LexieLily January 12, 2018 Share January 12, 2018 (edited) Part of me understands it, that embryo (as far as she knew) was her last chance.

And thought Dante should be totally on board with that. That's disgusting. I totally agree. It never went as far as theory because the embryo wasn't viable, but what was Dante supposed to do about raising Lulu's daughter/son that was also the half-sibling of Lulu's brother? How was Lulu supposed to interact with Laura over the nine months of the presumed pregnancy knowing that she willingly close to carry a child that was fathered by the man that kidnapped and raped her mother?

Not even getting into what that would have done to Laura emotionally to see Lulu pregnant with Stavros' baby, if I recall Dante and even Kevin (!) were (nicely) squicked out about that aspect of it, too. But Stavros was dead (right?!) and Lulu I'm sure assumed she and Dante could raise the child and mitigate all the potential Cassadine evil-ness. It was totally OOC. The only way I could see Lulu desperately wanting to carry Stavros' baby is if Rocco were sick and she needed to have a baby to help him. I don't mind the media thing for Sam and Billy Miller, but it is kind of annoying if Billy Abbot ran a media thing on Y&R too. 3 Link to comment

Front definitely nixed business stories at ABCD. Ron had a really good business story going on at OLTL and he had to wrap it up really quickly (and badly) because of that.

dubbel zout January 12, 2018 Share January 12, 2018 Joss did look like a sister-wife, hee. For a semiformal dance, that dress wasn't formal enough, IMO. Oh, look at Lulu with all of her professional-journalist equipment! Condescension fully intended. I am greatly enjoying Joss giving Carly some teenage drama. If anyone deserves her life being made miserable by a teenager, it's Carly. Oscar needs to stop with the hangdog passive-aggressiveness. 10 Link to comment

And I'm not going to be appalled that Joss has condoms because being proactive about her sexual health is an incredibly important lesson for a girl her age to learn. Drew's line to Oscar about never discounting women or their abilities was simple and effective and makes perfect sense coming from Drew, a man who has always shown utmost respect to Sam and the other women in his life. That comment meant more to me than anything Carly had to say today. I have to say, I didn't hate Kim and Julian. It's actually refreshing seeing him away from the baggage of Julexis. Lots of heavy-handed editing today involving Peter (he mentioned family as Nathan slid in behind him, Spinelli said he knew more about Faison's foe as the scene switched to a close-up of Peter). But overall, I think Peter's integration and importance has been more subtle than GH usually goes for. 10 Link to comment

seasons January 12, 2018 Share January 12, 2018 (edited) That dress on Joss was perfectly fine to me. It wasn't too revealing or too short. And I'm pretty conservative. Perfectly appropriate for a high school semi formal. So Carly preaches to Joss about women but thinks she solves the problem by getting her a dress that I'm assuming is incredibly expensive? Way to empower her, dumbass. BM with Oscar today - I'm in love. Too bad many men don't realize that kind of behavior is so incredibly sexy. Lulu knows the phrase "the gild is off the lily"? No effing way. To me it sucks that the daughter of Luke and Laura is so incredibly annoying and an entitled brat. That character should be written/played in a much more dynamic way.

I get Carly not wanting Joss to be sexually active just yet, but it's not up to Carly, so Joss should be proactive. Maybe make sure Joss isn't going to use ELQ condoms no matter what, heh.

I guess Nelle saying she didn't get pregnant on purpose is as explicit as it got, right?)

statsgirl January 12, 2018 Share January 12, 2018 Lulu not being able to take back the story was such crap. Even if it's on the website, it can still be taken down, and it wasn't because Shady Aurora Boss hadn't given the go-ahead when Nathan called Lulu. He is so Faison's son. Also, has Nina never worked in the real world before? Of course her boss has power over Crimson's judgement. The Drew/Oscar scenes were nice but Drew should be finding out why Oscar is being bullied and get a non-violent solution. Oh, wait, I forgot what she I was watching. The custody stuff was HORRIBLE. What does Diane think, saying that Jason should have custody of Danny? Sure Diane, let's rip him from his mother and the only father he's ever known and his baby sister and give him to the mob enforcer who has zero child care arrangements and who leaves home when Sonny crooks his little finger for Jason to go out and risk his life. It's not hard -- make Sam the custodial parent and Jason gets whatever visits he wants. Sam also lost me completely today getting angry at Alexis and saying that if anything happened to her Jason would make the right decision with Danny. Has she met Michael? Or Morgan? Jason is in a high risk (and illegal) job that has a high probability of getting him killed and leaving Danny with no one. It seems that when ever Sam gets close to Jason, all her brain cells die. Idiots. 17 hours ago, dr. gailey said: Jasam didn't have a prenup so Sam could have taken Jason to the cleaners but she didn't. It is funny as hell that the woman that used to love money more than anything ends up paying for a new life with Jason's brother. I hope Diane takes her rooster ass over to visit the Q's and Michael next since everything Drew bought with Jason's money needs to be paid back and he bought ELQ back for the family or does that not count. Sam also needs her money back for Danny's medical bills. Any money Jason got from Edward's will, Drew should have got an equal amount. Logically any money used to support Sam and Danny should also have come from Jason's share since he would have been responsible for their support. 8 hours ago, Sake614 said: Because he was using the name Jason Morgan, so therefore everything belongs to Jason. Drew worked for Sonny for five (?) years. Whatever money Sonny gave him during that time for work that he did should belong to Drew regardless of whatever name he was using at the time. As should any increase in Jason's money beyond the basic bank interest rate that Drew created. 4 Link to comment

movingtargetgal January 13, 2018 Share January 13, 2018 Carly was so stupid to give Joss such a matronly dress to wear for the dance. There is no way that a teenage girl would want to wear that dress to a semi-formal dance it was more fitting to wear to church. The dress that Joss borrowed from her friend was, in my opinion, appropriate but too old for her. She is only 14 years old. Carly was right to find a compromise dress but did it need to be an expensive designer dress. Carly was so worried about other girls harassing Joss if she wore that black dress does she not realize her daughter could be hassled by her jealous classmates if she show up wearing a designer dress. God, high school is an emotional and social minefield. She would have been better off taking Joss to Wyndam's and finding a dress together. 4 Link to comment

Meh. Liz would do the same thing if we substituted “Jake” for “Danny.” It’s the curse of Steve Burton’s Jason. Even Robin was dragged away from a family holiday with her WHOLE FAMILY to basically kiss SB’s Jason’s ass and figuratively flip the bird to whoever BM is now playing. I’ve rooted against whoever Burton has been playing for at least fifteen years. I’m still rooting against Jason’s unrepentant, serial-killing ass and I so deeply resent that Robin has not been given ONE holiday with her entire family free of Jason’s rank murdering ass. Then again, I never understood how Robin fell in so easily with the likes of wannabe criminal Stone and disgusting Sonny when both of them stood against everything her thought-to-be-at-the-time dead parents stood for.
