Then today Ric interrupts. I actually liked the Ric/Elizabeth/Lucky scene. Well played by RH (tears in his eyes) and Lucky rolling his eyes made me chuckle. JJ can be so funny in his subtle acting. So now Maxie and Carly are friends? The three ladies' scene would have made more sense if nuLulu was celebrating a birthday. I assume this guy with the dark good looks that Lucas is pouring his drunk heart out to and wanting to hook up with will turn out to be Noted Bigot Natalia's son/Blaze's brother. I thought Lulu would have more tears when she hugged Charlotte. LOL that Willow accuses Sasha of seducing Jason when he was mourning Sam. Willow knows/has witnessed next to nothing about Jason and Sam. KMc finally showed Willow acting unsure of Drew/a little like a woman telling a man what he wants to hear because of his emotional power over her.

Oh how I've missed JJ!! Lucky's reactions to his family today really made me giggle. How long has it been since JS and DZ were both shirtless in a scene? Good friendship scene for them; sad that it's about to blow up. I feel sorry for Scout that Grandma Alexis is the only trying to look out for her. NLG is very good in concerned grandmother mode. Something is very wrong when I watch a scene between Willow, Drew, and Carly where Carly is the most tolerable and reasonable character.

The look on nuLulu's face when Dante admitted in a roundabout way that he still loves her was well played by AH. Lulu seemed to fall in love with him all over again by watching him with Bailey Lu. That little girl is adorable. Watching Laura and Tracy together, even when it's brief, is a treat. Are we supposed to be excited about seeing Ms. Travolta again? Meh.

NuLulu is an adult, not a teenager that Laura can tell "you're grounded." Laura has never held Nikolas up to any standard, which is part of his problem. For years she was not hard on him for the horrible things he's done out of Mom Guilt that maybe he wouldn't have turned out this way if she had raised him. She said to him and then to Lulu she was proud of him for taking responsibility and turning himself in for his crime(s), but that's not really holding him to a standard IMO. I get why Laura is not being harsh with her daughter. She lost years with Lulu twice now, and Lulu almost died. That's a lot for a mother to endure. She had a scene with Martin where she explained understanding how Lulu is feeling because of her own history ('wig on a stick'.) She's not okay with Lulu running off to Prague (she said so) and other behavior/words re: Charlotte but she knows she can't control an adult child. I understand Lulu's perspective in that BLQ has literally had two + decades to let Dante know she gave birth to their child and gave the child up for adoption. Not telling him when she was a scared teenager was one thing, but she doesn't have a good reason for never telling him given she's supposed to care about him as a friend, knows he's a good guy, and she's certainly not afraid that "Uncle Sonny" who's "the sweetest" would be a danger to the grandchild. Yes, Dillon was married. He got married when he was a teenager because he thought his girlfriend was going to die. Yes, Lulu made the choice to have an abortion, but she didn't lie to/withhold the information about the pregnancy and abortion to him for the rest of his time in Port Charles. This is all so ridiculous. If the Show hadn't made BLQ such an "Uncle Sonny" adorer, the logical storyline would be that BLQ thought about telling Dante the truth once they were adults, but then when it was revealed he's Sonny's kid, she decided to hide the truth forever to protect the child knowing how Sonny feels entitled to seeing and having relationships with the young members of his family and knowing also that Michael got shot in the head, the children were kidnapped, etc.

It could be that Sam knows Jacob from another time in the past, like Elliot has been Alice's talk -to in 1999. His anger toward Del about her not being "honest" about Jacob's return and then his angry/exasperated reaction the first time Del said Jacob left/ran off and she didn't know when he would be back, seemed like he's personally invested in Jacob not just upset for his girlfriend Del that her son's return was not easy. It could be that Casey is actually Alice's granddaughter. I've read speculation that Alice has a daughter and she and Max Goodwin's son get together and have a daughter.

Dante could be told and he could decide not to tell his mother since BLQ and Lois both decided never to tell Ned. I'm confused about a few scenes today. Why was BLQ dressed for a winter funeral in her bedroom in the confrontation with nuLulu? Has Charlotte ever even met Jason before? He informs her he's taking her back to Port Charles because he "promised Rocco" and she just complies after refusing to go with Anna? She's a teenager so I was expecting a tantrum about not wanting to go back. Since Gio does not yet know he's Tracy's great grandson, why would he and Emma involve themselves in the Q crypt family drama between Tracy and Drew? Emma's grandma was not the police presence on scene. They're college kids so they should be involved in college/campus drama even if it's lame. I rolled my eyes at Chase arresting his grandmother-in-law for assault. That's the lite version of Dante investigating or arresting Sonny/Jason and associates for crimes. The Dante-Maxie stuff was good, but why does Dante look so shocked to find out that Lulu is still in love with him? She has not once mentioned deceased Dustin since she and Dante talked about the day of the explosion and her going into a coma. I assume they'll start making their way back together once the Gio secret is out and Dante feels betrayed by BLQ, Cody and Lois.

Yes, it's been mentioned a few times by different characters that Colton's brother took off at some point after their father died. Now that Elliot has read his mother's letter that indicates she decided to "jump" for "love", I assume she fell in love with Colton's brother while married to Vic, and she and Colton's brother jumped into the pond to tt and leave Port Haven, including Elliot, behind. I'm also going to guess that Sam has now witnessed Jacob jump into the pond (without Jacob knowing) and that Casey is either Jacob's future daughter or granddaughter. She seems in awe of him, similar to when Alice met Colton.

On this Show, nbd considering: -Carly was both Rocco's stepgrandmother and his cousin (he's Lulu kid) while she was married to Sonny. -Donna, Carly and Sonny's daughter, is Lulu's cousin and Dante's little sister. So, she is both cousin and aunt to Rocco. -Molly and Kristina, James and Bailey Lu, Danny and Scout, Wiley and Amelia are all siblings as well as cousins to each other. -Ava was Sam's aunt and simultaneously her cousin-in-law while Ava was married to Nikolas. (Ava has been Alexis' sister-in-law and niece-in-law.)

NuLulu goes to Carly for advice about the BLQ/Dante secret baby news. Oh, Show. I was actually surprised Carly didn't shriek once (for now) but c'mon, Robin did not "wreck" your lives. AH was very good in showing layers to her reaction and thoughts/feelings about Dante, BLQ, and their families. This is probably an unpopular opinion but I think Lulu has been a good character so far when she's having relationship scenes with her mom, Lucky, Rocco, and Dante that aren't all about finding Charlotte. Tracy throwing Stone, Karen and Jason in Sonny's face in front of Lois, BLQ, Dante and Gio was well written and equisitely acted by JE. The Tracy-Gio scene was great too; they have good family chemistry. It seems that Gio is the new Violet in her life; can't wait for their reactions to finding out Tracy is his great grandmother and that Lois has been lying to his face since he was a baby. I felt really bad for him today when he talked about his past. Alexis being so blunt with Sidwell is as entertaining as when Alexis has no time for Carly. Kudos to NLG. ETA: Elizabeth's line to Drew today about Oscar was kind of her to say, but I don't buy for a moment that Drew and/or Trina and Joss think about or talk about memories of Oscar alone or with others.

Yes, he and BLQ had a conversation a few weeks (could be months, with GH's time?) ago where he said he remembered her saying she was pregnant, and he agreed to drop her off to take a bus. He confirmed to her he never told Dante or anyone else that she was pregnant. Thus, his "what if something did come from it" line today in response to Dante line's about that summer and BL.

Tracy, telling Sasha she's smarter than Willow is not the compliment you may think it is. Highlight of the week: Maxie today saying "Lulu, what are you doing?!" with the subtext in her tone clearly saying "Lulu, you IDIOT, what the hell?" KSt is great at delivering lines just the right way. LOL at Maxie wondering if Lulu trying to break into a hotel room in a maid's uniform was role-playing with a new fling. So how long now 'til Lulu blows up the Gio secret? AH did a great job with the WTF?! reaction to Marty's notes. I am hoping to see Dante and Lucky re-establishing their friendship and more Dante-Lulu scenes of getting closer once Dante realizes BLQ, Cody and Lois have betrayed his trust/kept this secret. Curtis being in scenes with Laura is one of the very few times he's tolerable.

Yes, technically JJ was 28 when Lucky and Elizabeth's son Aiden was born in 2010, but that's close enough to 30 something that I believe he was supposed to be in his 30s esp. because he was a father figure to Elizabeth's toddler son Cameron, who is now over 20 years old/in college. Given that the Aiden character is supposed to be 14 (turning 15 in a few months), Lucky should be 40 or older. JJ is now 42 so his age fits but they aged the Kristina actress up too much. The age thing isn't an issue with Lucky and Lulu IMO because they're not in a storyline together that doesn't fit with their past storyline the way the storyline is working with Lucky and Kristina. Even putting aside the fact that Lucky is an alcoholic/addict who should absolutely NOT be working as a bartender, Kristina was born in 2002 while JY's Lucky was engaged to marry Elizabeth and was involved with her sister. I know, I know - the Show has done far worse than this. It just bothers me.

Yes, Lucky and Dante were the cops investigating when LA's Kristina got beaten up by Kiefer and blamed Ethan. Kristina was a high school student whereas Lucky was a 30-something (alcoholic/addict) with kids, so it's weird to me that he's now working for her as a bartender.

She doesn't. She was looking for answers from Del and Colton's youth/their courtship time because Del asked her to find out. Del was reacting to finding out from Jacob that he saw young Colton - her boyfriend/fiance - twice in the 1800s yet Colton never said a word to her that he could actually time travel. Colton was more likely to be honest with his "friend" Alice than with his daughter Kat's friend Alice in 1999. Although I won't be surprised now if 1999 Colton at least suspected that Alice is a time traveler related to his family.

Kristina is his boss, since she hired him to be the bartender at Charlie's. They have had multiple scenes together "at work" before the Lucky/Cyrus fight that put Lucky in the hospital.

That was some great facial acting by JJ when Kristina said to Lucky that Ava's swanning around after putting "three people in the ground including my daughter." Lucky, hit the patient in distress call button. Hey Kristina, your beloved dad has killed way more than three people, either by his own hand or Jason's. She should be on the ground, gasping for air from choking on the hypocrisy of her words. Is the Show still keeping Noted Bigot Natalia around because of wanting more storyline for Carlos Rota's character?

't Very true! Also, having an alcoholic or drug addict as a parent doesn't mean it's inevitable their child will be one. Asking Finn to be a sperm donor is not the worst idea nor is it radical esp. given how much Chase cherishes the memories of their dad. I read a story about a gay married couple who wanted a biological family. Let's call them Husband A and Husband B. Husband A provided the sperm, Husband B's sister was the egg donor, and a female relative of one of the husbands was the surrogate.

The only thing two things I care to comment on today: It's nice to see the trend continues of KSt wearing clothes that look good on her, as opposed to the blanket/curtains/trash bag-resembling clothing that the Show had on the Maxie character for a few years. Alexis, it's Chase and Dante's fault that Danny ran off to confront Cyrus about his mother's death. NuLucas gets to mention Elizabeth and Lucky but yet, no sign of them at the hospital. Alexis remembering Sam through rose-colored glasses is disappointing but understandable, and I really liked the Alexis-NuLucas mourning/bonding hug. Again, no Elizabeth or Lucky in previews.

I understand what you're saying but Sonny didn't say Lucky's a hero like his parents - he was talking about Luke but not any specific reference to a heroic act which is why I call b.s. I would have preferred he said, "when you and Luke saved everyone from Mikkos/the Cassadines." Although Sonny may not even know anything about the freezing the world/Ice Princess stuff since it was a long time before the Show decided to create the Sonny character.

Lucky is not in the preview for tomorrow, nor is Elizabeth.

If Carly was so darned worried about Joss, why didn't SHE show up personally at HER FAMILY DINER to see her daughter, instead of Trina? I just can't with Anna assuming Jason must have killed Cyrus and acting like it was a big personal betrayal of their friendship/connection/whatever she thinks is between them. The Marty-Laura scene was great. Kudos for the real tear(s) and looking sick as he took in what Laura told him. I understand the Sonny-Laura moment of reflection on Luke because Lucky just became stable after saving Elizabeth, but his line about being a hero like Luke made me roll my eyes. When exactly did Luke save someone from being murdered by a serial killer? On an unrelated note, GF really looks stunning in jewel tones. Did MW put in extensions or did I miss that her hair has grown a lot?

Totally agree. I feel like this episode proved Kat isn't in love with either Elliot or Thomas. I felt sorry for Elliot. He deserves a woman who wants a real long-term relationship and is "all in." I'm not sure Kat will ever be that way with anyone. When she was college age, she intended to leave Brady because she had grown bored and wanted adventure but got back together with him and married him because she turned out to be pregnant with Alice. She's again showing she wants constant drama and adventure, rather than cooking dinner together or talking about boring (non tt) subjects with guests like Elliot's past teaching experiences. She risked her life again by going back to 1814, without a thought for Alice. The one moment that I thought was especially contrived for this Show was teen Colton showing up again in 1814 at just the right moment to save his future son from the burning Landry home. I guess now we know for sure middle-aged dying Colton recognized Kat from 1814 and must have seen the "My Katherine" painting while he was hanging out with Evelyn at Lingermore at some point (because evil Goodwin never destroyed it). I was amused he figured out from the painting and a look that Susanna is in love with Kat, yet Kat still has no idea esp. because she's pre-occupied going between Thomas and Elliott.

So NotBrennan! was right outside when Joss shot a serial killer? And wants her to never tell anyone what she did, including Carly? But he has Cyrus's body removed and the place cleaned up so that Anna and Dante still think Cyrus is out somewhere and a danger to the public? Ok, Show. The nonchalant way he's talking to Joss is creepy - like he thinks he's talking to a slightly experienced young Anna. Is this a lame way to break up his new relationship with Carly? Hey Anna, "we" didn't do anything. You have evidence and details because of Elizabeth and Lucky deciding to get answers on their own. BLQ, Chase is not going to be so understanding when he hears his best friend was the father of your retconned baby. So Drew is behaving this way because he's jealous that Jason got to grow up with the Quartermaines and they still "favor" him while rejecting Drew? The grossest moment of the Show though was Drew spitting out that he, Willow and her children are all the family Scout needs. Poor Scout!!! The BEST moment was Laura and nuLulu and Elizabeth and Aiden hugging when Portia told them she and Isaiah (re)-stabilized JJ's Lucky. Spencers for the win!! But Kevin should be there, too. ETA: @GHScorpiosRule This marks the first episode that Laura, Lucky (though unconscious), nuLulu, Aiden and Elizabeth have all been in a scene together. Happy Friday for me. The Tracy-Jason scene was unexpected.

Josslyn, who has never handled a gun before, kills Cyrus? Oh whatever Show!!! Glad to see Elizabeth, Laura, Aiden and then nuLulu together. Brennan's face was like "Oh, huh" upon seeing Cyrus's body on the floor? What? BLQ finally confesses to the retconned pregnancy. Nice reaction face by JS. I think that's JJ in the hospital bed for the "clear!" preview?

She was a teenager at the time, which makes a big difference. Way too many teenagers/young adults overshare. Now we've had adults BLQ and Chase making their own personal business very public knowledge, literally running off in front of the family to go upstairs to try to conceive and even bragging to Tracy about having a lot of sex for operation baby. They are certainly not a couple who have shown they highly value their privacy.
