Lola16 February 12, 2015 Share February 12, 2015 You know who else's reaction to Sonny's release we're missing? Duke's. How does he feel about being demoted back to mob flunkie? Will he continue to live at Sonny's house, "The Odd Couple"-style? How will he feel about Sonny and Julian now being BFFs? OK, I'd kinda like that. Duke and his tea box. Both of them staring at a box of Pampers. I thought Scotty looked good yesterday compared to the last several months. Besides a solid fashion sense, what are Maxie's redeeming qualities? Spinelli, Nathan and Felicia keep talking about how giving she is and her good heart. Maybe it's there, but I see more of a me-first perpetual teenager. She doesn't even listen most of the time to others when they talk. That scene between Scott and Lulu, yesterday, convinced me that this Fluke story won't end with the reveal that Helena brainwashed Luke. Lulu is going to go to the wall, believing they can de-program Luke, only to learn this is DID or something else innate in Luke and she won't have Helena to blame. Helena just seized the opportunity to exploit Luke's illness/issue/dark-side, once she realized she could. Agreed. I thought Helena got that 'aha!' look when Tracy claimed Luke must be under her control and Helena saw it as her ticket out. 5 Link to comment
Francie February 12, 2015 Share February 12, 2015 OK, I'd kinda like that. Duke and his tea box. I seriously love this idea. Duke is the fastidious one. Like Felix. Felix the cat. Wait ... no. 8 Link to comment
EngradyPind February 12, 2015 Share February 12, 2015 Someone really, really, really needs to give the writers an intensive course in GH history. Don't the writers have some sort of character compendium to guide them in writing dialog for the players? If they don't, they need one, a big one. Link to comment

IWantCandy71 February 12, 2015 Share February 12, 2015 I have nothing against Rebecca Budig-I am neither impressed by her, nor do I dislike her-but I'm beyond tired of them bringing on more actors and then wasting them. In the almost twelve years since she's been back, Jane Elliot still has not yet been the focus of her front burner storyline. (while TG continually gets material, but I digress). Leslie C hasn't had a sl in years, Lynn Herring Ian B and others all brought back and misused. They should first prove they can use the people they have. If they can't do that, why should we get excited over yet another new character? 8 Link to comment
MSquared February 12, 2015 Share February 12, 2015 Yeah, it's called the internet. Clearly they don't use it. Actually, I think it is very clear they use the internet, just for the wrong things...like troll the fan boards and calling out the haters, 7 Link to comment

TeeVee329 February 12, 2015 Share February 12, 2015 Maybe Liz and Nikolas are meant to be together because they were both acting like assholes today. I guess Ric will be drowning his sorrows alongside Scotty at the Lizard Lounge. Poor Morgan, Sonny and Carly's vision of life together included Avery, and maybe Michael, but not the son they biologically share. Also, I'm not sure I buy Carly being so eager to raise another woman's child. Have no sympathy for Maxie. 6 Link to comment

Bringonthedrama February 12, 2015 Share February 12, 2015 Maxie, I reallllllyyyyy hope Nathan dumps your ass. The offended look she gave him when he said she's an accessory to Johnny's crimes made me want to see her in a cell. Yes Maxie, you are a bad mother. The answer, Nathan, is that Maxie is still very immature and doesn't think about consequences. Lulu, I think it's pretty clear your daddy is unmoved by/uninterested in your anger and disgust. "Simpering spawn" ... Lulu, just walk away. And your father was never a hero. Sheesh. For the love of... stop calling 'Jake' toy soldier. It's really annoying. Sonny thinks he and Carly are going to raise Avery and be a family, and Carly's shedding tears of happiness. Please Jax, sue for full custody of Josslyn. Carly, it's none of your business why Kiki has Alexis in her own home. I will assume many wanted to smack her for her parting line to Kiki. Those two are so disgusting with the 'home, where you belong' stuff. Sonny clearly thinks his new possession is going to be a great part of his life. That last shot, of him leaving the scent of Ava blanket downstairs was good directing. Ava who? No, Carly is your mommy now. Elizabeth, you have been naive about Ric. Glad you finally bought a clue re: his actions and jealousy of 'Jake.' That line about feeling like she knows Jake better than she knows Ric made me roll my eyes. Ric did not get a personality transplant while he was away, Liz. 6 Link to comment
CPP83 February 12, 2015 Share February 12, 2015 Maxie...when she put her hair up did her brain fall out of the back of her head? Seriously...Nathan is spouting logic and truth at her, that in helping Johnny she broke the law and could pay a heavy price and yet she gets a "'tude" because he reminded her that unless he helps to cover up her stupidity she would miss out on seeing Georgie because her dumb ass would be in jail. Lulu ranting at terrorLuke made me want them both shot. Nik is a rat and should be tossed into a hole with his demented granny and terrorLuke and then they all may be buried alive in cement. At least giant baby Avery made an appearance. Tomorrow looks sort of promising, a father and son talk between Lucas and Julian and Brad running into a wall of abs. 2 Link to comment

admiralrodcocker February 12, 2015 Share February 12, 2015 Again, Team Kiki! I almost teared up when she was talking about Avery's blanket made out of Ava's pillows. I thought it was sweet. Regardless if Kiki ends up with any custody at all, Sonny should not be around children. Period. Avery is much safer and better off living and being raised by her older sister and a doctor, instead of some mobster/murderer (!!!) and his side piece. Also, Team Nathan. I don't have much of an opinion on Naxie either way, but I'm starting to agree that Nathan can do better than her. It's such a lop-sided relationship. She will bring him nothing but irritation and mishap and might end up costing him his career one day. And yes Maxie, you are a shit mother, a very selfish, short-sighted person, and very low on intelligence in general. Ugh, this rant is taking me back to the surrogacy days wherein each and every day she justified to herself and whoever else knew that she was carrying her own child that it was the right thing to do and why she couldn't just open her fucking mouth and tell Dante and Lulu the truth from the beginning. She's so goddamn stupid. 9 Link to comment

ulkis February 12, 2015 Share February 12, 2015 Damn it, RP wasn't that bad today, no unintentional comedy for me today. Except at the end where he was supposed to convey disappointment and his voice sounded the same monotone. But he didn't do too badly with the anger part. I think Lulu's daddy issues may be worse than Dante's. At least Sonny seems to like him. I can't say it's not in character but I wish she just left him in the cell in the middle of his crap. Why is Tony Geary deciding to almost slur all his words. I'm so sick of his awful acting. Liz, before last year, hadn;t spoken to Ric in about a decade, so I have to laugh at her "it's like I don't know you at all". You don't, silly goose. Avery was so cute playing with Sonny's jacket. That said, it was such a dick move how he was like, "okay, Bye." I guess he didn't know what else to do but surely there was some slightly more graceful way to exit. "This was Michael's nightlight." Michael Michael Michael. Jesus, poor Morgan. Did he even have a room or did they stuff him in a box with some gluesticks? (which he of course ate.) Grayson McCouch looked like he was on the verge of tears in some of his scenes. Yeah, welcome to the inferno buddy. And boo, I wanted to see Helena with reading glasses on. Ugh, I hate it when they have Olivia in super flail mode, and meeting fake friends/relatives. Maxie, I reallllllyyyyy hope Nathan dumps your ass. The offended look she gave him when he said she's an accessory to Johnny's crimes made me want to see her in a cell. Yes Maxie, you are a bad mother.

She should have walked away from him the moment he called her kid a slobbering infant. Screw whether he's brainwashed or not, really. Let Fluke/Luke bow to himself and his imaginary audience.

tveyeonyou February 12, 2015 Share February 12, 2015 It is worth interrupting GH for even if the press conference is of the POTUS sneezing. Nevermind topics of national security. Just to clarify, I am a news junkie and understand the importance of national security and what's going on in the world. I apologize for snarking on the press conference because I broke my self-imposed rule of never bringing politics here, which is why I deleted/edited my original post about a minute or two after I posted it (you're fast, you beat me to my edit :D ). I was cranky from being stuck in the house with bronchitis going on four weeks now so I lashed out without thinking, as soon as I reread what I wrote I edited it immediately because as I said, I don't like to be political in an inappropriate place and I realize that we all have our own opinions on politics and the state of the world. I'm sorry if I offended anyone with my 'now-it's-here, now-it's-gone' post. <<extends hand in apology, reminds self to keep all political thoughts away from television discussions, considers letting my cat William post whenever I'm cranky and sick>> :) =^..^= 2 Link to comment

Avery is much safer and better off living and being raised by her older sister and a doctor, instead of some mobster/murderer (!!!) and his side piece. It is a sad sad day when this is the truth (the Kiki part).At this point Nina (sans Franco) would have made a better parent than Sonny. I just hate that Sonny can just return to life after killing AJ and gets to collect his "prize" of Avery after mere months. I think part of it is his getting one over on Ava, since his older girl child indicated he didn't pay much attention to her when it no longer caused Alexis pain. Even if turns out that Morgan is the father, he still gets one more living biological descendent. That makes a total of 5 so far vs Monica's and Scott's one each (I refuse to count Franco. Heather is lying. That he isn't his kid). 4 Link to comment

dubbel zout February 12, 2015 Share February 12, 2015 (edited) Also, I'm not sure I buy Carly being so eager to raise another woman's child. It's not about raising Avery, it's about Carly being able to crow about what a good person she is for helping raise another woman's child. Bonus points that it's a woman she and Sonny hate and he has tried to kill multiple times. Look at how noble Carly is to put aside her feelings for the terrible mother! She's such a giver! I cannot wait until Nikolas realizes that (GASP!) Helena has double-crossed him/everybody. I look forward to his self-righteous indignation. It always cracks me up when he gets on his high horse with Helena. Dude, you're the idiot who throws in your lot with her in the first place. Edited February 12, 2015 by dubbel zout 7 Link to comment

Not his fault, of course, because he's also got to be wondering what the hell his point is on the show.

loveigniting February 12, 2015 Share February 12, 2015 (edited) This is a story involving characters with a complex history. It's not a training film on how to treat rape survivors. Cool story. I know what that history is and it doesn't make me side-eye Scott any less just because it's in character for him. It just makes me think he's kinda basic. And, no one's asking for a rape survivor training film if they point out Laura's continued victimization. As if this show uses its history properly or if it resembles a complex nuanced narrative lmao. As to the show today, I continue to hate everything to do with Fluke and with Jake. I'm glad that they're in cells next to each other so that I can FF them both at the same time. Ric looks good, though. Maxie's hair looks stupid as hell. I think I liked Nathan and his earnestness for a minute when he brought up Georgie. I'm not a baby person at all but Sonny holding that innocent baby just seems gross.

OnceSane February 12, 2015 Share February 12, 2015 When Sonny said he wanted to give Avery the father she deserves, I screamed at the tv, "Call Jax, fuckface!" And yes, all the talk of Micheal and his nightlight make me wonder what did Morgan have? A pillow? Morgan had a dirty washcloth he kept beside his rickety cot in the leaky basement.

JaneDigby February 12, 2015 Share February 12, 2015 Dear God, could Sonny and Carly have been any more terrifying when they showed up to snatch, I mean, take Avery? Those ghoulish grins would frighten any child. It was like Hansel and Gretel, I tell you. I worried that they were planning on Avery soup for dinner, that's how scary they were. (Note: MB continues to be freaking adorable whenever he's holding Baby Awesome.) KA brought some game today, which was a nice change. Too bad I was at work because when Alexis said "you have to ask yourself if it's better for this child to be raised as a Corinthos" it begged to have "NO!" shouted back. Characters like Nathan never have an easy time. Being Dudley Doright in a town of mobsters, serial killers and loons is a thankless task and a recipe for boring. So I feel a little bad that Nathan makes my eyelids very, very heavy. I wonder if I would feel that way if he was holding Baby Awesome? 8 Link to comment
Chairperson Meow February 12, 2015 Share February 12, 2015 Dude. I had a washcloth as a kid too. I went through this weird thing at like 3 and my parents said I carried it everywhere. I called it Clothy. One day Clothy met a mud puddlr and they said I never wanted to play with him again. My brothers still mess with me about it. They had freaking nightlights. Assholes.

I just hope Michael sees that these two hideous people are about to do to that baby what was done to him and intervenes.

And it's not just that Keeks is anti-Sonny. KA did some legitimately good work today, particularly with NLG. I don't want to start any rumors, but did LW look a little different, particularly in the eye area, to anyone else? Maybe it was just lighting and make-up. I can't believe Nik freely admitted to Scotty that he stole the election.

Sonny and Carly are GH's version of the Thenardiers. (the innkeepers from Les Miserables) They just keep going being their awful selves while everyone else falls around them. Which makes Morgan Eponine, which kinda works. And why again was Billy Miller necessary? I have nothing against the guy, but all I get from him is bewilderment at what he's supposed to be playing. Not his fault, of course, because he's also got to be wondering what the hell his point is on the show. I think having Jason wander around town for 5 months with amnesia proves how much the character was not needed back yet. You know whose absence is a gaping hole and BM would have been good for? Rhymes with Bucky. Characters like Nathan never have an easy time. Being Dudley Doright in a town of mobsters, serial killers and loons is a thankless task and a recipe for boring. So I feel a little bad that Nathan makes my eyelids very, very heavy. I wonder if I would feel that way if he was holding Baby Awesome? I like good characters, but they have to be played by good actors or there's no spark or life behind them. And the poor guy playing Nathan, while trying, just doesn't have enough talent to make it work. I do think letting Nathan hold Avery would improve him a bit.

NLG is a good person screen partner. She doesn't defend Franco The writing is slightly better and less ADD. How Kiki has been portrayed over the last few days is what should have been the core of her character all along. Instead of lying to Michael and Morgan and being the knower of inappropiate secrets, she should have been someone that grew wary of the mob. There was a scene after Michael killed someone at his apartment, where Kiki questioned how Michael could be okay with the level of violence that surrounded his life. She watched how being a Jerome for probably only a few years could turn her mother into a cold blooded killer and now has to hand over her little sister to someone that kidnapped, imprisoned and threatened her mother. 11 Link to comment
