three-month relationship from 16 years ago

Is it a retcon that the relationship was so hot and heavy that Kim is thinking about rekindling it now? I thought that once they learned Drew would be shipping out, they agreed things should end and there were basically no hard feelings. Yet suddenly Kim is macking on Frew like he's some sort of lifeline. HE NEVER KNEW OSCAR.

The difference is that Liz fell for and pursued a relationship with Jake Doe before she knew he was "Jason".  Can't defend her behavior once she found out but she did not initially know what was going on.  Kim doesn't have the same excuse.

I'll give you fell for, but there was no actual pursuing of a relationship until after she knew.  She took him to bed about a half hour after finding out he was "Jason".

I agree with what Mrs. Stanwyck said, but I think this situation is worse - it makes both FrancoDrew and Kim look awful. 

It's a bonkers avenue to go with Kim, given we're just coming off her attempting to rape the real article, now the show is putting her in a position with murky consent questions?  Do they hate Tamara Braun?

I really liked that Kim's attitude in the beginning was basically, "I knew this dude a zillion years ago, there's no particular need to go there again now."  This relationship retcon reminds me a smidge of Rex and Gigi on OLTL, who went from bored friends who slept together to SOULMATES whose love stood the tests of time and space and death and blah blah blah.

Supposedly FV loves her.... so I'm not sure what the endgame here is.....but I'm guessing he won't be telling RoHo to shove potato skins unexpectedly into her mouth right before a monologue.

I get the feeling that they think Kim comes off more sympathetic than she actually does. A lot of the twitter posts from GH and FV about her role in this SL and Drew’s attempted rape seem to indicate that. Stuff like look at what her grief over Oscar is causing her to do

Read a disgusting spoiler on Twitter that next week Scotty goes to Sonny for help keeping Franco in town.

You read that right.  Scotty goes to SONNY, WHO HE HAS CONSISTENTLY DESPISED FOR YEARS for help keeping Franco, HIS CRAPPY RETCON SON OF FIVE MINUTES, in town.

Scotty would rather ask Kevin for help than Sonny and he doesn't much care for Kevin.

What the heck is Sonny supposed to do about it? Stand menacingly behind Franco with a gun and threaten to shoot him unless he stays in town?

Doesn't Scotty still blame Sonny for the death of his daughter Karen ffs? (& rightly so in my opinion.)😥

I hate these damn dumb retcons. No way Scotty would E V E R  ask Sonny for help. Bad enough we're supposed to believe he is Franco's father. Really?🤪

This show  *sigh*🙄

This almost makes me miss the Guza years. Even though Sonny still won most of the time, at least the majority of characters were allowed to hate him and call him out on his crap. Nowadays, everyone basically bows at his feet except maybe Ava and Julian

Also, why would Sonny care? He hates Franco in any incarnation.

He doesn't give a crap about Drew, either.

Seriously. It would make more sense if Elizabeth were the one to ask Sonny for help, though again, I haven't the faintest idea what Sonny could do. Maybe he could lock Frew in a cage.

Even if Elizabeth did ask, why wouldn't Sonny think that she would be better off without Dranco around and just try halfheartedly to convince him to stay.

Sonny has always had a soft spot for Elizabeth. He'd probably make some comment about Frew being worthless, but I think he'd make a genuine effort to help her.

For fuck's sake. Scott would sooner cut his own throat than ask Sonny for help. I'm pretty sure he'd rather ask Luke for help. And why would Sonny help Scotty anyway? What's in it for him to keep Franco around?

Kim and Drewco have sex next week (Monday and Tuesday are the days they're on together).

Yeesh. When it all comes to light Elizabeth is going to screech about how (rightfully) horrible it was what Kim did, taking advantage of a mentally impaired man that doesn't know his true identity for her own selfish desires, without realizing what Kim has done is no different than what she herself did to Jake Doe.

A) Thanks for the warning; I know now not to watch those days. So much ew.

B) Kim's actions are worse because she's straight up using FrancoDrew due to his false memories making her feel good about her past, and she's disrespecting her son's father as well as the memory of her late son.  Franco does not have a connection to her past, did not have a relationship with her son, and she has never had any interest in Franco as a person.  Franco has been a hospital colleague and her friend Elizabeth's significant other - that's it. While Elizabeth lying to Jakeson/Drew when they had sex was wrong, she was invested in him as her patient and then as a love interest before Nikolas told her he was Jason. Then she believed they had all this history/that Jake's father had come back. Both Jakeson/Drew and Jason have willfully connected with Elizabeth at various times while BM and SBu have been on the Show. Franco was socially/professionally sort of friendly with Kim because she was a colleague, because she and Drew were co-parenting Oscar, because of Elizabeth's friendship with her and also because of stepson-to-be Cam's friendship with Oscar. But Franco and Kim did not personally seek each other out to connect, let alone become attracted to each other. 

This is as absurd as if the Show wanted to claim that Chase wound up with Lucky's youthful memories and therefore Elizabeth wants him because he remembers the best of her, or that Mac wound up with Alan's memories and therefore Monica wants him because it's a way of getting back what she lost.

What a gross plot development.  Why is this happening, and why so close to Kim drugging and attempting to rape the real Drew because it makes whatever spin the show is going to attempt re: her actions even less credible.  My gawd poor Tamara Braun.

Also?  Why so soon?  Franco's been thinking he's Drew for, what, three weeks?  This is a soap, develop it out a bit.  Have Kim struggle and resist before she goes there, if she has to go there at all.

Looks like it. Christmas "Franco is Back"  she shows up at Friz's door "I'm pregnant!"

I think that was the point. The Drew stuff was the first taste of crazy.

I hate Friz, so anything to break them up for a while, fine. But probably he gets his memories but oops, Kim is pregnant and crazy.

I have a suggestion for a formal adoption: Monica adopts Scout. It will help Monica with missing the real Drew, not this time capsule in an asshole's body. It's not like Sam would notice. 

And Monica really needs family who cares about her, and it may keep Scout from being kidnapped like all the other Corinthos/Morgan kids have been.

And she will be so delusional as to think that the baby is a remake of Oscar.

I've reached the stage where I'm feeling sorry for Kim. (I've been feeling sorry for TB for the past year.)  She's got serious mental health issues that make everyone else's issues on the show pale in comparison.

Sam remembering that Drew is Scout's father and being hostile-ish with Elizabeth and Hayden would mean more if she had appeared to give a damn about Drew in recent history or had not been able to go through with the Shiloh scam because of the traumatic memories of Franco. Then Jax summoned her and she was talking to him like he had abruptly woken her from a nap.

Can't watch the FrancoDrew and Kim scenes anymore; just flat out creepy.

Here's a thought, Lulu and Olivia: maybe a kid's birthday party should be held at a kid-oriented place with games and other activities so as to keep him busy when you know he's been missing his father. Julian/Grandma's bar is not an appropriate location. Also, why is his birthday party happening on the high school's first day of school and why is the only recognizable kid guest Rocco's half-sister? I was thinking hey Rocco's cousins Jake and Aiden should have showed up escorted by Laura or Cam.

Because the writers aren't up to the task of making criminal THUG Jason more nuanced, they are doubling down and bringing his main cheerleader back for a spin this week.  source.

He's like nails on a chalkboard.  Can't wait for his total non-reaction that Drew, aka the man he was convinced was Jason because of his ass, is presumed dead.

Based on a comment on Coby Ryan McLaughlin's (Shiloh) Instagram, it looks like he is leaving GH. A fan said they hoped Shiloh would be getting more storylines soon, and CRM responded that "All good things must come to an end" and that he is working on something new.

I'm really disappointed, but not surprised, since they've pretty much explored all they can with the character.

I have enjoyed CRM as an actor and thought the Shiloh story was interesting at first, but it's done. I'm sure that Jason will be the hero at the end and end up killing Shiloh or being responsible for him being put wes away for life, so that's annoying. Maybe, though, when Jason kills him we can get a good action scene with Sonny involved. You know, Sonny overpowering someone with a gun or kicking in a door our something. Those are always good for a laugh.

Are they going to set up a murder mystery?  I'm thinking LWB offs Shiloh to shut him up.

I wouldn't be surprised if we see Shiloh again down the road sometime, given how this fakakta show loves to bring back characters.
