This take may make me an ass but I am so glad Luke is not here and Laura/Lucky /Genie/Jonathan will finally have story since 1999.

Giving money doesnt make someone a Dad. If said parent aint in their kids life, they are just a sperm donor.

Lol!  Well, at least Jason pays for his kids.   I think deadbeat dad can have a broad meaning and Jason certainly checks off a lot of boxes.

Sonny/Natalia are so gross.

I hate Joss 99.9% of the time, but I would be super mad if Lucky trashed Bobbie's and I had to clean it up too.

I am not going to lie, I actually do enjoy Lucky/Jason scenes.  I think against all odds JJ/SBu have a convincing friendship or at least understanding.  They both suck right now and it's clear this is all emmy bait for JJ, but I do like them as an unlikely duo.

I love that Molly is the voice of reason about Sonny for the entire audience, but every other character (Anna) is like

I’m honestly over all of the Jagger Cates murder debacle, glad the trial will start soon so all of this is done by sweeps. I did enjoy Molly demanding Anna investigate Sonny though and loved the Claudia mention (I want SJB back on my screen soap universe pls make it happen somewhere)

Carly and Jack is my favorite pairing she’s had since RH was on as Todd. The hijinks with the PI was silly but I enjoyed it and I like Felicia having Carly’s back. They said they’d work on a friendship after Bobbie died and I’m glad the show has still maintained that.

Sonny and Natalia, yawn. The way they have Kristina act like she barely cares about Blaze after all those months we watched them together is just so funny to me, she looked so disinterested when Natalia gave her the tour update.

Jason and Anna just brushing the kiss off was kind of disappointing but I think this was only intended as a stunt moment to cause some controversy from the audience so whatever lol.

I loved Joss giving Lucky hell for trashing Bobbie’s, he deserved somebody calling him out. Nice that she still protected him when Dex and his trainer popped up to file a report. The scene with Dex Molly and Joss…I see where the train is headed just hope TJ doesn’t get parked to the side.

Lucky is being such a coward trying to run out of town already. I liked how they had Jason help him and not say exactly what to do but also encourage him not to just abandon his family again without notice. Lucky peeping how he’s basically repeated Luke’s bad deadbeat habits was interesting to hear.  The final scene of Lucky praying at the chapel for guidance and then Laura walking up was brilliant. Looking forward to Genie and JJ tomorrow.

I admit that it does feel odd to me to see Lucky and Jason in scenes because when I think of them together, I think of GV's Lucky. I can't seem to remember if JJ's Lucky and Jason interacted much at all in his last return due to all I remember is his Irish lass vs Liz. That said...I do like them in scenes for the reason you mention. They seem so unlikely given the history, but yet...it works. Moreso now that they are in the same boat. 

 

Well, it's not like Kristina can maintain the Joss/Kristina rivalry anymore so one of the Davis Girls had to do it.

 Heck, this rivalry might be even messier. 

 

I've been waiting for someone to confirm. THANK YOU.

Lucky being lectured by the most disgusting piece of trash in Port Charles is absolutely hilarious. Can’t wait for Dex to cheat with an actual human. 

His scene with Jason was ok though. 

But yeah, considering the way that Lucky was written today… that is what I meant when I mentioned being suspicious about this storyline.

Remember when I mentioned in another thread how starting Lucky’s storyline while Genie Francis was on vacation was suspicious to me. Him wanting to leave Port Charles with his tail between his legs made me feel the same way.

Almost like someone is sabotaging his character and his storyline.

I think him and Kristina would be more interesting to see or even him and Trina. The idea of a Molly and Dex pairing just sounds like a snooze longterm. With Kristina you’d get to play the already established feuds with Joss vs Kristina and Dex vs Sonny. With Trina you can play friendship betrayal and finally give Trina something interesting to do. Molly and Dex just makes for a very safe and bland choice.

I understand why they did what they did here with Lucky. The fact is he has been running for years and he would attempt (and fail) to go back to that bad pattern of behavior. It makes sense as drama, and of course he's not going anywhere.

Ah, yes. I remember! Things that make you go hmmm.

 

I totally agree. Both write themselves. And I'm still mad that before the Kristina recast, it appeared the writers were heading that way with Kristina vs Joss. Both actresses were giving catty and the writers were writing them scenes more. It's been so long since a young female rivalry that I was all for it. And even once the recast happened, there were signs (if uneven writing). But of course now the writers would go with a bland choice. Unless it gets messy.

    • It really is ridiculous how happy episodes from 40 years ago make me. God, MKA is so young!
    • Holy sh.it. THAT was a damn soap opera. I’m at a loss for words for how good that was.
    • A private elevator penthouse with a spiral staircase to the primary suite.  Sign me up! The only deficit was that various riff-raffs seemed to have easy access to the elevator.

    • Same here.  Anyone who voluntarily left Margo's penthouse set (except to go overseas or to Heaven) was immediately on my blacklist.  lol.

    • The penthouse was my favorite set... and it changed hands from Margo to Draper/April to Miles/Nicole then to just Miles... before he opted to give that beautiful place for that drab house with the even more drab Beth.  That was a jump the shark moment for me LOL
    • The storyline April and Draper are involved in during the summer/autumn of 1979 seems fairly "benign" but soon turns very serious.  April has a VERY intrusive, wealthy mother (Margo Huntington Dorn).  Margo knows that April and Draper (who've recently had a miscarriage and are theoretically never going to be able to conceive another baby) want to buy a house.  Margo hoodwinks them into buying a house they can't afford.  The house is listed at $100,000 (about $400,000 in today's dollars).  Margo pays the first $35,000 and leads Draper to believe the asking price of the house is $65,000 instead of $100,000.  If Draper finds out his meddling mother-in-law paid 1/3 of the cost of the home and tricked him, he'll be mad as hell.   Meanwhile, Draper has received a job offer from a prestigious New York law firm.  Margo pulls some strings and has the senior partner in the firm rescind the offer, to keep April in Monticello.  If Draper finds out about THAT, he'll be even angrier with Margo than he will be about the house trickery.  All of that is "bubbling under the surface" in the fall of 1979 but will be the next major story, as everything begins to spiral out of control.   Yep, you've got the Karrs and their very basic middle-class house, the Victorian-themed place where Miles and Nicole live, April and Draper's old craftsman house with the exposed beams, the Madisons & their Mission revival house, and Margo with her 1970s-chic penthouse.  Each of the sets is completely different.  And their budget was like zero, lol.  
    • It felt weird and out of place.  I get it. While I agree with those on here that say he's gotten better, it's still really bad. I'm not seeing the "good" acting some see...but I'll give him a B for being better than when he first started. There's potential. I'll leave it at that. 
    • It's like watching paint dry at a slow-ass pace. It's bad acting. Entirely. Excellent? With Claybon? Never. Ever.
