I would love to see the outtakes. I bet they were howling with laughter. I actually hope the memory transfer goes through (but is short lived). Either way Franco's redemption is complete. I mean there's this PLUS the certificate he got from Jordan, so come on. They need to finally KILL Shiloh ...so his hot brother who looks just like him can come to town to try to make sense of it all. 1 4 10 Link to comment

Laur August 9, 2019 Share August 9, 2019 William Lipton is the best younger actor on this show in years! I wish he could act across from JJ too. They'd be magic together in emotional scenes. I dislike the character of Franco, but thought RoHo did well today too. Is Sasha going to die? Not a huge loss, but I could do without another young twenty-something woman being killed so soon after Kiki. Just let her leave town. My goodness, I will miss BM's Drew so much. He is my favorite on adventures with Curtis. I really enjoyed today's episode overall. Lots of great soapy vibes. I agree that everyone going at the problem from different angles versus simply turning everything over to some combination of Jason and Sonny was interesting too. 9 Link to comment

Also, I know we're all sick and tired of Jason playing the hero, but his total "eh, you got this?" to Elizabeth was just so off-putting. yeah, go stand guard dog over Sam so she doesn't stray from her bed and accidentally fall down a laundry shoot or drown herself in the toilet. 7 8 Link to comment
tvgoddess August 9, 2019 Share August 9, 2019 Well, I suppose I honestly can't complain because I wanted both Liz/Franco and Nina/Valentin to not be so disgustingly happy. I actively wished it out into the universe. So this is what I've received in return. Lucky me. Jason can fuck all the way off, and so can the writers. Already getting ready to retcon Scout's parentage, I'm sure. Sickening. He even mentioned Scout before Danny. Red flag. God, Finn is so socially awkward he can't come right out and ask Michael of all people if he and Sasha had sex. You're a fucking doctor, grow up. There's no need to be delicate. I'm trying to think of anyone who didn't actively piss me off this episode, and frankly, I'm struggling. 3 Link to comment

Definitely. I dig the irony of Shiloh having a twin. But please don't make him secretly in charge of DoD. I want that part of the story totally finished. It would also be nice if he wasn't hell-bent on revenge for the death of his brother. Such a tired cliché. Have the brother come to PC to clean up the estate, express appropriate horror at his brother's actions, and give everyone their feelings. Then he can establish himself in PC and we get an actor who can act! 9 hours ago, tvgoddess said: 13 hours ago, TeeVee329 said: Hey, hands off a lady's drink! Why was my girl drinking tequila?

sacrebleu August 9, 2019 Share August 9, 2019 Quote K, maybe a dumb question. Also just wondering in general and not just with regards to the scenes with Sasha today. When they don't want an illness to spread, they always show the visitors wearing a gown over their clothes and sometimes a mask and a hat. But their hands are always exposed. Sadly, from personal experience-- anyone coming in contact with the person who has the infection should be wearing a gown & gloves, not necessarily a mask (depends on the infection). and the patient would be in a room that has a sink outside, so you can wash your hands before/after taking off protective stuff. Hand washing scenes would be boring-- and you know these cheapskates aren't going to spring for a special set so... the girl with the mysterious infectious disease is hanging out in the ER. I feel like Michael should be more worried about Sasha, given his long list of dead girlfriends, and I also feel bad for Liz, because this will be the second relationship of hers that will end because of memory issues (the mind wipe that Helena pulled on Lucky when JY replaced JJ) 2 3 Link to comment

I thought the post was about them retconning her paternity, although I'm assuming that since she is the daughter of an identical twin that if they ran a DNA test, they wouldn't be able to tell if Drew or Jason is the father. And I could be 100% wrong about this since biology is not me wheelhouse and I can't be bothered to google it right now. And Drew would never abandon Scout. That would be total horseshit. I hope he takes Scout with him wherever he's going. Edited August 9, 2019 by YaddaYadda 4 Link to comment

I'm of two minds about Shiloh and both are answers to why I can't stand him but begrudgingly respect the actor. I'm sick of seeing smug men abuse people and cause serious injury or death. We're getting enough of that in real life. I begrudgingly respect the actor because he's bringing the smug to such levels that I am revolted. I can't fastforward on the television I watch (on the treadmill) but now I tend to change channels while he's on unless there is some form of retribution in the scene. 1 Link to comment
statsgirl August 9, 2019 Share August 9, 2019 Isn't it physically impossible for Jason to be Scout's bio dad since he was Patient #6 when she was conceived?

Something I'd also like to see: If there is ever another "fan fantasy return," Lipton/Cameron should get a conversation with Ghost Dad, assuming Chad Brannon wouldn't mind coming back for a day. They did it for Spencer with SWSNBN, and this would be better. I don't care if it would be processed cheese. I think William Lipton has been good opposite everyone. He really is at least GH's best young find since Scott Clifton. I'm ashamed that in his first few days, I didn't immediately warm to him just on the basis of his look. The kid who very briefly had the role last summer looked so much like Zander, so I was hoping he would settle in just on that basis. But Lipton is very convincing as Becky Herbst's son. 13 Link to comment

There's a lot to like - Rebecca Herbst and William Lipton knocked it out of the park in showing fear and how much mother and son love each other. I rarely cry when watching TV, and they got to me. Billy Miller and William Lipton were awesome too. I loved Drew expressing to Cam how valuable he is, and saying "I love you." He would make a kickass stepdad. I also really enjoyed Robert giving Maxie the verbal smackdown in front of Peter for associating with Peter, then being utterly unmoved by her anger and indignation. The Willow-Chase scenes at the end were sweet. I liked Lucas totally ignoring Shiloh's attempts at taunting, too. Lulu wanting to tell Willow's story as well as the OTT praising of Franco as a husband/father figure and friend to Drew made me roll my eyes, but I expected that. I could ignore it thanks to the other good stuff. Also, any episode not highlighting the Mob Four is at least worthy of consideration. Edited August 9, 2019 by Bringonthedrama 6 Link to comment

It made sense, both of them in relationships with cops , and it helped Lulu figure out what to do. Lucas should have recused himself from treating Shiloh. But eh, it's a soap opera. The more I see of the Maxie/Peter relationship, the worse it gets. Almost as bad as the science for both the memory transfer and Dante's treatment.

BM is consistently great with the young actors and is going to leave a void when he's gone. And Cam's anger, heartbreak, trauma, and yes, even the acceptance of Franco this situation created was all handled in just the right way. Like him or not, Franco did put himself on the line for Cam, and it would not be believable for Cam to witness that sacrifice and not be moved by it. For once, this was actual proof of Franco being the good man Liz always insisted he was, so I can't really complain. 13 Link to comment

ouinason August 10, 2019 Share August 10, 2019 Yes, it is a shitty way to give Lulu story, but I'd be pissed if the story was that a mental patient who can't trust his judgement to not murder someone files for divorce and the wife agrees to it. Like, rage. He literally can not mage rational decisions on his own. They should have either just sent Lulu and family off to be near Dante to support him through his recovery (because duh) or just had "off screen Dante" in the first place. "Oh, Dante is working a big case", "Oh, Dante took Rocco and Leo on an overnight trip to NY for a baseball game.", "Hey Liz, Dante said the kids had a blast when he chaperoned that field trp for Aiden and Charlotte's class." 1 Link to comment

So we're gonna see her fight the divorce over the phone, against a dayplayer lawyer? This is just another stall tactic because the show is terrified of trying to actually do something with Lulu and angering that fanbase and I find that creatively pathetic. Can you imagine something like the ‘99 JnR breakup happening today? Like, an ugly parting with relatively no closure? And this was when the show had a shitload of viewers and popularity. It’s social media, dude. It’s these fans who are loud, don’t take bathroom breaks, and just go on and on 24/7. Mindblowing, their power. Edited August 10, 2019 by HeatLifer Link to comment
