Oracle42 March 2, 2018 Share March 2, 2018 Not to compare Ric to Franco, because no. But it feels like a similar (though less mature, less complex) dynamic Link to comment
Asp Burger March 2, 2018 Share March 2, 2018 I found the Ric story harder to tolerate than the Franco one, really. But I loathed that character, as well as the way Rick Hearst played him. In fairness, he was kneecapped from the start. No in-family enemy of Sonny's was ever going to be a force to be reckoned with. He would always really want Sonny to wuv him, and not even do a good job of hiding it. The similarities in the stories are that in both cases Liz has a lot of scenes in which she tells people the guy is a good man and they don't understand him the way she does, and Carly screeches at him, and Jason beats him up. And in both cases I'd agree that Liz is just a bystander in what's ostensibly at least half her story. It's really more about the guy and how he fits into the overall Port Charles scene. She's there to perform a function. 8 Link to comment

That said, while I dislike several of these characters and it's yucky that Jason is going to be the hero versus mayor Ned or police officer Dante or anyone else, really - I do appreciate the classic soapiness of this - people trapped together, enemies having to help each other, etc. Edited March 2, 2018 by TeeVee329 3 Link to comment

dubbel zout March 2, 2018 Share March 2, 2018 Sam is ready to take the next step. For the life of me, I can't figure out what this refers to. She's already remarried Drew. They have a relatively stable work and home life. Is Sam the one who goes to San Diego to find about Drew's past? Link to comment
Bringonthedrama March 2, 2018 Share March 2, 2018 (edited) 19 hours ago, Oracle42 said: Speaking of LiRic, is there any real difference between this Friz garbage and Liz/Ric? I didn't see the Liz/Ric storyline, but my understanding is that Ric never kidnapped infant Cameron, and I was watching when they got back together - at which point he didn't kidnap any of her three sons. I think Ric didn't stalk Liz, as Franco did by hiding in the backseat of her car? My guesses for the spoilers: Elizabeth is grateful because Jason reluctantly saves Franco because he has heard that Franco is important to Jake. Drew and Kim will have to save Oscar and Josslyn from the freezer because they're now locked in since the dumbass took her in there to make out. Carly will continue to try to bully Nelle, even during an earthquake. She will freak out when she sees Josslyn's dress covered in red. Upon learning that Kim has said more about Drew's past, Sam will say "Okay, we need more information about your past" and will take "the next step." I hope Elizabeth and Kim bond because Liz needs girlfriends and Kim understands what it's like being a medical professional and a parent without a spouse/steady partner.

dubbel zout March 2, 2018 Share March 2, 2018 Ric fed birth control pills to an unsuspecting Elizabeth, who at that time was in danger of stroking out from...something. There was a lot of outcry about that and holding (TB's) Carly in the panic room (she was chained to a radiator or the wall for a while). It was really gross, and astoundingly misogynistic. It says a lot (to me, at least) about Rick Hearst's innate charm and likability that Ric wasn't completely unwatchable after all of this was over. 8 Link to comment

Pingaponga March 2, 2018 Share March 2, 2018 Um, I hate to nitpick, but shouldn't Nelle have been trying to get the gallery ready for the wedding reception instead of lounging around making nasty comments to Carly? She didn't know the wedding was going to be called off. Can't they at least attempt to make it look as though the wedding was going to happen to up the "oh how sad" factor we were supposed to feel when Elizabeth called it off? 1 Link to comment

Supposedly Kevin is injured. Maybe this belongs in unpopular opinions, but it makes sense to me that Laura wouldn't come back for this, assuming Kevin is critically injured. First off, it's not like she's getting live updates on PC, so by the time she finds out, the danger to her family will be over. Secondly, she's not vacationing in Europe, she's tending to Spencer, who is injured. Is she supposed to desert him? Link to comment
IWantCandy71 March 5, 2018 Share March 5, 2018 On 3/1/2018 at 6:54 PM, Asp Burger said: I have to disagree with at least part of that. I think Roger Howarth is a very good-looking man who is holding up well as he approaches 50. The styling on him was terrible in the hobo period, but he's looked fine lately. Rebecca Herbst does have a youthful look, but that's been an issue with some of her other co-stars as much or more than this one. Liz was just a few years out of high-school stories when they married her off to Ric Lansing and his shoe-polished hair, and Scott Reeves looked more plausible for her father than her brother. I think RH looks great for fifty. 6 Link to comment
LadyDot March 5, 2018 Share March 5, 2018 Just wondering, does Charles Street butt up against the water front? Could Jim Harvey be trying to create a new waterfront, a bigger harbor? I hope he doesn't die in the earthquake. I want him to suffer the loss of everything. I also want Drew to find out about him and crucify him.

Auntie Velvet March 7, 2018 Share March 7, 2018 My guess on Harvey is that Betsy let it slip that little Drew was actually a Quartermaine. He had some kind of dastardly plot in mind to make money from the situation, and little Franco overheard it or got creeped out in some way. It's my working theory* about why Franco seemed to feel like he had to protect Drew, rather than for both of the boys to have been in danger. *yes, I AM embarrassed to have puzzled this all out, why do you ask? 3 Link to comment

We've seen nothing to indicate Maxie and Lulu have even spoken since Maxie lashed out at the funeral and Nina told Lulu to leave. What with the way Nina has been acting in regards to Maxie and Baby West - ordering Peter to stay away, and Nina's reaction to Maxie not telling her about the appointment she had in regards to the baby - and also her wanting to get pregnant and have a baby of her own, I wouldn't be surprised at all if the restraining order was Nina whispering in Maxie's ear if not filing the RO herself. She so clearly wants to be Maxie's only support system for this pregnancy and birth. Could we be getting a baby snatch this way? Nina steals Maxie's baby/her niece or nephew? 3 Link to comment
dubbel zout March 12, 2018 Share March 12, 2018 The crowd's reactions to those clips were very funny. I love how Peter goes for genetic testing at GH, where of course no one will ever put it together that Faison had Huntington's disease and might have passed it on to his kids. And look! Here's Peter wanting to know if he has the gene for Huntington's disease. Hmmm. LOL. I know Mercy is a dump, but at least he won't run into anyone he knows over there. 4 Link to comment
