Harmony233 February 6, 2015 Share February 6, 2015 I watched OLTL off and on but I don't remeber how he wrote his custody battles lol. 1 Link to comment
Chairperson Meow February 6, 2015 Share February 6, 2015 Oh the way Ron writes them is that well imagine to yourself who would you never ever want to get custody of the child, who could possibly neglect the child, kill the child, sell it, um lose the child - basically let your mind go to the worst possible scenario. And that person gets custody. The better parent doesn't and cries. Sometimes they randomly go crazy and kidnap the child. Sometimes they don't. We never actually see the child, or it's raised by a rapist in a hot dog suit. Spinelli was the best winner of a custody battle that I can recall or name. So in conclusion, Ron hates all children as well besides Spencer. 3 Link to comment
Cattitude February 6, 2015 Share February 6, 2015 Sonny is a convicted murderer. Would a court give a baby to him over the baby's sister? My point was so is Ava. If it would be realistic for Ava to gain custody if pardoned or released then Sonny has the same standing if released or pardoned. If Ava was free Kiki wouldn't stand a chance of getting Avery over her so same should hold true for Sonny the baby's other parent. Who I might add hasn't been using said baby 08375 times to gain sympathy like Ava did. 1 Link to comment
Chairperson Meow February 6, 2015 Share February 6, 2015 So clearly either Sonny or The Bridge Ava "fell" off of will get custody. I'm kinda going for Bridge. It has a lower criminal record than Sonny. Awesome points if Morgan gets custody. Mitigating factor: he read a book during Ava's pregnancy while Sonny was plotting her murder. 3 Link to comment

Who I might add hasn't been using said baby 08375 times to gain sympathy like Ava did. In addition to what TeeVee just said, it's also because he's mostly forgotten her existence. And I don't blame him! He's 50something years old, he has 4 kids already, it's a new baby with a woman he hates, I don't think he's a monster for being indifferent. But if he thought it would work, he would have used the baby card for sympathy/to get out of prison. Edited February 6, 2015 by ulkis 4 Link to comment
Cattitude February 6, 2015 Share February 6, 2015 I have no problem with Ava or Sonny asking one time to see the child. And I didn't think it was wrong for Ava to get to see and hold her baby once, which no one let Sonny do. I had more of a problem with her using that every time she could and then turn into a cold bitch after that didn't work. I also don't agree that he didn't use it b/c he didn't think it would work. It didn't work for Ava, but yet she continued to use it ad nauseum. I feel Sonny likes children and it good with them, but he is a more traditional mob boss father not going to do day to day care. Doesn't mean he isn't a good father or shouldn't have custody of his child. Him hiring a good nanny and being involved with Avery would be far better than the loafer Kiki raising her. I would also have no problem in Ava having primary custody if she somehow alive and was freed or pardoned. I find it sexist in the opposite way for Sonny to not be Ava's equal in Avery's custody issues. 1 Link to comment
TeeVee329 February 6, 2015 Share February 6, 2015 I have no problem with Ava or Sonny asking one time to see the child. I'm not sure if you're referring to my comment above, but Sonny wasn't asking to hold the child. He was basically asking for a get out of jail card because the baby had been kidnapped. Not that the baby being kidnapped seemed to bother him when he found Ava at the brownstone, considering all he did was make a ten-second call to Shawn before getting back to the murdering at hand. 9 Link to comment
peachmangosteen February 6, 2015 Share February 6, 2015 (edited) And it would look bad on Michael to try and help Kiki keep a child from her natural parent when that is his big issue with Sonny. I think Micheal's big issue with Sonny is that he murdered a man in cold blood that he promised Michael he wouldn't hurt and then lied to Michael for months about it while pretending to care about Micheal's pain over losing said man. I feel Sonny likes children and it good with them, but he is a more traditional mob boss father not going to do day to day care. Doesn't mean he isn't a good father or shouldn't have custody of his child. I think the fact that's he a convicted murderer and mob boss who has been the reason most of kids either almost died or are as fucked up as hell is enough to prove he's not a good father candidate and enough for a judge to give another relative custody. The thought of a Sonny/Kiki custody battle is nauseating. But also there's a chance it could be funny as hell, so maybe I wouldn't hate it.

Cattitude February 6, 2015 Share February 6, 2015 Oh I've no doubt this custody thing if it really happens will be a huge pile as that was my original comment. I mean if Ava and Sonny both got freed and Sonny was trying to get custody of Avery from AVA now that would be a story. But a freed or pardoned Sonny should not have any trouble getting custody of his daughter over her loafer sister. Link to comment
peachmangosteen February 6, 2015 Share February 6, 2015 (edited) But a freed or pardoned Sonny should not have any trouble getting custody of his daughter over her loafer sister. I really do think he should have some trouble though. He's a murderer! He's apparently the greatest mob boss ever known. I would hope a custody judge would think long and hard about whether a baby should be placed in his care. Edited February 6, 2015 by peachmangosteen 4 Link to comment

I think Michael getting involved in a custody battle would also emphasize first hand what Avery's life could be like with Sonny which should make a judge think twice. 3 Link to comment

Have Michael pretend to go out of town and come back with his and Brenda's baby) Sonny is shocked by the latest turn of events, which cause Michael to be furious. Michael turns to Alexis for legal advice while Carly pays Sonny a visit After seeing the promo and re-reading THIS spoiler I don't think it is Sonny Michael is referring to at all. The wording is a little misleading but Helena and Fluke have those ELQ shares and that promo seems to be all about Luke. What if the furry is at Luke and the lawyer is about ELQ. It may not even have to do with anger at Sonny. Link to comment
TeeVee329 February 6, 2015 Share February 6, 2015 But at the bottom, for the week of 2/16: Carly tries to get Michael to drop his latest attempt to bring down Sonny. 1 Link to comment
testardo February 6, 2015 Share February 6, 2015 If Micheal hangs Sonny on a meathook, I may laugh for months.I'd come back to watch that. Michael takes his kid, and don't forget to hang Alexis right beside him. paybacks a bitch! 5 Link to comment
KerleyQ February 6, 2015 Share February 6, 2015 Can the custody battle be ruled over by Judge Country, who takes one look at Sonny, laughs for five minutes, and rules against him as he's still wiping away the tears of his laughter? I fear we'll get Judge Cockblock, though. Because if hanging out with a cop is reason to keep a mother from her child, I assume that he lives in opposite world, and being a mobster makes for a fine custodial parent. 6 Link to comment
jsbt February 6, 2015 Share February 6, 2015 (edited) I like how you see Asian people at the beginning of that promo behind Michael, out of nowhere, because that's like the white buffalo of daytime drama.

tvgoddess February 7, 2015 Share February 7, 2015 I hate to say it but the best thing for baby Avery is if she turns out to be Carlos's or even the janitor's. Anyone would be a better father than Sonny. I think it's pretty much safe to say that Carlos has been ruled out. If they didn't mention this ever being a possibility on the bridge, it isn't going to happen. This baby for worse or worse, was fathered by a Corinthos. Still not completely convinced Sonny is the dad though. 1 Link to comment
