The fact that I listened to that entire opening number of nurses rapping makes me think I'm not making good choices in life.

Okay...maybe...but if I were Sonny I would still make her prove it directly to me...........wait "If I were Sonny" I'd kill myself and spare mankind.

But if you were Sonny, you'd just blame someone else and have them killed. Except for AJ's death which you will now continue to flail yourself with and wallow in your misery because it's ALL ABOUT YOU but you can't tell anyone why you're flailing yourself.

So let's say Ava is pregnant. If Sonny were a real THUG it would not matter weather the baby was his or Morgan's. Ava is stuck there on Sonny's Island, keep her there for nine months and then....oh well...

 

Not that I am advocating this kind of violence but if Sonny is really suppose to be this bad to the bone mob boss then that is exactly what he would do. Lame way to buy nine months of life Ava.

But, see, that would fly in the face of his gentleman bandit persona.  And TPTB...er, we can't have that when we can have him angsting about not being able to touch someone else who's hurt him deeply, let alone the no doubt impending WTD mess with him and his own son.  (On the bright side, unless they want to give Morgan a kid for whatever insane reason, there's no way in hell this pregnancy makes it if it's legit.  Not after the anointed Purina pregnancy.)

So many people on this show are homeless & these asshats need to start re-dressing sets immediately. The Spin/Ellie Portland set, the Cassidine Island house, Kate's Mansion, Ava's New York set and the loving mansion set when Laura was searching for Luke. What happened to Johnny's penthouse or Lucky set that went to steve & then Olivia.

 

One of the ideas that I hope network soaps lift from the PP soaps is the one of having double-sided walls to each set done a different way.   To get a new set you just flip the walls around, move some furniture out and some furniture in, and voila!  Two sets for the price of one.  I'd even live with the notion of having one set that just gets re-dressed different ways to be different people's bedrooms or offices or whatever.  It can't be that hard.

 

As a tried and true, until I die, loved them so much Julexis fan I knew it (angst) was coming. Bring it! It is going to be gloriously angsty and as old-school soapy as we will ever get on GH, and a storyline if left in the hands of lesser actors would suck dirty buttholes.

 

Yes, I'm holding out hope that this latest development is just the normal agita that all soap couples face and they will be reuniting at some point.

Michael Logan probably thinks so.

 

Oh Annabel, such sweet and to the point snark!  LOL.  Michael Logan always acts as totally surprised by the utterly predictable plot twists as my grandmother acted surprised be getting a sweater each Christmas.  And he also acts as if said tired plot point is JUST what we wanted - just like Grandma acted like she really loved yet one more sweater.

 

Off point - but is anyone else as distracted as I am by Scott Baldwin's giant badger head?  Between that giant noggin and those hundreds of little raccoon teeth he has, I tend to zone out in sheer wonderment when he's on.

Note to the soap gods - PLEASE don't make us watch him and Lucy have sex.  Please please please....

He'll save Molly from some danger or another, and Alexis will show her gratitude with sex. Julian has a secret plan to bring down Fluke, but knew he couldn't trust Anna with his family's safety.

 

Anna hates Julian, but she doesn't hate his family. Sam is the mother of Jason's kid, who she knows Robin would want protected, and Lucas is her good friend Bobbie's son and Luke's nephew. Anna is single-minded when it comes to Julian but she would never take it out on Lucas, Sam, and Danny.

Me too.  I swore up and down I'd never ship another couple on this or any other show--it only leads to heartbreak and the constant feeling of having to throw up.  But goddammit all to hell if Julian/Alexis don't make it worth it.  I'm completely powerless over my obession with this twosome.  I need help.

 

 

Julian has a secret plan to bring down Fluke, but knew he couldn't trust Anna with his family's safety.

 

 

I pray to the soap gods you're right and that is the case!  And Julian wouldn't even have to work that hard for my forgiveness...upsetting Molly hardly trumps keeping Lucas, Sam, Danny, and/or Alexis alive.

 

That said, I will enjoy daughter f'cker cooling his heels in a jail cell--karmic justice for all the shit he put Alexis through.  Made more delicious given that it comes at the hands of Alexis' current love.

 

What I wouldn't give for a scene, when this is all said and done, and Molly is copping an attitude with Alexis about staying with Julian, for Sam to sit her little sister down and explain how Julian setting Molly's father up for a crime he didn't commit in order to bring down the real bad guy, pales in comparision to the hurt her father caused their mother when he willing screwed her sister in her mother's home.  Pipe dream...I know.

I don't think she would believe him, which would endanger them. He didn't think she would believe him. She argued with him about even talking to him. No smart cop would do that. besides it isn't her call. It would actually be a federal prosecutor's call since something that big would be over a local cop and local DA's pay grade.

That was Julian's point, she is so wrapped up in her hatred of him that she cannot see or think clearly when the Jeromes are brought into it. She admitted her single mindedness was personal. She edited it after she got called out on it, but FH played it brilliantly. She showed Anna knew the nail had been hit on the head. The change in her facial expression and in her eyes was just perfect for that scene.

Oh, upsetting Molly would be the cherry on top.  I'd love for someone or something to make that annoying adenoidal know-it-all shut the hell up and realize how charmed her life actually is because of Alexis.  Brat.

Didn't she just!!  Her intense conversation with Julian before Scott showed up, in her lowered voice telling him how much she despised him was brilliant.  And then, as you say, all FH was able to get across with just her expressions and her eyes was brilliant as you say.  FH regularly gets handed a bucket of horse manure and yet she's able to make it compelling just because she is THAT good.  But all Ron C. can think to do with her is to have her constantly thwarted by villians and made a fool of by Duke. 

But she could read the phone book (while hopefully banging Ron C. on the head with a stilleto) and I'd watch.

But then we'd have to listen to her shriek hysterically. No, thank you.

 

I want the FakeLuke story finished. I don't care who he really is, since the explanation will be stupid. And let's face it, Sonny won't be affected in the least. He's already lost Jason, and that's really the worst thing that could happen to him business-wise.

 

Here's hoping Ava's baby is a tock. ENOUGH WITH THE BABIES, RON. Jesus. He has no other story ideas for women.

I've lost repect for Ava. Just own that you killed Connie and say Sonny has no reason to be pissy since he banged her cousin right after her death. Then, pull a gun on him. Fuck this teary eyed bullshit.

 

She needs to take a page from Julian in that regard. When told the Derek Wells alias was blown, he shrugged and basically said, "Eh." I wish Ava would do that. The writing for her is so erratic: She's a badass; no, she's a fragile lamb. Pick a lane.

 

Sonny also needs to learn how to count. There's NO WAY Ava is pregnant with his kid.

 

The continued stupidity on this show!

I'm not surprised at Sonny's stupidity. She really didn't need pee stick. She could have used a shiny object. Sonny being stupid is the only constant on this shit show.

I hate that now Julian is Mobster with Feels, but I love Julexis. Is that weird? Like, I love Ric, but I liked Puke scheming with Julian. But for a while there, I was like "you raped Bianca!!". I'm weird.

First, @dubbel zout - You're HERE! I wasn't sure with the way you said your good-byes, I didn't think you were coming over!

 

Ahem, as to your comment, but if Ava did own it, or shrug it off, then she wouldn't have layerrrrrs or be vulnerrrrrrable.

Oh man.....3 days behind but I had to read some of the board.  Sounds like I need to "fasten your seatbelts....it's going to be a bumpy night".  TM the awesome Bette Davis..."All About Eve".  If  you've not seen it ya got to.  Marilyn Monroe's first role...George Sanders smooth as silk...Ann Baxter so sweet butter wouldn't melt in her mouth....and did I mention the awesome Bette Davis?

 

Topic.   I just knew Ava being preggers was coming.  But do I really have to see Mikey/Kaka sex on a desk?  Thank Jasus for the ff button.  Mine's about worn out.

 

Can't wait to find out who FauxLuke really is.

I'm not happy about Julian lying and getting Ric arrested. For one, I don't want this to send Liz back into Nikolas' arms because I cannot stomach seeing them together again. I also feel slightly sorry for Ric, who actually appears on the straight and narrow and was trying his best to change for Liz and Molly. And I like Julian and Alexis, but there's no way that the lie isn't going to come out at some point and blow their relationship to pieces that may or may not be able to be put back together. So, basically, Julian's lie has thrown two couples I enjoy into uncertainty. Womp. 

 

I was hoping beyond hope that Fluke would reveal himself today, but I wasn't super surprised that he simply winked at the camera with a "wouldn't you like to know?" Also, I was impressed that AG allowed himself to appear on screen looking like he's on the verge of death. Real!Luke looked awful.

Sonny called Ava a whore and a bitch so that's how you know he cares about her.

 

I'm relieved Olivia didn't let Morgan hump her.

 

Ric getting arrested is the universe's way of telling him to stay away from Liz.

 

I just realized that Tracy needs to be added to the list of people who have been raped and sexually violated on this show

Every time I try to see if this crap is worth watching via the boards, I kill important brain cells, as they weep in pitiable agony. I can only imagine how much intelligence I'd stand to lose if I actually tortured my TV and actually watched.

Love. Before the Reese/Sam garbage, I actually thought Ric/Alexis fit much better than Ric and Liz. She being a Cassadine and Ric batshit nuts and all.

 

As for Lizzie, no harm, no foul. If one adoring peen isn't available, I bet if Nik comes a sniffin', Liz will be ready for another round of Love The Peen You're With.

On the show where Maxie conceived right after she miscarried? Oh, it's possible

Was today's episode slightly watchable? The latest Boston bombing arrest news took over the broadcast. I hate Sonny, love Julexis, and am neutral about LiRic.

 

It depends on how you feel about Julian lying his ass off to Alexis I guess.

Sonny called Ava a whore and a bitch and said if she's really pregnant he will kill her once the baby is born. Surprisingly, he had enough brain cells to realize Morgan could also be the father. Shockingly, instead of running to Nik, Liz decided to ask Alexis to represent Ric. She declined because she believed Julian when he swore on Sam and Lucas' lives that he didn't set Ric up. So not only did Julian lie to Alexis' face, he's also going to be the reason why Molly is devastated when she finds out her father is a murdering mobster on Monday. Luke and Fake Luke had a confrontation at the mental hospital. Fake Luke talked about how good Tracy is in bed so we have yet another sexual assault victim on the show.

That's EXACTLY what I thought, Rick Kitchen. It's not as if that conversation moved the story along.

I thought today was a fantastic episode . Actually, I've enjoyed all week, but today was good on all levels.  Tony Geary was fantastic in his performance today because I really felt like I was watching two completely different people in today's episode.  My heart broke for Luke sitting there and looking so vulnerable.  Kudos to TG for not being afraid to go there.  I really felt for Ric today because we all know he's innocent, and I was surprised that Liz didn't annoy me the way she usually does.  Instead, she was standing by Ric and confronting Julian.  I also think the scenes with Ava and Sonny were good, and I loved his remark when she thought her being pregnant was going to save her when he first threatened to kill her.  Then:

 

Ava:  What if I'm pregnant?

Sonny:  You're STILL dead - nine months later.

 

LOL!  Best line today.  Overall, I think GH was pretty darn good this week, and even this past month.  When the show and the writers focus on the GH vets and not so much the newbies, the audience responds and the ratings go up.  It's not rocket science.

Sonny confronting Ava went about as expected, which probably includes the invocation of "whore."  Unflappable Maura West was definitely the best part of that, minus Sonny's bitchface over "Carry my bags?"

 

Olivia and drunk Morgan, considering it actually did avoid going There in a practical and even pleasant fashion, might have been the best part of today's episode.  I can usually take or leave Bryan Craig, but for once his pouty post-teen thing worked for him.

 

Ric being framed for murder, and Julian being party to it, and thus his relationship with Alexis being strapped to a ticking time bomb, wasn't bad.  Considering.  But it would have been more interesting if Nancy Lee Grahn wasn't busting out of that black sweater and shirt.

 

And then there was Fluke and Luke and "Wouldn't you like to know?"  As much as I respect TG getting to sink his teeth into something--and even going method a little bit with that shaved head--those five words at the end, spoken to the camera, just derailed the whole damn thing and pissed me off.  Fuck you, RC, and your moments of seeming "cuteness."

They're probably going to determine it's Morgan's because it has Carly DNA or whatever ridiculous reason they use. And they they reveal that Ava is Carly's long lost twin, probably, so it can still be Sonny's, so back to square one.

AG looks so sickly. Ron was definitely being Meta with Luke's words at the end. Yes, Ron you are the genius that came up with this dumbass horribly passed story.

I know this is GH & you can't apply logic but wouldn't Anna need more info/proof that Julian's word in order to arrest Ric.

My apologies to you Julexis fans. IMO, Ron, is going to shit all over your couple because your interest has forced him to write for them. He only likes the predetermined couples he creates. See Mi-Kaka, Canco(sore), SiAmbien, Purina & now the big Fecas push. Alexis & Sam should be mad at Juilan for Molly's sake.

Um, when did Morgan turn 21? He's getting drunk in bars So how old is this making Micheal, now?

Somebody please tell me why this show is pushing Felix/Lucas? MS is devoid of chemistry. The contrived relationship shit on this show is horrible. Brad is paying more for the embryo switch than Dr. O.

Why do I still watch this shit?

He had the evidence on the computer. I don't know what it was really, and it's probably stupid, but it was supposed to be some sort of fabricated evidence.

I'm sure Morgan has a fake ID from his college days. He should still be 20 now, since his birthday's not till October. But Ron choose the much torturous "we forgot to add in that line that he's 21" on twitter even though it makes no sense. SORASed Kristina should be 22 in November (in 2011 she said she was almost 19) and they said Michael turned 18 in 2009, so he should be 22 right now according to that. So basically they smushed 'em all in a row.

That was really good. And Mumbles delivered the line clearly and with feeling.  I do believe that's the only acting compliment I've ever given MB since 1994.

 

Molly just wants to get laid.  She'll whine but she'll get easily distracted.

I don't like Morgan, but the drunk scene was well done.

 

As for Kiki, I saw her strip down and had to check google because the actress seemed to be about 15...I found out the actress is over 21 and is in a relationship with her co-star.  Honestly, I wonder if all the 45+ actresses playing early 20s girls on GH has messed up my age estimate ability for the show.

 

Sonny and Ava sucks, but Sonny sucks period. I really wanted a murder/suicide.

 

I don't like Liz, and even with that as my starting place her scenes were painful.

 

Anna started on the show as a shallow spy pretending to to deformed for revenge, and I even watched when she had sex with Robin's space alien friend's earth twin----all that aside, Ron as show runner has ruined Anna by turning her into the bumbling police chief who is the single worst dumbest cop ever.
