It was her seventh. That's really rough. And at 49, she's facing long odds at every stage.

Sweet Jesus, I thought it was only her second! How terrible. 

[WendyCR72]

I'm sorry about VM. It's clear she wants more children. With time not on her side, though, I wonder if she has considered a surrogate? I realize some women want to carry their own children, but she'd still get her baby!

In any case, good luck to her going forward.

As for Maurice Benard re-upping? Big fat yawn. And how nice he gets to stay on contract while Genie Francis - who was half the couple that MADE this damned show - is drop kicked.

Dear GH Intern, it's Bobbie and Tony. I guess they should be grateful for a mention at all, but really? Spell the names right!

I'm going with -  he has DID because his mom's boyfriend molested him, and all of his SERIAL KILLING was done by his alter Danco. Also, My Two Dads pushed Drew down the stairs to convince Franco not to tell - so poor, poor Franco expressed his bad touch pain by serial murdering random innocent people, orchestrating the rape of another young boy and pretend raping Jason's wife because he was obsessed with Jason. Also, TUMORS!

And yet, I find I still have no fucks to give! Sorry, Frank! Better luck crafting another Franco sob story.

[Hater]

No talk of Vicki Dummer, ABC executive changing her profile to a picture with Burton and then getting dragged for it?  She took it down.  

[LexieLily]

They are getting dragged for everything they do or post. I think it's great!

[Cheyanne11]

It's funny: Laura, Kirsten, and Finola all have pics of each other in NYC and Laura is the only one who doesn't tag the others' names--almost like she doesn't want to take any attention from herself.  Very Carly-esque.

LW is incredibly smug.  She thinks very very highly of herself.

[Sake614]

Daytime confidential is reporting that MB just renewed his contract. Guess that explains why genie had to go. ?

[ulkis]

I don't think they had anything to do with each other.

Gah! Okay, so I’m half-drunk (make that fully drunk) tonight, and i’m Sitting on something I cannot say. 

 

but I can confirm that this is 100% true. Trust me. Seriously.

You don't even have to say it.  You can JUST tell.  

[Francie]

Crap, to leave up or edit with a n/m? 

I’ll just say that I don’t think LW is malevolent.  Or mean-spirited. But she has a toddler’s sense of self and others. And that’s not to say she’s simple minded. She’s not. No brainiac, either, but not dumb as a door post dumb.  But she has absolutely no sense that the world does not revolve around her. And not in a grandiose way but in a sincere “what? You’re not interested in what happened to me during spring break of 1992? That’s not riveting to you?”

 

There are a couple types of people whom we all sit next to on planes. There’s me, who’d prefer to pretend that you don’t exist and I’d prefer it if you’d pretend that I don’t exist, either.  Then there are the people who chat you up. And of those, there are two subgroups. There’s subgroup A, where they ask you questions about yourself and engage in a back and forth. And there’s subgroup B, who seizes on this opportunity, and they truly believe, they are bringing entertainment to your world by talking about themselves wholly and completely.  Because if they are the most fascinating person to themselves, they can’t conceive why you wouldn’t think they are the most fascinating person on the planet as well.

Re: Genie Francis/Laura. Something that I don't think we've discussed is Laura's hospital board seat. It's not a good look for the frame of the writing that of all the characters that would have wanted Laura's seat on the board, TPTB chose Valentin. The unrepentant murderer that murdered Laura's son, shot her husband, and stole her grandchild, and has never once apologized or shown remorse to Laura or Lulu for any of those things.

And no moobsters in sight in the 1977 cast photo...mostly doctors...WTF?!?

Brad's (who?) back:

Does someone need lab results switched out again?  I mean, what over reason could there be for him to come back? /sarcasm

[TeeVee329]

Someone has to mean to Dr. Michael Easton so one of his many admirers can pat him on the shoulder?

It may not be a good look, but I kind of appreciate the call back to when Stefan had been in town only a short time before he undermined the hospital, bankrupted it and shut it down, and then melodramatically announced himself as the new Chairman (or whatever.) I like a little Cassadine hospital chicanery. 

[Auntie Velvet]

I see via the Twitter machine that Tristan Rogers has gotten screwed over somehow at Y&R...maybe at some point in the future Robert can actually turn up in Port Charles since he's already pulling so many strings for Anna's investigation anyway.

[TheMediaHo]

Not sure where to post this, but here goes...yesterday, the GH Facebook page posted something about the "doctor's" working on all the wounded in the ER. I pointed out that someone who misuses the apostrophe should not be posting anything work-related. Within 30 minutes, I was being figuratively bitch-slapped by the anti-grammar police. I was asked who pissed in my Cheerios (classy) and if I had taken extra bitch pills that morning (classy again). After a while, I reminded myself that the GH FB page is largely made up of rabid Sonny-worshippers. So, I guess if my comment had been along the lines of "Only Sonny would be clueless enough to put an apostrophe where it doesn't belong," I would have been hunted down with pitchforks. Be forewarned: do not engage with rabid types!

[dubbel zout]

Years ago I bought a self-published book via Amazon, and it was so riddled with typos and bad grammar that I returned it. I was annoyed enough to write a review and mention the fact that the author seemed to not even use spell check, and I was inundated with replies that I was too picky, anal retentive, etc. All for expecting barely minimum readable standards.

Too many people don't know when to use "I" and when to use "me," so I'm not surprised apostrophes are also beyond their ken.

“Michael Easton was Silas Clay when I first came on the show. Now, he’s Dr. Hamilton Finn. I’ve seen people come back!”

 

LOL So true and he was McBane before that. 

I enjoyed his character, I wish him well and luck.

[dubbel zout]

Likely a UO, but I never thought RP was so terrible. He’ll never be mistaken for one of the greats, but at least he always made an effort.

And don't forget that horrendous vampire redo.....Caleb Morley.  

I'm wondering what the name of his 5th character will be, cuz you know it's gonna happen.

[TeeVee329]

Because what the show needs is more characters and more Corinthii...

Why, why, WHY is this necessary?  Doesn't Sonny have enough people blowing smoke up his ass???

[Sake614]

Oh FFS! I like Max Gail but we don't need Sonny's father showing up. Or any other Corinthii!

[statsgirl]

I guess the response to SBu coming back was such that it convinced them that what the show needs is more emphasis on the mob parts  of it. FFS

Now Sonny has someone around he can blame for all his ish, and Mike usually sits there and takes it. UGH.

[Oracle42]

Well, newer viewers don't understand that Sonny gets a lifetime pass on being a shitty person because Deke and closets and Saint Adela *all the eyerolls*

I would bet Benard cried about not having a story...hence Mike.

A paycheck is a paycheck. But damn. Is a Mike Corbin resurrection necessary? Oh, right. More Sonny ass licking.

[Asp Burger]

I think it's absolutely essential to bring Mike Corbin back, because when Ron Hale had the part, there were not enough scenes of Mike apologizing for being such a poor father and missing all those years. Also, the topic of Adela and Deke has not been examined in a long time. Now that Maurice has re-upped, maybe he can have a monologue about being put in the closet, and who better to make sympathetic noises during the (lengthy) pauses than the recast Mike?

We've never heard about this!  I'm hoping we get many, many scenes of MB monologue-ing about his hidden pain.  #WatchOutBarware

[dubbel zout]

There could be a story for Mike, but Sonny is such a shithead son that I don't want to watch him continually berate Mike for all of his moral failings: gambling, Adela and Deke, etc. It's gross.

[Oracle42]

Mike also never shot Sonny in the chest or landed him in a wheelchair with a careless car bomb. Mike's parenting also didn't result in Sonny spending (SORAS) years in a coma. 

[dubbel zout]

Sonny is such a selfish jerk. He can make all the mistakes in the world, but Jasus forbid someone else make one that affects him. Unforgivable! Betrayal! He has no empathy for anyone. And this is our leading man. 

The way he treated Anna yesterday was so disgusting. Sonny is so hellbent on finding Heinrich for his own purposes that he's willing to cross Anna without a second thought. She's just in the way, and she's a woman, all emotional and weak.
