I don't think Tracy and Luke are getting a HEA. She isn't the same person she was even two years ago. If they do, I'll just do like fans of Heroes did and pretend that ending doesn't exist. I don't mind Laura being involved, but Laura has always bored me. She's a big "meh" to me. But Laura and Luke in Tracy's last story? No ma'am. It should be about her and Michael going to find an alive AJ, with Ned and Dillon following behind. 

Dillion can stay behind.  Lauren can't sit with Tracy and AJ.   I wish Tracy's last scenes were her and AJ making up, her bringing alive AJ to Monica, threatening Sonny to stay away from her nephews as she explains in full detail what Carly and Sonny did to their family to Jason, and then handing ELQ over to Micheal,  Ned,  and AJ.   No stupid Luke,  plus it gets the ball rolling for future story.  Give Jane some material for her goodbye.

Eh, Lauren doesn' t have to come along, but both Tracy's kids should be in as  many scenes with her as possible. Not Luke. Not Laura.

I agree, as I already said, I'm bummed how un-Quartermaine-centric this story seems so far.  It would have been a good place to bring in Brook Lynn for a visit too, maybe even Skye to scrap with Tracy one more time.  But so far, it's just Lord "Gave Tracy Brain Worms" Ashton, recast at that.  

But I'll take Laura and Luke involved over Rebecca Budig and Dr. Michael Easton.

Duke was held in a turkish prison and it wouldn't surprise me one iota if they make Jane's exit about Duke.

[TeeVee329]

Turkey is also where Stavros spotted Lulu and began his obsession with her.  Hey, maybe Tracy will find another embryo for Baby Rabies McGree. #eyeroll

As much as I have issues about Tracy propping Finn and Hayden, I have to say the opposite. I actually believe Tracy adores Finn and Hayden and vice versa. They have  genuine friendship between them. Tracy and Luke were only ever friends when Luke was with Anna and Tracy was with Joe. And while to my surprise, I like the chemistry with Jane and Genie, and I do think they have a budding frenemyship, I don't buy Tracy would want her to come, translator ship aside. And I don't buy Laura would say yes. Part of that is also that I want to enjoy Jane's last days. There will be inevitable comparisons (maybe not here, but other places) that Tracy is a horrible person because of the heart pill incident, and how Laura is an angel for helping such a wretched witch. And yet never a mention of Laura's sins. I know it will happen, because it already is. I had to sit through the vitriol each time Genie came back and Luke and Tracy were involved. No thank you to any more of that. Why taint Jane's final story? It's so ridiculous.

[TeeVee329]

I was thinking about David Fumero's last days as Cristian on OLTL.  While his final few days had the veneer of reflecting on his long character history, with his approaching Jessica about possibly restarting their relationship, it was really about propping something new (and gross), i.e. laying the track for Jessica's relationship with the odious Ford, with all of Cristian's goodbyes shoved into one episode.  That would be my fear if Rebecca Budig and Dr. Michael Easton were involved in this.

[IWantCandy71]

And see, I think it will be just as much about Luke, or Laura, or Luke and Laura, as it will be about Tracy. Not denying it wouldn't be about Finn and Hayden as well. You are probably right on that. I kind of figured some time ago, that these writers can't or won't write something for Tracy that is about Tracy. It's why I said previously that I have bottom barrel expectations. But to me, bringing back Geary is just sickening. I don't even care if Jane is happy about it. I don't want him and his hammy acting interfering with JE's final days. I really do think she won't go off with him, I think in the end she'll choose herself.

I know. What's the point of revisiting it? I think Ava should face consequences, but it's Maura West, so the show isn't going to send her offscreen for months or kill Ava. It will be the usual lame followthrough (or lack thereof). I don't want to watch Sonny and Carly berate her for months and/or (more likely "and") use Avery as punishment against her. UGH.

Especially considering we've already seen this before.

I swear, this show is literally just the same exact thing over and over and over. In every story.

[OnceSane]

Any chance the letter from Lady Jane to Joss explains that LJ was the one who bought Nelle's kidney?  I really don't want Jax going under the bus for Carly & Sonny again.

[dubbel zout]

I like that idea, but wouldn't Jax want Joss to read the letter sooner rather than later? Also, LJ being the buyer doesn't solve the problem of how anyone would know Nelle was compatible at the same time Joss suddenly needed a kidney. I'd rather someone dead (most sincerely dead) go under the bus for this than Jax, but the basic issue exists no matter what.

[Cheyanne11]

The thing that pisses me off most about Jax presumably being behind buying Nelle's kidney is the way Sonny and Carly will react.  AS IF they wouldn't do that themselves.

That is the problem with SORASING kids. You need to do the whole group. Why have Joss as a 12/15 if she has nobody around for her group. Molly/Kristina had that same issue. They should be much closer to Cam's age. But Cam doesn't age. And it is getting silly. Sure, it makes sense for Molly and Kristina to be older. Since Alexis was *ahem* an older parent. But it is just nuts to have the Webber boys be about their right age and have Spencer, Emma, Joss, Morgan, Molly and Kristina age by SORAS. Hell, Danny is now about the same age as Aiden.

Michael, Serena, Kristina and Steven Lars' son (Jeffrey!) should have all been teens back in 2009 like we saw with Elizabeth, Nik, Lucky, Emily and Georgie, Lulu, Dillon, Sage, Maxie and Diego.  

Morgan, Cam, Molly and Spencer should be the current set of teens and then we have Jake, Emma, Joslyn, and Christina Collins.

Guza really screwed up the SORASing in 2009 and it has continued under FV's regime.

[Jenniferbug]

I didn't even know that Steven Lars had a son! Wouldn't Christina Collins be in the same peer group as Molly and Spencer or am I seriously off on when she was born?

I'm totally fine with the two of them saying and doing whatever they want to each other-I just don't think they should be hijacking-or even in-Jane's last storyline to do it.  I think Tracy shut the door on Luke in any romantic sense two years ago, and since he didn't even bother to call when she had brain worms that we know of....what do they even need to be in the same room for?

Lulu is the only active connection the three of them as a unit should ever have. If they were all plotting to bring down Valentin(who started out with such promise and is already annoying me) to help Lulu, that's fine. Anything else makes little sense.

Jax was desperate and bought a kidney on the black market to save his baby daughter's life.  Sonny secretly bought a heart on the black market to save Alice, the Quatermaine maid.  Sonny's motive for doing this was to somehow get back into Michael's good graces.  Both men were in a moral gray area.  Jax did what he did because it was his baby who was dying.  Sonny did what he did for self serving reasons. He gave no thought about the other transplant candidate and his/her family.   I give Jax a pass, Sonny not so much.

I don't think Steve does, unless I missed something. 

Christina Baldwin. I don't believe Scott signed over his parental rights to Kevin. On screen, he decided to take a step back after Christina was returned so she could readjust, but nothing formal. She would be in a similar per group as Michael and other Kristina, believe it or not.

Add in TJ Hardy to Georgie/Maxie set, put Christina Baldwin in with Morgan/Cam/Kristina and add  maybe add Molly to the Jake/Spencer/Emma set. Aiden can be in with Danny/Baby Emily/Leo/Avery future set. Plus they can alway add Lila Rae, any Jimmy Lee Holt branch of the Qs. Dillon has his other half brother(plus any other Jenny/Paul kids). Sly Eckert could have kids by now too. Even look into the Ward family returning. Q related or not. Maybe have some branches from Monica's family tree show up.

But yeah, this show really has f'd up the generations of kids on the show.

Sonny didn't tell anyone that he did this especially not Michael and Morgan. That was shown only to the viewing audience and the truth bever came out.

[movingtargetgal]

Sonny did this in secret because it was illegal.  He did it to lessen his guilt about what he had done to Michael.  He used Alice's illness to get closer to Michael.  He did not do this because he cared about Alice.  He did it for himself and if Michael found out he would have known his father was manipulating him.  Sonny used the situation as an "in" to get back into Michael's life by playing the caring supportive father role.

LOL.  Steven Lars does not have a child!  I made that part up to show that the show blew it when it came to the teen and tween sets.  Steven came to town toward the end of 2009 and Michael / Kristina were already teens.  It would have made sense for his son to be for Krissy and Serena for Michael.  The show would have had a Hardy/Webber, Baldwin, Corinthos and Corinthos teen set.

Yes, Christina Collins would actually move over to the set with Molly, Spencer, Cam and Morgan.

Sonny still THOUGHT he did it-that's what should count to Carly. Sonny is so full of himself, he'll think it changes things. And nobody else can stand Carly long term, so it probably will. But a big part of their problems is that no one is shocked that Sonny was unfaithful. Sonny prizes loyalty from others, but he's pretty much incapable of giving it, unless you are his true love, Jason. As much as I really kind of loathe Carly-get some self respect, woman !! Geez.

And I am kind of wondering if Geary is even back filming. Has any mag or anyone reliable even verified he's taped anything? Him being in a pic with FV and CH doesn't mean much. He could have come back just for her wrap party.  And Jane is done taping. You'd think there'd be more tidbits if it were true. I'm going with, it's all a hoax, until the evidence is on screen.

LOL that Sonny sleeping with Nelle is the worst betrayal to Carly. 

Now that the drugging secret and Jax's involvement in the kidney donation are out, how exactly are they positioning Nelle? I haz confused.

[ulkis]

They're "redeeming" her. Joss said it yesterday, she still kinda likes her despite what she's done. And probably more romance with Michael.

I can see the appeal of Kiki/Dillon even though I'm not into them. Michael/Nelle feel like someone dumped a wet blanket over me.

Which is weird to me, because although Nelle aimed her wrath at the wrong person, it was unwitting. She didn't know Carly wasn't involved in the kidney donation. Drugging Sonny was awful no matter what. I hated that. But Nelle wanting some justice wasn't entirely unreasonable. She just went about it the wrong way and against the wrong person. 

Plus, Nelle's actions were always stacked against her, and that sort of mitigated the revenge idea (idea only; again, the drugging was gross) for me. There was targeting the wrong person and the whole Morgan's death thing. Knowing Sonny and Carly always win gives me a rooting interest in her for that alone.

Lauren/Dillon have a spark. Michael/Nelle are always talking about the terrible things that have happened to them. 

Speaking of Lauren/Dillon, I appreciate that we got her current career trajectory spelled out. She's taking a class; in six weeks she'll be a licensed/certified nurse's aide. The time table might be too quick, but for the position, it's acceptable for me. It's not like Emily getting her MD over a commercial break.

I couldn't give less of a care about Nell drugging Sonny. I just want Scott to scream at Sonny "How did you like being drugged, you child drugging rapist scumbag?" in front of Sonny's beloved children. And have Sonny answer the inevitable follow up questions from Kristina, Michael, Molly, Joss and even TJ (if the show remembers TJ's Sonny worship).

If only the show would have Lauren talk about college. This newfound interest into mental illness would gel a bit more. Especially if Lauren decided to look into her own family's instabilities.
