statsgirl October 10, 2018 Share October 10, 2018 (edited) Spoiler nothing to see here Jason's brilliant plan for get Margaux off Sonny's back is to slime her father so that she realizes he's not a good person and backs off. It doesn't work with Sonny or Carly or Jason himself, why would it work with Margaux? Finn needs to grow the hell up. He's still mad at his father for remarrying after his wife's death? What is Finn, 5? I liked the Lyme disease PSA though, more useful than the Anna blood cancer one. I really don't understand why Kim isn't giving Oscar time to process everything before putting him in the cancer trial. And why no one is talking about the odds of it helping him. It's just really bad parenting/medicine. Just how often do Sonny and Carly visit Morgan's grave anyway? I never see them there unless it's a plot point. Margaux burying her father close to Morgan's grave so that Sonny and Carly are reminded of Sonny killing him every time they visit Morgan made me laugh. It's called poetic justice in literature, and natural consequences in psychology. Edited October 10, 2018 by statsgirl 7 Link to comment

dubbel zout October 10, 2018 Share October 10, 2018 I really hope Drew tells Margaux to shove it with the "help me put Sonny away" crap. Drew's memories have nothing to do with her father's death anyway, and if that's what she wants to pin on Sonny, she has to figure out another way to do it. Which of course even if she does it won't stick, so what's the point? She should just get by a thousand little cuts, as it were—traffic tickets, health code violations, etc. Make them all legit so Diane can't claim harassment, and drive Carly bananas as a nice bonus. 5 Link to comment

For me, this is just dumb soapy melodrama amongst all the heavy stuff going on. Plus, the Oscar/Drew and Nina/Sasha stuff doesn't really count for me, since it was revealed pretty much immediately and not really treated as some big mystery.

ulkis October 10, 2018 Share October 10, 2018 I can't watch anything in these park scenes cause the cheap camera they use in them is so distracting. It doesn't help when you use two stilted actors like WDV and GS, especially when a scene starts with Julian in tight shorts stretching his legs. It looked like an infomercial for some exercise machine was about to start (cue to Julian starting to jog and immediately slipping on nothing: "are you tired of jogging on dangerous, uneven terrain? Try the sprinterfx1000!"). 1 Link to comment
Linny October 10, 2018 Share October 10, 2018 It's super shitty of Oscar to spend what he believes are his final days being deliberately cruel to Joss. I really hate this idea that she's too delicate to handle a dying boyfriend, but it's fine and dandy to stomp all over her feelings so that her last memories of Oscar are negative. It's such a contrived way to create friction between them, when the fact that he's dying provides enough angst on its own. The show is certainly insinuating heavily that there's a sordid past between Finn and his stepmother, and yeah, it probably involves Chase's paternity, but I don't think it's necessary on a show that's already bloated with parental switcheroos. Chase and Finn have never had a brotherly relationship, so he won't be losing that bond if Finn is actually his father. If anything, Chase would gain an answer for why Finn has always held him at a distance. "So he was a willing participant in the business, and he liked the cash. He wasn't just some innocent guy who was in over his head trying to get out." Too bad no one offered this kind of sensitive consolation to Sam when everyone believed you had fucked off to the great beyond, Jason, you enormous asshole. 9 Link to comment

movingtargetgal October 10, 2018 Share October 10, 2018 Poor Kim, I know she kept Oscar's illness a secret but she is a great mom. Oscar is a great kid but all teenagers will rebel at some point. Finding out about his illness has caused him to rebel to the nth degree which is understandable. However, it is the worst possible time (health wise) for him to assert his independence. He needs to sit with his parents and doctors to discuss his options. Since Kevin is indisposed in Ferncliff, maybe social worker, Stella, can help this family come together so they can fight the cancer. 3 Link to comment
rur October 10, 2018 Share October 10, 2018 I taught ninth graders for a better part of my career, and I think the kid playing Oscar is doing a good job portraying an adolescent's view of "I am the epitome of noble suffering/I'm going to go eat worms" teen angst. (So much so, that it got me irritated.) If I were Drew, I would have been taping my repeated refusals to help the DA who wants to work outside the law. That means I would also have her on tape revealing that she had been holding a flash drive with my memories. And then I would once again refuse to work with her, explain to her that the only children she could ever have would be puppies, find myself a lawyer, and start looking for some reliable law enforcement agency.

Perkie October 10, 2018 Share October 10, 2018 Is it just me or is it weird to anyone else that they haven't given Chase's mother a name. Chase must be at least 25 years old. So dad, talking to Finn, while referring to Chase's mother, constantly says "my wife". Finn would know who he's referring to, since they've been together at least 25 years. So it's just very strange that every five minutes, while talking to his son, he says, "my wife and I....", I don't know why you hate " my wife" so much....."my wife, Chase and I are a family...."my wife loves me". Good lord writers, give her a freakin' name. You can just change it 6 months later like you did with the giant plot that Sonny did murder a man rather than simply buried him. 6 Link to comment

Gam2 October 10, 2018 Share October 10, 2018 As the mom of a son and a daughter, I’ve tried to empathize and put myself into Kim’s position. I’m not a physician but with that expertise and experience, I do believe that I’d have told my child what his diagnosis/prognosis is. In fact, I know I would. When a child is 2 or 3 or 4, they have no ability to understand or comprehend cancer or what it is, how it’s treated, how bad it can be, etc, etc. A teenager is old enough to comprehend those things, do research on his type of cancer and help make the decisions about treatments. Oscar is a smart kid. He can do this with the help of his folks and his doctors. I really wish the show would script a believable and reliable description of what this would really be like for a teenager and his family. But I know that will never happen. Although, I have to say as the daughter of a woman who died after a 8 1/2 year battle with Alzheimers, they are doing a good job with Mike. I liked the day care episode today. Mike, Carly and Stella seemed happy and satisfied with their visit but of course, Sonny has to be the ass about it. Geez. 6 Link to comment

In the real world I would never let my kid hang with or date anyone Corinthi related. However, in the morally corrupt world of GH Sonny is "a good mobster with a "moral code" ". When I wrote about Kim being a great mom, I put the absurdity of Port Charles aside and was focusing on the fact that Oscar is a respectful, decent, and smart young man. When I meet a teen with those qualities, I feel that this is the result of great parenting. Joss is a good kid as well, but this has happened not because of Carly's parenting skills, it is because of Jax's decency and great parenting. It still pisses me off that TPTB gave custody of Joss to Carly and the mob over a solid citizen and all around great guy. ' 10 Link to comment

Asp Burger October 11, 2018 Share October 11, 2018 (edited) Too. Much. Josslyn. Well, of course she's going to be front and center in this story, because she's Carly's female offspring, so big heaping gobs of screen time are her birthright. But angst and frustration do not play to this young actress's strengths. I like the scenes for the two boys more, even though Josslyn and her feelings are most of what they talk about. She's just been made too prominent here across the board. The cue we're constantly getting is "Look at Josslyn suffering. She's brave and strong and loves with her whole heart. Not just a part of it! If only Oscar would let her share his pain." The reason I want her to find out, really, is not out of sympathy, but just to move things along. At this point, I think anything would be preferable to hearing the actress screeching, "What's going on? This isn't like you, Oscar!" or "This doesn't make any sense, Cam! Everything was fine! There's something he's not telling me! Do you know something?" Or staring at her phone. Edited October 11, 2018 by Asp Burger 5 Link to comment

statsgirl October 11, 2018 Share October 11, 2018 Kiki and Griffin are truly nauseating together "Oh, it's so much better to have passes than just tickets for individual films!" Kiki is acting like he's her sugar daddy. Lulu was complaining so much about getting the kids ready for school and making their lunches. Is Charlotte with her full time now? Drew's "go to hell" to both Peter and Margaux about the flash drive is painting him as the real good guy in the story. It's still fun watching Ryan trying to avoid poor Laura. At least he has that much honour. 4 hours ago, OnceSane said: Maybe they didn't offer to raise the baby and just told him "this is the way it's going to be" and he had no say. Maybe. But wouldn't he be eager to get to know Chase then?

Linny October 11, 2018 Share October 11, 2018 The absolute last thing I want for Maxie is for her to be territorial and jealous of Peter and Lulu. This constant push-pull cycle of tension between Maxie and Lulu has gotten stale. I think Maxie works better with Nina and Sam these days anyway, and Lulu could definitely use some new friends (maybe Valerie, Margaux, or anyone who isn't Carly). I want Kevin to come back soon so he can shower Laura with the love and attention she deserves. She looks so sad every time Ryan rebuffs her. Plus, Kevin and Laura have a gentle, kind romance that's really lacking on the show right now. So many hints that something bad will happen to Kiki and Ava will take the fall, but I'm not yet seeing Ryan's motivation for getting involved. It kind of doesn't matter to me, though, if it saves me from any more of these sickening Kiki/Griffin scenes.
