I could see Laura resigning as Mayor. Ever since the death of Spencer & Nikolas in jail, she seems lost.

I think that she may choose to leave politics to focus on family, and then she goes to find Lucky to bring him back to Port Charles.

This week's Scorpio family scenes were as good as the Deception scenes from last week. Maxie was in the middle of both stories and was very good.

lol at her trying to return. 

 

 

The show will resurrect Britt. I believe Dr. Obrecht is working on some method to bring Britt back to life. When Dr. Obrecht returns to the show, Britt will return soon after.

Maybe it's just me but it seems to me that we've just come to a logical conclusion with this story. I said all along that I didn't think they would end up freeing Heather. Several different perspectives have been represented. I believe there's a fairly nice symmetry to what I hope is this ending. Curtis, whose perspective was markedly different than Portia's, went & talked to Heather. What he said was compelling to her apparently, which gave her the motivation to ask Laura to leave things alone as they are. Jordan supported Laura's premise & approach. Portia had & expressed the most extreme POV. Trina, on her own, spoke to Laura, at a bit different point than either Curtis or Portia. Liz only got marginally drawn in. Now, I'm left still wanting Portia to be called out on her hypocrisy so I don't get what I want but it looks like most people will end up happy. 

Heather appeared in the opening for the first time yesterday. I don't think that the show is done with her yet.

Gati Tweets has just posted. Been very busy. Writing. She filmed a movie. Etc. No mention of the show booking her. If they had, she'd have said.

BTW, if you are being a swami, making predictions, it would seem that your latest flies in the face of what Kelly T herself knows to be the actual truth, which is that she wanted to return to GH but when she ran it up the flagpole, no one saluted.

I certainly did not say anything that would make a regular fan think they were getting rid of Heather. For the record, I think the very idea is ludicrous. Why would they have gone to all this trouble if they were just going to write her off the show. I encourage critical reading & thinking.

They should reveal Portia's real name:  Karen.  The actress isn't great (like most of the terrible Passions cast), but the character is even worse with constant hand-wringing and needless histrionics.  The show gives her way too much airtime in general. 

While I'm not crazy about the way Portia is dealing with everything, I disagree about Brooke Kerr as an actress.

I think Brooke Kerr is both beautiful & a talented actress. Not saying she's the best but certainly above average, IMO. ATM she is suffering with some really obsessed writing, one narrow way of thinking, tinged with this huge urgency she seems to feel. She's gonna be a protestor with nothing & no one to protest against in about 2 days' time. 

I like Brooke Kerr. It's unfortunate the choices they've made for her character and who they pair her with.

Is GH really making a general statement that the mentally ill shouldn't be blamed for their crimes, including murder? Because these dumbass characters are making that point in "asking questions" about Heather.

This is as bad as writing that makes Ava the villain and Natalia the innocent bystander.

I'm not sure if Trina stumbled over what exactly it was that she said, but it is absolutely true in our country that there is such a thing as diminished capacity & someone who does something who is mentally ill is not held accountable in the same way or to the same degree as someone who is not & is just mean, or evil. There's lock-up for the criminally insane & there's lock-up for ordinary hardened criminals & they're two different situations.

I get your point. However, I'm bothered more about people who are locked up because of some marijuana charge or because they couldn't afford a lawyer at all than I am about a mentally ill person who committed murder.

Well, you pull out the two extremes, but, yes, agree. Too many prisons were populated by non-violent victims of the "war on drugs"!
