Oscar and Sonny have a heart to heart Dec. 13.

 

Probably about how grateful Oscar is that Sonny and Carly have made room for him at their table.

Also, Sonny can talk about how a disease is something that can be beaten, and Oscar with his cancer should look to the example of Sonny and his bipolar disorder. Then Sonny can talk about Morgan. And maybe Stone.

I prepare myself with worst-case scenarios.

I'd think at least one writer would have attended Law and Order University with the rest of us.

And, based on Law & Order University (love that, BTW!), any evidence would be considered "fruit of the poisoned tree", and none would be admissible.

This. I wonder if Sonny will tell Oscar that he and Joss can count on him for support just like Stone and Robin counted on him (gag). To which Oscar should say, "Thanks, but it would be better for me to count on Josslyn's dad, because it's safer. The people associated with Mr. Jax aren't criminals."

From the new magazine:

 FV's attempt at Chilly 2.0 only ended up turning into Sonny's chance to try and screw the new younger brunette.

Somehow imo this has Maurice's hands all over it...

Didn't the same mag have a quote saying that afa Mo was concerned, Carson were "rock solid"?

Not that I think what either he or what Shelly said amounts to a spit of truth. Both Margonny or Margrew could be screwing in 2 months because the writers/actors LIE.

[jsbt]

Wait, did they really try to pair Sonny and Liz Hendrickson?? That's fucking gross.

Is Gryphon Strait (Oscar) still the worst young actor on GH in the last 30 years? I'm including Danica Stewart as Porno Maxie from 2001-2002 and the first little boy to play Jake, he's worse than both.

Hopefully not with his penis.

[Bawoman]

 I don't think Sonny/Margaux will be happening at least any time soon. They'd need to bring in someone from Carly, for one (I vote LW be forced to carry the burden of Parking lot Pete, because wtf should Maxie be forced to). I do like their dynamic. though..alot actually. The actors have chem and seem alive in their scenes. So I kind of hope they stay in each other's orbits, sex or no sex. Margaux serving as Sonny's non existent conscience works for me. Maybe she could counteract the toxic influence of the 3 dumb blonde cheerleaders of Carly/Jason/Michael.

Likely not happening though. They'll either do a sleazy hook up or kill her off because she dared to go against the trio from hell.

[jsbt]

As depressing as it is to ponder, Dylan Cash was better by the end of his run than Galvin Strep.

[Hater]

So which one of the holy trio + Sam are going to find out that Ryan is the killer?  

Sam and Curtis will be investigating the murder on their own and you know Carly is already in this story.  Will Jasus save the day as usual?  Or will Sonny somehow find a way?

If I wrote the show, I would have it be Maxie. Ryan is a serial killer who kills women and targeted her mother.

[dubbel zout]

Or why not have Maxie and Felicia figure it out, with an assist from Lucy? But that would be way too logical and give way too much attention to people who aren't Sonny/Carly/Jason/Sam. Ugh.

[Melgaypet]

I'd have the trio of Lucy, Laura, and Felicia be the ones to figure it out and take Ryan down.

ETA: Jordan can assist. She is the police commissioner and it's past time the PCPD got a win. But the misogynistic serial killer has to be defeated by WOMEN. That's like Basic Plot 101. So of course it'll be Jason and/or Sonny.

It's so predictable that it will be one of the trio + loser Sam, it always plays like that since those 4 need to constantly be in everyone else's story.

Oh yeah, the core four of suck will hijack this story and save the day same as always. Sonny will probably have the least to do with it. They save the "heroics" for Jason, Sam and Carly these days. And Franco. Oh my god, this show. The Godfather (I'm gagging) in his semi-retirement merely looks upon his subjects, passing ignorant judgement and offering up a convenient plot point or two from his sofa. Plus, there's a new petite brunette in town so Sonny is sniffing around elsewhere ATM. 

I doubt even Laura or Ava, whose daughter he murdered, will get a real chance to make Ryan pay or put him away. It should heavily involve Felicia and Lucy but its been made clear that Ryan's entire existence, origin, and motivations have been swapped for FV's reboot. Ryan 2.0. Like everything else since 2012, it's "Frank's Take" on GH history. Which equals totally butchering it.

The end of Dylan Csah's run...when the performance was just lying in bed hooked up to monitors, while Laura Wright talked about how his color looked better? Yes, I'd agree. Those are my fondest memories of his time on the show. He really made me believe he was a vegetable.

I think that Dylan was a servicable child actor and during his tenure on the show was often commanded for his own ability to wrangle other child actors (who were toddlers). But even Guza wasn't stupid enough to think he would work long term as Michael.

That's fair enough. The child version of Michael, once he started talking, was an unappealing character, but much of that was the writing.  It would have taken a young actor of extraordinary ability and promise to overcome it and make him someone I actually wanted to watch. I do think they featured him too heavily, even giving him his own "stories" (like the hallucinated girlfriend, Jodie), as if he were a young actor of extraordinary etc.  

Stith does better at some things than at others. He's awkward, but sometimes it can work in the scenes.

Pop AND son Corinthos are getting it this week it apparently.

Didn't the Jasam stuff happen 2 weeks ago.

If they're going to go there with SoDA (I'm sorry I had to) they might as well gift Parking lot Pete to Carly and unsaddle Maxie. Carson can both go slummin it up with the youngins and the show can avoid accusations of ageism/sexism, etc.

[TeeVee329]

LWB/FS's expression in the promo when Maxie is giving him a shoulder massage is anger-making.  I think they're trying to redeem him by having him be this goofball and, ugh, it's making me hate him even more.

Also, I assume Sonny draping that scarf on Margaux means she's now with child.

They keep sticking Maxie with FV's "finds." It would be nice if Maxie got to have a story that wasn't entirely focused on justifying FV's most recent bad decision.

Not even Carly deserves to be stuck with killer tofu. Honestly, I wish they'd stop killing off* any character that has more chemistry with Carly than Sonny does. 

 

*RIP Alcazar and AJ, honorable mention to Zander who had chemistry with most of his love interests, including Carly - and congrats to Jax** on getting out alive!

I wonder why. Is she the only “young” “hot” female to Frank? And I’m being totally real. She always ends up with these cardboard cutouts that TPTB want to display.

[TeeVee329]

I think it, as I've said many times before, just speaks to the weakness of that age group.  It's really just Maxie and Lulu, and I think the show has historically been very reluctant to pry Lulu and Dante apart, particularly after the disaster that was the triangle with Valerie, so Maxie's the only option for these new dudes.

Ava gets a surprise just before heading to Kiki's funeral

[dubbel zout]

Just enough time to explain to Avery why she'll never see Lauren again. It's shockingly gracious that Sonny and Carly deigned to let Ava handle that job (they were probably relieved to pawn it off), but if Avery isn't going to be at the funeral, they couldn't have waited a day or two?

I...I'm not sure how to say this...I'm tired of this Mike/Alzheimer story.  Because I feel like it's something the show trots out to a) make us feel a certain way about Sonny and Carly ("Poor Sonny, he's so sad about his dad, never mind that his big story this year was about him remorselessly murdering someone else's dad!") and for the show to pretend it's doing interesting, important drama, which it isn't really.

Table for three. It was always Emmy bait for MB, and he hasn't risen to the occasion, IMO. I think LW and of course MG have done much better work with the story.

I have no interest in watching Benard try to squeeze out a few tears as Mike deteriorates. MB is a terrible crier, which isn't his fault (not everyone can be Genie Francis or Jonathan Jackson), but he's so bad he takes me out of the scene entirely. And the story itself, when it doesn't focus on Mike, is so gross.

I think I soured on it for good when Mike faked an episode to get out of...something.  The "explosion" he caused at Charlie's?  Whatever it was, it was extremely gross.

I feel the same way. The fact that they keep bringing up the fact that Margeaux had the audacity to question Mike about the murder "even though she knew he had Alzheimers" as proof that she is a horrible person is extra annoying when I think about how, during that questioning, Mike faked an episode to get her to stop and then laughed about it.

[statsgirl]

Table for five.  In my real life, the story about those people who are caregivers for people with dementia are about how they struggle to be able to help their relatives and not be drained dry, not the "Poor Me" that Sonny is running.
