Spoilers and Speculation: Clink Boom and Cheese Fondue

[KerleyQ]

Next week's spoilers: http://tvsourcemagazine.com/2016/04/general-hospital-spoilers-april-4-8-2016-edition/

 

 

By fuckin' who?  And oh, it makes me sad to see Anna lumped in with Sonny.

 

 

I guess they really are trying to chem test these two.  ...why?

 

I genuinely fear that the answer to that last question is tied to the line above it.  I will shoot my TV if they put Anna with the moobster.  Shoot it dead. I may wander the neighborhood shooting everyone else's TV, too.  

[peachmangosteen]

If they put Anna with Sonny I'm out. I'm genuinely and truly out.

The sad thing is, I don't think they even realize that they've ruined / are (possibly) about to ruin Anna (even more).   Or why what they've done with her over the last few years and are now (possibly) doing is pissing off the fans who remember and care about what a unique character she used to be.  Or that Sonny is just plain fucking terrible and he is not "cool" for fuck's sake!  He's not and he never was, and even if he was kind of hot in an edgy way decades ago, he is completely ridiculous and played out at this point.  

 

Ugh.  Anyway.  I can't imagine Laura Wright taking this quietly, though, since what is Carly supposed to do without glomming onto Sonny at this point?  Her children are terrible and boring, nobody really cares what she does for "work" (i.e., running a hotel where she barges in on her guests all the time), and she has no feasible romantic options right now (unless they stick her with Michael Easton's character so she can loom over him - HA HA HA HA!)

That's the worst part of the whole thing, if they do go there.  Carly will ultimately "win," and Anna will be another Alexis notch on Sonny's bedpost - a stop on the way right back to Carly.  And we'll be reminded that Carly is sooooooo much better than Anna.  

[IWantCandy71]

 

But yeah, we agree on the larger point - the show isn't properly investing in Dillon.  His role as a Lante spoiler fizzled out quickly, the show's only so interested in the Q's, he has no romantic interest (though that's preferably to the RUMORS about Kiki heading his way), so he's just kinda floating pointlessly.  Dropping Scott Clifton back in wouldn't fix any of that.

 

Not only would it not magically fix it, I get that feeling in my bones that SC coming back would be a great example of "be careful what you wish for."

[Chairperson Meow]

I dunno. If Easton is Frank's "pet", wouldn't it be better for LW to be paired with him? Since being paired with Sonny, all Carly has done is wring her hands and worry about Morgan, Michael, and fight over Avery. She also may have switched Avery's paternity test. And she's worried about Jason. The only time LW has shown any type of spark since SK and IR has been in those scenes with ME. The Dr Finn character seems interesting enough to play off of Carly's weaknesses and strengths. It'd also bring her- and Michael (since Finn is Tracy's doctor) in the Q's orbit, which is where both CD and LW shine. I like the way JE and LC play off of LW. A Finn/Carly story would give that. Plus, I'm sick of rehashing the same old Sonny/Carly bs. I'm not even a Carly fan. I just like LW. Always have, back from Loving. (Sigh. Ally/Casey)

That's the worst part of the whole thing, if they do go there.  Carly will ultimately "win," and Anna will be another Alexis notch on Sonny's bedpost - a stop on the way right back to Carly.  And we'll be reminded that Carly is sooooooo much better than Anna.

I kinda.... think... that.... Anna and Griffin have chemistry. They're both too pretty to not end up together. And it's a Soap Law.

[dubbel zout]

Since being paired with Sonny, all Carly has done is wring her hands and worry about Morgan, Michael, and fight over Avery.

Maybe Carly wouldn't be quite so invested in Avery anymore, but she'd still be way too involved in Michael and Morgan's lives. I don't think that will ever change. They have the misfortune to be her sons now and forever.

[SlovakPrincess]

I kinda.... think... that.... Anna and Griffin have chemistry. They're both too pretty to not end up together. And it's a Soap Law.

 

Is Griffin the one who is possibly Duke's mystery son (I'm clearly not keeping track of any of the new characters at this point)?   Sure, fine, works for me!  

 

Sleeping with her maybe stepson is better than most of the life decisions poor Pod!Anna has made lately, and infinitely better than even flirting with Sonny.  So, yeah.  Go for it.

[Oracle42]

Not only would it not magically fix it, I get that feeling in my bones that SC coming back would be a great example of "be careful what you wish for."

If Dillon is going to get terrible writing anyway, I'd rather have RPW in the role. I don't care if Mayo gets ruined

[dubbel zout]

Is Griffin the one who is possibly Duke's mystery son

His DNA test showed he was Duke's son. I don't think that will change, as that's his main reason for being on the show. 

[IWantCandy71]

If Dillon is going to get terrible writing anyway, I'd rather have RPW in the role. I don't care if Mayo gets ruined

 

Actually, what I meant was, SC had a bad habit of overacting. We can all debate all day on RPW's talent or lack of it, but at least RPW seems to instinctively know that he doesn't have to be the focus of every scene. SC was always the opposite for me. Not exactly "hammy", but not far from it. Maybe a little too much of TG's tutorage, or something. IDK.

For me, Dillon is whoever is playing him. I care about Dillon being ruined, no matter who the actor is.

[SlovakPrincess]

Cool.  Totally on board with Anna sleeping with her stepson if it keeps her away from Sonny.  

 

That could actually be good ... like, Anna finally gets to end up with a smart version of Duke who doesn't fuck up his own life (and hers) all the time.   Of course, I'll always want Robert / Anna as end game, but this show will be cancelled before I ever get that, so ....

[Chairperson Meow]

Maybe Carly wouldn't be quite so invested in Avery anymore, but she'd still be way too involved in Michael and Morgan's lives. I don't think that will ever change. They have the misfortune to be her sons now and forever.

Well yeah, but in between that, she did stuff. She had things to do besides errands that Sonny didn't feel like getting around to, including The Not So Epic Battle For Avery. Unless Avery is really Morgan's kid, Carly needs to drop that mess. Besides, Social Climber Carly Benson from Florida would jump at the chance to be with a doctor, especially one who's a world renowned specialist.

[dubbel zout]

I don't think Carly thinks in social-climbing terms anymore. If she goes with Finn, it will be to taunt Sonny somehow, same as when she married Jax.

[Chairperson Meow]

Sonny deserves it. He neglected her. Plus, he'll just try to kill her again when he finds out she switched the paternity test. And she'll be with Finn to mess with the Q's. It's like a double punch.

Omg. I don't even like Carly. Michael Easton, what hath you done? What is wrong with me?

[ulkis]

I think the most they will do with Anna and Sonny, if they do anything, if a one night stand.

[TeeVee329]

I don't think anything romantic is going to happen with Sonny and Anna, they just need Anna to sign off on the awesomeness that is Sonny like everyone else in this damn town.  And they've been laying too much groundwork for her and Andre.

Sonny deserves it.

 

The men who get stuck with Carly don't, though. I don't think they fully realize her awfulness until they have to live with her on a daily basis.

I lol'ed. But I hate to say it, but a one night stand with Sonny can't be worse (imo of course) than one with Sloane. That dude was greasier than Sonny.

Even that would be too much. We already had to deal with her and Luke being in love.

Sonny ruins everything so Anna giving Sonny the time of day has already ruined her. Her banging Sonny would just be another nail in the coffin.

The Everyone Loves Sonny show is a major turn off.

I'm assuming that a reveal that she tampered with the paternity test is what's going to lead to the Sonny/Carly split. Meanwhile, they're building this "connection" between Carly and Finn so she has her fallback ready to go when things implode.  I'll give them partial credit if Finn expresses a complete understanding for why anyone would want to avoid allowing Morgan to parent a fake plant, let alone a human baby. 

 

D:

I'll give Jax a little credit in that, at that time, Carly did seem really, truly, honestly done with the moobster.  It was nothing like the usual "we all know they'll end up back together, but they're each going to have a fling or two first" kind of thing.  

[dubbel zout]

Hee. Full credit if Finn says that Morgan is, "supposedly, an adult" yet is still not fit.

I understand what you mean - but Mayo isn't Dillon to me and that's a combination of both the acting and the writing. I think if he were replaced by a good recast next year, very few people would remember or care about anything Mayo has done. I do think RPW is trying and I think he's less wooden than RP. it's just that FV is hiring models instead of actors... and it shows

I think that had a lot to do with MB/LW having very little chemistry compared to Carly/Jax, Sonny/Kate and Sonny/Olivia

I also thought the writers did a really good job of giving Carly a legitimate, internally consistent reason for walking away from Sonny. I think these new morons are attempting to do the same thing but F*ing Kiki getting shot because she jumped in front of a bullet =/= Michael being shot because he was standing in a room with Sonny. Especially since Carly should looooooathe Kiki with every fiber of her being

Brownie points if Lizard breaks script and bites Morgan.

I know. It's not Lauren's fault she was shot, but she knows the pier is dangerous. It's not unreasonable that she found herself in a situation that got her hurt, especially since she decided to take it upon herself to save that dumbass Morgan.

 

I have no idea why Sonny and Carly don't spit every time her name is mentioned.

[Syndicate]

His DNA test showed he was Duke's son. I don't think that will change, as that's his main reason for being on the show. 

But is Duke his main reason for being on the show, really? Griffin's specially-emphasized scar seems like a storyline on its own. What does it relate to? I also don't know if I trust the DNA results, especially the way it was delivered. Griffin just shows up at Kellys with the envelope in his pocket. Why didn't the person who did the test not call Anna and Griffin to both be present when the results came back? 

[dubbel zout]

Anna isn't a party to the DNA test. There's no reason she should be contacted by anyone other than Griffin. As for his scar, meh. The reason will never be interesting to me unless it involves feline genes.

[Syndicate]

I still don't buy it. Anna is a fool for just accepting the results from Griffin's back pocket, especially with her being highly suspicious of him. Anna has a history of being a spy. Surely she can and should dig a little deeper, just in case!

Omg. What if he got bitten by a cat during a storm and is actually CatMan? He's really a crime fighting superhero that has cat like powers and that's why the DNA test shows Duke as his father.

The random storylines I come up with when I drink are more entertaining than this show. Written down on a napkin are also:

Sonny gets addicted to World of Warcraft

Morgan gets catfished

Kristina has a crush on Kiki because they both hate Taylor Swift

Michael and Maxie date because shoes

She showed some suspicion, but was she "highly suspicious"?  I dunno.  I think that this was just some fake drama, I don't think the show is looking to pull the rug out from under us re: Griffin being Duke's son.  More likely, as stated above, he has secrets about that scar of his, or the way his life was impacted by AIDS/HIV that he mentioned to Sonny on his first day, or - if we're really lucky - his torrid med school affair with Lucas. #speciwontletdie

Remove the word highly and it just doesn't matter! She was suspicious of him, and that's all that was needed. Super spy Anna is being careless with Griffin's back pocket results.

I can live with all of these plots.

Also: A serial ninja barber stalks the men of PC. Determined to right the hair atrocities being forced upon the residents!

Todd Chrisley buys a coffee shop in town and proceeds to savagely destroy Sonny and people's delusional belief of Sonny's great parenting skills, fashion and control of the Gummy Mob. Just cause.

AJ returns to haunt Michael over his stupidity in business, love life and his easy forgiveness of Sonny and Carly for MURDERING HIM AND COVERING IT UP!

And in a move for corporate synergy, Stef from the The Foster's comes to town to train the PCPD excited into doing legal and actual police work! NO, you can't investigate your family members in crimes! What the hell, she can also talk to Kristina about being a sexually confused young woman.

*shrug* Of all the off-brand things Anna is doing lately - i.e. partnering up with Sonny - this isn't the one I'm gonna hang my hat on.  The show knew that there would be "But there was no DNA test!" protests from the audience until one was ran so here we go.

The show's casting a new recurring role:

Why do they need a "name" actress for a recurring role? 

[IWantCandy71]

More people, really? *rme*

 

 

After her brain surgery, can Tracy wake up as Gracie, the chain smoking, black t shirt wearing hit woman wannabe?

 

*Gracie walks into Sonny's office*

Sonny: I uh, you know...already have a, you know, uh, someone to uh, take care of that for me

*Shawn walks in, Gracie stares him down, Shawn looks at Sonny and walks out*

Gracie: You were saying?

Sonny: Well, uh, you know, uh....

Gracie: Now about the way you run your little "coffee" business. I have some ideas.......

He's almost 30, he'll be turning 30 by the end of the month. He's got kind of a babyface.

Wow, yeah, he looks way younger than 30 to me.

 

So then who do we think he's for?

 

ETA...oh no, what if he's, like, Griffin's half-brother or something.
