It doesn't, but I'm betting rn that for the purposes of this story, Jason was the shooter in Puerto Rico and again this week. It's not like there isn't a background in brainwashing for both twins now and PM did inherit this ridiculous sci-fi setup. I really don't care what the story is tbh so long as they don't come up with a Q triplet. Just get Jason back and move on so I can see what the rest of the show has to offer.

In fairness any story featuring a 'brainwashed' Jason as Sonny's attacker (which appears to be the trajectory here) is over the top by definition. But after the Two Jasons mess it's not exactly off-brand. I just hope PM doesn't go deep into brains on USBs and microchips again.

I find her creepy. But I don't really need any Molly on canvas atm, the character and T.J. have both been wasted and spent for years and she needs a break. Sure, just like the last temp. You are entitled to your opinion, it is not a fact. Either way this show doesn't need Molly right now.

Mad About You (like Everybody Loves Raymond) was one of those shows that was treated like the pinnacle of situation comedy as a medium during its run (or at least the latter half in Mad's case) and is now largely forgotten in syndication/streaming since. I think in MAY's case that had to do with two well-known stars and particularly Helen Hunt becoming a movie star in its later seasons, and the goodwill they had. How Raymond got the same hype I'll never understand.

I've said it before (and so has Caroline) but I do think it's possible HP could return in the probably distant future after making amends and/or doing her time. Daytime is often very forgiving. I really don't care at present though.

In other news: Haley Pullos is looking to cop a plea.

That would be hilarious, but I thought they filmed the pilot and NBC saw it and immediately called it off. Here's TV Insider's version.

He was truly bad as late as early '94 lol. He came a long way very quick.

Lea DeLaria (OLTL) and Ming-Na (ATWT) wearing an eyepatch for some reason are in, uh, this, which appears to be some sort of well-intentioned Indigo Girls jukebox musical. I find it moderately cringe to be charitable, but hey, good for them.

I've been revisiting several classic eras including '96, and I'd forgotten about the fallout from the Kevin stalker story (which I thought was pretty good, what I've rewatched anyway) with Felicia turning very cold and hard after her ordeal, particularly re: Kevin. I thought Kristina played it very well, but I can't remember, did it go anywhere? I also recall them teasing a Kevin/Cassadines connection and I know we've discussed it here before but I can't remember what if anything we knew about it or where it was supposed to go. I have said it before, but I think it's a fundamental mistake on the show's part not to mine both Kevin and Laura's traumatic family histories/mental illness background more for better story if you have to keep them together (I still want Kevin and Lucy reunited). The decrepit mob brother and Ryan's repeat returns haven't really been the most intelligent treatment; Kevin's complex backstory in particular and Laura's commune days, etc. are all fertile ground, especially for Laura's husband being a psychologist with a dark past. They also go out of their way at the close of the Kevin/Felicia/Lucy hostage crisis to show Felicia in the shower flashing back to her many ordeals with both Ryan and Kevin. 1992-93 pre-Labine is not an era I have a ton of familiarity with, though I've seen episodes here and there over the years; if anyone can point to any particularly remarkable Ryan/Felicia episodes or just pass along a rough timeframe I'd love to see them. Thanks.

And stupid! I feel like it takes considerable ego to make your own child's middle name the nickname you invented yourself lol.

Oh my god it's back! @DRW50 get in here!

Was it? I didn't know.

They mentioned it explicitly on his first or second day, when he met Leo, Olivia and Carly. He discussed Stone's whereabouts.

I should finally revisit NS2. The episodes on YT are so poor quality though. I would be more than happy with Jordi V. or any number of other dark hunks as NuJagger to play out the duration of this story and then probably leave. With the current recast it's just so awkward and annoying, on top of this already being a very shopworn story and scenario for Sonny vs. a fed that we've seen a dozen times. Carly probably doesn't recall the last fed named John who came to town gunning for Sonny was her own father. (Another wasted character, I might add)

Dex is not anyone's secret child, certainly not Jason's or Wagger's. He's not Stone II. That reminds me of when people kept insisting Dev was Brenda's kid. And I agree, both he and Drew are toast not long after Steve's return. It's just a matter of time.

I find it highly unlikely Dex is Jason's son lol. That sounds like out of control spec. I have never heard anyone opine that Morgan will never be back. I do think he's not coming back any time soon and people always over-assume that he's back anyday because his death was so anticlimactic. People jump to it constantly and there's no real sign of that.

I honestly found the Passanante era unwatchable. Same as her AMC. There might have been good episodes occasionally, but no, I'll pass. D&C were a marginal improvement.

It is truly weird how they brutally dumped Decker and Dawn so fast after so much build-up, even for Monty.

Sir, most of us are just clowning the bad photo, not being serious. This sweeping passive-aggressive flourish you enjoy doing whenever you descend upon a thread is neither subtle nor warranted.

Yep.

I liked the Port Charles Karens. I've never been very fond of Cari Shayne.

Tabyana Ali is also struggling lol. This is such an odd shot.

Look at poor T.J. and Maxie doing a full Where's Waldo. And Willow! Try to find her, I did!
