Maybe he's leaving. Either that and it's totally opposite and it's just dumb wacky antics to add some suspense to the wedding.

I think if he were leaving they wouldn't be positioning Griffin for a Liz triangle

[TeeVee329]

Oh geez, because of the ramped up to 11 stupidity the NYE they first got together, I guess.

I wonder if Lucy will be allowed out of whatever box they stuffed her and Scotty in to officiate.

Re the first, now that Jordan has managed to intimidate her rookie Valerie out of her relationship with Curtis, I'm sure that Curtis's tendency to work outside the law will be just fine.

Damn you, Saint Robin! She thought Jason was better than being a killer. Shame on her.

Can we please have a viewing party of our fave Crazy Carly moments. I need a reason to post the clip of her talking to Pillow Michael about Auntie Robin.

PLEASE bring back the Carly who walks around in furs and diamonds and gives orders to mob goons. That would be better than this Carly who is involved in baby bullshit with Sonny and Ava and willingly interacts with wet drip Nelly. Maybe if Carly were covered in diamonds she would slap Kiki five times.

[ulkis]

I bet Laura Wright could really wear a fur coat to the hilt.

The budget for fake furs went to Roger Howarth, Stafford and Rebecca Budig's re-ups.

Or maybe they had one, but Michelle Stafford hung it on her dressing room wall and asks everyone to come and see the pelt of the wolf she hunted herself.

Liz: Franco is going to spend Christmas with us, Jakey! Isn't that wonderful?

Jake: Sure.

Cam: Aiden and I are gonna spend Christmas with Grams.

Liz: Uh, okay.

Cam: (under his breath) Gotta keep him from kidnapping Aiden again.

Aiden: What?

Cam: Shh! Never mind. Remember, Dad told us when we Skyped that he'll be there at Gram's, too.

Aiden: Yay! But why can't we tell Mom?

Cam: He said he didn't want to be dragged into this Franco clusterfu- I mean, we just can't, okay?

I'm willing to bet they'll have Griffin be the one to marry them. You know, since he's ordained and so he can make up for whatever wrongs he feels responsible. Even though Nathan shot him.

That would be so stupid...it's totally gonna happen.

Are next week's spoilers super boring?  Three guesses, but you'll only need one:

Later, Dante has a shocking announcement about Tom.

Oh yeah, Tom's dead.  Can't wait to sit through Franco being accused of a murder he didn't commit...AGAIN.

[Melgaypet]

Lucky with a sniper rifle: BANG!

Tom in a cage: GURK!

Franco: EEEK! (flees)

Lucky: WTF?! What's wrong with the sight on this thing?

Edited December 16, 2016 by Melgaypet
Sight and scope are different parts of a gun

[jsbt]

If Ron was still around, revealing that Offscreen Lucky actually killed Tom might seriously be a thing.

[TeeVee329]

I just...I don't get it.  Why do this story with Franco again?  And why, presumably, have the murder of a rapist be your cliffhanger leading into the holidays?

My sister wanted me, my mom, and my other sister to watch all the soap holiday eps again this year (it's kind of a new tradition), but honestly I refuse to allow my family to be put through this shit show!

Let them watch scenes with Nelly or Tree in them if they're having trouble falling to sleep.

[Harmony233]

I Remeber loving watching holidays on soaps but GH has been so boring.I can't think of one story I'm interested in.

[dubbel zout]

Watch Franco be the one to read the Christmas story to the hospital kids, assuming we get that scene at all.

[TeeVee329]

Because why have Kevin or Bobbie read it when the hospital's beloved art therapist slash SERIAL KILLER can! #eyeroll

I'm with you. And the stories and characters get worse as each day passes, which seems impossible but it's happening.

Is Freako reading the Christmas story better or worse than terrorist doctor doing it? I'm not sure. 

[tvgoddess]

Worse. Terrorist doctor didn't sexually assault anyone. They're even on the other stuff.

[dubbel zout]

Also, terrorist doctor isn't being presented as a romantic partner.

Oooooh, I need to find my ATWT holiday dvds that my mom got me a few years ago. That'll be fun.

[LeftPhalange]

I just realized that when Olivia comes back Anna's Justice For Duke bullshit will turn into Justice For Duke And My Unborn Baby Olivia Jerome Killed.

[tvgoddess]

They're going to have two Olivia's at the same time. How does that work? Although I always thought people on soaps say people's full names excessively. Now it will finally be warranted.

[ulkis]

Maybe they'll just have Olivia off-screen for now. Although, ugh, I can definitely picture them giving Olivia some scene where she burbles about the horror of having to share a name with! a! Jerome!

At least everyone will stop blaming Julian for her miscarriage, so almost a silver lining?  Okay, no, but I had to try.  Fuck #JusticeForACat. I'm hoping Olivia is actually Griffin's mom, if only to see Anna's head explode.

I hope it makes Griffin quit the priesthood and do more shirtless scenes or scenes in suits and admit he has been evil all along.  Or be Anna/Faison's secret kid.  Matt Cohen was born to play sexy bad boy, not boring and monotonous priest doctor who got shot by the forest. 

[HeatLifer]

@ulkis I actually really liked the Dante/Anna scenes. Dante actually got to express his feelings and reservations. It sucks that he got over it quickly, though, and told Lulu that he was all in. I kinda wanted it to be more like, "I'll try." Give the story some legs instead making everything into a 30-min sitcom ending.

Edited December 18, 2016 by HeatLifer

[ulkis]

That's the magic of Anna! #justiceforCharlotte, justiceforDuke. works out every other time!

No, but seriously, I agree. But then, I think Lulu should be freaked out by this instead of all just "my child! yay!" I don't know, maybe there'll be something else to this. Charlotte might not adjust to them well.

Also writers please don't write ER's pregnancy in unless Johnny comes in and knocks her up! Or unless they kill poor-doesn't-count-anymore Rocco off.

Edited December 18, 2016 by ulkis

[HeatLifer]

I would change a lot about the story, but if they're going to have Lulu all excited, Dante needs to be the one who is hesitant and questioning things. 

Also, I didn't know Emma (dressed like an indie singer/songwriter) was already airing? I wonder when Robin shows up? Please tell me she has no scenes with Griffin.

[LeftPhalange]

I've always felt like Real Lulu would be cynical and hesitant/reserved about becoming a parent. I'm not saying she wouldn't be happy and then eventually become ecstatic, but I picture Dante being the one to buy 10 baby books, babyproofing their 50 sq ft apartment, etc. If one of them just had to have baby rabies I think it would've been more believable if it had been Dante.

Even now, I think it might make more sense if Dante were on board with Charlotte and Lulu was freaked out.

I don't understand why Ron and now Jelly refuse to let characters have real human emotions. Writing these types of reality-based human stories would be a lot easier than trying to write this embryo shit filled with plot holes or having Sonny or Ava murder someone and then coming up with ridiculous ways to keep them alive and out of prison.

In my head, Lulu is kinda so gung ho about it because she feels guilty she can't give Dante the kind of big family he had as a kid. But like you said, it seems too hard for Jelly to write layers. And they seem to follow stereotypical lines - the women always want the babies, they're the ones scared of the violence, the men are all the cheaters and have big macho tempers.

I agree 100%. Lulu should have had some major fears about becoming a parent. It isn't like she a normal childhood with regular parents. Laura had some massive mental health issues for most of Lulu's childhood. So did her Grandmother Leslie. Luke wasn't always there. We had him admit that for years he saw Lulu as being contaminated thanks to Nik saving her life with his bone marrow. So Lulu was raised by Leslie, Bobbie, Lucky, Nik and even with Elizabeth and Emily. Carly was allegedly added during her teens.

Dante I can easily see being over the moon at the prospect of kids. He grew up with plenty of close cousins, aunts and uncles. Even with Olivia being a single teen mom, he was her only child, but he did grow up in a large, fairly happy family. He was always surrounded by family.

Lulu didn't really have that growing up. Her father was distant and hated her oldest brother. And he was in and out of her life. Her mother lost her mind and was institutionalized for years. Her other brother Lucky was great to her. Emily and Elizabeth were like big sisters to her. Elizabeth especially. Bobbie and Leslie loved her. But that doesn't make up for the truth of Lulu's childhood: it pretty much sucked. She didn't really have parents. So the prospect of parenthood should've been terrifying to her.

Wait, did anyone ever like that shitfest? I still don't understand that crap and the even less sense the whole return of Rick Webber bullshit. 

[dubbel zout]

It was awful. I have no problem with Laura having some emotional issues. But the show completely crapped on Laura when GF had the nerve to ask for parity with TG and wouldn't play ball when refused.

[TeeVee329]

And, of course, the villainization of both Rick Webber and Scotty as part of it wasn't the best.

[dubbel zout]

I don't get the Rick thing at.all. Scott was always kind of a villain, though they went all in with this story.

[Melgaypet]

I'd call him more of a grey hat or rogue, than an actual villain. I don't buy that he'd let Laura take the rap the way that story insisted he did.
