I hate the previews for tomorrow. What does Liz think is going to happen going to Sam's home and saying that Franco is in trouble? Sam doesn't care.

Elizabeth should not be in Franco's orbit, ever.

Ugh, this is gonna be horrible.  "My super sweetie boyfriend is in trouble because of your drunk mom!".  Shut up, Liz.

No one to marry them.. ok.. I thought that was why Griffin was there. Spinelli did a fine job though, I really prefer this actor over BA. 

I didn't notice the resident photographer Dylan at the wedding. Even for a small gathering I would expect Maxie to want someone taking shots of her big day. Nathan really dropped the ball. The wedding cape really fit in with the white showgirl theme but that dress was a bit of a boring letdown. Maxie has lost her status as fashionista.

Also, I know she is gone for good but I really wanted Brit to show up for Nathan.  I prefer her over Nina.

Mac was also an option to marry them, which Robin should know given Mac married her and Patrick last year.

Good point about Dillon, he should have been there as her co-worker, friend, former brother-in-law, etc.  And it would have been sweet if he had gotten to meet Georgie's namesake.

And yes, you are me, I much preferred Britt as Nathan's sister vs. Nina.  Too bad Dr. O couldn't slip in a mention.

[Perkie]

Is it just me or is something really wrong with KSt?  I get that she's been sick and all that, but for someone who was getting married, Maxie just didn't seem that into it and never fully smiled at any time.  There was no excitement from her, not even when Georgie showed up.  It was all subdued reaction throughout.  I'm worried about her.  

Totally thought they were going with Griffin when Lucy got delayed.  Totally forgot that Spin had gotten ordained.  Seemed fitting that he was the one to marry them, though it was too bad it was an actor that we have no connection to (and I'm saying that as someone who hates Spin with the heat of a thousand suns).  

Where the heck was Dillon?

So nobody told Griffin that Claudette is DEAD?  Not Maxie or Lulu or Nathan or Dante?  Not Anna, who is supposed to care about him and is supposed to have a close relationship with him? Despite all of them knowing that Griffin at one point LOVED Claudette, and still had unresolved feelings for her? None of these assholes told him what happened?

No Lucas and Brad at the wedding? No Grandma? No Scott or Kevin? No Dillon or Valerie? No random extras to fill up the empty chairs? Fail GH.

I hate Sam and Jason. I hate when they look down at others, I hate when they act like they are SO MUCH BETTER than people like Julian. Just freaking ONCE, I would like someone to sneer back and throw Jason's kill history in his face and ask Sam how much of a turn on it is in the bedroom? Just fucking PUSH that shit BACK in their smug faces.

She did seem subdued when Georgie came but to be fair the lines were just "Georgie! I'm so glad you're here!"

There is something off. Could be she's depressed, could be she has skin issues making her feel self-conscious, or maybe she just simply plain old is crappy at acting now.

I remember one time back in 2006 when Liz got to throw it back in Sam's face that she was always getting herself into trouble and needing Jason to risk his life saving her.  Sam stood there with her mouth agape with nothing to say in return.  I loved it.  Of course that writing smack down didn't last.  Thanks Frons/Guza.  Not.

Sigh.  Doncha know that Valerie isn't allowed to be in the same room as Dante and Lulu.  Some fans might get upset. 

Griffin should have told before this about Claudette's death.   Lucas, Brad, Kevin, Dillon and Valerie should have been at that wedding for sure!!

The only way I'll ever have tolerance for Sam/Liz scenes is when the show allows them to hate each other. 

[ulkis]

I get Spinelli doing the ceremony but they could have gotten anyone else to do the announcement at the reception. (Which was actually kinda nice to see a reception. Honestly it was almost as full of people as the friggin' Nurses Ball.)

@Perkie , speaking of KSt being off, at said reception when Nathan and Maxie kissed, afterwards Maxie had this sarcastic look like, "okay thanks that's enough." 

They must have blown what budget they have between the wedding and the boss' new set.

Nina isn't necessarily wrong about it being too soon for Charlotte to find out Lulu is her mom, but I have a feeling if Lulu said Charlotte should get a new coat Nina would be like, "it's much too soon for her to have a pink coat. If she were any kind of mother she wouldn't want her to get a pink coat right now."

Anna's hair was great.

I'm going to guess Olivia won't be on for a while, because that was a lot of Olivia to pack into one day. Of course it might just be that crying Olivia makes it feel like there's that much more.

Why is Nina allowed to make any comments whatsoever or have any opinions on what is best for Charlotte? She's been her step-mother for a day or two at most and known her for two months, barely.

Lulu IS going too fast, but I have a feeling that if this was solely up to Valentin and Nina (mostly Nina), Charlotte wouldn't ever know her true link to Lulu.

Absolutely.  By having Robin say it, followed by Felicia's "did you get officiated" ,  when both of them would know that Mac had officiated last time, just made the two of them look like dummies.

And she never smiled with her teeth, it was always that fakey looking smile people do with their lips.  To the point where I was wondering if maybe she had broken a front tooth just before filming and had to hide it.  Also, we never see her say her vows.  Nathan starts it then we hear them say it over the flashbacks.  It was all just weird.  

As for those flashbacks, I know KSt was pregnant in the scene where Nathan shows up the first time, and was just back from mat leave on the next one, but holy, talk about looking completely different than she does now.  Again, I get that she's been sick, but she's way way too skiny now.

Jordan is Nathan's boss and works with him on a lot of cases.  Valerie is a rookie that hasn't had scenes with any of the other PCPD members, except Jordan to discuss the evul that is Curtis.  Personally, I was fine with Valerie not being there.  Dillon on the other hand, was in the office two minutes ago, trying to prevent her from leaving, yet now, he's not there.

So much history. In my head, they have their own show.

No Lucas and Brad at the wedding?

I read somewhere that RC is in Mexico shooting a movie, so I don't blame them for Lucas not being there.  Also, Lucas didn't go to his own sister's wedding so going to his cousin's would be a shocker.  Though, I wouldn't want to go to JaSam's wedding at Casa Corinthos either.  

 

Gotta say, would have loved to have seen Britt and Frisco hiding in a corner, watching the ceremony, without anyone spotting them.

Jordan has a stronger tie to Nathan as his boss than Valerie does as a colleague. We get no references to Nathan and Valerie doing anything together. 

Though I'd love to see Lulu trying to simultaneously shoot daggers at both Nina and Valerie. Heh.

I don't think RC's movie impacted Lucas being there, we know he filmed those scenes with Sam we saw a week or so ago around the same time.

And even if it did, how hard is it to throw in a line that Lucas got stuck at the hospital, Lucas has the flu, etc.?  But I'm guessing Jelly don't even know that Lucas is Maxie's cousin and, in fact, has had a familial relationship with her longer than Sam OR Carly.

I'm for any and all moves that bring more life and variety to the sometimes moribund foursome of the two handsome cops and their pretty, sometimes ditzy, wives.  Therefore, I am way past ready to develop that age group more with characters like Valerie, Dillon, Spin and even Griffin (who, age-wise looks as if he belongs to that grouping).  As well, I'm all for having more working cops visible. 

So I continue to indulge in some "what COULD have beens" ... and "what SHOULD have beens."

That must have been what Anna was talking about when she was saying "so much" had happened; and then later when Griffin asked her about it as they were taking their seats, she said it was a conversation for another time. 

But to be snarky-fair to all those folks, they generally only talk to Griffin when they want him to do something for them, so . . . (shrug)

It's amazing how they continuously make Liz look in these scenes with Sam. Liz not only would never date Franco, but she also would never go to a woman who had been sexually assaulted by that dude to try to get her to help him.

In all fairness, we haven't seen Griffin in about a month, until he showed up yesterday at Sonny's house on his way to the wedding.  Plus, Anna was going to tell him but then decided it could wait til after the ceremony.  Plus, everyone else found out Claudette was dead maybe 2 days ago in PC time.  

Quote

 but she also would never go to a woman who had been sexually assaulted by that dude to try to get her to help him.

Especially when the other person invovled is Sam's own mother.  

But then again, the Liz I know and love would never date a serial killer/rapist in the first place.

Liz is gonna be all kinds of insufferable tomorrow. I already feel my rage building. And then I assume Sam, since she's not allowed to be anything but compliant and sweet now, will end up agreeing to help Franco, which will honestly send me over the edge.

Hey, maybe that's why I actually enjoyed this ep!

I don't give a shit about Maxie/Nathan and I forgot about like at least 90% of the stuff in the flashbacks, but I still thought the wedding was mostly cute and fun. Sure, there was a lot of stupid, but I enjoyed it for the most part. And I actually liked Maxie's dress, hair, and makeup. KSt looked the best she's looked in months imo. But damn those flashbacks really illuminated just how different she looks now. I worry about her, too, @Perkie.

I so agree. I liked Blake Berris on Days and I really liked him today on GH. I found myself wishing they'd bring him back as another character, too. I mean they don't really need any more characters, but at the same time most of the current characters suck so!

I liked Blake Berris; I didn't even think he did that badly in the role considering he was brought in super last minute. It was just too bad so much of this stint depended on the audience being familiar with him.

I don't know why they didn't rewrite the Spinelli scenes if BA couldn't be there. Any scene with Spin could have been done with someone else. But props to Blake Berris for doing a good job with a very particular character.

Mac is so the best parent in PC, hands down. His delight at being with all his girls was so sweet.

Hey, André, why don't you butt out of your girlfriend's professional life. Ugh. He's turning into a gross control freak.

Has Griffin officially left the priesthood? Because I think even a priest on leave is able to officiate at weddings. I cracked up as he loitered in the background. And he's the last to find out about Claudette.

Wow, Julian is getting the rewrite: Olivia admitted to Ned that Julian loved his kids.

Preach!  I hope for this every single ep.  They are truly insufferable.

I enjoyed the wedding, though Dillon's absence was glaring since he was so involved with the pre-wedding shenanigans.  Didn't like the decor or whatever that thing was covering up Maxie's dress, but otherwise...  It wasn't an old school soap opera wedding, where everyone in town, including those who hated the bride and/or groom and vice versa, showed up, but it was a better effort than the ones that take place in someone's living room and only very immediate family show up.  And, I may be at a table for one, but I like Nathan.  I, too, worry about KSt, though.  I've never been a fan of Maxie, but KSt has always brought a spark and an energy to the role that just isn't there these days.

Sooooo smug!  Between the two of them they've killed and conned more people than many in PC--yet they sit in judgment?  Take several seats, you insufferable pair.

Are we sure Maxie wanted to marry Nathan?  KSt played it like Maxie was going to a funeral, not her wedding.

And to file under "Once You See It, You Can't Unsee It," faux-Spinelli looked and even had facial expressions like James Franco.  Now I can't not see that when they show him.  Ugh.

I really thought she played the wedding all wrong. I think she was going for touched/sentimental but she just looked sad/depressed and like she didn't want to get married. Robin looked like she was the one walking down the aisle, TBH.

I am not a regular viewer and I have noticed KS being very odd with her mouth, not smiling, not showing her teeth.  Originally I thought it was her being self conscious about her face, but that is not it.  She has been looking down, very awkward, and never smiling.  So something is clearly going on.  My heart goes out to her, I hope all is well, and this will pass.
