You’re not alone, Rose. I noticed how little this baby was….which tells us it is a newborn. I could never consent to that. But, it is California weather and not every mother thinks as we do, Rose. This ‘birthing’ scene could never have been carried out outdoorsi if GH had, indeed, been filmed in NY state, northern or southern. But, God forbid we notice ‘little’ things like that? ….oh, let’s say, how did the blanket materialize? How come such delicate baby skin did not suffer frost bite in freezing northern weather?….( not northeast, but northwest, and definitely not the Midwest)…same… Read more »

I agree, Rose. Amazes me that parents let their babies be handled and exposed to who-knows-what…germs, props, etc. Yes I’m sure the utmost precautions are taken but I’d still be nervous. In the other hab

You would be surprised the lengths parents will go out here in LA to get their kid into show business. I would rather have them discovered as opposed to shoving them in a casting director’s face.

Great points Rose and Celia!

While I kept focus on how Sam was able to deliver with her pants on and how Jason cut the cord, I never thought about where that blanket came from.

While I appreciate the literary “Scout” reference to “To Kill a Mockingbird”, I doubt Sam or Jason ever read. It might be in the well-hidden memory of Jason Q, but definitely not Mr. Morgan. Scout should be the nickname for the baby named Emily Davis Morgan.

Oh, and agree Steve…Jason should have thought to name his little girl after Emily. I didn’t even think about it until you mentioned it but that would have been nice…

Steve /Rebecca1…Emily would have been perfect!

I mean nelle

@Steve.
Thanks, Steve….we do seem to think alike. I said exactly that….the pants part, and did Jason cut the cord.
And, yes, there is a lot of literary power in the name ‘Scout’. But, had I made that observstion, Inwould have been accused of showing off.

@Celia (and Steve) Perhaps the “Scout” moniker was a shoutout to Demi Moore (aka, GH’s former “Jackie Templeton….) I recall she and Bruce Willis chose that name for one of their daughters, too, and people were just as “mocking” (no “fictional” pun intended, CeeCeeGirl….) toward their choice…Of course, after they called their firstborn, “Rumer,”—-another literary gem—-they had a tough act to follow.

LOLOLOLOL!!!! Guess I was still thinking the word from mother/daughter regarding Robin and Anna. Too funny! Good catch!

Hmmmmm…it WOULD be a good twist though… 😉

Actually, I like that idea. Griffin was a daughter first….sex change? Great plotline. Too funny.
Faux pas happens to the best of us.

Hey CeeCee…Griffin being, LOL, their daughter and having had a sex change would be a first for GH. Haha…but, naaa…I’m thinking he was just born a beautiful boy.

Nathan is a hunk…mainly his seductive blue eyes….but, Griffin’s face is just perfect…..so perfect, in fact, that it looks painted by a masterful hand.
He doesn’t look real; if that makes any sense. Normally, soft features on a guy, do not appeal to me…but Matt’s looks are an enigma. Exquisite!!

I did notice Patrick being MIA…..for a long while, now. Hope he’s well.

Griffin is about to ‘donate’ his DNA to reproduce Duke?
How ‘funny’ would it be if this crazy idea of Olivia were scientifically possible, but Griffin is not really Duke’s son? Who would emerge?

Liv’s “Build-a-Duke” plan is a riot, I love it. Just watched today’s 3/7 show and when Griffin broke out of the straps, stepped around the corner to Liv and Anna, his poise and tone was just like Duke’s! I think this plot is finally picking up speed and will be a fun ride!

Thanks, Jimmy. Wasn’t sure about it. Well, that leaves the field open for an eventual Michael/Nell relationship.

Ok, thank you, Jimmy. Yet, I still do not see what monumental wrong-doing on Carly’s part, warranted such behavior from Nelle?
I think they should have come up with something mind-blowing. I still don’t know what she did?….because she left?
Perhaps, TPTB should invent something …gee, I don’t…this Benson person making moves on Carly? That could be the reason Carly left.

CeeCee…I think that Nell is bitter about giving up a kidney; she feels like Carly got everything…has the perfect life…and she was “put up for sale” at what she THINKS is because Carly demanded (bribed?) Nell’s father to take Nell’s kidney. I think Jax found out that Nell was connected to Carly and somehow (maybe) used that info…and a big fat check…to get the kidney. I think Jax knows who Nell is (in relation to Carly.)

One more thought…since Carly and Nell are not biological sisters…it’s just a coincidence that she was a match for Jocelyn? Thought it made more sense for them to be mother/daughter or biological sisters which would explain how Nell was a match.

Nothing from Carly or Nelle is not important to me .Jasam was,the story!!!

Some good points raised about Jax – he and Nelle exchanged some glances across the room as if they’d met up before. I’m sure we’ll find out Jax is the one who bought the kidney for Joslyn and he kept Carly in the dark about it. Is the story Nelle is giving now about poor papa her real beef? So far, the pieces don’t fit. Sonny and Carly will go their separate ways at least for a while due to his coverup of what didn’t happen. Perhaps Jax will pop in again and they will reconnect,… But, I am tired… Read more »

@Max Daddee. That’s why I am so confused, Max. I am not very familiar with Carly’s backstory. I know her mother Bobbi was a “lady of the night”. Is Carly a product of an unknown bio father? I think having Nelle and Carly share the same bio father would have sewn the holes Greg (below) mentioned , beautifully. The plot would have come alive. As Greg says, there are so many discrepancies to the Nelle story. A last minute grasping at straws, sort of forced the PTB’s hand to bring Michael and Nelle together romantically. A blood relationship with Carly… Read more »

Carly has another bio dad from a one night stand…Attoney John Durante, not Frank Benson. I had to hunt that up because I didn’t go back that far either. But her attitude sure started there.

Where is Patrick…hadnt read comments from him in some time!!!

@Rose. Thanks, Rose….that helps. So, to me, Nelle has no justification for her stupid actions ( or the lame actions of the writers). Obviously, there was no love lost, as far as Carly was concerned. This makes me believe that something about Frank Benson was not very palatable…unsavory?? I just want a deeper explanation as to Nelle’s drastic lengths. I could understand if she had been left alone and helpless as a very young girl. But, so far, there is no sound or sane reason for her to hold so much rancor for Carly. I think Nelle is probably a… Read more »

And, I doubt he would come back if it were for a character assasination plot that makes Jax the bad guy.

BTW, Carly’s bio-dad was established as John Durant, a law enforcement agent, played by Corbin Bernsen. John died in a shootout at Carly’s house.

They must be, Jimmy, because this story is just floating in air for me. Not satisfied!!

I also think that Nell’s father brainwashed her and twisted more facts than just the kidney “request”…I think he somehow painted Carly as having ruined his life…or hurt him (and Nell) in some way. It goes deeper… (I think.)

Carly could had pretended not to know who the donor was as an act so Sonny and the others wouldnt know she already knew Nelle was the donor,,,she could had pretended to befriend Nelle as an act to keep her close in case Nelle found out, unaware Nelle already knew what Carly had done,,,Carly could had payed Benson for Nelle’s kidney and denies it because she doesnt want anybody to know she is just as horrible as the man she had married-Sonny!!!

Saying that plot holes are allowed because “it’s just a soap” and they produce so many episodes a year is ridiculous. Henry Slesar used to plot intricate mysteries on THE EDGE OF NIGHT and Doug Marland would build years of story based on a show’s history that didn’t contradict what had come before. I don’t understand viewers’ acceptance of this lowering of the bar at a time when the soaps have dwindled to four and quality writing is more important than ever if they want to stay on the air.

@CeeCee….I think the GH writers need to watch “Call the Midwife!” Talk about realism…..

Those third tier writers just won a writers guild award !

I answered you, Shay. Nothing mean or rude, just a simple, short post. But, I do not see it. Thank you for your solicitousness. I fractured my patella skating. I think you hit the nail on the head. There are no clever revelations. The anticipation is there, but it dissipates when it takes so long for the plot to climax. We tend to lose interest. As you say, no excitement. However, Olivia Jerome’s return and ‘short’ story moved at a fair pace. I thought cutting Griffin in thinking thst Duke’s spirit would inhabit his body was a bit much. The… Read more »

OUCH, indeed!!!!, Shaybelle. Jude was there!! My sisters and I took the kids to the rink and I got carried aways with certain moves. Not as spry as I used to be. LOL. I have about two more weeks to go. Going nuts!! So many times, Shay, I wish I were around to have had the grest opportunity of watching those defunct soaps. You make them seem sooo glorious. Lucky you and everyone else to have those memories. As I said, I grew up watching soaps with Gran, but I started watching avidly, probably 15, 16 years ago, when I… Read more »

I meant to say, J was NOT there. Skating is not his thing.
Surgeons always worry about their hands. I’m not kidding!! LOL.

Also, I forgot to ask what the deal between Anna and Olivia is. Do they have lots of history together? Did Duke love Olivia once upon a time? Or, is this another recently concocted story?

Hey, those quads and triples will kill you everytime, CeeCeeGirl!…OUCH! And such a shame….skating is one of the great joys of the winter season…Once again, hope you heal quickly…How long do you expect for your recuperation???? By the copious nature of your postings, it would appear you are going a bit stir crazy??? No problem….I fondly recall we first “met” whilst you were recovering from your daughter’s birth and it was a rare and delightful opportunity to get to know you. At any rate, “Edge of Night” was a mystery-based soapy with a long history of fabulous writing and sophisticated… Read more »

P.S. That’s what you—and Dr. Jude—-get for trying to emulate “Torvill and Dean’s” legendary “Bolero” routine!

I don’t mind an outlandish plot as long as it’s well written. My problem is when it retcons a show’s history (ALL MY CHILDREN’s Erica’s aborted fetus showing up alive and well in Pine Valley is a prime example) or undercuts the emotional connection the viewers have with the characters (GH’s continuous back from the dead stories). I also like Julian but I don’t need a quick fix to absolve him of all guilt so that the show can reset his romance with Alexis. I’d much rather see a villainous character who retains his shades of gray while trying to… Read more »

Once again…I agree…and disagree. People DO care about Sonny, Julian, Alexis, Anna. Of course the fans, as always, are divided on which characters they care about and are rooting for, but, as we can see from today’s political climate, that happens in real life, too. Yes, people loved Luke and Laura. But they also loved Casey…and all the adventures Scorpio, Sean, Tiffany, Holly, Anna, etc went on. I LOVED that Olivia was brought back and I loved that they were able to incorporate the zany into making Julian innocent. They can’t do that in primetime…because…it’s ridiculous! But with GH, where… Read more »

I think Laura is great in playing Carly, but no matter who has played her over the years I have never warmed up to her and her attitude. Always wonder what Jason and Jax saw in her. On the other hand, as much as I like Jax, he is after all a corporate raider. Just a charming one. And it seems he is the one responsible for buying Nelle’s kidney. And the there is Sonny, AJ, and Michael triangle, and how that eventually played out over the years. Especially Michael’s decision to seemingly forget Sonny killed AJ, and then give… Read more »

Michael, if you recall, was understandably traumatized after he was assaulted in jail. But then, if you also recall, Abby came along and he eventually was able to have a relationship complete with physical intimacy. And then, nutthin’!

Chad Duell should get some backbone and fight for Michael’s…it’s absurd…and unnatural how they desexualized this character….

I love Michael and wish they’d give him a love/sex life…LOL….but I TOTALLY agree that he should not have forgiven Sonny killing AJ. At least, he shouldn’t have returned to the fold but instead stayed a Q. He never mentions AJ…nor does Monica. Sad. AJ always got stepped on, right to the tragic (unnecessary) end.

Boo & Rebecca

Michael Corinthos is dull as dishwater. Chad won his Emmy for Michael Quartermaine, who had a backbone and was the worthy heir of Edward.

It’s rather sad how AJ rarely is mentioned. We never saw Jason talk to Sonny about what happened. Meanwhile, “Justice for Duke”, “SaintlyMorgan” and even crazy Connie get more references. AJ, Sabrina and Silas are gone and mostly forgotten by their loved ones.

Yeah. What bothers me the most is how he refers to Sonny as ” my dad”. AJ has been completrly erased from memory and conversation….as if he has never existed. That’s the writers fault. Not even Monica brings him up. How does one not talk about her dead child? Someone mentioned how Duke’s, Connie’s etc. memory is kept alive, but not AJ’s ….or that Jason ( I assume the brothers grew up together, in the same household) never asks questions of Sonny or anyone , the circumstances of his death. Is that something that happened behind the scenes? It also… Read more »

He probably bit it off .You know what they say about desperate times!

@Violet.
HaHaHa…too funny!!!
