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.

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"?

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!

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.

      See, I imagine it as some kind of "private" room within a bigger casino.

      I like Nicole for several reasons, she has all the good attributes and qualities of a good person. You have to be a huge hater to dislike someone like her. I consider Dani an underdog. She had a lot to live up to and she hasn't contributed to the family name imo. Naomi and Martin seem to had more flourishing careers than she has.  She might've had a long marriage, but Bill cheated on her left and right. I am sure they had some good times, but I wouldn't call it a great marriage or anything to brag about. She modeled for what 2/3 years? That's not that successful, especially if she didn't pivot to something more lucrative. And that is the real reason she plays momanger cause she is living through Chelsea. Dani is nothing without her family name. Nicole doesn't need the Dupree; she made her own mark! And that's what you should do when you're born with privilege, flip that [!@#$%^&*]! The opportunity is there for the writers to play up her insecurities and resentment issues, but will they? There must've been a reason for her to choose Bill over someone with more status, or coming from another wealthy family. Right?  I don't expect everyone to understand her, but I do, and probably would've made her a more screw up and didn't amount to much outside having some kids.  The lack of crossover from the in-laws always bothered me, too. I hope at some point we get some family dinners. I know it's not earth-shattering entertainment, but I'm a sucker for those scenes. And you can still move the story along, too! I forgot all about my boo Jacob, and he was on today. He, for some reason, reminds me of Garfield the cat!

      You're right about that hetero bio son Dupree, though.

      The casino set needs to be upgraded or needs to go. Why would anyone rich spend their time in the wood paneled 1960’s room instead of just playing cards in what I assume is the normal nice looking casino area.

      It wasn't his first appearance, though; per the end credits, he is a principal guest star (a.k.a. recurring).

      Vanessa was flirty with Smitty, and it was weird. Smitty didn't think anything about it was cute or fun. The sex talk between Cody and Vanessa at Orphey Gene's? Also weird af. We needed either a longer scene or another scene to make any of that work. Vanessa is coming off like a nymphomaniac. Forced for plot convenience, just as it was when we saw Eva (HUH???) in that casino backroom. Sorry, none of this casino stuff works. I thought the same thing -- I enjoyed all the different character groupings, but the dialogue was not natural and didn't flow. Yep, kinda weird. I don't get it. Of course, I also don't get the discussion of not having Doug as the surgeon. Is he the only doctor anyone trusts? Then we have June's entire heart procedure talked about, performed, and over within 20 minutes of screen time. -- Cady McClain gives us a different variation of that accent every time she appears. The dialogue between Pamela and Dani is too cute by half. -- BTG, please stop mentioning Martin's run for the presidency. -- I hope we're not going to see Ted soften towards Dana and be taken in by her line of bull. She just blew up his life, and I don't want to see him sympathize with her in any way.

      Agree.  But I would describe him as being disappointed not bitter.

      >>><<< Great minds!  Kat certainly does prove that point. She's been given a lot to work with, so we shouldn't be bored of her anytime soon. I am interested in all her storylines at the moment, and curious how the show will use the affair to impact her romances and business stories. Well, what movie was it? Cause… I noticed it too. The first couple of seconds of the song were slightly different. OMG! Great call, precisely the same situation.

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      I think Kin was dissatisfied at GH in as much as Scotty had been pushed aside for Luke/Laura and the writing was doing him no favors as Scotty was now seen as an obstacle to their romance. So with his contract up he was offered big $$$ to move to Texas, which you can't blame him for. In addition to the money, I recall he was promised that Jeb would be a more dynamic character than Scotty. The money came through but not the story, so  don't blame him for being  slightly bitter.

      A random thought - June is related to Hayley AND Tyrell and Samantha. Hayley and June are sisters separated when young. Years later June's children Ty and Sam end up being adopted into the Dupree family, coincidentally giving Hayley a further link to that family.
