I think there was supposed to be more to Drew being against Sonny but somehow that never played out, other than Drew trying to distance himself from Sonny, though that didn't decimate him as much as it should have.

It didn't work for us, either, and we tried it for years. We encourage you to try another approach and look forward to your success in this area.

Ladyrain January 25, 2018 Share January 25, 2018 (edited) When Faison was standing over Leisl, having their little tete-a-tete, LuLu was behind him, near the door. She could have grabbed one the ?reins/bridles? hanging on the wall right there and thrown it around his neck and pulled for all she was worth; then when he fell, Leisl (still tied up) could have kicked him in the balls. Or LuLu and Leisl could stack stuff on top of other stuff to reach one of those high windows to break out. Or they could knock on walls to find a secret passage. Because we know they will find one. From way back when, I fantasized about living in a cool place like Port Charles, with secret passageways and catacombs and foggy docks. I'm probably in a minority but the fantasical element is what I've enjoyed most about GH. Except for Casey the Alien, of course. That was one toke over the line.

GHScorpiosRule January 25, 2018 Author Share January 25, 2018 Man, I had to laugh when I saw that "board" that Nathan and Dante had set up--that is, the show pulled out a picture of Burton back from when he had longish hair--that period was either when Robin was still on, or right around the time Emily was killed off. I can't believe they didn't have any stock photos of Jason from five years ago. And Finola is such a good actress. And unless I missed something, I don't understand why she hasn't killed Faison outright yet--why there is still fear when she talks about him. If I recall correctly, it was Robert who convinced her not to kill him, but to put him in that pit? And I remain confused and have rage black outs that Anna hasn't killed Obrecht--because she tortured Robin. Just for that alone, she should have drop-kicked and killed her ass. And why is she even talking to Mooby and Borg? Mooby's got no business being involved in the Faison plot, and no, Mooby, Faison didn't "take" Robin from you, because she had already CUT OFF HER TIES with you when she was kidnapped. Stupid new show runners had her forgive your mooby ass when she returned. She can make a phone call to have those two, taken care of*; that is, prevent them from doing anything. Anna is a GOD DAMNED WSB SPY. The only help she needs is from Robert!Fucking!Scorpio! at times; but otherwise, she can do every damn thing herself! *And I also want a horsie. 5 Link to comment

statsgirl January 25, 2018 Share January 25, 2018 I'm loving the return of Faison and the writing for it. When he said to Peter "I'm here because of you" I felt sure they were going to admit to Peter being Henrik but they swerved into it being because he gave the go ahead for Lulu article to be published. I want everyone to take a turn saying "I told you so" to Lulu. Kevin's theory about physical damage and the tendency to murder -- "I'm not psychiatrist, I just play one on TV." Also shouldn't he be looking at his own identical twin first? And that's nt how submissions for psychiatric conferences work. I guess I should be glad that the show is doing a medical story rather than a mob one. Speaking of which, Kiki's light speed entry into medical school continues. A good MCAT doesn't get you into medical school, it just prevents you from being turned down (husband on the admissions board for grad school). Marks are far more important, I hope TJ gets in too and we see them both working at the hospital, although logically they should both be too busy studying to hang around GH no matter how "hands on" the program is. 3 Link to comment

Linny January 25, 2018 Share January 25, 2018 So Kevin's wife gets punted off screen and he's now tasked with helping Franco feel better about his terrible self? I hate this show. I want to beat my head against a wall every time we see Ava walk in on Kiki and Griffin embracing. Enough. Either commence with another gross triangle involving a mother and daughter or cut it the fuck out. Anna and Faison's scenes were so good and on a completely different plane from the rest of the show. Faison's transition from screaming threats at Anna to expressing tender concern for her was flawless, and Anders Hove deserves a tremendous amount of credit for making that duality work. He gives so much nuance to Faison's twisted obsession for Anna; it's a sick love wrapped in mania and a fetishistic desire to claim her as his own. FH was also excellent today at conveying Anna's resigned dread that her life will never be free from Faison's shadow. She's disgusted by him yet seems to view him as an inevitability, it's such a complicated and powerful dynamic. 4 Link to comment
