@ Charday, I doubt the show will recast the role of Ned.

What I meant is that Michael simply is not ready to run ELQ, like some
Lone Ranger,without the benefit of Tracy’s WISDOM and knowledge
backing him up and while we’re at it through Dillon in the mix. Now
that starts to make sense. However HORRIBLE some of Michael ‘s
past has been and it Has, Sonny and Carly have ALWAYS loved &
adored him.

@Shay
Whatever possessed Michael to HIRE not one but two former nurses to help
him out… One of them is bound to have a script pad laying around, watch UR back.
Questionable judgment indeed, he’s the one who is in dire need of Parental
GUIDANCE. The courts ruling was RIDICULOUS giving him custody of Avery
when she has a maternal grandmother perfectly capable of raising her.
He’s needs to stop juggling all these things at once, caring for Avery as if he’s
her sole living relative, Commencing a relationship with sappy Sabriiiiina
WHY now & WHY her there’s no magic,no spark… finally saving ELQ.
Boy does he need HELP.

Anyone but VAL-chops!!!!!

@Shay…That would have been brilliant on their part, casting JMB as Val,
It would have been a match made in heaven. Obviously the writers don’t
READ these posts RC & FV should reconsider that oversight. It could
potentially increase their VIEWERSHIP!!!

Fanny…Once again..Disagree.

Dillon, if they keep him true to character…has ZERO experience and ZERO interest in running ELQ.

Regarding Michael, Carly and Sonny…doesn’t mater how much they loved him. They STOLE him from AJ…they BRUTALIZED the man. They poisoned Michael against him. The point is…though he was raised in love, and I don’t deny that he was…he was lied to his whole life. He was kept from AJ who was his biological father…who WANTED a relationship with him.

Michael, as Sonny’s son, had to kill to protect his mother and sister, was shot and put in a coma, and went to jail and was raped. I’d say he has enough knowledge, wisdom and experience to realize Sonny’s home is not the ideal place for his baby sister. Nor, for that matter, is Ava’s. As much as I love Maura West…and Ava…she, too, is a murderer and involved in a life of crime.

Maternal grandmother? LOVE Delia. She’s a nut! She works in a bar. She’s a single woman. Best place for AJ/Avery? No.

Michael? He’s a young, healthy man. He’s wealthy…has the means to provide for her. A good, safe home. The Qs might have their “ways”…but it’s still a much healthier environment than any of the other choices.

Nurses? I’d say that was a wise choice in hiring…not a poor one. Sabrina is an excellent nurse…a very moral, maternal figure. Rosalie? At this point Michael has no idea she’s duplicitous.

I’m in Michael’s corner. All they way… That said, I look forward to the return of Dillon. And while I loved Scott Clifton…this actor might bring an edgier vibe to the role. All in all, great that they’re (hopefully) trying to rebuild the Qs in some way.

@ Rebecca
With all due respect… AJ had never sprouted wings on my watch, far from
being angelic. Sonny,Carly,Monica,Alan,Jason,Edward….none of them were
responsible for him picking up a drink or ten, he became a raging, jealous
angry alcoholic all on his own. All that self hate spilled over dragging
JASON along with him… And all Jason wanted was to help AJ,whom he loved.
How about his connection/partnership w/ Faith Roscoe together they were evil
Incarnate. Given..Carly & Sonny were hellish towards him but AJ wasn’t a day
at the beach either. I’ve always really liked Michael he’s decent, fair and good.
I certainly don’t expect him to forgive everything that’s happened, but perhaps
entertain the possibility that his parents did what they did, as misguided as it
was…because they love him. Sabrina and Michael will be short lived..she won’t
hold his interest for very long, he’ll out grow her. I still believe Morgan will end
up being Avery’s dad solving that problem. As far as ELQ is concerned let’s
not rule Tracy & Son out completely, Luke is leaving town after all she’ll need
to occupy her time constructively.

@Fanny….You bring up many excellent points! Although I was a huge fan of Sean Kanan’s AJ, you correctly pegged him as no angel….when he returned the final time to the GH canvas, I had hoped that his myriad demons and bad behavior were truly a part of the past. He had a fresh start in Port Charles, and I was most encouraged with it, but alas, the writers had other ideas for the hapless Quartermaine heir and it was back to square one with the boozing and bumbling….I was disappointed and outraged when the character was once again killed off (this time for good?….) but it is what it is….SK has moved on to better things, and so must those of us who had wished more for AJ. To see his petulant punk of a son carry on this childish vendetta against his parents, and especially using an innocent child to whom he has no blood ties to make his point is beyond pathetic. Mikey acts like he is taking the moral high ground, but his antics demonstrate nothing of the sort…he’s totally out of his league trying to play at the high-powered corporate level, and his silly schoolboy interest in Sappy—a failure of a nurse turned nanny-servant in his employ, no less—just goes to show what an immature young man he actually is. Nothing about his life is at all realistic, and he needs to be put in his place…first by his Q elders, as they wrest back control of their family firm, then by Avery’s true kin, when they reclaim the infant that he has no real right to be harboring. I am hoping you are correct in your theory that Morgan is indeed the authentic bio-dad of Ava’s daughter. When that possibility was first posited, the younger Corinthos was a willing prospective father, and along with Kiki, he cared for their little “sister” in a most loving and responsible fashion after she was rescued from the evil clutches of Nina…it wasn’t until Sonny stepped in to assume custody that all this musical baby bassinets nonsense began. It needs to stop….whether at the hands of “Denise,” or via some other surprise plot development….it matters none to me, as long as that little crumpet is permanently removed from ChezQuartermaine and the incapable and inappropriate care of Sappy and Mikey. (And speaking of Morgan, I was so hoping that he would have knocked his brother’s block off in that boxing ring today…..it’s about time he regains some dominance in their sibling rivalry. Soon, very soon, one hopes!) As for Tracy and son, I foresee them joining forces to restore the luster to the faded family’s fortunes….as you so correctly state, once Luke has departed, this former business dynamo will have plenty of energy to devote to her first real love….ELQ!

@Shay… I meant Here! Here!
I also enjoyed Billy Warlocks AJ, big personality,good actor.
Little crumpet (that’s so sweeeeet).Love the way “Denise”
made Julian understand he didn’t step up, when it came to
keeping Avery in the family. Basically that should have been
his first priority, announcing it wasn’t going to continue on her
“Watch” gave her away. Just in case we didn’t already know it
by how she kept longingly looking in KiKi’s direction every now
& again. The 15 second June preview looks like fun…

Well…there’s no “here, here” here! Wholeheartedly disagree with the assessments…for those few who have dubbed Sabrina “Sappy” there will be no clear sight. She, for those who enjoy or at least understand the psyche of the character…is portrayed as moral, competent, intelligent and compassionate. For anyone who saw her as otherwise simply didn’t/doesn’t understand the character. One might not like the actress; I do. However, that aside…Sabrina never had ill intentions, she loved with an open heart, gave love to Patrick, was maternal with Emma and suffered great loss…from Patrick to her baby. Still, after an emotional breakdown, she has come back stronger, just as kind and protective of those she loves…and I think she’s a great nanny to lil AJ…and would be a great maternal figure as well.

Once again, Sabrina, described above as “a failure of a nurse turned nanny-servant in his employ” couldn’t be more off base. Sabrina was/is an excellent nurse. She’s knowledgable and compassionate. Unfortunately, life’s circumstances overwhelmed her and she lost her job. Doesn’t make her less capable.

Michael does not have a “childish vandetta” against his parents. He has a very valid reason to turn against them; I think most people who found out they’d been lied to their entire life, whose father was badgered, battered and finally killed by his adoptive father…and his mother not only kept the secret but put down his dead father at every turn…has a tad of a reason to be ticked off. And I say that with full sarcasm…he has EVERY reason.

As for Michael not being related to Avery/AJ…I think that’s an insult to anyone adopted. He’s her big brother. Period.

Instead of seeing Michael as weak or immature, I think he’s portrayed as a remarkable guy who’s been put through a lot of trauma in his life…and yet has maintained his morality, his loving, kind nature…and is finally becoming a man in his own right by asserting his independence from Sonny and Carly, trying to give the Qs…a family he was taken from a chance…and trying earnestly to learn all he can about running a company. Let’s not forget before Wally Kurth/Ned was given a contract…he was assisting Michael along the way.

Michael’s great. I hope they evolve his character to be a strong, good man…and perhaps find his way back to Jason. As for Sabrina…I’m not sure of her future on the show. But I’ll always think of this character as one of the “good guys.” LOL…IF she stays, I hope they evolve her, too. The show needs balance. They need to find her some girlfriends, a strong relationship…but keep her in the same realm as Lila, Laura, Emily…she was written as such.
