Like they did with Maxie and Georgie crushing on Lucas, they totally admitted it was weird. Or Franco and Liz sharing a brother has been noted at least once. I'm the first one to say "no incest, please," but Michael/Nelle doesn't bother me at all. First of all, Carly was adopted, so there's no blood tie with Nelle. Second, she was long gone by the time Nelle came along, and neither of them knew the other existed until the plot demanded it. Plus, I don't think we ever saw Frank Benson, did we? And with Virginia dead, there's nothing in recent memory to connect them. With Franco and Steven Lars, there's Heather, who's still (marginally) part of the current canvas. 9 hours ago, Asp Burger said: I always thought Kim was brought on for Drew, and they're just doing a slow build. I just don't think they'd have gone to the trouble of giving her a kid by him otherwise. Oscar is around so that Drew has a reason to stay in town after being dumped by Sam. Yes, there's Scout, but she's a baby. The show can't do much with her until/unless they SORAS her. As for the slow build, this show doesn't do that anymore. It takes stories from 0 to 100 in about two days. And angles? Those are also long gone. 4 Link to comment
TeeVee329 May 24, 2018 Share May 24, 2018 (edited) My crackpot theory, BTW, is still that Nelle was supposed to be tied to Carly more directly, but someone decided she had to be paired with Michael and that's why they went with this weak tea Frank Benson stuff.

This would not surprise me at all. I don't think the kidney stuff was completely thought through—that was supposed to be the big link—and they got lucky there that non-family can match just as easily. And since they wanted to pair her with Michael, she had to be less closely related to Carly. It's like their laziness actually worked in their favor this time around! 1 Link to comment
TeeVee329 May 24, 2018 Share May 24, 2018 (edited) I also still hate that they pulled their punches in the initial story, Nelle's reasons for wanting revenge on Carly should have stemmed from something that Carly actually did in the past that was coming back to bite her, and that would have made this current feud more balanced and interesting. Again, it's the show treating Carly like a heroine, except she ain't. Edited May 24, 2018 by TeeVee329 15 Link to comment

TeeVee329 May 25, 2018 Share May 25, 2018 Quote but an unexpected plot twist could throw Diane’s plan into disarray. New Port Charles prosecutor Margaux (Elizabeth Hendrickson) sees right through the legal charade and isn’t going to let them get away with it… What a bitch, not wanting someone to falsely plead insanity to avoid jail time. #eyeroll Also, shouldn't an actual shrink be examining Carly and making that determination? Standing up and being all, "Yup, I'm crazy!" is not how it works. And it sounds like Kevin and Andre are both busy elsewhere next week. Quote Alexis confronts Monica. I have no idea about what, but in advance, shut up, Alexis. 11 Link to comment

Roberts return brought me back. Nelle is doing exactly what Carly did to AJ right down to the pregnant down the stairs, Fake charges. Just like Carly. I remember everything Carly and Sonny did to AJ . Alexis and Jason also. I don't like them either for their part.. I hope Nelle wins, she takes down Carly. Funny how the others have forgotten all the things those two did to AJ right up to killing him in cold blood. So Michael is also on my sh@# list. Would also be funny if she gave the baby to Brad and Lucas , 8 Link to comment
dubbel zout May 26, 2018 Share May 26, 2018 That Finn/Anna sneak preview? Oh, man. First, that MetroCourt room set is getting a lot of use, between Finn and Griffin both living at the hotel. Second, Anna? LWB/FS does NOT have every reason to hate you. He's an adult (supposedly™ Silas Clay forever), and while the scars of childhood run deep, your explanation of what happened should have some effect on how LWB/FS sees you from now on. If he still holds a grudge? Your son is an asshole, and you're under no obligation to continue making excuses for him. From the spoilers: Quote Lulu struggles against a difference of opinion. Lulu? Having trouble with someone who disagrees with her? This is a change. There is way too much "duh" in the Scoop spoilers. Here's just a sample: Quote Jason refuses to make any promises Valentin offers up excuses Griffin is deeply conflicted about Ava Liesl is on the warpath This one cracked me up for its utter inaccuracy: Love is in the air as summer kicks into high gear The only couple we see onscreen that isn't on the air in some way is Elizabeth/Franco, and they're problematic for so many other reasons besides love. 4 Link to comment

I admire your optimism but I've resigned myself to custody of Charlotte staying as it is. If Lulu isn't allowed to take Valentin back to family court for his second attempt to kidnap Charlotte, then him being in cahoots with Peter and causing the events that led to Nathan's death shouldn't hurt him at all. 1 hour ago, statsgirl said: True.

paisley May 31, 2018 Share May 31, 2018 Devastated about losing DZ. If Dante says "I'm leaving cause Lulu sucks" that's kind of all encompassing for me and I can work with it with or without a replacement. I wish nothing but the best for DZ. He deserves it. Query: Doesn't Spencer usually appear in summer? How will he come back w/o Laura? Link to comment
