dubbel zout August 18, 2014 Share August 18, 2014 (edited) After the experience she had with Stavros, Lulu in particular should be brushing this off like dirt off her shoulder. Which is why I was SO annoyed when Lulu acted all teary and scared at the ceremony. Sheesh, Spencer, stab the guy with your heel and knee him in the groin. Or is that move exclusively reserved for Lauren? Edited August 18, 2014 by dubbel zout 4 Link to comment
WendyCR72 August 18, 2014 Share August 18, 2014 Britt, Nik, and Liz are trash. So they fit into the rest of the show just fine then! The whole show is trash. 1 Link to comment
ulkis August 18, 2014 Share August 18, 2014 (edited) Britt, Nik, and Liz are trash. Nik is the worst one though. If Nik and Sonny were locked in a room together, how long would it take for them to resist having sex? Not long, although you know they'd be mumbling "this isn't half bad, not that I'm gay or anything" through the whole thing. Oh God, I'm starting to want this to actually happen.

Tiger August 18, 2014 Share August 18, 2014 (edited) I was really hoping that Freakco flailing around like a toddler would cause the elevator to fall, plummeting into Helena's catacombs and killing both he and Nina. I was really impressed that Frank paid for not only rain effects but a few extras and two dayplayers! It's sad how easy it is for this to impress me now. I loved Anna's hat, Mac looking pissed, and Lucy referring to Levi as "dingleberry". Why cant I quit this fracking show?!? Edited August 18, 2014 by Tiger 5 Link to comment

Chairperson Meow August 18, 2014 Share August 18, 2014 I rather loved the scenes with George and Nina in the elevator. They're my new Todd and Blair. I know. Blasphemy. But when he was angry and rightfully so, I add, and she stood, I was excited. I got romantic will they I want them to kiss vibes. I give no fucks about Sonny nor Carly until the AJ reveal and they get carted out of town. Anna's hat was amazing. The rain had to be the reason for the hat. I'm scared that we are headed for a three way with Britt/Nik/Liz. Too bad Liz and Britt are too good for him. Nik is a skeeze. I need Helena to smack him. Shit, just shoot him like all the inferior Cassadines. Ric, save Liz. Britt, make an appointment with Kevin. 3 Link to comment

backhometome August 18, 2014 Share August 18, 2014 At least at gun point Lulu isnt going on about babies. Anna and her hat made me laugh. When I first saw her in the rain with the hat I thought I had put on a 50s movie or something. The flashbacks made it more bizarre. 1 Link to comment

When are there ever any stakes on this show? FFS, Jason is coming back. They can't even keep the one good thing they did.

BestestAuntEver August 18, 2014 Share August 18, 2014 (edited) Whoever decided to use that DAMN SHAKY camera effect during the Brik kiss needs to be fired! That shit looks horrible each time they use it. Whatever retro technique/vibe they were going for in the Anna flashbacks failed miserably to me as well. Loved Anna's hat & raincoat thou. I was really impressed that Frank paid for not only rain effects but a few extras and two dayplayers! It's sad how easy it is for this to impress me now. Don't feel bad, after discussion on this board I had the same thought. If the actor is pleasing to the eye, can recite their lines clearly, look their scene partner in the eye, generate chemistry & not make inappropriate/awkward facial expression, I'm in. I'm excited when an actor has talent vs expecting all to have talent. I enjoyed the George & Nina scenes too. For a moment I thought they were actually going to kiss & I would have been okay with it. They are definitely testing them & they click for me. Nik has become a sleaze. Stephan would be disappointed & ashamed. I gues there's no fighting the Starvos genes. Somehow, Ron thinks having Maxie & Felicia talk with sense & remorse now takes away from all the stupidity he's had them do for months. Well it doesn't. This damn Levi story is going to go on for forever. So we get two CarSon kisses but no follow-up to Brad/Lucas.... Totally unacceptable. Edited August 18, 2014 by BestestAuntEver 2 Link to comment

yowsah1 August 18, 2014 Share August 18, 2014 Nikolas is so gross. "I do love you, Britt, but if there's even the slightest chance I can have Liz, well fuck you then. But oh yes, I'm totally down for sleeping with you no-strings attached." Ugh. And, of course, this is all going to be blamed on Britt for seducing him (like she really had to twist his arm) and having him to ignore Liz's phone call. Both ladies need to walk away from this douche, he's not worth any of this.

ulkis August 18, 2014 Share August 18, 2014 The only non-douchey guy in Port Charles is currently laid up in the hospital with a bullet hole in his shoulder. I'd say the two men looking for their twits aren't douchey either. (I mean, Dante can be douchey, but with women he's generally not a douche). I really shouldn't count Nathan, since he's only been on 6 months and that's really not enough time for doucheyness to unfold, but some new characters show it right away I guess so fair's fair. 3 Link to comment

Bawoman August 18, 2014 Share August 18, 2014 Loved the erm..George and Nina scenes.Both actors have the similar type of charisma, which is why their scenes work so well. And I have to say, I swooned slightly to RH's delivery of "What's your secret, twinkle toes?". This may well be the first couple that interests me in the soap since RC took over. What was with the shaky cam thing today? It was done so sloppily, and they used it in scenes where it didnt even make sense. 2 Link to comment
dubbel zout August 18, 2014 Share August 18, 2014 I loved all the raingear. Is this an event that will change Port Charles forever? I also love the ongoing jokes about Levi's last name. "That's an alias, right?" Hee. Nik is pond scum, and Sonny in pursuing mode makes my skin crawl. These are our romantic leads. Ew. EW. Dayplayer elevator repair guy was hilarious. Poor guy; he had way too many lines. "Nina, who kissed whom?" Oh, Franco, you keep it up with that proper grammar and I might become a fan. Then he ruins it by threatening to kill Sonny, and we know that will never happen. Sigh. There was one line where Dante said something about them having his wife and he sounded so half-hearted I was like, "even Dominic can't bring himself to sell this shit". I know. I suppose the fact that Exposition Guy told them Maxie and Lulu were yammering about having been kidnapped before by professionals (heh; that's a pretty awesome burn) kind of tempered Dante's concern. There was a LOT of exposition in general today. Is this more vamping? I prefer it to talk of three-ways, though. 1 Link to comment

Franco was cracking me up, because he sounded like one of us traumatized fans, sitting in the corner, mumbling "the gangster's got to go". I am finding Franco going nuts because Sonny just has to prove a point entertaining, I admit. Ugh this better be the end of Carly and Franco, at least the fortysomethingteenage Amish romance version. This Franco/Nina/Sonny/Carly stuff leading to the exposure of who killed AJ could be so so good if Ron is willing to put Sonny in prison or have him go genuinely crazy and need to be institutionalized, even for just a couple of months.

Tiger August 19, 2014 Share August 19, 2014 I dont think Sonny & Carly have actually been together since 2004. They were either divorced, in the process of divorcing or at least separated for a spot before Tamara left and then with Laura in the role there was the marriage of convenience but she was realky with Jax in the summer of 2006 and then limo!sex when Michael got shot in 2008. Anyway, ive decided that in the future before I watch that day's ep, I am going to put on my FH/DZ 'glasses of intelligence' and think long and hard about whether or not I shoumd watch. 3 Link to comment

P3pp3rb1rd August 19, 2014 Share August 19, 2014 (edited) They should have made Maxie's fugly serape/wedding dress sodden with rain, her face Goth with running makeup, and shivering with stringy hair. Lulu's dress looked dry too. Anna and the men were protected from the cold rain; the girls looked like they could still do a summer wedding if necessary. Mac should have been more in shock, not able to walk, due to blood loss. At least we got the satisfaction of Mac and Flea taking SOME responsibility for horrendous parenting. STFU, Lucy. Extra bitch-slap of Tough Love for you too. I was surprised that Carly called Sonny back; I thought she would have the strength to send Sonny away. I hope they are at it like horny rabbits when Franco comes home-- splayed out on the living room floor, without shame, clothes, or blankets--Carly screaming "Yes! Yes!" as Sonny grunts in greasy satisfaction. And does anyone doubt that naughty Spencer is cooperating with Nik and Britt, hoping he can catch them in a sexual tryst with his camera phone, to score more allowance?

Cattitude August 19, 2014 Share August 19, 2014 ...okay I woke up from my det Special Kitty stupor. Forget Silas, I'm on the Nico train, b/c wow that chemistry was off the charts, and I fellow posters have the luxury of never seeing bad Franco. That almost kiss was very hott! I don't know why everyone doesn't want Carson, b/c to me they are like two sides of the same coin, it might be a nasty coin in the crack of a gas station bathroom floor, but they have chemistry and are made for each other. Let them be together and save everyone else from them. I think the REAL 3-some that happened off screen, Ron's favorite story pallet, is Felicia/Mac/Lucy. Forget Scotty and Kevin did you get a load of Lucy clutching Mac's hand as they walked him GH and the enormous amount of smoke she blew up Felicia's ass about how not dumb she is. Yep, that had real life 3-some written all over it. Lastly I have to defend my guy Nik(bad hairdo notwithstanding) against the ire of the board. Poor guy is the Lucas of this story. I mean he can't help it if two women are fighting over him. Britt is the one who manipulated the situation with a CHILD to the point that they were on the floor covered in marshmallow. She kissed him, he backed away, and told her stank butt the truth. She didn't care people. I mean she didn't CARE that he flat out told her Elizabeth trumps her ass. Nik is a man and Britt basically made herself a booty call. And even then he let a telephone trump her ass. To me Britt is the pathetic one in the situation not Nikolas. Now someone find Felix b/c Nik needs a makeover STAT!(or maybe just Ron Moss's wife, b/c damn but she made TC hott!) 3 Link to comment
TeeVee329 August 19, 2014 Share August 19, 2014 (edited) Nik is a man and Britt basically made herself a booty call. While it's certainly on Britt that she still offered to sleep with him (oh Britt, girl, PLEASE pick your dignity up off the ground), if we're supposed to view Nik as some noble, princely, good guy, he should have respected Britt AND Liz and turned her down if he's so in luv with Liz.

Chairperson Meow August 19, 2014 Share August 19, 2014 I personally thought it was gross dialogue. On both parties. I don't care how much you loved someone or hot they are. If you love someone else, you don't kiss them nor sleep with them or talk about it or even invite them for sleepovers. He should have said here's some money, get a room if he was serious about Liz. But entertaining a Liz reunion also, imo is a slap in the face to his brother, Lucky. I mean, Britt is a smart girl. She's a damn specialty doctor. She's better than being anyone's side piece. I'd love to see her explore her relationship with her brother and get therapy with Kevin to deal with her obvious self esteem issues. Nik needs to book a Kevin appointment too because he has clear cut mommy issues stemming from his Cassadine upbringing. I think he tanks his relationships on purpose. 4 Link to comment
tvgoddess August 19, 2014 Share August 19, 2014 (edited) Count me in on the George and Nina train, damn it. All kinds of chemistry with those two. CarSon continue to be a horrifying trainwreck. Reminds me a little of the Friends episode where Rachel dresses up as a cheerleader to flirt with Joshua. Monica: "I can't let you go out there like that. Actually, I kind of want to see what happens."' Only not really. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31g0YE61PLQ&feature=youtu.be is my reaction. Nik, such a douche. Prince, my ass.

Bring on him running to Nina once he blabs to Michael about AJ (this is all in my head of course). The grossness of Carson will make it so easy to FF their crap.

I dunno...I think it is hate sex affinity. Ava and Sonny were overcome by it in the Crypt, and now Carly and Sonny. Born-to-be-Bad women seem to be attracted to Sonny like moths to a flame. The storm brought all kinds of unexpected events and reveals and kisses to P.C. The cosmos is definitely disturbed. I'll be very ticked off if Franco manages to interrupt Sonny and Carly before they do the deed. Of course he's going to notice the two wine glasses and pizza box right away, and get suspicious. Naturally, Ron has thoughtfully just presented Franco with a cheesy "out"--chemistry with Weird Nina in the elevator. Maybe their mutual crazyiness called out to each other like the badness in Ava and Carly sparked mutual attraction to the badness of Sonny. Edited August 19, 2014 by P3pp3rb1rd 1 Link to comment
Rancide August 19, 2014 Share August 19, 2014 RC has no idea what is or is not romantic. Having Lucas, Brad, and Felix arrange a threesome and then having Lucas and Brad discover they were into each other while they waited for Felix to arrive? Not romantic. Having Nikolas tell Britt that he wants to screw her even though he knows Britt is in love with him and even though Liz remains his emotional priority? Not romantic. At least in the case of Lucas/Brad/Felix, these are characters without significant histories who have mostly been played for comic effect. In the case of Nikolas, it's character-ruining. What am I supposed to be rooting for here? Personally I'm rooting for Britt to kick him in the balls. 7 Link to comment
Fellaway August 19, 2014 Share August 19, 2014 Generally, I hold no truck with serial killers, and, despite my love of RH, I find Franco to be a truly ill-conceived character. But if he can cause Sonny grief, any kind of grief, I'll love him forever. It's interesting, though, that our de-tumorized Franco's first thought, regarding Sonny kissing Carly, is to kill him. Hey, I'm all on board with that, but I guess the de-tumorization wasn't a cure-all, after all. Hopefully, too bad for Sonny. And on the subject of Sonny, he and Carly both need to back off on the tanning. Not a pretty picture, together or separately. Were Dingleberry and ICE planning to kidnap Maxie and Lulu all along, what with the spare clothes for them? 1 Link to comment
