Kevin has a publishing deal and is writing a book about her?! WTF, writers. Why would he do that? Because Robert Fucking Scorpio is in town, and the writers needed a Reasons/Helena to shitcan the relationship in one show. Saying "Kevin, this was all nice, but let's step back a moment" takes up two or three shows, and they need that airtime for Jasam and Lante, not to mention All Nina all the time. 9 hours ago, stlbf said: Kevin? I find it a hard to believe that he would not tell Laura about possibly wanting to use some of her Cassadine stories in a fictional book. But, I thought it was a nice call back to Kevin's PC days as a writer of fiction. I think we can now amend to "Reasons/Helena/Commercial Break/Bookdeal". Parker's outlived her welcome and usefulness. Now Show can pat itself on the back for having Krissy come out as.... as.... well, they'll get a GLAAD award out of this, but Krissy will now date and have sex solely with men. 4 minutes ago, Perkie said: Quote Since Dr. O had Lulu's original embryos (implanting Rocco into Britt), perhaps she knows what happened to Lulu's eggs. Wasn't it that there were three embryos, one became Rocco, one Stavros had and wanted to use for a StaLu baby and three that Lante have and were going to use that is now not viable. That's correct. I would not put it past Show to say there were more embryos created. Think "Boys from Brazil"/"Orphan Black". 4 Link to comment

Perkie August 26, 2016 Share August 26, 2016 Robert Fuckin' Scorpio is my all time favourite soap character, so I have no problem when he's in town, but why bring him during the summer when Anna's out of town and other than Mac/Felicia, he has no other family or connections in town? Or is he being used in the Valentin story, as in the WSB is on his trail because he escaped type of thing. 1 Link to comment

I want to see Liz and Rebecca Budig go at it again. I'm sorry. Liz took the diamonds over to Franco's so she could get his "advice." Liz wants to turn the diamonds in to the feds because then Hayden will go to prison and so Raymond Berlin's victims can recoup some of their money, but also because Hayden will go to prison. Also, she wants Hayden to go to prison. Franco was like, well, you should turn the diamonds in to the feds then, causing Liz to make googly eyes at him. It was nasty. Also, Naomi and Hayden came back to Wyndemere and discovered the open box; Naomi looked through it for the diamonds while Hayden sadly hugged Nik's suit jacket. I don't remember the specifics of the original Lante embryos, but I thought there was only one left, which is the one Dr. Lee just told them isn't viable. But Lulu said something about how Stavros harvested her eggs before putting her in the deep freeze, so while there's a Lulu-Stavros embryo out there somewhere, there are maybe a bunch of unfertilized eggs as well.

I couldn't care less about the hypocrisy, but Liz has a point about throwing HaChel in prison. Those gems belong to her dad's bilked victims. And HaChel took them for her own means. Which then brings up why she needed Ric's money as an excuse to be in PC and the whole lying about being "Jake's" wife. But whatever. And Liz only had the belief that Nik ordered the hit on Hayden. She didn't know for sure until much later. She had no direct evidence. It isn't like she witnessed him giving an order to the hitman, had video or a paper trail of the payment. 6 Link to comment

I really think that's the only intelligent thing that they've done with this story. It's been executed sloppily, because that's what they do - but since neither the actor nor the writers seem to have a grasp on the character - providing latitude for out of character behaviors makes sense, they just need to allow the other characters to react to those OOC behaviors 3 Link to comment

Why not just have Dillon and Paul get along, since it's obvious they won't get into this any deeper? And Paul's working on a murder case, Dillon was being petulant. Is Sonny in love with Julian?
