Correction…parting, not pairing. Oh, what sweet sorrow!!

@CeeCee..hello Sweetness…
Leo looks like Carlos’s…Just saying.

Hi, Fanny, my love.
Right? Leo does look Hispanic….more like Sonny than Carlos. How is that possible? Olivia is fair to medium skinned and so is Julian. So, where does Leo get his coloring? He certainly does not look Italian. TPTB need to find another baby. Furthermore, Leo is supposed to be almost six months old. He does not look more than three months, at the most, to me. He should not even be wrapped in a blankie as a neonate any more. Any mother can say how a six-month old can pump his/her little legs energetically. This kid barely moves.
Oh, my, my….Fanny, I say….has Olivia been a naughty girl?

@CeeCee….Well, how else is Alexis going to provide a child for her much younger boyfriend? Not only is she too old to conceive, but probably even to adopt, and she sees Julian’s babylust as the writing on the wall! How I wish this latest plot twist would precipitate a pairing with Olivia. They make so much more sense as a couple, not just as Leo’s bio-parents, but as two highly-attractive, smoking hot individuals who are age-comparable. Perfect fit. Let the fireworks begin!

He looks as if he would be more like Dante and Valerie’s baby?

@Shay.
Well, Girl…tell me about it! Alexis is on a mission. Now, we are talking about a sane, intelligent woman who is head over heels in love with a mobster. She is definitely deluding herself if she thinks Julian has said bye-bye to a life of crime. Right. Sonny hides behind his ridiculous coffee importing company, or whatever-it-is. Julian hides behind what? His Art Gallery? Does Alexis think she will get extra ‘cuddles’ from Ju-Ju if she start a custody war?
I sound like a broken record, Shay, if I say so myself.
To add insult to injury, the writers are actually pushing Alexis to convince Julian to fight for custody of Leo. Now, I am not an attorney, but in what world would a judge take a baby from a perfectly good and capable mother and give him to Julian. Did Alexis and Carly have a tête-à-tête, giving each other pointers? This idiocy shouldn’t come up or be an issue. What will Alexis be alleging/contending? ….that Olivia went through great lengths to keep Leo from Julian? Any judge in his right mind would just give Olivia a slap on the wrist and a pat on the back, saying, “Golly good show”. Not real, not real, not real….I have to keep reminding myself, Shay, in order to keep my sanity. Imbecilic premise, that.
By the by, Shay….Fanny and I are questioning Leo’s ‘look’. He looks of mixed race to me. I ask how that is possible. LOL. Fanny thinks he looks like Carlos; I say he has Sonny’s coloring. I also said he looks like a neonate. The baby hasn’t aged much in almost six months. What say you? Later, bella.

@Timmm.
Yes, how right you are, Timmm. I couldn’t put my finger on it. TPTB certainly picked the wrong baby….but, as it often happens in soaps, there will be a brand new baby in a matter of weeks. Later.

@CeeCeeGirl….Oh yes, I concur with both Fanny and you on “Leo the Bambino”…..he almost looks as if he had a bit of a “topping off” of his tan on a beach in St. Tropez during his mama-imposed vacay away from Port Charles, as opposed to being stashed in, where was it…Bensonhurst??? LOL. Not sure what the showrunners were aiming for with with that particular casting choice of “neonate,” as you so aptly put it! Hmmmm….but on that same general topic, I recently opined that Sappy’s gonna have some splainin’ to do when her offspring likewise emerges upon delivery with an uncanny resemblance to its swarthy, hirsute pappy, Carrrrr-LOS! I added that The Sapster’s dubious paternity whopper will even have to surpass Britt’s supreme porky pie lie when she adamantly insisted that Asian lab dude extraordinaire Brad had sired her extremely pale, fair-haired son, BenRocco. I still roar with laughter when I recall how Dr. Westbourne proclaimed that one with a straight face! (Of course, I was moderated on that post….I am trying to state the notion a bit more delicately this time around in hopes that this one makes it online….) Having said that, I’ve always considered Alexis to be a total hypocrite, but this latest stunt of hers just proves it….she’s blowing the whistle on a mother who tried to protect her child in the exact same manner in which Ms. Davis did when Sonny Boy was her babydaddy, but since the non-custody of this little bundle of Jerome genes threatens her non-stop post-menopausal sexapalooza jolly with Julian, the ends justify the means! (Like I previously stated, how else could she obtain a baby for her much-younger lover?) It’s all really quite sick when you think about it….talk about a woman obsessed with her own physical gratification!!!!! Lastly, perhaps you see a likeness to Sonny in Leo because you actually have this secret thing for Mr. Corinthos???? You know, you really doth protest too much when it comes to your supposed disdain of the “Dimpled Don!!!” Okay, I’m just kidding, CeeCee, but I had to run that theory by you simply for the fun of it!!!! Haha!!! Later, belissima!

@Shay.
Hilarious, ShayGirl.
Hmmm. You got me thinking. Maybe, I do have a ‘thing’ for Sonny, ….ummm, subconsciously? Ha…NEVER! I suppose the “doth protest too much” is a legitimate statement, considering I talk about Sonny incessantly. I need to ponder this, Shay. Regardless, I could never be attracted to a man who thinks he’s too big for his britches. You know what I think? I think he should be given a mini role….very fitting, no? HaHa….Grazie per il complimento, bellissima te, cara.

Oooooooh! I am pleased as punch that my post to you made it this time around, CeeCee! (Thank you, Mr./Ms. Moderator!) Sometimes the witty thoughts just effortlessly flow like lava from a volcano and it is such a disappointment when they fail to be shared with like-minded souls—such as yourself! At any rate,I was most surely jesting you about Sonny….he is an utterly loathsome character and I know you have far better taste than that, CeeCeeGirl! It’s just that your ongoing antipathy for him is so very amusing that I simply wanted to get a rise out you regarding “Dimples!” LOL….Keep it coming with those well-worded barbs for the “Diminutive Don”….they definitely encompass your bailiwick for all things “Corinthos!” Per quanto riguarda il mio complimento? Prego, bella!

I agree, Leslie and Billy were phenomenal together. ONE scene! Why? Tony gets respect because he is a soap legend and the guy can act. Fluke turned out to be a bad story and Tony’s illness didnt help because the Fluke story drug so long but the black and white episode will be his reel and it will probably earn him another Emmy. Plus, he is retired and Hollywood likes to tip their hat. I dont miss Luke but I loved the character.

Yes, Lellingw.
There was a discussion, at length, I may add, what a far-reaching performance by both Leslie and Billy just in that one scene. But, the bosses are oblivious to anyone else; or so it seems. Why else are they resuscitating the “mobster” in Sonny? They should concentrate on cleaning him up…scrub the grease off his head and face before evil rises its ugly head again. Yuck!! If all that posturing and strutting, even from his wheelchair, was meant to impress us….that he’ DA MAN, did not work for me. I still liken him to a snake in the grass. Better yet, a wolf in sheep’s clothing. At least, a snake will attack without much fuss or pretense.
I sincerely hope Tony, as much as I admire his acting skill, does not get, yet, another Emmy. There are many waiting in the sidelines/periphery of all the splendor that is Tony. And, Sonny? He will not reign, King….or else! LOL.
Well, at least Tony’s would be well-deserved, if he does win. Golly Gee, even as Fluke, he outdid himself. Geary took that role and ran with it. That’s something to be admired, considering his health issues and the pain he must have endured. Anything to do with the spine causes tremendous pain. But, Sonny? Gimme a break PTB. I still cannot fathom how this guy is still forced upon the viewer as Vito Corleone, the mobster, and Rodolfo Valentino, the lover. Ratz!!!!

I didnt mention Dillon because he is a non-factor! The actor is okay. They didnt age him right. You cannot be a filmmaker and live in Port Charles. I laugh when the kids grow up in PC and “Go to College!” That means one of two things, they are either leaving the show or going to PCU which is never shown! Its a waste of time! You can be in the medical field, own a restaurant, be a cop or mobster, thats it! That story they have with his movie on the Haunted Star is horrible! It wastes the talents of Maxie and exposes the lack of talent of Dillon and Lulu!

Hi, susu.
Tell me, Girl…are you perchance, Mrs. Ron? You seem to know his mind so well. Let’s talk. Lol.

lol.. Lellingw
you are part of the ”audience” hmm you’re calling yourself ”stupid, shallow and of no importance” .. ahaa!

@su.
No Su. I’m pretty sure Lellingw means this is how TPTB see us, the audience…….stupid and shallow. In other words we are of no consequence until the ratings say otherwise.

Thanks, CeCe. Of course that is what I meant. The audience doesn’t mean anything until it hits their bottom line and even then only some of us count. Broadcast survives only because cable is so expensive. If the costs were lowered, broadcast would be out on its behind. Terrible model for television show creation.

I hear you, but on this board I’ve seen people judge new characters on just photo’s alone. You absolutely have the right to your inspection of her, but I don’t see it. If she sticks around long enough maybe she will grow on me, but for now, meh.

@Penny.
You know what I appreciate about people such as you, penny? The fact that we can discuss our opinions, whether we agree with each other or not, in a respectful and adult manner. Thank you.
You are right when you say she may possibly grow on those who are not into her right now. Hey, one never knows, she may surprise all of us. Lol.
