As do I. And for me the most poetic choice would be that, unlike in 2012 where it was Monica who knew and had been protecting him for years, we discover it is a resentful Michael, who found out from his grandmother that A.J. was once again clinging to life and has been shepherding him ever since, torn between two fathers. At the worst possible time for Sonny, preferably.

Michael, you little bitch.

No wonder why Willow wants to cheat

I really hope that Michael lying and helping cover up Jagger’s death ends up being the thing that finally pushes Willow into Drew’s arms. It literally is the perfect catalyst. 

But I also have to admit that Drew did seem a little creepy today. Maybe this all really is an elaborate scheme for him to get back at Nina.

Someone said that Cameron has just signed a new 3 year deal with GH. Frank just keeps making decisions that make me ... want to vomit. I thought sure they would cut him loose. It's so clear & has been for so long that he is woefully miscast. Cameron Mathison, the actor who plays Drewfus. Actually, of course, he is playing Ryan Lavery. Or maybe he's just playing himself & when he was at AMC, it was the same situation. To anyone who has seen him in one of these movies, is there any discernible difference to those characters?

I was expecting her to take it out at the gravesite but obviously not complete the act... Britney Spears' paternal grandmother died that way, at her baby's grave. 

 

I caught that when Kristina was talking about "Adela" that Alexis sort of cringed and said "the baby"... poor woman is never going to be able to refer to her granddaughter by name at the risk of offending one daughter or the other.

Now, I, too, thought she was having a suicidal impulse, but this alternate theory is maybe much more interesting. Krazy Kuckoo Kristina in Krazy Person Lock-up is much soapier than dead dame. 

But, not seeing Sonny use Carly one more time, come on, you really didn't see that coming?!! Michael went into "Save This Sonny Situation" so fast I could hardly credit it. Only moments  had passed. "Mom's at the house. She can alibi you." Meanwhile he was in perpetual motion, doing cover-up things.

I won’t be so churlish as to deny that the show is more exciting, the action has accelerated and the drama has ramped up in the last few weeks, with the return of well-placed cliffhangers, but damn, I don’t like this writing at all.

Both in terms of putting the chess pieces back exactly where they were before, and a lot of the character depth being stripped away.

It’s clear to me (and probably everyone here) that Kristina will be in the frame for Cates’ murder, presenting Sonny, Michael and Carly with a ‘dilemma’ and seeking ways to ‘save’ her while shielding Sonny from justice- again.

Agreed on all of the above. And in the end they will absolutely pit Wagger's murder on someone else. That's their only option unless they really want to redo the cold-blooded murder of A.J. which, who knows.

I've seen this story so many times on the show - there's always some bullshît escape hatch which exonerates the mob either figuratively or literally, proves Sonny right, etc. This goes back to the Guza II years, where even Dante's childhood idol from his backstory, a beat cop in his neighborhood in Brooklyn, turned out to be corrupt or something to make Sonny look good lol. Somehow there will be some nonsense to get Sonny off.

    • Which could make sense , except that we have seen Mariah function for years w/o any real residue pain from her upbringing. Josh decides to randomly make it a thing, when a good writer might foreshadow that for months. It's not like he's just arrived at the show. He's been there for years . Everything seems to be thought out only a few weeks ahead. It's like Phyllis all freaky from being kidnapped when she has done a million other things that didn't seem to bother her at all.
    • Unrelated, sort of, but he looks absolutely nothing like Amanda Setton or Dominic Zamprogna so it's kind of hilarious they decided to make Gio their kid.  It's very clear this was not the original origin story for Gio when they cast him. He is a very handsome guy though. 
    • I tend to agree, although going back to OLTL, Frank has so often cast guys who are meant to be attractive yet come across as cold and dead, I'm surprised he managed to get one who has a bit of a pulse.
    • For all I care, the boy can parade around in a g-string.  It won't make this show suck any less.
    • AMC was about a decade later so things may have changed by then, although maybe they never approached her anyway. She joined Santa Barbara in 1985, when they didn't seem interested in bringing back Hope. SB ended in late 1992, so JFP could have asked her back, but I doubt she did. For as much as JFP clearly had some use for Rick Hearst given that she hired him on GH and kept him around as often as she could, I don't think she ever used Alan-Michael well. I can't see Elvera as Delia, but she could have worked well as Faith - she had a glimpse of a strong personality alongside warmth, which only one Faith ever managed (Catherine Hicks).
    • IIRC, FC reruns aired for awhile on Lifetime, way before the network became the Women in Peril Channel, lol.
    • PAM!! YES!!! You have jogged my memory. She worked at Cedars. She's mentioned in a write-up of Tim's history in the show. It says she was a nurse, but I seem to remember she was a secretary at Cedars, working for either Ed or Sarah. (It's almost 50 years ago, so I definitely could be wrong). I'm certain she was an unwed mother. I recall reading an interview with the actress, Maureen Silliman (I looked it up, that's her correct name, LOL). She started on the show just before the Dobsons started writing it. She was shocked to get a script that said her character had been pregnant since she hit town. I remember a scene where she told Tim she was going to leave SF for a better job for her daughter's sake (really, I think she was upset he was serious about Rita). I don't remember them getting married and leaving town, but according to "Who's Who in Springfield" that's how the characters were written out. Mattson did All My Children for several years, so she might have been persuadable. Here's an interesting factoid I recently learned on these message boards: Elvera Roussel was in the running to play Delia on RH when the show first hit the air. How wild is it that Mattson played Delia for a while? (Though from what I saw of her performance, she was miscast). It's hard to know if Roussel would have been a good Delia. You'd think she would have been better suited to playing Faith Coleridge, but who knows? She didn't get to show a whole lot of range as Hope.
    • If I were to do an EON reboot, I think I would start at the beginning, with Mike Karr leaving the police force in order to begin a new career as an attorney, and dealing with his wife, Sara's, crooked family.
    • I don't know if it was the writing or performance but I felt like we finally got to see the real Ted. Especially the way he talked to Martin when confronted, felt like a completely different person. He felt darker and like a total liar who was mad he got caught. I expected him to be remorseful and want to apologize to each and every family member who he came into contact with but he seemed like he didn't care. It completely changed how I view him and it makes me wonder if this is the direction they're going to take Ted in with the recast.
