Jordan: Julian's definitely dead.

Ava: Not necessarily.  I fell off that same bridge and ended up in NYC, having cancer and getting fitted for a wig.

Jordan: Yup, definitely dead.

[ulkis]

So Sam falls from the bridge and nary a sprained ankle, and Julian is swept away by rushing tides? Can't these people even try a little?

The weird thing is that Rudge was knocked over in the same spot where Sam fell.  So where did Julian fall?  Where is this water they speak of?  I don't understand how this bridge works.

Rudge: I fell off the bridge just tonight and I'm alive.

Jordan: Yup, definitely dead.

Alexis: Sam fell off that bridge the other day, and Jason found her and delivered her baby there.

Jordan:  Dead.

Me: (yelling at TV) Maybe he actually fell in the damn water climbed out downstream!!!!

Jordan: Definitely dead.

Julian: I'm right here, Jordan.

Jordan: Quiet, you, you're dead.

[dubbel zout]

"Police Manhunt for Once-Thought-Dead Olivia Jerome"—really? Julian needs to hire new people at the paper if that's the best headline they can come up with. Sheesh.

And speaking of once-thought-dead Olivia Jerome, does she really not carry any sort of backup weapon? Mace? Pepper spray? Dirty tissues?

Wow, if Monica is getting sentimental over Tracy, the countdown to JE's exit has definitely begun. And Larry's letter is total nonsense. He has nice handwriting, though. Heh.

I love how everyone is astonished Rudge has no idea where Olivia is.

Jordan's tired of dealing with Julian. I can't say I blame her.

LOL the way Sonny and Carly act as if the PCPD lockup is some giant deprivation. How long will it take for one or both of them to visit Olivia and start taunting her?

It's astonishing. I often wonder if they really are trying and are purposefully making it horrible because it's hard to believe professional writers could be this lazy and incompetent.

I fast forwarded everything Carly/Liv and Sonny/Rudge because I will not tolerate that kind of bullshit anymore. 

I love Tracy's haircut. And I'm glad Monica has a boyfriend. Honestly, it's probably better that we will never see him. Tracy's farewell tour seems to be beginning. I dread the day it becomes all about Luke, but I hope we get some good stuff out of it.

[OhioSongbird]

In my clouded memory didn't Jordan say something about Julian and the river close by?  Rudge was definitely off the same bridge as Sam (no water) as there were the odd offset spaced blocks that stuck out about an inch. 

Help me out here, people.....

[Perkie]

I'm fairly certain "the bridge" is always the same one, unless there are multiple bridges around town that look the same.  So it's the same one Stone bungee jumped off.  It's the same one that Robin visits every time she's in town.  It's the same one that Ava fell off of when she was shot and presumed dead.  All of those times, there was water at the bottom.  

Now, Sam is pushed off of it...no water.  Rudge is pushed off of it...no water.  Julian is supposedly shot and fallen off of it, yet he's not at the bottom where Rudge is.  Yet there's a body of water close by, where they found Julian's jacket "on the shore".  So, did Julian wander away from the bridge to some river and fall in?  Or make it look like he fell in? 

I really want Jelly to answer these questions for me.  

[AuxArx]

I kept thinking Olivia was just ACTING scared so she could trick Carly and get away, but it didn't happen.  It sure wasn't the Liv we've been seeing for the last month or so. 

Carly said Morgan was "my baby"...isn't Joss younger?  Or are all children their parents' babies no matter the age?  My mother always kept us all separate--the youngest, the middle, #1, #2, etc.

[Aurora2]

Have Sonny and Carly stopped talking yet?

I was thinking the same thing, especially when Carly got distracted and Liv took off.  That's my story and I'm sticking with it.  

[P3pp3rb1rd]

Kiki and Dillon are so shameless. If they had been married, their deed would have been embarrassing enough. As casual bed partners, they were like incorrigible lustful teenagers. 

Maybe Port Charles has had a drought lately and the river/creek dried up some--it happened around here for a couple of years.

Carly is such a hypocrite. She and Sonny are such rude all-powerful creeps when they are holding guns. I realize that Liv has done a lot of wrong, but Carly especially went insane when she had a gun in her hand. Despite what she says, Carly never really suffers in the true meaning of the word. She's vicious and vindictive. Sonny saved the day [wretching] when he managed to get the gun away from her.

Didn't any of the public hear those gunshots in the cemetery and think of investigating?

What was so wrong, that they were having sex in the Q mansion? It's not as if they were naked in the hallway. I'm pretty sure Dillon's bedroom is in another part of the house.

I usually cannot stand to watch Sonny, but today was UCG day for me.  Tiny little Sonny being all tough with giant Rudge.  But it is not just that, MB is seriously a bad actor, meaning he cannot act.  He is always trying to do the tough guy thing from Scorsese movies and the Sopranos, but it is just laughable.

Carly, OTOH, today was very effective in her scenes with OJ.  I believed her and her grief and her rage.  I don't like Carly at all, but I think LW did a great job. 

Liv was hilarious with TW's overacting re the gunshot wound, as well.  Ouch, ouch!

HYSTERICAL !!

 It was not just the difference in sizes ( and we know Rudge could've pushed over Sonny with his pinkie) but the camera angles were weird. At one point it was as if a drone were filming it because it was hovering, making Sonny look especially minuscule compared to Rudge, while holding this MASSIVE gun on the dude. If this was supposed to be art it must be the Franco school of art.

Yes, Joss is younger. My brain interpreted it at Carly being one of those "boy moms" (you know, some women prize their sons above their daughters; not saying daughters should be prized above sons either, just acknowledging this is a thing).

I loved Monica's "judge" line. As to the Gilmore Girls reference, within the last month or so, they did a reunion series on Netflix (four 90 minute "movies," so I think this was GH's way of trying to remain current.

I like Laura Wright a lot. While Carly is horrible, Laura brings a lot to the role.... Usually. She was horrible these past few days, which really surprised me, because I can totally imagine Carly coming "this close" to killing Morgan's killer.

That would be a good comeuppance to their sinning in the Quartermaine mansion. Both of them are actually too stupid to be good parents, however. And I can't see Ava as a grandmother.

Prob because it is the same lines over and over and over for the past five months! My baby is gone, my sweet boy is gone, someone will pay for taking my poor sweet baby away. There is only so many ways LW can say them and it has gotten to the point where she has said same thing so many times that the words lose meaning.

One thing bothering me a lot is that they have a Morgan headstone IN A CEMETARY but there is no body!. So did they bury that empty casket they had at funeral that everyone put mementos in?. I do not know of any cemetary, especially a Catholic one, that lets you bury an empty casket.. Hell, its only been recent that you can bury ashes, and cemetaries close and lock the gates at night. But this is PC, I know, I know!

I am telling you guys...MB caught himself before dropping F bomb.. They opened show today with same scene and i rewound and laughed over and over....MB says to Rudge "you better figure it out" but he stops after word better and he starts to say F and then stops and spits out figure. I dont know why this amuses me so much. Maybe i would believe Sonny more as mobster if he dropped a few F bombs and they bleep it out. He does throw Bitch around a lot and did it again today.

I seem to remember She Who Shall Not Be Named having a near F-bomb moment too...oddly, in a Sonny scene.  

Before "business," below, she hovered over an "f" sound, I think. It obviously runs in the family. (God, I kind of liked her at that point. Nothing good ever lasts.) 

Quote

Sonny: Did he touch you?

Courtney: What?

Sonny: Did he touch you?

Courtney: Oh! Is that why you wanted me to see a doctor?

Sonny: Just answer me!

Courtney: No!

Sonny: No? No, he didn't touch you?

Courtney: No, it is none of your business!

Granted, I haven't watched in a year and a half so its possible I missed something but wasn't Monica dating that judge for awhile?  Do we know what happened to him or why they broke up? Regardless, good for Monica having a man.

[dubbel zout]

LW had a lot of dumb dialogue while she was holding a gun on Olivia, and I don't think anyone does that great a job with that sort of thing. Those scenes went on way too long. Pull the trigger or call the cops, but don't stand there for 15 minutes yapping about what you lost. Gah. 

Also, what a letdown that Olivia is simply arrested. Way to kill what tiny bit of momentum might have existed, Show. 

[Cheyanne11]

Dillon said he was watching Gilmore Girls as research for a Crimson article because Maxie told him to.  When did she get her job back?

Also, I was amusing myself by talking back to the screen today during the Carly/Liv/Sonny scenes.  When Sonny said "Carly, Morgan wouldn't want you to do this" I said "sure, he would.  He was a little asshole and would probably be yelling 'do it, Mom, do it' the entire time."

Also, Part 2, that bridge is a total fail as a killing place.

It was weird that Ashton signed a letter to his ex-wife "Lord Larry," and also strange that it got an ominous close-up when Tracey ripped it up. My wild speculation is that the LL is really code for Lucas Lorenzo.
