Could Franco be the Balkan??

I realize now he can't be Aleksander's father too young

[remos]

When it's put like that, it does seem that a lot happened all over the canvas. Unfortunately those recaps don't point out that CarSaSon dominated almost 7 scenes a day, 4 days a week.

[R Sinclair]

Okay, call me incredibly out of the loop, but what the hell is a CarSaSon?

[R Sinclair]

Oh.

Oh, and Jane can go take her old widow ass and sit on a hot poker. Oooh, she loved Alexis! Ooooh, she loved Skye! Ooooh, she loved Brenda! Ooooh, she loved Carly! NOW, all of a sudden, she hates on Brenda in favor of The Horse? If I didn't think she was useless before for oooohing all over every one of Jax's brides, this definitely solidifies it for me.

[Mr. Vixen]

Carly, sonny Jason.

[Cheap21]

she said Carly is the best thing to happen to Jax and Brenda has done nothing but hurt him. She LOVED Brenda up until I guess that one kiss with Sonny which caused Jax to dump her. Too bad she doesnt seem to be aware of or care that Carly has since cheated on Jax multiple times by having sex with Sonny while married to Jax.

[remos]

LOL, I've also dubbed them the Unholy Trinity.

Carly

Sonny

Jason

This one wasn't mine, I've just copied it.

[Cyberologist]

Oh its much more I condensed it but I was just hitting on some points to get the juices flowing re: what happened during the early part of the year like I didn't even get into the Brenda deal but I am glad you pointed that out because I didn't even realize it until reading your post...since I dont watch GH full eppys much mostly clips

CarSaSon "the Axis of Evil" "The unholy Triad or /Trinity" they have a lot of descriptives I've read over the years...I can't think of many of them at the moment..

[remos]

The number of scenes a day has always annoyed me. I remember the summer Tracy was in Shadybrook, they would have one scene of 30 seconds and that counts as 1 in her Episode Count, but Sonny was often on 6 scenes for upwards of 3 minutes at a crack, and that also counted as 1 in his Episode Count. Clearly the episode counts don't represent the entire story and just because other characters are around with their own stories doesn't mean those stories got equal or even decent representation.

[Cheap21]

that reminds me of Sam who's maintained decent episode counts but hasnt had a story in god knows how long.

btw, why was Tracy in Shadybrooke? Must have happened when I dropped the show

[Mr. Vixen]

It was during the conscience thing. Right after they killed alan and everyone was so pissed, so they decided to keep him around as a "ghost" to haunt Tracy, because Tracy and Luke changed Alan's will so they got more.

So Alan haunted tracy for a good solid year. She had whole conversations with him, and everyone knew about it and thought she was crazy. Even Bobbie, who was rarely on the show, had a whole conversation with Tracy because she overheard Tracy "talking to alan".

Edward didn't believe that Alan was haunting Tracy so he had Tracy committed to Shadybrook for a couple months. It was kind of fun.

[R Sinclair]

Oh... okay... I guess. Another question from the clueless:

While I, now, get the "Car"... and I get the "Son..." How the hell does the "Sa" represent Jason?

That's preposterous! That swayback nag is the best thing to happen to Jax? She's stomped all over his balls!

[Mr. Vixen]

That's the part I don't get either! I always thought she meant Carly Sam Sonny...But over the months getting to know remos's posts, I figured out she meant Jason. I'm not sure how it works.

[DRW50]

SaSon - Sam and Jason?
