testardo August 5, 2015 Share August 5, 2015 Isn't it about time for another catastrophic disaster that changes Port Charles forever? That would be an ideal way of getting rid of some of the useless baggage on the show -- kill them off in said disaster. I am not talking about just one or two characters either. Silas, Franco, Nina, Ava, Kiki, Dr. O, Madeleine, Valerie, Sloane. They could be in the Floating Rib or Kelly's when it explodes from a gas leak. I'd love to add Sam and Sonny to that list because she never shuts up and all he does is mumble, but I know the show will keep those two bores around until the cows come home and the fat lady sings. A drastically reduced cast would help the show immensely. They could all be dead, buried under the rubble. Then new people can come on to dig out the bodies and start over again. Emma could be in Paris with Anna and Robin, Michael could be away and the rest of the show gone. We could start over. A new soap. 2 Link to comment
HeatLifer August 12, 2015 Share August 12, 2015 When they showed Liz/Sam hug and Patrick/Jase shake hands today, I was like, "And that's the last time that will ever happen!" I really think those relationships (not that Patty and Jase ever had one) will be done for-evah. 1 Link to comment
HeatLifer August 12, 2015 Share August 12, 2015 Because when Jason punches Patrick in his nose for shitting on Robin, it'll be hard to repair that bro connection. 1 Link to comment

Lillybee August 12, 2015 Share August 12, 2015 Speaking of weddings, do we think that Snarly and Sonny are planning a huge wedding because nothing says true love like the fifth wedding. Of course, Snarly will be wearing a white sexy wedding dress. Just how many weddings do those crazy kids have between. Link to comment
WendyCR72 August 12, 2015 Share August 12, 2015 So, assuming that spoiler of Hayden spilling the Borg secret to Patrick is true, I guess we'll get the Proposal of Utter Desperation soon and the wedding or weddings in November? Do we have to wait another three months to end this Jason shit? Really?! 1 Link to comment

I'm guessing Ms/Mrs. Wu is Brad's aunt or grandmother and Rosalie is a Soleito. Good guess. I don't think that it's a green card marriage and I'm hoping it isn't, I'm pretending not to be gay marriage. It's 20-freaking-15. As others have said, Brad and Rosalie would have to keep closer tabs on each other, if it were a green card or beard marriage. Link to comment

TeeVee329 August 15, 2015 Share August 15, 2015 That's what I'm saying, I can see it being a green card thing or an arranged marriage, but not seeing the set-up for mob interference (though I'm sure Ron forgot what he wrote when this storyline started 8 million years ago). Link to comment

I don't think Ron remembers either. He was setting up that is was some big secret with his adopted parents (possibly didn't know he was gay) then swerved and made him married to a woman. Did Brad ever meet Helena? Maybe she forced him to marry Rosalie because...reasons? Link to comment

I'm guessing Ms/Mrs. Wu is Brad's aunt or grandmother and Rosalie is a Soleito. Or Ms. Wu is Brad's "aunt" and really his mother. Rosalie as a Solito is most probable, especially since she was taking to her father when she had the picnic with Morgan backintheday. Speculation is that he's Paul Hornsby. Wild speculation is she's the Click!Boom Baby of Sonny and Scarface!Lily. A live Lily would mean all those Sonny/Carly marriages (including this one) are invalid. 1 Link to comment

SlovakPrincess August 19, 2015 Share August 19, 2015 A nice way to fix Liz might be as follows: Jason starts mumbling in his sleep about Helena, and how Robin helped him, and where is she, and she must be in trouble ... And Liz hears this, horrified, and realizes that she has to tell the truth and basically confess all about Jason, because something bad did happen or is happening to her friend Robin. It doesn't excuse Liz's actions, but she would come to her senses and sort of "turn herself in" because she realizes someone might need help and Jason is the key. 2 Link to comment
jsbt August 19, 2015 Share August 19, 2015 I strongly suspect that at one point either Sabrina or Rosalie, or both at different points, were considered to be Lily's child. I think that idea was floating around a long time and I don't think Ron ever fully gave up on it. I think it's gone with him now, though. I don't think it's necessarily a horrible idea to dovetail Brad's secret into a potential Asian Quarter underworld angle - we all had a hunch that Rosalie was connected to organized crime. I just can't find it in myself to bother to care about Rosalie or her secret after over a year. She's pointless. Link to comment

dubbel zout August 24, 2015 Share August 24, 2015 Has there ever been as many useless characters as there are now? I can deal with characters I don't like, because that's what happens with ensemble casts, and that number is usually limited. But in the current cast, there's Franco, Lauren, Madeline, Obrecht, Nina, and I'd argue that Scott, Ric, and Patrick aren't moving along the stories they're in. There are always going to be some stories I don't like, and again, that's part of soaps. But none of the stories involving the characters I listed are telling a story. There's no point. Even as an umbrella story, Silas was not a large enough presence to warrant the attention his death is getting, and the larger canvas isn't going to care or be affected by the reveal. Why is Nathan still trying to figure out who kidnapped Avery? It doesn't matter. Plus, the culprit is, you know, dead. The ONLY current story that remotely affects more than its participants is the Jakeson secret, and that reveal shows no signs of happening soon. The rest will have no ripple effects whatsoever. 5 Link to comment

Just have TJ witness something unsettling while staying at Sonny's, and he realizes that, no matter how much he loves Shawn or how "cool" Sonny is to him, the mob is inherently bad, and it's pretty awesome that his mother is brave enough to take that on and try to keep everyone in town safer. 5 Link to comment
