ulkis July 17, 2015 Share July 17, 2015 Did Laura really give a crap about Jason (Morgan)? really? When she said "too bad Jason wasn't around to see undead Jake" I was like, ummm....weird. I don't really care about her knowing, she doen't have a relationship with Sam (or Jason as far as I recall) so her not telling isn't as glaringly stupid as Lucky not telling. No she did not. There was the time she hated him because she thought he was partly responsible for the fire that "killed" Lucky, but obviously later they figured out Reasons, aka Helena, started the fire. Pointless Silas I love it. He was on two days this week simply to listen to pointless daughter talk about her boyfriend. 3 Link to comment

SlovakPrincess July 17, 2015 Share July 17, 2015 At this point, I hope Robin eventually gets free, goes apeshit, and kills everyone who kept the Jason secret ... since they are indirectly helping to prolong her kidnapping. 3 Link to comment

TeeVee329 July 17, 2015 Share July 17, 2015 I hope, at the very least, Laura slaps Nikolas across the chops when she finds out what he's been up to. Oh ew, is her talk with Scotty going to be about how their sons are both THE EVUL? 1 Link to comment
KerleyQ July 17, 2015 Share July 17, 2015 I assume Carly finds out about little Jake's undeadness and has tests run on the kidneys Joss got. I also suspect that Carly will find out something as a result of those tests that reveals that Morgan is actually Avery's father. Knowing Ron, she'll find out that the kidneys Joss got were made out of corn. 3 Link to comment
magnolia11 July 17, 2015 Share July 17, 2015 Oh ew, is her talk with Scotty going to be about how their sons are both THE EVUL? Probably. You know Ron is going to shove Franco into this storyline somehow. He'll have to find out the Jason secret so he can all-knowingly start blackmailing people about it (his sole purpose on the canvas other than playing the dashing knight to crazypants Nina).

SlovakPrincess July 18, 2015 Share July 18, 2015 (edited) Refusing to even explain how that kid is alive and has kidneys is like saying "fuck you!" to the audience. All the kids have been SORASed by at least a year or two at this point so who even knows. I'm sure they made babyzombieJake the same age as the rest of the awful rugrats so Emma and Joss can fight over him and Spencer can have a new reason to be a competitive asshole.

cmahorror July 18, 2015 Share July 18, 2015 (edited) In terms of SORASing, Jake's isn't that bad.: Jake was born in 2007 so he should be 8. Emma was born in November of 2008 so she should be 6 going on 7. Spencer was born in 2006 during the monkey virus that almost killed him (damn it!) so he would be 9. Cam should be older than the rest of the group - he was born in 2004 so he should be 11 now. And Joss was born in October of 2009 - 5 going on 6. Of course compared to the SORASing of EJ on Days, this is nothing. He went from baby to a full grown adult with a law degree in 9 years. As for Ron's comments - the fact that he can't explain what happened with Jake and doesn't care to just shows how little he cares about the quality of his work and this show. Hey ABC - the guy does not give a fuck - fire him and hire someone who does. Edited July 18, 2015 by cmahorror 9 Link to comment

testardo July 18, 2015 Share July 18, 2015 I don't know if you remember/were around when it first came up, but it's old joke about how when they ask you questions in a focus group for soaps they make the questions so you can't really answer "no I hate these characters/storylines". it was like, "do you like Franco and Carly better than bears coming to eat your family?"

He basically admits that he's so lazy he can't think of any explanation other than "um ... Helena!" We're supposed to go all warm and gooey over the fact that Jake is alive and coming home to people he doesn't even know, and who are all ruined, out of character characters at this point: Liz (molester of a brain-damaged man), step-dad Lucky (who gives in to his undefined, asinine "darkness" and runs away from his family), Jason (an ex-hitman too brain-damaged and lazy to figure out he's Jake's dad), and step-grandpa Luke (a batshit crazy old man who nearly ran him over with a car).

This article basically informs us what we know. MoRon pulls stories out of his ass and doesn't put the effort into details, specifics or true story beats. It's a running joke here but abso-fucking-lutely true. A. Because....of course b. Because....reasons c. ...Helena... d. Let me tell you....*commercial break*... and that's how it happened. It appears he's more enthused that they found the same actor kid actor. My lack of trust and belief in his skills/ability just make me assume he and the other writers spent more time talking about getting the same actor vs telling a complete story. Normally, kid actors are changed all the time. I'd rather have original Firestarter Cam and the cute baby Danny. Shit like this is why I rarely watch anymore and #WhyRatingsAreSoLow 8 Link to comment
LeftPhalange July 18, 2015 Share July 18, 2015 Executing the reversal of Jake's tragic fortune required some fancy writerly footwork. "It was definitely a challenge because he was pretty dead," RC acknowledges. "We had to pull out a bag of tricks and go to our go-to person, Helena Cassadine, for help, and made it work. Shut the fuck up. The fuck. up. This statement is a perfect example of why this show is trash. 11 Link to comment
