It would be nice if Jason died in prison, everyone blames Sonny for it, and then, voila. Who Killed Sonny? Murder Mystery. Obviously Carly would be the culprit, as she has only ever loved Jason, and once she comes to grips with what she's done, she kills herself.

Fun for all, really.

can you blame her? Sam isnt a character...she's a prop. She hasnt had a storyline in forever and the majority of her scenes with Jason involve her agreeing with him and telling him how great he is. Its like watching Jason interact with a mirror bc she's nothing more than an extension of himself to talk to. She is MUCH better in her scenes with Alexis and her sisters, like earlier this week bc they give her somethnig to work with and those scenes were emotionally charged. With Jason, its the same damn scenes. KM probbaly doesnt even need to look at the script when she sees SB is her acting partner bc she doesnt need to act; all Sam does in these situatinos is react to him

I wish they'd finally reveal her father. Thats something they rpetty much ignored. Im almost afraid though they'd make him some big rival mob boss and Sam will be torn between standing by Jason or getting to know the father, she never had.

Here is how I see the show. There are now two trinities opposed to each other. There is the Sonny-Jason-Carly trinity of lawbreakers who took over the show around fifteen years ago. They are the established order. Then there is the law-abiding trinity of Dante, Lucky, and Lulu. They are the heroes of the show and want the good guys to actually be the goods guys like in the old days of Robert Scorpio and Frisco Jones. Then there are the the Davis women- Alexis, Sam, and Kristina. Lastly, there is Michael. Those ten characters are the show. Everyone else in the cast is fighting for screen time.

Sonny, Jason, and Carly- Maurice Bernard and Steve Burton have these established routines that they go through and sometimes they actually have to act. Laura Wright is actually acting and is a screen hog. A lot of her scenes are scenes just to have Carly talking. Jason is on every day and I think he hates Dante because he is also on every day now. Jason wants to kill Dante so that no one else gets as much screen time as he gets.

Dante- I love this guy. He is the challenger to the established order. In the first four months of the year screen counts showed that he appeared in one more episode than Jason. He is replacing Jason as the hero of the show. Dominic Zoprogna deserves Emmy consideration next year.

Lucky- Jonathan Jackson is excellent. Dante and Lucky are a great partnership.

Lulu- She is the girlfriend of the show's new leading man, and that gives her new prominence. Julie Berman is decent but there is nothing outstanding to her performances.

Sam- She is Jason's girlfriend and therefore gets a lot of screentime. She is also a Davis sister. She shows up in a lot of scenes and ends up having only a line or two. When she is with Steve Burton I think Kelly Monaco is just phoning it in. I think Monaco enjoys doing the Davis women scenes more.

Kristina and Michael- Storylines wrap themselves around these two. She causes Claudia's accident, while he kills her. March and April were all about Kristina's abuse storyline, while May is all about Michael going to prison. These two carry bloodlines transcending the major families of Port Charles. He is a Quartermaine and a Spencer, while she is a Corinthos and a Cassadine. Instead of being brother and sister, the two ought to get married and unite the bloodlines of the show. I feel that the true Michael has yet to appear. While Chad Duell is better than Drew Garrett, I am impressed with neither. On the other hand, I think Lexi Ainsworth is great and ought to be getting Emmy consideration next year.

Alexis- the only remaining character on the show given sufficient dialogue and storyline. Nancy Lee Grahn has been excellent lately and deserves Emmy consideration next year.

I really hope Sam's father is someone better than Anthony Zacchara. But it would be cool if it was someone from the show's past...Hmm Frisco anyone?? Nahh that would be weird...

IDK.

The show is still good, and I love this stuff with Carly. She has been great to Lulu and Lulu chose BUSTERBROWN over her family, no matter HOW you spell it out...That's what happened. Moving on...

Wish we coulda seen more of Alexis's trial :(

Lucky seemed more heartbroken to lose Jason then Sam did...LOL. Sam was all pumped, almost as if she couldn't wait for him to go, meanwhile Lucky was borderline about to bust out crying when he found out the Borg was putting himself in jail....wow.

It's amazing how unbalanced this show is! So nauseating. Omg day in and day out this week, we saw the same exact characters :wacko: where is everybody...sheesh.

ITA with all of the above....I like this Morgan better, to. I just wish Morgan would STHU about going to a Yankees game already. He mentions it in every episode he's in! Omg I will take you, just as long as you shutup about it for once...geessh!!~

Chad Duell is boring. His eyes are so droopy, it seems like he's thinking about everything he is saying. Nothing comes natural out of him...I can't stand him as Michael~! In the prison scenes on Friday's ep, I just thought of DG in the role of Michael doing those scenes 100% better...sigh

    • the famous babyswitch. the best babyswitch imo
    • Yes, it has. It was seen in the episodes when Dani broke into the house while Hayley and Bill were on their honeymoon. Dani and a Fairmont Crest security guard were also shown outside the house's entrance. Bill and Hayley were seen in the foyer when they returned. I imagine the set will resurface when there's a need for it.
    • There is some kind of arrangement going on between Justin and Evie, who seems to be caring for Sam. I'm not sure, but she may even be living there with Justin and Phillip. Phillip inviting Evie at least makes a little more sense (if the guest list was limited to women Vanessa liked, it would've only consisted of Trish and Helena. lol)  Maybe it was more common to hang on to performers, back in the day? Instead of immediately kicking them to the curb? Evie hadn't had much to do after Chet was revealed to be her stalker. With Rita, Jackie and Ben gone, there weren't many on the canvas she'd really worked with, other than Ross. They could've pivoted her back to Ross, instead of letting him languish love-less for nearly a year other than goo-goo eyeing Amanda. Nowadays, there might've been a moment written Jordan and Janet, an eye-wink to the audience about them having previously worked together.
    • I 100% agree that Bill and Haley's set would work better as a bedroom. I also think it might have made more sense to give them a penthouse instead of a mansion. Realistically they aren't going to have the room for multiple mansions, even with the larger studios. A more open concept penthouse would've been fine. I also wish more people lived together. The age confusion kinda messes that up but I would at least have Chelsea living with Dani. If Martin were Anita and Vernon's child (as he should be), I'd have these families living together as well. By doing that, the space used for Martin and Smitty's house could be used to build a dining room for the Dupree home and I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to throw a couple bedrooms in as needed.
    • CBS primetime was such a mess in the 1990s. 1990/91 fourth consecutive third place finish. 1991/92 to 1993/94 some signs of life but it didn't last.  1994/95 to 1999/2000 another primetime mess era. 1995 the sale to Westinghouse and Les Moonves arrived. The only bright spots were Touched by an Angel becoming a Top 10 show and Everybody Loves Raymond starting to show growth. CBS primetime would have a comeback in 2000 with the premieres of Survivor and CSI and Everybody Loves Raymond becoming a Top 10 show, and the rest is history.
    •  Thanks! For some reason I had misremembered ER and Chicago Hope going directly head to head but that may have been because of the hype about both shows.    Poor Connie Chung. She seem poised for success and possibly the next Barbara Walters. I don’t recall her co-anchor gig on the CBS Evening News was well received though. She kind of tanked her career moving into more a tabloid journalist role once at ABC and especially once she moved off network TV to CNN and later more infamously on MSNBC.

    • Strangely, it was Phillip who invited Evie to go to the ball with him. She had been taking care of Samantha, so I guess it was a way to thank her for helping Justin after Jackie's death? So she was not invited by Vanessa. Phillip brought her as his plus one. That Evie stayed on the canvas so long is extremely odd, especially since Ben was gone way before her. My theory is Marland was going to bring Rita back, so they wanted Evie to remain in place as her sounding board. When he left and Potter was still EP, that might have still been the plan. Once Kobe came in, that would have been thrown in the dumpster along with a lot of other story plans and characters.
    • Nina and Portia are generally presented as entirely too savvy to not think this ketamine (don't even GET me started on that) nonsense wouldn't immediately blow up in their face. Drew, the ex-navy seal and congressman, wouldn't get a drug test immediately after acting wildly out of character? Portia allowed this to so easily be traced back to her by roping in Brad, a man who can't stand her? Nina didn't think Willow would Stand By Her Man? Girl, PAY ATTENTION! I also find it disturbing how BOTH of them are gaslighting Willow. It feels gross. They should have presented Gio as anything other than a responsible, genial and affable guy if they wanted us to buy any of Dante's ranting about him. You've known this kid since he was a baby and suddenly you're yelling at him like he's the devil incarnate? It was so forced. Every one of them, including Dante, know that they all would have done the same thing in Gio's shoes. Teen gets drunk, friends cover for them. Gio's only 5 years older than him, barely allowed to legally drink himself. How was he to know the kid had alcohol poisoning? Alexa Havins crying every day over keeping a baby secret. Ahh memories. Molly and Kristina are just the worst to their mom and Alexis allows it. Kristina does need to be committed, she's a danger to herself and others. I wish Alexis would just tell her that she knows. I can't wait until Molly finds out about her almost getting Ric and Liz killed. I need her to body slam Kristina. Sasha thinks she knows EVERYTHING. She's always giving advice and painted as right no matter what. And so holier than thou while carrying a married man's baby.
    • Correction, Chicago Hope 1994/95 was initially Thursday 9 pm, a CBS dead zone and head-to-head w/ Seinfeld. 1994/95 CBS Thursday 10 pm initially was Eye to Eye with Connie Chung. Later in the season CBS did a scheduling shift with Chicago Hope moving to Monday 10 pm, Eye to Eye with Connie Chung moving to Thursday 9 pm, and 48 Hours moving from Wednesday 10 pm to Thursday 10 pm.
