Yeah. I didn't get that vibe from this scene though. He didn't defend himself by bringing up the tumor or it being years ago. Couple that with Maxie bringing up what Franco did to Michael and Franco's crimes are a Big Deal again right now. Whether they will follow through on that is iffy though of course. 

It's not even particularly this scene or Franco's lines that bother me. It's that I don't think the character should be played for laughs at all. Ron is so busy with his ~isn't Franco the greatest when he's crazy~ ~Isn't it great that he will humiliate Carly and Sonny~ ~Isn't RH just the funniest can we all pretend he's Todd now~ ~I can't wait for the re-Hell No wedding except with characters no one cares about.~

Ron never takes anything seriously. And if there's one thing I wish he would take seriously it's the issue of sexual violence, but I know he's never going to.

I want more than anything for Sonny and Carly to get theirs, and I kind of realized that Michael was going to hurt in the process, but now it seems like Franco is targeting Michael, making the situation even worse for him, and that's taking some of the fun out of it for me.  

 

The scenes in Carly's living room were kind of fun, I thought.  Nice to see people who are related actually having scenes together.

Michael should be first and foremost furious at Sonny and Carly, but he should also take time out of his day to blast Franco for this.  And if his little girlfriend Kiki dares to stand up for the SERIAL KILLER, he should drop kick her into next week as well.

 

He should drop kick her into next week just on general principals.

 

I'm still wondering how this is supposed to go down without Ava going down with Sonny.

 

Based on past experience, a hard and harsh teacher, I predict that Ava will go down - HARD - and Sonny will skate.

I think Franco was flat out hinting that Sonny did indeed murder AJ. He was doing something no one in PC does- not coddling Micheal. He said flat out he was thinking of AJ. AJ was never Franco's concern, Jason was. Then, he said he wanted to be close to Micheal like Sonny. That, if you think about it, acknowledges Franco orchestrating the rape. It compares Sonny murdering AJ, Micheal's father which severely hurt him and lying to him for months going to the funeral, fucking Ava on AJ's grave, and badmouthing AJ to Micheal after killing AJ, to Franco orchestrating the rape. Which honestly, had Sonny not been a lowlife, Micheal wouldn't have been in that position. Franco then straight up said Sonny never retaliated, which is against Sonny's character. He didn't kill AJ. But if AJ was murdered during a bungled robbery as said yesterday, why was he killed at the Jeromes? Making Micheal think. Then Franco put the idea in Micheal's head of Carly being involved with Sonny making the pass at her.

If you get past the uncomfortable situation, it's actually kind of great.

I don't know if its possible to reverse plastic surgery, injections, etc., but the last few times JZ has appeared she continues to loom better than the time before and the best she's looked in years.

And I really liked the way she played those scenes today. Bobbie knows ish is goinsg to go down at this wedding but knows Carly is too arrogant to heed any warning. So Bobbie is torn between wanting to get the hell away from Port Charles, and being there for her daughter for the fallout of whatever is about to happen.

So when all of a sudden Kiki started name checking Silas as her "dad" to Ava and Morgan today....yammering on and on about being his daughter, that he would do anything for his precious baby girl, in so many words, including keeping as many dirty little secrets as she asked him to because their love bond is just that bloody strong now...it's as if she's incapable of not being annoying as hell. Whatever she does or says, however it happens, whenever it happens, wherever, the very act of her breathing is a travesty

 

I'll be honest, I am not yet convinced that the Nina is the one who cold clocked Silas. I think it was his self preservation, a bit of sixth sense action going on that realized Kiki was on her way and he quickly slammed his head against the nearest solid surface he could find, having no time to think, knowing only he needed to immediately react to the oncoming danger. .

It looks like Franco is creating a video to play at the wedding, a video which will bring down both Sonny and Carly.  This reminds me of the video shown on Days of Our Lives at the wedding of Kristin and Brady.  Needless to say, said video really put a big stop to the wedding.  I really wish the writers could come up with something more original. 

 

So Sonny and his hapless henchman want to pin Franco's murder on Heather.  And just how do they intend to get Heather out of the maximum security prison for the criminally insane?  Of course, Heather has been transferred to Pentonville.  Isn't that the word written on her jumpsuit? 

 

How can Nina be redeemed now that she has proven herself to be violent rather than just hell-bent on revenge?  Will Kevin Collins be gracing our screen again to work a miracle on Nina and restore her to the sanity she has never really had?

 

Does anyone remember just how much contact Dr. O has had with Nina?  Was it really enough for the Doctor to be able to make a diagnosis that Nina was unstable?  I really don't like the idea that Nina is out and out crazy.  I think it works better for everyone if she is developed to be sane but a spoiled heiress who needs to grow up.

No, fuck it, I can.  Sonny is one of the most miserable, self-centered, narcissistic, misogynistic, unintelligent, whiny, chicken-shitted, orange, little man with Napoleon Syndrome and a big set of man boobs, I have ever seen.  Okay, that felt good.  You should all try it.

Okay - I'm trying it - and all I had to do was copy and paste.  You are so right - it does feel good!

It was nice to see the Lucas/Maxie dynamic that should've happened a long time ago.  So this is where we are now with Maxie and Nathan.  After the Levi debacle, they're STILL not together.  And none of it strikes me as them just taking things slowly.  So we're now going to watch them just pine for each other for the next six months or so, meaning no sex for Nathan this entire year.  Poor guy!

Fluke need not be anyone connected to Port Charles at all.  He could be a ringer who is carrying out the orders of the Cassadine matriarch.  Fluke could have had plastic surgery to look like Luke and could have studied Luke's movements, mannerism, and voice.  Faison had a good bit of luck with his Duke mask.  Helena might have decided to go one better and have her ringer undergo plastic surgery.  After all, her brother-in-law had Creighton-Clark at his disposal.

I swear to God, if this show keeps going another few years (and I think it probably will) Ron and the Gang will still be making Josslyn "corn" gags based on a few weak jokes on TWOP right as she's entering PC High.

 

 

Way to beat something that might have been funny into the ground.  

 

Its amazing how this show can do a story and your choice in terms of taking sides is two pieces of garbage.  Sonny and Franco are just so horrible.  I want Sonny to go down but that doesn't mean I enjoy Franco mind fucking Michael to do it.

 

And how awesome is it that Heather's back?  When is this show going to reach its limit are terrible people? They outnumber the so-called good guys.

Damn, too bad Lucas and Maxie are related. There's chemistry there.

That didn't stop TPTB from almost going there years ago.  As teens, Lucas was crushing on Maxie while she was having sex on the Internet, and Georgie was crushing on Lucas and using Dillon to make him jealous. Georgie even got a hotel room so she could lose her virginity to Lucas on prom night. I think Lucas kissed each of the girls.  It was a little icky even if they aren't biologically related

Liz does the bitchface and snark well, for sure, but I think on her worst day Brad and Britt are still 1,000 percent more loathsome. 

Brad and Britt are no saints, but they don't pretend to be, and that's the problem I have with Elizabeth.  She acts so self-righteous.  SHE is the one that baited Brad yesterday.  The guy did nothing but walk into the room, tell her that he had the test results, comment that he's doing really well, and Liz just started snarking on him.  Making innuendos about Brad making in-roads with Jakeson and that he better not come on to him.  WTH?  SHE started the whole problem, and frankly, she's an amateur when it comes to Brad and Britt.  So if she's going to pick a fight, she should expect some pushback.  When Brad started to bait Liz about Britt and Nikolas, Liz didn't like it.  Naturally, the new Jakeson had to come to her rescue - which I hated.  Let Liz defend herself for once.  She started it.  

 

I want more than anything for Sonny and Carly to get theirs, and I kind of realized that Michael was going to hurt in the process, but now it seems like Franco is targeting Michael, making the situation even worse for him, and that's taking some of the fun out of it for me.  

It does seem that way, doesn't it, like Franco wants to hurt Michael?  That's sick.  He actually said that he resents that Michael is not more grateful to him.  The fact that he's putting Michael front and center at the wedding for the sole purpose of imploding his life is sick and twisted.  I just hope that RC plans on making Michael's anger a big deal and not understating it.

See I don't get that. I think he wants Micheal to actually figure it out before the wedding. He all but said "Dude I have access to two recordings of Sonny murdering AJ. In one he begs for his life, the other your parents get off on it and stain your couch. Which one you want, bro?" He's given him ample clues. If Micheal can't deduce based off today that hmm something isn't right, then he's definitely Special Needs Micheal. Because he knows everyone involved. He knows damned well hmm Dad hasn't mentioned Connie in a while. Hmm...since Ava's pregnancy was announced, he hasn't bad mouthed AJ that much. Hmm.., why is Franco thinking of AJ? Just that would make Morgan suspicions.

To be fair, I don't care that Micheal is collateral damage either. And I'm a rape survivor. Long story short, my rapist was a guy I dated in an abusive relationship and though I was bruised, because I showered, there wasn't enough evidence to prosecute. Anyway, I'm sick of Micheal being coddled. He needs to learn the whole ugly, painful truth. It's going to hurt, but Franco didn't kill AJ. And Micheal isn't his kid. This is all on Carly and Sonny.

Definitely, Uncle Frank definitely needs to find money in the budget to hire an enunciation coach for Mo and The Staff. Definitely.

 

Between Mo and Sean Blakemore, I could not understand one word between them today. And some days I think Sean is worse than Mo with the mumbling if that's possible. He needs to e-nun-ci-ate and I don't think he knows how. And no one cares enough on this show to show him/tell him.

It kind of is. Franco is disgusting and irredeemable and manipulative, but the way he's not telling Michael exactly what happened is kind of genius. That said, Michael is an idiot to agree. Carly wants him at the wedding. That's all she cares about.

I agree. The coverup is always worse than the crime. Okay, not so much in this case, but you know what I mean. Lying about it won't make Sonny killing AJ go away.

 

Maxie, you can meet with Nathan somewhere private, like Mac's house or at Lulu and Dante's. Sheesh.

 

Nina's predicament could have been kind of moving if she hadn't been BSC from the minute she rolled into town.

Too bad for ME that he is paid to play a part, and that part can never be cop on GH. Thank you PP. 

 

Any anti-chemistry between MS and ME is clearly on ME's part. He needs to stop acting put out that he has to show up for work. I hate having to defend MS, but she's out there working it, and he's rolling his eyes.

Forever and always.  Ten buck says tomorrow that Sabs will try and turn herself into Nathan, but Felix (he of the super pure moral code, as we keep hearing) will force her to keep her yap shut.

 

Both Sabs and Feelicks need to go away. I like the actor to a point. He's done some improv work in LA with my niece, but the character grates which of course goes back to Ron.

I'm 100% okay with this.  Nathan's best contributions to this show are when he stands around shirtless not saying much.  As soon as he tries to move or open his mouth, his terrible acting ruins the effect for me.  I can't even begin to imagine how terrible his love scenes are going to be.  As long as he pines shirtless with minimal speaking, I'm good.

 

Speaking of terrible love scenes, will someone who had the stomach to watch Patrick/Sabrina get it on tell me if JT looked like he was afraid to touch her?  I think that's why the Sam/Patrick makeout scenes fell so flat for me.  They were all adorable and sparkly and gorgeous, but the second they had to actually do anything, Patrick looked like he was conducting a scientific experiment on how far away from someone it was possible to be while still kissing them.  I don't recall him having this problem with Robin.

I would have loved it even more if Silas had shouted back at Nina, "Stop saying everything twice!"

 

 

 

 

Dear lord I want to take this post to the court house and make it official. I want so badly to have seen that now I just don't know what to do.

 

He could have also shot back at her, "And would you stop saying Ava's name like you're some French art student already?!"

 

 

I hate having to defend MS, but she's out there working it, and he's rolling his eyes

 

 

 

 

Imo if the work isn't of much quality then it's nothing to be applauded.

 

I've watched Michelle "act" for nearly 20 years, what's she doing isn't in reaction to Michael to me, she's never really reacted to whatever her acting partners do, she does whatever the hell she feels like.

 

The Nina isn't acting this way because Michelle is trying to carry scenes with Michael, because if that's the case then why does she behave exactly the same in scenes with every other single actor/character she's come in contact with on this show?

 

From Ryan/Nathan to now Donna/Mags, she's playing the Nina in typical Michelle fashion, imho, and it just isn't good, it's over the top when there's no need for it.

 

Ffs in the preview she's on top of Mags screaming "REPENT!!!!!" at the top of her lungs while bouncing up and down like some out of control ape.

 

To me that does nothing to enhance a scene or add drama, it makes her look unbalanced, ridiculous and like a fairly crap actor who can't just "act" out a scene with talent but must attach all these distracting bells and whistles as if covering up for something, such as lack of talent.

 

Perhaps she's getting direction to go full ass out, but then again I know her work from Y&R so it isn't as if they'd have to twist her arm if that's the case anyhow.

Pretty sure I'm in the minoritory here, but I'm liking bitch crazy Nina and her interaction with Silas. And I concur, Nathan is purdy but he can't act!

You have a friend.  I am loving these scenes, and frankly, it's the first real evidence I've seen that Silas wasn't in some coma of his own.  I love seeing a personality, even anger, something out of him.  I am no judge of acting, but Nathan is definitely gorgeous.

Okay... just like condoms, guns, and promises I don't believe Sonny understands how "hate" really works.

 

Why is he claiming Heather hates the SERIAL KILLER? If anything she "loves" him too much. She wanted him to pay for stabbing her and then burying her alive, I mean who wouldn't, but to try and make it out that she's suddenly wanting him dead and gone after all these months of silence?

 

Or does Sonny hope people will assume Heather found out about the wedding and therefore lost it, well lost it more than usual and had the SERIAL KILLER put down for good for daring to hitch himself to Carly.

 

Except why wouldn't she just have Carly taken out? Because that is the one she truly hates, and everyone knows that, and if she can hire people to get to the SERIAL KILLER why the hell is she going to just leave Carly suddenly untouched even though she attempted to murder her before?

 

Or maybe he should just plant a car bomb and pretend that Carly was a target too just to cover his tracks, because we all know Shawn would be the perfect guy for that job.

 

Yep...the perfect plan there, Sonny, whatever could possibly go wrong...

Too much Kiki, too much Sonny and Shawn, too much Franco. I'm still Team Franco as far as him taking down CarSon, but that was pretty crappy today what he did.

 

Ron will never get tired of corn, I'm afraid. Someone tweeted him that it was enough, and his response was something like "it's never enough". Dear lord.

 

I think my favorite part today was Joss, Bobbie, Lucas and Maxie all being Team CarJax.

Apparently she hasn't even yet made up her mind about whether to call Silas "Silas" or "Dad" because she kept switching back and forth between the titles so many times I was getting whiplash.

 

Even in the previews she's crouching over him going, "Silas? Dad?" Ffs pick a side already. She should just compromise and call him "Sad", which is what he's been since finding out she's his daughter anyway.

 

Though something tells me that if Silas does come to Ava's rescue, the scenes with he, Ava, Morgan, and Kiki together at the very least, who knows maybe even Rosie shows up and she has to team up with Silas to help deliver the baby, Ron is going to make sure those scenes are packed full of hijinks and shenanigans galore which either might end up pretty spectacular or the worst thing that's happened since they brought back the Simmons.

It's amazing how fast that happened, huh?  So fast that when it first happened, I thought for sure it was a fake out.  After more than a year of being up each other's butts 100% of the time they had a "blink and you miss it" breakup, and now they're done.  Focus group results must have been really terrible.  It was practically Patrick/Sabrina levels of backpedal.

 

Um... thanks for wasting a year of our time, I guess?  Though honestly, pretty much every plotline on this show seems like a waste of time at this point.
