TeeVee329 February 21, 2017 Share February 21, 2017 (edited) Wow, Ned hasn't been married since Katherine/Lois? And then there was the failed engagement to Alexis, then Skye briefly (and grossly), and then...nothing 'til Olivia? Poor Ned. ETA...oops, I forgot Alexis's sister, that was his pairing between Alexis and Skye. Edited February 21, 2017 by TeeVee329 2 Link to comment

It's like they WANT us to make jokes about cousin-loving and Michael glimpsing her bewitching ankle from beneath her petticoat. And I never noticed how much Nelle smacks her mouth till now. Between that and Michael nibbling at his lower lip, it reminded me of Garth and his girlfriend from Wayne's World making googly-eyes at each other. I don't think Ned and Dante are an ignored bond/connection. When would they really hang out? Maybe in off-screen GH they could have hung out at some gathering at Olivia's but even on off-screen GH Ned and Olivia have been keeping their relationship on the down low. The problem was there should have been some awkwardness in the scene between them. I wasn't looking at the screen and I thought Carly was the one who was all "woo hoo can I get in on that action" and I grumbled, and then I saw it was Robin. Woops. I love how they teleport between scenes most of the time but now that Sam and Olivia J are in the car together Sam seems to live an hour away from the hospital. 4 Link to comment

Oracle42 February 21, 2017 Share February 21, 2017 Imma need Nelle to be revealed as AJ's daughter, because Michael/Nelle are a black hole where chemistry goes to die.* But before that happens, I need her to step her game waaaay the fuck up. *Gets angry all over again that the actual chemistry that JMB/NP had was completely wasted because of TG's stupid issues while the bland sandwich that is Nelle/Michael continues to get screentime. 8 Link to comment
dubbel zout February 21, 2017 Share February 21, 2017 Olivia's hair in that flashback was hilarious. Oh, '80s, you so funny! Ugh, more whinging from Sonny about sleeping with Nelle. Gah. It's all of his own making! Why am I supposed to feel sorry for him? Double ugh to Jordan for blaming all her woes on Curtis. I'm pretty sure he didn't force her to kiss him. And André is a grownup: What he does is on him. Michael and Nelle are unbelievably boring. Duller than dull. 4 Link to comment

Took me a minute to remember that one is dating the other's mother. Eeesh. Or maybe I just have a bad memory!! I couldn't figure out at first why the hell they would be speaking to each other either. But I do, in fact, have a terrible memory when it comes to this show so that might be why! 3 hours ago, TeeVee329 said: Michael and Nelle are anti-sex. Really though. It's embarrassing. BM was even doing his I wanna kill you/5 year old child grin when he hugged Robin. I'm starting to think that's unfortunately just how his smile looks. I enjoy thinking of him actually wanting to murder everyone because he hates his job so much though! This episode wasn't terrible, I guess. But I did skip quite a bit of it so.

If you can accept that there's a wormhole that usually links most people in Port Charles with wherever they want to go, it's not much of a stretch to believe that there's only one road in town, and that no matter where you want to go, not only is it always on the other side of town, but you'll have to drive down the stretch of that road that narrows to one lane, on a dangerous curve, by a cliff, at night. ;-) 7 Link to comment

Also I live in the country and when we lose power our well pump goes off, therefore, there is only enough COLD water in the pipes for one flush of the toilet. (Thank god we have a generator.) They would have been better off getting out of their wet clothes, cover up in blankets and sit their asses down by the fire. That can be very romantic. Sharing dirty lukewarm/cold bathwater is not romantic. 8 Link to comment
ByaNose February 22, 2017 Share February 22, 2017 Kimberly McC really lit up when she saw MB but was just acting when she saw BM. It must be hard to come in for a visit and act with a legacy character like she had with Billy Miller. It was a throwaway scene but it just didn't work because it wasn't SB. I like Olivia jerking Julian around but she's turning into another Heather Webber loony toon. What is about turning 80's straight villains into comic crazy people. Is it that hard to write for a female villain from the 80's/90's? Link to comment
Asp Burger February 22, 2017 Share February 22, 2017 (edited) A "NO SERVICE!" reprise would have guaranteed I watched every minute of this show until it gets canceled, even if SWSNBN rose from the dead and entered into a Latter-day Saints arrangement with Jason and Sam, and the three of them were on every day asserting their superiority. Quote When Robin mentioned Olivia Jerome and how awful she was, you could see the gears in Sonny's brain slowly moving. You can figure this out Sonny, I believe in you! Other news: There's nothing wrong with an older man/younger woman relationship on a soap, but I feel as though the show wants us to think Ned and Olivia are around the same age, and sorry, no. The attempts to make Kurth look perennially fortysomething actually make it worse. He's pushing 60. Also, talk about a treading-water character. Poor Ned. Stuck in one gear since the 1990s. I like Michael and Nelle's scenes, and don't care if I'm all on my own. :-) Trying to figure out the point of giving Anna polycythemia vera. Is it a cause dear to someone who works on the show? How is this going to work? Are they going to occasionally have Anna mention that she will meet someone right after her phlebotomy? Or she's being kept prisoner, and it will be suspense that she could have a stroke if she doesn't get to an appointment? It just seems limiting. Some kind of cancer that would go into convenient remission would have been better for soap action-heroine purposes. Edited February 22, 2017 by Asp Burger 1 Link to comment
ulkis February 22, 2017 Share February 22, 2017 (edited) Was she played as a serious villain all the though?

Yet bingo! Robin ran into Sonny chatting with Jason, and soon Robin and Sonny's heads were together in earnest discussion about Anna's plight. Yes folks, Anna's cancer was giving Sonny a chance to soothe Robin, reminding all of us of his selfless love of AIDS-stricken Stone, Robin's old boyfriend. This time I DID throw up in my mouth. Why is a genius doctor spending any time at all in the company of a mumbling murderer-scumbag like Sonny Corinthos? How long does his ancient awkward "Attaboy" to Stone mark Sonny as Port Charles's Wise Philosopher and Whirling Dervish of Healing Chakras? Sonny has no wisdom to impart, and no blessings and healing to give. 6 Link to comment

Wait, since this is TFGH, don't you mean the Bolivia one? 12 hours ago, dubbel zout said: Hey, you snooze, you lose. Usually/often an engagement ring is passed down in the male line. Not by folks that I know. Daughters get their mother's personal goods. Sons usually got their father's personal stuff. Unless items were specifically tagged for certain people. If a woman only had a son(s) I can see it happen. Since Tracy doesn’t have a daughter, I can really see her holding on to the family jewelry for Brook-Lyn and any other female grandchild Ned or Dillon have. If Emily was alive, perhaps. But she would've most like have been gifted jewelry from Lila herself if she had lived. Any AJ /Jason spawn? Not sure if Tracy would be too generous with them. If Alan was alive, sure. He could bully/guilt her into giving them something of Lila's. It would be interesting to see if Tracy would leave Lulu anything. As she became her insta daughter for years. Not that the show has bothered to have Lulu or Tracy remember that they are supposed to be close. So Tracy should be a sounding board for Lulu, along with Laura and Maxie. Which could parlay into a Laura v. Tracy tiff over Lulu and the hospital's future. But could be very soapy and dramatic. Who wants that on a soap opera? 2 Link to comment

If Jelly wanted to put wet drip with Michael they probably shouldn't have had her drug his father, get him naked, and manipulate him into thinking he cheated on Michael's mother.

Oracle42 February 22, 2017 Share February 22, 2017 Eh. Ava switched Morgan's meds. She replaced the meds of a person with a severe mental disorder with sugar pills. That was incredibly heinous. She knew that he was going off the rails because she saw him the day that he died - and she was the only person who knew exactly what was wrong with him. She is responsible for what happened to him. She may not have intended for him to die but she intended to do harm. Olivia's involvement is actually accidental. The only difference between this and AJ's murder was that Ava was actively trying to get AJ killed 2 Link to comment
