statsgirl July 17, 2018 Share July 17, 2018 Jake thanked Drew for coming to the game and Drew replied something like "you call, I come." I got the feeling that the Franco/ Jake/Jason and Drew/Jake/Jason scenes were the writers throwing some subtle shade at Jason. Even in their scenes alone Jake had to be the one to ask questions and Jason didn't even know Jake was talking about a baseball player. 7 Link to comment

testardo July 17, 2018 Share July 17, 2018 The best part was. Np S&C . Love that the kid doesn't care if Jason shows up or not.. liked Maxie woke up, and realized Valentine gave a baby to a lunatic, to get even with its mother ? peter gave it to the other loon, and told her she was at fault for Nathans death. This show They are making the victims the bad guys. I can't wait for nelle to wake up, have her kid give it to Brad, and Michael can go find his brain. Sonny killed your father, plus while A J was in a hospital bed he kept threatening him. .Michael was sorry for taking the child. Not as sorry as he will be when they decide he shouldn.t have his. Will Bobbie jump off her high horse when Lucas and brad have to give Michael his kid back. We know its coming Go Nelle. Love her. She is the first one to best Sonny and carley at their own game.

Soaps are just so....different now. And it’s more than the idea that there’s so many more options in 2018 with regards to TV, cable, Netflix, Hulu, etc. I don’t know if it’s because soaps’ place in entertainment has come and gone or the actors/writers no longer have the passion for it, but think about how we viewed characters and pairings in the past and what they brought to the screen. It’s an unbelievable difference. And social media has had such a negative impact on the genre, as well.

Sam stating that Liesl shouldn't take the law into her own hands and not have Sam's nose grow a couple of inches was pretty fun to watch.

dubbel zout July 17, 2018 Share July 17, 2018 LOL that Nina thinks an editor in chief has a say in where the ads go. She can suggest placement, but the client pays for a specific spot. Also, copy editors have absolutely nothing to do with the placement of ads. It's a totally different department! Jordan, the DA is your ally, not your enemy. Ugh. This fakakta show. I love that all the other men in Jake's life are people Jason hates. And how pathetic he can barely choke out that both he and Drew love Jake. "What happens with Sam isn't up to me." No, because it's a lot easier to let someone else to all the emotional work. And of course Jason has no idea what his son is interested in, so his misunderstanding is par for the course. 6 Link to comment

He's got an okay ex-relationship with Liz but he never chose to spend time with her even before she took up with Franco. And he has no relationship with any of his Quartermaine relatives. There's really no reason for Jason to dislike Drew other than the fact that Drew has the ability to make human connections in a way that Jason can't. Drew is no longer a threat to his relationship with Sam or Danny and he can bond with Jake any time he can work up the interest to spend time with him. 5 hours ago, HeatLifer said: Soaps are just so....different now.

Asp Burger July 18, 2018 Share July 18, 2018 Maybe "infectuous" is a combination of "infectious" and "incestuous." So many people in that town are sleeping with people who are practically their relatives. It wouldn't surprise me if they had a whole department to treat diseases specific to it. I sure wasn't going to rewind to make sure I was right, but didn't Drew and Jason switch sides in the scenes with Jake? Drew entered from our right, and the kid was in the middle. Then the next time we resumed with that scene, they were blocked the opposite way. The kid who plays Jake is above average for a child actor of that age. 1 Link to comment

Linny July 18, 2018 Share July 18, 2018 Fuck you, Jason, for being amenable to murdering your son's grandfather with no provocation other than it's Sonny's will. He knows nothing about Julian other than that Sonny and Sam hate him (but I doubt Sam wants him killed), but just as Jason turned his back on Ava at Sonny and Carly's behest, he's willing to take out Julian without any hesitation or independent thought. He isn't a man, he's a sock puppet. Also, Julian isn't even doing anything wrong here other than making Sonny's attempts to evade justice difficult for him, so the whole premise of murdering him to prevent him from uncovering a decades-old murder is just too asinine for words. Sorry that concealing your crimes is such a headache, Sonny, but tough shit. 22 Link to comment
