Bensch's very audible berating of Scott was hilarious. 3 hours ago, Asp Burger said: Vernee is lovely. I really like all of Stella's scenes with Mike. This is the only story in which I find Stella bearable. She's great with Mike, she's quite good with Sonny (though I find him calling her "Miss Stella" uncomfortably patronizing, even though I'm sure it's not meant that way), and it has nothing to do with Curtis or Jordan. 6 Link to comment

LexieLily August 10, 2018 Share August 10, 2018 (edited) Shut up, Sonny. That is the entire point of an undercover mission, you dolt, of course Dante didn't tell you where he was going. Way to make it all about you as usual. Why is Chase being forced to grovel to Sonny and his underling? He was under no obligation to tell Sonny or Carly or Jason the specifics of Michael's stupid plan. Michael is an adult in full capacity of his faculties, such as they are. Michael was the one who thought it was a good idea to attempt to trap and coerce a psychotic woman that was also nine months pregnant into confessing about the murders she committed and it was Michael/Chase's idea to rig the car. Michael's damn lucky that he didn't die along with "Jonah." Chase doesn't have to apologize to Sonny or Jason for anything. He is the police. They aren't. End of story. Again with Kevin/Ryan (?) at Casa Corinthos. Why are the professionals apologizing to The Trinity for DOING THEIR JOBS? So it has been Ryan this whole time living in Port Charles. I only care when the swap was made, who did Laura marry, and is Laura even in France and are she and Spencer safe? Edited August 10, 2018 by LexieLily 14 Link to comment
RedRockRosie August 10, 2018 Share August 10, 2018 (edited) Maybe Drew was given some sort of suggestion during the mind-meld, erasing, mapping, whatever of his memories "procedure", to NOT to try to remember or recover his memories. That would explain why he seems so passive & unconcerned about digging into his own past. Makes a much sense as the rest of this nutzo story. Edited August 10, 2018 by RedRockRosie 7 Link to comment
Linny August 10, 2018 Share August 10, 2018 I could have done without the Franco rigmarole of the oops text and pulled fire alarm, but I did appreciate Ava setting up the pieces ("tell me all about what's been weighing on you so heavily, Griffin" and "you're a good person, Kiki") and waiting for Scotty to knock them down. New New Cam skews heavily to the mischievous side and needs to stop that weird thing with his mouth like he's fighting back laughter. What a bad day for Liz, getting dragged to the PCPD for the immature antics of her teenage son AND her overgrown man child fiancé. I want to be into the Kevin/Ryan stuff but it just seems too derivative of stuff we've seen 734 times before, but I'm going to try to reserve judgment for the moment and hope the show surprises me (doubtful, but Jon Lindstrom's performance might be enough to sway me). 2 Link to comment

dubbel zout August 10, 2018 Share August 10, 2018 LOL that Joss has to tell Cam that her grandma owns Kelly. Of course Sonny's criterion about moving Mike to a specialized facility is that Sonny's not ready, not that Mike needs care Sonny can't provide. And that care doesn't have to be all or nothing: There are often adult daycare–type programs so that caregivers can get some respite. (Not that Sonny has been doing any of the heavy lifting.) 26 minutes ago, LexieLily said: Why is Chase being forced to grovel to Sonny and his underling? Ugh, I know.

I'm shocked this Kiki storyline hasn't been about how upset he is that he wasn't able to protect her from Dr. Bensch or that the doctor works in one of the wings with Sonny's name on it possibly tainting his sacred name. I laughed out loud when they aired the commercial about Jason and Sam. "Relive the romance of super couple, Jason and Sam as GH pulls together 15 years o their greatest and unforgettable moments." They left off "because now they are interesting and steamy as a glass of skim milk." Oh, make no mistake, GH viewers. You absolutely WILL love Jason and Sam and ship them.

It doesn't really matter though, as I FF that entire storyline. I FF most of the show these days, stopping only to see Scorpio, laugh at Griffin trying to act, hate watch someone preposterously genuflecting to the holy trinity (did you hear Jason today giving the nod to Chase: "The FAMILY appreciates it."), and finally, I pop in to see how far they will push Peter August's oompa loompa coloring.

Way to support the larger cause, Ava. Ava's pain is much important because she wants to know the truth. Scott wanted to avoid the question, but she insisted on it. Either to make Griff lie on the stand or have tell the truth. Either way, she is playing a game where Bench could end up getting away with his bad behavior. Finally, Scott if you are going to sabotage Bench's case, at least pretend to be working on the case. He did not cross-examine a single witness except the nurse. They don't have to be good questions, but asked at least one. Bench should be more suspicious of Scott. 3 Link to comment

Ryan supposedly died in that fire in the 90s, didn't he? Are we to assume that he somehow survived that and has been in Ferncliff all this time but recently escaped and somehow imprisoned Kevin and took over his life? And if the Carly obsession is just a way to justify shoehorning the Unholy Trinity into this story at the expense of Felicia and Lucy or even Mac, no thank you.

His episode count is insane. I loved your thoughts on Drew’s personality and how it came out even before he got Jason’s memories. I guess we will know soon if Billy is leaving. 2 Link to comment
