Sad but So-nny True!

Still a chance he is Nate’s poppa, and if he stays he probably has other blocks of wood(like Nate) somewhere-lol

Cee, I would think that Theo would be too young to play James’s father? As for Sonny, imagine if you lived in Port Charles, you would either loath him and his kids or kiss his ring. There is no middle ground. Middle ground people tend to be dismissed at times as being boring but a Middle ground personality tends to give you a chance. If I lived in PC I would go to the “Perks” coffee house, beat up Aaron, he is future trouble, whisk Kristina off to one of Sonny’s private islands, make love to her and she would forget she ever met Parker! Whoa! Sonny would find out and kill me and blame it on A.J.!

In addition to my above quote, I must say that it was actually Shay who first suggested Valentin was the worst Cassadine to whom Liesl was referring. Ergo, Nathan’s sire.
I remember Shay saying that other than Mikko ( who is dead) , it must be Valentin.
Nonetheless, I was sure that the mysterious ‘Theo’ could not be anyone else other than Valentin. Too many coincidences……The Greek island, Nik and Maura ending up there; The Magnificent Duo ( tracking/sniffing hounds extraordinaire) , Jason and Sam followed by half of PC etc.
I know, simple deduction. LOL.

@Timmm.
Hey, Timmmy.
Well, I think that if Julian can be Sam’s father; if Phyllis (Y&R) can be Daniel’s mother; if Hope can be Claire’s grandmother (DOOL), Valentin can be Nathan’s father….more years separating them than the people I mentioned. Yes?
As far as Aaron? Well, I was so excited, Timmm, when I heard he was joining the cast….I always root for any Italian, LOL.
But, boy, was I disillusioned!!!! I said this to you before. There’s something icky about him….scuzzy, oily personality ( I do not mean his person). He is just too sweet; too nice.
So, I agree. He is trouble.

So could Roxy The Lizard-lol

Did you know, my Timmmy, that ‘Sonny’ was Al Capone’s moniker? I do not see the link. HaHa!!
The typical representation seen in Sonny is a mafioso. However, one needs to be authentically siciliano or calabrese. Poor Sonny looks so misplaced.
Also, Sonny was sporting the typical ‘cosa nostra’ pinky ring. Is this something new? I don’t think I have ever noticed it before. Did he always wear it?
All he needs is a cigar and a skinny mustache that curls at the ends ( I think: French style?).
They are both wimps. Remember Julian overpowered Alexis….as he knew he would.
Stupid men, both of them. Muscle does not a man make. Using force only proves their cowardice.
I know I bore many of you with my quotes….but, here’s another….can’t resist. I think I have known Shakespeare in another life. I am madly ‘in love’ with him….
“Cowards die many times before their deaths;
The Valiant never taste death but once”. JULIUS CAESAR.

Thanks…I actually think the island could use a few more hostages (not sure if you were a viewer when Jerry Jax was introduced years ago) but I guess budget cuts slice everything. I’m still trying to remember Laura’s five hundred instructional guide

Ahhhhh!!!! Instructional word guide on how to make the grand escape! Ayiyi…

Hey, Jimmy.
How much do you want to bet that Sonny will also save Finn’s life?
Why else would TPTB share a scene with us where Finn confides in Sonny? Hmmmmm. Another heroic success in the works….. wonders never cease. And, Sonny is a big, small wonder. Pardon the oxymoron.

He really doesnt put the fear in me but I guess your right, you sweeties ALWAYS fall for the bad guys!

@Timmm.
HaHa, Timmmy boy; it all depends on the baddie…..certainly not Sonny.

You and me both Soaphound!

My bad !!!! I didn’t want to appear greedy.

@Lou.
Love your repartees, Lou. You never miss a beat.
But, yeah. I am ready for a ‘classic’ villain. If not Helena, then Valentin will do….Sick of the run-of-the-mill, pedestrian baddies that are Julian and Sonny…
I just hope this will not be a repetition of a repetition of a repetition.
We shall see. But, other than welcoming and seeing James on stage, I was not impressed with the ‘acrobatics’.

Nina and Curtis? Yeah, I could go for that! Michelle Stafford is simply amazing. Give her a stronger storyline! Mr. Valentini, are you listening??
P.S. Watching Double Jeopardy at the moment. Ms. Stafford looks borderline scuzzy in this movie. Age has only made this woman look more and more beautiful.

@Jason.
I agree, Jason. I said the same thing days ago. Michelle gets more beautiful with time. Sadly, there are many who abhor this gorgeous butterfly….they actually ridicule her.
When she puts her sexy on….well, she’s incomparable.
Sex scenes mostly bore me to death. But, all I can say is when Michelle’s Phyllis ( Y&R ) danced her dance with ‘Ronan’, my eyes could not look away.

Guilty as charged….and proudly so…..CeeCeeGirl!!!! We’ll never see eye-to-eye on your MS superfandom/admiration(expialidocious…) but hey, I think we can survive our difference of opinion! As for Valentin’s not-so-surprise appearance? Seems like it took forever to finally reach fruition, but now his unveiling is fast-tracked in record time? A bit of a build-up to this rapscallion’s revelations wouldn’t have gone amiss….I was hoping the storied miscreant of all miscreants would have languished in plain sight under a false identity for at least a substantial while in order to exact his evil revengenda…..until Liesl blew the whistle on him!!!! This way was just sooooo….anti-climactic!

@Shay.
You bet, Shaybelle. We do disagree as to Michelle’s talent and simpatia; well, in your case, lackthereof. DOUBLE LOL. That’s why we get along so well. We accept and respect each other’s opinion/ reaction to characters/ storylines etc. It’s what makes the world go ’round.
I do agree with your entire premise where Valentin is concerned. The thrill was spent as soon as the mask came off.
We are of a mind, Shay……it would have behooved the writers to have created suspense. Sloooowly leading to ‘the discovery’ of the man behind ‘Theo’.
You are too kind calling Valentin a rapscallion/miscreant……excecrable, fits him to the letter. ….he is Helena reincarnate. Are we sure he is not her son? LOL. Was Mikko as bad as his wife?
I expected Valentin to take Sam to the railroad tracks, bonds in hand; waiting for THE train to Hades.
Yes, the evil revengenda ( how witty and hilarious are you? Only you can spin a word so meaningfully…just love it) We missed the chance to have been grabbed by the throat and having gone through ‘hoops and loops’; tongue in cheek suspense. The prelude did not herald a “took my breath away” plot. The outcome killed the overture.
As you say, no build up….killed the mystery too soon. We do not get to see the shock on Liesl face? Willl that still happen…..only if we assume Valentine is, indeed, Nathan’s genitor.
Nonetheless, I’ll wait and see how this will all unfold. I do not want to see Jadon’s heroics…I am soooo done with that….and Sam sighing in that husky unintelligible whisper, ” Jason, he’s taking me to the railroad tracks; eek; he’s gonna tie me up; and, I’ll hear the train’s whistle blooow”.
I am hoping that the writers have a good reason and an ace up their sleeve for hurrying this along. Even so, I do believe my expectations were too great ( sorry, Dickie).

Indeed, CeeCee,…INDEED! So, you ask me if Mikkos rated as evil as Helena? That would be rather like comparing apples and oranges because they are so vastly different in the manner they’ve been presented…LOL. Check out the one and only man to inhabit that role, the late character actor, John Colicos. As you will see, he was no chick magnet on the outside…really almost comical in his appearance and megalomaniacal approach as the Cassadine patriarch….more of a cartoonesque Onassis/Soros-like figure than a Greek God, that’s for sure! Hence it was quite obvious his power and wealth served as the aphrodisiac to attract so many of those apparent lovers, including, his legend of a wife! Yet, I still find it hard to reconcile today’s version of said dragon lady with being his still-devoted spouse. You must remember, our initial view of Helena came after the death of Mikkos as an equally, over-the-top vengeful loony—then played by the somewhat faded and matronly drama queen, Elizabeth Taylor—when she crashed Luke and Laura’s wedding, so they seemed like a perfectly well-matched couple in a number of ways, not the very least of which was a darkly insane temperament. Not so much with the cool, classy and refined Constance Tower’s version of this fabled villainess….I can only envision her waxing so romantically over a tall, dark and handsome gentleman like her own real-life spouse, John Gavin. To think such a beautiful, sophisticated and intelligent woman would be pining for the toad-like Mikkos over thirty years following his demise is truly stretching it! But the talented Miss Towers has pulled off that amazing feat….however, I would say that her Helena has a much more organized and business-like approach to her lunacy….a method to her madness, so to speak! (And I’m still anxiously awaiting her great return….I refuse to believe this larger-than-life virago has been permanently vanquished from this earth!) Furthermore, do I believe there is any possibility that Valentin sprang from her womb? Anything can happen on Cassadine Island, but I rather hope not, or Helena shall not only be Mommy Dearest, but “Grandmommy Dearest” to Nathan! And it does sound very much like Valentin has suffered his fate as an outcast Cassadine due to his lowly, illegitimate birth….a typically historical royal situation and prime fuel for his grand resentment of his father and his family. I suspect his mother’s identity will be somewhat less illustrious….perhaps a servant girl or even a prostitute??? LOL. Oh, speaking of his “revengenda” plans? You are so right, CeeCeeGirl, that is a fabulous term, but alas, I cannot take credit for it….it was first uttered by Gabriel Mann’s adorable Nolan Ross on “Revenge.” Definitely made so much an impression on me that it stuck in my mind….yet, I can only wish I’d thought of it! But thank you for the compliment, just the same….I do so love a clever turn of phrase or cheeky play on words!…Having said that, there are my Helena thoughts in a nutshell…..now I best be… Read more »
