WTF face and shock/outrage that he's not related to Alexis. Maxie is super annoying trying to demand answers of Jax about the kiss with Nina ... and what is that shapeless black dress/robe/whatever that she's wearing in the workplace?? Preview: Good to see Finn standing up for himself and Anna crying in the preview.

I think it actually first started when she was fan girling over/had a fling with Noah's doppelganger, Eli Love. That was awful. While I hated the #JusticeForDuke b.s., at least that was somewhat believable because of Anna's history with Duke.

Nope; he had just told them he was going to present the provided info for their deal. He wouldn't be doing her a favor right now, since he and Anna were angry with each other when he left her place and the last exchange at her door between Peter and Robert was hardly friendly. So true. I wanted the parole officer to accompany Robert when he saw them kissing in that exam room and be like, "Parole revoked."

Has Sam taken lessons from Brenda in how to wear sleeves?? She acted like a bratty, impatient teenager with Robert and Jason, so I legit laughed out loud that Robert announced to them "The deal's off." Valentin is kinda tolerable with Alexis. She was good with both him and with Nik. Her mentioning her brothers surprised me. I don't buy for a second that Franco has ever thought about finances re: Cameron going off to college. Is Nik hoping Ava will cheat on him with Franco, thus voiding their deal? I'm astonished that Brook Lynn Ashton/Quartermaine had a serious scene and was good in it. Her appeal to Sonny to have last moments of grace with Mike instead of trying to force a cure was well done.

He is, however, friends with her mother Alexis. He's already voiced concern about Violet's safety and Anna's judgement regarding Peter. He doesn't want Anna to suffer the fallout from covering for Peter (e.g. career, family's trust). Yet Anna won't listen to him out of a blinding case of very misplaced guilt. Now after their AA meeting, Finn wants to know what Alexis is thinking about/holding inside and she spells out that she's worried about her daughter Sam, and why. She says "from your lips" and he replies, "Exactly." I don't think Finn gives a damn about Sam or Jason personally, but he cares plenty about Violet, Anna and Alexis. I interpreted his resolve to "betray" Anna as an effort to be a good/protective father to Violet, to save Anna from herself, and also do what he can to take away a big stress factor in the life of his friend the recovering alcoholic, Alexis.

I want Robert, or someone to point out to Anna that when Maxie sounds like Anna in her defensiveness, you know there's a serious problem of judgement. Sonny mumbled so much I have no idea what was going on with the end of the phone conversation - Show lost me after Sonny said he intended to see his dad but then he was unable to do so.

I see Carly was talking to/at Brando in an exam room, and my first thought was, "he already got shot for her, hasn't he suffered enough?" It's so gross that she wants leverage against him and his mom. Glad that Robert gave Anna crap for pressuring/demanding that he look the other way regarding Peter since he's done it for her and other agents in the past. That argument *might* work if Peter had ever served/worked for the WSB - is she getting medication that causes stupidity/memory failure in her tea? I can't tell if that last moment was Peter glaring at Robert or giving him a look of "are you betraying my mother?"
