I know that Bo and Kayla were concerned for their spouses but both should have remembered their medical issues and allowed their other loved ones, such as Roman and Abe, to go to the rescue. Shawn and Chelsea sacrificed themselves for Bo and Kayla should have cared more about the safety of her unborn child. Since Kayla was the reason Ava got the gun and shot Hope, maybe she’ll stay behind next time; we all know that there will be a next time.

What happened to Michael is so sad. This proves that Sonny and Jason are in too deep to become completely legitimate. Sonny was trying to have an all coffee shipment without the presence of guards and poor Michael had to pay. If they chose to leave “the business”, Sonny and Jason would surely be killed out of fear that they may one day change their minds and their offspring would also be murdered out of fear that they would grow-up to want to take over &/or avenge the deaths of their loved ones.

Any & all “mobs” in real-life are dangerous but the Corinthos organization in reel-life isn’t. These people only do what the viewers see and hear that they do which for the reigning mob of Port Charles isn’t drug dealing, arms dealing, shake-downs of the locals, etcetera. They actually fight the bad guys in ways that the local police department hasn’t/can’t. If another crime family was to take over then they may not be as kind to the average citizens of Port Charles.

Carly deserves the support of everyone. Robin and Elizabeth can talk about the bad choices Carly made with Michael’s life but they aren’t any better. Robin didn’t walk away; Stone died on her and Jason cut her off after she lost his trust. Elizabeth would gladly underestimate the danger to her children when her hormones become frenzied for Jason. No parent is perfect. Carly did what she believed to have been best at the time.

It’s sad that Lulu was more worried about Johnny being blamed than she had support for her cousins. I liked the relationship that had developed between Carly and Lulu but now it is ruined and for low-life Johnny Zacchara. Lulu & Johnny are yet another couple for which I will gladly be utilizing the fast-forward feature.

Maxie wants a career in fashion but Lulu only wants to show up Maxie. Lulu should understand that if Maxie is happily busy then she won’t feel the need &/or have the time to mess with others. It is also true that Maxie has lost so much and deserves something that makes her happy.

It’s ridiculous that Nadine would want to compete with a ghost. The fact that Nikolas loves so deeply can be attractive but pining away for a ghost as opposed to a live & willing loving woman is a complete turn-off. I’m still hoping that Nikolas will have the operation and we will learn that the last two years or so have only been hallucinations due to his altered state. That way Georgie could still be alive, Lucky could be Jake’s father, Jason could still be with Sam, etc.

Could Tina be the one that is bank-rolling Nash and therefore instructed him to hire Sarah? I read in another blog entry that Andrea Evans is returning as Tina. I do hope that is true!

Ramsey certainly cannot be so stupid as to believe that the Antonio, Talia, & John drama is real. The performers are good actors but their characters aren’t. Is Ramsey hiding someone in the penthouse? Could it be Caitlin, Marty, or Mitch?

I hate that Starr is going through all of this. Todd is just terrible and needs to be sent to St. Anne’s. Blair should not be so co-dependant. The Manning children and Langston deserve so much better.

It’s sad for Gigi when Rex acts though he never loved her. I hope it comes out that he just couldn’t let it be known how much he really had cared for her because of Adriana’s insecurities. Shane deserves his father and I am noticing more chemistry between Rex and Gigi all the time.

Adriana, well now Dorian junior, has become an awful person. Layla appears to wonder what has happened to the old Adriana. Hopefully Layla and Gigi can become friends once Adriana is gone.


DWTS - In my opinion, Kristi Yamaguchi has given the best performances and is the most consistent celebrity dancer this show has ever had.

Why would Max sabotage Nick? Max is usually the good guy to a fault. Maybe he has been helping Nick instead. Max did run his own garage and should then know something about fuel. Max could be an unknown scientific genius and a possible partner for Nick.

Is this new doctor a possible love interest for Chelsea or Kate? I’d prefer Dr. Daniel Jonas to become involved with Chelsea over Kate. Chelsea needs someone to challenge her rather than lead him around like a puppy as she does Nick. Kate though needs someone she can lead around or she destroys them. Chelsea needs not to turn into her grandma Kate.

Could his middle name be Jonas? Perhaps He uses his first & middle name professionally because his surname is negatively recognized. It would make sense since his father is a long-time associate of Victor. Maybe Dr. Daniel Jonas is Ava’s brother.

Shawn & Belle have been written to be very uncaring. I know she has been selfish in the recent past but I thought he was better. Bo is barely out of the woods, John is still an active Dimera, and no one has heard from Brady. It’s ridiculous that Marlena was even suggested to be the most concerned about a missing Brady.

I understand full well about getting back upon the horse but an ocean voyage is the last thing Shawn & Belle should be doing with Claire. It wasn’t too long ago that they believed her to have been lost at seas. If the Bradys can forgive Belle then they should forgive Philip. Belle is a grown woman and thus responsible for her own choices.

Even if a brain injury patient completely recovers all of their memories, they would not remember the actual blow which rendered them unconscious. It takes time for each memory to form and if that process is interrupted then that memory not does form and therefore can never be recovered. I hope Logan has awakened as a new and much better man. Lulu could then be with him.

The writers did it yet once again and destroyed the prospective wonderful pairing of Lulu & Johnny. I can’t believe the writers don’t see what many of the viewers do. Maybe Johnny is either the child of Anthony & Claudia, Trevor & Claudia, or Trevor & Maria. He may then have a genetic abnormality but he could those still have one of those as Anthony’s son. Perhaps Dominica, Claudia’s mother, is the woman Michael stayed with when he ran away.

What is happening to Sonny? Why would he just allow Johnny to attack him and then walk away? I don’t want to see the fall of the Corinthos organization because the Zacchara’s are horrible. If the mob scene completely disappeared there wouldn’t be any show. The mob came to PC along with Luke Spencer and “saved the soaps”. I just don’t believe GH could survive in this day & age under regular soft soap storylines.

It makes sense that Sonny wouldn’t worry about Jax and know that Carly though was in good hands. However, Jax should not be upsetting Carly. He should have chosen a different time to yell at her in regards to Michael and threaten her with keeping their own child away from all of it and possibly her. Claudia didn’t upset Carly anymore than Jax already had. If conception is the only issue then Carly could try invitro.

Robin seems to finally understand why Carly & Jason lied about Michael’s paternity. They may not have been “right” but they felt they “had their reasons”. Robin’s worries about her own child feeling unwanted are well-founded because of her own early childhood. However, Robin couldn’t have kept Patrick from the baby once he/she is born. The baby was naturally conceived and Patrick never signed away his paternal rights.

Nikolas is a terrible father. He should have the operation. Spencer has already lost his mother. Nikolas saw how being without a mother and having an absentee father affected Lulu. It is time to let Emily rest in peace. I think we’ve seen more of her now that she’s dead than we did while the character was alive.

Lucky can easily suspend his police duties when it comes to Luke and Liz yet he felt compelled to turn Jason in for jumping bail when he rescued Jake from the kidnapper. Sam is better off without Lucky and Jason. I once thought Dr. Ian Devlin would have been a good one for her but he has been revealed to be just too creepy.

Ugghhh, Elizabeth is officially the most selfish character in the history of soaps. Sam has every right to want the truth about who hit her to come out. She isn’t “out for blood” to want justice. Even if Elizabeth didn’t actually hit Sam, she still shouldn’t have been driving and hid her suspicions; I feel sorry for the animal she may have hurt. Lucky would be the one to gain custody if Liz lost it because he is the father on record. Elizabeth certainly wasn’t worried about Jake’s true paternity coming out during all those visits with Jason.

Let’s see if Jason is as protective of Monica as he has been of Liz. He was willing to sell out Carly for her when he discovered Carly had been driving that night. I haven’t liked Jason since he and Liz began their “relationship”. Elizabeth has also changed for the worst. She should stay out of the coffee house, especially the back office, if she is really concerned for Jake’s safety. The most stupid of criminals should have Jake’s paternity figured out by now due to the raging hormones of his parents.

It’s terrible that Emily’s murder was a result of revenge against Jason. The Qs will never forgive him. Diego as the TMK was good for the surprise value but ridiculous for the common sense aspect. Perhaps the results of tests on that drug he had been taking on his liver will come back and suggest that it radically changes a person’s behavior and thus cannot be approved. Diego embraced the mob because he wanted to belong but he was not a killer.


OLTL –
Two of the Laurence brothers, Mitch & Walker, have issues with the Buchanans, Antonio, and Todd. We all know that dead isn’t always really dead on the soaps. Ramsey could be their pawn.

Todd needs to be committed to a mental institution; although some place more secure than St. Anne’s. He is out of control and others have to pay for it. Blair needs counseling for her co-dependency. She should stand up to him for abusing Starr and Cole & Marco, well their adult guardians, should press charges against him. Wanting to protect your child at all costs is understandable but losing touch with reality isn’t. If Dorian allows Todd to stay then she could lose guardianship of Langston because the environment isn’t stable and safe.

Starr has always been her father’s daughter so it isn’t any surprise that she would do something manipulative but I thought she had more of a heart than to play with Marcie’s already fragile emotions. I’m glad that she has too much of a conscience to continue. Starr has always been beyond her years in so many ways that we sometimes forget that she still has immaturity in her to do something like this. At least her behavior can then be more understood than the adult characters that behave this way.

It’s sad that Gigi has to hear that Rex dismissed their past relationship. I’d like for him to be Shane’s father but Gigi deserves a better love interest. John is a possibility but he can’t stop brooding over the love that never was with Marty. Maybe I could get behind a pairing between Rex and Gigi if it was taken very slowly. Adriana used to have manners; jealousy is unbecoming of her. I don’t like the new snobby version. It almost seems as if she was raised by Dorian.

Antonio was nice but stupid not to contest the case against his inheritance. He should have at least counter offered a settlement of just what was left so he wouldn’t have to add any of his personal money. Antonio was never involved in the Santi family dealings and therefore shouldn’t have to personally pay from his own accounts.


DWTS-
Week 1 – My opinions are that Mario is the best male performer and Kristi Yamaguchi is the best female.
