I had to struggle to remember who the little girl with Felicia was.

I hope Obama gives another speech during the wedding and ABC decides not to replay the episode because reasons.

MAC AND FELICIA ARE ACTUALLY WITH THEIR GRANDDAUGHTER!!!!!

...why is Griffin there?  Anna doesn't need an escort, Robin and Emma are in attendance.  He's not super close with either the bride or groom and, in fact, the groom once shot him for sleeping with his wife!  Him being there is stooopid.

And I'm sure it goes without saying that Lucas' (and Brad's) absence is horseshit.

Is Griffin still a priest? I want him to walk up to the alter and punch Tree in the face for shooting him.

I legitimately was scratching my head as to whom their granddaughter was. Poor Forgotten Georgie the Second. I did forget her.

[ulkis]

At least you don't watch the show though! It's more understandable you forgot.

True, but I think it's also a sign of bad writing since it WAS so easy to forget! Maxie should have never been pregnant.

I think so?  I know he was talking about it giving it up during the six seconds he was Charlotte's dad, but I'm not sure if he went through with it.

It still amazes me what a waste of time and plot energy that whole Nathan/Griffin/Claudette story ended up being.

Poor Michael. He's their young male lead (or should be) and he gets nothing really.

Carly will tell Lulu she should have listened to her when she told Lulu never to trust Robin!

Liz is horrified by something she discovers.

She's dating a serial killing rapist, I can't imagine anything horrifies her anymore. 

[TeeVee329]

Quote

Brad worries about [Dr. Michael Easton].

Brad and [Dr. Michael Easton] discuss unfinished business.

This smells of Brad going under the bus somehow for Dr. Michael Easton.  Like, "Oh no, that evil Brad wants to tell people that he's still practicing medicine while on drugs, how dare he!".

Also, Brad should spend more time worrying about the fact he and his husband haven't been on-screen together in over six months.

Brad is married, you say? Is this alleged husband someone we know?

Someone accuses Liez of lying again and she just can not believe someone would dare make such a shocking accusation against her. Or Audrey tells her she can't take care of her brood because she has plans and Liez is appalled. 

[peachmangosteen]

The way this is worded makes it sound like they're both on set but not having scenes together, which is annoying. But I guess yay! that we will be getting another Lucas sighting eventually.

Edited January 13, 2017 by peachmangosteen

[TeeVee329]

You could also take it as a "Hey, we're actually filming together today, isn't it crazy that we haven't in months."  But yeah, I'm happy that we're going to see Lucas again relatively soon, even though it's BS that the show thinks these spotty appearances are enough versus an actual story.

Yea that was my first thought, but then the wording made me question it. 

I feel like one of the biggest mistakes they're making (and there are so many) is not giving Lucas anything at all to do. 

[ulkis]

Scuttlebutt is Carnes doesn't want to be on contract, but who knows if that's true.

[peachmangosteen]

I've thought of that as well and I think it's probably true tbh.

[HeatLifer]

Sometimes I can't believe Brad is still on this show. A completely underdeveloped character who was a complete crappy person played by a severely mediocre actor.

That describes so many people, I apologize.

I think it's probably true, too. I seriously doubt we'd see more of Lucas if RC were on contract. He's not one of the favorites. It's likely terrible scheduling that we don't see Lucas more than RC being unavailable.

Hee. I have a soft spot for Brad, though, for some reason. I don't mind him being around.

That reminds me. Wasn't Bobbie made head nurse again? I think they forgot they did that.

Much like they forgot she was supposed to be Avery's nanny, once upon a time.

I have a soft spot for Brad, too.  Maybe it's from the Hatchet movies...

[peachmangosteen]

They forget a lot of things. It's kinda scary lol.

I too have a soft spot for Brad. I think PS is pretty good too tbh.

PS did an amazing job bring Brad back from the gross perv he was when we first saw him.

Yeah, they made such a thing about that, I thought it would at the very least serve as some kind of plot point.  I guess it still could, maybe it puts Bobbie in the position to learn something about Nelle?

As for Ryan Carnes, I could see him not wanting to be on contract, but my feeling is, contract or no contract, this show has no interest in writing a real story for Lucas (/Brad).  Ditto Kristina, now the the initial buzz they got for making her bisexual has died down.

[the brother]

So so many many plotholes that deserve their own thread, the case of the missing wife Rosalie, the loose end mention of Brad's parents as part of the 80's Asian Quarter Wu Clan, the potential link between Olivia and the Wu's since she's been hiding out there for 26 yrs, give or take. What's her tie to the hit put out on her long lost love Duke?

Look at how weak the writing on today's episode was: for weeks Julian had referred to his boss as 'Jessup' and all of a sudden Rudge refers to OJ as 'she' and he doesn't blink an eye? So how surprised is he supposed to be when good ol sis rears her....head?

Why do I think since Anna is busy with WSB brain block that she will not even bat an eye when the real Oscar shows up, thus ignoring 26 yrs of dear ol Duke hiding out from the ghost of Jonathan Paget. So so sad...can't wait for this storyline to bomb so hard and Jerry Jax is revealed as Sean Donely in a Faison mask as the man behind the latest Jerome incarnation. Next!

PS when is someone gonna let poor Shawn out for NOT shooting Rachel so he can play father to TJ once every few months?

Never, I hope. Or at least if they do I hope it's all off screen! Also, it took me awhile to figure out who Rachel was lol.

I'm assuming that Julian knows the boss is Olivia. I mean he has to, right? This story is even dumber if he doesn't even know it's her. So, you're right, he probably doesn't know!

Poor Shawn nothing.  He's a mob hitman who went there to kill Jake(son) and fired a bullet to that effect.  I'm fine with him being in jail.

So Jamey Giddens confirms that Jane Elliot is leaving soon. 

What should they do about the Qs? Is there anything TO be done? If I were writing it, I think . . . I don't know if this is an ideal solution, but I would get Michael in there, have him make a marriage for business reasons . . . I don't know, someone blackmails him or something, or he's so jaded at this point about his prospects in relationships that he marries for money to help ELQ . . . and he gets his own marriage of convenience love story. I'd also recast Dillon. I'd say make Ned a more permanent presence, but I don't know at this point.

IMO,I don't think there's anything to be done at this point. There's legit no one left. :( And Michael, unless he's recast (sorry, Chad), can't handle the job of being the head of the Qs. He can barely handle a love story.

So who is even left of the Q's? Monica, Dillon, and Michael - when he decides to be a Q, a quarter of the time?

Monica and Ned, really.

I don't acknowledge Dillon, but I'm sure people do. Michael, I guess, if we're being generous, but GH will always see him as a Corinthos.

I was trying to be nice about Chad. But yeah, I'd recast him too. Buuuut all his love stories have been about the women telling Michael how awesome he is. So I'd give him one last chance at an antagonistic relationship. 

[LexieLily]

And honestly, Monica is barely on-screen and Ned is onscreen even less than her, so...

Why don't you acknowledge Dillon? In general or because of this actor?

Ned, and Brook Lynn.

Mostly the actor. And when I think of the Qs, I mainly think of Edward, Alan, Lila, Monica, Ned, AJ, Jason, Emily, Tracy.

So from there, I answer "who's left?" Monica and Ned.

It's sad but it also shows you how long this show has been on the air and just the cycle of life.

*whisper* There's always Skye.

[peachmangosteen]

I just hope that if JE is leaving she gets a semi-decent exit. At first I was gonna hope for a good exit, but then I figured that was too optimistic. And then I thought decent was probably a bit too much as well, so I settled for semi-decent.

[dubbel zout]

Tracy had better leave alive, that's all I can say.

[TeeVee329]

She better not leave to run after Luke, that's all I can say.

[dubbel zout]

Ugh, I'd forgotten all about that!

Oh, god, that might happen, actually. Because Laura is very much with Kevin now, and the Laura/Tracy scene in the hospital re: the skeleton found on CI was all about Laura saying out loud that she wouldn't go chasing after Luke and giving Tracy permission to do so if she wanted to.

[jsbt]

I won't tolerate this Chad Duell slander. I think he is at his best with the Qs and at ELQ and also has an amazing chest.

[ulkis]

Chad and his chest need to spread their wings. And I'm not just saying it for Agenda Reasons.
