Aragorn

Kristina has just appeared in seven of the last ten episodes. Her importance is growing.

I think that Lucy should be forced out as the head of Deception and Maxie should take charge of the company. I am done with the Lucy character, and she should be retired from the show. The new writers want a Quartermaine revival.

I don't mind the Georgie recast as long as they keep the Beautiful Boy James. I love him!

My Gregory prediction is that he will dance with Tracy at the reception, and then collapse and die shortly afterward.

The soap event of this month. i hope this gets press coverage and interviews. I thought Gregory would die before the event, but I guess we have to waint until after the wedding.

I love it that Kristina has appeared in six of the last eight episodes and Molly has appeared in four of the last six. Give me my Davis women. I hate TJ. He should just fall of the Earth. I hate Portia's new hair.

I say send Violet away, and then bring her back next year SORASed into a teenager.

Am I correct in assuming that since Val is sending Charlotte to boarding school in Switzerland, that means that Scarlett Fernandez is no longer with the show?

Valentin sent Charlotte to boarding school in Switzerland. One less Cassadine on the canvas. Val wants to get back together with Anna, but Anna is getting on to him. Sasha and Cody kissed! Finally some movement on their romance. I like them. Maxie is doing better under the new writers.

General Hospital star Haley Pullos surrenders to 90 days in jail for DUI crash 'General Hospital' star Haley Pullos surrenders to 90 days in jail for DUI crash (ew.com) Nancy Lee Grahn @NancyLeeGrahn · 12h As Haley's TV mom I can tell some truths about her as I've loved her since she was little girl. She made a HUGE mistake, knows it, owns it & has spent the last yr doing EVERYTHING imaginable to take responsibility 4 it. It's not that I oppose jail. It's that I oppose this jail.

Her last two episodes were December 14 and 21. In the first she appears to be propped into her chair in her office. In the second she is in a wheelchair at the Quartermaine Mansion.

She is not well. The last time she was on the show she was in a wheelchair.

Perhaps Kristina will be her father's hero by exposing what is going on with her father's meds and Ava will get blamed for it. Ava will take the fall and everyone will like Sonny again.

What a week. Four episodes of Kristina and three episodes of Molly. I love seeing Molly used more but I fear they are setting up her demise.

I believe that Avery Pohl will bring Esme back next year as a villain. Spencer will also return next year, but as a recast.

In the aftermath of her departure, I think that Esme is winning. Nikolas going to prison is victory for Esme. The disruption of the Spencer-Trina romance is victory for Esme. Ace being raised as a Collins instead of as a Cassadine is a victory for Esme. Ava remains divorced from Nikolas and has sold off Wyndemere, depriving Spencer and Nikolas of their castle. That is a victory for Esme. If the entire Cassadine family is dropped from the show, that is victory for Esme. Ava was Esme's primary target, and if she is turning evil now and other characters turn against her, then that must be a victory for Esme. Trina has been left devastated, abandoning Paris, dropping out of school, and only finding solace in babysitting her enemy's son. That is victory for Esme. If Heather makes it out of prison, that is another victory.

We were told that Avery Pohl was let go from the show just to accommodate NAC's vacation. If NAC is gone for good, then I feel better.

Kristina has never been a hero on this show. Other people have needed to save her in the past. Can Kristina be the hero?

I love Laura. I also love Esme, Heather, and Cyrus. I understand her support of them even if other people don't.

SoapHub suggests a replacement for NAC and says AP could return. Nicholas Alexander Chavez Is Not Coming Back to GH (yahoo.com) Spencer and Esme have graves in Port Charles but there’s always a chance that both characters could do the Lazarus bit and make their way back to the story canvas. Pohl could reprise Esme. Perhaps GH will hire a new Spencer — wouldn’t Rory Gibson (criminally under-used as Noah on The Young and the Restless) make a good one? Who do you think could play Spencer? Let us know in the comments below.

I am a fan of Avery Pohl and was upset that she was let go but knowing that NAC is not returning is like victory to me.

In case you missed it, Laura and Ava mentioned Nikolas. Ava refused to take his calls from Pentonville. Laura said that Nikolas is being transferred to another prison in a different state. He will be harder to visit that way. The new writers are not going to bring Nikolas back on the show.

Ace is on! No episode with Ace on it is ever bad. Having Molly on two episodes in a row is a blessing. Four episodes of Kristina in a row is even better.

Lois should stay! Lucy should go instead. Maxie has improved lately. Being around Spinelli helps.
