 Also, I don't remember any quote like that where he ever mentioned Scully.

I do, and my viewing is both infrequent and sporadic. So, if I remember it the people who write this show should definitely remember it.

I do remember thinking it was a lot of hand-wringing for an accessory charge

I thought it was very very clear that Sonny had not done it.  I agree about the statement that of all the things that will bring him down, will be his prints on a gun where he didn't actually kill anyone.  

Based on that scene from April, the writers, at that time, we're making sure that Sonny wasn't the killer, that he only  disposed of the body and the gun.  So why blatantly change it now?

What was Cujo's problem today with Elizabeth?  Geez, talk about an overreaction to the mere suggestion (which happens to be true) that Joss was shoplifting. 

A big part was that it came from Franco, as well as anything Elizabeth-related triggers outsized reactions from Carly.

My guess is that maybe they didn't want to portray Sonny in too much of a negative light, fearing the audience would lose their attraction to the "heroic and noble" version of the character.

LOL. This would not be the straw that breaks that particular camel's back. Sonny has done a LOT worse.

No but we can believe that she's an unreasonable, arrogant, and unethical little shit for keeping Drew's memories from him, attempting to take advantage of an old man with Alzheimer's, violating courtroom etiquette during a trial, berating a 15 year old girl on the stand in that same trial, randomly harassing strangers for info on Sonny/Jason, and trying to pursue a case with a very clear conflict of interest.

And why do you think her characterization is like that?  So we know that the law enforcement official is BAD while the murdering mobster with the dimples is GOOD.

Given that Sonny and Mike himself have used Mike's Alzheimer's to their advantage, no one has the high ground here.

Not to mention using their daughter/sister's death as a punchline.  I mean we, the viewers, had zero regard for SWSNBN, but you'd think Mike would. 

[statsgirl]

LOL at Carly denying that she gets into fights in public straight off of a fight with Franco.  Carly, Sonny and Jason discuss his being a murdering mobster like it was a reasonable choice he made, like going into medicine instead of the priest hood.  And once again, no sympathy for a little girl who lost her father, this time from Carly. Out of that household, Mike really is the only one who has any kind of a moral compass.

Nice use of flashbacks to Jason and baby Michael.

"Jason, you know you want [a cookie]."  "No."  Jason really isn't human, is he? Who doesn't want a fresh giant chocolate chip cookie?

One of the writers seems familiar with cancer.  First Franco telling Drew "How can I help?" and now Drew telling Oscar that he and Kim will be there with him every step and they'll figure it out together.  I really like how they're doing this plot. 

"Oscar, finding out about you, getting to know you, has been one of the greatest gifts of my life."  That you can remember, Drew. Who knows what else is down there.

On the other hand, I am so over Stella's bitterness and holding on to a grudge.

Nina, there is such a thing as buying too clothes. It can help turn a nice little girl into a selfish, entitled shrew. And if you're wondering why Charlotte is worried you won't see her again, maybe you could remember the last time you broke up with Valentin and refused to visit Charlotte.

For once the show ended on the right note, Oscar in the elevator, instead of the usual Sonny/Carly/Jason.

If Sonny didn't kill the guy, why were his prints on the gun? Wouldn't he have had his own gun and it wasn't the one that killed Marino?  Serious question.

It all started when Franco made a snarky remark about Joss to Carly about the shoplifting. A lot of what Carly said was overblown, overreaction, but the comments that she made about Franco and his place in Liz's life and with the boys was on point.

It was snarky but true because Joss did shoplift with Cameron.  Carly can't stand that not everyone thinks the people in her family are perfect.

Maybe what she was about Franco's place in Liz's life if true, maybe not. But it's the kind of bitter cruel turning of the knife that healthy people avoid doing to others.

[AnswersWanted]

I am so confused by this show now, I can’t keep up with anything and I only recognize like 6 characters that I can remember watching back in 2004/2005 before I quit watching. 

What is up with the “Charmed” invasion?

Of course Finola was first on GH way before “Charmed” was a thing, but now I see two actors from that show, the one who played her grandson is now playing her son? And the guy playing her lover’s(?) father played her ex-husband on “Charmed” and was the grandfather to the same grandson character...???

I am truly at a loss with all of that. 

At least some things never change, Carly is still revolting and Jason is still robotic.  

It’s really in Steve’s best interest when they don’t show those old clips where he actually used to put in effort to act and emote and desired to give the impression that he wanted to be on the show and do a good job.

It still remains not a great comparison to the man who now just stands in place and looks around and seems either bored or constipated most of the time. 

Why is that kid, Oscar? I think, talking to Jason? I guess that means they know each other, but it’s pretty sketchy seeing a grown man on the docks alone, talking to a teenager that isn’t his. 

So Tamara is back but as a new character, her acting-style though is still...there. Okay. Good for her, I guess. 

I recognized the lady from Y&R but I have no idea what her deal is and the actress used it irk me on Y&R so I was bored during her scenes. 

When did Michael Cambias’ zombiefy and make his way from Pine Valley to Port Charles? And why is he wearing flannel?

He's Laura Wright's Boyfriend.

[Pingaponga]

Could someone please tell me why I continue to watch this show?

Carly referred to the body Sonny buried/killed and buried/whatever-we're-calling-it-this-week as a "mistake" Sonny made when he was 18.  Seriously?  Killing someone is not a "mistake" that gets forgiven after 30 years.  Neither is burying the body of someone that was murdered by someone else.  Both things are wrong, plain and simply, and an 18-year-old would know that. And what about all other other criminal things Sonny has done since then? Have those been "mistakes" as well?

And I'm just not invested in the Oscar-has-brain-cancer story.  I've never really had a problem with Oscar - he really is a lot like the kids Little Ponga is friends with - but I am just not invested in the character enough to care that he's dying.  And, quite frankly, I should be. Little Ponga is probably a year old than Oscar/Joss are.  I should be seeing this kid and thinking of my own kid and his friends. And I'm not.  I sobbed when BJ died and Maxie got her heart.  I felt like I was punched in the chest when Stone was diagnosed with AIDS/Robyn was diagnosed with HIV.  And I sobbed when Stone died.  If Oscar dies, I'm not going to be sobbing.  And, as I said, I should be - because I should be watching this story and seeing my kid and his friends. 

I really hope it does not turn out that Kiki is Nina's coma baby.  I want Kiki off my TV.  She has become way too sanctimonious and I just want her gone.  If Ryan is going to go all serial killer-y again, I nominate Kiki as victim #1.

[Linny]

The look Jason shot Carly over her fighting in public was legitimately funny, as was the refusal of the cookie (great, saves more cookies for those of us who aren't cold and uninviting). The "family" scenes with Jason and Carly/Michael/Sonny always ring authentic, and not just because of the show's ability to reach into the vault for an old clip. There's a chemistry there that feels natural, and though I'm bored with the play of "Saint Jason Figures It All Out," it makes perfect sense for him pick up the weirdness with Wiley.

Can you imagine what this show would be like if the other characters could hold a grudge as well as Stella? She is so staunchly set in her opinions it's unreal, and I do feel sorry for Jordan, but think of the possibilities if other people had a fraction of her resolve. Maybe fewer references to amazing father Sonny and utterances of the name A.J. in less disparaging terms. 

Hated Kim forcing a hug on Oscar when he was clearly inconsolable. She has dictated the last two years of his life by concealing this secret from him, she doesn't get to determine how he reacts now that he knows. 

[sas616]

Kim told Oscar that they came to PC because she found out he had relatives there.   I must be misremembering something because I don't know how she knew this.   She didn't know that Drew was related to the Q's until after she came to PC, right?  Because Drew didn't know he was related to the Q's until after he came to PC, right?  I'm so confused.

New Carly? I know her from GL mainly as Cassie. Hmmm...well that is interesting, heh, if not convenient. 

 I guess I just still find it weird they would pair him with Finola as Anna, considering their history on the other show, but I guess maybe that’s something that they actually wanted to touch on for those who watched “Charmed”? Who knows. 

“My mom’s my grandma”...sounds like the tag line for a “Jerry Springer” episode. 

Although...now that I am thinking about it, they did put Jane and Wally together to play mother and son after they had played lovers on Days way back when. That was definitely a choice, heh.

Michael Cambias is recast Julian Jerome on this show and he was retconned to be the guy who knocked Alexis up as a teen. He wears flannel because that's all the show can afford to clothe its actors in now.

Some people are destined for greatness, and Sonny was destined to be a mobster.  And Carly says that as if that is just another career choice.

Maybe this belongs in the unpopular opinions thread but I think GS did a good job today and yesterday. He may be young and green but at least he came to work and tried. His reaction fit the situation. TB and BM were terrible. Their performances were insultingly bad. Sure the writing is utter crap but show a little emotion!! Hello!!! You're son is dying. And he just found out about it. And that you lied to him. He's completely crushed. You should be hysterical and desperate that he's in such pain. 99.9% of their scenes are pointless rehashed conversations over beer or coffee. They finally have something to work with and we get...that? The Oscar story is already a mess. I hate it. I don't think it's soapy its just sad and depressing and pitifully executed.

Well that’s kinda the point isn’t it? Not saying it’s executed well but it is a major theme of the show: the moral ambiguities between both sides of the law. The world is not black and white, people labeled as criminals aren’t necessary bad and people who hold office or carry a badge aren’t necessary good. Please understand, by no means am I saying that Sonny/Jason are good people. I’m just saying can we honestly say that Margaux is a good person? Sure she’s a DA and she’s pursuing her father’s killer, that’s a noble cause but the way she goes about it is blatantly unethical and sometimes straight-up illegal. So I think it’s safe to say in this situation, no one is really on the side of the angels.

In her defence, she told Drew that daddy "took off" when she was two and didn't know him.  Dear old mom (you know they're casting her right now as speak.....Erica Slezak, Susan Lucci??!!) told Margo as she was growing up that daddy was just a normal lawyer, but as Margo got older and heard stuff, she figured he was possiby mob connected.  She didn't know for certain until his body turned up in the foundation of a pub.

Oh the good ol’ plastic surgery cover to excuse a way younger recast.

But I thought JJ was a mob guy? Now he’s a flannel loving barkeep? Guess I need to look up what they’ve done with him since bringing him back. Has he reached Lorenzo level yet? Meaning being totally owned by Sonny?

I don't think we've seen the last of Nelle unfortunately. FV likes the character too much. I think the only reason he didn't recast the role when CL left is he's hoping she comes crawling back after a year or two of rejection. Frank will write up some lame excuse for her behavior like D.I.D. and get her out of prison. "Nelle" will be the alter caused by her childhood trauma. She's really "Jan." Sweet, kind, and the girl next door. Then he'll have Michael fall unconvincingly in love with that incarnation while Carly seethes in the background.

I definitely remember Kim saying that she moved them to Port Charles because Oscar had relatives there.  I didn't know the Quartermaines did the 23AndMe thing but okay.

I think having people who are grey makes for a better soap opera.  Tracy id a lot of bad things looking for love, especially from her parents.  Monica couldn't stay faithful to Alan, and he had a problem staying faithful to her.  Luke was a rapist and a con artist. Even Robert and Anna did some pretty questionable things.

We don't know Margaux well yet but the worst thing she's done is hang on to the flashdrive instead of giving it to Drew.  Maybe she's planning on giving it to him later after she's used it to bring down Sonny, or maybe she's not, I don't know.  She's not purely good but no one on this show is, other than maybe Molly now that she's stopped yelling at Julian.  Certainly not Stella who can't move beyond hating Jordan for an affair 20 years earlier.

In contrast, the only good thing I can say about Sonny, Carly and Jason is that they are good to the small number of people that they love.  (Although I'm not that sure about Jason given how he treated Robin when she wanted to tell AJ that Michael was his son and he needs to be reminded that Jake and Danny are his kids and he needs to spend time with them.)  But on top of doing some pretty heinous things like murder, extortion and baby-snatching, they don't care about anyone else or how another person may be suffering.  Jason would be all too pleased to kill Julian, the grandfather of his child just for being in the position to accidentally find the body. Sonny and Carly have no fellings for Margaux losing her father at age 2.

So while Margaux may not be perfectly good (but then, neither is Farther Griffin), she's still a lot better than the mob group.

Same here. Why agree to meet with Jordan if she can't be remotely civil? All they do is rehash the same old crap. And Stella saying she's prayed endlessly about trying to forgive Jordan? Puh-leeze. She should have some sort of acceptance by now.

I had to laugh when Carly told Jason that boys are oblivious in relationships and she should know, she raised two of them. She basically admits she did nothing on that front to make it easier for their future girlfriends. Nice parenting, Carls!

Ugh, this Wiley story is yet another really gross one. Brad sucks for his "I'm just desperately trying to keep my family together, and clearly, you're not going to help us" guilt trip to Julian. Julian has done nothing but help, Brad. You're the dipshit who couldn't be honest in the first place about your baby dying of SIDS. Ugh.

I liked Oscar not giving an inch to Kim. What did she expect? That telling after his birthday would magically make it okay? Oscar would say, "I have cancer? Whatever, I turned 16. Whee!"

Tomorrow: Of course it's forking Jason that Oscar decides to confide in. Gah.

Jason, Carly and Sonny did not raise Michael and Morgan, they hired people to do it for them.  There is nothing wrong with having a nanny, babysitter or daycare look after your children, especially if you work outside of the home.  Carly's kids were handed off to Leticia while she was off doing other things.  Michael once talked about being brought to and from school by Max.  Carly did the fun stuff with her kids but she never really did the day to day hard stuff.   Michael turned out to be a fairly decent person because of his Quatermaine DNA.  Morgan was a disaster because of his Corinthos DNA.  Jason, Carly and Sonny are all horrible parents.

So does Oscar have glioblastoma? Because that’s the only brain cancer I know of where prognosis isn’t good and two years is the max one survives once diagnosed. I know this from experience-a good friend’s niece was diagnosed and she was THREE. And multiple surgeries, and other treatments didn’t work. Plus Beau Biden, Ted Kennedy, and John McCain. That could explain Kim’s defeatist attitude. Or are they going with TUMAH!???
