I don't care if these stupid charges against Nina stick or not. At least something is happening because Nina has suffered no ill effects for dragging the stupid Nixon Falls storyline another six months. She has all friends supporting her. She still has her fabulous job that she abandoned for six months. She even still gets to visit Wylie if she wants to even though she had only visited him once during those six months in Nixon Fall.

Frankly, I am getting tired of Nina hemming and hawing and acting like a victim and asking her friends to forgive her for what she did when NONE of them gave her any grief at all for what she did. Not even to tell her "Girl , you crazy" for she did.

Liz did the same thing that Nina did with Jake Doe when she found out that (incorrectly) that he was Jason. When the truth came out, Liz not only had to deal with the diapproval of people she cared about, she felt that she was so ostracized and had no friends. So much so she was desperate to allow a serial killer to get close to her so she had someone who would support her.

Liz, a legacy character who has been on the show for over 2 decades.

But Nina somehow gets treated better than her? Unbelievable.

I believe it's because Maurice wants to work with CW and the writers are giving Nina leeway to make that happen.  MB doesn't even bother hiding what he wants on social media, he makes it very clear he wants this pairing and wants to play more of the Mike personality rather than Sonny. I wish he would just retire already.

Liz was treated far worse and then got paired with the show's resident sexual assaulter.

Sonny definitely needs to be involved in this case against Nina, in her defense either by choice or by subpoena.  That SHOULD kickstart some movement in their story.  

Also, there should be a scene of Carly and Sonny coming down the stairs and him having a shit fit because Donna won't stop screaming and asking for her daddy.

Yes but this makes her eligible to be Sonny's new girlfriend (when she is of age of course).

That would mean Sonny would 'acheive' sleeping with three generations of the Davis clan. (Alexis, Sam, Scout) An idea so abhorrent in it's ickiness that it will inevitably happen.

To me though, and opinions may vary, I understand,  but the Mike character was not that different from the Sonny character.  His wardrobe was different,  his setting was different but he was still a bully who wanted everything his own way and exploded and screamed at people. He wasn't shy about using physical force and threats to get what he wanted.  If MB was trying to play a different personality, he totally failed to me

You're not keeping up with the rewrites. I think you meant nine months. 

That said, I wish I can purge that NF storyline out of my mind.

So Spencer pled not guilty without even thinking that he would need bail and that he'd stay in jail if he couldn't post bail. He doesn't even have $5 to his name since his father cut him off.

And I wish Laura and Kevin would've just stayed out of this. I'm glad they're forcing Spencer to get a job, but they're undercutting Nikolas. And yes, Nikolas is a trash father. And Esme inviting herself to live with Kevin. Her going elsewhere should have been a condition for Laura and Kevin taking Spencer in. Kevin already knows she's bad news. 

Sam telling Jason that if she'd told him about Drew, then maybe Drew would be alive or whatever. SMH. We get it show, everyone is useless compared to Jason Morgan, ordinary man and hero for all days.

I'm thinking that Peter had returned to Port Charles anyway. 

The scenes with Vicky and Robert were delightful. It was so nice to watch two veteran actors do what they do best.

I have to say that MB has been playing Sonny a little less tense for lack of better words, like someone told him to use his indoors voice or something. I didn't hate his scenes with Ava. 

Michael is such an obnoxious douchenozzle. I'm glad Willow is pushing back on this, but I'm sure she'll fall back into the whole Michael is so smart, Michael so awesome and whatever other nauseating thing she says about him.

A: that's not his job.  he's not a cop. 

and B: Sonny was going to kill Julian if he chose not to testify against Cyrus.  just because Cyrus's men did it first doesn't mean if Julian said to Sonny "you know, I'm not feeling like testifying against Cyrus, i'm going to go to Canada, see you." Sonny would have gone. "Oh, okay have a nice trip, send me an address, I'll write you."

well, Phylis, Maxie, Ava and Curtis all basically did say they were totally judging her for her actions, and she was completely wrong with what she did. I would argue - because Nina is basically owning up to the fact what she did was wrong, that's why most of the harsher judgements aren't coming. Usually, most people don't. Since Nina's come back to Port Charles, she's never not said she wasn't wrong in what she did. I think if she were more like Carly or whatever, and basically going around going she did no wrong ever in life, more vitriol (outside of the Corinthii) would be more vitriolic against her. 

to be fair. I don't even really like Nina so it doesn't really  bother me either way. 

I can't comment on Liz because i wasn't watching during that whole thing.

Same, and Sonny was pretty low-key (grading on the Sonny curve) when both Jason and Carly admitted they were about to have sex on their wedding night. No barware was hurt! That has to be a first.

Kind of, but not really. Liz actually had sex with Jake, which is not what Nina did with Sonny. The fact that she turned out to be wrong about Jake being Drew and not Jason (and that sentence only makes sense if you watch soaps) doesn't make it less relevant that she slept with him under false pretenses.

What gets me is that Smike said about eleventy times that he Didn't. Want. To. Know. He even had some line about feeling like he wasn't a good person before, which is probably the most self-awareness he's had in a long time. Not entirely facetiously, wouldn't that make him Nina's accomplice? It can't be any more ridiculous than her being arrested for identity fraud.

[Gam2]

Is it impossible to believe that MB will ever be let go from this show? He really cannot remember his lines no matter the other actors involved or the circumstances. I can’t even watch this poor man anymore. It’s too uncomfortable and sad to watch him deteriorate every day. Sad for him, his family and his coworkers.

usually they go. "Was I wrong?" or "Maybe I was wrong?" then the smoke blower up their ass that day goes. NO YOU WEREN'T WRONG, YOU ARE SO AWESOME, AND BRAVE AND TRUE! and they go "oh yah - I get it from you Mom!"  or  "Mom that's you" and they go *preen* "That's so right!" and continue to be hypocritical buttheads

I've said it before. 
the fact that Monica hasn't told Michael that keeping Nina away from Wiley is selfish and wrong, and the exact same thing Carly and Sonny did to Alan and her is criminal. Like let's review. 

Michael doesn't want to have Nina around Wiley because Nina said "I'm your other mommy's mommy." (the truth) and that it hurt poor Willow's feelings. But Michael is perfectly happy having his mob father and mob moll mother drool over that boy, where there is a 99% chance that one day he will be blowed up, shot in the head, or something Mob related. Okay there Michael.

Have you seen Tootsie? There is this old goat on the soap in that movie. He can't remember his lines and the female actresses on the soap call him "The Tongue" because he insists on love scenes with all the young actresses and always slips them the tongue. I'm not sure if it's more sad or scary that that film came out before MB started on GH because he IS that character.

Spencer is in fact spoiled, but he’s also been obscenely neglected by Nikolas. Everything he’s done is driven by his knowing that he’s not Nikolas’s world, not because he thinks he’s the center of the universe. Sonny was ridiculous pretending he’s just the bestest at mobstering because he never gets caught. It was amusing to have him up against the extremely tall Nick Chavez though. The toughest tiny mobster. If only Spencer had another uncle who could give him life lessons…

What’s up with Esme wearing sneakers in every scene?  Is that a thing right now, or does she have an issue wearing other types of women’s shoes?

[TheMediaHo]

Am I hallucinating or was there a snippet of a preview that showed Drew ripping off his bulletproof vest in front of Peter, as if they were in cahoots? I sure hope Drew is playing Peter (and ends up killing him for all the time he missed with Scout. Olbrecht could watch.

Even though TIIC have made us all sick of Peter, I've got to admit they've kept us all guessing if or when he's ever going away. I too think Drew is playing him, and if anyone is ever going to put an end to Heinrik it will either be Drew or Lisel. I'd really hate it if JaBorg throws on his cape and finally ends Peter, hope that it's not inevitable.

but as Robert is in Greece and Mac is Offscreen who knows how that process actually happened.  

Nina would never be arrested if it had to go through Robert or Mac. Rather, they would show up with a key to the city and thank her for keeping Sonny at bay for NINE MONTHS!

Also I’m laughing that somehow Nina is already up in front of a judge (in a different county than the “crime” was committed even) but still no mention of Jason being brought up on charges in the connection of the death of his mob rivals or that he shouldn’t have been allowed to leave the country.

I think Jordan was already carted off to Albany. Dante came to Casa Corinthos that night to talk to Jason about it, but was distracted by Sonny's return from the dead, and then went off to Monte Carlo. I don't think anyone has mentioned it since. I'm sure no one will care until they decide to bring Joey Novak and Cyrus back for revenge.

I think making up a crime for Nina is just pushing me over the edge for some reason. Maybe because we already have Alexis doing the longest onscreen prison stint for something she could have easily pled out and gone to rehab over and Brad who pled guilty to kidnapping a baby and hide a long dead Nelle’s involvement for no reason. While others much bigger crimes are out there, widely known, and nothing happens with it.

I don't care if these stupid charges against Nina stick or not. At least something is happening because Nina has suffered no ill effects for dragging the stupid Nixon Falls storyline another six months. She has all friends supporting her. She still has her fabulous job that she abandoned for six months. She even still gets to visit Wylie if she wants to even though she had only visited him once during those six months in Nixon Fall.

I empathize with being pissed Nina’s not getting much blowback. I felt the same about Liz back then. I don’t think Liz got much worse treatment than Nina did. I think Liz’s behavior was slightly worse because, as someone else pointed out, she slept with Drew - and I think they might have been engaged. Drew yelled at her, rightly so. Of course, Carly did. Sam did as well, but other than that I don’t remember her getting dressed down by anyone else. Not publicly berated like Nina has from Joss and Michael. I don’t think Liz had many friends, but she didn’t have anyone turn on her. I definitely remember Liz whining about being pariah, but it was such self-pitying BS. No one was treating her like a leper. It was probably her guilt talking (and a way to start the Liz/Franco story.)

I'm not excusing Elizabeth.  Way back when I said she should have told him as soon as they got home from the Nurse's Ball (I think telling him AT the Nurse's Ball would have been a bit much).  But, if we're going to compare, Elizabeth didn't "know that Drew was Jason" until after she had fallen in love with him.  Nina knew from the get go and kept it secret out of spite and then fell in love with him.  

[Daisy]

lol Anna is all "Valentine, imagine you torturing Peter." it calms him down. but we know this is crap because Valentine was "I'm going to shoot to kill  him." and then didn't. 

"The Corinthos family won't forget it." But yet you are using Q money to do your revenge. Kick rocks, Michael. I love how they are like "Wiley has the right to know what Gramma Nina did to Grampa Sonny." what? WHY?  its like they are all waiting for this kid to turn 18 and they are going to spill all the tea to this kid about the people they want him to hate.

Ohh, the Hypocrisy, thy name is Carly. 
How is this woman not dead from lightning strikes. "Nina still did crap to you, and me and our family if that's not a crime i don't know what is." that right there is eternally the problem with Carly, her husband, her pet dog and her entitled children. 

this is making me so livid. this is why this show needs Lila Rae or someone to continually bring reality to these hypocritical morons. Nina kept Sonny away for "nine" months. Carly was prepared to keep people away from their loved ones for the entire lives and Sonny has done that. what y'all have experienced is a splash in a bucket compared to all of your victims. 

Honestly, that smug bitch look on Carly's face. That's where i would have leaned over and said "Sonny fell in love with me. That's why i didn't say anything. He told me constantly he didn't care about his family, and didn't want to bother looking for them because he's never been happier so put that in your pipe and smoke it."

and BLQ says that BLQ2 isn't Val's on Gladys's phone. dun dun whatever.

Maxie looked like HELL again. For someone who works in the fashion industry, she dresses worse than me!  And I don't believe she is somehow hobo-chic or something like that. Maybe that is why Gladys wanted to book the next meeting at a bowling alley.

Forget telling Carly about falling in love with Mike, Nina should tell her Mike had no interest if finding out who is family was. That's the bigger bomb to drop, IMO. Mike didn't care! Carly was a nonissue!

[drtslim]

Even though the charges make no sense (#soultheft), I can appreciate seeing some of Michael's Quartermainesque qualities come out in having Nina arrested.

Now, I'm really curious about Nikolas's involvement in the goings on in Greece.  Has he been in cahoots with Victor?  Is Hayden the mystery captive?  And who will be the one to expose him?

I can't say I'm surprised that Gladys found out part of the BaileyLou secret.  But she only knows that Bailey isn't Valentin's.  I of course expect blackmail; but I wouldn't be surprised if she comes into contact with Austin and Austin puts all the pieces together.  Will BLQ attempt to convince Chase to claim paternity?  

[seasons]

Please. Michael is trying to show that he actually has balls? He's still a weenie.

 

But there is this in real life

Ugh. Finola still is so thin. When she leaned over Valentin's bed you could clearly see her ribs. Not good. My mom used to say, as you get older you need a little padding to fight off in case you get sick. Lol I've taken that one to heart! But really, even just 5 or 10 pounds on FH would probably soften her and make her even more gorgeous.

3) Funny how facts about law breaking don't matter when your mother KIDNAPS AN ELDERLY WOMAN and your father IS A MOB BOSS WHO MURDERED YOUR BIO DAD IN COLD BLOOD!

It's days like this I really hate you, Show.

What, exactly, is Nina being charged with? What absurd law did she break? Sonny, if you never do another decent think in your sorry illegal life, tell the truth about Nina.

Michael: Facts are facts, the law was broken.

Given smoke has been blown up his ass his entire life I'm sure it's difficult to grasp that BE NICE TO MY FAMILY is not a law.  

Since the trial will probably be next week already--and what with Nina fighting for her life, since I presume this is a death penalty case (#deathtoliars)--Sonny on the stand spilling how he didn't want to find out who he was and that he fell in love with Nina better be the payoff.

I don't see Sonny ever admitting his part in this fiasco. At best, he will say on the stand that he forgives Nina and say he doesn't want her punished.  He will then expect eternal gratitude and loyalty and most of all, silence from Nina.

Same. Sonny being presented as anything except the poor put-upon victim? No way. Or, he does say he didn't want to look for his family and everyone blames Nina and it's forgotten except for being yet another terrible way she was Mean to the Corinthii. Sonny never has to take responsibility for anything. I don't expect this to be any different, alas for us.
