They need a better exit storyline than sending Michael to prison because if they do that then they should also throw John, Rex and Adriana in prison too. Sorry, i'm picky given the characterization of the storyline. They should kill the character off because Michael and Marcie are marketed as a couple. Unforunately, both serve no purpose without the other and a recast will bomb.

Thanks for clearing that up.

Either way what he did was terrible but being the type of guy that I am I sometimes feel empathy for people in tough situations that cause them to act out. God drugs are just the worst thing on this Earth.

If theres one bad habit/pitfall that I'm thankful I never got into during highschool or was even remotely exposed to its drugs.

As for provocation... I think the reports aren't giving all the details. It's hard to believe he went on an assault rampage just like that when it wasn't difinitively stated he was on cocaine. Maybe he was (and I'm not disputing that) but I think a one sided view is being presented here. Although the guy clearly have issues, there's no way the cab driver and whomever was simply having a cup of joe at 4am in the morning before Nate came out of nowhere yelling and screaming with a metal crate.

That's what I'm saying. There is more to the story. But of course, when people are victimized, they want to be 100% innocent victims, so they will omit how they added gasoline to an already lit fuse which caused the dynamite to explode in their faces. I think Nate was already going off, the coffee drinker decided to be big man and get involved, and whoops! Upside the head.

I don't think that's true... personally I think Marcie can survive without Michael. And I think this storyline is a way to seperate them and move them apart anyways. While Marcie and Al had power, Marcie and Michael doesn't have as much as the other. Not to mention, that Michael gets some hate for just having the John connection.

I hope that Marston will now get the help he needs. Isn't he married and has a younger step daughter at home??? I wonder how is family is taking all of this. If he was on drugs, I could see him just snapping. When addicts are high they do things they would not normally do and some have a much shorter fuse and are more aggressive when they are provoked some how and they also have a much higher tolerance to pain. I was married to a man with an addiction problem and that addiction resulted in spousal abuse towards me. I am glad I am no longer in the marriage, even though I have 2 beautiful girls from it who do not see their father and step mother because of their addiction problems

I've been to NYC various times on business and I don't feel that this cab driver was an innocent victim. I agree with others here who've said that parts must have been left out.

However, I feel that Marston is gone from the show and no onslaught of fans can save him this time.

I agree with you. Marcie is the more viable character of the two and could easily survive without him. Al might have survived without Marcie but I doubt Michael could.

What if.... they rewrite the Spencer's murder as Lindsay taking the fall for Michael... or as Lindsay delivering several non-life-threatening wounds but Michael, the physician, comes along later to complete the job.

This is sad news. I hope NM comes out of this with the help he needs.

I totally think Marcie can survive without Michael. Part of me was already hoping the Tommy story would break them up. I'd actually like to see Marcie have a fling with Todd and then find another good guy down the road.

      I would appreciate (if they're not coming), for future scripts to refer to them by their iconic hairdos.  For example, if Hope needs to call Chelsea because Bo has Sepsis, I'd like Shawn-D to say, "My Mom called Chelsea (the one with the sassy short black hair) for an update." Also, new rule, if Melanie does return, she needs to dye her hair back to red.  I googled who she was five times during Victor's funeral.

      Broderick, thank you for all of the info [I edited for space]. I am so grateful for everyone filling in the blanks for me. I suspected the Nora/Eliot scene was very important and it was setting something up but I didn't know what. Can't wait to see it play out. The two actors had such a great back and forth. I should have made the Paige/Patty Hearst connection. I thought Paige was in love with Brian from the first episode I watched but it seemed as if they were brother and sister. Steve kept being affectionate with her so I assumed he was the love interest. Then she was affectionate with someone else and well..she's a very busy woman. I can't wait to see Frances Fisher show up. (I'm trying to be vague because I don't know what would be a spoiler in this storyline) Now it makes sense why Draper would be upset. I didn't get the whole background of why he didn't go to NY. I'm a sucker for good acting, so I might still side with April and Margo, if the writers don't give Draper more to do besides yelling.  He had more chemistry with Logan, but I know that's not happening.  Something else I noticed: the show really takes care with even the smallest parts. The acting is superb. Too often, I noticed on older soaps they don't take care with the recurring or day players (Ryan's Hope was so bad with this that I couldn't make it through some episodes). It's only been six episodes, but so far, the casting department was spot on.

      I thought Dante was overreacting.  Gio made some mistakes but he's young and he tried.  It's not like he dragged two 14 years to a party and made them get blackout drunk.  Dante can have the initial upset reaction, but to go on and on was a bit much.

      His (adoptive) nieces.  Chelsea and Stephanie.  I think Abby was involved too, but I am not sure if they are related lol.

      That was such a dark story. I never liked Swamp girl after that. And then the dating your cousin thing. I think wasn’t Max in a triangle with two of his cousins?

      Thank you, @j swift.  I'm probably more sympathetic to Draper Scott than most audience members are -- even though I'm absolutely CRAZY about Ann Williams & her bizarre Margo Huntington character

      The more I watch these episodes -- and I've watched several of them a zillion times, I'm ashamed to admit -- you realize there's a WHOLE lot of passive-aggressive hostility brewing inside Margo Huntington about Draper.  She wants to take April AWAY from him and recreate the childhood that she never got to experience with April, because of the adoption 25 years ago.  Draper has sense enough to realize how heartless and vindictive Margo really is about other people's lives and their feelings, but he bites his tongue rather than poison his wife's mind about how horrible her mother really is.  And I admire him for that.  He's a sweet boy.

      Unfortunately, as the 90s wore on, Felicia started wearing as many gray and neutral tones as Giorgio Armani and Donna Karan could produce, and the shoulder pads deflated to a drop sleeve.

      I think Dante is reacting how most parents would react.

      5-2   Lord... At least the week started off well...I think. I don't know where to start.   Oh, yes, I do. It was mostly background noise to me. There was nothing to the majority of the characters that were on. Meaning, it was mostly characters that I didn't care for or I've gotten accustomed to just FF-ing through. Or just zoning out. Even the possibility that Michael and Lauren might have a story was just meh simply because we have done this dance before and Lauren was coming across like Michael was working for Sonny on GH the mob.   The biggest thing I really took away from last week was that the new costumer designer has stepped up her game again. It didn't bother me at all, but I wish there was some drama with this fashion. I liked Claire's outfit, LOVE Nikki's. And I continue to like brighter colors on Nick though I hated those pants. And I could go on about the clothes misses like Billy in that short sleeeve, but I digress.   The only things that held my interest...   THE SICKENING OF COLE. As soon as he started to cough, I went uh oh. I'm happy to see he might be getting a story. And I guess it shows how much history I have with the character that I care. But still...ugh.   ALL THINGS AUDRA. I admit that I was taken aback to see Victor with her at Crimson Lights. When was the last time he was there? I want to say recently with Kyle/Claire, but otherwise I still found the scene taking me aback. But I like her being soft with Kyle who actually came across annoyingly flirty for someone that hates Audra. I actually can't wait for him to eat crow. And since Audra is now being used to drive a wedge between Kyle and Claire, I have to talk about...   SUMMER'S EXIT. Mmmm...mixed feelings. It don't seem half as bad as others appear to see it. Yes, if I didn't have the context, it still seem odd that her part in the Kyle/Claire drama was barely touched on. And she interacted with everyone I felt she should interact with. But in the overall context...I still didn't mind the exit. Though it was abrupt.    I did like hearing that Noah and Allie are still together. And don't get me started on the offscreen Mariah drama.

      I'm sure old Reva/Josh fans saw the writing on the wall--and this was their pattern. They (or usually Josh) was so angry that they'd spend months yelling at each other, and then "boom", they were macking up on each other, regardless of who else they were entangled with. (This is the couple who slept together under HB's roof while Reva was married to him, after all.) "Always". *gag me*
