dubbel zout June 18, 2015 Share June 18, 2015 I don't understand why Liz is so gung-ho to help Nikolas get ELQ. Oracle42 already mentioned it, but Nik has convinced Liz that if he owns ELQ, that will mean Jake is out of Michael's orbit and therefore will have no memory joggings of being Jason. Right, because living in Port Charles, surrounded by other memories of Jason's life, won't do squat there. It's as stupid as the reason why Nik is trying to takeover ELQ. 10 Link to comment
Perkie June 18, 2015 Share June 18, 2015 Geez Michael if you locked your freakin' office door, maybe there would be less chance of people trying to take over your company and certainly less chance of people defiling your couch. And really Morgan and "Denise" you just have to have each other right now, right here? Geez louise, calm your hormones a little, or Avery will end up with a sibling in 9 months. Kiki: why is she so dumb? No really, why? 7 Link to comment

IWantCandy71 June 18, 2015 Share June 18, 2015 (edited) And his alleged BFF is the worst. I don't understand why Liz is so gung-ho to help Nikolas get ELQ. I think Liz is just the kind of person who justifies her crappy behavior by the fact that other people are doing crappy things. She doesn't want to say anything against Nikolas because then she'd have to face the fact that she herself is a moral void. She always has been, IMO. The smirky evil isn't OOC, it's her real character. I just need someone to slap her so hard her teeth rattle when this is all over. I can at least get that Nik is too lazy to just, you know, downsize or get a job to pay for his lavish lifestyle. But Lizzard is doing all this for SEX. She deserves to be the town pariah, the new Carly, after this, and I hope she will be. I don't think there will be too many people in town who won't have issues with her after this.

I thought this was going to drag on. Now that it's over and done with, everyone can focus on working together to shut down Nikolas and Rosalie. Needless to say, it was that reason that I enjoyed the Tracy/Michael/Sabrina/Jake(son)/Sam scenes. 15 Link to comment

I was actually thinking Dillon's movie will be an anvil about him loving Lulu or something. Everyone please stop putting all these ideas out in the universe.

Denise continues to amuse with her inability to be anything approaching subtle w/r/t seeing AJ. And since when is being deprived of one's child such a powerful aphrodisiac? I'm just relieved that Sonny isn't so similarly afflicted. And let me just add to the others who are sad for poor Michael's couches. 7 Link to comment

Sadly, Dillon fits the mumblecore filmmaker profile on so many, many levels. I've had to work on too many of those. Denise/Ava ain't subtle, period! Even before this Addams Family cosplay Ava's always had a terrible poker face where she starts flashing everything but radiation warnings with her crazy eyes, any time she's in trouble! Facial tics, bug eyes, the works! I love MW and I find Ava to be a great character when written well, but the ham levels were already quite elevated without adding all this nonsense.

Bishop June 18, 2015 Share June 18, 2015 I was just texting with my aunt about today's episode and she said she heard 25 and so did my mother, but I totally thought he said 29. I think the truth is Billy Miller flubbed after "twenty-" That's because BM is always mumbling his lines and talking through his teeth. I can't understand him most of the time. I can't believe neither of the brain trusts bothered to think about what Sam does for a living....She IS a PI....Maybe, just maybe that's why she is bugging stuff? If Jake and Mikey get much dumber, Morgan and Kiki might NOT be the town idiots much longer. Jake and Michael weren't dumb. Yeah, Sam is a PI, but why is she bugging Michael's office? Clearly she's doing something behind Michael's back, and it's not for Michael. So naturally he and Jake would be suspicious. It's not like they would know that she's working FOR the Qs. Maxie has two jobs? Laughable. I wish Valerie decked her smug mooching ass. I did like Maxie's dress.. I loved everything about Maxie the other day, and I think KS and DZ were hysterical. I also like that Maxie got in Valerie's face because Maxie was absolutely correct about Valerie's motives. Maxie should know. I would love the ELQ story if it made the slightest bit of sense. Michael is too young to be running the company by himself. AJ, Ned and Tracy should have been part of this story Well Ned and Tracey are the ones that gave away almost half of the company, but I am loving that Michael and Tracey are teaming up to save their company. And yes, I wish Ned were there too (and AJ), but RC let them both walk away (and then he hired more newbies). First Michael's couch at home gets defiled by his parents now his couch at the office gets defiled by Morgan/Ava. Gross. Don't forget that Morgan and Kiki defiled it too. I swear Michael better swear off having couches in any place where he works or lives. Link to comment

Michael was dumb. Why would he EVER think Sam would work against him? Just because she bugged Rosalie's phone without him knowing it doesn't mean she's working against him; it means the fewer people who know what's going on the more likely she'll find something out. "No one said it was going to be my job to [something] your intentions are; what's going on in your little brain." Then Jake pats Sam on the head? Ugh. Way to be condescending to the person who's made the most progress with this ELQ thing. Ava's always had a terrible poker face where she starts flashing everything but radiation warnings with her crazy eyes, any time she's in trouble! Facial tics, bug eyes, the works! Michael is an idiot not to at least wonder why Denise is so aggressive about seeing Avery. Good lord. A fun exchange: Liz: "I'm sorry, I'm distracted; I'm thinking about Jake."Patrick: "Did he get shot again?" Color me shocked Nik made a logical and reasonable offer to Dillon for some of his shares.

DenAva was a moron today. Seriously. Who just barges in to someone's office and hangs up the phone in the middle of a call? Was that supposed to endear her to Michael?

It seemed like Nikolas was "acting" surprised about Luke and Laura leaving. I do think him being in on the kidnapping is a stretch, yet....there's something not quite right about it all.It was like he was waiting to see what they would say when he asked them if they knew anything. He said Laura was supposed to come back and see Spencer, yet he didn't call Lulu to see if she'd seen her? I forget that logic does not apply, but I can't help but think that was a Snidely Whiplash moment. Edited June 19, 2015 by IWantCandy71 1 Link to comment

IWantCandy71 June 19, 2015 Share June 19, 2015 (edited) Honestly, I never cared about Nikolas before, he bored me so. I don't need a brain tumor or anything else, really. I don't feel he needs to be "redeemed" except for maybe the hit on Hayden. I think we need a resident villain, but more along the lines of a Victor Kiriakis/Victor Newman, or really, an Edward Quartermaine, RealEdwardasPlayedByDavidLewis-not JI's version-though I respected JI as an actor. I think most people don't know what a snake original Edward was, because JI just couldn't play that. I do agree the behavior needs to be explained better, but I'm enjoying it. This Nikolas gives no craps. It's refreshing. I'd much rather have a Nik more like a Cassadine. I don't want him to be Stavros evil, but the good guy crap was so dreary. So, not like his daddy and crazy as a bed bug. But also not like his mother and as boring and pointless as the day is long. Something in between. A lot like his Uncle Stefan is okay by me. Speaking of Stefan, *sigh*. I miss him. I could go with them bringing him back as long as he isn't obsessed with Laura anymore. Edited June 19, 2015 by IWantCandy71 2 Link to comment

And yes, I wish Ned were there too (and AJ), but RC let them both walk away (and then he hired more newbies)..I just...So. If this had been the AJ story instead of the relish debacle? You'd have AJ with the company slipping away despite his best efforts because his family keeps fuckin up: Michael who mistakenly trusted Rosalie, Tracy and Ned and Brooke who stupidly gave up shares to protect people they loved and Dillon's mumblecore share swap. Some of this would still be dumb but it would at least feel like a Q story with AJ and Ned in it Having Michael come in and yell at Tracy about family doesn't do much for me because he just became a Q - but with AJ and the weight of their history? The decision to make peace and fight off an outsider with all the Qs banding together against the Prince of Douchey Tides? Would actually be pretty fantastic. Even with the horrible ass SERIAL KILLER and WE NEVER CARED (-2) in the mix, that could be compelling soap. But Ned is gone, Michael is a child, AJ is dead, Tracy doesn't have a position in the company and I don't have any attachment to Dollar Store Dillon so all I can focus on are the holes in the plot and the piss poor motivations Edited June 19, 2015 by Oracle42 5 Link to comment

This is too much character assassination! I did like how the Sam reveal didn't last weeks.

Kim0820 June 19, 2015 Share June 19, 2015 Ava is so stupid and irritating. Does she not realize how lucky she is Michael is too dumb to question how desperate she is? And the whining, as if she is not doing a scheme that would logically take time. Pretending to be her own twin sister and succeeding, where everything thinks she is a aunt who is a stranger, would mean that she knows she has to worm her way in over time. The sensible thing to do would be go along with the supervised visits at first. Her speech to the portrait of Edward was sublimely ridiculous. What does Edward have to do with it? The Qs are not in the least doing anything wrong with the facts as they see it as as Ava set it up herself to be. 4 Link to comment
