To me, it would have been more plausible for Scotty Baldwin to be Oscar's lawyer, and for Alexis to fight the good fight as a lawyer on behalf of her former son-in-law, who she had gotten along with rather well, once it was determined he was not Jason.  That said, yes, Alexis certainly did deserve the slap!  I am still in awe about how quickly the writers transformed Oscar from puppy dog cute into a totally unsympathetic whiner.  Maybe part of the problem is, they are not dramatizing Oscar's physical suffering and pain enough.  Everybody is doing alot of talking about the tumor, but, as a viewer, all I see is a bratty teenager, not a suffering person who is clearly not thinking straight.  

 

I think the show is so much better with Genie back, by leaps and bounds.  I am in no way implying that none of the same problems that have been plaguing the show are still not there.  They are, but, they are easier for me to deal with with GF back home.

 

If what the rumor mills are saying is proven to be true, I'm kind of sad that Kiki will end up being one of Ryan's victims, because now, with Kiki being a constant thorn in Ava's side, the dynamic between Kiki and Ava is the most interesting it has ever been.  I'd prefer to see alot more of it.

There is so much potential on this show right now that a few casting changes would help.

 

I enjoyed Braun as Carly, but I find her in scenes with Bobbie and Jason to be a distraction, and her portrayal to be timid.  Sarah Brown really made Claudia work on this show.  She had stronger writing and costars though.  Kim is a drip.

 

Julian is pointless.  

 

Liz should be with either Drew or Jason.  Those pairings make sense and do not depend on making Franco work.

 

Better actor as Oscar and that story would have potential too.  It has the trappings of an old fashioned soap tale.  The kid taking his parents to court for a right to die on his terms.  It’s soapy gold.

 

Every time I see Nina all I can think is everything with her would work better if she was Kate.  They could have used the coma angle, the lost (given away) kid from when she was younger.  I’m also talking about original recipe Kate Howard, not the DID mess.  I think Stafford would make a better Kate than the last one too.

 

The scene with Carly and Laura talking about Ferncliff was effective because Wright really sold her painful experience.

 

I love Kevin, but the dark part of me wishes that once it was all revealed we would learn Ryan has been a figment of Kevin’s fractured mind the whole time, and it has been Kevin all along that is once again psycho.

 

Over the years I have seen Genie demonstrate chemistry with Tony, Sonny, Robert, Mac, Stefan and of course, Luke.   But I don’t see anything with Kevin.  

 

 

I will give the writers credit.  These stories should be working.  The production side (casting and how the stories are told) is doing them no favors.

 

I love seeing Monica and Bobbie, but I’m kind of glad it is in small doses.  Even though both of them look closer to themselves than they have at times, their bad work is still distracting.  I don’t know why Zeman had such major and ultimately damaging plastic surgery in the late 1990’s.  The shape of her face changed and it has been strange to watch her ever since.  She was a vital character to me before this and I still enjoy seeing her, just in small doses now.

Sam’s disguise looked so stupid.

 

The set she and Spinelli were interrogating Margaux’s mother on looked familiar.  Was that the old set of Elizabeth’s house?  It also looked kind of like Laura’s old house but from a differnt angle too.

 

By the way- having scenes with Elizabeth’s house and this house but both are painted and styled almost he same is not good.  The should not seem like they are the same place.  There are plenty of paint colors, why does everything have to be a shade of green, white and blue on this show?

 

Was Laura in Ferncliff?  I can’t remember if that was always the name of the mental facility outside Port Charles.

A few things ...

 

As a Tamara fan, I feel let down. This storyline is horrible. Kim is boring, Oscar sucks and I hate Julian. She is way too good for this mess. I just want her back as Carly if she's going to be on the show.

  I actually loved Carly during the Tamara years. She was one of my favorites but LW has made me hate the character. I wish she'd leave town already.

 

I can't get behind Franco and Liz. I tried but I can't. Roger and Becky look like they're in two different scenes at times. That scene with Aiden's teacher made me cringe. And why was Franco doing most of the talking? They can't even let Liz be the lead in a story about her own child? Let the character of Franco go. This is ridiculous.

 

I don't care about Nina, therefore, I don't care about Sasha. Peter is pointless. As is Maxie. I'm happy GF/Laura is back but I wish they'd recast Lulu. 

 

Finally, can the writers just stop with Jasam? I have never liked them mainly because I have never liked Sam. I have always thought she was a ridiculous character and I still hate that they made Alexis her mother. The propping of this so-called "supercouple" over the past week was insane. Spinelli and Kristina are embarrassing.

What was with the strange way Anna and Finn were sitting in bed at the beginning of the show today?  It was so odd.

 

I enjoyed Anna’s smugness when meeting with Britt.  I still love Finola after all this time.

 

Are we chemistry testing Michale and Margaux?  She will eat Duell alive.

This Margaux story is pointless and boring because Sonny, Jason and Carly always win. I am sick of TPTB constantly trying to convince us that they're the "good guys". Elizabeth Hendrickson should have been a Sarah Webber recast and they could've made her an interesting character this time around. Instead, they're wasting her. 

 

And I'd give anything for them to bring someone like Britt back. Get rid of Maxie and Lulu to pay for her.

    • It's not her favorite scent Nicole hit up the supermarket and they didn't have that pink bottle they flashed to last time Anita and Nicole were in that living room. 
    •   I think Darlene works as the 911 dispatch operator.
    • Luke and Darlene. It was mentioned that Luke is also on the police force so we might see him soon. I agree, if we see any scenes between Dana/Leslie and Kat in the coming weeks it will further fuel my babyswitch theory.
    • Yeah, they have my sympathies but this only works as high camp.  I dunno, have her angrily febreeze her room or SOMETHING (ok that's not much better but...)
    • This crap will not age well when we look back. There's one thing to be subtle, but you're taking any emotion out of the storyline and scene when you have a broken character picking up a Febreeze can and reminiscing about it like it meant something.  They gotta get better at this.

      Watching this right now, BC mentions that Samantha and Tyrell were initially 6 and 7, but aged up for technical reasons. Also MM initially auditioned for Derek.
    • And now Guiding Light continues... Mike, following a new lead, finds a man in Redding,California, who claims to be Clint Pearson, but Mike is sure he is Spence Jeffers, especially when Pearson threatens Mike if he doesn’t stop the investigation. Mike returns with Ann, who identifies Pearson as Jeffers. Pearson has just married a woman who owns a restaurant with him. Realizing that he can’t deny his identity to Ann, Jeffers tells her that Jimmy died in Alaska over a year ago. Ann is devastated, but Mike feels Jeffers is lying about this too. When they can find no record of Jimmy’s death, Ann’s hope is restored.  Desperate to keep his new wife, Mae, from learning about his shady past, Jeffers comes to Springfield and offers Ann “the truth” about Jimmy in exchange for a quick divorce and no bigamy charges. When Ann assumes that this means’ Jimmy is alive. Jeffers tells her no, but he didn’t report the boy’s death because they were fishing in a remote area and there was no one around for days after the accident. Mike and Leslie decide to plan for a child of their own. When Mike tells Leslie he’s up for the post of County Commissioner and he wants to take her on an exotic vacation, she delightedly informs him that she’s the happiest and luckiest woman in the world, because she belongs to him! Later, while Leslie is out, Jeffers arrives at the Bauers’, drunk. Ann arrives, and Spence tries to bribe her to drop the bigamy charge. Mike and Jeffers fight, and Mike is knocked out. Scared and cornered, Jeffers charges out, and as he speeds out of the driveway, Ann hears a terrible scream. Leaving Mike, still unconscious, Ann finds that Leslie has been struck down by Jeffers’s car, and Jeffers has disappeared. Ann summons an ambulance for Mike and Leslie. Mike, regaining consciousness, is told about his wife. The Bauer family and friends gather to pray while Leslie is in surgery. When she finally comes out of the anesthesia, Mike is allowed in to see her. She tells him again of her love for him and for her son, Freddy (by Ed Bauer, her first husband). Not more than a few seconds after Mike leaves her side, Leslie’s heart stops beating. Dr. Joe Werner tries frantically for over twenty minutes to revive her, but, as he and Ed knew from the first, nothing could have saved Leslie. On the day of the funeral—ironically, also the day of their anniversary—Mike receives a package by messenger: a card from Leslie, reading “Happy Anniversary, Darling,’ and the gift, a watch engraved “Love Always, Leslie 6-18-76.” Mike then realizes that he hadn’t even bought a gift for her. When, as they are to leave for Leslie’s funeral,Barbara tells Holly she doesn’t want to go with Peggy and Roger, Holly angrily attacks her mother for using Leslie’s funeral as another excuse to show her hatred of Roger. As Holly accuses her of selfishness in not accepting the situation, as everyone else has, Barbara begins to see she is ruining her own life and her marriage with her self-pity and blind bitterness. Barbara swallows her pride and apologizes to Roger. A few days later, Mike reinvolves himself in the search for Jeffers and Jimmy. Mike informs Ann of a possible lead, a place called Hagen’s Lane, and when Ann disappears the following day, Mike suspects she’s gone there herself and follows her. Ann finds Jeffers there, drunk and in possession of a shotgun. When Mike arrives, Jeffers shoots him in the leg and prepares to escape to Canada after dark. During the waiting hours Mike appeals to Jeffers’s conscience. He assures Jeffers he knows that the killing he was involved  in Alaska was an accident, as was Leslie’s death. Seeing Jeffers wavering between fright and remorse, Mike describes what lies ahead for Jeffers: a life of running, more mistakes, more regrets. Mike promises that Jeffers will get a fair trial if he turns himself in. He tells him he is a good man with rotten luck. Jeffers cannot believe Mike is doing this; after all, he must be bitter about Leslie. Mike doesn’t deny his bitterness, but explains that for his wife’s sake he must help Jeffers pay his debt to society. The man in Alaska was twenty-three years old; Leslie was twentyseven. They are dead, their chance at life gone, but no one can help them now. Jeffers will lose ten years or so of his life in prison, but he must do it. Jeffers weakens. He slumps over a table, crying, “I’m so tired of running.” He then admits that Jimmy is alive and living with relatives and, already showing his penitence, helps Mike to the car. Tim makes a last-ditch attempt to win Rita back and, failing, goes out to get drunk. He later shows up again, asking her help in sobering up, as he’s been called back to Cedars for an emergency. Infuriated by Tim’s late arrival, Steve threatens to fire him. Realizing |that it’s her fault, Rita asks Ed to reconsider, not to harm Tim’s career because of her. Ed takes this into consideration and gives Tim until September to prove he’s worthy of the senior residency. Pam ‘Chandler, who became infatuated with Tim after he saved her and her daughter Samantha when Pam developed toxemia late in her pregnancy, has come to realize that Tim doesn’t see her that way. She informs Peggy that David, Samantha’s father, has written her and she’s leaving Springfield to live near him. There may be a chance for a marriage after all. Roger is upset that his new family is living in cramped quarters because he’s obligated to pay Holly back a loan she made to save his skin last year. Roger | calls on Rita and reminds her that she promised him a share of her inheritance from her rich employer inTexas. Rita claims she can’t give him anything now-her mother is ill and medical expenses are mounting. Mrs. Stapleton is suffering from frequent fainting spells, and Ed is treating her. Bert plans a joint birthday party for Ed and Christina, hoping to get Ed and Holly together to talk. Just as they do, as he blames himself for neglecting her and she regrets ever becoming involved with Roger, Ed is summoned to Rita’s home. Her mother has passed out again. Holly now realizes she wants to stop the divorce, but won’t do it without Ed’s approval. She leaves a message with the answering service to have him call. Rita, knowing the divorce is almost final, steps up her involvement with Ed and Freddy, and when the service calls Ed at her house, she “forgets” to tell him. From Bert Ed learns that Holly has been trying to reach him, and he arranges to talk to her the next day at work (she’s now Steven Jackon’s secretary), but Mrs.Stapleton becomes critical and ed is in surgery all morning.When Mike later stops by to inform Holly the divorce has gone through she maintains her composure until he is gone, then breaks down in tears, sobbing, “No! No!” Ed later learns from Rita that Holly’s call came to her, but, she explains, she forgot in the worry over her mother. When Ed tells Holly of Rita’s “oversight,” she doesn’t tell him why she was trying to reach him. Rita now volunteers to help Ed study for his neurosurgery medical board. Her assistance is helpful, and he’s grateful. Holly is hurt at seeing how cleverly Rita is insinuating herself into Ed’s life. Tim, having buckled down and proven himself,wins the senior residency, and takes Rita’s younger sister, Evie, to dinner to celebrate. More to come...  
    • I wondering why she went back there too. I wish Dani hadn't interrupted she and Nicole. Nicole seemed empathetic towards Eva for a second.
    • I felt so sorry for the actress...  What was her motivation? I usually like a good dream/fantasy sequence, but so far am not too impressed with any BTG has had...
    • Amen.   LMAO!!! All I take from that...and the NEXT WEEK promo from Friday...is that they will probably FINALLY reveal who it is this week.    THIS.
