perkie1968 July 20, 2019 Share July 20, 2019 So, Shiloh, who is out on bail with a boatload of criminal charges, including murder, is allowed to visit Harmony at Pentonville, the wife of the man he's accused of murdering, who is also a witness in his case. Also, why were Harmony and Shiloh allowed to visit face to face whereas Ryan and Jordan had to be seperated by glass? 1 3 Link to comment

If they insist on keeping her around she should at least be with someone who can make her laugh and smile. I did think they had nice chemistry.

Never said hate; I said they don’t “care for” the character as played by Kimberly. And I totally believe Ron wanted to recast, as well, which is why TPTB had people believing that Kim couldn’t make time for the show. She was available- just not on a full-time, everyday basis. It doesn’t shock me that she has appeared MORE and her character mentioned MORE since JT’s exit. That’s not a coincidence to me. And, no, Kim never wanted Robin killed off. I don’t know if she had to say the company line initially when it happened, but there are interviews after that where she basically says that she was not satisfied, including this quote from a Fairman interview. ”SinceI left the show more than a year ago, I was not ever satisfied with the way it happened. Frank knew that I was always wanting, and willing, to come back and do something else that was more respectful of the character..” 2 Link to comment
TeeVee329 July 20, 2019 Share July 20, 2019 I'm talking about before Frank and Ron even got there, when KMc gave her notice and Garin Wolfe wrote that stuff about Robin's HIV meds not working and her filming that video for Patrick about moving on. Isn't the story that Frank and Ron are the ones who changed it to a "death"? The biggest mistake, IMO, is still how they handled things after Robin's Rescue 1.0. If Jason Thompson was staying (and again, I've said this before, I'm not here for people being like "He should have quit!" because he was under no obligation to quit his job, IMO), instead of the Victor Cassadine foolishness, they should have just had them bittersweetly realize that they had changed in their time apart, and that they still loved each other, but it wasn't the time to be together. And then Robin could have gotten a great job in NYC to continue her research and could have checked in whenever she/they wanted. 5 Link to comment

Peppermint Patty July 20, 2019 Share July 20, 2019 (edited) Did anyone else get hit by anvils falling all over the place on Friday? Spoiler Now that Ryan is going to read Shiloh’s book, I expect we’ll see Shiloh and Ryan, and possibly Nelle teaming up. (That SOD cover a few weeks ago hinted at it.) I thought Harmony would be involved, but now I’m wondering if she is in danger. It makes no sense that Kristina, Harmony, and Carol turned on Shiloh so quickly without any wavering. I’m glad to see they brought Daisy back as a loyal follower and not another person turning against him. She seemed totally subservient to him - even more than before.

dubbel zout July 20, 2019 Share July 20, 2019 I think the writers just don't want to commit to anything, so we get these wishy-washy endings that can always be retconned whenever the actor returns/the show recasts/they "fall in love" with an actor. It's so frustrating as a viewer, especially because it's not as if news doesn't leak out. It's not really the show's fault that there's no element of surprise anymore, but they're still writing as if there is. No creative risks are taken, the show has no imagination and humor. 6 Link to comment

She's also someone with a rather sizable trust fund. So she either had caring parents who wanted her to live well or bad parents who threw money at her and didn't care what happened to her. Plus I think the actress has a quality to her with those big doe eyes and the way she stood in the background looking confused by everything happening. Shiloh's universe can blow up and he can melt in a pee puddle. He is a nasty piece of work, but I feel more somewhat sorry for Daisy for being taken in by him and then having to watch everything she believed in crumble around her. I just hope she's not forgotten when the whole DoD storyline is done. I hope Kristina will show enough growth and care enough about her to reach out and try to help her out, or Willow. But I'm thinking Willow will be kicked in the teeth soon enough. Pretty sure Harmony is marked for death now and she's eventually going to find out that her son actually died. 3 Link to comment

I think the order of events was: Daisy emptied her trust fund to pay Shiloh’s bail. The trustee contacted her parents to tell them she emptied it out. Her parents cut her off, probably because they see Shiloh as a con artist and want to protect their assets even if they can’t protect their daughter. I hope that eventually we get a proper resolution for Daisy’s story, since she is as much a victim as Willow, Carol, and Kristina and she was our first introduction into DoD. She not only gave Shiloh her trust fund, but as a member of the trust, we can assume that Daisy also has been manipulated into sleeping with Shiloh. I hope we eventually see her wake up and leave. 5 Link to comment

TVbitch July 21, 2019 Share July 21, 2019 Lulu will no doubt be calling an Uber home from the party. I don't know if I can handle a "Lulu learning to love again" story. We just puked our way through that with Maxi. While I like Justin, ER's acting is so one note for me ..okay maybe two: bland and frantic. Glad they didn't kill Dante, cuz he's one of the few redeeming characters and I've always liked the actor. But for fucks sake, they HAD DZ coming back and could have written a great, deeply emotional PTSD or other story that took Dante off the map for a while. Instead we get MUST COMPLETE THE MISSION and him shutting Lulu out. Totally unsatisfying, but if this show knows anything it is how to utterly trash what could be potential great. I hope Daisy sticks around too, cuz the 20 something crowd needs some new blood. But she will probably kill Shiloh. 2 Link to comment

They didn’t really have any other choice other then killing off Dante and then unkilling him in 3-5 years from now. The return from the dead has been done a million times already.

Today's show was a great example of why the Drew and Curtis friendship is awesome. I really liked Curtis's truth telling.

statsgirl July 22, 2019 Share July 22, 2019 For an episode without Sonny, Carly and Sam, that was still fairly boring. We still had to have Jason though. I thought it was so weird at the start when all we saw was Jason's back that it was SBu's voice and not BMs, but once he got violent, it fit. That wasn't Drew there, that was Jason. What does Jax have against Ava that the article wasn't mean enough? I don't remember him being that close to Nik to go full bore on Ava for him. Did he even know Kate? It all feels so off kilter. ER did a good job on Lulu's hurt and pain I can understand why she fell apart, she'd been holding it together waiting for Dante to come back and now she finds out he's not going to. Worse he's taken any kind of autonomy out of her hands short of contesting the divorce. I liked the Neil/Alexis scenes. Frankly, I'm on Alexis side, given her history and the lack of decent available men in Port Charles, she made the right decision. 1 Link to comment
BlancheDevoreaux July 22, 2019 Share July 22, 2019 For the love. Steve Burton desperately needed to ask Billy to act out the flashback scenes and then try to emulate that. Instead, he played it exactly like Jason. I half expected him to threaten to disappeared Shiloh. Annoying. 7 Link to comment

I don't remember him being that close to Nik to go full bore on Ava for him. Did he even know Kate? Sonny had scenes one-on-one with Olivia, and he and Olivia were in scenes with Laura and Lulu. Jax resented Nikolas for having an affair with his wife Courtney and so she didn't know who her baby's father was-no friendship there. He was, however, good friends with Kate Howard and brought up to Ava how she killed his friend as well as business associate Kate (by then she was "Connie") in cold blood, right there in the Crimson office. 1 2 Link to comment

LOL, he wasn't being a mob boss or annoying throwing his weight around. I mistook him for a different character. If Jax brought up Nik when Kate was the one who was really closer to him, it's another anvil of Nik's return. It would also distract Laura and Lulu from the divorce woes. Link to comment

Plus, Morgan. He thought of him like a son. A really dim, dumb-as-a-rock son, but a son nonetheless. 1 4 Link to comment

So because Billy Miller is leaving the show, they're going to rewrite Drew and Shiloh's history? So Shiloh is not only a sexual predator and cult leader, he's a war criminal too. 1 1 Link to comment
