Spoilers and Speculation: Clink Boom and Cheese Fondue

[dubbel zout]

At least with Sam it's unintentional, whereas Alexis knew full well that Ric and Sonny were half-brothers

Will Sam reassure OGJason his penis is bigger? Hee.

[Chairperson Meow]

The only way this will work is if Jason goes ham on everyone.   Just be mad af at the whole damn town.   Besides Monica because she's suffered enough.

That's SWSNBNeds schtick.

[peachmangosteen]

SWSNBNeds?

[navelgazer]

She Who Shall Not Be Named-ed's is how I read that. 

[dubbel zout]

I was referring to the scene where Alexis and Ric were talking in Kelly's about something, and she told him that she knew his penis was bigger than Sonny's, having slept with both of them, so he one-upped Sonny there, if nowhere else.

OH! I thought it was SWSNBN at first but then the Ned at the end was throwing me off and I thought it was some Ned nickname I wasn't aware of.

[Oracle42]

Now that OGJason is coming back and there's a scriptwriter who is at least vaguely familiar with Liz, maybe she'll get a explanation for her behavior WRT Jakeson that is better than "it was my turn"

This is why I hate ANY Jason; the Liz and Sam fan bases are once again sharpening their knives, despite the fact that any real fans of either character should want their girls far away from the brain-damaged serial killer.

I agree, but TBH, I've never understood the Sam/Liz debate anyway. I don't find either character to be all that. Certainly not worth fighting over, either a character on the show fighting for them, or fans fighting about them.

To your point, however-Jason is not a good man. Full stop. Speaking of comparisons, the Franco/Jason comparisons are equally hilarious. They are both murderers, and for the most part, are unrepentant murderers.  I would think any fan of any character would want their faves to NOT touch that with a  ten foot pole. But, that's me.  I think the only fitting end game for Jason or Franco is prison or death. Happily ever afters should not be their story-not with any woman. But then, I'm just a woman with a modicum of self respect, hoping and expecting that fictional women will have the same self respect and not kiss the butt of someone who killed for art, or someone who killed to pay the bills.

It's been argued that people would rather see their faves with someone terrible than not see their faves at all. I hate seeing Elizabeth with the SERIAL KILLER—the writing for that couple is especially heinous—but when the alternative is barely seeing her at all, I guess I'm glad she get some attention. It's a tough one for me.

I might be an oddball but I'd rather my fave be off-screen forever than have to watch certain plots or pairings they would be involved in.

Michael confronts Nelle after Curtis informs him she is a skilled swimmer which means she could have saved Zach, but she covers well. #GH

Just...stop it, Show.  Fuckin' stop it.

[dubbel zout]

UGH. I did appreciate Curtis telling Michael he might not like what Curtis finds. Michael is as blinkered as his parents when it comes to that sort of thing, but at least Curtis was able to say it.

It works the same with the never-ending Who-Gets-Jason wars.  Fans quickly twig that whatever actress gets paired with that character automatically gets more stories and screen time, so naturally they root for their girl to be with Jason.  If this show was even remotely balanced, it wouldn't be an issue, but it isn't, so...

[Oracle42]

To be fair to the Jasebot, it's not just the screen-time - SBu has had great chemistry with a surprising number of co-stars.

It's not really surprising. It's just something a lot of people don't like to admit for some reason. Whether it's bc they have a problem with him personally or because they hate the character, I don't know. But there is not one significant actor or actress that I can think of that he's had zero chemistry with. He's had better chemistry with some more than others, but he's never had problems connecting with other actors.

I CANNOT with this Nelle promo:

Some angry thoughts...

1) If Nelle is some career black widow, wouldn't she have actually stayed in NYC until she had gotten that dead dude's money?

2) Are we supposed to forget that she came to town to target CARLY, not Michael?  And didn't Sonny offer her some big payout to leave town?  She would have taken that if all she wanted was money.

3) Chloe Lanier can make that smirky face as much as she wants, this attempt to be all, "Nelle's a bad girl, SHE'S BAD!" is beyond pathetic, especially because you know there's no way it's actually true.

[dubbel zout]

Oh, lord, what a boring promo. (Though the spider is a very good touch.) The stakes are absolutely zero here, because it's not as if she's done anything to Michael that would indicate she is some sort of black widow. Her lies have been laughable. At least ratchet up the ambiguity about 1000 percent before having Michael sic Curtis on the case.

[TeeVee329]

None of it lines up with what happened on-screen.  We saw (boring, lame, vanilla) scenes of her choosing love over her revenge on Carly, but now we're supposed to consider that that was a con?

I still think it would have made more sense if she had seduced Michael from the get-go as another way to get at Carly.

Edited October 12, 2017 by TeeVee329

[ulkis]

I don't know, I think it might be true. I think they may have given up on that character. My problem is she shouldn't be any threat to Michael. There's naive and a nice guy, and then there's idiotic.

Is Carly getting her own MyFoundation? Will she, like CopKilla before her, adopt a troubled 25 year old?

[jsbt]

Why does Nelle look so tired

[dubbel zout]

Wouldn’t you be exhausted fending off Carly and her constant harping?

[ulkis]

Her too long hair is sucking out her energy.

[TeeVee329]

Being a black widow is taxing. 

[Fellaway]

If it turns out that Nelle is, indeed, some femme fatale black widow wicked city woman, after all, the worst part of that storyline will be that Carly and Sonny were right.

[TeeVee329]

If Nelle is some kind of black widow murderess, I will literally mail the studio a check if there's a scene where Carly screeches at Michael about how he could fall in love with a murderer and he holds up a mirror all, "Wanna say that again?".

[dubbel zout]

Please. Carly has a good reason for everything she does.

SBJason is going to murder Franco after he goes on another murder emo sad spree.  Which I am not sad for because there are too many worthless characters that exist in place of ones the show needs.  If the show really had good writers, they'd make SBu the real tortured serial murderer Franco.   It sounds weird, but it's better than Jason Wins LOL

From the spoilers:

Griffin makes peace with his decision

If that means he has left the priesthood, about effin' time!  He's been wasted long enough...

Things get muddy between right and wrong

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! "Right" flew out the window when fuckin' Sonny Corinthos ate the show alive, and hasn't come back since.

[Asp Burger]

An unexpected pairing creates tensions between friends

Please, let this be anything except Sonny telling Griffin, "You're DEADTOME!" Because (1) you'd have to have been in the Himalayas for months to find Griffin/Ava unexpected at this point, whether you're a viewer or a PC resident, and (2) the Griffin/Sonny "friendship" has mostly consisted of Griffin walking in on Sonny feeling sorry for himself and offering absolution.

My guess is that the tension between friends is Anna/Griffin, though I've forgotten what Anna has against Ava. The idea that Ava's sister murdered Duke, Griffin's father?

Maaaaannnn.  We could have a dozen Jasons.  Steve Burton playing every role.  And it would still be worth it to never hear of Duke Justice again.

Well, yeah.  I think if he doesn't murder him, it will be out of character.   I do think Steve Burton 's reactions to the events of the past 5 years will be worth it.  When he chooses to, his facial expressions are kinda awesome.

I'm seeing something coming where Jake sees Old Jason threatening or assaulting Franco and is traumatized, and is all "Get away from him! You're a monster!" and then Jason has to lug around the Box o' Pain.

I'm sure it's been upgraded to a treasure chest of pain now.  The question is will Jasonx2 recognize the kid he thinks is dead?   Or the kid he thought was Franco's via rape?  I kinda want to see Jason V.1 see some people he does not know or thinks are dead.  Like, I need a scene of Monica filling him in on the events past five years.

From the above article:  

Quote

He has Jason’s face, and he has his eyes, and people won’t know what to do

Please. They'll all default to type.  

Liz: Fainting like a Victorian damsel.   

Sam: Widening her eyes and whispering, "Oh my God, this isn't real. It's my cat poo disease. It's got to be." But you'll only know that if you have the captions on; it will all come out on one gust of breath.  

Sonny: Turning "Jason, is that really you?" into a stammerfest with twice the syllables.  

Carly: Leg-humping.

I love how she says this is “something we fans have never seen before.” Yeah, lookalikes are so unusual on soaps!

This week on "Generally Jason So Shut Up About Other Characters":

GH PTB: My gawd, the mystery!!!  The intrigue!!!  Who is the imposter, WHO!!!

Me: ...you've made it clear from the jump who the imposter is.  You even introduced the twin retcon way earlier than in the Tale of Two Todds that you're clearly riffing on.

Wow, it didn’t take them long to add SBu to the group shot.

And I add a LOL and an eye roll to the “mystery.” Please. There was NEVER a doubt.

[ulkis]

I think it was a smart decision to make it clear though. This show doesn't need more plotting.

Although who knows, they might come up with some bull about SB was brainwashed to think he was Jason.

[dubbel zout]

I’m certain there will be a “which one is the real Jason?” period, but I think it will be for the characters, not the viewers. IOW, we know SBu is the real Jason, but PC won’t know right away.

Yeah, with the Todds, we all figured that Roger Howarth was the real one, but we didn't have an explanation as to who the other person could be for a while.  Here, we already do - it's Franco's childhood pal Drew, barf.
