As much as I am fond of FH, you're right. I don't see any way her character can be resolved and Anna is rapidly moving past her expiration date.

The only way to redeem Anna at this point, I think, is that Alex didn't die when she went in the water all those years ago. Anna was switched not too long after and Anna is in some cell sonewhere, dun dun dun. Alex had her brain remapped with Anna's memories, but the thing is that Alex is NOT Anna so in her DNA, she'll have a relationship with a man like Valentine, while Anna wouldn't. She doesn't truly know the inner workings of the PCPD and how a commissioner works, so we're getting, uhm, this. She would have the feels for a mob lackey like Jason. 

And Emma spent a lot more time with Anna when she was younger. She knew Anna. But, now, so much time has passed. Now, she's in her rebellious phase. Anna seeming different doesn't mean she's not grandma, but rather that OH MY GOD! SHE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND ME!! UGH!!

As for her blood condition... well, there's a big bad working at the hospital who covers that up, but that's a whole other head canon story, lol.

Anyway, that's my personal Anna head canon to make sense of what we're seeing on screen, cuz, otherwise... yeah, I dunno, I just can't.

I get that Lois is invested in Gio's wellbeing and happiness, but why is Sonny?  He's handing Gio his "school trip" money like he's psychically aware on some level that the kid is his relative.  (Yes, I know Sonny finds it easy to throw around mob money.  Maybe Emma should hit him up for SAC money.)

I will accept someone messing with Anna's treatment to explain her unexplainable behavior. The show loves doing this, and at least has a chronic disorder already and it wouldn't be a retcon.

They could also have her be soul-sick and decide to quit law enforcement altogether—with all that's happened, that's not so farfetched—but then there's the problem of what she'd do instead. The writing has been awful for Anna for so long.

Uncle Sonny is a family friend. I don't think it goes deeper than that right now.

It's very much like the cousin Brando vibe, though.

It's how people in the old neighborhood are forced to think of Sonny as a guy with a heart of gold and not just a common mob thug.

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.

Someone should drop Brennan is a vat of acid.

I swear, this Carlys worship is abominable. Joss will be great in any situation. She's so awesome. Serve, Joss. Protect, Joss. STFU, dude. Looking forward to you getting the Carly treatment when she finally finds out what you're up to with her kid and she goes into full barracuda mode.

I'm assuming that Drew will validate Jason's alibi, especially with Willow standing there. We know how much he wants to be her hero so that she can continue worshipping him and degrading herself.

[TVbitch]

I guess we're supposed to think that a DA who rightly calls Anna out and wants to treat criminals like criminals is a villain. Nope.

I had to smile when Brad saved himself by selling Portia out. I'm sure it will come back to bite him, though.

It's like they're turning Kai into Spencer 2.0, what with him gazing at Trina like she's the Dalai Lama who is opening new worlds to him. The whole "the way you speak about art makes me love art and realize you are the most fascinating woman in the world" crap is so unbelievable and boring. 

[statsgirl]

I expected Drew to deny Jason's alibi but maybe having Willow there is force him to pretend to be noble and get Jason off the hook.

Nice of Alexis being willing to take on the tour of telling everyone about Sam's death. Thinking of them more than they thought of her

Brennan framing Jason will make Joss fold. 

Nope. She's protecting herself. As soon as Brennan said Jason would never be convicted, she folded. Like no one has ever been convicted of murder if a body wasn't found.

KSt has lost a lot of weight in the past few months so now she is allowed to look attractive. Genie is now the only one being punished for not being a size 2. It's a sexist show.

So very much looking forward to that. This Brennan is almost as bad as Cyrus for sleaze.

I still have no idea why the WSB would want to recruit Joss. Surely they can do much better. Even Dex was better.
