Spoilers and Speculation: Clink Boom and Cheese Fondue

[nilyank]

I wonder if Nina found out that Ava drugged Sasha, hence the catfight. Still think Kiki will end up being Nina's coma baby.

So next week is the wedding and I see a new TJ.

Who are all those people in the Church? Frank actually spent money on extras for a wedding no one really cares about except for Jordan/Curtis fans.

[TeeVee329]

Going through with this wedding with a nuJordan we barely know, and introducing the nuTJ that day, is so freakin' weird.

I wonder if we'll get a "the role of TJ Ashford is now being played by..." voiceover—we never did for nuJordan, which I find very disrespectful.

Like most of the GH weddings the guest list is super-strange. The only connection I thought of for Laura/Lulu is that Jordan was Dante's boss, and I don't think they even know Curtis. Why is Maxie there, except to see Peter? And I don't buy that Curtis and freaking Nina are so close that he would ask her to be his best person, even after Drew dropped out. 

If TJ is there and this is TJ's mom's wedding, where is Molly? TJ/Molly are still together, aren't they?

If TJ is there and this is TJ's mom's wedding...why didn't Curtis ask him? Hasn't Curtis assumed for most of the kids life that they were uncle/nephew? I mean Nina??? Yeah, riiiiight. rme

[TeeVee329]

I mean, I think TJ, as we see in the promo, being the one to walk Jordan down the aisle makes sense.  Though that does raise the question...does Jordan have a maid of honor?  Does Jordan have any family?  What do we actually know about her after all this time?

[Hater]

Jason and Sam continue to get lamer and lamer.

Now Sam has to get the sniffles in order for Jason to bring her to bed.  Oh and their annoying kid is back! With Alexis on prop duty interrupting the epic budding rekindling romance.

Bad news sends Griffin reeling

Griffin hopes to change minds

Ha! Griffin doesn't get reinstated. He shouldn't, given how severe his violation was. You don't order tests on patients without their permission. I know he'll work at GH again eventually, but he deserves this punishment for a while longer.

 

Kristina finds a new purpose in life

As Port Charles's newest cult member, LOL. Typical Kristina.

Setting her up for something.  Ava isn't a good person but even she doesn't deserve men like Griffin and Ryan.

Normally I wouldn't suggest something like the military but I think it would do Kristina a lot of good to not be her parents' pampere darling for a while.

[dubbel zout]

I don't think Kristina has the strength of character to stick it out during basic training. She expects a career to fall into her lap fully formed. There's nothing wrong with her being a bartender, and she's supposedly good at it. I wish the show would lean into that: She seems to know the basics of running a bar, so why not have her decide to open her own place? She could face setbacks when applying for a liquor license and getting turned down because Sonny is her father. Have her insist he stay out of it, and she figures out a legal way to get the necessary permits and things.

But that will never happen, as we don't even see Michael in business stories. No way girl child will get any sort of attention.

[Ladybyrd]

I actually like seeing Kristina flail a little. It feels realistic.  I definitely know friends who went off to very prestigious universities but made a few bad choices and wound up graduating several years late. 

Opening her own bar would definitely require a loan from at least one of her parents, and I hope Alexis, at least, would hesitate to give her college dropout daughter tens of thousands of dollars to open a bar... For the present, I'm fine with her being aimless and pouty about it. 

Curious to see where the cult thing is going.

I've written about this before, but if Kristina is going to be on canvas, it would be far more realistic for her to be a flailing girl reporter.

[Gam2]

I think Kristina’s new career will be as a recruiter for her new friend’s “group” (read as “cult”) and will have to be rescued by her mobster dad. There is something too weird about that friend whose name I’ve forgotten. Her eyes and smile give her away. 

[statsgirl]

Kristina defines herself as the opposite of anything Alexis wants for her to be and Sonny enables her and enables her. I'm sure he'd give her the money to have her own bar, and if it failed, he'd give her the money for her next project.  There don't seem to be many consequences to her bad decisions.

Yeah, Kristina is going to need to be rescued from the cult and it will be up to Jason to infiltrate it and save her again.  (Sam can put on another costume because her life as a real responsible adult sucked so much.) Or maybe Sonny will go all Mob Boss on them. Either way, I doubt there will be any natural consequences for Kristina or any real growth.

Sonny did give money for her and her then boyfriend whose name I cannot remember to open the coffee place Perks. When she left to go chasing after professor girlfriend, she left Perks up in the air. When she came back, she asked Sonny about the manager's job at Perks but he told he had to hire someone else when she left and he wasn't going to fire that person to give the job to Kristina. She ended tending bar for Julian.

[statsgirl]

It was good that Sonny didn't fire his manager and put Kristina in his/her place. But it's still not really adequate consequences for having Daddy buy her Perks when she wanted to own a coffee place and then leaving it without arrangements in place when she decided to do something else and go somewhere else. And now when Sonny sees her, he's telling her what a wonderful person she is instead of making her pay back the money he may have lost by her bailing. Everyone has been letting Kristin off the hook, now including Sam who is giving her a place to stay I presume rent-free.

I'm sure an accountant was able to write if off, so I doubt Sonny suffered much.

A perennial problem of the show is that too few people (i.e., never Sonny/Carly/Jason/Sam) face any actual consequences for anything. The show doesn't care, given how often we see the same stories over and over again. They even play out the same way.

[statsgirl]

I'm not crying for Sonny losing any money. He'll make it up by extorting it out of someone as he did forcing Julian to serve his coffee.

I'm more bothered by the terrible parenting on this show. I think Liz does a good job, and Lulu has potential but Laura over-indulges Spencer, Nina seems like she's going to teach Charlotte how to perfect her bullying skills and Carly ruins all her children. I wonder how Olivia and Ned are going to be with Leo at Thanksgiving dinner with Julian there.

I'm sure Ned will urge Leo to be rude and Olivia will blame Julian somehow. Leo should have been a tock. He's the most useless child on the canvas at the moment, IMO. His entire existence gives me a rage blackout.

Or they should've retconned Ned as his father. RC's determination to write pointless babies for Julian and Ava still irritates me.

[ByaNose]

Wait! Are they killing off Haley Erin? I know she got another acting gig but can’t they just let her go off contract to see if the shows succeeds or not?

I rather they not brutally murder another female character who is actually studying to become a doctor.

That’s what I’m worried about. I’m picturing an on screen murder which I really don’t want to see. At least, people can’t blame JFP for this one if it happens.  

[dubbel zout]

I also don't like that if Lauren is killed, somehow Ava will get the blame. You know Carly will sneer Ava now has the blood of two children on her hands. Ugh. Anything that gives Carly a chance to smug it up to Ava is something I don't want to happen.

Seriously.  It's not like she was beloved like Georgie (RIP, Georgie--you got a raw deal!).  I totally expect for Michael to speak at her funeral and lovingly talk about when she drugged him.

Why has Jordan worn her wedding dress throughout this investigation on the boat? She and Curtis obviously brought clothes to change into the next morning. Why not hop into those clothes to manage the investigation? That dress is actually beautiful but it just wasn’t the one for Jordan.

[Asp Burger]

The Moonlight Sonata for the promo music? No one was putting a lot of thought into that, obviously. "We need something somber..." 

Now I'm remembering that giggle-worthy musical montage back in the JFP/McTavish years, set to the slow movement of Beethoven's 7th. I can't remember what was happening, but I think someone was being killed. Maybe Angel's father. Whatever was going on onscreen just didn't earn the "grandeur" the music was trying to give it.

Because of course.  Sonny can tell Oscar about the 816th time he was accused of a crime he totally did commit and how traumatic it was for him and how that's basically the same thing as having a terminal disease.

Oscar and Sonny have a heart to heart Dec. 13.

 

Probably about how grateful Oscar is that Sonny and Carly have made room for him at their table.

Also, Sonny can talk about how a disease is something that can be beaten, and Oscar with his cancer should look to the example of Sonny and his bipolar disorder. Then Sonny can talk about Morgan. And maybe Stone.

I prepare myself with worst-case scenarios.
