Episode Discussion: TFGH

[TeeVee329]

Maura and Ava have lasted a lot longer than I thought they would this year. I have no idea where this is going next if she is hanging in.

 

If I know Ron, a custody battle with Kiki and Morgan over Baby Corinthos-Jerome.

[jsbt]

If I know Ron, a custody battle with Kiki and Morgan over Baby Corinthos-Jerome.

 

Ava is a cold-blooded killer who has been caught dead to rights with the smoking gun, and Kiki and Morgan have a single shriveled brain stem between them and no jobs. Who are they gonna award the baby to? Please don't say Dante and Lulu because I'll kill myself.

[Chairperson Meow]

Not gonna lie, I know they're too dumb/cheap to get Ingo, so I'll watch CoJones raise Joss while Carly moons over Sonny in a jail cell. I'll watch that with my real popcorn.

[TeeVee329]

Does Ron just enjoy beating a barely half decent joke to death with a stick?

 

Oh, yes.  He's ruined such simple words as "Chuckles" and "Twinkle" for me.

[CPP83]

Oh, yes.  He's ruined such simple words as "Chuckles" and "Twinkle" for me.

 

 

 

I didn't think it could get much worse until he had the SERIAL KILLER equate Sonny's man parts to a formally delicious pizza topping. He's shameless, utterly and totally.

 

It's as if he thinks if something worked the first time then it will work the next one hundred million times, and often it isn't even in the same context as before.

Whatever he has it's enough to perhaps work "for" the company at best but not to "run" the company. He is running ELQ, nothing he's done so far gives him the capacity to do so except that he got enough votes for the position, that was my point. Plenty of people end up in a ruling position undeservedly.

Considering there are only THREE Quartermaines in existence who can run ELQ, and one would give away the company in a heartbeat to save Fluke, and the other doesn't want it, I'm okay with Michael as CEO.  Plus, it really pisses off Fluke.

 

Laura Wright was really pitch perfect in that moment.  The look on Carly's face, it was like Michael had cracked her (theoretical) soul.

Yeah, unfortunately for Carly, she really doesn't get it unless and until Michael is more hurtful and cold.  She really wasn't getting it yesterday until he called her "Carly."  Then the realization started to hit her.  Her actions have consequences.

 

I'm aware he's in charge because it's a soap, he just happens to be a soap character I wish would fall off a parapet.

Understood.  Michael I'm fine with.  There are plenty of other soap characters on GH that I want to take a fall off a parapet, but Michael isn't remotely one of them.  RC needs to start with Kiki, move on to Nina, then Franco, and keep going through the newbies.

 

I don't see the supposed Jakeson/Sam chemistry in the slightest.  But then, these sort of things always seem to come down to who's on what side in the eternal Liz/Sam board wars.  Eh...I still hate Sam, and wish she would ride or die.  Preferably the latter. 

 

Finola Hughes is....Finola Hughes.  That exchange was disturbing, and magnificent. 

I don't see chemistry with BM and ANYONE.  I don't see it with Liz - they are boring.  I don't see it with Sam - she has more chemistry with Patrick.  I'm not seeing the greatness of BM, and I'm not liking this new Jakeson character at all.  It's sad when the faceless, voiceless Jason Morgan who was with Robin was more interesting than this one.  

 

I don't get the heat for Michael taking on Tracy.  Tracy is an ass.  She's schemed to eff him over, more than once, despite his honest efforts to help her.  And she's sprung for Luke Spencer, which should disqualify her right there, except she's actually sprung for FLUKE, which is even more embarrassing.  I actually like Tracy, but she's been living off nothing but the fumes of her Fierce Bitch reputation for a LONG time now.

 

I agree.  The only reason that ELQ hasn't been taken over by Fluke and Jerry is because of Michael and Ned.  Michael is also more detached because Tracy isn't his mother, and he's fighting to keep the company solvent and growing in honor of AJ and his grandfather.  Tracy is too fixated on Fluke and refuses to see she's being played.  She deserves to be called out for her stupidity.   Throw in Tracy's constant disrespect for AJ, and I'm okay with Michael getting in her face a bit.  It's such a Quartermaine thing to do.

 

Finola Hughes is....Finola Hughes.  That exchange was disturbing, and magnificent.

 

 

She is fantastic when RC actually utilizes her as an actress and not as a foil for Dr. O's rantings.  Dr. O is getting on my nerves with her hypocrisy.

First the pacing and timeline on the show suck(I know broken record). Everyone was making sure you knew it was afternoon meanwhile Nik and Britt were meeting with Sloane after BREAKFAST with the dishes still behind them. RME

I'm actually glad the time of day was mentioned b/c I wonder why the kiddies were wanting milkshakes for breakfast.

 

I will LMAO if Spencer is the one to hire an lawyer for Sonny. ha! That shit is right up Ron's ally.

 

I think Sonny will help Michael get Ava convicted of murdering Connie and his testifying against her will be part of his sentence. She did tell him she killed Connie.

[dubbel zout]

How exactly is Dr O, a known criminal and insane person more qualified to be the Chief of Staff than Monica?

 

She's not, but at least Dr. O is actually a medical doctor. Michael doesn't even have a college degree. Or a junior/community college degree. Or a certificate of attendance. If they want me to buy Michael being quailfied to run ELQ, he has to have more experience than a summer internship with Edward. Have him earn every degree possible over a commercial break. I don't care, just don't insist Michael can totes run an international conglomerate at age 22 with nothing more than a high school diploma.

 

her hilarious turn in Staying Alive with John Travolta

 

*dies laughing remembering that wonderfully terrible movie*

[MsChicklet]

Throw in Tracy's constant disrespect for AJ, and I'm okay with Michael getting in her face a bit.

 

 

I am quite all right with Michael playing Whack-a-Mole on everyone who shit on AJ this last go-round. Sonny, Carly, Tracy, Ned, Luke, Ava, Kiki, he should coldly stick it to each and every one of them somehow.

 

Liz and Fakeson? Blech. Also, snore. She had more sparkle and life with SK's AJ than she has with anyone since her original run with JJ's Lucky.

I can wank all day long on why Michael being CEO doesn't bother me but I won't. If I am going to watch this show frequently, I know there are some things I must overlook and this happens to be one of the less offensive plots going on so.

 

I am more bothered by the psychos running town providing chuckles than a less than ideal CEO. No heinous crime is being committed here. Also if Chuck Bass, a drunken slut by night, well and all day, can run a multibillion company, so can Michael.

 

I am glad some are seeing chemistry with BM. They sure are trying, I mean if he leaned into Liz' shoulder more when they were talking about Jake, he would've toppled her over.  

 

I am just annoyed that he is being wasted on this stupid confinement when Jason should be one of the people Michael is raking over the coals.

Speaking of soap people unqualified for their positions, did we ever find out if Felicia won the election? ;)

[dubbel zout]

Wasn't there supposed to be a recount? Or did I see that in a preview/sneak peak?

[CPP83]

The fact notLuke even exists is reason enough to feel rage towards the whole shitty mess for me. Tracy shouldn't be getting the bus backed over her, not just because of notLuke but also so Michael can run things as well.

 

Luke should still be "missing" and Tracy should have thrown her whole weight behind ELQ while trying to deal with things with AJ still alive and well and attempting to wrangle control from her, or heck they could have finally called a truce and began working together, what a novel idea. Frankly I don't like how Ron keeps using and abusing Qs for his crap story lines.

 

AJ died so Sonny can spend at best a month in lock up. Tracy has been dismantled and made into a silly fool just so notLuke could eat this show for months and Michael could take hold when it still should be AJ and Tracy battling it out against each other or teaming up togethe. It's disgusting and insulting and won't make a damn bit of difference, in a few months things will be right back to where they began with this whole mess.

 

 

Understood.  Michael I'm fine with.  There are plenty of other soap characters on GH that I want to take a fall off a parapet, but Michael isn't remotely one of them.  RC needs to start with Kiki, move on to Nina, then Franco, and keep going through the newbies.

 

 

 

Michael is just one of many. Anyone dumb enough to date Kiki can go right over with her which includes not just Michael but Morgan as well, and Rosalie can be hitched to the back of that hopeless wagon as well.

 

 

Throw in Tracy's constant disrespect for AJ, and I'm okay with Michael getting in her face a bit.  It's such a Quartermaine thing to do

 

 

 

 

Then they had better let her have a good go at him in turn because the real Tracy could rip Michael a new one without spilling her tea cup.

 

If they want to have Michael act like a big man suddenly wearing a Q name tag fine, whatever, but if he gets to steamroll over Tracy like she's Kiki or worse, that's just nonsense.

Make room on the FH Love train for me. She was/is awesome. Anna's busting Duke was good, her impatience with  Dr. O was better and her imitation of Faison was priceless. As for Agent Sloane, at first I thought that Dr. O hired him to reopen the investigation into what happened to Faison, but given Ron's shitty writing, I wouldn't be surprised if Jerry was involved somehow. Speaking of which, Britt was great yesterday. She was right to turn Agent Sloane down. Like Britt said, Faison was a megalomaniac who was her father in name only and If Anna and Robert killed him, then he deserved it. That Sloane shows more concern about Faison's whereabouts than Robin's is even more of Ron's incompetence rearing its ugly, inflated head.

 

 Michael Without Pity just keeps getting better. His contempt for Sonny & Carly gets stronger every day, with great reason. To Sonny's credit-or rather, what little of it he deserves-he seems to understand why Michael's pissed at him while Carly's still in denial, like the self-absorbed twit she is. Between how she's treated Michael and Morgan and her bringing Franco the SERIAL KILLER into the kids' lives in general and Joss' in particular, if Carly's maternal instincts were any worse, she'd be posing nude on a magazine cover. On the Q front, Michael's running ELQ is way less offensive to me than Dr. O's running GH, whether she has a medical license or not. I also have no problem with Michael throwing shade at Tracy, Ned, Lord Larry or anyone else who talked/talks shit about him now and AJ when he was still alive, especially where Kannie's murder was concerned. Best of all was hearing Michael say the words that I've waited over 20 years to hear: "My name is Michael Quartermaine." Edward, Lila, Alan and AJ must be smiling in Heaven right now, especially AJ.

Word to everything you posted jsbt. I am an Anna fan forever because Anna could be a scary bitch but once she stopped being bad, she used her powers of bitchery for the greater good. She flew in the face of the soap trope that the good girls are more boring.

And she SHOULD be tormenting Dr O. Like, on a daily basis.

Unfortunately, you are right that long after Guza's reign, the "good guys are sanctimonious and boring, the bad guys are honest and keepin' it real" idiocy continues ... and it's even worse now under Ron.

(Except for Sabrina, weirdly, although I guess he did get bored with her and made her into an almost baby killer).

[KerleyQ]

So, one of those rare times I'm actually looking forward to an episode, to see Michael with the Q's, and my affiliate is showing it at 2 AM to show three hours of the new Archbishop being installed this afternoon.  

[Tiger]

Yeah, unfortunately for Carly, she really doesn't get it unless and until Michael is more hurtful and cold. She really wasn't getting it yesterday until he called her "Carly." .

As great as that was, I really want him to refer to her as "Ms. Benson".

As I've posted previously, my dream scene right now is Carly showing up at the Q mansion, Monica & Tracy reading her for filth, and then Michael asking Alice to "please remove Ms. Benson from the premises" with the same coldness that Sonny once told his goon to "escort Ms. Scorpio home".

Edited November 18, 2014 by Tiger

[ulkis]

Oh, and one more thing: Anna tormenting Obrecht was great. I know, I know, based on that scene, in Ron's mind, we're supposed to see Anna as a sanctimonious Hater who is No Better than Obrecht. Too bad! She is! She's way better! Anna has also killed a lot of people for the good of our planet, swimming in a river of righteous blood full of the corpses of the unbelievers. She is a trained killer. Obrecht should know better.

 

I honestly think we were supposed to be on Anna's side in that scene (if not overall). But the agent comes across as such a douche that I think whatever's coming up we're definitely supposed to side with Anna. But that could just be me and my Anna love desperately hoping not. Like you say, FH gives Anna such dignity that it's hard for me to see her as unreasonable even when she is being a hypocrite at times. (Maybe that spell will start wearing off in about a decade like it has with NLG, who made me love Alexis even when technically I knew she was being annoying as hell.)

 

I'm definitely not immune to Kathleen Gati either - I laugh when she says "herr doe" in that clipped tone - but I agree that she's not threatening anymore, especially due to the wackiness.

 

I'm indifferent to Nathan but man I really do wish there was a chance of him and Anna hooking up just because Obrecht would hate it. (Although I'd really rather just de-mother-and-son them. I always feel so awkward when watching O. talking softly to Nathan while he stands looking befuddled.)

 

Ava is a cold-blooded killer who has been caught dead to rights with the smoking gun, and Kiki and Morgan have a single shriveled brain stem between them and no jobs. Who are they gonna award the baby to? Please don't say Dante and Lulu because I'll kill myself.

 

Okay. Custody will go to . . . um . . . Morgan's eldest half brother and Honey Boo Boo. Wait, maybe there's some hope. I don't think Leticia ever got killed off. Or Mercedes. One of them is still around!

 

Laura, Maura, and Fin are all putting on a master class in acting and it's making some of their colleagues look terrible in comparison. Quite a few people need to pull up a chair and watch these ladies work!

Chad has really stepped it up, but the show needs Tristan and Anders back to represent for the guys.

 

I would saying Tony Geary is back, but honestly even as he's been actually trying with the Fluke stuff, he's just seemed off. Maybe it was his illness. I wasn't impressed with that day of Fluke monologuing at Luke.

[peachmangosteen]

If Spin ever comes back and kills Sonny, you're going to find him sexy too, aren't you? :p

 

Dammit. Can you imagine? I would have to shower for like at least 2 days.

 

Well, that's been true for quite some time now.  I think Michael should take her, and they should both go live in the Q mansion.  Joss has some natural snark ability, and with the proper training she could turn in to a great Q.  If Skye can be a Q, why not Joss?

 

I'm into this. Joss is hands-down the best part of the awful kiddie quad and I really do enjoy her. I'd love to see her with the Qs.

 

That was the last thing Alan wanted.  Really, at this point, it should be Ned.

 

Ned said today he doesn't want it either. So it really is down to Tracy and Michael. And honestly I think Michael has a far better chance of running ELQ properly at this point that Tracy does. Tracy is just awful now. It makes me so sad, but it is what it is.

 

I am quite all right with Michael playing Whack-a-Mole on everyone who shit on AJ this last go-round. Sonny, Carly, Tracy, Ned, Luke, Ava, Kiki, he should coldly stick it to each and every one of them somehow.

 

I need this. Also he should at least mildly read Dante because Dante was such an asshole to AJ and it was so unnecessary. 

 

I am just annoyed that he is being wasted on this stupid confinement when Jason should be one of the people Michael is raking over the coals.

 

I wish for this. I want it even more than I wanted Michael to denounce Sonny/Carly. But alas, it will never happen. Jason is a hero and perfect man, dontchaknow!

 On the Q front, Michael's running ELQ is way less offensive to me than Dr. O's running GH, whether she has a medical license or not. 

 

Oh, Michael running ELQ isn't offensive I don't think, just I can't take him seriously in it really.

 

Best of all was hearing Michael say the words that I've waited over 20 years to hear: "My name is Michael Quartermaine." 

 

Wasn't Michael born in late '97? Not that 17 years isn't a long time either. That reminds me, what was Michael's last name when he was a baby? I don't actually remember them calling him Michael Morgan but I guess he must have been for the first year of his life.

 

Then they had better let her have a good go at him in turn because the real Tracy could rip Michael a new one without spilling her tea cup.

If they want to have Michael act like a big man suddenly wearing a Q name tag fine, whatever, but if he gets to steamroll over Tracy like she's Kiki or worse, that's just nonsense.

 

 

Of course the real Tracy could. But we haven't been dealing with that Tracy for about a year now. I love Jane Elliot and I don't think Chad can even approach her level as an actor. But if Tracy says something nasty to him, I don't blame Michael for reaming her out.

On that front who is "real" on this show anymore then? She's certainly not the only character wearing an OOC hat and badge depending on the scene. If Tracy says something nasty then wouldn't that be the real Tracy making an appearance? Which then brings it back around to my original point.

 

Tracy whether right or wrong, and she is often wrong, has never backed down from a challenge. So regardless of Michael's position if they have Tracy "bested" by him it would be, as I said, nonsense plain and simple. She could hand that kid his ass in her sleep.

 

Regardless though it won't matter of course, Michael's on a "I'm king of the world" tour, he'll come out on top regardless.

Hey, maybe they can give her to Mother of the Year Carly, especially if the kid is Morgan's. She's done such a bang-up job on her other kids, why not? Sure, she's an awful "human being" who brought a SERIAL KILLER into her young daughter's life, but hey, she's never actually killed anyone herself.

I was agreeing with you that real Tracy wouldn't break a sweat. I agree that nasty = "real Tracy" and the one way she'll be out of character is if she lets/seems to be intimidated by Michael. The part where I was disagreeing with you is I don't think Michael will be unreasonable if he yells at her. Should Tracy necessarily take it? No, I don't think so. If anything just because she's always hated Sonny and Michael has supported him, even when he shouldn't've (for example, when he never said anything to Sonny about sleeping with Ava, or when he turned Starr over the cops for holding a gun on Sonny). But she also hated AJ and never cut him a break, so I don't think Michael is a hypocrite exactly, if he keeps it to that topic.

[CPP83]

The part where I was disagreeing with you is I don't think Michael will be unreasonable if he yells at her

 

 

 

I didn't say that. I said I think it's be unreasonable if he were to just "take her down" without her really having a fighting chance or something of that sort. I was saying that if he is going to have a go at her then Tracy better be allowed to fight back, that's all, heh.

 

My issue was with how Tracy might potentially respond, not whatever Michael may or may not do. I need her to respond like the Tracy I know and have loved, she probably won't but that's my hope, always hopeful me...

Tiger, you know your way to a Robin fangirl's heart. I'm tempted to have crypt sex with this, have its baby then stick it in a treee.

I've waited 20 years and I'm enjoying the hell out of Carly's pain. LW is doing a good job with Carly's hurt and loss.

[Jalyn]

My fear is that Michael will soften as to Sonny when (if) he gives him that recording. Please no!!!

 

I'm actually kind of hoping that Sonny will decide to use that recording as leverage to get Michael to not sign off on the illegal recording that Franco took in his home. It's a logical reason to free Carly on a technicality (seeing as I doubt that they'll throw both of them in prison and the recording is the only non-hearsay evidence against her.) It also allows the Sonny hate to be driven just a little bit deeper for Michael. I have to think that they mentioned needing Michael to sign off on it for a plot reason, otherwise they'd have just pretended that the recording was fine.

[Turtle]

I haven't gotten the sense that Michael really cares one way or the other about Ava being prosecuted for killing Connie, at least right now, although I'm sure he'll want to clear AJ's name.  I just don't know if he'll look to Sony for any help at all, and I agree with Jalyn that Michael would really resent Sonny trying to trade the recording for any lenience for him or Carly.  I'd like to see Michael say that Sonny giving up the tape would help lessen Michael's anger and hate, and then be like "Nope, sorry not-sorry, was totally messing with you!" after he gets the tape.  

[TeeVee329]

What a shock, Agent Sloane has some kind of personal grudge against Anna.  Ugh, he is already annoying me.  Sorry, Ron, but I'm not interested in any characters named Kyle you're writing unless they're a rascally medical student romantically involved with a geeky cop. #kish4eva

 

I couldn't believe my ears when Kiki was STILL defending Franco, telling Ava that he would never hurt the baby.  And then she lectures Ava about the horribleness of murdering someone when her best friend is a SERIAL KILLER.  Buy yourself a clue, you stupid bitch.

 

Loved all the Michael Quartermaine stuff and Monica having, like, the best day ever, but it was a little too on the nose that it just happened to be AJ’s birthday.

 

Dr. O went old school on Britt today, slapping her, threatening to expose her secrets.  Oh Britt, girl, this is all going to end so badly for you.

This is a great/bittersweet day for Q Family fans and those who want to see a good Michael & Grandma Monica scene. Also, Ned in supportive/kind nephew mode is sweet. 

 

Kiki has such a big mouth, and ugh at her facial expressions. Gotta love that Mchael took the recording right to Anna at the hospital, no need to wait for her to return to the PCPD. 

[Lillybee]

I am waiting for someone to say, "duh, the initials AJ could mean Ava Jerome,"

[dubbel zout]

I've been waiting for that since Connie drew them in her own blood. 

[Lillybee]

So Duke is already in Pentonville?  Why so fast?

[IWantCandy71]

The reason I can't get into Michael getting into Tracy's face is that Michael and Ned colluded behind Tracy's back to steal ELQ. Sure they said they were doing it for the good of the company, but the fact was-they still backstabbed her.

So Tracy in Q fashion backstabs back, and she's doing something horrible by "betraying" Michael, but Michael wasn't doing something horrible by "betraying" her?

No. Just no. And Tracy of old would have been allowed to point this out, again in true Q fashion. They are both backstabbers. And if the show were written by someone who understood the Qs, the ELQ fight could be delicious, nasty fun.

Instead, we're left with Saint Michael being in the right, even though let's all be real: he's totally not qualified to run the company. And I call crap on the comments now that Tracy almost ran the company into the ground. Especially when dialogue before the Fluke mess started, specifically noted that the company was thriving under her.

Whatever.

And I'm going to bite my tongue and not even comment on Tracy's stupid decisions about ELQ.

I don't even care that she wanted to get Luke back-or that she cares more about Luke than the company. It's about time she didn't let the company be #1 as far as I'm concerned. It's the sloppy, OOC way the whole thing has been written that makes me see red.

Real Tracy would eat Michael for breakfast and come back for seconds-but most importantly, it would be entertaining. Writing that is slanted to make someone so incompetent look in the right when he's totally inept is ridiculous.

Kiki: With how he's treated me, I'm sure Franco will be good to my little sister.

 

heeeeeeeeeeeeeeave. Flames. Flames on the side of my face!

 

You'd think with his renewed AJ love Michael would be a bit more sensitive flinging around the words "that drunk" at people. But hurrah for completely ignoring Kiki. 

 

Actually between O. turning back into an evil mommy again and yesterday's dialogue about how Anna will never be able to bring her down, and her delusional "Cesar is meine soulmate" shit, I actually do think O. might be headed for a fall of some sort herself.

 

Poor Maurice Benard. At one point the camera focused on him from under Diane's shoulder and captured him at a very "slack-jaw yokel" moment.

 

Why does Alexis sound so upset about Carly possibly going to prison? Maybe she's afraid Morgan will try to come live with her.

 

I liked Diane and Alexis' quick handhold of solidarity.

I like to think it's because she turned him down for a date. (hashtag: everybody wants Anna)

[Yolapukka]

My husband cracked up every time they cut to Kiki grimacing like a troll. I love how her default reaction to someone else actually acting involves pulling stank faces. Also, Show, I do not need to see her in skinny jeans and hoof-like platforms, especially with a baggy top with a high collar. I don't think that is a great look on anyone but it's especially awful on tiny women with short necks. She's got a cute figure when they dress her in flattering clothes, in this get up I couldn't tell if she was supposed to make me think of the bridge-Troll or the billy goat gruff.

 

Hee(!) that she won't acknowledge that Michael wants nothing to do with her or admit that Franco is a piece of shit.

I mostly skipped the Jiz scenes so I just now realized Liz has a picture of Jason on her mantle. Wow. I know Liz is pathetic...but wow. Does she know that Jason wasn't her husband? No matter how much she wants it to be true, it's not.

 

As far as Jake knew, Lucky was his father, no matter what Liz wished. Jason was a glorified sperm donor once the fairy tale is stripped away.

 

I found this odd, as well. The only photo, of an adult male, on display in that household is freaking Jason?!? I get that Liz is somewhat obsessed with Jason, but why have his photo on display - to the exclusion of her other Baby-Daddies? I am especially thinking about Lucky here; wasn't he supposed to have been the love of her life, and what do the other (living) children think about this?? The fact that they have different fathers, yet Jason is the one who is given the honor of prominent display?

 

I actually found it to be a little irritating, to be quite honest.

 

Liz blowing her relationship with Jason out of proportion has always been a running theme with the character. She makes herself more relevant in his life that she actually was. It shouldn't be a surprise that she'll have a photo of them together in a prominent place in her home.

 

Exactly!!

Whether Jake was a mistake, I do think there is a lot of story to be mined from Emma meeting a mysterious blonde boy when her group is finally teen-aged. Helena having faked the death, snatched Jake and given him to some cousins to raise as evil is a story that needs to be told.

 

LOL - I kind of like this - but given that DOOL has been my number one Soap since I was old enough to watch, my enjoyment of a good "Back From The Dead" reveal/storyline should come as no surprise.

I think it's cool that Micheal nailed what Lord Larry is about from the jump, and through this mess, he has been working. He knew about the shares. Good job on that workflow, Mr. Quartermaine. He did it himself, unlike Sonny. No one turned his computer on to read the emails. Also, loved his "I don't need your protection. " to Shawn. Because really, who does Shawn protect? The bushes at Julian's park house?

Silas. Don't do it. You've had enough crazy. It couldn't have been that good. Just let it go, man. Get some rum, change the locks. Move. I hear there may be a brownstone available. Dr. O needs to slap him.

Because it can't be said enough. Shut up Kiki. Shut up Spencer.

Well, to be fair, the table wasn't big enough to hold that many pictures.  (Couldn't resist, sorry)

 

I never thought I'd say this, but I am getting a little tired of SamTrick.  It's lather, rinse, repeat with them.  The only point to their scenes today was the fact that Patrick got his job back, and Sam couldn't be bothered to respond to Dr O's stupid remarks. 

 

I have a bad feeling that Sonny will fall on his sword and sacrifice himself for Carly and Duke.  That's the impression I got from the Sexis scenes at least.  Good noble Sonny.  Barf.

Can someone take pity on all of us and kill off Spencer?  Maybe he could fall off a cliff or something?  I can't listen to him any longer. I really can't.

What a shock, Agent Sloane has some kind of personal grudge against Anna.  Ugh, he is already annoying me.  Sorry, Ron, but I'm not interested in any characters named Kyle you're writing unless they're a rascally medical student romantically involved with a geeky cop. #kish4eva

 

And don't get me started on how obvious it is when he ends every scene with a self satisfied smirk on his face.

Ugh, I thought we were spared from seeing the little shit and then he appeared halfway through the episode.

So Duke is already in Pentonville?  Why so fast?

They needed the cells at the PCPD: But it drives me nuts that people not convicted are sent to a prison, isn't there a detention center in Buffalo or something to send them to. I mean I know it snowed up there today but man transport Duke to Jail

In the GH in my head some day Helena will walk in look at Spencer take out a knife and slit his throat then turn to Nicholas and say "Try again and this time do not pick a peasant for a mother"

I don't see the supposed Jakeson/Sam chemistry in the slightest.  But then, these sort of things always seem to come down to who's on what side in the eternal Liz/Sam board wars.  Eh...I still hate Sam, and wish she would ride or die.  Preferably the latter. 

 

Laura Wright can be SO good.  But Carly is such a detestable character that I literally wind up displacing the sympathy that *would* go to the character...and wind up just feeling sorry for Laura Wright. Weird. 

 

I don't get the heat for Michael taking on Tracy.  Tracy is an ass.  She's schemed to eff him over, more than once, despite his honest efforts to help her.  And she's sprung for Luke Spencer, which should disqualify her right there, except she's actually sprung for FLUKE, which is even more embarrassing.  I actually like Tracy, but she's been living off nothing but the fumes of her Fierce Bitch reputation for a LONG time now. 

 

Finola Hughes is....Finola Hughes.  That exchange was disturbing, and magnificent. 

 

 

When has Michael put forth any honest efforts to help Tracy?

Guess I fell asleep and missed it. I remember Michael unprofessionally making out with his girlfriend(two if we count the hooker and Kiki) at ELQ(IDC if others have done it, it's Michael we're talking about now). I remember Michael sassing and acting like a brat when Tracy repremanded him.

 

But honest efforts to help her?

BWAH

No.

I LOVED Michael and Monica's scenes. Monica deserves this moment. AJ acquitted and Michael back home where he belongs. The homecoming was bittersweet because AJ couldn't be there to complete the happy picture.

 

However I dislike Monica assigning Michael Tracey's wing. I am fine with them bickering over ELQ all day long but Tracy shouldn't be thrown out of her rooms for Michael to move in. That said, I like the plot, it is not going to happen. It just gives Monica and Tracy bicker fodder. Frankly I prefer that over fighting over Fluke, Luke and Lord Ashton. 

 

Well, to be fair, the table wasn't big enough to hold that many pictures.  (Couldn't resist, sorry)

I am actually enjoying SamTrick now that they are firmly in friend territory. It is always nice to see Sam happy so her giddiness over Patrick's reinstatement made me happy.

 

Also loved that she said a nice "thank you" to Dr instead getting drawn into a bitchfest with her.

I just imagined Spencer running towards her all, "Gwanma Hwelena!!!" and Helena just flat out shoving him off a parapet.

 

However I dislike Monica assigning Michael Tracey's wing.

 

Maybe I misheard, but I thought Monica just gave Michael Larry's room, which is no big deal in my book.

 

Also...didn't Monica throw Tracy out?  What is she even doing living there?

[ulkis]

I don't think Helena would kill Spencer. I think she would try to mold his evil, for, well, evil.

I am in as long as he takes Kiki with him.
