You know, I thought I was gonna feel like this but he barely showed up for JE either. I'm sure if they had their druthers Luke would have come back for more than an episode.

But seriously, Amsterdam? Is they supposed to be showing Tracy and Luke or JE and Tony Geary?

I don't care if he's mute in the scene, he showed up for it to give THEM an ending together. 

How dare they use the spot Samtrick wanted to fuck while investigating a baby's death.

Lulu makes progress with Charlotte #GH

Nice, but are they literally recycling spoilers now? This is what they said weeks ago with the first supervised visit.

And it doesn't go with "dramatic events threatening to take Charlotte away from her for good. Unless they are tying this chimera business with Jake and Anna/Alex and Valentin into Charlotte somehow.

Oh sweet Adeline, someone lie to me and tell me that Luke/Tracy stuff isn't true. The Ned changing his name isn't necessary, but at least with the latest trashing of Larry I can understand it.

Jelly: But when Olivia marries him and Ned adopts Lorenzo Alcazar's reincarnated soul, they'll be Quartermaines too!

So is Nathan supposed to be mad at Maxie who pushed drugs on an addict, pretended to be pregnant with a pillow, lied about being pregnant with her best friends baby and numerous other things for being mean in high school? Crazy Amy taking on Mean Girl Maxie; that will be...something.

Nathan already knows about most of this stuff, and given that a lot of it happened more than a decade ago, exactly what is he supposed to do? The stupid burns so hard.

[Oracle42]

I actually wouldn't mind seeing Nathan paired with Amy.

1. He'd probably be the straight man to her OTT scheming mean nurse - which is a thing I think he could actually play

2. It would probably reduce his screen-time and would mean fewer requests for him to emote

3. It frees up Maxie to make Michael interesting

[TeeVee329]

I just...who was out there saying, "OMG, we need to see more, much more of Amy 2.0!"?

[Oracle42]

Probably FV because she's cheap

Can we have Matt back? This show could use more doctors and decent men!

Ah, you might be right about him hosting the red carpet. I bet that is it. Poor Donny Sheldon (or whatever the hell Felix's boyfriend's name is)! Although maybe he's co-hosting lol.

 

I know history has never been FV/Jelly's strong suit, and that is putting it kindly, but I am guessing that it will be forgotten that Maxie had an absolute shit time in high school from Felecia all but abandoning her (fuck you Guza/JFP), her very first time was broadcast over the internet by the asshole she lost her virginity to and the  weird ass love triangle with Georgie and her cousin Lucas, who blessedly turned out to be gay. The whole reason she was so gung ho with Zander giving her a private prom in her room because no asked her to the school dance. 

Anyways, my point, even though Maxie is attractive, doesn't mean she was popular in high school and she wasn't that popular in high school. She might have been a teen bitch, but she was a teen bitch without any power, and even though Robyn Richards' was playing her at the time and therefore, Guza/JFP didn't give a shit about writing for her, she had a enough crap going on in her own life to play terrorize a girl and if she was her normally rude self, she was a damn kid. 

[ulkis]

That didn't mean she didn't have a spare moment to make fun of Amy.

I bet Amy is lying anyway, so it's probably moot.

It's so galactically stupid either way. It happened more than ten years ago. I totally get how high school scars you, but to actively try to get revenge this much later is so dumb, not to mention incredibly boring to watch.

[TeeVee329]

Meanwhile, she was perfectly happy to do a number with Mean Girl Maxie at the Nurses' Ball last year.  Though I guess she was following the example of Lulu and Valerie, who we were to believe got together to practice that same number after one of them slept with the other's husband.

...no, I'm not letting that go.

[dubbel zout]

Sabotaging an act at the Nurses Ball would be a reasonable revenge, IMO. I know Lucy tries to convince us the thing is sacred, but it's always been a giant cheese-fest. I don't know why more shenanigans don't happen during it (aside from Lucy always ending up in her underwear).

 And I bet some people (maybe Amy included) called her a slut, since her first time was broadcast. I think that a good percentage of people were jerks in high school and grew out of it. If the story of Maxie goes beyond her making the occasionally rude comment and it is confirmed true by Maxie, then I am calling shenanigans.

I am fairly certain the are about to try and justify why Nathan will probably have an affair. So they are laying out the groundwork with the 'Look how horrible Maxie is!'.

As others have mentioned, Maxie has done far horrible things since high school that are known.

[dubbel zout]

Nathan knows most of them, so they shouldn't be what drives him to have an affair. As it is, he doesn't strike me as the affair type to begin with.

[Oracle42]

Aside from dim nice guy who can't read relationship signals - does Nathan have a character/personality that's so developed that we can rule out cheating? He apparently missed the fact that his green card wife was in love with someone else, and when he found out, he tried to murder the guy. 

And the writers and RP got through that whole (stupid) story of unrequited love, betrayal and attempted murder without managing to add any layers to Det. Plywood. I have no idea whether he's cheat or not because he's still a blank slate. For me, that's just one more reason he does not need to be the love interest of a legacy character.

Exactly! Which is why this probable affair somehow has to be Maxie's fault!

He definitely hasn't been developed much, but we have seen that he's a decent guy with a decent sense of morality. The Claudette backstory was totally idiotic, but it did show he hates cheating. I guess? Who knows who anyone is and why they do what they do.

I can't picture him cheating, but that's because I can't picture him working up the requisite passion.

Days got Jason Cook (Matt) back briefly for its 50th anniversary and killing off of Bo Brady, but while the character's role was continuing, Cook wouldn't stay, so they re-cast the role with Brandon Beemer. Would you want to see Matt back with another actor in the role? I'm asking, because I suspect Cook is done with soaps, but came back to DooL a year and a half ago, to send off Peter Reckel.

Am I blocking it out, or did Lucy not end up being exposed in her skivvies, in last year's Nurses' Ball? I maybe made up a story in my head, but I can't remember it happening and I sort of have the semblance of a memory of, "I'm glad they ended that 'tradition'." If she was once again exposed, what was the storyline? The last Lucy-in-Undies story I remember is the outing of her affair with Scottie.

I don't think the show has used either Nathan or Griffin well (ditto Andre and Curtis). Here are four gorgeous men and no one has bothered to write much for them.

Because "of" is not "off."

[Oracle42]

I'd take a Matt recast, with the obvious caveat that FV can't be involved in the casting. I liked the character, his potential and his family. I think he and Liz had good chemistry but nothing so exceptional that they couldn't cast for better

Matt would be another character with no ties to the canvas and no particular reason for being there. Especially considering there are actors playing doctors who are never seen, or who are seen but have no real story.

My bigger problem is the first part.  Liz, find a confidant who a) is your peer and b) would be objective about Franco.

She did not, and like you, I'm glad that ended. Though I suspect it's because Lynn Herring is now "too old," even though she looks as fantastic as ever. 

Look for Jason to come to an important realization.

This sets up too many jokes to write out.

Don’t look for it to go well for Sonny as things heat up.

Oh, please. We all know Sonny will get the better of Carly in the divorce in the end. He never loses, even to Carly.

Franco returns. {May 15} (Why couldn't he stay gone?!)

Elizabeth is hopeful. {May 16} 

Jason has a heart-To-heart with Jake. {May 15} 

Valentin rises to the challenge {May 15} (Hopefully without crying)

Nina confides in Andre. {May 17} (Chem test?)

Lulu catches a break with Charlotte. {May 16} 

Anna gains an ally. {May 16} 

Anna turns the tables. {May 17}

Bobbie wants what's best for Carly. {May 17} (She's going to wax poetic about Carly and Sonny, isn't she?)

Jake's hobby sounds promising. {May 16} 

Lulu is surrounded by family. {May 18}

Robin senses something is amiss. {May 18} (With Anna probably)

Nathan comes to Anna's rescue. {May 19} (To save her from an interrogation from Robin?)

Hayden lays a trap. {May 18}

This sounds just awful enough to entertain me.

I think tptb DEFINITELY have a use for Griffin. If the story hadn't changed he and Maxie would probably be together right now. Since then they've been sweating bullets to make the guy relevant on the show, they just can't think of who to hook him up with.

With JE gone, Dillon will probably be less prioritized and I can picture a Kiki/Dillon chemistry test.

Jesus, even the way the official spoilers are written are anti-Lulu. She wouldn't be in a position to need to "catch a break" with her own daughter if she was written with any indication that anyone but Laura cared about her legitimate feelings in this custody situation and what Valentin's actions did to her AND to Charlotte.

That random-ass promo (and Franco's head bounce) is priceless. Why do they keep switching places?!

1. Herring has about a decade or so on me, and I would be proud to be built like that brick house.

2. I hate Sonny so much, I might have to go to confession. It's okay, I'm already on my way there, thanks to political things. 

3. Yeah, isn't Sam Liz's only real age peer? I guess Lulu and Maxie (should she return) are near enough, but considering the subject is Franco, it's no less fraught with them than it is with Sam.

Shhhhhh. The writers have probably already forgotten that HayChel is a Webber.

I'd rather at least hear Liz call Sarah Webber giving her an update on life and ask her opinion on Jake and Franco. Or hell, beg her to come and help out.

[TeeVee329]

It is crazy to me that they've done next-to-nothing with Liz and Rebecca Budig being sisters.  It makes it clear it was only ever about getting viewers on board with Rebecca Budig ("Now she's a Webber, the viewers will have to love her!"), which is so lazy and lame.
