Can she drop her off in another state, tho? Thnx.

She can drop her off in Florida. She'd fit right in with the rest of the crazies.

Can I just say how the banner on that page makes me fly into a rage?

I've had too much exposure to Anna putting everyone and a BLT in front of her daughter.

In the next couple of weeks, I have read spoilers about how Laura becomes a pawn in Julian's game/Julian uses Laura to his advantage, Laura does not come through for Tracy, and then finally, in early March, Kevin searches for the truth.

I assume Laura is getting pulled into this now because she is on the hospital board - maybe Julian somehow convinces Laura to sway the board to take Olivia J's offer and not the Q's - but what truth is Kevin searching for? Sadly I don't see them giving him a story independent of Laura so it has to do with her/the hospital board/selling GH vs keeping it open. Will Julian hurt Laura or go after her somehow?

Someone on twitter at the GH event today (see the press thread) said that the Nelle secret is out in a week and a half.

As in we'll find out why the fuck she's doing her bland blackmail thing or just that it will be revealed to Carly that she 'slept with' Sonny?

[ulkis]

I dunno. I assume the former. But this being GH, we know it could be the latter.

Regardless of what is revealed, it's still three months too late.

[LeftPhalange]

I guarantee the secret won't fully be revealed or it will only be revealed to the audience or it will be retconned when Jelly decide they want to stick Michael with another bland nothing.  

[TeeVee329]

...what "murder mystery"?  I mean, I guess Olivia J. being responsible for Morgan's death was a mystery to the "pregnant P.I." (siiigh), but I wouldn't really call this story a "murder mystery".  "More mob shit", maybe.

ETA...and Sam solving the case seemingly by Olivia J. kidnapping her...is not really solving the case.

Edited February 20, 2017 by TeeVee329

[dubbel zout]

Morgan wasn't murdered in the sense of being specifically targeted, either. He was the idiot collateral damage. But it's not as if there's anything else going on that could be classified as drama.

[HeatLifer]

LMAO. Sam struggles versus a woman but was able to take a 250 lb man while in heels.

[dubbel zout]

She's pregnant now, which automatically makes her as weak as a kitten.

Here's a question - it certainly looks like the end is nigh for Olivia J.  So she really had no plan to go after her arch enemy Anna directly?  Are Finola Hughes and Tonja Walker even going to share a real scene?

[Oracle42]

Did TIIC bring Olivia J back from the fuckin dead just to give Julian an excuse for attempting to murder his wife and to take the fall for Ava switching Morgan's pills?

Yes. Oh, and I guess her trying to get the hospital set up the whole nurses strike in motion. It was mainly for Julian.

I've heard that FH hated TW when she was first on. Maybe that has something to do with them not sharing a scene. But maybe they will yet. Anna couldn't have a scene with Olivia J yet, otherwise the whole scheme would have been blown out of the water.

I think this is set-up for another return down the line.  I believe OJ escapes for now, but I'm almost positive we'll see her again in 3-6 months.

Well if that's true, the writers putting in a scene where Anna bumbles around blind while Olivia J. smirks is...an interesting choice.

[ulkis]

FH definitely disliked TW back in the day. Whether she still does, I dunno.

[TeeVee329]

It just seems weird that with all this set-up, all these flashbacks to their rivalry, that they wouldn't interact once.  But I could see OnceSane being right and Olivia J. escaping to target Anna another day.  Her narrative purpose right now was to "exonerate" Julian.

[jsbt]

In fairness, IIRC TW can be a little, uh, eccentric. She used to give interviews specifically, repeatedly asking for Cat Hickland's character on OLTL (a scheming blonde of a certain age, like her character of Alex Olanov) to be killed off so Alex could return.

As if to directly address my complaints from yesterday, I'm seeing spoilers on Twitter that Anna and Olivia J. will come face-to-face in early March.

[TeeVee329]

Looks like Nora is going to be Valentin's attorney.  There's a cable guide spoiler that Valentin meets with his lawyer on March 7th.

Edited February 23, 2017 by TeeVee329

[Aurora2]

If Nora is going to be Valentin's lawyer, I can see this custody case being detailed and messy - very messy.   

[TeeVee329]

I know the answer is TV, but I'm curious what rationale will be offered as to why Nora is taking this out-of-state case.  Surely she would have researched Valentin's shady history?

I'm also reminded that I'm a little sad Valentin didn't somehow blackmail Alexis into being his lawyer.  They haven't shared a scene in forever and I really liked their dynamic.

[Oracle42]

The scene with Alexis was the only time I really enjoyed him - despite the stupidity of the new 30 year old unprobated will

[TeeVee329]

FINALLY.

[dubbel zout]

I'm not holding my breath, but this is a step in the right direction.

[TeeVee329]

I hope she's directing that trademark Carly snarl at Sonny versus Nelle at this juncture.  It's actually nice to see Carly get angry and snarly for a change.  So sick of soccer mom Carls.

[jsbt]

Yeah, I can't see Nora taking Valentin Cassadine's case if she becomes familiar with the details re: Nikolas, etc. (Still dead, right?) But if he's presented to her differently who knows.

Right! That little bit in that promo is the most I've been interested in Carly/enjoyed LW's acting in a really long time.

Yup, I assume Nora doesn't have all the facts.  Maybe he massaged the paper trail given his imprisonment and exoneration re: Nikolas' death happened overseas?

Did Nora ever serve as an attorney in a custody case before, I can't remember.

Edited February 23, 2017 by TeeVee329

[jsbt]

I'm pretty sure she has. I can't recall offhand, though.

[dubbel zout]

What soap lawyer hasn't done a little bit of everything? (Not meaning this as snark.)

[TeeVee329]

I was just thinking that if there was a well-known one from OLTL I'm not remembering on Nora's CV, I'm sure a mention of it will get dropped in.

Edited February 24, 2017 by TeeVee329

Nora represented Viki and Clint when they sued Tess and Ford for custody of Ryder.

Nelle decides she wants a future with Michael.

GIRL!  You are worst at scheme!

Kevin looks for answers.

Hmmm, about what?

[ulkis]

I didn't bother posting tvsource cause there was nothing new from the magazine spoilers. Their spoilers got way more vague than they used to be.

Geez, Nelle, maybe if you'd put your plan into action sooner and worked faster, you wouldn't be having second thoughts or feelings for your revengee's son. Oy.

That's because nothing is happening and it's hard to write exciting spoilers for "same shit, different (month)day"

[peachmangosteen]

All those spoilers suck, sound borng as hell, or both. But the worst are any that involve Nelle and her lame ass scheme or Franco/Liz.

Although the one about Michael being mad at Sonny I like only because CD has been so bad lately and he's usually pretty good when he's playing 'pissed at Sonny.'

It's so clear that TIIC had no idea what they were doing when they had Julian going all EEEEEEEE-Vil on Alexis.  Julexis fans were right to be pissed.

It's like the writers go out of their way to alienate every single fanbase. 

[dubbel zout]

Julian has always had someone pulling the strings, for some reason. Olivia J. is yet another in a line of people he's been beholden to. He's very biddable.
