I certainly did. Another example of giving a character a family tie and then completely ignoring it. 

 

It has been always been rent seeking.

[TeeVee329]

Speculation based on this pic and the previous scene they shared: do you think the show's going to put these two together?

Edited May 8, 2017 by TeeVee329

[LexieLily]

Aren't they supposed to think they are related?

[TeeVee329]

They sure are.

But these writers also seem to think there was a gap of time where Steve Burton Jason was running around Cassadine Island so...

[LexieLily]

These writers also have Liz dating her half-brother's half-brother and Valentin bringing a child to term knowing it was created with his nephew's half-sister, so...

[Oracle42]

This is not the Cassadine incest story that I'm interested in seeing.

Speaking of Alexis, can she get involved with Valentin, please? I cannot watch one more second of her sniveling over Julian - especially since I watched some early Sam/Alexis mother daughter scenes over the weekend. 2005/06 Alexis was not here for that shit. 

Besides, Alexis actually makes Valentin interesting and he doesn't cry around her, so wins all around

I bet the hacks forgot. And the way things get dropped, I'm sure a portion of the viewers did, too. Which is maybe what FV counts on?

[Oracle42]

I was talking Alexis/Stavros cause it definitely happened. 

I still hate this embryo story. Amongst other things, I don't understand why Valentin would even want a child with Lulu. Zero parts of this story have ever made sense to me

[LexieLily]

There is definitely a lot about this embryo story that has been changed and/or retconned and none of it makes sense. A Lulu/Stavros child would be awful because of the Stavros/Laura history, but at least Stavros is dead.

[Bwill3133]

Wasn't there supposed to be a "big story" on the secret that Victor Cassadine isn't Nathan's dad? Thats never been addressed again.

This is true of possibly every current story. Sigh.

I am marginally interested in Nathan/Kristina simply because of the height difference lol. And tbh I'd probably be more interested if they do actually remember they're related.

I wouldn't be surprised to find out that just as they chem test actors, they float stories and gauge reactions.

One of them (it doesn't matter which): "Hey, aren't we related somehow?"

The other: "Uh, maybe? Does it matter?"

The first one: "Probably not. Let's go see a movie."

IIRC Obrecht claimed Victor was not Nathan's dad. Neither Ron nor Frank ever touched it again - no one gave a shit.

[ulkis]

She did, but no one ever found out.

It would be amusing if Nathan angsted about his attraction to Kristina and Obrecht just casually said, "oh, did I forget to tell you about your real father? My mistake, I forgot. It is Finn."*

*I would like it to be Finn because it would explain why Obrecht hates Finn so much (he failed to recognize her from a long ago fling) and b) when Nathan first came on there was speculation that he was Silas' son but a couple of fans were like, "no way! Easton is too young to be that guy's dad!" so making him Nathan's would be amusing to me lol.

Yup.  Victor ran a DNA test showing he wasn't Nathan's dad and Obrecht killed him to keep the HORRIBLE SEKRIT.  Helena also mentioned at one point that she understood why Liesl would lie about it. 

But yeah, that was a Ron thing and I'm sure these writers don't even remember Donna Mills.

I'm pretty sure Donna Mills appeared under them . . . well at least Donna Mills appeared during the who-cares-who-killed-Silas murder mystery, and JP was around for that, even if her actual material wasn't quite airing yet.

[IWantCandy71]

Kristina/Nathan? She'll have zero chemistry with him just like she does anyone else.

[peachmangosteen]

Hey now, she has chem with Michael!

ETA: It's too bad Nathan isn't actually related to her. She might have chem with him if they were related lol.

I can't find a source on this so it might just be a RUMOR, but I'm reading some stuff on Twitter that Rebecca Budig (the character) is pregnant.  Which I hope to gawd isn't true.  The show doesn't need any more babies, and it certainly doesn't need a Dr. Michael Easton/Rebecca Budig baby. 

Jean/Shelly: But it's a legacy baby!  [Rebecca Budig] is Jeff Webber's daughter!

Me: SHUT UP!

Edited May 9, 2017 by TeeVee329

There was some spoiler about Rebecca Budig being surprised, but I think the date for it already passed.

[ulkis]

Nevermind, apparently she is.

Looks like we're getting some Hells.  Whether she's in flashbacks or, once again, BFTD, who knows:

The story is dumb, but Constance Towers is a treasure.

[Oracle42]

I hope Hayden finds herself one of PCs super dangerous staircases. She and Dr. Michael Easton had one, off-screen love scene. They do NOT need dumb baby drama.

Also? He is an infectious diseases doctor and they didn't use protection?!11!!?

I did have the horrifying thought that I wouldn't put it past the show to have Brad somehow be responsible for her having a miscarriage.

No one uses protection on this fakakta show, and everyone is shocked when there's a pregnancy. It's deeply stupid.

Is this an official promo? It looks like it was filmed by a child lol.

I refuse to acknowledge this spoiler about Hayden being pregnant.

[Oracle42]

That looks like it was shot with a cheap cell phone

[TeeVee329]

It wasn't an official, on-television promo.  I think it was on their Instagram page or something.

[dr. gailey]

Jason used a condom with Liz and we still ended up with his pain in the ass kid and Friz.

I am happy as hell Finn knocked up Hayden. Better her than Sam.

Missing word.

[TeeVee329]

I'm also seeing spoilers that Anna/Alex gets exposed at the Nurses' Ball.  While the writers surely expect us to be shocked, just SHOCKED that it's Alex, I shamefully would really love it if Alex slipped up and accidentally called the Nurses' Ball the Crystal Ball, which was AMC's annual gala.

But isn't it better this way than TPTB getting mad that people guessed the reveal and changing to an even stupider story midstream like they did with Fluke?  It's a small blessing, but what else can you expect? This is GH, after all.

Oh, absolutely.  And to be fair, there are some people that probably will be surprised if they didn't know Anna's AMC history.

[Oracle42]

Y'know. If Guza was still around I wonder if he'd do Michael/Kristina as an incesty Godfather homage.

I always felt they were a breath or two away from going there when Drew Garrett was in the role. He and LA had real chemistry. The whole summer runaway thing with them in swimwear? That wasn't coincidence.

More chemistry than Drew Garrett had with anyone else.

But Michael/Kristina isn't true incest. They don't share any genes, which is the real reason for the no incest rule.  Alexis and Stavros now....  Or even Alexis and Valentine.

I can't imagine who she could be playing, I assume not Marian.  I do imagine she'll have some kind of winky moment with Rebecca Budig, though.

Well, Kristina is nuts; she might give him enough hell to make him interesting. My issue would be that they grew up regarding each other as siblings 

I'm not interested in a romantic relationship with Alexis/Valentin. I just think there might be better story with them working together or against each other, than there is on watching them sniveling over Anna or Julian. 

As for Alexis/Stavros? He's a rapist, and given Alexis's insecure position in the Cassadine household and the fact that Stavros believed that he and Alexis were distant cousins - I can't imagine that he didn't rape/attack her at some point

Ha! And the fact that Julian is a bone marrow match for Danny is just another PC cosmic coincidence.  Just like how Nell was a perfect match to older adopted sister's sick baby! With whom Nell shares 0% genes. At least to our knowledge.
