No, I'm pretty sure it was Sabrina's apartment.

And Elizabeth's old art studio which the show refuses to give back to her!  Ugh.

[Chairperson Meow]

I'm catching up and....I'm like way behind, but why does Valentin have a caterpillar on his face?

2011, maybe?  I think Steven Lars was with Olivia back then and JZ was blackmailing him?  

Yeah, it was around April 2012 I believe. 

[Perkie]

Franco's art studio was a combination of Liz's old studio, Felix/Sabrina's appartment and Lante's appartment.  It was weird to see all of that mish mash together

Quote

Whenever Curtis and Andre have a conversation, I expect Andre to say he's not falling for a banana in the tailpipe

This made me laugh so hard because I can picture it and because I loved that scene.  

Here's a question why does Curtis call Jordan "Miss Jordan" when referring to her in the scene with Andre?  Did he decide he's auditioning for a Driving Miss Daisy redo?  

I loved that shirt on Ava, when I saw it on her 87656 days ago, but now I really really need her and Sam to find new clothes somewhere and change because oy, it's annoying already.  

Well hello Mr Jasper Jackes.  Looking fine as usual, although i could do without the scruff.  Here's hoping you don't get run over by the Sonny bus.  

[Sake614]

Did he call her Miss Jordan? I thought he called her commissioner?

[mybabyaidan]

Best part of the episode, besides Dante tacking Sam, is whatever the hell Ava was doing in the background when Sam was out cold on the beach.   I think she was playing with a piece of grass.  But it's hilarious what little fucks she gives about her niece (and vice versa)

So is that where Franco lives now, the art studio?  He obviously can't be staying at Nina's anymore.

And would Kiki continue to live at Nina's with her (gag) surrogate dad ousted from there? 

[dubbel zout]

They are pushing Franco so hard as the hospital killer that there's no way he is. Even if Franco were played by someone other than RoHo. That won't stop him from being wrongly arrested and charged, of course.

The staging of the plane crash wouldn't be so terrible if the writing were even slightly better. Why didn't anyone build a fire?

Poor Kevin, shoved behind a rock. At least Laura is checking on him.

He called her that when he was talking to Andre.

Just remember they share a sister AND a brother.   Just....no.  Plus Jason already has dibs.

Wait.....a sister and a brother? I know that Girl Child Kristina is Sonny's kid, but Sam isn't related to Michael or Morgan. Is she? It's so hard to keep track.

[TeeVee329]

It's Leo, Julian and Olivia's completely unnecessary spawn. 

[Ambrosefolly]

Leo. Olivia's and Julian's kid. Because they could hid a pregnancy behind coats and purses.

Gawd, this show even managed to make a plane crash boring.  Obviously, the actual crash was going to be off-screen.  And obviously, no one was going to die.  But none of these people are even injured or wet or dirty or look like their hair is mussed, AFTER SURVIVING A PLANE CRASH?!?! 

And then they stick poor Kevin behind a rock so they don't have to pay poor Jon Lindstrom? 

You mean we didn't even get a Holy Hitman head injury?

And the proof in that is that I'd forgotten the brat existed.

[RedheadZombie]

It's amazing to me that after loving Sam for a decade, I can barely stand her.  So many reasons, but to start - the exposed cleavage, regardless of circumstance, ridiculously high heels, again regardless of circumstance, and the single-minded obsession with all things Jason.  I actually hate the name "Jason" because I can hear her shrilly calling it.  And lastly, the inconsistency of Sam, brilliant P.I., holding a gun with authority, transposed with ignorant bimbo Sam, shrieking "Jason" as she runs into the jungle at the sound of rustling - endangering everyone.  I wouldn't have minded if they pulled an Airplane - Laura, Lulu, Ava, and even Kevin, standing in line taking turns to stop her hysteria.

Yeah, Leo sure opened up a lot of story possibilities, didn't he? So glad LiLoC's real-life pregnancy was written in.

Lol yes. Which, perhaps this is extreme of me, feels like someone painting a hate sign and being like, oh hey, I'm painting it as a representation for what it meant before that hate group got to it. Except in this case, Franco didn't even get it from somewhere else, he just made his murder tag on his own and made it a murder signal from the start

Poor BH must have had second hand embarassment from that painting. Whatever did she ever do to you, props people.

Amy's hair looks like a wig to me.

Why did they have Dante tackle Sam off screen? 

Oh no, will poor Franco be falsely accused by the police AGAIN?

Because you want me to know what it's like to have Dante in the purple bedroom under the circle thing listen to Sam talk about Jason, and then whip out a guitar he totally always knew how to play! 

[stlbf]

It kind of looked like Liz's old artist studio to me, too.

Jax looks great. At least he has that, when this terrible show throws him under that speeding oncoming bus. 

Wait, why can't Liz have the great, good looking billionaire who has generally been a decent man, as a romantic partner?

[Lillybee]

I find it very funny that when both Sam and Snarly talk to Jason, they have to use his name in very sentence as if he will forget his name if they don't keep reminding him and this started in his pre amnisa days.

I always felt that Jax could do better than Liz (and Carly). I would just like someone relatively normal at this point.

[stlbf]

Hey, Jax had V. And he threw that away. And Alexis was too into Ned. Not much fresh blood in this town. Darby? Lauren? Valerie? God forbid. There is Olivia or Nina if you please. Dr. O or Amy, nosey nurse/possible serial killer? Jordan, joke of a police commissioner? 

If fucking CARLY and SAM were considered good enough for Jax, then so could Liz. She sure as fuck deserves better than the creepy reformed(?)serial killer.

Not for nothing, but better than Franco includes just about everyone in Port Charles with the possible exception of Sonny, and having to choose between Franco and Sonny would be like having to choose being shot or airlocked. I wouldn't mind her getting with Jax, but if all you're looking for is a step up from what she's got right now, the list would be pretty long.

[Lillybee]

If Anna were back in PC, I could ship her and Jax.

Didn't the show flirt with that idea when Elizabeth was going to be Jax and Courtney's surrogate?  And didn't IR and RH hook up back in the day? I remember being horrified because I thought she was so much younger than him.  Turns out there's only a six year difference, but she always looked so young.

[Lillybee]

I wish that TPTB would sign Jax on contract. This show really needs a basic good guy.

Dante: Wow. Cool. Are these tear stains and a resignation letter on the strings?

Sam: ......

Ingo is living in Hawaii and recurs on Hawaii 5-0. He is doing better than this show and he'd only be decimated into dust against Jason and Sonny. So Jax can stay in Australia. (Unless I can have Jaxis. Otherwise, what I said!)

[Jazzy24]

Jad should die, to keep him away from that loud mouth beast Carly. 

And no Jax does not deserve Liz she is right with who she belongs with: a serial killing, rapist, loser who has the personality and emotional level of a child. 

Sam needs to die to, death is better than what she's stuck in.

[LeftPhalange]

Was it really necessary to make over half the episode about Freako? Was it really? I don't think it was.

Finn didn't need to make an appearance during the Jax and Carly scenes. 

I would have liked those very bad fake island scenes more if it were just Sam and Dante, with the others hiding behind a rock with Kevin.

And they could make smores which would be more interesting to watch than this failed 'adventure' story.   Ava's facial expressions are the only reason that I hesitate to push the FF button to the highest speed during the island scenes.

Disagree about Liz. On paper,  I do think Jax can do better. In the real world, someone like Jax could date and marry a supermodel with little problem, but even the things she has done, she is still too good for a man whose first interaction with her involved kidnapping her newborn son from his hospital crib. Maybe a divorced EMT could date her.

I said this in the spoiler thread, and it may be unpopular, but I'm #teamskye.  She's the only woman in his life who's never chosen someone else, particularly Sonny, over him.  I truly believe that he's the one that got away for Skye.

I am dreeeading how the show is going to shove him under the bus in this story.  I am going to have to watch through my fingers.

[tvgoddess]

I've been away for a little while and am mostly caught up now - except I did kind of fall asleep watching yesterday's show last night...yawn. 

My god, the show is just so bad. The production values are a colossal joke. Here's what I was thinking during that outside island stuff:

Frank (walking through already): Hey, mind if we use your backyard?

[TeeVee329]

So they introduce a Big Bad Cassadine villain and their first priority is having him fuck Nina?  Ooookkkayyyyy?  The whole thing reminded me of Stavros/Lucien Cain and Chloe Morgan.  Maybe he'll end up leaping out from behind some curtains and strangling Nina?

And the Cassadine Island story comes to a completely anticlimactic end, after poor Kevin spent another episode stuck behind a rock.

Shut up with this throwing Jax under the bus, Show.

[Lillybee]

Is this the first time that Jax has seen Sonny since Sonny tried to kill him? I would think that Jax would say something about that but the white washing of Sonny continues.

[ulkis]

Poor Billy Miller looks like he wants to throw up explaining the ridiculous way Jason survived.

[lovelynn]

What the hell is that blouse looking shirt Franco is wearing under his jacket? He's an artist again, we get it. His greasy hair hair needs to be completely lopped off. UGH. So gross. How is he on contract and JAX isn't?!!!

Liz/Franco is not appealing. Worst date ever. She is so pathetic. Can't she just be single? Doing nurse things at the hospital, caring for her boys, showing that she cares about poor departed Nik...

Why have they aged up Joss and not Spencer? I hate random SORAS. Age them all or none at all. It is so stupid to have one in kids camp and the other looking like she is going into high school in the fall.

Kristina is ridiculous. If that's not love you don't know what it is. Lust? Infatuation? A good lay and good chemistry don't equate to love. She is too old to be this stupid.

Nina and Valentin? I'm OK with this if they promise not to show them sucking face or in bed together ever again.

Sonny being suspicious of Jax, of course his instincts are going to be spot on. Jax as the shady one or coming off as the big bad in this situation is so not something I want to see. Do these writers want to piss off their remaining viewers? Who are they writing this for? I am so pissed. Screw you show.

[rur]

Crimson's only been around for 10 years or so. How could Valentin have grown up with it? And how come that lie didn't give Nina any second thoughts about lounging provocatively in her hotel room while a stranger had control of the doorway?  Sheesh, show. 

The way Jax muttered to Sonny about his unexpected arrival, I suspect we're going to find out that Sonny and Jax together know something about the obtaining the kidney. 

Most boring island rescue ever.  But I sure did love Jax telling Carly the truth about herself.

Edited August 2, 2016 by rur

[ulkis]

Did no one tell Joss Sonny and Jax don't exactly get along??

When Morgan was pouring himself ice tea it looked like he was randomly puking in a bucket in the background. 

[Vella]

Again with the "Dad knew so many GAYS growing up in New York!" bit.  And it falls, humiliated, like it should.

Nobody is buying it GH. NOBODY is buying Sonny knew GAYS unless he was shrinking back in horror, or punching one in the face and being a big man in front of his boys.

Stop. Just stop.

Sort of. They decided to stick with notLucky and Liz and have them get into a custody fight with Jax after SkipperBitch couldn't keep her hands off Nik and couldn't handle the baby not being hers biologically. Or some such bullshit. But Carly's shitty driving killed the baby. Then SkipperBitch got her miracle baby with Nik. Which brought about the stupidity of Jax claiming the baby and Carly helping him steal baby Spencer for some dumb reason. Giving us the hell of CarJax.

I think that IR dated RH's sister for a time. 

Fucking Sonny. Because Sonny, a fucking mobster, needs to right 100% of the time about 'shady' Jax. 

Since I haven't seen today's show yet, how the hell did Joss suddenly not know that Jax and Sonny hate each other? She used to spout off about it all the time as a little kid. Even blackmailing Carly over it a couple of times, IIRC. Stupid fucking show.
