Was this the first time we have seen Margaux into DOD other than carrying the book around?

I presumed that she is actually working on some sort of undercover investigation of DOD and was dropping all that info re the flash drive to set Shiloh up.  Yeah, no, she probably is just stupid enough to spill all that random info to him.

Didn't they do that with Joss and Morgan?  And it never slowed Carly down for one second haranguing people.  With the Joss pregnancy, it was especially emphasized that Carly must not be stressed in any way, yet five seconds later, she's yelling and waving her arms.

It will be Ava she's yelling at when she has a stroke/tock, so she'll be able to blame Ava for that ad nauseum as well.

I hope Shiloh's already on to her game and is just drawing it out for his own entertainment -- or revenge.

That would be great, wouldn't it? But we all know he's going down, and going down hard. No one can make a fool of Sam and Jason.

Or Julian.  Maybe she'll have a craving for avocado toast and he didn't get his bread delivery that day.  She goes storming out of Charlie's and trips on her own hypocrisy and tocks out.

I hate LWB/FS, his smugness about helping Maxie bust Sasha is unbecoming given his resume of lying and manipulating people.

I didn't think he was being smug, Peter was just having fun with Maxie and teasing her about her mission. Even if he was being smug, it's not like he was calling Sasha a bunch of names and acting like he was so much better than her. He's happy that Maxie - someone he cares about -  is doing something to help someone that she cares about. Did you take offense at Maxie's "smugness" given her own resume of lying and manipulating people?

No offense at all, but is there anything they could do with the character to get you to like him? Because you seem to have a deep hate for the character and, even beyond that, dislike the actor just because his girlfriend is the lead actress.

I don't think they're making him a "goofball", not in the slightest. He should be allowed to display a sense of humor, or a sense of fun, every once and a while, despite what he did. Otherwise, he'll be accused of being boring, stick in the mud - which he's been accused of anyway. It was a year ago, which in this day in age of soaps, might as well be ten years. His lies may have helped someone get killed (and Nathan's own boneheaded actions, along with Lulu's and Liesl's) but he didn't kill Nathan. Characters on this show have done far worse. He's apologized and tried to turn his life around. And turning his life around includes not lying to the woman he wants to date, so he did the right thing by telling Maxie what he knew about Valentin. Maxie is the one who put the dots together about Sasha. Maxie is his, apparently, intended love interest so he should be cheering her on when she's trying to protect someone she cares about.

Did we know that Port Charles was 100 miles from Niagara Falls? Given the state of roads in this part of the country, a fast sports car is the last thing I would take to Poughleepsie.

Kevin has been in Ferncliffe since August. That's six months ago, no wonder this story feels like it's been dragging and dragging.

Still Laura's reunion with Kevin was sweet, until Laura started talking about Carly.  Although you know Laura, part of the time Kevin was trying to keep everyone from finding Ryan so not completely blameless.

Why did Ryan leave the light on as he left? Make it even harder for them.

The eye makeup for Ava and Alexis was terrible today. Super dark smoky eyes is not a good daytime look on women over 45.

I'm going to ignore the whole "Franco pleads guilty" because I'm afraid it's stupidity may be catching.

Yeah, I get why this didn't come up today, but that's a question to be asked - Ryan's supposed to be dead, so how was he in a position to swap places with Kevin?  I hope they don't sweep Kevin's culpability completely under the rug because that could be some interesting drama.

I did like that Laura expressed concern for Ava.  If it was Carly, she would have started screeching that Ava probably knew and was in on it with him.

*shrug* Probably not.  Because the LWB part aside, I just think this character foundation was a mess from the start.  And GH does this a lot, they did it was Valentin, bring in someone as an antagonist doing horrible things, and then backpedal all, "Oh, he's not so bad after all!".  Hence him skipping into Maxie's apartment in a baseball uniform.

And, and I've said this before, I don't have anything against the actor himself, and I certainly don't begrudge him and Laura Wright their real-world happiness, but I just don't like his performance in this part, never have.

But hey, YYMV.

Is this road trip time in Port Charles? Shiloh is taking Sam somewhere, the junior teens are going to Niagara Falls, and Peter is driving Maxie to Poughkeepsie.

I assume he just hypnotizes people into helping him with the grunt work, then making them forget.

So.. I guess Franco made this stupid deal without telling his lawyer/father. Man, maybe Jordan should just try this tactic with all criminals.

I don't want Cameron to give an inch when Franco is proven innocent. The damage has already been done - his mother proved to him and his little brothers that she will put the word of a former serial killer over the concerns and safety of her children. By marrying him, she has chosen to put Franco in their lives permanently and given him an authority role over her boys.

Okay, I googled Poughkeepsie to see where it is, and it is nowhere near Niagara Falls.  Why have all sorts of people heading out on road trips if they are going in completely different directions?

The kids need to dress warmly to see the Falls right now. It's frickin' cold in Niagara Falls in February.

Ryan said they were in Ferncliff's basement.

Did I miss the conversation about how and why Ryan is alive?

Why are people referred to in court by their stupid nicknames? I'm talking about Lulu and Kiki being mentioned by Margo.

I like Trina. I hope she continues to be a truth speaker and not just a Joss supporter.

Nina is as obnoxious as Carly.

Unfortunely, Lulu is right this time.  And it was for that worthless Franco.  Doesn't matter that we the audience know the truth, a victim has identified her attacker, and they treating her testimony as worthless..  It is a pretty shitty way to treat someone who was almost murdered.

It's also really inappropriate to cross the court room to harangue the defendant.

Lulu was told that she would have her chance to accuse Franco in court. If she can't wait for that, she shouldn't have come.

I stand by what I said. It was shitty to treat Lulu like that, especially for Franco. I resent it because it was for Franco. And it isn't like Scotty is capable of doing something so underhanded as to drum up sympathy for the worst of his children. 

Here is the other thing, Franco "helping Jake" should not be used as some huge plus as to why he is a better person, instead to used as a demerit, since a large part of it was his from his completely undeserved job as an art theraptist. Anyone who has been in counseling or done any type of theraptic work (full disclosure, I do both) learns is that you do not establish relationships outside of the sessions. It was one of the first things that was told to me at volunteer training for grief support is that the relationship is only within the volunteer time. You can't babysit for them, you can buy girl scout cookies from them (acutally happened to a fellow volunteer) you can't even approach them if you see them in public. As for my counselor, the first meeting he informed me of the potential process of terminating the relationship and that we would not be in contact for a minimum of two years afterwards. 

Franco, as his role as an art theraptist, used his role to get closer to mother of one of his patients, and no I don't think he did solely because he connected with Jake so much; he did it part (large part) because he was developing a romantic interest in Liz.

In the past, the show at least attempted to lay down some professional ethics with therapy.

Seriously. Lulu has every right to her feelings about Franco, but that doesn't mean she can yell at him in court. I had to laugh she didn't feel vindicated when Franco pleaded guilty. She'd probably not be satisfied if she could flip the electric switch herself.

Word to the person who mentioned how ridiculous it was that nicknames were being used in court instead of legal names. Sonny is always called "Michael 'Sonny' Corinthos," so it's super aggravating the women don't get the same courtesy. TFGH misogyny.

Especially when Margaux specifically warned Lulu to not make a scene at the arraignment. And of course, Girl Reporter didn't feel vindicated as she probably was planning to write day to day articles for the month long trial of Franco.

And finally, Lulu didn't find it suspicious that Laura was not there when she was released from the hospital or unable to meet her at the arraignment. When Laura has been overprotective mama bear since Lulu's attack. I guess Spencer didn't tell Lulu that Laura never came home since he is presumably staying with his grandmother.

So Laura isn't going to ask how Ryan still exists?  You know, the dead guy?  How he was allowed to get away and nearly murder her daughter?   She certainly seems to be able to overlook a lot of things -- this is hardly snoring or drinking directly out of the milk carton.

Not really. Sonny and Jason provided good ratings for something like a decade - and decent ones for awhile after that.  I think they are waaaay past their expiration date, but I can see why TIIC are reluctant to get rid of them.
