Nah the things I mentioned are things she has said. Both after she saw how the Qs fought to take Willows kids and Michael ending up a casualty of an attack on Sonny

Well, the reason I stated was also something she said. I don't really think it makes a lot of sense, but I think Michael's custody issue is the biggest reason at the moment just IMO.  

This Sasha & Jason story is such a bad retread and gross considering her age and involvement with Michael. They never should have had her so adamant about not wanting the child in the middle of Quatermaine drama and Sonny’s mob violence if this is where they were headed, it makes Sasha look like an idiot.

The age thing is not so much an issue for me as the rehashing history. 

Cody is the worst. I haven't seen a soap plot driven by misunderstanding like this in a while.

They're really dogging Cody after a year of major progress for the character. It's sad.

I just remembered. Did anyone buy into Nina's apologies to Carly? I know I didn't but was just wondering if they worked for anyone else. 

And, what kind of bug is up Marty's as*?

The age gap bothers me especially after they flashed back to Jason holding Michael as a baby. 🤢

I actually love the use of simple misunderstanding for a plot jump start with the right characters. Cody unfortunately already wasn’t working for me when they were using Tracy, James, Sasha and the rest of the Scorpio/Jones clan to prop him up as a hero, this hard turn toward being sanctimonious and self destructive is even worse. I really hope Josh Kelly’s contract is up soon and they ship the character off tbh.

Michael being Jason's first born, chosen family, I mean.

Very optimistic of you, thinking that Frank is gonna let anyone go. Why don't we have an emoji for cynicism?

It feels like the same thing that happened with Harmony/Lorraine (Inga Cadranel); redeem and then completely tear down.

Exactly. That's what makes the age gap weird.  Physically SM and SBu don't look that odd together, it's the history that makes it strange.  Honestly, the whole story is strange including everyone just taking Cody's word for it and basically the town just demanding Sasha tell them her private business.  I don't understand why anyone cares that much about who Sasha's baby daddy is.

You make a fine point. Really why does it matter? It doesn't. Cody is an idiot. Why, though is absolutely everyone taking his word for it? Even Tracy!!!

I believe his contract ends in May. Cody might exit at that point.

This will eventually lead to Jason and Sasha dating.

Yup.  It's the only outcome to this story that makes sense.  Otherwise, what's the point of Jason pretending to be her baby daddy?

The last thing this show needed was another damn baby.

Because, Port Charles is stuck in the 1930s.  (Now I know how LOVE OF LIFE fans felt when Jean Holloway was HW).

Not Danny confronting Cyrus in front of a third of the town!!! But...in character. I even thought the actor did a decent job. It felt like he was given notes and tried to get his emotions across and yet be restrained about it. 

 

Meanwhile, look at them changing it up on Gio's wardrobe. I felt like he's been in that hoodie for a good minute. Hello, buttoned-down shirt. You can add me to the group who like Emma/Gio/Trina/Kai as a little group. 

 

Le sigh. As much as I want Jason to be doing SOMETHING, this babydaddy story ain't it for me. I know the drama of it has been laid out on this thread, but I don't see the stakes to it outside of Michael coming back. Without him there, it's just a lead balloon. Drama for drama sake because the writers can't figure out what to do with the group of characters. That said...something could be said for how crazy Cody is coming across to Jason. Not so much Drew.

 

SHUT UP, KRISTINA.

 

Pretty meh outside of the coda at the end.
