LOL that Jason has been to Easter Island. 

After Jason ran away from Port Charles after Sonny and Carly first got together, he would visit Port Charles for a couple of week before leaving again. During this time, he said that he travelled the world. He told toddler Michael (who only got bedtime stories read to him by Jason from a book about Africa) and Carly that he  went to differenct places around the world. How he sneaked in the middle of the night to climb the pyramids in Egypt. Jason for those three years was having his specially designed travel adventures by that Gnome from Travelocity.

"Mother of my child and the LOVE OF MY LIFE!!!!!"

Why is dialogue wasted on Kristina who by the way had to attempt to kill someone before finally apologizing to Molly for her nonsense over Irene.

[TVbitch]

I'm thinking Ava secured Ric's car and told the impound guy to lie to everyone else that it had been crushed.

I wonder if Jason wore shorts during his "favorite hike" on Easter Island. ..Just trying to picture it. 🩳🤔

Fuck you, writers. Even if Jake "died" when he was a toddler,  and never got around to adopting Cameron, the dialogue should have been "The Mother of my children..."

And the only reason she's apologizing is because Lucky knows what she did, and she thinks she's safe from anyone else finding out, so apologizing not because she had an epiphany of how awful she's been.

My eyes rolled so hard at her telling Lucky "she didn't mean it" when she's been dreaming and talking about killing Ava, asking Mooby and Jaysus to do it, and then the self-serving she knows what it's like to lose a child and she would never, NEVER do that to anyone, not even AVA! When she's been bloviating that Ava also deserves to lose a child like Ava "stole" her child from her.

Especially since that apology has more to do with inadvertently hurting Molly's father than the actual attempted murder. Kristina can launch herself into the sun.

[Bringonthedrama]

Ava and Kristina deserve each other. I felt really sorry for Elizabeth, Ric and Alexis in this episode.

Lucky, admit now to Elizabeth you've lied by omission to her.  And stop trying to be a clergy person to Kristina. Your past has zero to do with her actions. It's gross that Lucky is talking/behaving this way.

Is the Show seriously leaning toward a Lucky/Elizabeth/Ric triangle?!

Lois looks really lovely for the first time in ages. But Olivia, the Q mansion is not Lois's home.

I guess the countdown has started for Dante finding out about his retconned son.

Nice of Ava to decide to go to Alexis and try to blackmail her about Kristina, behind the actual victim's back for her own "needs" and blowing off what he said (plus pissed off/jealous that he's upset Elizabeth got hurt).

Everyone needs to get that memo.

Oh, Alexis. You sweet summer child. Your daughters have made a temporary peace because Kristina is feeling guilty about accidentally almost taking out Molly's father.

It's always been there simmering when Lucky and Ric are both around. ETA: It's been there on Ric's part. Elizabeth for some reason has a soft spot for him but seems clear-eyed enough that them getting back together is a bad idea.

Boos today to Lois, Olivia, Lulu and Kristina. Ava would get one too but blackmail is part of her DNA.

Lois, if Brook Lynn wanted space from you, you should respect that and not turn up at her home much less sideswipe her. You lied to her and she doesn't want you around right now. Take your punishment and back off.

Olivia, it's not your house and you don't get to decide who stays there. it is Brook Lynn's family home which makes it worse that you want Lois to stay even though you can see that Brook Lynn, whose lives there permanently, doesn't want her there. And no, you don't have any tact at all and it's not just because you live with 3 Quartermaines. (Monica is a Quartermaine by marriage and doesn't count.)

Lulu, stop pushing at Dante about Brook Lynn. The guy is clueless about what you're talking about. And he thinks that you're the love of his life, which at this point i don't understand at all because you don't match up to Sam in any way right now.

All three of them are putting their personal wishes above the wishes of the person that they say they love. Selfish.

Kristina needs therapy. She also needs to be help to account for her actions and I'm sorry that while Lucky is saying the words, he's not doing the deed.

While Ric would certainly like it, I don't get that feeling at all from Elizabeth. Ric is a friend now, a relationship from the past.

So? Alexis isn't the one who did it. Ava is so determined to get money that she's ignoring Ric's very valid point that Kristina's unhinged behavior makes her dangerous. What if Kristina does something reckless again and other innocent people get hurt/killed?  Ava does not care; she wants what she wants.

She says she cares about Ric but clearly not. She's making his near death all about herself being the intended victim and having financial needs. And she has less than zero concern that a nurse and mother was also injured, because she resents that Nikolas and Ric have had feelings for Elizabeth.

[dubbel zout]

When I was in the hospital during high school for foot surgery, my friends brought me pizza, Rolos, molasses cookies, and more. There was nothing contraband about any of it.

Someone needs to tell Lulu that people are allowed privacy.

i beg to differ. Alexis commited an offence that got her law license revoked on her own. All Ava did was report it. In my opinion, that’ s not ‘wronging’ Alexis.

[KittyQ]

Why is Lucky covering for Kristina? All his "reasons" are stupid, in my opinion. Kristina has crossed the line when she attempted to kill someone. I know that her dad and his friends have barely ever paid for any of the things they've done, but that doesn't mean that PC should be a haven for criminals based on what "good people" they are. 

Sure, Lucky, I'm positive Kristina is going to "get help" for this. She should be getting help for it in jail.

[KittyQ]

The arguments that Kristina is giving about her parents are total baloney. I don't know why this particular case is bugging me so much, except that this appeal is so disingenuous, considering that her dad is a mob boss. SO WHAT if he has a heart condition? What about his victims? Did they have heart problems? Did they have parent or kids who would suffer because of their loss? So suck it up, Kristina and pay the price you owe society and your victims.

Well, I agree.  But Ava only reported her to stick it to Alexis, not out of any desire to do the right thing. 

[TVbitch]

Noooo, the merciful break from Lois' unbearable boo boo liar eyes is over. 

So Ava will use Kristina's crime for financial gain, not custody of Avery. Priorities, I guess. Meanwhile both men who claim to love Liz are just fine keeping the truth from her. 

Really pissed the we are getting Lucky as a sap and loser covering up for Kristina, which is even worse than Lucky the unbeatable poker player. For the love of god, give JJ a decent story.

Is it at all possible there is a twist to Lucky helping kristina 

[Mirabelle]

At this point, the only twist that would actually surprise people would be Lucky getting Kristina help instead of making excuses or covering for her.

This is one of the reasons Lucky should have gone straight back to the PCPD upon his return. As a Detective he would have been obligated to arrest Kristina, creating conflict among him, Sonny, Alexis and, by extension, Laura. Also given what's happened, how the hell can he run Charlie's with Kristina now?

[Sake614]

i know this has been asked before but I’ll ask again: how can Ric’s car be crushed without even the insurance company coming out to inspect it? lucky said the police consider it an accident so no investigation. Okay that’s fine. But no way the insurance company doesn’t look at the car before deciding whether to pay the claim. 

so every member of the Sidwell clan has a different last name? And just like Diane, Alexis doesn’t ask about Marco’s past clients. Okay then, I’m sure he’ll fit right in to the firm. 

Lucky, have you met Kristina? She is NOT going to therapy. The minute you suggested it, her eyes started darting from side to side trying to think of how to get out of it. 

I don’t have a problem with Ava blackmailing Alexis. I’d rather she go to the police or blackmail Alexis into getting help for Kristina, but whatever it takes to make sure Alexis knows her daughter is on the train to crazy town is fine with me.

Right? If that was business as usual, wouldn't that lead to a lot of insurance fraud? "Oh, Mr. Insurance Man, my car was totaled, so I'm filing a claim. You want to inspect it? So sorry, the tow company decided to crush it because it was taking up too much room and it wasn't worth anything anyway. So when can I get the check?"

That's what I thought too. But then it was dropped and so I thought maybe I'm wrong and Joss fooled him after all.

So many times, at least on TV and movies, the perpetrator appeals to someone's concern for a family or other non-involved party. They suggest that reporting them to the police would do great harm to these other people and it would be all their fault, not the fault of the person who committed the crime somehow.

That's SOP for this show. Nina was the villain for reporting the insider trading, Robin was at fault for telling about Michael's paternity.

It's on a level with "Michael will lose his children if Willow finds out that Sasha is having his baby."  Stupid for plot.

They destroyed the evidence. Unless there are cameras in the parking garage that caught Kristina messing with Ric's car, it will be hard to prove that she did anything wrong. 

Unless Lucky decides that he's going to tell the truth. Which he probably won't because these characters are disappointing to the max.

I just wanted to bang my head against any hard surface when I heard the tow truck dude tell Lucky the car had been destroyed. Like, what? When his ass discovered the brake lines had been cut, his first call should have been to the cops, as incompetent as they are! And he should have delayed the crushing of it, while the insurance company adjusters also took a look at it.

Accident or no, cops DO investigate normal accidents, otherwise there wouldn't be any traffic on highways and rubber necking. Hell, they had the cops come out when The Deranged One skidded off the road or hit someone, whatever, when Noted Bigot Natalia found her.

But it's always Plot!City! with Frank and his hacks.

There are. That's what Ava found and showed Ric-The Deranged One cutting the brake lines of Ric's car. It's why he wanted to call the cops, but it's her bright idea to blackmail Alexis to get money from the Cassadine Estate instead. Because her petulant ass is jealous that Ric still cares about Elizabeth.

The Deranged One needs to be in Jail/Prison, whatever. Not therapy. Because what she did was commit a CRIME. And that no one, NOT a SINGLE person who supposedly knows her, can tell she's acting all guilty, not meeting their eyes, etc. etc. Just shows how stupid they are.

It actually hasn't happened yet; she told Ric her "idea" and he didn't agree to it so she left. In the end of the episode, Ava showed up at Alexis and Diane's office. The preview has Ava telling Alexis she has proof against Kristina.

These characters never do anything that a normal, law-abiding person would do. Have evidence of a crime - what to do? Turn it over to the police? No, that would be the honest thing to do, and what would I get out of it other than knowing I've done my civic duty. Use it to blackmail a third party? Ding, ding! Of course!  That's what video evidence is for!

[tessaray]

I was thinking that maybe Ava had the actual car stashed and the auto guy lied to Lucky. But video evidence is a lot less bulky. 🙂

[ciarra]

Ava can easily hide or delete the video, once she gets what she wants. 

I wonder if Alexis will be part of the coverup, seeing as though Ric and Elizabeth were the ones who saw her toss a gun off the bridge and went to the cops.

eta.  If Ava has the car, where is the chain of evidence?  I could go to the wrecking yard and cut every brake line, it still doesn't mean I caused the cars to crash.

Totally agree. Lucky has no reason to help Kristina cover up attempted murder (she's not his family; the only family they have in common is Nikolas and "Ace"), especially when Elizabeth was one of the victims. The only reason(s) that could possibly make sense in his world for doing this is that now that he knows Elizabeth will recover, he doesn't want to be the narc on Kristina since Alexis lost her eldest daughter after her daughter saved his sister's life and he doesn't want to be on Sonny's bad side due to his dad and Sonny's long-time friendship and Sonny still supposedly caring for him and his mother. That's why he's pushing Kristina to confess. 

It's sad for me to say that Lucky and Elizabeth don't belong together if this is the direction that the Show is going - the addict in Lucky is still borderline comfortable with covering up destructive behavior and doesn't have the inner strength to do emotionally difficult things like call the police on his employer or be a real and consistent parent to his teenage son. I want to see a version of Lucky who has matured and will properly love Elizabeth and their son(s).

Ava is the idiot for sleeping with Ric right after he told her he wants Elizabeth, but she doesn't want him. And then got jealous that sleeping with her again didn't somehow magically erase his feelings for Elizabeth.

Add Dante to the list of people I feel sorry for. His sister and his stepsister/friend/former fling are both lying to his face (about different topics, but still).

Ava, dear, threatening to go straight to Molly is essentially going to the police anyway since she is the ADA. Molly was escorted down to the jail by police officer Dex to talk to you when you were in a jail cell accused of killing her baby girl, less than a year ago.

Is Cody jealous of Lulu being in love with Dante? 

When nuLucas was talking with Marco, I felt like his intro should be: "Your mom is sort of dating my ex-brother-in-law, your sister used to be in a relationship with my ex-stepsister, who actually was also my now late sister's half-sister, and your dad held my cousin and my new colleague Dr. Gannon as prisoners in Africa. Welcome to Port Charles!!"

Edited Wednesday at 07:21 PM by Bringonthedrama

[dubbel zout]

Marco has to be mid-30s, at least and Noted Bigot Natalia is still harping on him becoming a lawyer instead of a musician? No wonder he's cut contact, even aside from the Noted Bigotry.

"You sure you want to dive into this dating pool?

Whenever Kristina starts listing all the reasons she can't take responsibility for cutting the brakes, I think, "Boo frickin' hoo." No one told her to go to Ava's hotel room, which started this whole thing (except for Sam's death). 

I know Ava's advantage is likely to be short-lived, but I enjoyed her blackmailing Alexis.

It's about telling her that her sister tried to kill her father, not Molly being an ADA..

I wonder if Dante will think that because Sonny shot him in the chest, Dante might have a similar heart issue sometime in the future.

I hope Cody was able to persuade Lulu that she needs to put other people's needs first for a while. I doubt it, but the scenes were decent.

[statsgirl]

So Ava has Ric`s car hidden somewhere? As Alexis said, she's broken the chain of custody. And the guy at the yard didn't notice the car being towed away? How stupid do they think viewers are?

Curtis had a good point -- Laura should put the location of the esplanade up for a vote except that it should be to council and not a plebiscite. Why wasn't it a council vote in the first place?

Natalia thinking that being a lawyer is a downgrade from being a musician says a lot about her.

I suppose now we are going to be stuck with Lucas and Marco doing a Nurses Ball musical number together.

I can see Lucky and Liz being OTP. But if if I'm supposed to think that Lulu and Dante also are, why are they writing Lulu as being so awful and self-centered?

[KittyQ]

Maybe they paid him off to say that the car was demolished. They may not even need to have the car towed - just moved around the lot, because so far no one has gone beyond that front desk looking for the car. 

The show is ignoring many of the RL issues surrounding car accidents, including insurance claims and police reports. 

[JMO]

Oh, what a tangled web....

So much deception today---withheld secrets, half-truths, hidden agendas.  I'm not a big fan of deception becoming the foundation of so much of the on-screen drama.  If I'm going to root for some of these relationships---whether romantic, or family, or work---I need there to be some honesty within them. 

On the plus side, I like that they're mixing things up a little.  Sidwell now has a connection to Alexis and Diane through his son, and Laura has a new antagonist (Boyle) acquired through a legitimate aspect of her work.  That's a start, and I'm hoping the various interactions will help us move away from the wash, rinse, repeat cycle we've been in lately, with the same stories being told over and over.  

 

[Sake614]

Laura has a point about her longstanding friendship with Sonny being public knowledge but there’s nothing stopping her from realizing it’s a bad look and cutting ties, at least publicly. And I thought they said that Sonny’s piers weren’t centrally located so not an ideal place for the esplanade? Isn’t the whole point of an esplanade to be easily accessible? 

love how noted bigot Natalia tried oh so hard to convince her son she’s changed, while she’s still harping on him about not pursuing a career in music, as if that career path is a sure thing. Poor woman must feel like such a failure to have produced not one but TWO gay children lol!

Is it wrong that I really want Ava to go straight to Molly with that information? Kristina deserves to have her life epically destroyed and to be either thrown in jail or at least locked in a padded room. Of course Sonny will just put her on a plane to his private island before she can be arrested, but I’ll even accept that if it keeps her out of pc.

[Artsda]

Who asked for bigot Natalia to get another child and ex-husband?  The cast needs to be cut. 

Alexis is not a good Cassadine.  Natasha needs to be more Cassadine and not just cave to Ava.  Let her go to Molly. Go to Molly first. 

Lois isn't home, that's not her house, she's not a Quartermaine. She left town and Ned taking her baby away from them because they're so bad, while she worshipped at Sonny's feet and lied to all of them. 

Lois still lying through her teeth to Brooklyn's face. With Gio under the Quartermaines roof. She needs to never be forgiven.

They're really pushing this Laura and Sonny as dear old friends narrative lately. I wonder when the writer who wrote Valentin and Brennan calling themselves "old friend" every 5 seconds will start in with that here.  And yes Laura, being besties with the local mob boss is not a good look and neither is the, "whateva, whateva, I do want I want!" attitude about it.  

So nothing about Elizabeth or Ric today other than the brief update from Laura? Why bother having them in a life-threatening accident if there's no drama to it? I mean Kristina's not even calling her dad to try and cover her ass for what she did. It's all going to get handwaved away like Jagger's murder isn't it? 

I thought noted bigot Natalia's backstory on her son was he some kind of singer and pulled away from her because she was too involved in his career. So is he a singing lawyer? Or are there more kids and NBN and Sidwell's family are all going to come on eat the show like the Rappaports on OLTL? 

I don't care what Emma did, obviously she wouldn't be walking around if she killed anyone or blew up a building so it's probably going to end up being super boring and along the lines of, "everyone does dumb shit in college so just do it then and don't wait around until you're Kristina's age".  

A singing lawyer?  Why not?  Frisco was a singing cop.

Well to be fair Frisco was singing years before he became a cop.

Natalia thinking that being a lawyer is a downgrade from being a musician says a lot about her.

 

I will give her a point or two for saying that she didn't want him to become one of his father's shady minions and she should have fought harder against that. But the fact that years later she's still harping about his choice to not become a musician cancels them out.

So Ava doesn't have the money shot of Kristina actually cutting the brakes?  😡

Lois.  Still a putz. 

ShrewLu.  Run, Dante, run.  You deserve better.

 And I thought they said that Sonny’s piers weren’t centrally located so not an ideal place for the esplanade? Isn’t the whole point of an esplanade to be easily accessible?

I finally had to look up what an esplanade actually is:

Quote

An esplanade or promenade is a long, open, level area, usually next to a river or large body of water, where people may walk. The historical definition of esplanade was a large, open, level area outside fortress or city walls to provide clear fields of fire for the fortress's guns. In modern usage, the space allows the area to be paved as a pedestrian walk; esplanades are often on sea fronts and allow walking whatever the state of the tide, without having to walk on the beach.

For example, the boardwalk in Atlantic City.

This is as stupid as the Quartermaine crypt. Sonny can move his warehouses somewhere else along the pier, having to move is a deal breaker. But taking down all those warehouses is going to be expensive. There are silos on the waterfront in my city and it would be so expensive to take them down, people are trying to repurpose them instead.

The decision should be based on 1. how easy it will be to use for the people of Port Charles and 2. how expensive each location will be.

Laura's friendship with Sonny is irrelevant.
