Spoilers and Speculation: Clink Boom and Cheese Fondue

[LexieLily]

Well, now that Nikolas is dead (for "real" this time!) does the lawsuit get thrown out?

[dubbel zout]

Nik signed ELQ over to Valentin, didn't he? Valentin will likely return to PC eventually (reasons/Helena) and cause trouble if that story line ever gets picked up.

[Oracle42]

Nik doesn't have any ELQ to sign over. Jason and Sam blackmailed him out of the shares

[TeeVee329]

And then it got mucked up because Nikolas filed some lawsuit because the money Jason used to pay for the shares were mob-tainted?  Or something?

[dubbel zout]

Then what did Nik sign over to Valentin, whatever was left of the Cassadine holdings? I guess that could be a reason for Valentin to return to PC, regardless of whether Nik is "dead."

It would actually be a waste of time and money for him to take that to court. He'd have been better off trying to resuscitate his family's holdings

Apparently, the SID fall preview says something about Jason considering a return to the mob.

...this fuckin' show.

It was just a matter of time.  I figured, eventually, Sonny (or Michael or Carly) would be in danger because Sonny does something stupid, and St. Jasus, the Holy Hit Man would have to step back in and make it all better. 

[jsbt]

The Jason story writes itself. WSB, Robert (and Anna), forced to serve global peace. First target: The Port Charles underworld. Easy peasy. You could run on that drama for a year or more. Their fans love Jason and Sam running around with guns, send Jason on a first mission in some fake soap opera jungle where Sam tags along against his will.

And nothing really mob-ular is actually going on at the moment.  I wonder if the negative reactions to the Cassadine Island adventure made Jelly scramble back towards the mob as a gun and adventure outlet for Jason and Sam.

Did it get that negative a reaction? I didn't think it was any worse than anything else on the show.

[TeeVee329]

*shrug* It seemed like it did, at least online.  They seem to be courting the Jason/Sam fanbase HARD so a return to their classic dynamic wouldn't be that shocking to me.

[jsbt]

I'm not sure I see them having that quick a turnaround. I think it's probably a plot point, as ulkis says.

[Oracle42]

I don't want a return to mob follies and BM/MB have nuclear anti-chem. The writers need to figure out something to do with Jason...after he murders Franco in self defense 

[Oracle42]

The Cassadine Island mess deserved a negative reaction. The story was nonsensical garbage and the sets were painfully cheap looking. Aside from the "island" they crashed on, the Cassadine compound looked like it was furnished with items FV found on the street on bulk trash day

I certainly hope so, I just thought it might be more since it seems to be their main fall story.

[jsbt]

There is a great Who Killed Franco story to do, after he works with crazy brainwashed Jake or something. Wasn't that kid going psycho and drawing creepy pictures or something? What happened to all that? But they won't do it.

Just a way to get gentle fake therapist Franco into Jake's life. But maybe they'll pick up on it again 6 months from now.

The fall previews usually don't amount to much.

Plus, can you imagine? "Alright buddy, now I've got you in my sights! Stand still for me buddy while Uncle Jason adjusts his telescope!"

Watch that storybook of Jake's come tumbling out of Liz's locker next year.  "Oh yeah, this thing!".  Uggghhh.

What, didn't you know that demented Jake was cured of his troubles? Look at the new cute moppet! He likes Sam! No need for pictures that troubled Franco anymore! He's all better!

[TeeVee329]

Holy stupidity...apparently, Liz and Rebecca Budig find out they're half-sisters because Franco walks in on them fighting next week and blurts out the truth.  So Franco-centric AND, par the course with these writers, anti-climactic. 

I fucking hate this show.

Edited September 9, 2016 by TeeVee329

[IWantCandy71]

They've been dancing around the fact that Dumb and Dumber are sisters, all summer long. I think the fact that they don't drag it out  for another year is a feather in their cap. I don't expect anything on this show to be done well, and I haven't for many years now. It's almost like that should be a disclaimer on most posts. It's like one aspect done well, cancels out the other that they didn't do well...which is why the show will remain neutral and boring and vanilla bland. And while normally, people commenting on something they don't watch, annoys me....here I am doing it, and I don't feel the slightest bit conflicted. I think the past thirteen years  of putting up with disappointing crap from GH(after many years of happily NOT watching again) has qualified me to know just from reading recaps, that there's nothing worth tuning in for.

Oh, I'm fine with them getting on with the reveal.  I just think the way they're doing it - it being blurted out by Franco - is not a good, soapy way to do it.

But, don't you know?  Everything's better with Franco! 

[IWantCandy71]

The only soapy way to do it is for one to have needed blood or an organ the other one needs-and that's been done so much, it's a tired cliché. It doesn't help matters that Hayden and Liz are essentially the same character. There isn't enough yin and yang there. The best soap siblings are the ones who balance each other out because what one lacks, the other makes up for.  When one goes off the rails, the other is able to rein them in. That just isn't the case here, and the fact they are more alike than different, isn't very interesting IMO.

[TeeVee329]

But surely they could have come up with something better than a quip from Franco.

Lulu confides in Kevin and resolves to get some answers.

I hope he spends this session just AGHAST at what she wants to do.

I just hope at least Carly wears a handkerchief over her head and kneels down to Sonny clinging his hand, so I can get some laughs out of this.

Someone said it might have to do with hospital killer story after Sabrina gets killed. Still. If Sonny is the one to solve the case, seriously, even a 5 year old could see through that writing.

Will Alexis keep it together? Or will she stumble?

Flames. Flames on the side of my face.

Jason makes an emotional plea.

According to Frank, that's what makes Carly the ideal person to confront all of this. Excuse me while my brain explodes.

Well Sonny would know how a murderer thinks given HE IS A MURDERER.

I fuckin' hate this show.

Why would Carly care about the hospital killer? Why would Sabrina dying make her want Sonny to stop the violence? Regardless, I hope she throws a box of weapons into the water again.
