Linny July 9, 2018 Share July 9, 2018 So on the one hand, Liesl is painted as the "scary villain" for holding Peter captive, and on the other hand we have Sonny and Jason, our male protagonists, scrambling to dig up a dead body before anyone can pin Sonny for murder, and that behavior is totally a-okay. That's some nice cognitive dissonance you're working, GH. I will admit to laughing that Wyatt ran to Franco for help, because Franco and hostage situations go together like peanut butter and jelly. And I've always found Finn and Liesl's mutual loathing to be stupid and unnecessary, but if that's what it takes for Finn to investigate Wyatt's story, then so be it. Anything to get Peter off that fucking bed. 11 Link to comment

sunnyface July 9, 2018 Share July 9, 2018 Quote See, as someone who never watched OLTL, to me, these scenes are just a very bad kid actor, and stupid Franco being involved in yet another story. It's so hard to get past Franco being a sexual predator and serial killer but it was nice to see camaraderie at GH and in a scene that involves a boy scout, infectious disease doc, and serial killer. The only solution to Franco is for him to have an unidentified identical twin that happened to go to med school and somehow he's the real Stephen Larrs. Since there are scenes at Fernecliff that involve a felon named Corinthos that will never pay for her crimes, now would be a great time for Heather Webber to make an appearance or two and make good use of the facility. Today's episode actually moved the plots down the road a bit and ME and RoHo looked to be enjoying themselves (which is a rarity these days). But pet MS, who had a whole family created for her (Nathan, Liesl, a waste of Maxie, Valentine, and Carly's boyfriend) just didn't nail her dialogues with Maxie, Scout, Liesl, and Carly's boyfriend. Why they didn't have Roho and MS's characters become doctors on a show called General Hospital is beyond me as it would have prevented the years of drudgery of trying (and failing) to fit two unique characters into the fabric of Port Charles. 2 Link to comment
dubbel zout July 9, 2018 Share July 9, 2018 I wish Nelle were suspicious about Michael wanting to get married right away. Shouldn't Scott be disqualified from being Bensch's attorney because of his earlier work for Ava? You'd think Bensch would want that even if legally/ethically it's okay.

The "I'm worried that Michael is marrying Nelle" line was a strange delivery from SBu because he emphasized 'Nelle' rather than 'marrying'. Who else is Michael going to marry? The best part was Obrecht talking about using kinky sex to get over her son's death and Franco getting nauseous.

Linny July 10, 2018 Share July 10, 2018 It's bad for my blood pressure to think about Jason's total lack of response to Sonny's admission of murdering AJ, so I'm gonna slide right past that to focus on how disconcerted he was by the news that Michael is partnering with the PCPD to take down Nelle. Anyone else would probably be comforted knowing Michael has the police on his side, but since Jason wouldn't give a cop the time without Diane present, he is naturally suspicious and worried that Michael's making a mistake. Carly admitting that putting on a phony display for Nelle was the "first time she felt like herself in months" is basically her acknowledging that she is thoroughly manipulative and disingenuous. And worse than that acknowledgement is her taking PRIDE in her awfulness and wearing it like a badge of honor. My poor Chase, stuck ludicrously professing his love to Nelle. She should really be more suspicious of both Chase and Michael's behavior. She may not be the most adept schemer, but she should be smart enough to recognize the weirdness both men are exuding. 16 Link to comment
statsgirl July 10, 2018 Share July 10, 2018 Carly talking about how she always wins and Morgan's death was the first time she's really lost felt strange since her early years on the show were about Poor Carly and how bad her life had been since Bobbie gave her away. 1 hour ago, Perkie said: What a weird conversation that was.

CharethCutestory July 10, 2018 Share July 10, 2018 (edited) Jason hears Sonny killed AJ in cold blood and predictably, he blinks and stares because he's hopeless. Not that the PCPD is any great shakes, but Michael working with them in what passes in this show as a legit sting, would comfort any normal person. But this is Jason. How dare law enforcement infringe on his and greasy's illegal escapades. Inevitably the police will do something wrong and the mobsters will swoop in to save the day. Up is down. Right is wrong. Criminals are heroes. This wannabe Sopranos bullshit should've ended ten plus years ago. Once again Sam had to remind Jason of HIS OWN CHILDREN. Yeah run right into the arms of that guy, Sam. Jason was then big enough to include them in the "I'd do anything to protect my kids" bit. No you wouldn't. You haven't. Unless its Michael or Carly/Carly's spawn, you don't do shit for anybody. Even then you don't do the one thing you should do which is not be a criminal. The ultimate karma I want to see play out for Jason is for either Jake or Danny to have the same type of injury he did. Then they can wake up, detest Jason, everything he stands for, reject his love and treat him like complete shit until the day he dies. They can still love their mothers though. They've been through enough. Edited July 10, 2018 by CharethCutestory 15 Link to comment
