Spoilers and Speculation: Clink Boom and Cheese Fondue

[Ambrosefolly]

A crackpot theory before today's Lucy and Scotty scenes.  In the preview, Lucy is asking Scotty to cut the crap and tell her what he wants.  We also know from spoilers that poor Lucy gets stuck talking to the SERIAL KILLER and he's defending himself against her accusations/insinuations.  So my crackpot theory is that something is going with Serena's money and Scotty is suspicious of the sudden wealth Franco came into (which we know is from Heather) and asks Lucy to help him look into it.

I am not disputing this, because I bet good money this will happen but how the fuck would Heather get her hands on it? I always imagined Serena as a shrewder, more principled version of Scotty, (inheriting her levelheadness from Dominique). Considering all the times she has been targeted for her fortune, I would think she would hyper vigilante about safeguarding it, and not trusting anyone, even if they appear kind to her.

[TeeVee329]

Oh, I wasn't thinking that the Heather money was actually Serena's money, just that Serena might be have a money issue (which could tie into the first week of August spoilers about Lucy getting an unsettling call* and someone coming to visit Port Charles the same week Chloe Lanier starts) at the same time Scotty is noticing Franco is suddenly flush.

It just seems like, from the teeny clip in the preview, that things are a bit frosty between Lucy and Scotty and, if that's the case, what he wants from her having to do something with one of their kids makes the most sense to me.  But maybe it's just wishful thinking.

* Although, come to think of it, maybe something happens to Kevin on Cassadine Island and Lucy gets a call about it.  Perhaps, even though they're divorced, she's listed as an emergency contact?

I love the idea of one of Valentin's henchmen making that call: "Mrs. Lucy Collins? Please come pick up your husband on Cassadine Island as soon as possible." Hee.

I would be fine with Chloe Lanier playing Christina, but I don't want her playing Serena. I have my issues with Carly Schroeder as I think Serena should be aged, but it would be such an insult to de-age the character in favor of one actress who made a good impression in a completely different role (with probably more preparation) at the expense of someone still associated with the character, who is older.

Chloe's everyday look is more mature than her Patricia look Check out her IMDB page  http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3332720/  

[TeeVee329]

Serena, Christina, I just want her to be one of Lucy/Scotty/Kevin's daughters.  If she comes on as, like, some friend of Darby's or something, I'll cry.

Which why she would make a decent Christina. I never understood why GH would cast some characters so carefully, and not others.

I agree, plus if you look at her demo reel this just enforces that for me.

I'd want her to be Christina just so she wouldn't be related to Franco.

That made me laugh so hard.   I just want her character to save Chad from the Sabrina hell hole he's been in.   And for the love of God, keep Brydog's filthy paws off of her.  Do a Michael /Serena or Christina/Dillion triangle but no Morgan nothing.   Ugh.  But it'd be cool if she were an intern under Matt Cohen's Griffin and chem tested with him because Chad needs a challenge.   He's been with laziness too long.

I found the liquor bottles in that pic more interesting than any of those spoilers. I wonder if they actually have any liquor in them. 

[TeeVee329]

Nina looks ridiculous in that picture and it continues to make no sense that Carly would be friendly to her/accept her help

Quote

A bullet meant for Laura hits someone else instead.

Oh no, you know that's Kevin.  Poor Kevin!  Of all the characters on this show, why does Valentin have to shoot one of my favorites?

[Oracle42]

They have got to stop pretending that Carly would not despise literally every. single. thing. about Nina: her upbringing, her mental/emotional frailty, the fact that she kidnapped someone's baby after rendering them helpless (even if it was Ava), her "style" and the fact that she willingly dated Franco - just, no. 

Carly might, maybe, possibly have been frenemies with Y&R's Phyllis but that's not who MSt is playing right now, so....

Edited July 22, 2016 by Oracle42

[dubbel zout]

I don't think Carly has to hate Nina for all that, but it certainly makes their friendship all the more WTF. It's the usual insta-relationship that GH has been doing for far too long. Carly and Nina's budding friendship is based on Nina overhearing Carly talk about Joss's kidney woes. (New band name alert!) And in this story, Carly has somehow become the most gullible dupe on the planet. I just can't.

I hope Sonny sees that Kristina sleeping with her professor is the bigger problem than Kristina sleeping with her female professor, but I'm not holding my breath. Though given the insistence on Sonny's greatness, he'll probably be just fine with her sexual confusion and tell her he's on her side and will listen whenever she wants to talk.

I wonder if he's going to give her hypocritical shit about cheating on WhatsHisName.

I don't think Carly would bother with hatred but I also don't believe she would be able to interact with Nina without sneering.

Dante and Ava are ready to pounce on some unexpected visitors.

Okay NGL, I kind of love this one. I don't ship them or anything, but just like the idea of them having scenes. Kind of like him and Sam. Guess I need to get caught up, because I'd about given up for the barge.

Later, Franco takes Liz somewhere foreboding. Will she regret her decision to go on a date with him?

Thanks, I just ate. That should come with a disclaimer: Warning, vomiting may occur.

Morgan doesn’t understand why Kiki is so upset by his wonderful gesture.

STFU.

[TeeVee329]

Morgan's "wonderful gesture" better not be bringing a friiiieeeeennnddd of Kiki's to town who's played by Chloe Lanier.

[OnceSane]

Morgan probably bangs someone else & tells Kiki he did it for her…again.

Who else in Kiki's life is there for Morgan to bang?  Her dog, Princess Floofer?

But everything about Nina pretty much is Carly besides the fact that Carly is banging Sonny currently.   That can be changed;)  Just one evening with a certain mobster and a tall, leggy redhead.   Super couple of the decade!

OF COURSE that's what Jax does. Of course.

On the other hand, I think Kiki thinking Morgan is having an episode will be her realizing he's just having an episode of asshole-iness.

We knew Jax was going to be the bad guy in all this...I just can't believe INgo agreed to come back so his character could be trashed even more...

This. Like why, Ingo, why?! He doesn't even seem like he cares about the money or anything so I really don't get it.

They probably told him he was gonna have a great story and be a hero and the fans would love it and then he got his first script and it said, "Jax secretly killed a child for their kidney and helped Helena kidnap Jake." LOL.

[LeftPhalange]

SMH they got Jax too :(

I was excited to see Jax and see IR and LW in scenes again even though I knew it was probably going to be some bullshit. Should have known they would trash him just like every other character they get their hands on.

They trashed him the minute they paired Jax and Carly. Jax could have done better.

It was probably like when SK was told "We respect you as an actor, you'll be getting romance stories and ties to the history, the canvas.  With Jason gone, we need AJ to be that top guy." Opens script, sees fat joke.  Opens next script.  Sees panic attack.  Next month, fat jokes and a story about relish.  Once Frank got RoHo and really Michael Easton back, he dropped SK and began devaluing AJ.  Once Frank got JVP back, he began devaluing Jax.  Except Jax didn't make it on air for us to see yet.   And I like all of the actors above.

True that but I really liked CarJax together it's the only time Carly's wretched ass was tolerable & they had great chemistry. But as soon as she laughed at Jax's rape with Jason sorry ass I was through with her & the pairing.

Did I not call it on Jax?

Hmmm this is the same week Lucy supposedly gets the unsettling call.  I wonder if that's what sparks Lucy (and Scotty) getting drunk and hooking up.  Oh man, reintroducing one of their kids by them bursting in on them the morning after would be soapy as hell.  Why am I setting myself for disappointment...

Oh dear, Darby better not be pregnant.  Maybe she just has crabs.

I like the way Laura plays Carly now whenever Jax visits, like in 2013. There's a part of her who knows what she lost when she sees him.

[peachmangosteen]

I tried to watch some Jax/Carly clips a few months ago but Carly was doing her annoying smile and laugh so I couldn't do it.

To be completely truthfully, I don't think there has been many females in the last few years good enough for Jax. Closest was V and maybe Karen Wexler when she was alive.

If Jax were staying around I would say they should definitely try Anna/Jax. 

[Ambrosefolly]

I got a lot of love for Liz, but at this point, he can do better than her. As for Anna, I think she would compare him to her ex husband, and lets face it, Robert might edge he out.

[WendyCR72]

I still want my Jaxis. Sigh. Yes, yes, Alexis did Jerry, so what? It's a soap staple.

[TeeVee329]

A party of one, but I still ship Skye and Jax.  I feel like she's the one woman in his life who's never chosen someone else - and certainly not Sonny - over him.

Yeah I love me some Ingo, but Tristan is just magic. 

[jsbt]

I'd be down for Anna and Jax after a brief, torrid and dramatic fling with lil' Griffin. It would drive Carly crazy and Tristan Rogers ain't around.

[NiqueAlexis]

I down with the Anna/Jax but hell no to her & Griffin even though he works best with her & her family & she is the only one I see him have great chemistry with. Anna isn't Ava who being a couager with doesn't come across as wrong or not natural. Anna is different she doesn't work like that & it's not her style. He is the son of her dead husband it's gross to me & it's a line I don't think she would cross.

Just my opinion it's bad enough she banged Luke & Noahs groupie/twin whoever the hell he was. I not saying Griffin is in the same league as them. I mean what about Curtis isn't both the actor & character in there 40s? He is a chemistry magnet & he is a decent man who has a colorful past.
