Spoilers and Speculation: Clink Boom and Cheese Fondue

[Lola16]

I keep waiting for him to create Twitter accounts for each character to play out all the stuff that is happening off screen. 

That takes more effort than I guess they want to put into it but it's actually a good idea.  Problem is they'd have a hard time retconning things.

[yowsah1]

Tue: Patrick faces questions.

 

Thu: Patrick puts his life back together.

 

 

Well, that was fast.

[mybabyaidan]

Are those adjusted to the preemption from last week, or are they off by a day still?  Anyone know?

[OnceSane]

I think they've been adjusted for the preemption.

[tvgoddess]

I got my ass chewed out on another board for daring to say something negative about Alice being mentioned in these latest spoilers and having a storyline. Apparently, she's the "heart and soul" of the Q's. WTFever. I still have zero interest in her, especially since I don't care about the Q's anyway.

[OnceSane]

I care about the Qs, but in no way do I consider Alice to be the "heart & soul" of the family.  Not by a long shot.

[tvgoddess]

Well, I think they said "heart and soul" of what's left, but still.

[TeeVee329]

This someone from the past who returns and shocks Alice?  Is that supposed to be someone we know or is this Ron making up a backstory out of whole cloth?

[KerleyQ]

Maybe it's someone like GhostEmily paying her a visit?  

[tvgoddess]

I think it's some wrestler. Don't quote me on that.

[OnceSane]

I'd love it if they got an actual WWE or TNA wrestler to play Alice's friend/wrestling buddy (if that's who shows up).

[peachmangosteen]

Well, David Otunga is gonna be on the show, so he's most likely the person from [Alice's] past.

Edited July 21, 2014 by peachmangosteen

[OnceSane]

That works, though I'd rather see a female (one not from that shit show Total Divas).

[Chairperson Meow]

Omg when they can't go any lower... it's like two crapfests colliding.

[rur]

 

Well, David Otunga is gonna be on the show

 

I didn't know who he was, so I just googled him and his wrestling publicity pix came up. Anybody want to give me odds on the chances they'll find a way to get his shirt off? 

[OnceSane]

Well, his body looks better than his face IMO, so no over/under on this one.  It's gonna happen.

[jennifer6973]

yes

[Rick Kitchen]

So I saw an ad for "Soap Opera Digest" today that breathlessly bleated, "See behind the scenes photos of Tony Geary's last day."

 

Huh?

[tvgoddess]

Last day before he took time off to recover from his back surgeries.

[Chairperson Meow]

We aren't that lucky. But, hey, we got rid of Steve Burton.

[dubbel zout]

Yeah, but Jason might be coming back. I don't want TG to leave if Luke doesn't. Though I think that's probably the only role Ron wouldn't dare recast.

[Chairperson Meow]

Ron must have balls of steel. I vote yes.

[KerleyQ]

He'll just recast Luke with Michael Muhney.

[Chairperson Meow]

I'll take it!

[EngradyPind]

I thought Muhney was scheduled to do a movie. He would make a good Jason Morgan since he does silent suffering so well, but he might not do a Jason Quartermaine too well. Still, I would give him a chance at the role.

[Chairperson Meow]

Movies don't film forever. Maybe 6-8 weeks. That gives us time for Micheal finding out blah blah. I'll call AJ.

This week's promo

[OnceSane]

Gee, will Sonny be responsible for this latest fireball?  It's the lakehouse, so I'd hope he wouldn't blow up his baby mama's home.  But he is the guy who almost blew up his daughter & dove to save his slampiece over his son when an assassin was about.

[LeftPhalange]

So now Julian pulls out a gun. Why didn't he kill Ava and Fake Luke when he had the chance.

[TeeVee329]

They're blowing up Alexis' house?  Ugh, does that mean they're all going to move into the MetroCourt?

[dubbel zout]

They'll all be living with Carly. Hee.

 

ETA: Maybe this is how the brownstone gets filled up, though Morgan is going to have to work a little faster to make it inhabitable for everyone.

Edited July 22, 2014 by dubbel zout

[BestestAuntEver]

Why can't they blow up Sonny's house?

I'm going to scream if Alexis' house is renovated & ends up in some shade of gray.

[KerleyQ]

So, Alexis has one of the few decent sets left on this show, and they're going to blow it up and then likely put her in some cheap crap living room pieced together from old All My Children, Port Charles, or Disney Channel sets? 

[MSquared]

They're blowing up Alexis' house?  Ugh, does that mean they're all going to move into the MetroCourt?

 

Well, Frank's gotta cut the budget SOMEWHERE if the rumors are true and BM is headed to GH.

 

Why can't they blow up Sonny's house?

I'm going to scream if Alexis' house is renovated & ends up in some shade of gray.

 

Preferably with him in it.

[Lillybee]

It would be a shame to blow up Alexis's house since they just gave her a bedroom.

[Chairperson Meow]

I know where they can cut the budget....

[MSquared]

I know where they can cut the budget....

 

We all know where to cut the budget.  All of us, except those who are actually in charge.

[KerleyQ]

I know where they can cut the budget....

 

Can we just send Frank a link to the Elimination Game thread?  That should be a good start for him. 

[Stinger97]

Topic, please. 

[TeeVee329]

Saw these cable guide spoilers for the week of 8/4:

 

8/4
Patrick and Sam face obstacles as they try to get info on Nina.
Britt's latest plan takes a turn.

8/5
Sam looks through Nina's files, while Patrick discovers something.
Franco and Nina find out Spencer's whereabouts.

 

Two things that terrify me:

 

        1) Spencer is still MIA in two weeks?  Oh Britt, girl!

        2) Nina and Franco as BFFs who save a child and thereby earn the town's thanks and praise?  Gross!

Edited July 24, 2014 by TeeVee329

[MSquared]

It was said elsewhere that they were going to begin whitewashing Nina, so...guess they had to start someplace.  And I'm guess Franco needs a fresh coat himself, because, well, RoHo is soooo good with kids. But, hey, Count Chocula offscreen for two weeks?  I'll take it.

[TeeVee329]

Sadly, I'm sure we'll see every minute of Spencer during his little adventure, the adults just won't know where he is.

[peachmangosteen]

Two weeks of Spencer being missing and us having to suffer through watching his antics the whole time is gonna be fucking torture. I mean, I'll just fast forward it, but still!

[dubbel zout]

I bet it'll be a day or two in GH time.

[OnceSane]

MTE, dubbel zout.  & I won't be surprised if we see Spencer regularly or have to read overly dramatic texts sent to Britt.

[TeeVee329]

I bet it'll be a day or two in GH time.

 

Yeah, it'll apparently be playing out on-screen for two weeks if he's not found til August 5th the earliest.  Yikes!

[dubbel zout]

have to read overly dramatic texts sent to Britt

 

Spencer ditched his phone. How did Britt text him before he got a new one? And where did he get the new one? Did he buy a burner from the minibar?

 

I wish the writers would think things through just a wee bit more.

[jsbt]

Spencer ditched his phone. How did Britt text him before he got a new one? And where did he get the new one? Did he buy a burner from the minibar?

Spencer is Marlo Stanfield.

[KerleyQ]

If they want to whitewash Nina, they should have her "save" a kid I actually cared was missing.  And I agree with those who said we'll most likely still have Spencer on screen, at minimum, via text messages to Britt.  (Which I guess would be somewhat better, since they don't involve a little kid having to creepily say those lines himself).
