dubbel zout July 14, 2014 Share July 14, 2014 Yeah, it's all in service to the character, not logic of any sort. Link to comment
LeftPhalange July 14, 2014 Share July 14, 2014 If this is all Lulu and Dante are going to do then I'm ready for them to leave. Sonny could at least have the decency to murder Franco and frame Ava. Maxie needs to be slapped. Even in death Rafe is useless. 2 Link to comment
twoods July 14, 2014 Share July 14, 2014 Well there was a throw in line that Kiki said about how Silas talked to her and Rafe about the importance of organ donating which is why they both are one. It was more the sensitivity of just finding out that Rafe is dead and he is still grieving while being asked about Rafe's heart. Great, Franco and Nina are BFF. More ff material. 1 Link to comment

CPP83 July 14, 2014 Share July 14, 2014 All the children adore Franco. Oh, okay, now I like him. Why didn't Carlivati drop in that tidbit before? I would have liked Franco so much sooner, so much more!* Oh that reminds me...they're letting a former serial killer work around children. They are letting a former serial killer work with kids, in the pediatric ward, a former serial killer because it can't be said enough times. He killed people, he did a whole slew of unspeakable things, unforgivable things, and he's now teaching little Johnny and Mary Anne how to paint a "field of feelings" for art projects...a former serial killer! My brain almost melted, this show forces you to stop thinking and processing information in logical ways or else you'll just end up looking like Levi. 11 Link to comment
backhometome July 14, 2014 Share July 14, 2014 Poor Rocco. His parents have him for 5 mins and already want to move on to another baby. Dante/Lulu are so annoying. Why don't you just enjoy the baby you already have. 1 Link to comment
TeeVee329 July 14, 2014 Share July 14, 2014 I hate it, but I get that Doctor Obrecht is, for whatever reason, a Franco fan and that she is clearly the last person to bat an eye at crazy people working in the medical field. But does she really think art foundations or whatever will be showering her and the hospital with accolates for hiring a SERIAL KILLER? Girl, you trippin'. And how about just a dash of realism and show at least some parents refusing to let their children around a SERIAL KILLER. It would give Franco the excuse to make a frowny face and you know the show loves that. 8 Link to comment
CPP83 July 14, 2014 Share July 14, 2014 Then Carly can come running to his rescue shrieking, "The tumor made him do it you bastards, stop judging my baby!" Although I must say, has she been as stupid and clueless as she was today when she told, actually told, Sonny that Franco was mere seconds away from telling Michael he killed AJ? Because yeah, he had just threatened to kill the guy so let's tell him that the very reason he thinks he needs to kill him, he'll tell Michael the truth, almost happened but she stepped in just in time so Sonny should be totally cool about it and Franco won't ever, never ever do it again, he pinky swore and everything! I need another virus to hit town, pronto, and start wiping some of these fuckers out. 7 Link to comment
TeeVee329 July 14, 2014 Share July 14, 2014 Serial Drama's Mallory took the words right out of my mouth! Franco being hired at GH would be tolerable* if we were given a few scenes of horrified parents screaming "But he's a serial killer!" in all of his work scenes. *Just kidding, nothing about Franco will ever be tolerable. But if we're stuck with him, I'd at least like some people to flee in horror. --M. 5 Link to comment
Ambrosefolly July 14, 2014 Share July 14, 2014 But if people weren't all eggshell-y about asking Silas about donating Rafe's heart to Alice, then they wouldn't be able to laud him as a great, noble, just all-around awesome guy! He doesn't have to donate any of the organs to anyone in Port Charles. He can be a slight dick about by donating the heart to a boy or girl Rafe's age or a young mother. When Morgan, Michael and Kik bitch about how he denied Alice a heart, he can point out that the heart did save someone's life who had been waiting a long time. Aren't people on the list for years to get organs? I am sure if Alice had to get in line for a new heart, she would be waiting a while. Oh that reminds me...they're letting a former serial killer work around children. They are letting a former serial killer work with kids, in the pediatric ward, a former serial killer because it can't be said enough times. I volunteer at a grief support organization overseen by a hospital network. I went through 20 hours of training before I could even meet with the participates. When one of the other volunteers showed the slightest bit of crazy, she was asked to leave. Even therapy dogs are required to get additional training if they are interacting with children in a hospital. I have looked up art therapist and it requires a masters in art therapy, not being just a working artist. 4 Link to comment
CPP83 July 14, 2014 Share July 14, 2014 I have looked up art therapist and it requires a masters in art therapy, not being just a working artist. But this is Franco we're talking about, and his little toolbox (really show?), he has a heart of gold and a desire to help people so that takes care of any actual training, preparation, schooling, police record, crimes against humanity, psychosis, etc. He's a good guy now, it's been over six months since he thought he stabbed his own mother to death and then buried her alive, no need to harbor grudges against the poor man or hold his past against him. 8 Link to comment
One Tough Cookie July 14, 2014 Share July 14, 2014 so I skipped today--is Rafe dead or alive? Link to comment
KerleyQ July 14, 2014 Share July 14, 2014 Aren't people on the list for years to get organs? I am sure if Alice had to get in line for a new heart, she would be waiting a while. It would depend on the severity of her condition. From what I understand, someone who is going to die imminently would get bumped up higher on the list than someone who has maybe been on the list longer, but isn't in as severe condition. So it's not just a straight forward "first come first served" kind of wait list, but a lot of factors can go into where someone is on the list. I wasn't this annoyed by Maxie scenes when she was saddled to that waste of space Spinelli. Congratulations, Ron, you've found someone who makes me look back fondly on the Spixie hell. Where's Shawn trying to shoot someone standing 5 feet away from Levi when we need him? 2 Link to comment
ulkis July 14, 2014 Share July 14, 2014 (edited) I just saw the previews. ugh. Maxie really, really super has a lot of nerve getting all pissy with Dante and Mac. Glad their (well at least Dante's) reflect that. I mean, seriously, let's say they did make the phone call . . . what's she gonna do? Sue them? Not speak to them again? Dante won't care and that would just be downright hurtful to do to Mac. Edited July 14, 2014 by ulkis 4 Link to comment
pitchy July 14, 2014 Share July 14, 2014 (edited) I think if I had a serial killer daddy who killed my crazy mom in my face and said mom dragged me around like a hand bag and then I had to live with his boring ass twin, I'd be doing drugs too. Or drinking a lot... And it's not just that. He also ended up needing to kill his own father to end the general theat of his crazy dad to all. After a short lifetime of running from place to place with his only contact, his mother, who was rightly concerned that his father would find them, he was written as having to watch her be murdered by him and then to kill his own father. That's of course a background and life that would make a youngster who should easily know how to handle the rest of his life and have a scintillating, self-confident presence. We know one good thing in his life -- his mother taught him to read some good books, and that was the point of connection for Molly and Rafe. As a child without social connections always interrupted by his mother's feeling the need to move them again to another place where they couldn't be found, he over-valued that one good connection after witnessing his mother's murder by his father, whom he then killed. I don't remember even a story line about counseling for him.. Edited July 15, 2014 by pitchy 2 Link to comment
yowsah1 July 14, 2014 Share July 14, 2014 I wonder--has Ron been made aware of how immensely unpopular this guy is? I have learned the hard way that just because a character is unpopular to various message boards doesn't mean they are unpopular to the viewing audience as a whole. And I frankly think that if RC was told, "A bunch of ex-TWoP posters hates thios character", his response would be, "Good". OK people I have a nasty sick feeling in my soul that Dunkledoufus *love the name* is Sly Eckert. I keep hearing persistent rumors that he is the son Mac Scorpio never knew he had. That possibility is terrifying. 3 Link to comment
Sake614 July 15, 2014 Share July 15, 2014 I don't think ANYONE likes Levi except Ron. I've checked some other boards, including those with posters who generally think the show is great, Ron is the second coming and love all the camp. Not one of them has any use for Levi. Of course that doesn't mean he isn't popular with the non-message board viewers, but I just think GH should cut its losses and save us the agony of having to watch him... 2 Link to comment
tvgoddess July 15, 2014 Share July 15, 2014 I am thisclose to turning this shit off forever and heading to the barge, so you guys better move over and make some room.

peachmangosteen July 15, 2014 Share July 15, 2014 I don't hate Levi. I mean I wouldn't say I like him, but I find him entertaining honestly. I don't know, I enjoyed this episode. I'm back to being able to watch it as a comedy so it's kinda fun. I mean Hallucination!Rafe saying, "You think it's a reflex now, BITCH" was truly amazing to me. Link to comment
MSquared July 15, 2014 Share July 15, 2014 Oh, they are so going with Carson. I can't with Dr O mooning over Franco. And Carly just said no one screws with our family and gets away with it. Haha, expect for the woman who is screwing someone who screwed with her family. I hate when they give Easton long emotional bits. He sucks at them. When Sonny starts making sense, it's time to call it quits with your boo, sweetie. Oh god pu-leeeeze Franco, you don't think a whiff of the people you've killed, the lives you've destroyed. If you did, you'd stay the hell away from anyone connected to Michael or Jason, nit fucking their mother/friend. Why are they making Maxie so fucking blind to the manipulations of Levi? Why must all women be made so damn stupid by these guys? DAIF Carly! Not just with covering Sonny's ass but with covering for Franco. Yeah, I actually get that Sonny's pissed that Franco nearly ratted him out. I'd be pissed and threatening if I was nearly ratted out too. But Sonny, for the love of God, if you are going to threaten, follow through!!!! 1 Link to comment
CPP83 July 15, 2014 Share July 15, 2014 I keep hearing persistent rumors that he is the son Mac Scorpio never knew he had. That possibility is terrifying. I can't even see what the point would be to pin Mac down with that dweeb of a kid because he doesn't even get much airtime as is. Look at Scotty, for all that carrying on about him being Franco's new "Daddy" where is he? What has it done for Scott to be that freak's dad, no new story line involving Franco or really anyone else has manifested, I think he's had less scenes since actually, which to me just proves that Ron has the attention span of a two year old, he never follows through with anything or gives purpose to any of his ideas beyond the first couple of weeks at best. Oh look, Levi's Mac's son, who would have guessed anddddddd...bored now, that's what would happen, and that'd be the best possible outcome imo. Link to comment

Reo July 15, 2014 Share July 15, 2014 (edited) I can't imagine Mac being anything as other than unenthusiastic about Levi as a new son. Mac already sees him for the manipulative ass that he is. And if Levi knows Mac is daddy dearest, why is he deliberately sexing up his sister? Maybe Maxie isn't Mac's blood but she is his daughter. Hope this isn't the way it's going. I have enough good will for Mac, and Felicia, too, to want them to be happy, even if it's kinda in the background. They've been through so much, let them enjoy life with each other a bit. I like them best in small doses, but I want high quality small doses (and seldom get it). I'm okay with them running a gathering spot as long as they get to occasionally interact with people coming in to share inappropriate secrets in public places. I especially enjoy the long relationship Mac and Kevin have had as besties and I would like to see more of it. Edited July 15, 2014 by Reo Link to comment
P3pp3rb1rd July 15, 2014 Share July 15, 2014 Maxie was always this dumb. She married Matt to keep him out if prison. She was with spinmouth ,How long. She was up Jasons butt helping the mob, while her father-uncle Mac was the police commissioner ? No respect for the job. She gets pregnant, and lies through her teeth forever. Sure this was an accident but she did hurt her best friend. Kirsten I like , the actress is fine, but the character is a ditz and that's a compliment.She's too stupid to come out of the rain. I still think it is possible that Levi ratted himself out to immigration to have an excuse to marry Maxie for his green card. If I were Nathan, I'd see the handwriting on the wall. Maxie can't figure out that Levi kept her from getting her baby back. But she can't figure out that Nathan wasn't lying about revealing Levi's immigration status. She's the real brain-dead one in PC. If Rafe has somehow become a vampire, will Alice become one too when she gets his heart? Olivia was really fueling Lulu's babie rabies today. It is so none of Olivia's business when Dante decides to have another baby. Wish she would get a life of her own and quit messing in theirs. The soft lighting in Rafe's room really made Nina look younger. 1 Link to comment

bannana July 15, 2014 Share July 15, 2014 I don't care if it makes no sense, once the PP litigation is over, Silas can leave town (although I don't find him a snooze, I do like him) and McBain can come back from his assignment. I just don't think the Sam/Silas storyline has been built up strongly. As much as I love the KeMo/ME chemistry and I do still feel it with Sam and Silas, the story, the arc, the drama and tension was soooooooo good with Sam and McBain, and sadly it's just not there with Sam and Silas. And furthermore, McBain just fit so well in the canvas, not just with her, but with so many other characters as well. I was thinking this the other day. Except that now they have linked Silas to Lauren, and potentially to Nina if Lauren is hers. But it would be great if Sam and Silas fizzled out and one day McBain just showed up. 2 Link to comment
