dubbel zout October 3, 2017 Share October 3, 2017 (edited) Yeah, if they want me to be interested in Nelle, she has to be doing stuff to people on the show. They're spending way too much time on her past. We never met Zach/k, the sister and the ring are plot points. Either have Nelle actually guilty of killing Zach/k for some reason or resolve this and move on. And really, Michael doesn't have the moral high ground when it comes to homicide. I don't think anyone in Port Charles does. Edited October 3, 2017 by dubbel zout 6 Link to comment

NutmegsDad October 3, 2017 Share October 3, 2017 The Ava-Blaming Scapegoating is reaching new heights. Jason6 lifted the paperclip from Evil Doctor, but because Ava was there to pick up the oopsie clip, Evil Doctor was able to find the Ava Breadcrumb, and of course, it's her fault Jason6 escaped! Occam's Razor and all! (Can I borrow Occam's Razor to slit my wrists over this plotline?) On the plusside, it's nice to see a 90's icon get work: "Hi. Would you like to escape from your shackles today?" 38 minutes ago, dubbel zout said: 10 hours ago, stlbf said: Breakup can be a bit if a murky issue. But the fact is this: Zach died.

If my brother was killed, and my grandmother's ring was given to someone we framed, er, a woman we hated, I would take steps to get it back. Nelle: You would actually sue me for it? Michael: Well, I wouldn't do that first, I'd ask, and then, yeah, I would get my lawyers, and, failing that, I would find my fathers will, giving me claim to the ring, holding her hostage, forcing her to sign over the ring at gunpoint before shooting her to death, then exchanging the testimony of the only witness for life-altering surgery.... Nelle: Wait, what? Michael (holds up script): We got the pages mixed up again! Nina (enters, reads scripts): Mine, mine, mine.... yeah, that sounds like my lines.... 13 Link to comment

More of the same on this show. Sonny is the best ever. Sam cries. Carly gets in someone else's business. Nina is annoying. Ass Man Landers continues to make no sense. Val is bad. No he's good. No he's bad again. Kiki is forgettable. Kristina grosses me out. Franco is annoying. Jason is annoying. Franco and Jason battle to see who gets on my nerves more in their scene.

amaranta October 3, 2017 Share October 3, 2017 No Sonny. Yay! I liked Ava's earrings. And now I'm at least wondering whether Bench is supposed to be a good guy or a bad guy.

sunnyface October 3, 2017 Share October 3, 2017 (edited) Quote Dear lord. This Jason crap is even worse than I feared. It's one thing to resurrect a character whose last major plot line involved seriously debating whether or not to ditch his new pregnant wife because the kid might have been a product of a rape and as a bonus - to resurrect the rapist. BM's Jason hasn't done anything rotten except for killing and hurting people that almighty Sonny judges as deserving such punishment. It's another thing to have to watch Sonny and Carly in the same episode. As long as Sonny and Carly aren't in the same episode as the Jasons and Franco then my mind can attempt to put on the back burner FV/writers' attempts to make these horrific characters palatable by displaying a tinge of remorse.

Linny October 3, 2017 Share October 3, 2017 Nina and Valentin's endless cycle of fucking and rhapsodizing about their relationship is high on my list of things I could eliminate from this show without a second thought. Please GOD give them something else to do. The chairs on Cassandra's terrace were identical to the ones at the cafe. Must only be one interior decorator in all of Monaco. I'm glad Finn messed up Anna's attempt at espionage, that's what she gets for lying to him and roping him into this harebrained scheme. He should leave her ass to do this alone, regardless of the blackmail threat, because she's being insufferable. I like Griffin and Ava but it would have been nice to see Ava save herself without the help of her dashing prince charming. It's boring and predictable that this tale of two Jasons is going to result in Sam having to choose between Original Recipe Jason and Gluten Free Jason. I'd rather know more about Drew's history and what happened to him after he left Betsy and Franco, but I have a feeling those details are going to be vague and unsatisfactory so we can focus on the love triangle. 5 Link to comment

Ladyrain October 3, 2017 Share October 3, 2017 I never cared for SB as an actor, and for the last few years he was on GH he seemed to be phoning it in. I wasn't sorry when he left. However - I have to admit that I'm glad to see him back! For starters, I never cared for Billy Miller in that role. Even with the supposed plastic surgery, I didn't detect any physical resemblance to Jason. Even the shape of their heads is different. I could never buy into that story line. And then his personality was waaay to sunny to be Stone Cold. Now we know why that is, but for several years there I just couldn't reconcile BM and Jason Morgan. So, I'll give SB another chance to show some real acting chops. I've never seen him on any other show, so maybe he really can act. Do I have reason to hope??? 1 Link to comment

She let the non-psychotic Patient 5 go so why wouldn't he boot her out of the clinic as soon as he could? Obviously BM's Jason is not the real Jason. He wants to get out of the mob to protect his family. Even Sam told him it's not necessary. The "expensive" jewelry on this show is really subpar. Nina's necklace was nice but something I would get my sister-in-law for Christmas. And unlike Valentin's millions, I'm on a tight budget. Nelle: I want to keep the ring because it's all I have left of my fiance. (Me: You had a rich fiance and the only thing he gave you in all the time you know him was the engagement ring?
