It's like all the K-Dramas or C-Dramas where the mother-in-law hates the daughter-in-law who's supposedly from a poor or less than privileged background, only to find out she's the long-lost chaebol daughter from an even richer family. 

Maybe someone in the writer's room watches them like I do (mostly the recaps on YouTube) and decided to do that with a male slant? All kidding aside, this is par for the course in soaps where someone you think you hate turns out to be the family you never knew you had. Haha.

Passions also did this with Ethan and Sam...probably some other soaps (Billy and Dylan on GL, maybe). I am blanking through fatigue.

You're speaking of something that did not even happen here & you are incorrect because there was nothing nonchalant about it. I have very rarely spoken of it but I made a reply about it where it did happen, recently. 

Yes, it was a terrible awful error. I had been told it had been announced. Not only Drake but my oldest, best friend died that week, she also a pancreatic cancer victim. The instant I learned it hadn't I deleted it & posted a sincere apology. At the time I was so upset.

I like Brook Kerr. I think she plays Portia exactly the way she's supposed to be. With that being said, GH has thrown Portia under the bus from day one. The woman has suffered and made bad decisions all through her tenure.

I think it's a writing vs. talent thing with Kerr.  I can see how some people view her line delivery as verging on bored sometimes.  I just don't think Portia/Brook has ever gotten a story that truly showcased her and her talents.  Most of the time she is apologizing for lying or making a mistake.

A-la Sonny shooting "Dominic", a.k.a. Dante... just, minus Dante shooting Gio.

I really don't get how this is Gio's fault or why Lois was there at all lol.  Is anyone going to find out Joss knew Danny was there and ignored it entirely?

Exactly! 

I really want her to turn the tables and outsmart Drew, but will GH have the gumption be that unpredictable for a change.

She was there to blurt out that line at end just to give more reason for Lulu to be annoying.

Because it wasn't posted here is the ONLY reason you can still post here. Numerous other examples were posted here, including, but not limited to, your insinuation of a romantic relationship between two actors on General Hospital, the medical condition of another actress from the same show, and the death of an actor from the same show (which you quickly deleted as it clearly wasn't verified, and still hasn't been), just to same a few.

You are the reason I implemented the edit button time limit in the first place as you've repeatedly posted something inappropriate (as noted in my previous post and above), got called out on it by other members, and quickly deleted or removed the offending post before @Toups or I even got a chance to see it.

As for Drake, I don't care who the hell told you about his medical condition. It wasn't YOUR right to say anything about it. In fact, your post on X/Twitter at the time wasn't worded in the manner in which you were responding to the news being publicly shared. You posted it to break the news. You even PM'd me and Toups, virtually threatening us with an alert that you planned to post it on the Community itself! The [!@#$%^&*]?!?!?!

Stop playing innocent or victim. You are neither.

Either post as you've been repeatedly asked to, or find some place else. I don't care.

Lois is there to [almost] drop the news of Gio's parentage. lmao. And plus, Rena is iconic and should be seen more!

Lois should be seen more.  Away from this story lol!  With a sexy love interest!

Based on script (and script alone), it feels like they're shifting Lois out of story altogether, unfortunately.

If that is the case then it truly was a waste of time as I have not ever, even once, deleted or removed such a post. 

The only thing I have ever done even remotely close to that was if I inadvertently posted in the wrong thread & marked it in the wrong spot with that phrase & then posted the content where it was meant to be.

I feel like the fallout is going to be bad for Lois and I don't want her to leave town.  I wish the show could find a place for her that worked better.

This is an email I received from the PM you sent to Toups and me, just two days before Drake died.

That's not something one says when they didn't know his medical condition wasn't already public. You may have quickly deleted the PM after I called you out on having the audacity to think it was appropriate to share at all, but an email lives on.

You clearly intended to break the news because you have no clue about what is appropriate and what is not. If you want to become a gossip columnist, as I've told you before, create your own site. I'm sick of the drama you manifest here.

My hope is that Lois leaves town for a few months after the Gio secret blows up and then returns with her own story and a love interest.

Further:

This is a post you made, and quickly deleted, that referenced the alleged (by you) death of an actress on General Hospital. Again, you are trying to break news, whether it's true or not.

That is nothing but immoral, disgusting and outrageous.

I do, too. In truth, I feel like every regime post-strike hasn't had a single clue how to handle Lois, and it's disappointing, because Rena's return to GH was such a blessed event I did not think I'd live to see happen in modern times.
