After all Lulu's been through with her coma and missing years I can get her being on the sensitive side especially when talking to her mother. I was thinking it was more a culmination of everything than just this one particular problem.

I also think the fact Lulu chose abortion and Brook Lynn chose to give a baby up for adoption instead when they were in similar situations adds another layer to this. The writing doesn't really state this, but I can see Lulu slightly spiraling about thinking she could have an adult child out there if she made a different choice. Both woman made the right choices for themselves at the time, but I can see both making parallels to their decisions.

I am actually surprised so many people think Lulu is way out of line. I think it's more nuanced. Yes, it was BLQ choice to give the baby up for adoption and she shouldn't be shamed for that. At the same time I do think it does directly affect Lulu's family because it is Rocco's brother and she's still in love with Dante. So I can sort of see her moral dilemma there.

Bo/Billie are in Night Sins but not together. She's bantering with Jack about the manuscript and Bo is in love with Carly. He stops Carly from taking off with Lawrence and Nikki on a plane when he solves Lisanne's murder. Winter Heat is Bo/Billie focused. Along with Vivian/Laura and Carrie and Austin I believe. Yeah, Bo/Carly and John/Isabella weren't exactly my thing so that's probably why I didn't love it.

Lol! Why? Just sincerely asking not judging. It did have a lot of action happening I suppose.

I find Javi so obnoxious and almost as insufferable as Leo, but I still think he might have potential. The show needs to ditch the Leo romance and give Javi some other interests and relationships.

I totally thought of you when that scene happened and laughed. What a rhetorical question 😂

Sure, a lot of the storylines of that era are felt on the show today, but the movie was almost entirely about Roman/Marlena/John plus Sami/Carrie/Austin and a side plot of Carly/Bo/Billie/Lawrence with the background of Titan's opening. It's...not about Jack and the memoir. So, yes, you could go back and use some of the small parts of the movie, but you couldn't or shouldn't do a direct homage of it like you could with One Stormy Night. It's two different things IMO.

Drew and Willow being married and happy with Nina just dropping that bomb on the way out the door could be fun though lol.

Why would you even tie into Night Sins if you are just re-hashing B stories? John/Marlena on the conference table with Sami seeing it and Carrie getting acid thrown in her face are the two main plots. You would be better off just throwing a Titan Anniversary party instead. I am skeptical they are even tying One Stormy Night from 1992 into this plot at all, but it's a much easier plotline to rehash and you could use several couples to make it work. Now that you mention the Jack/Kate/Bill story that might be one of the few "book" stories that worked though.

Lol at the WSB hot guy asking Joss if she was okay with betraying her friends. Of course she is! Chase coming in hot at Dante was a choice. It's also quite hypocritical since Chase is lying to him about Dante's own child and making Lulu the bad guy. Talk to the grown woman yourself Chase. Don't make Dante do it. Lulu and Laura had some great scenes. The Rocco/Danny party is obvious an anvil for something happening and probably the Gio secret coming out. The Willow/Drew/Nina scenes were kind of anti-climatic? I get why Nina chose this path as the way to get rid of Drew, but will anyone ever find out Drew was sleeping with Nina?

It's a very easy concept to recreate with 3 new couples. It's seriously the most boring of the 3 specials, but generic enough to use a similar plot. I think you could use inspiration to tie it in with JJ/Gabi, Belle/EJ, and Shawn/Jada, but then it would have absolutely nothing to do with Stephanie so it would be odd she wrote it lol. Kayla and Shane weren't in One Stormy Night. Marcus was. This video contains the opening credits for the movie.

Of course.

I have a hard time imagining JPL with CJ. Their acting styles are so different. I actually think LG and JPL have more chemistry together and could see Phillip/Sarah. I know, I know. That's an awful idea lol.

Correct. At least they aren't recreating "Night Sins". We'd end up with Alex and Gabi or some odd couple recreating John/Marlena's conference table sex. 😂

Possibly. I remember the "movie" being Jack/Jen, Bo/Carly, and John/Isabella centric. I am assuming they are just recreating the idea of people/couples being brought together in a storm, which isn't very creative in the first place. One Stormy Night was the worst of the 3 primetime movies too. Lol. Fair. Writing some press releases for her the two clients she has does not mean she can write what looked to be a 500 page novel. Stephanie spends 20 hours a day figuring out her love life anyway.

Stephanie writing a novel is odd. She's never seemed interested in writing or much of a creative type. Is One Stormy Night a nod to the primetime Days episode from the early 90's? That would literally have nothing to do with Stephanie, nor were any of the characters featured in that special closely related to her IIRC. Although One Stormy Night isn't a super creative title or anything, so it's probably just a coincidence. And, yes, it was very rude for Alex to just take Stephanie's personal, private writing without asking lol.

Elvis John was his original name IIRC correctly. Susan named him Elvis, but also named him after John Black after she got her baby back from Kristen. I have seen other sites list him as Elvis Aaron though. I am also pretty sure Susan always called him Elvis Jr. regardless of middle name so EJ makes sense either way.

I don't think a Victor Kiriakis Charitable Trust is as bad as the Sonny Corinthos Stone Cates Charitable Trust that funds most of Port Charles lol I totally had a mind lapse when I said Maggie Horton. That's just what I think of her as. She definitely uses Kiriakis as a last name.

Oh, I was assuming it was either a check via her trust from Victor or a cashier's check. Not Maggie Horton's personal check lol. Honestly up until I bought my house a couple of years ago I paid rent with a personal check because they charged me when I used my debit card lol. Anyhow, just a reasonable excuse for Maggie to go talk to Julie at the hospital. I don't use checks often, but I still have them just in case. I recently got my passport renewed and you can buy a money order or write a check so the government still allows it lol.

No, she said she wanted Phillip to be gone when she got back. I doubt Maggie's staff wants to help Phillip at this point. I don't really know how million dollar donations work, but I don't think writing a check is that weird? Maybe I am old school like Maggie too? lol

I guess? Maggie's old school like that.😂

Maggie was dropping off her check from the auction. She just ran into Julie while there.

It looks like Cherie Jimenez will be 38 in June and Camila Banus is 34 so it does work age wise. Gabi just projects younger to me

I know. I almost feel like Gabi is too young to have a grown daughter, but she did have Ari in high school so I guess it works
