Cody seduces Ava, Cody dumps Ava, Ava...is sad about this? Revenge!

Kristina is an embarrassment. 

that is a teen plot. 
honestly Kristina and Cody need to like both die already, donate their organs and never come back to the show (not like that means anything  - see Jesse, AMC, but it would make me feel better for a hot moment)

ou know, as much as Willow is being emotionally manipulated by Drew - thank heaven she finally brought up what I was screaming at my television. If someone had said that to Carly, Carly would have burnt the world to the ground before she did a moonwalk over the ashes. What willow should have said also was even if I said yes I'm chosing my children beause I will ALWAYS  choose my children before their father, any anyone else who comes into my life - he wanted to control me and my actions

Yes, but she MISSED the irony that now?  Drew is controlling her and her actions.  She went from one bad situation to another.

If she gets custody, I expect PsychoDrew to try and convince her to have Michael's parental rights terminated so he can adopt the kids.

And so intensely stupid. But Cody is stupider. That dude has no self-respect. He might as well be a high paid escort.

[GHScorpiosRule]

That’s it? That cannot be the goodbye scene between Laura and Lucky. There has got to be more.

I FUCKING HATE FRANK, KORTE, and every single person that had a hand in not only today’s pathetic dialogue, but also yesterday with Elizabeth. What a CRIMINAL  waste of JJ and his talent. You would think Lucky only knew a handful of people. Did he and Maxie even have any scenes together? Mac? Felicia? Tracy? The only good scenes were the flashbacks and Lucky’s reunion with Laura in the chapel.

[Grinaldi]

If they are really doing this Cody seduces Ava thing I need him to fall madly in love with her and the two of them team up to run the town. Otherwise it's just a pathetic story.

Now that JJ has slunk away I remain certain that Josh Kelly should have been a Lucky recast from the jump.

What's his motivation here?  If he were a compulsive gambler, yes, I could see it.  But he has a steady job, with a place to live.  Thrill-seeker?  Life is too boring without the hustle?

All of his dumb get rich quick schemes were so that he could buy Dominique's family estate which is worth millions. He should have stayed a model at Deception because that would have made a bigger dent than anything he has done since coming to Port Charles

 

1 hour ago, Daisy said:

what is the point of having Cody seduce Ava?

To break up Ric and Ava who are blackmailing Alexis. If they turn on each other, Kristina probably thinks that will solve anything. Alexis told her to stay out of it and it looks likes she didn't listen to her mother. 

Since Kristina and Cody have failed in everything they have done, this will fail as well.

As I don't want Molly stuck with Cody, let Kristina and Cody hook up now that Lucky is gone and the show won't be able to hook up Lucky and Kristina.

Can Brook Lynn just leave. It’s not Lulu’s fault that you had a kid & decided to give it up for “adoption”. Now, you’re going to sue her for something?! Really? Ugh! She is soooooo annoying. 

Sue her? By yes sue the screeching harpy that broke into her uncle hotel room, went through his files, open a locked brief case with information that wasn't visible nor out to her came across her rivals information & instead of minding the bizz that pays her? She not only decides to read it, she takes pictures uploaded them to her personal computer had it sitting on their. Used it to confront Brooklyn and give her ultimatum. When that didn't work lied, deceived Blabber mouth Cody to get information out of him, proceed to run around town telling, spilling information she came across illegally to any or everyone who would validate justify her actions. She couldn't till she lied to equally not knowing how to mind his business Cody that Brooklyn knew Gio was her even though she didn't. But when you to be delusional to the point of needing those delusion to justify your actions? To make yourself a victim of your own callouses. Never mind using her 2 weeks journalism career (thanks Maxie)to convince the banner to run the adoption story which was a means to an end to push, reveal the truth about Brooklyn, Gio and Dante. Pushed that bald face lie that the banner wanted to push that story of adoption when it was really her. So fake & cowardly 

No one needed screwlu approval in order to make decisions for what's best for them & their child. Should've Shrewlu gotten the towns approval to abort the married man's baby she got knocked up with, Georgie since she was Dillon wife, Brooklyn since she was Georgie BFF, Maxie since she was Georgie sister, Dillon since he was the father before she aborted his baby?!!

She still going oh I didn't mean it I didn't mean for anyone to get hurt a god damn lie. Ass had a smug ass smile smirking giddy at the thought of ruining Brooklyn in Dantes eyes, giddy at destroying Gio collateral damage, like her clown bff(Spin)was at his bitch(Jason)killing her ex husband (Dante)back when they first started dating for doing his job, revealing the truth cause her right to continue her petty childish one sided fued supercedes Giovanni right to not have his life destroyed, blown up for a 5 head petty cruel insensitivity 

You don't get to wreck havoc on some one's life, play god like it's your right, steal their confidential information and act like their are no consequences besides being jawed in your shit for it! Sue? For everything she got, she going to learn today.

Comatose c*** needs to go back in her coma. 

[RedRockRosie]

I’d love to see Cody tell Ava that idiot Kristina offered to pay him to seduce her & then they team up against Kristina. She, Kristina that is, is such a stupid cow!

Maxie? Nope I don't think they even once mentioned each other name since he's been back. A shame cause their friendship, chemistry were one of the few bright spots of his 1st return. I wasn't expecting it cause JJ/KS never worked together but you could never tell they clicked instantly. Despite the ugly history between the characters SOS I always loved their friendship and how Lucky looked after Maxie(See Georgie death's, Breakdown in Kelly's 😭💔)Jake's death(😭💔)Felicia Nope. Tracy I'm not sure I think not maybe 1. Mac I'm not sure maybe once. Mostly Fauxstina, then Liz, Laura & couple Ric. It's pathetic.

[GHScorpiosRule]

So. Was taking money from Cujo, to try and seduce Dante, and when that didn’t work, to drug and try to rape him, Brook Lynn’s definition of trying to “be good and live up to” her Ma and Grandmaaa’s expectations? 
 

Edward was willing to give her money-but only if she completed school or something. And that she would not do.

Ace, Leo, Charlotte, Danny, Aiden, Kevin, Scott, Terry, Spinelli, Bailey Lou....remember Bailey Lou?  She was delivered by Austin Gatlin-Holt, whose murder was never solved.  They vaguely remembered him when they were looking for Cyrus---who they only assume was killed, because they never bothered to look for his body.  This show.

So Brooklyn seriously is going to blame her mother for her not telling Dante the truth now?  Nothing's Brooklyn choice even after Chase and Lulu asked her to tell him the truth, Brooklyn refused. Not telling Dante for decades is all Lois fault. Not telling Ned, Tracy, or even Chase her husband until recently is Lois too? 

Then she blames Lulu for the rest. So instead of trying to be a parent or a relationship with her son, going for revenge is her goal.  Gio will surely want something to do with her then. Go be true to yourself then Brooklyn. 

Why didn't Diane cross to ask Willow what happened to make Michael not want joint custody today? Why didn't Michael get to go on stand?

Ric doesn't look like he wants Willow to win. 

[sashabear21]

This paying Cody to seduce Ava scheme is so stupid it's practically a plot straight out of a YA book. If this doesn't work, will Kristina set her up with a fake secret admirer next? I mean it's hardly surprising that Sonny's child is scheming using plots straight out of a Sweet Valley High book, but it is surprising that Alexis's child is doing so.

Sort of, no, yes, and no. 

Lucky got up and spoke at Sam's funeral; Maxie was sitting in one of the pews after she planned or at least helped the Davis coven plan the funeral.

Lucky has not been in any scenes with Mac.

Lucky and Elizabeth questioned Felicia about Cyrus regarding the night Dex was stabbed.

Tracy and Lucky never so much as acknowledged each other's existence during JJ's nine months on the Show. Unless Tracy and Laura spoke of Lucky and I missed it. Tracy has only ever cared about Lulu to the best of my memory.

 I hate what they're doing to Cody.  The actor is hot and has some charisma.  I like him with Molly and was looking forward to that.  It's so annoyng.

Why didn't Diane cross and ask why Willow would sign a legal document giving Drew full custody of the children should something happen to her.  

If Willow was going to use the "Michael is having burn treatment" as a defence for abandonment and single parenting, why didn't Diane cross that "Willow  almost died from cancer" as a defence for abandonment and single parenting on Michael's part.  

Why didn't Diane push harder on the "the kids have asked when they can move back home" angle.  

I hate both Michael and Willow so it's annoying that the show is making me take Michael's side here.

I am laughing so hard at that promo from last week? a couple weeks ago that stated with ominous music, how this Fakakta custody "trial" was "The TRIAL of the SUMMER" and it's already over and summer hasn't even officially started yet!

No cross or clarification about the SLS refusing to see Willow in Germany. And as @Perkie stated, the other stuff. It's all so galactically stoopid.

I know I already posted my thoughts about Lucky's "goodbyes" and it's infuriating, because I remember how emotional his last one was, and even when he came back to return Jake and when Luke was leaving. And I also remember when Robin left for the Sorbonne after she and Jason broke up that first time. After he found out she had asked Mooby to fire him because he got shot. Man. Now THAT'S emotion. THAT'S how you say goodbye. All that FUGLY crying-from JASON, of all people. Then again, he wasn't fully mobbed up HITMAN yet. But Still.

I really wish Awesome Writer, if they're still there, or hell, even JJ, had managed to rewrite these scenes.

And I totally believe what @jsbt had to say about that "clarification" from JJ as to why he's leaving.

All that, and Michael at the end questioning "why did no one at the hospital tell me Willow was there?" makes me think Willow does get "full and legal custody" and Michael has to 'unearth' the truth.

But, yeah, Killer Miller really dropped the ball on pertinent questions in order to establish nursery sex.

This is my thinking as well, after seeing the previews with him telling Cujo that he's going to take Wiley and Amelia out of the country, like ASAP.

Unless it's the promo monkeys messing around again.

Willow was at GH when she had cancer. Michael was on another continent. For some reason, treatment location matters in this inane case.

Lucky's goodbye tour is as unsatisfying as his stint on the show, so...kudos for the continuity?

It's not like Michael wouldn't have done the same. These two dolts are the worst, and then Drew comes along and makes sure Wiley overhears that he's not wanted. I'd be really angry at the cruelty of that, but I hate Wiley enough not to care if he's scarred of life. 

I can't be arsed to care about anything in this trial anymore. The sloppiness is bad even from a GH standpoint, and the entire premise is beyond stupid.

All of this is true.

It's also eye-rolling that they think just because THEY won't agree to joint custody that the judge won't rule to that.  I mean, we know she won't, as this storyline isn't based in reality.

[Sake614]

Whelp! Just another case of champagne taste on a tap water budget ..I covet the blouse Ava wore yesterday so I checked worn on TV. $395 😫😫😫😫 guess who won’t be buying that fab blouse anytime soon?

back on topic, I too was confused about why there was no cross re Willow going to see Michael or what might have caused him to change his mind about shared custody. Everyone is acting like who cheated first is the be all end all to determine who gets custody. They’re both shit for cheating but neither has been shown to be a bad parent. Even with the nursery sex, unless one of the kids walked in on them and was invited to join, so what?

Kai, why do you care what Curtis, Portia and Trina think of Drew? It’s not gojg to change your mind. He’s been good to you and you like him. That’s it. End of story. No one is demanding you hate him because they do. You’re allowed to like who you like.

the less said about Kristina and her stupid idea the better. The sheer nerve of her harping on Ava being at the pool like it’s a crime. If Carly doesn’t want her there. She can ban her from the pool. Otherwise STFU. But yes of course, she’s not acting impulsively anymore and has made peace with the situation. Right. And I’ve got a bridge to sell you…🙄

trying to make stupid make sense, I wonder if what the show is trying to do is show that Willow tried to keep Michael/his care local so the children could see him and Carly/Michael chose to go to some fantasy, who needs to show burn scars clinic that was highly experimental and could cost him his life.  (or something).

also. Michael did throw Willow's cancer in her face as a decision of why she was a bad mom because she lied about it and didn't confide in him until it was too late "and she had her excuses." 
(I remember that because i rage posted that the reason why she did was because she was pregnant, didn't want anything to happen to the baby and to give MICHAEL a happy birthing experience because Nelle robbed him of one with Wiley - and she told him ALL of that, and he was all super duper grateful at the time. the big dummy)

[Sake614]

I still think keeping her cancer diagnosis from her husband was stupid. What if she’d died? Would it have been better that he find out after she was dead? And her excuse for not starting treatment for STAGE 4 cancer was that she was pregnant and didn’t want her treatment to affect the baby. But again, if she’s DEAD wouldn’t that affect the baby more? Not to mention the husband she claimed to be doing it for? I just don’t see her excuse as altruistic in any way. I mean, of course the baby was born healthy because it’s Michael’s. But it was incredibly selfish.

[DanaK]

I'm still perplexed as to why Drew went all control-y on Willow. It's one thing to scheme against the Quartermaines but his attempts to control Willow and have her all to himself seems out of character. I just wish the writers would truly have Willow realize that her cult background causes her to get with bad men and get some therapy for it. It keeps getting hinted at but they don't really address it head on

Edited June 11 by DanaK

Michael is so controlling, i wouldn't have told him about the cancer either. It was the only way that Willow could make the decisions herself.

I'm sure you're happy @GHScorpiosRule that Lucky and Laura had a complete good-bye scene. I thought I saw real regret and sadness in JJ/Lucky's eyes over his final scene with GF. It seemed like the tears were as much GF's as they were Laura's and that JJ was trying to hold back tears as they embraced.

Isaiah was much nicer to Portia than she deserved. What a bitch.

Lucky and Aiden at the airport together with the Luke/Amsterdam mention and then Lucky and Elizabeth's final kiss - like Lucky was struggling to let go/say good-bye -tugged at my heart strings. 

I laughed at Jason in tears at the likelihood of adult Michael going on the run indefinitely with his kids, and then at Carly screeching and crying at Jason and Sonny to talk him out of it. I really thought she was going to howl, "don't you dare let my baby go!! I can't live without unlimited access to my son and my grandchildren!!"

CW did a good job of looking like Nina wanted to tie down and throat punch Drew a million times over what he did to Wiley.

Hey, did Lucky give Kristina two weeks notice? I'll laugh if it turns out he quit by text.

Someone needed to point out that Michael was only leaving if he lost custody, and if that happened then Drew was going to take Wiley and Amelia to D.C. and they'd be far away from her anyway.

Lucas was also somewhat witness to it, in that he knows Wiley was upset and it wasn't about something Michael said.  

[statsgirl]

Isaiah to Portia: "You are an excellent physician and a fantastic administrator."  Oh Isaiah, you had such promise.

Curtis willing to break the law for Portia when he was unwilling to give Jordan any grace for keeping her job secret. Curtis, you suck.

Michael about not opposing Sasha raising Daisy alone: "What choice do I have?"  Me: how about taking her to court like you took Nelle and Willow? I don't doubt that you will if she ever goes against what you want.

Michael: "There is no life for me without my kids."   [Unspoken: but I will to keep them from their mother.]

Willow is hopeless. Let's say that Wylie misheard what Drew said ... if you're such a great mom, you should be talking to him to find out how he feels and reassure him instead of going straight to "Michael lies".  Listen to your mother, 

Michael is ridiculous for taking the children on the run. Drew is not a good person but he's not a serial killer. Get some real evidence on him and take it to court. I can't believe that you are making me root for Willow.

If anything, Lucky and Liz's good-byes made how they have handled the story even worse. People have made long distance relationships work.

[JMO]

I'm with you, @GHScorpiosRule.  Lucky was treated abominably by the current team, to the point where I fear this is truly a final goodbye, because why would JJ want to come back for another round of this?  

Lucky returned to PC essentially not having matured past his youth, while we've seen Elizabeth mature on screen.  It would have taken some work to get them to the same place, but good writers could and would have done it.  We would have known they were trying, because there would have been any number of scenes of them together, building this new, mature version of their love.  Instead we got a little detective work and an immobilizing injury.  Then they throw in a kiss, finally, at the last possible minute, just to show us what we were never going to get.   

Isaiah and Kai playing the busybody roles today.

Everyone involved in the custody case, and every aspect of that story, is awful.  I am particularly disgusted with the treatment of children as property.  Michael threatens to follow in Valentin's footsteps by absconding with his kids as Val did with Charlotte, giving no thought at all to the other relationships in the kids' lives.

I have loved every wee bit of JJ that I was allowed and will miss him . He is an excellent actor with the ability to convey so much with subtle facial expressions and body movement. I hope that he can come back in the very near future. 
Frank obviously has no idea if true talent. 

[mostlylurking]

Ok I am fully here for this new Michael.  He has so much more charisma than Chad.

I didn’t agree when Brooklyn said Gio was more upset about B not wanting him than about the lie.  I truly believe if he had been told he was adopted from day one it would have just been a normal thing for him and he would have understood it’s not about not wanting the child, but wanting to give them a better life.  Now Brooklyn wasn’t some destitute teenager, she definitely had more than enough means and help to keep the child but she made the decision not to and that was her decision to make and live with.  She trusted her mother and grandmother and they utterly betrayed her and her child.  It’s horrible.

I know I'm in the minority as to JJ and Lucky here, but at least elsewhere on social media, everyone thinks as I do: Frank is a DUMBASSPIECE of 💩💩💩💩💩along with the "writers" and wasted the talent that is JJ.

I hate that JJ's latest run is over and I agree that there were numerous missed opportunities because a lot of time got wasted on too many poker scenes with Sidwell and being a supporting player in the Kristina has lost her mind saga.

However, I'm grateful he came back for 9 months because everything having to do with his Spencer family in Port Charles was unresolved when Lucky left in December 2011 and when Lucky came back for just days to return Jake/have final scenes with Luke.  The Lucky character had very minimal interaction with Laura when GV was in the role and then Lucky got to say just a few words and hug her when JJ came back for TG's retirement storyline. I felt like Laura and Lucky finally got to have a brief but meaningful mother-son relationship as well as closure regarding Luke, for the first time since JJ and GF's last scene prior to the fire that "killed" young Lucky. 

Elizabeth and Lucky got to express their love and bittersweetly say good bye because Elizabeth felt it was the right thing to do. As opposed to when JJ's Lucky returned while Elizabeth was in the middle of an awful storyline and then fled without a glance back at his kids because he couldn't deal with the pain of being around Elizabeth and also Luke's role in Jake's "death."

Lucky had a decent-ish good-bye scene with Lulu too and is spending the summer traveling with Aiden. Father and son both looked excited.  It seems like the best scenario at this moment considering that the Show and JJ parted ways abruptly well before JJ had intended. It's very disappointing that Lucky never got to have family scenes with Lulu and her kids, re-establish his old friendship with Dante, re-connect with Mac, hold/interact with nephew Ace and his stepfather Kevin, etc. but ... it is what it is.

The lighting was really bad today—everyone looked terrible in the Michael/Carly/Jason/Sonny scenes.

I had to laugh that Carly's main concern about Michael going on the lam with the kids is how it affects her. Never change, Carly!

I loved Nina's dress. CW's expression when Drew mentioned moving to D.C. was hilarious.

"Portia and I share a child together." News flash, Curtis: Trina is an adult (supposedly™ Silas Clay forever). She won't like Portia possibly being in jail, but it's not as if she needs Portia to take her to school every day.

I would laugh so hard if full custody went to, like, Sasha. She has one of Michael's spawn; what's two more? It keeps the siblings together.

Michael is ridiculous for taking the children on the run. Drew is not a good person but he's not a serial killer. Get some real evidence on him and take it to court. I can't believe that you are making me root for Willow.

 

and yet willow was horrible for taking Wiley to DC for one night and she planned to bring him back home. I tell you. this show legit is just dumb.
