Why did they have Anna cut her hand?

I blame Jason (and Sonny, because I can).  When Anna was in the basement of the hospital, fighting off Liv, she cut her hand.  This meant she would bleed since she's on blood thinners, rendering her too weak to fight off Liv and save Robin from the bomb.  Enter Super Jasus, the hero of all heroes to save the day.  

Then we have Anna slap the table with the hand, while she's arguing with Valentin to get it to start bleeding again, so he can notice and be all wooby concerned.  Did anyone notice that she used the opposite hand?  The table was on her right side, the left hand is the injured one, yet rather than slap the table with her right hand, she reached over and slapped it with her left hand.  It looked so awkward.  Also, she wrapped a yellow scarf type thing around the hand whn she told Valentin that she had cancer, but when Dr O shows up moments later, the scarf is no longer wrapped around the hand.  

 Edge of your seat writing right there.

In other news...

*small voice* Even though Anna asking Dr. O for help is beyond stupid, I'm kinda looking forward to FH and KG sharing scenes tomorrow. *small voice*

Today will be a happy day at Haus Nutmeg with a Dr. O/Anna teamup. Seeing Liesl kicked Faison to the curb, I can see one more thing for them to find in common. Let's see if they will use Liesl's work with the LoD to good use.

Oh, Bobbie, you dun goofed. Nina was all set to discard Nelle in order to keep her away from Valentin, and you had to play the Lulu Card. If it pisses Lulu off, Nina will do it.

 

The Anvils that hit about Carly being forgiven because she's family/daughter is  keeping up hope that Michael and Nelle are siblings/twins. Nelle working as an mole-Spencer to get Charlotte away from Valentin would lead to her redemption (if Franco can get a hero's parade, she can get one). It would also be an interesting spin to the Spencer-Cassadine Wars.

Is his stupid dead wife WE NEVER CARED about gonna show up next?

I still like the idea she was never dead from the disease, but he was addicted and she just dumped his ass.

Nelle doesn't have an exclusive on a one-sided story written from the winners (or Pets).

I'm just looking forward to seeing Dr. O doing something closer to her early days, because all she does now is fawn over Franco and that is waste of Kathleen Gati's talents.

Random: this show has so stuck Lulu with the same people for 2 second scenes that I am actually look forward to a scene between her and freaking Dillon. I'm sure they'll talk about Charlotte, but they might talk about Kiki too!* Maybe even - gasp - Tracy, who knows?

* Yes, a scene where Dillon and Lulu might talk about *Kiki* is making me take note. I know.

Yeah, they haven't shared a scene in a looong ass time.  Was there actually a scene of them making on-camera peace for his role in exposing Dante and Valerie's ONS?

Besides this and my already expressed interest in the Anna/Dr. O scenes, I'm also looking forward to Laura/Kevin (though she seems to be gearing up to be cranky with him, shut up Laura), Nora, and Olivia J. (who I'm guessing is being visited by Griffin and his SOUL FLU).  So yea, bring it on, Show.

It's about the stupid custody case, of course. Stop trying to drag Kevin into it, Laura.

The writers probably forgot how old she is, and clearly no one has any idea what level she should be reading at. I mean, spelling "cat" and "car" is more like kindergarten. I'm not a teacher, nor do I have kids, and I know this. Oof.

[Sake614]

Nelle said something yesterday about working with young children, particularly kindergarteners. And also something about gearing up for school. So I guess we're supposed to believe Charlotte is not even 5 yet, even though the kid is clearly about 10.

The conflict of Charlotte's age - being age appropriate for when the embryo was created vs. being old enough to fool Nathan and Griffin into thinking she could be theirs - will never not bug me.

Laura keeps trying to get him to have a personal opinion when his professional opinion at the moment presumably doesn't agree with hers and Lulu's. 

Just now, TeeVee329 said:

This. The embryo was created three years ago (when Rocco was already alive) and to pass Charlotte off as Nathan or Griffin's she had to be ten. Now she seems to be seven or eight and Rocco has somehow become her younger brother. It's so dumb.

[Oracle42]

That's why I'm still holding onto the hope that Charlotte isn't her child and she'll just get to walk away from that whole horrible group

[ulkis]

I will accept Lulu having a breakdown if she shoots Nelle and Nina dead. She can shoot Valentin, but he can go into a coma, and wake up as someone who doesn't get snivelly cause Anna was mean to him at WSB High.

Lulu would be shown as the "loser" vs Valentin's "win" in that scenario, but if she doesn't have to deal with any of them anymore it's a total win.

I do not want Lulu to have a breakdown for any reason, but she can still shot Nelle and Nina dead.

WSB High

If Sabrina were still around, I'd write another diary entry for her. 

[IWantCandy71]

Why should Lulu have a problem with Nelle? She may dislike that Nelle slept with a married man because of what happened between Dante and Valerie. But Carly and Lulu haven't been shown as being close, for ages, and it isn't as if Carly is all that loyal to either Dante or Lulu. 

 

I don't care what Nelle did-nothing she has done so far, is anything worse than what Bobbie did back in her days as (to borrow a Tracy Q phrase) the town pump. And until Nelle tricks her FRIEND by pouring alcohol all over him and declaring that he's not a fit parent, she's still a better person than Carly. I don't expect Carly or Bobbie to forgive her-Bobbie is the world's biggest hypocrite-always has been-she learned well from Madame Ruby. And Carly holds grudges almost as well as her husband. But for them to act as if they are in any way better, is unintentional comedy.  I also think Nina tends to act like people are out of line for judging her, but Nina's one fry short of a happy meal. Bobbie and Carly have no such excuse. I realize the writing may be slanted in that way to make me root for Nelle. It won't work, because I never hated Nelle in the first place. I just think she's irrelevant. Though I suppose Michael needs a love interest, but show needs to cut a big chunk of cast fat, first.

Lulu probably doesn't even know Nelle, LOL. But if Lulu is going to shoot Nina (as some of us wish), she can also shoot people in the vicinity: Nelle. (Poor Chloe Lanier; I wonder if she feels she was sold a bill of goods, or if she's just grateful for a steady paycheck.)

[IWantCandy71]

If she's smart, it's a little of both. Yay to being able to buy Little Debbie Snack Cakes. Boo to feeling ashamed at what you had to do to get them.

[Linny]

I'm choosing to ignore Laura and Lulu, because I've reached my threshold for tolerating their whining and moaning. I did appreciate Kevin and Dillon speaking reason, but their good advice is going to go in one ear and out the other with Laura and Lulu, so whatever.

"I know I'm the town pariah, but I've got to stay and make things right." Don't sweat it, Nelle. The last town pariah is now the cuddly neighborhood serial killer, so there's hope for you, too.

Moment of the episode: Nora's wavering smile as Liv's five hundred charges were read.

Liv and Valentin? Okay? This is going to be stupid, isn't it. Especially with all the anvils about Griffin's mother.

[TeeVee329]

Nelle already wants to make amends...that's some scheming bad girl you got there, Show.  And if she is so eager to make amends, why is she still keeping quiet about what actually happened with her and Sonny?

...why is Nora Olivia J.'s lawyer?  I mean, I know why, so they could be wink-y about Hilary B. Smith and Tonja Walker sharing a scene, but...why, and how, would an out-of-state lawyer be put on this case?  ETA...wait, she was bribed by Valentin?  The fuck?

Britt mention!

CL is not in the dumbest story on the canvas. And at least she's not dressing in drag pretending to be a butler. So there's that. But to go from the anniversary ep, which had some genuine emotion and meaning, to the dreck she's in now has to be discouraging from a creative standpoint.

She doesn't look anywhere near 10 to me.  Given the actress is 7, I'd say that's supposed to be Charlotte's age, too.

imo admitting she set up Sonny makes her looks worse than an impulsive one night stand.

It would be one thing if Sonny had been so drunk all Nelle had to do was tell him they slept together. But she drugged him. That's really bad.

[Oracle42]

Welp, ulkis has convinced me that she's AJ's daughter, so I've decided she's planning to keep that a secret so they don't know how much more devious she is. It also gives her an excuse not to sleep with her brother

Valentin: if you mess up, they'll never find your body.

Don't tease, Valentin.

Oh, Griffin is still on the show.

This is ridiculous. Anna should be courteous and telling O she's desperate, she should be kicking O in the face and telling her to call Faison or she'll get another knuckle sandwich from Anna.

Michael: if I see you, I won't turn away from you.

Oh, the tension. The passion. Of two people who were supposedly falling in love and then one betrays the other. I'm really feeling the rage and sparks.

I had to laugh at the expression on Nora's face as the list grew, especially by the time the judge got to: "315 counts of attempted murder (on everyone who was still in the hospital with the bomb)"

Line of the day:

Valentin to Nelle:  I adore my daugther so if anything happens to her, they'll never find your body.  

Nelle's expression:  I think I just peed my pants

So is Robin back in CA?  Maybe I missed the mention through my fast forwarding. And I just cringed watching Anna asking for Dr. O's assistance in ANYTHING. I mean, Dr. O assisted in Robin's torturous captivity and stabbed Robert into a coma.  I mean c'mon writers! FH & KG are interesting to watch together but never in this scenario.

Dr. O should have been a short term character with her fierce hats, BSC love for Faison and distaste of Britt.  I don't care about Dr. O and block of wood Nathan.

Ya'll know a retcon is coming when it pertains to Griffin's mother and I bet Anna will end up as the mother.  Sheesh.

The time for that would have been when she first showed up. And I would have loved seeing Anna's head explode when she discovered that her special kitty had had an affair with OJ.

As to who is mother really is . . . which female star of an appropriate age is no longer on another soap?

I can not fucking believe they are going to make Anna Griffin's mom. Just, why? WHY? In a long line of terrible and stupid decisions that one ranks quite high.

I loved every minute of every scene with Liv. Whatever, she entertains the hell outta me. And against my better judgement I'm intrigued by the Valentin connection. I'm sure when we find out more about it it will be 2 years from now and stupid, so I won't care anymore, but still!

I liked the Lulu/Dillon and Laura/Kevin scenes even though the content was horrible.

I don't want a breakdown story simply because it's only the wimmins and their fragile lady brains who are unable to handle the harder parts of life. And they don't get the excuse of bipolarity. No, they're just crazy. Ugh.

[LexieLily]

Kevin was rightly not allowed to evaluate Charlotte or provide testimony because Valentin shot him and also because of his personal relationship with Laura and thus Lulu, but it's fine for him to testify at a competency hearing for Olivia Jerome when one of OJ's many, many crimes was ordering one of her minions to drug and kidnap Laura?
