Aragorn

What a wonderful episode. They had Jake, Violet, Georgie, James, Charlotte, and Ace all on the same day.

Esme is moving to Kelly's. How will Spencer react to no longer living with Ace? Will he hang around Kelly's all the time because Ace is there?

Andrea the surrogate has had the procedure done and might be pregnant. What will happen next?

1. Andrea dies in a car crash. Molly and TJ turn to Kristina to be the surrogate.

2. The procedure fails. Molly and TJ turn to Kristina to be the surrogate.

3. Andrea has TJ's baby. Tj falls in love with Andrea and breaks up with Molly.

4. Andrea backs out of the agreement and wants to keep the baby. Molly and TJ fight her in court.

5. Andrea has the baby and give it Molly and TJ without problems.

When Nikolas returns, he will hate Ava for trying to murder him. He will hate Spencer for blackmailing him. He will hate Liz for turning him in to the police. He will hate Esme most of all and demand sole custody of Ace. Laura and Alexis will try to appeal to the good person they remember he once was, but that person will be gone. Nikolas will now be more like Victor and will regret not being awake to join Victor on his Greenland adventure. He will affirm Spencer's hatred of him.

Nikolas will hire enough lawyers to beat the criminal charges against him. He will then demand Ace. Nikolas will disown Spencer and want to make Ace his sole heir. He will seek to ban Esme and Spencer from Ace's life and have him be raised by nannies on Cassadine Island. To keep himself in Ace's life, Spencer is forced into temporary alliance with Esme in opposition to Nikolas. Here is where the DNA test happens to establish Ace's paternity.

Spencer doesn't want Nikolas back. I think the returned Nikolas will be more evil than before, and Spencer will find more reasons to hate him.

We are still two days behind. Monday's boring episode was supposed to be a Thursday episode (all talk and no plot movement), Tuesday was a Friday episode, and yesterday was a Monday episode.

Nina is going to give Gladys the money she needs to pay Montague, but Gladys will pay off her debt to Selina instead. Sasha will remain locked up.

I think that the version of Nikolas that Marcus Columna played was an impostor. Laura and Kevin will find the real Nikolas in Europe and bring him back to Port Charles. Impostor Nikolas will be rescued from Mason but then shown to be an impostor. The return of the real Nikolas will give Nikolas and Spencer a fresh start. Ava's marriage to the impostor Nikolas will be shown to have been a fraud, so the divorce settlement that gave her WIndamere will be thrown out. The Cassadines will possess Windamere again. Ace will be given a DNA test and will be revealed to be Spencer's son.

Does Monica's voice matter to the episode counts?

If Molly uses Andrea as her surrogate and distances herself from Kristina, then she is dead to me.

Gregory telling Finn about his condition represents plot progression. 

Gh couples that work, and those that don't

The Good-

Sonny/Nina, Dante/Sam, Molly/TJ, Chase/Brook Lynn, Anna/Valentin, Michael/Willow, Cody/Sasha, Finn/Elizabeth, Mac/Felicia, Robert/Diane, Kevin/Laura, Martin/Lucy, Scott/Liesel

The Bad-

Ava/Austin, Alexis/Gregory, Ned/Olivia, Spencer/Trina, Drew/Carly, Dex/Josslyn

I enjoy seeing Kristina more often. She needs to stay in circulation. She should be on as much as Michael and Dante.

Carly is a character in decline. She should no longer be the lead female on the show. She should run Kelly's and be the new Aunt Ruby.

I think that Kristina is going to replace Carly as the female lead of the series.

No, I don't care if Cyrus dies.

No, I  don't care if Gregory dies.

Cyrus should live. I think Gregory will die.

I predict that Sasha will remain in Ferncliff until Gladys has gambled away all of her money. She will be rescued but then will be penniless. She will have to lean on Sonny and Nina. Nina will adopt her.

I was just challenged to cut the cast by 10 on #SoapTwitter. Initially I was annoyed because I want to cut Chris & Dan & they're not cast. But, I coped. Gregory, Mason, Gladys, Dr. Montague, Finn, Dex, Esme, Curtis, Baby Ace & Violet. Anyone? 

Gladys, Dr. Montague, Mason, Gregory, Marshall, Stella, Maxie, Olivia, Amy Driscoll, and Molly.

I have been a fan of Molly since she was ten years old. That said, I no longer believe that new Molly is the same character. The actress looks older than Kate Mansi. I would prefer Molly be written out of the show until the Halley Pullos legal case is resolved.

For the second day in a row, Spencer and Trina had the most boring scenes in the episode. Nothing new is being said between them.

I like the Pentonville scene. I could go for a romance between Heather and Cyrus. I can also see a future alliance between Cyrus and Esme. Since Heather is now among the regular population in Pentonville it must be easier for her to escape, so I anticipate this to happen.

I think Sasha will be locked up in a mental hospital until Sam and Cody figure out that she was drugged. By that time, I anticipate Gladys to have wiped out Sasha's bank accounts. A penniless Sasha will have to lean on Nina and Sonny.

How will Gladys and Montague react to Sasha stabbing Cody? Will they do the honest thing and admit that Sasha's violence was drug-induced? Will they instead claim that Sasha is violently insane and must be kept locked up in a mental hospital, leaving Gladys forever in charge of her money? I expect the latter.

Will Cody survive? I think so. Will this crisis lead to the revelation that Cody is Mac's son and Maxie's stepbrother? I hope it does.

I liked the first scene between New Kristina and Sonny. They looked like they were related.

I liked the Alexis/Esme scenes.

Evan Hofer (Dex) now appears in the opening.

The Spencer/Trina/Portia scenes were boring. Nothing was said that wasn't said before.

Willow is recovering and can go home. If she is no longer dying, then what will they do with the character? She spent so much time dying that the audience gave up on her.

Maxie and Felicia appear to be around the same age. Kirsten Storms must go.

Kristina needs to have scenes with her father and brothers. So far she has only talked to her mom and sisters. She needs to make friends and have a love interest.

In a SOD article a few weeks back they had a performer from each soap detail a typical day. The GH actor (can't remember who) was the only one who talked about taping into the evening. 

The other shows were all done and dusted by the afternoon.

So GH somehow makes the longer working day economical.

All episodes to be shown in July and August were filmed in June. Production is down in July.

 I like Ava and Austin together. I like Sasha and Cody together. I like Liz and Finn together. I like the Eddie Maine storyline. 

Gladys needs to go soon. If Sasha doesn't reject her then the other characters must make her go away.

Mason also needs to go soon. I think Ava and Austin will murder him and hide his body. This will draw out his employer.

I don't like Spencer and Trina. I would enjoy watching them break up.

I liked January, February, and March. I hated April and May. I enjoyed June. Let us see what July has for us.

12 out of 20 episodes represents three episodes per week. No character should be one more than three time a week. June appeared to be a balanced month.

Kate Mansi has appeared in only four episodes so far. She needs to be on more. I want her on every week.
