sacrebleu June 24, 2015 Share June 24, 2015 I'm not going to comment on the stupidity of the ELQ or the Dante/Lulu stories because it hurts my brain to give them much thought. WTF is up with Sonny taking TJ in? He just lost his daughter because everyone knows kids in his general vicinity get shot at/kidnapped/terrorized/ so, as a favor to Shawn, he's signing TJ up for the Corinthos House of Horrors and Broken Barware? Also, there were far too many cuts to Nic directly after Jennifer/Luke/Laura were talking about who has Lucky. I suspect Nic may have gone full on dark, and kidnapped his own brother for... reasons. (Why he would want L&L out of the way I don't know, maybe to distract Tracy?) 14 Link to comment

He just lost his daughter because everyone knows kids in his general vicinity get shot at/kidnapped/terrorized/ so, as a favor to Shawn, he's signing TJ up for the Corinthos House of Horrors and Broken Barware? It's what he does. Takes in boys who are either estranged from their family or mad at them. To wit: i.e. Exhibit A.: Stone (estranged from Jagger and living on the streets). Exhibit B.: Jason--mad at his family, because they wanted Jason Quartermaine back. Exhibit C.: Lucky-mad at Luke and Laura, after Laura's rape reveal (Midgety Moobster then put him in that building that was set on fire and "killed" Lucky). Did I miss anyone?

Oracle42 June 24, 2015 Share June 24, 2015 (edited) So I know the Awkward Dinner of Guilt was about showcasing Liz's Crazy Eyes but the dialogue for Sam was just ridiculous.She just got finished talking to people about the yeeeeears she spent as a con artist so all the hand wringing and pearl clutching about Nik "breaking the law" should've cone from someone else.She was absolutely right to throw Emily in Nik's face and call him out on his lack of loyalty. Everything she said to him was dead on - everything afterwards should've come from someone else or should've been about how it was out of character and less about moral outrage Edited June 25, 2015 by Oracle42 8 Link to comment

Fellaway June 24, 2015 Share June 24, 2015 (edited) Today's episode was an exercise in frustration for me, from start to finish, and a prime example of how not to write a riveting soap opera. Was there one plotline not advanced without primary impetus from cliche, contrivance, absurdity, stupidity, or out-of-characterness? I seriously wanted to throttle Lucy! I was hoping her vote was because Nicholas had something on her, i.e. the great ballot box heist or the disappearance of Sigmund the 3rd, but nooooo... Lucy Coe - Lucy Coe - thinks Michael needs to "grow up" and get more experience and wisdom before embarking on a career as CEO of ELQ. Nevermind the company is flourishing under his hand, he has the confidence of his family, he's shed himself of his criminal and crazy family members and girlfriends, he and his cohorts ferreted out the snakes in their midst, he's in a new and good relationship with one of Lucy's very own BFFs, he's raising A.J. and well... (And if one more person ever complains about his taking A.J. from Sonny, I want Michael to promptly launch into the litany of harm brought to the children of Sonny Corinthos because they are the children of Sonny Corinthos.) Michael is the one who needs to grow up, Lucy? Who made her the arbiter of Michael's destiny anyway? And why do they keep calling her vote the tie-breaker? It's a stalemate breaker, at best, unless they're trying to tell us ELQ had 101% stock. Edited June 24, 2015 by Fellaway 18 Link to comment

testardo June 24, 2015 Share June 24, 2015 I hope that Sonny doesn't take advantage of TJ the way he took advantage of a young brain damaged Jason. I know that TJ isn't brain damaged but he is so dumb, he may as well be. Sonny not only took advantage of brain damaged Jason, but also Karen and It makes me sick when people say he was so good to Stone. Yea sure .he made the teen a runner for the mob, and tried to make Karen a pole dancer, when she balked he said she enjoyed being molested as a child. If this keeps up, TJ can room with Shawn again in prison. 7 Link to comment

Bishop June 24, 2015 Share June 24, 2015 (edited) What is everyone smoking on this show lately? Lucy Coe, who supposedly adored Edward, just gave his company to a Cassadine? And why? Because Michael was mean to poor whittle Duke? Because Michael outsmarted Sonny to get Avery - who is a happy, healthy baby right now? Really Lucy? Really??? It's too stupid for words, and I am worried that Michael and Tracey were taking the loss as a defeat. They BETTER be in fighting spirit after the shock wears off because my fear is that RC is going to make Nikolas the new head of ELQ while Michael does what? Plays house with Sabrina? Forgives Sonny? It better be that he teams up with Tracey to get back the company. Dante and Lulu are also smoking the glue. So Lulu is just going to leave PC with Dillon, and leaving her baby boy, and no one is going to ask questions? Dante is suddenly suspicious of an affair with Dillon based on homewrecker Valerie's quiet manipulations? Dante would have confronted Lulu, not slinked into the shadows. What was the purpose of Jennifer and Luke's almost sexcapade? Is it just so that RC can bring back Jennifer Smith? "Look everyone, See what I did? I brought back some Luke history." The icing on the cake beyond the stupidity of Lucy Coe (and that was huge) was the newly christened Police Commissioner telling the new girl every single thing about her personal life. WTF?

dubbel zout June 24, 2015 Share June 24, 2015 Someone said maybe the person who has Lucky is also blackmailing Nikolas. That would be good. It's the only reason that would make sense. There's no way "the Qs didn't love Emily, so I'm going to take down ELQ" makes any sense at any time. Michael & Tracy continue to be amazing. This is the relationship I wanted AJ & Tracy to have, but Chad & Jane are so awesome together that ill "settle" for this! How many times have we said that the Qs united against an outsider is so much more interesting than the Qs squabbling among themselves? What was the purpose of Jennifer and Luke's almost sexcapade? Is it just sot hat RC can bring back Jennifer Smith? "Look everyone, See what I did? I brought back some Luke history." Yes. Sonny's "My hands are clean when it comes to the hit on your mother" was laughable. Duke might have been in charge, but it's not as if Sonny gave it all away. The Lulu/Dante story is just aggravating enough that it might be my substitute rage blackout. News flash, Lulu: If you don't want to keep lying to Dante, don't keep lying to Dante. News flash, Dante: If you want to know what's going on with Lulu, ask her. So Valerie thinks bribery is a good thing because it helped someone she thinks got a raw deal? It certainly didn't take her long to get her Port Charles Situational Ethics card. Why can't TJ live above Kelly's? I doubt Luke or Bobbie would mind. I really don't like Jordan's ombré hair. What did they do to it? Her curls were absolutely glorious. Once again, every time I think the show can't get any stupider, it manages to do exactly that. 10 Link to comment

jsbt June 25, 2015 Share June 25, 2015 (edited) I've actually enjoyed a lot about the ELQ story and hope to continue doing so - the Q's uniting and scheming together, Sam actually doing a real job, Jake/Jason among the Q's as one of them, Michael and Tracy and Sabrina. What drags it down and hurts it badly is dumb plot-driven shit like Lucy's choice, or shoehorning staff favorites Franco and Nina into it, or inundating it with annoying guest players (Sloane) and then having so much of it take place offscreen ("I just blackmailed half the family - we're still on track!"). There are ways to fix the bad parts with more care taken, but it's easily the most wholly interesting storyline I've seen on this show in, uh, awhile. Why? Because it uses a longtime family in a longtime family business, and all those inter-connections of characters and history, and it's taken chances with the new Jason in a way they should've months ago. (And may not have done, if not for alleged rewrites killing the deeply boring Undercover Jake with Julian vs. Sonny nonsense.) Also, I know the budget is tight, but I'm sorry, the fucking 'board meeting' should not be four or five people on some couches in the corner like y'all are chilling at the Southwest Airlines departure lounge!

cmahorror June 25, 2015 Share June 25, 2015 Between Lucy, the weirdness with Luke, and Dante instabelieving that Lulu is sleeping with Dillon, this is such a weird episode. It's like I'm watching an alternate universe fanfic. Not to mention Nikolas' on-going streak of evildom. Hey! As a fanfic writer I'm offended - there is no way in hell the crap with Luke, Lucy or Dante would ever cross my mind let alone my fanfic. As for Nikolas, I called that one last year and if he goes after Robin, I'm suing lol. He's a Cassadine - the family history is there and at least it isn't beyond believability that he would go evil it's just the execution and reasons for it that are ridiculous. 3 Link to comment

If it really is that reason, then I've gotta gawk at how stupid that is, especially considering how Tracy and Michael (IMO, quite awesomely) shot down each of her reasons. I got the impression that it was blackmail when Lucy said to Nik something to the effect of "I was only supposed to vote to keep you on the board." I really can't remember the exact wording, but it was clear, to me, that she was acting under some kind of duress from Nik there. Either that or LH feels like this shit makes absolutely no sense at all, and she's adding her own layers to it in her performance. It's the only reason that would make sense. There's no way "the Qs didn't love Emily, so I'm going to take down ELQ" makes any sense at any time. If this isn't tied into the Lucky kidnapping, and it is just Nik being a douchebag, I hope that, when Lucky eventually resurfaces, he reams Nik out for betraying Em's memory by using her as an excuse to steal the company of the family she loved. 6 Link to comment
Turtle June 25, 2015 Share June 25, 2015 After all the nice things I said about the last couple of episodes, this is the thanks I get? Hated today. I refuse to comment on the Sonny, TJ, and Jordan situation. Just can't. I know it's for plot reasons but couldn't they even make an attempt to have Dante and Lulu act in character? Given the relationship I've seen over the years, Lulu would never keep this secret from Dante, and he sure as hell wouldn't creep around spying on her just based on the word of someone he barely knows- he'd ask his damn wife about it. All I'm asking for is a little bit of effort, writers. Was it only Monday that I was enjoying the ELQ story? How long ago it seems. And just like that, Michael's gone and Nik is CEO? That was quick. And sad. Stupid illogical out-of-character Lucy. 7 Link to comment
