Between Emma understanding that boys can like boys and Bobbie wishing her son would find the perfect man and get married, this eppy should have been called General Hospital: Prop 8!

So Lucas is coming back isn't he?

I don't think that shoutout was in vain!

It probably means he's coming back but it may be to help further create a complication alongside Felix and Milo. A triangle maybe? I think the writers want to try something with Milo because why would they revisit Felix having a crush on him? That was settled months ago, or so we thought.

Because they have nothing else for Felix to do? I dunno--it does seem random I'll agree there

Tuesday wasn't as good ... I hate Dante, he should be thrown off the force for police brutality. I'm also sick of one-dimensional archvillainess Dr. Obrecht, with her zick agcent and evil vays. I think the show wants to suggest the surprise she and Britt are talking about is revealing Robin is alive to Patrick, so maybe it actually won't be that. I did like Obrecht hiding her face and turning her back when Anna was there.

Also I haven't mentioned yet, I still love Finola Hughes and Anna Devane! True to form as the great cop I remember from AMC. (I actually saw her first on AMC, not GH in the 80s.)

Seems like a a real big waste for TJ, who I liked from what I saw Tuesday, not to be Tommy Hardy. Any way to retcon that into happening?

I liked Epiphany talking to Patrick. Some may consider it propping up Sabrina, but I thought the conversation was more about Patrick. Also I LOL'ed at the use of "realization" instead of "epi ..."

Felix mentioned that Milo had told him he wasn't gay and explained that he was hoping Milo was just in denial -- I can relate to that. I feel like the actor who plays Milo is underwhelming though. If the greatness of any character has been told, not shown, ad nauseam, the past few days for me, it's "magic Milo."

I didn't read too much into the mention of Lucas. Soaps sometimes like to throw in these references to history and family. It would be natural for Bobbie to bring up her son after not being seen for several years. Viewers would want to know. It would be cool if he does come on though.

I see what people are saying about Nikolas's shooting not having enough buildup, and I don't want either amnesia or for him to be unconscious for weeks either, but I don't think there's anything wrong with something happening every episode, with the show not wanting you to miss a day. And it wouldn't have worked for him to have had a lot of time to talk to Laura before being shot, for the sake of the Lulu plot. There will be time for that later.

Yes there is action and stuff happening, and every episode is an event, but there are still emotional stakes and the focus is still on the characters and their relationships. The show really took a lot of time for Scott and Bobbie to just go down memory lane and discuss some of the ups and downs of their lives. It was a great touch. I'm also getting a consistent theme of so many characters wanting other people who they can't have ... It wasn't just random for Scotty to mention his torch for Laura and Bobbie's torch for Scott, in the context of the other major story in the episode around Felix wanting Milo who wants Sabrina who along with Britt wants Patrick who misses Robin.

Some of what Alexis said (like her "I'm sorry") made me think she might know something about Lulu or the shooting. Also the fact that Olivia had her vision when Alexis was there.

Sincere thanks for the transcript, R Sinclair, it's informative, but I think you missed my point ..

I was mainly saying if any writers are to blame for that Felix/Milo discontinuity, it's not the script writers, it's either breakdown or head writers. Someone earlier in the thread -- not you, you were talking about the writers in general -- specifically called out the "script writers" as not communicating, blamed the "script writers" for forgetting that Felix had been told by Milo he wasn't gay, and implied that the "script writers" added on Felix's continued crush to what was "broken down" for them.

The blame was being focused on script writers in the post when it shouldn't be. That's the bulk of what I was replying to.

Clearly as we saw Tuesday, the "script writer" Katherine Schock did mention that Felix had been told by Milo he wasn't gay, and also clearly it is part of the storyline that Felix has a crush, not added on by the "script writers."

It's true that I was also saying though, in addition, that it's believable that Felix would still have a crush after that. I don't think it's discontinuity at all, script or otherwise. Even with the transcript, I still don't see the discontinuity. There are plenty of reasons for someone who has a crush to still hold on to irrational hope after a conversation like the one you quoted -- for example, "not that I'm aware of"?

Dear God, this is what drives me bonkers! However, here's the Felix/Milo back story (if you can call 3 scenes a back story) so maybe now you will "know why." In January, Felix, Sabrina and Liz all went out together to the Haunted Star. Felix sat to have a drink with Milo, the two of them talked about Milo's workout routine as Felix gushed and ogled and then Felix flat out offered Milo sex!

(1/28/13)

Milo: That, my friend, is why they call it a 12-pack.

Felix: [Chuckles] Lord, I love math. As a matter of fact, I'd like to learn more. Why don't we get out of here?

Milo: Ah, gym's closed now.

Felix: I'm not talking about the gym. I'm talking about a different kind of workout.

Milo: You mean like MMA or something?

Felix: No, S-E-X.

Milo: (Spits out beer) [...] I'm not gay.

Felix: You're not?

Milo: No.

Felix: But you're so ripped.

Milo: Yeah, well, that's true.

Felix: You sure you're not gay?

Milo: Uh, yeah. Not that I'm aware of.

Felix: Wow. Then my gaydar needs a serious tune-up. Milo.

Milo: Felix.

Thanks for your lecture on script writing, though. I found it highly informative. smile.png

Britt seemed scared shitless when Dr O mentioned her father, so I think it is Faison

Please make it so so that he can grace me with his fantastically evil presence once again...wub.png

I really like Showkiller Guza. I wish I'd used that instead of Luza. It has such a nice ring to the ear.

That was me, and I freely admit that you guys are much better at who does what than I am.

My point is that to have the audience watch this man just 2 months ago being refused sex because the object of his attraction is straight and then he's disappointed because this man is asking a woman out IS ABSOLUTELY LUDICROUS! Felix being attracted to Milo is perfectly ok, but to have a school girl crush and pining? That's madness! How long does he wait until Milo "turns"? I was going to ask how old Felix was, but considering he spent the entire eppy with a 5 year old, I guess I got my answer! BTW, he and Emma were divine together :)

This kind of "writing" is consistent and it simply stinks!

Reminds me of Trassions where the morons had Luis and Sheridan arrive home twice on 2 different eppies, airing a week apart, in different clothing from the same trip. You don't get a "do over" onscreen! Awful! Just awful!

Felix is a grown man who should be written as such. Kish got better treatment!

The same Kish that was shown the door (in spite of their popularity) because TIIC decided that Duck Lips and her tool of a boyfriend were a more valuable asset?

Frons wanted Kish gone.

FRons wanted Kish gone.

Hence is why I said TIIC.

Then again, at least Kish got to hook up with one another (as well date another man, in the case of Kyle). From what I'm seen of Felix so far, his only purpose is to dish sassy advice to the non-Black characters while having no man or family of his own - much like Mammy Epiphany - so, it looks like you're right after all.

Regarding Britt's father....wasn't there a time that GH was going to bring on a character called Valentin Cassadine? Did they ever do it or am I having a senior moment?
