I know.  It's criminal.  But if that's what it takes to get JE on the screen, I'll take whatever crumbs those crumby writers toss out.  I've said it before and I'll say it again,  Jane Elliot could hold master classes in how to inhabit a character and make it REAL,  and for some reason, this show refuses to acknowledge that.  It couldn't have anything to do with ageism...could it? I wish the writers could remember what a beloved character Lila was, and at even a more advanced age than Tracy.  But they probably dwindled her screentime too, as she got older.  I can't remember. 

I think Jane Elliot likes working with the young kids of GH. Apprently, she is very friendly with all of them. It's too bad they just can't have a mature guy for her who isn't trying to dupe her. Can't she just have a mature guy who is really into Tracy but not trying to dupe, cheat or embarass her?

Didn't she have her 2-second menopause "story"? And, while the character may be younger than NLG, the character still has 3 grown or almost-grown daughters. She shouldn't be able to be pregnant at this stage, I don't think. But then I remember the idiots writing this dreck and...yeah. Why not add another spawn from Alexis and a scummy/crazy loser? 

Having a woman in her 50s get pregnant after going through menopause would be one of the least ridiculous things this show has done in recent memory, unfortunately.

Honestly, Scummy is driving me further and further away from this show. The mob is just so....90s, early 2000s. I don't understand how such a Sesame Street version of the mob and a mobster is popular with people. Did they not watch The Sopranos?? How could anyone look at Tony Soprano and then Scummy and think 'Hey, this tiny lil greasy haired dude is SUPER SCARY???!?!?!? Lawd, what I would give to have Olivia Soprano show up and make Scummy cry and pee himself, in front of ERBODY.  Fuck Maurice.

Slow clap. 

Here's one comparison. Tony is taking his daughter on a college visit. He recognizes an "enemy" who is now in the witness protection program. While his daughter is visiting the school, Tony goes back and kills the man. personally. because it had to be done. Contrast this with Sonny who has been wronged. He brings a goon and then sits and watches the goon beat up the "enemy." 

I'm not condoning violence; I'm only saying Sonny doesn't command a lot of my respect.

Um, show? It really wasn't necessary to try and recreate Tyler's big ass tattoo on the new guy. The paint was so bright I thought it would glow in the dark!

I didn't even notice but this is so ludicrous. I can't believe they would spend the money to recreate TC's stupid tattoo, which as @ulkis pointed out doesn't even make sense on Nik. That is a priority to them. It just boggles the mind.

[Cheyanne11]

I'm sure I missed some vital (ha!) dialogue that enabled Jason to find the place where Nik and Ava had been hiding, but when he picked up that earring (?) I really thought he was going to sniff it to get the sent and then bloodhound his way to wherever their new destination was.  #WorstActionStoryEver

Plus, it makes no sense Nikolas has that tattoo in the first place, the temp actor not having it is a good thing.

Exactly! There's no way that a Greek/Russian prince would have a big-ass Native American tattoo. Or a big-ass tattoo of any kind for that matter. OLTL covered up RoHo's tats for years. I can't imagine it costs that much to cover TC's, although it's a moot point now since GH never cared enough to do it and it would look odd if he suddenly didn't have it.

Couple on the outs + woman gets sick + uncreative predictable talentless writers = pregnancy. But maybe we'll get lucky and Alexis will just have a brain tumor or something. 

With these writers, she'll have a recurrence of her lung cancer. Nausea will be their "tricky" way of "fooling" us.

I did enjoy Dr. O yelling that Finn had to be arrested immediately, and he calmly walks up to Valerie and holds up his wrists.

All of the so-called mobsters on this show are a joke. Even one of the idiot third string idiot mobsters from The Sopranos would have a field day with Sonny, Ava, and Julian.

You know, once I got over my immediate and involuntary gag reaction, I realized this is win-win for me.

If it happens, it may very well be the final straw that breaks this camel's back. And it has little to do with the ludicrousness of the idea considering Alexis's and NLG's age (It was painful when Rachel was pregnant on AW and second-hand embarrassing when Marlena was pregnant at nearly 60 back in 2005-ish). It has to do with Julian f-in Jerome getting another child on this show. Uncle. Seriously. Uncle.

And if it doesn't happen, then my eyes won't get eye strain from rolling to the top of my head.

So, win-win.

I was startled awake during Dante and Lulu's boring baby rabies stuff by the Lucky mention.  Wonder what that was about.  Then I drifted back to sleep when they started talking about naming the baby after Nikolas.  Did they just reuse an old script and cross out Connie?

Speaking of boring, Kristina and WhatsHisName are with a capital B.  If they're just treading water until the Parker actress comes back from maternity leave, there's several other characters this airtime should have gone to instead.

Shut up, Sonny.

Sonny telling Julian that Alexis is pregnant? Excuse me, but we've already watched her menopause storyline.. I mean, I thought I had seen that. Wouldn't her husband know her body better than this? Come ON, she is far too old for him to be tricked into thinking she accidentally wound up pregnant. How they can justify letting Sonny lecture anyone blows my mind.

Lucky can't come home after his brother 'died' because he is saving refugees in Africa? Please stop. I wish they had killed him off or given his character full custody of Cam/Aiden.

I'm going to have a rage induced stroke.

Lucky finally got a mention is this stupid Nik "dies" story. LOL at Lulu wanting to name her baby after Dikolas. What a great brother he is faking his death. I hope she yells at him but knowing these writers Lulu will blame herself and apologize to him.

I think you may be right, Lovelynn. The clip of Alexis saying "I'm pregnant" in the previews seemed more like a surprise reaction to hearing the news than a statement upon realizing the fact. But that might just be wishful viewing on my part. 

on a related note, I hate unctuous lizard Sonny more than any other version of Sonny, even the one where he stammers and mumbles so badly that I've become genuinely concerned about his medication,  and I'm really resenting the way he's being painted as the do-gooder in so many stories right now.

OMG! I forgot about Rachel's twins with Carl Hutchins!!! I miss that show. Maybe Felicia Gallant can come work at Crimson. Or Cass Winthrop can open a practice with Diane. 

I wouldn't complain about Alexis' menopause baby if they added a little warlock to the coven.

Ok, I have to admit that Alexis faking a pregnancy to trick Julian into confessing would be gold. But only if every one other than Julian realizes the ridiculousness of the premise.

Julian:  Watch out, lady with a baby coming through.

Nikolas/Lucas/Brad/Jason/Tracy/Carly/Lulu/Dante/Epiphany/Anna/Ava/Paul/the mailman:  But .... ummmm .... isn't she .....?

Alexis:  Shhhhh! Don't say a word! Not. one. word.

***

Maxie/Nina/Sam/Sonny/Scotty/Nathan/Christina/the garbage man: But how could Julian NOT realize that you're faking a pregnancy?

Alexis: Look, he still hasn't figured out that he has a dead squirrel on his head, and it's been there 6 weeks. We'll be fine.

Alexis brings home a sonogram, and it's an pencil etching of a baby in a stomach, like that woman coming home from Las Vegas commercial.

Sonny saying that he doesn't break his word is crazy, doesn't he remember promising to Michael that he wouldn't hurt AJ and then plugs AJ in the chest leaving him to bleed out on the floor. Perhaps, show wants us to forget that.

[Perkie]

Alexis is pregnant?  

Ok, option 1; 50 something Alexis, who went through menopause 5 plus years ago, is really pregnant.  Man, Nina's going to be so pissed.  And Lulu!

Option 2;  She's not really pregnant but she and Sonny cooked this up together to try and scam Julian into confessing.

Option 1 is stupid but so is having her leave her phone lying out where Julian can clearly see it, with the giant microphone logo on it, clearly showing that she's taping him, while she leads him on with 'you killed Carlos' type statements.  

Option 2; Is genius if we think that Julian will fall for it.  I know men are kind of dumb about girl issues, but surely Julian would know that she couldn't get pregnant at her age.

I'm voting for option 2.  

And I want a pony.

And a year's supply of chocolate.   

On another note, how long was Jason staring at the earing?  Yesterday's episode had him show up a the cabin in daylight but today he's still in the same spot but it's pitch black out.

She says it in the previews to someone. But maybe the full sentence was "you told Julian I'm pregnant?" or something.

Now that I'm recovered from pregnant Alexis:

I couldn't hear a damn word that Kristina and, er, Aaron is it? what with the gravel crunching under their feet. Sounded like someone chewing cereal right next to my ear. Not to mention the screaming children and the wind. Film indoors, Valentini.

I enjoyed the Ava/Nik scenes, even though they would be better with TC.

I'm starting to think Sonny has a tent in the bushes somewhere next to Alexis' house. 

DZ looked good. First time ever someone got dressed up for the metro court even though it's supposed to be fancy apparently.

I saw Sonny lifting up Dante's tie and it looked like Sonny was going, "that tie is right on top of the spot where I shot you!"

I'm a little surprised they haven't taken this opportunity to say Olivia fled to Brooklyn because of Julian's many, many crimes. I'm serious, she's barely on. Next time she pops up just say she's back to visit Rocco.

Ava/FauxNicholas continues to be the most entertaining thing on the show.  Goodness knows, it sure isn't Jason and his "exciting" adventure.

Someone asked this on Twitter, and I was curious (and bored) enough to Google current weather in London. Low's were in the mid-50's with rain every day. So I can accept their jackets in London, but probably not in PC. At this point though, it's almost like a work outfit to me.

Yes the June weather in London is averaging in the low fifties and sixties, with 88 percent humidity. Nik and Ava are north of there, so it could be a bit cooler. For example, in the city of York the temps are slightly lower. Sam is so tiny and skinny; I'd bet she is always feeling a bit cold when most of us are comfortable. My 30-yr-old nephew is very slim and lives in London permanently. He always takes at least a light jacket, but not necessarily a leather one.

LOL that Sonny thinks he's not a coward. Shooting AJ was the definition of cowardice. I wish Alexis would let Sonny have it: His concern is not for Kristina. He wants to see Julian go to prison. That's all it is. Girl child doesn't factor into it. Neither does girl child's sister.

Ava and Nik are so pleased with their knowledge of everyday Latin.

You don't know how much I want a story where Carlos haunts Anna. Not in an angry way, just in a meddlesome, troublesome, obnoxious kind of way. Lives with her, Topper-style. Patrick Swayze to her Whoopi Goldberg. Gives her dating advice. Helps her solve crimes. He complains, he says the house is big enough for the both of them, etc., etc. Plus that's where the fates put him as a constant reminder to her not to shoot anyone, regardless of whether she kills them or not.

Sounds like a fresh and brilliant idea! Usually I can take only a little dose of ghosts in the sl, because the focus can wander away from verisimilitude and distract from the human interaction. For example. right now I think the sl has overkill with the Carlos ghost haunting Julian without a break. It's an interesting psychological twist to show a burden of guilt as an external ghost, though, so I'll allow it.

Love that Sam jumped up to go back to be with her mother as soon as she heard.  And loved the ILY exchange before she left for the airport.

It doesn't ring true for me that Goth Girl would leave the excitement and proximity of Jason's penis as well as their Excellent Adventure to go see Mama. No matter what danger Mama is in. Sam and Jason dress alike and seem like halves of the same person. Together they are dull--a dull merged couple blob. 

I hope that Nik succeeds in dropping Ava, so that she runs into unguarded Jason in Europe and manages to hook his sexual curiosity. Lightning would strike and he's be besotted. Sam would be too offguard about Mama to notice, but Carly's head explosion would be seismic and impact the Eastern seaboard.

Oh, to see Ava and Jason rev their mutual sexual attraction like a buzz saw in front of Sonny and Carly!

I kind of like Kristina's guy, Aaron. The actor is comfortable on camera, attractive and sweet, and certainly fit. I just pray his ex-girlfriend who's grieving her dog is someone we never hear about again, and doesn't turn out to be Darby or some shit.

Did they not watch The Sopranos?? How could anyone look at Tony Soprano and then Scummy and think 'Hey, this tiny lil greasy haired dude is SUPER SCARY???!?!?!?

If anyone wants to see MB's general "shtick" of quiet, glowering menace done really successfully, check out Richie Aprile from the second season of that show. Now that guy was nightmare material.

Of course, the two best-remembered things about him are his final scene (I won't spoil it) and Tony barking at him, "Don't give me your f---in' Manson lamps!" when he tried to give T the staredown.

I was confused with Aaron being shirtless with a towel in the random park. Where was he coming from? Was he supposed to meet Kristina there or was it accidental meeting? He's not a bad actor, good looking and in tip-top-shape. That said, he's kind of meh & boring by soap standards.

I had the great misfortune to watch live today and the only good thing I saw in the show was an oh-so-very-very-rare moment of honesty when Alexis told Sonny that everybody in Port Charles lives in glass houses.

He just happened to run into her. 

Apparently this tiny piece of green space and gravel on a hill has magic properties, the equivalent of the PC transportation wormhole, or some weird kind of gravity anomaly.  He changed his clothes and then said something about having had a change of clothes in his car because he always did because he never missed a chance to go swimming on hot days in the summer. So, either the pool is in the wormhole, or it's on its side and, due to PC magic, the water doesn't come out.

I'm assuming Alexis is not really pregnant, or even thinking it, because the scene cut when she "had to tell" Sonny something. We didn't hear the conversation, which was probably, "I've been setting up acting sick to my stomach to plant the seed in Julian's mind." 

Sonny's hypocrisy about Julian's danger to Alexis was especially fun today, because only a couple of years ago he was threatening to kill his true love Carly (over the accidental Olivia shooting) if Olivia didn't survive.

[BlackMamba]

I mean is Julian this stupid???   Is he!   I get it's a soap but even with Alexis age he should be like "Huh,  wait a minute!"   ??

[LeftPhalange]

Aaron's ex is going to show up at some point.

Alexis thinks she's lying about being pregnant but will eventually find out that she really is knocked up. 

Lucky thinking Nik is dead but still not coming home is jut more character destruction. I like how Lucky doesn't exist where DNAJ and the other two are concerned but the writers make sure to mention him now. 

[Asp Burger]

Was he supposed to meet Kristina there or was it accidental meeting?

It was a "Fancy meeting you here" TV bump-in. The seedy-looking park is the new "docks," it seems. She said she didn't know he ran there. Then he said he had been texting her to offer support over Alexis (repeatedly? That isn't needy or anything), and she apologized for not responding. She's been busy sending her own unreturned messages to Parker. Love in the afternoon! 

The part I couldn't get past was when he changed clothes between scenes. He said something about having an outfit in his car, and I'm thinking, "But you were running in a park in the summer for however long and then just put a clean outfit on, no shower? Ew."

I need to get my hearing checked. I thought he had been swimming and that's why he had a towel. LOL!!!

[OhioSongbird]

Yep....swimming was what I heard, too.  He is a cutie pie but you know we can't just have a cute & nice guy on this show.  Even Dante & Nathan have some baggage.  What's his back story ya suppose.

Still want to hear about TC.  I want him back with Ava.  They have some nice chem and slow burn.  New guy is OK but miscast as Nik....IMO.

[NutmegsDad]

Since Jason won Trial by Combat, I guess this is the last we'll see of Evil Foppish Guy, since when Jason tells you to stay away from anything Jason or you're dead, you stay away, despite your resources and your minions. Gee, why didn't he do that with, say, Helena?

Oh, NutmegsMom figured out that the Weeping Nyad was a nod to the Weeping Angels from "Doctor Who". Ha ha.

Sonny and Alexis say that a menopausal woman is pregnant. *pause* Show will go into this direction, unless, as NutmegsMom surmised, it's actually a heart attack/stroke that mimics pregnancy.

 

Otherwise...
