TeeVee329 February 23, 2017 Share February 23, 2017 (edited) I again thought Tonja Walker was kinda good today. And I thought the little surrogate bro/sis moment with Robin and Griffin was kinda cute. Otherwise, meh. LUCY!!!!!!!!!!!! in the previews! I was wondering why she hadn't popped up as part of the Q's buying the hospital stuff, given her involvement in it back in the fall, and here she is. 15 minutes ago, Linny said: Robin says Anna has cancer ...should she really be telling everyone she bumps into about that, btw?

Vella February 23, 2017 Share February 23, 2017 I know I'm suppose to sympathize with Anna being sidelined and frustrated but my GOD her unending WHINEFEST was just too much. First the whining/pouting to Quasimodo and then to Robin and Griff. Thank goodness Robin finally had enough of her bullshit and demanded Anna take care of herself for Robin even though we all damn well know what a laughable request THAT is. Anna won't do shit when it comes to Robin's best interest. And why is Robin so goddamn chipper when Jason slags off the police TO HER FACE. Her parents are law enforcement, the man who RAISED HER was a cop for most of her life. Maybe issue a frown and a frosty retort to Jason's stupid face instead of acting like he said he doesn't like ketchup. She looked like a freaking moron replying like that. Sam having the NERVE to righteously wail about poor Morgan and being collateral damage or that Liv was a murderer was such a JOKE. Why did Liv not acidly throw Jason and Sam's history of mob love? Or the fact that they currently live (at least partially) off of Jason's blood money and are currently running around working to clear a MOBSTER of blowing up his kid? Or their long history of supporting mob life in Port Charles and their killing and destroying lives? Sam doesn't give a shit that Liv is a killer. Sam only gives a shit that someone SHE cares about paid the price. NOW it's suddenly wrong. Liv should TOTALLY have called Sam out on her double standard. What a fucking waste. RoNik mention! Yes! 6 Link to comment

Maybe it's because I didn't see him back in his heyday, but he always seemed fairly boring. Liv could have spent the past two decades finding herself another Scottish lad who likes to tango, but no, vengeance it is. Word! Since Dewq hasn't been on the show in a long while, newbies are probably puzzled and bored with the constant mentioning of him by Anna, Griffin, Robin, Julian, and Liv, among others. When he WAS on the show, Dewq was a grunting, hard-to-understand, wooden mannequin who could apparently tango. Very forgettable as a lover for Anna and a father figure for Robin--I don't recall them hanging out that much. 1 Link to comment

Well, to be fair, Robin was "dead" and/or being held prisoner most of the time Duke was in Port Charles this go around. I get that Duke - under Sonny's thrall - ended up sucking, but I don't think that invalidates the history he has with Anna and Robin. They did love him, they would see his son as part of their family, etc. Though the show went waaay overboard with Justice For Duke, to be sure. Edited February 23, 2017 by TeeVee329 6 Link to comment
Vella February 23, 2017 Share February 23, 2017 Robin declaring that Duke was practically her father was RIDICULOUS. No Robin. Robert is your father. Mac is your REAL father, the one who raised you and weathered every damn storm with you. Duke was a guy your mom was in love with. You cared about him and him about you, but don't sell him as something he CLEARLY was not. 10 Link to comment

C'mon! Nobody, not even the vaunted WSB, should be able to kill other human beings with impunity and at will without consequences! I'm sick of the guessing games and raised eyebrows of Valentin. But I'm even more livid that Anna could ever go around jerking chains and playing loosely with the lives of others because she was a bigass "SPY" at one time! 1 Link to comment

I have no problem with Robin viewing Duke as a father figure, he was her stepfather and a figure of her life when she was young and she did love him. What's the harm? It doesn't invalidate her relationships with Robert or Mac. Edited February 23, 2017 by TeeVee329 7 Link to comment

I dunno, it's still the same night she/Anna found out about it, Anna's trying to wrap her head around it still, it just struck me. ETA...maybe because those scenes aren't really about that, about them supporting Robin, it's just the "small talk" before they get into the Jerome of it all?

Of course Finn has collapsed on his hotel room floor. LOL at the precisely placed terminal at the nurses station so we don't see KMcC's bump. It's hilarious to me that they go to great lengths to hide pregnancies, but so much other stuff is so incredibly sloppy. Another LOL at Curtis's disbelief that a second Jerome sister might not be dead after all. He hasn't been in Port Charles long enough, clearly. Hee. 3 Link to comment
ulkis February 23, 2017 Share February 23, 2017 (edited) "D'archum asylum"? Is that Port Charles' 50th mental hospital? When's the last time Anna was actually in the field? The one time she actually got into the nitty gritty was the fight with Carlos. Griffin tries to make a joke and I can hear gears squeaking. "I'm Nina Cassadine". Shaddup, Nina. I think Jason could have said "I'm sorry" a bit more casually to Robin, but it would be tough. Wait, so Julian killed Duke on his own? So does that mean Julian actually killed Carlos? So . . . I guess Olivia came in after that and said "alienate your wife or I'll kill her" after that? It was cute how the cop was pleased to see Anna and then was like, sorry, I got to arrest you. Wow, so glad they dedicated time to Finn sniffing. Edited February 23, 2017 by ulkis 4 Link to comment
lovelynn February 23, 2017 Share February 23, 2017 When Sam fell down the hill my first thought was sweet, we won't have to deal with another useless kid on the show. Since that is what my cold heart desires I'm convinced that Scout will be 100% fine. Robin trashing Valentine was enjoyable. The rest of the episode was a snore. 2 Link to comment

Perkie February 23, 2017 Share February 23, 2017 Loved the realism of the scene where Anna's heading back to bed with her IV pole and Robin asks if she needs help and Anna snaps something, 'no, I'm fine". Robin threw her a side eye. It was very true to life how people in that situation would be feeling and reacting at that moment. Finola and Kim just know how to work it. I also found it hilarious that in some scenes it was clear they were trying to hide Kim's belly, like at the desk with Griffin behind the computer screen, but other moments, mostly in the room with Anna, where her belly was in full display and there were no doubts that there's a baby in there! 5 Link to comment
