perkie1968 July 10, 2019 Share July 10, 2019 Are the writers retconning what Liesl knows about the baby? All Liesl knows is that Nelle gave birth to a live baby. She does not know that Nelle and Brad switched the babies. Brucas and Wylie should not be on her radar at all. So why do they have Liesl spouting off stuff about Wylie? Dear writers, all of this happened a year ago. Please rewatch your own episodes to remind you of who knows what so as not to piss me off. 9 Link to comment

All I remember about Hayden was that she kept propositioning nearly every guy she met for sex (Jake, Ric, Nic). And she was desperate for cash... so yes? 3 Link to comment

statsgirl July 10, 2019 Share July 10, 2019 Are there any preservatives or chemicals in that green juice that Sonny et al. keep forcing on Carly? It looks like it could be doing more harm than good. I hate this show for making me side with Jason about Sonny's lack of research into who he really is before he lets him into the house with Carly and the girls. Also, Sonny getting forged legal documentation for him including a SIN card is something that I personally find really offensive (I've been working with refugees the past few years). Music may run in the Quartermaine family but Leo doesn't have any Quartermaine genes. Julian is his bio-dad, not Ned. Other than that, I liked how the reading of the will was handled. As much as I hate Shiloh, I think Oscar giving him the voting shares is a good soapy twist. 14 hours ago, tvgoddess said: Maybe because she genuinely doesn't know?

From what I remember, Hayden lied to Finn that she had lost their child and suddenly left him as they were planning to move in together with only a letter, although I may be missing something. I'm not surprised that he didn't want to run to Rome to meet with her, His hurt and vulnerability at her leaving (and lying about his child but he doesn't know that yet) trumps her pride.

Correct. Today Drew said "without my consent" to Kim. I assume Show will not allow any character to say "attempted rape" because Drew is not a woman. I liked that at least Drew is genuinely angry with/appalled by Kim's actions instead of saying it's okay, don't worry about it, just get help. As usual, Cam is awesome. The best part of the episode for me was that Monica's face went from "oh cool" to "oh damn" when Cam clarified that his Aunt Hayden, not Aunt Sarah, has returned to Port Charles. Cam's tears when Alexis gave him the keys from Oscar, and then him comforting Josslyn, also pulled at my heart strings. I knew from the horrified look at the end, before she actually read it aloud, that Alexis was seeing Shiloh's name. I was SHOCKED to hear an AJ mention, but then Show lost credit for that as I was rolling my eyes that of course Oscar left Michael a photo he took of Michael holding Wylie. I want to know who the hell Sam thinks she is trying to tell Robert Scorpio what to do and giving him bitch face. The only good thing about Sam is the camera showed she has pretty, shiny hair. It's sad, but not a surprise, that the brain damaged hit man is more concerned for the safety of Sonny's children and stepdaughter than Sonny is ... because Sonny only cares about Sonny's business and how he can benefit from Dev's skills. 6 Link to comment

Linny July 10, 2019 Share July 10, 2019 So the whole rigmarole with Jason being the executor of Oscar's will and being family with Oscar and Drew meant nothing, since he was ultimately too swamped by his commitment to breaking the law to show up for such a meaningful event. Why even go through the effort of giving Jason such a significant role when his real priorities will always, always, lie elsewhere? Overall, the will reading was appropriately emotional (I especially liked Monica's thoughtful gift) but it would have been better received by me if the show had demonstrated some restraint and left out that unsubtle picture of Michael and Wiley. We fucking got the memo the first seven hundred times, so maybe just CHILL with the reminders until they're actually going to MEAN something? They're so relentless, damn. Shiloh, a person Oscar spent time with for only a few months, getting the ELQ shares is exactly what happens when you leave big decisions in the hands of a teenager. He probably didn't give much consideration to the value of those shares and how the Quartermaines would feel about him gifting them to a stranger to the family (and yeah, Alexis' shocked face was for the benefit of the audience only). Those shares should have gone to Scout, who no one even mentioned today, sadly. 7 Link to comment

Cam probably has spent more time with Hayden that he has ever had with Sarah. A) Hayden (as part of her duties) was told to save money for General Hospital during her first stint in Port Charles. She was talking about eliminating hospital jobs and said "it's business" when people had the audacity to get upset. B) Re-cast Sarah worked (interned?) at General Hospital back when Elizabeth was engaged to the first Lucky re-cast, so Monica certainly remembers her. Also, shortly after Elizabeth had given birth to Aiden and Lucky returned Aiden to Elizabeth after Franco had the newborn kidnapped, Elizabeth (for Becky's maternity leave), Cam and Jake went to visit with Sarah for a few months, off-screen. So he has definitely spent more time with Sarah than Hayden. There was exactly one scene where Hayden and the previous Cam acknowledged each other, which was when Hayden decided she wanted to take Cam and Spencer out for a fun afternoon (Spencer attached himself to Hayden the second he saw her, when she had just persuaded Elizabeth to let her take Cam so "I can get to know my nephew.") 1 Link to comment

paisley July 10, 2019 Share July 10, 2019 I felt bad about Oscar dying, but this will reading was some tired b.s. The sole purpose was the exceptionally stupid Shiloh stock bequest and the sole purpose of that is to add to the probable upcoming "Who killed Shiloh?" story that isn't coming fast enough and that I could care less about. I wonder what the background requirements are for soap writers? Is it necessary that the applicant has ever watched a soap?

As @statsgirl pointed out, she showed interest in being "Fun Aunt Hayden" for about a minute with Cam - just after she found out she was pregnant and wondered, "Hmm, maybe I could handle doing the mom thing?" Hayden and Elizabeth never formed a true sisterly relationship, and I'm not sure if she ever even laid eyes on Jake or Aiden. Elizabeth and her older sister Sarah had the same parents, grew up together until Sarah left Port Charles as a teen, came back (new actress) and worked at the hospital for a time when Elizabeth was a 20something, and (per Elizabeth's lines to Nikolas when Aiden was a baby) is a doctor and mother. I believe Elizabeth has mentioned Sarah a couple times since then, probably during the "Hayden is your half-sister" storyline. 1 Link to comment

Hayden never saw Spencer as obnoxious, entitled or nasty; she thought he was just the greatest kid.

He'll have to get in line though. Link to comment

Gam2 July 10, 2019 Share July 10, 2019 The writing on this show just gets more unbelievable every single day. Oscar leaves his ELQ stock to Shiloh? In what universe would this ever be allowed to happen? Will someone, anyone please just kill this shyster tomorrow so we can be done with this nonsense? And again. Sam? SPEAK UP! QUIT MUMBLING! 2 Link to comment
