You and jimh are so intuitive, Fanny. I would love to see that imbroglio develop. Some plot twist, that. I like your phrase ‘Helena is still pulling the strings at some level.” Makes sense. Helena is omnipresent even without being visible. Besides, she is food for thought ….proof positive? We are still talking about her.

@CeeCee… Halloween is around the corner and I can see Helena
stirring her witches brew…..

Loving the idea that Jake may NOT be Jason. Frankly that’s the only way of surprising us after having the big reveal dragged out for SOOOOOO long!

@CeeCee… I think Anna really did see Carlos on the pier, it wasn’t her
guilty conscience or overly tired brain playing tricks on her… Carlos is
out for revenge..what better way to do that than make her think she’s
losing her grip on reality. And as for Sappy, will she tell Michael “their”
having a baby…since she believes Carlos is gone and can’t dispute
her “maybe” lie.

@Fanny.
Hi, dear lady.
I think you’re right. Anna is not hallucinating. That’s a terrible, heartless and cruel trick Carlos is playing; if true.
As far as Sabrina is concerned, Fanny. I can’t see her lying about something as momentous as that. I don’t think she has it in her. On the other hand, Fanny; I am very naive, at times….I always tend to give the benefit of the doubt. But, Sabrina has never been caught in a lie. I guess these are new writers, so they can twist, turn and bend her any way they please.

Hey, CeeCeeGirl….At this point, I do believe that Dr. O. is actually the sanest citizen of Port Charles, given how far the once-mighty have fallen—one by one—just like dominoes. In the meantime, Liesl has been on her best(?) behavior for quite awhile now….how I hope her devious doings resurface, and soon! (Perhaps for Halloween???? It’s her favorite holiday, after all!!!!) Oh, and on that subject, I was wondering what sort of adorable costume you’ve selected for Rosalba….she should be somewhat ready to partake of the fall festivities this year, right? Hope you don’t mind the question….it’s been some time since… Read more »

@Fanny….I meant “Dr. Westbourne!” Duh….

@Shay. Awwww, you’re so sweet, ShayGirl. I always feel I bore these good people on this board with stories about my kids…LOL. Rosalba is such a good baby. She’s a lot like Avery. As long as she has a ‘Graduate’ biscuit, or piece of crunchy Italian bread, in her hand, she’s the most happy, pacified little girl. In contrast, Nico has so much energy; he knows not when to stop. Lol. My Gran actually suggested a harness ( she was kidding, of course…lol). Rosie will be a ladybug for Halloween, and her brother, JAKKS, the Power Ranger. I will be… Read more »

It’s always my pleasure to hear about your children, CeeCeeGirl….that’s why I asked! Your Rosalba sounds like me with the bread….we always had that delicious Italian (and French) bakery staple on hand, and I snacked on countless slices, too!!!! Let her enjoy the carb-loading whilst she can…I barely touch the stuff anymore…I just feel better when I don’t do potatoes, pasta and other starchy stuff. Quite okay, I’ve had more than my share in this lifetime! At any rate, the costumes sound adorable….I love the Joan Jett idea! (My favorite of her tunes is “I Hate Myself For Loving You!”)… Read more »

@Shay. Hey, ShayShay, Yes, we will be doing the rounds with the kids …..nanny will give out candy while we’re out. Actually Jude and I will be using those same costumes for the Halloween party we and our friends take turn giving every year. And, yes, he will be performing as Elvis. I told you he’s a crooner , a clown, and a rocker…DOUBLE LOL. What I would like to see happening at GH for Halloween is having Dr. O come out of a creaking coffin, sloooowly opening, where the first thing we see is her decrepit ly painted hand… Read more »

Hey CeeCeeGirl! I’ll take Dr. O. in any form we can get….did you see her when she played the ingénue fraulein in full dirndl-and-braids mode a few Halloweens back? She was holing up at Wyndemere with Faison who portrayed Betelgeuse. Now THAT was fun! (Liesl wanted Britt go matchy-matchy, but Dr, Westbourne wasn’t having any of it.) Oh, that was a most memorable episode…or two! I can envision Obrecht as Vampira or Elvira…then again with that cleavage-revealing deeply-cut front dress featured in those costumes, I’m sure somebody else will call dibs on that outfit! LOL. As for your family holiday… Read more »

@CeeCeeGirl….Whilst you already know that I regard yet another Sappy pregnancy-of-convenience as totally unnecessary and insufferable, I am praying that this deceptive, social-climbing wench is carrying a Carrrrr-LOS!-issued bambino, and not a future Q. (That latter thought is simply too horrific for me to ponder…) Having said that, this latest twist also gives me hope that should that should SapsterSprog.2 be the “Real Reeee-verrr-rah,” she might eventually leave town……sooner rather than later, if I have my druthers!

@CeeCee..Morning Sweets,
Paul was well versed in what really happened to Carlos thanks to Sloan…
So he could easily manipulate this opportunity to his advantage which
he has….but to what end? that said, I think it was Sloan’s body that
conveniently floated to the surface not Carlos who may in fact be alive.

@Shay. Hey, ShayBabes. I am so on the fence about Sabrina. I can’t NOT like her. I actually feel badly for her, albeit I see what you are saying. I do not see the point of this character either. If the baby is Michael’s, then, I thought…well, okay….a Q baby would reawaken Michael and set him on the right path. Then again, if Michael is to remain enmeshed with the bandido de cafe’, and carry his name, what a life this kid will have. And, if it is Carlos’s, he/she will have the same fate. Such a vicious circle. I… Read more »

@Harry. Hi, Harry. On the mark, as usual, Harry. Moreover, every woman in the universe knows her own body……notices any changes in her body. What’s more, no one is that naive as to think that she could be sexually active, probably not using protection, and not get pregnant. Ya, right! What is insulting to me is that TPTB are really selling this? And, how stupid is Michael, as nancy d. inferred, who has been sharing her bed, and is well versed with her body, from head to toe, not notice her expanding belly? Oh, yeah, she just found out. So,… Read more »

@Nancy,
Like yourself I’m hoping the writers pen a worthy storyline for Laura.
Hopefully they haven’t forgotten about the mysterious parting envelope
from Luke.

Problem with Carlos being the baby daddy is Sabrina is out to here and only just realized she is pregnant. He allegedly died five months ago.
Sabrina is a nurse and she did not know she was pregnant all this time?
Is the really that stupid?
Never mind, ask a stupid question and all that jazz.
GH is beyond horrible right now. I don’t even want to talk about it.

Well said, Harry! As usual, you have displayed your uncanny knack to separate the wheat from the chaff. Sappy and her nonsensical pregnancy is most definitely the latter, although sadly, I am having a great deal of difficulty discerning exactly what there is currently available on GH that represents the former.

Hi, Nana.
I believe Dillon is supposedly closer to 30. I’m not well-versed in GH history, but, as you are aware, soaps will SORAS any character….eg, Will Horton was born before EJ DiMera, but EJ ended up being a couple of decades older than Will. So, I do not put that much stock in what these ‘wild and crazy guys’ (TPTB) do. Lol.

Wait… Susan was about 8-10 years old when Dillon was born on screen to Paul and Tracy. So Susan is supposed to have 10 years on Dillon. If Dillon is in the Lulu age bracket and Susan is in the Lucky/Nikolas age bracket, it still lines up that Hayden could be Susan.

Sorry, my bad! I was thinking of someone else.

CeeCee, hi ..
Michael is his father’s son.. (both AJ and Sonny are killers, bad guys)
Michael has killed and done prison time, he is not soft.
Michael grew up as a Crime Lord’s son, he is as he should be .
I like the improved Michael and now Chad will have some good stories and not just the junk he has been given to play..

AJ was a sperm father not a family father, Michel is Sonny’s, the Corinthos are his heritage his family.

I think Carrrrrrrrlos was in cahoots with Paul before Paul arrived and Carlos had a bullet proof vest on to set up Anna and to free Carlos to take out Sonny. This will come out and Anna with have her good reputation back.

That is exactly what makes me do a double-take, Aria. Why could Anna not just admit to shooting Carlos, at the time? Her word against that thug, as you so aptly call him.
I think Timmm’s theory makes the most sense; in that, Paul and Carlos were/are working in tandem So, since it may have been a set up from the onset, everything would have been futile.

Sappy….”becomes meaningless????” She has been since “Day One!”

@Shay… You go girl❗️❗️❗️❗️

Merci, Fanny! Always happy to oblige on this particular subject…..

Correction: AJ did NOT push Carly down the stairs. They were having an argument at the top of the stairs and Carly, in an attempt to villify AJ, threw herself down the stairs. I watched it when it originally aired and the scenes are on You Tube.

I knew as soon as I hit reply that I had forgotten what happened with Carly – it was a long time ago & I didn’t fact check. My point was that many stories have been dropped or changed ad that Michael’s bitter anger seemed a little over the top for his character.

Thanks for keeping me honest.

Woa! Su! I think she’s due late February….which makes her about five months along. I told you we can’t trust Google. If she were due in December, she’d be uuuge. Lol.

And it does stretch the view’s credulity to believe that “Michael,” who is sleeping with Sabrina, would not notice the obvious–how “very pregnant” she is. Why did TPTB wait so long to write the pregnancy in????

@nancy d.
Good question. Perhaps the pregnancy was initially not intended to be part of the storyline. It could be these writers decided to write it in as a last minute ‘attraction’. But, if not Michael’s, then why? Carlos is a secondary character, so Sabrina having his baby would be inconsequential, no? I can’t pick my brain anymore…

Cee Cee,

The reason I don’t think the pregnancy was written in at the last moment is because of how fast & all of a sudden Michael returned Avery to Sonny. His reason was ridiculous. GH probably didn’t want Michael dealing with & raising 2 infants at once so they wrote Avery to go back to Sonny. JMO

@Laurie.
Hey, Laurie….again, that makes a lot of sense. Two little ones for Sabrina?…..I suppose the writers did think ahead. Lol. Now, the war is between Sonny and Ava. Avery being the prize. Of course, the bosses will make up their own rules again, pertaining to legal custody. Carly marrying Sonny should not make a difference. Married or not, Carly has no rights to that baby. But, TPTB will argue that point in court. Again, it’s a matter of calling the kettle black…lol.

She was most likely wearing stilettos on the beach and stumbled over a ‘cucu’nut.

Hi, susu.
I know Sonny is your idol. Personally, I could care less what happens to him or his entire immediate family. I think GH would continue without him and company, as it did three decades before his/their ominous shadow made an appearance, without a hitch. I know I would not miss any of them.

Leave Sonny alone! Do you know the hell that man has been through? He still has to buy his suits from the boys’ department at Neiman Marcus!

@Harry.
HaHa. I hear they have really good quality suits at Neiman Marcus NYC for mini-me.

Helena was the original one trying to acquire ELQ. Just because. Nik took over & exiled her off the Cassadine Island. She’s probably fighting mad. She probably has escaped because she comes back from the dead after-bars won’t stop her from escaping. I expect Helena since the Jason reveal is next month. I’d rather it be anyone but her.

I thought maybe she’s a long-lost Quartermaine. BUT how is that connected to Rick? And if she were a cop or a Quartermaine, wouldn’t people have been concerned when she was in a coma? Did they not find her until after? That doesn’t make sense either.

@Lucy.
Lol, Lucy….how hopeless are we? Racking our brains out!!!
Well, Hayden could be a bastard-Q-child? Undercover? Two options: she’s either a goodie or a baddie….Double lol. If she’s working outside of the law; who is her partner in crime? I think Rick, or as a twist, Carlos. If she is a cop, maybe she’s working with Anna? How about Mac….wasn’t he a lawman, at one point? Yeah, I would love it to be one of the vets…such as Frisco. My mind is really galloping now, Lucy…later.

CeeCee,
Hayden knows Carlos. He broke into her & Jake’s MetroCourt Hotel room to shoot Duke I think. Guess he was going to set Jake up since he HATES Jake & they were at odds when Jake was working for Julian. Perhaps he gave her his # & said “from 1 crook to another-call me!” She’s mad at Jake now & decided to stick it to him and Nik at the same time. LOL

Hayden was briefly at Nurse’s Ball. She could’ve met someone before she got thrown out.

Hi, Laurie.
Yes, of course! I had forgotten about that! Carlos and Hayden did meet at that hotel room. But, I did mention on one of my posts, in jest, that she was partnering with Carlos. That would be something if it pans out that way.
Everything you say rings true…..makes sense to me. I just hope these writers have it all laid out and not make ‘things’ up as they go along.

The grass is a little greener at Genoa City but not much!

Scratch that!

Right? Eeewwww.

The days of Sam and Jason is over? You are so funny.

Well, susu, my friend….I have not found our Sam to have chemistry with anyone, as yet. What were Kelly and Steve like as a couple? I have to see Billy and Kelly make out; I mean, really make out…then, I will see if there’s any fire there. I didn’t see it with Michael Easton and I do not see it with Jason Thompson.

I love the Dick & Jane reference. That is so right on the mark

@Lucy.
Thanks, Lucy.
