Back in 1984, Laura and Luke announced to Robert and Holly, who were married to each other at the time, that they were expecting a child.
Holly of course knew Luke was pregnant.
This revision of history was started by Bob Guza who had Luke cheat on Laura with Holly and is being further revised by Ron C. At the time Ethan was conceived, Luke was head over heels in love with Laura–the sun rose and set in her eyes for him.
I think Emma Samms is trying to be helpful–by all accounts she is a lovely person. But there is no way she re wrote those lines. Moreover, she says she and Tony agreed to rewrite the lines together because they could not remember their characters’ history. But the lines in question were said by Holly to Laura, not to Laura.
I think she is just trying to make herself the fall guy. I don’t blame her one bit.

Ahem. Of course everyone knows I meant to write that Laura was pregnant, not Luke.
I mean, I know Luke was a ground breaking character an all, but don’t think he played the first male antihero who becomes impregnated.

I hate myself for predicting Vante…Dante better keep his sword away from Val…one bite with that mouth and she’ll Valchop it into tiny toothpicks which it probably is already…lol

Yeah, jimh. I already warned Dante, about those choppers, a few posts ago.
You are a naughty boy…LOL

Well,
It is Dante and Lulu’s turn for the break-up..
All couples must have their break up it is inevitable..
It surprising they went as long as did lol

I can do without Valerie.. It’s petty but, I don’t find her pleasing to look at .. lol

I like Dillon but not with Lulu..
I’d prefer him mixed in with Hayden and Nikolas..

And YOU are a naughty girl, CeeCee, although I truly appreciated your clever twist on that famous quote! However, while the sword may not prove so mighty in this case, I do share jimh’s—and your—-concerns about them “Val-Choppers!” Dante could be getting MUCH more than he bargained for with his kissin’ cousin-in-law…..especially if this too-willing chippy turns out to be of psycho-stalker breed. Oh my!!!! Having said that, this contrived little moral dilemma that Dante is about to step into big time is a truly unnecessary distraction from the marquee moments we are awaiting with Luke and Laura. I’m not liking it one bit…..the least Sonny’s boy could do is resist until fall….whatever happened to extended pent-up sexual tension as part of a good storyline? Now everything has to be right here, right now!!!! And speaking of, today’s episode was totally ruined with the interspersing of Mikey and Sappy’s nauseating, giddy afterglow activities…..not to mention that the gold-digging git has now glued herself to the hip of the clueless Q…..wherever he goes, she will, too….just like with Patrick. How unoriginal!

Ha ha, Cee Cee.
Val Chops was almost dry humping Dante the other day in the police station. She makes my neighbor’s horny, yellow, uncut male Labrador look pristine by comparison.
Now Dante seems to have inherited his father’s brains which is not a good thing. Remember when Sonny was sure that AJ had killed Connie despite all the evidence to the contrary? He ignored all the signs, but mostly he demonstrated he had poor instincts. Dante knows Lulu better than anyone and he knows she would not cheat on him when there was nothing leading up to it. Again, Dante is demonstrating that he either has horrible instincts or that he is ignoring his instincts which would be telling him that he doesn’t have the whole picture. I think he’s ignoring his instincts because he really wants to have sex with that woman just as Sonny really wanted to kill AJ.
Moreover, he finds Lulu’s long sleeved pajamas on the bed? If Lulu were having some torrid affair with Dylan, would there not be some lace Teddy on the bed.
Dante should know something is up other than this you-know-what.

I agree w/Angela,Harry & CeeCee, Dante should know better. Wait until he finds out the truth, he is going to feel sooooooo guilty and wrong. Don’t mention Maxie finding out [o’ my God]. Changing the subject a bit, does anybody think Sean Donnelly might be who kidnapped the “sons”?

@Virginia.
Hi, Virginia.
I wish I knew who Sean Donnelly was, LOL. Someone else will be better informed than I, since I am a newbie. The only thing that crossed my mind by the shock on everyone’s face is that the mystery kidnapper is the last person Luke, Laura, Holly and the rest expected to see. A friend? How about Lucky himself?
Has this been all a hoax? Oh, well….what do I know? Right?

Virginia…yes! I was going to suggest spSean Donnelly. If I remember correctly Luke wasn’t able to get him the antedote for his uranium poisoning, did he? Perhaps it’s some revenge…or he needs some of Luke’s blood? Although..not even sure if he didn’t receive the antedote…but if not he’d be dead already.

Always loved Sean…Tiffany, Robert, Holly days…would be great to have him back in any capacity.

The ” mob” is all talk no action in Port Charles these past few months. Sonny, or Julian, for that matter, don’t seem to have any enemies but for each other. Now, Julian is supposedly out…once again. Years back, there used to be other crime families, meetings…we had the really sexy Alcazar, Jerry…criminal, not mob. Now? Not too much…

Roger Howarth… had me laughing out loud

wasn’t he the best… when he and Denise started kissing

with onlookers… Nina, Morgan, Carly, ….

the KISSing stops , franco lets loose

LOL

he turns… camera pans

his mouth is covered in slopped up lipstick and he’s chewing her gum New Jersey style

LOL

CLASSIC

Roger Howarth is a blast-loved when Franco mimicked Denise and her New York accent-and how they were all over each other at the Metro Court-the red lipstick all over Franco’s cheeks. So funny (and cheap). Maura and Roger are hysterical.
I agree with Tony on nuKiki-ugh. As much as I could not stand Kristen Alderson as Starr or Kiki-I can’t stand nuKiki either. The character is just plain dumb and serves no purpose to the canvas. Nina-the way that Michelle Stafford (who I think is very talented) portrays her is like that of a little girl-very immature. Nina’s best scenes are with Franco, IMO.

Gee, Shay. I wish I could contribute something crucially important in solving this mystery. Alas, I have nothing! No backstory to BACK me up? LOL. However I, also, agree with the ‘pasted together’ concept. I am tired of Denise, I am tired of Sonny getting away with murder, once again. I am particularly seething over the fact that Michael gave up custody of Avery because of a word from the wise, Sabrina? I like her , but too much credit has been given to one who is practically a stranger and not part of the family. Leave it up to a guy to follow the lead of the skirt he’s chasing and sniffing. LOL. Sorry, gentlemen.
My mother-in-law is also seething, in her own little way. LOL. She cannot fathom how Carlivati and Valentini, both with Italian names dare confuse Italian with Spanish. Firstly, yesterday Tracy called Denise señorita DiMuccio. Then, today, in print, we saw Mucho DiMuccio. Italians are very ‘fussy’ about their culture and language….so melodic when Florentine (closest to Italian proper) is spoken.
Señorita and mucho are both Spanish words.
Signorina and molto, respectively, are Italian words.
La signora says Carlivati and Valentini should know better…LOL

I would also like to point out that I wanted to hug Sam today, and, kiss her feet. Her reaction to Nik is what I want to see from her more often. Didn’t know she had it in her. Wow…impressive!!! Good girl, Sam. Give me more.!!!!

Ohhh!! That was really rich. Sonny calling Franco a freak? He does not trust Denise? I could understand those words coming out of Michael; not, slimy Sonny. “Something’s rotten in the state of Denmark” Willy S. Later, Girl.

I love the idea of it being Sly, Shay.
I have a weird feeling (is there any other kind?) that Jackie Templeton will be making an appearance.

@Harry….That would make it interesting, eh? I’m just hoping the big reveal of the culprit’s identity is a real shocker…it’s about time Cartini did something truly surprising. If not now, I ask you, when???? (Oh, how about Janine Turner as “The Other Laura?” I’d love to see BOTH Templetons!) Orrr, if the show runners really want to spring someone unexpected on us, “Blackie”—NOT “Whitey”–Parrish would certainly not go amiss in that category. However, something tells me that shall not be happening…LOL. (But perhaps sometime he could be driving through Port Chuck and make an unplanned detour to the PCPD for suspected DUI? Just a thought….John Stamos does have a wicked sense of humor!)

Hiyaa, Shay,
I hope your festivities went well, also. I love this country of ours. I visited many places, Shay….no other country even comes close.
No, Jude and I never went to school together…he was ALWAYS ahead of me. Four years….His parents also have a home on MV….he and my brothers were and still are friends. My husband did not really like me, as a kid……Teased me a lot, just as my brothers did. He sang a different song as I grew….LOL.
I went to boarding school in Connecticut. He in Massachusetts . But, we both attended University in Boston….including medical school, for him.
The Hartford area has the most prep schools in the Northeast, probably the country. Actually Katherine Hepburn went to Kingswood-Oxford , and Jackie O (Kennedy) went to Miss Porter’s. …West Hartford and Farmington, respectively. But, the school which housed some of the most notable people/personalities (such as John F. Kennedy) in the country, is Choate Rosemary Hall….Go, Wild Boars!!!!!

Anyway, I was actually shocked that none of the Cassadine gang appeared to bid Luke ‘fare-thee-well. Shocked also, am I, that no one was resurrected. LOL.
Shatner? Imagine that! It would have really been an episode to remember, Shay.
It broke my heart to see Valerie and Dante go at it. Why, oh, why did the writers go there?
I wish I were as nonchalant as Su. She knew….but, accepts the fact because it is, after-all, a soap. To Su, this is good soap drama. Perhaps, it is. I don’t want to underestimate what Su predicts because more oft than not she is right. I have said this so many times, I really must be getting on everyone’s nerves.
She likes the turmoil; the dark side of the characters; ….so, we cannot castigate, negate or condemn what she opines and feels. Sometimes I agree, sometimes, I do not. I truly like Su, so I pretty much tolerate much. I find that Su is easy-going. She takes all the less than praise-worthy responses to her with a grain of salt, and with grace. She is never rude. I respect that.
When I disagree with some of her “stuff”, I call her on it. She answers me politely.
As far as other sites? I was talking about Y&R and DOOL. I do not Tweet, nor am I on Facebook. No Way!!!!! I believe you do not either, right?
I love my three soaps. I need not go outside of these sites….enough for me. What would we do without Michael Fairman? I really mean that, Shay, Girl….Later.
PS. Thank you for answering so fast.

Yes, CeeCee…the Denise act is wearing mighty thin! Whilst highly amusing, it is now crossing into annoyance territory, and really, how can this farce continue much longer? Sonny has Ava’s number….he’s knows she is not Ms. DeMuccio and has been just lying in wait to prove it. Having the adorable Avery back in his abode will be the ultimate trap for Ava…she will not be able to resist the lure of her precious daughter! As for Sappy, you already know full well my opinion of this social-climbing senorita (Now there is the appropriate application of “El Espanol!”…LOL!) As soon as she moves in on her clueless dupes, her m.o. is that she takes over their lives…that’s one bossy broad there, albeit dipped in a deceptively sugar-sweet coating!!!! (I did LOVE the way Denise laid into her as “snooty.”…..) But back to the language discussion….I don’t blame your “suocera” for being miffed at the poorly used Italian mash-up….the Roman empire was one of the greatest in civilization and still deserves the awe and respect it historically has for its contributions, particularly to cultural and culinary matters. Coming from two “paesanos” makes this strange slight all the more unforgiveable and egregious! (By the way, please tell “Nonna” I said “Ciao!”) In terms of our Sammy, yeah, the girl is finally hitting her stride….now if she could just get some decent duds to highlight her impressive form! Honestly, is that asking TOO much????? (Obviously, yes!) Oh well….must run! Have a safe and wonderful “4th” weekend with your family! P.S. I’ll bet Rosalba is a beautiful little vision in her sunwear!!!! Hope she’s enjoying her summer thus far!

@Shay.
LOL, Shay…we’re off to the beach, ourselves……yup, my baby is wearing a bikini…wish you could see all that sweet cuteness….chubby legs and all.
Nonna is my husband’s grandmother. I have a Gran and a Nanna…but I will say hi to Jude’s grandmother for you…LOL. Or, did you mean my mother-in-law?
You’re right, I paesani, Frank and Ron should do their homework.
So, you also see the change in Sam? I am getting warmer and warmer toward her, each passing day. I hope she can maintain her spunk. When she shows that somewhat feisty side of her, I cheer her on.
You really think Sonny is on to ‘Denise’? If not yet, he will definitely figure her out. Weasels can weed out anyone and anything which could be a threat to them.
Ava’s face changes completely just at the mere mention of Avery. Maura is incredibly convincing as the anxious, forlorn mother. I pay attention to the different, but fleeting facial expressions which convey so much of her inner turmoil concerning her daughter. I love that woman!!!!!…LOL.

I still don’t believe Sabrina is deceitful or a usurper, but, I do see your point of view, Shay. This character is so misplaced…..she sticks out like a sore thumb…..later, Girl…I am being summoned……

@Shay…
YES!!! Happy 4th, my friend.
HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY TO ONE AND ALL. I AM PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN.
LONG LIVE THE USA AND OUR DEMOCRACY.

Sorry for the confusion, CeeCee!….I meant your mother-in-law, since we were discussing how Cartini gave her “agita” over their less than respectful use of the Italian language….I guess I chose the term “Nonna” because she is, in fact, a grandmother….to your cherubs, but what a fine family tree you have with all those strong and wise matriarchs! Your Scottish gran sounds particularly wonderful….just the sort of lady with whom one would love to take tea! At any rate, send my warmest regards to all concerned, or perhaps only those who may have heard of your MFSoaps “bestie,” “Shay!” LOL. As for your darling little Rosalba, she already sounds like a fashion plate….taking after “Mommy?” (I’ll bet her wardrobe bests both Georgie Jones’ and Avery Jerome’s…..combined!!!!!) And how about that Sam? She was quite enchanting with Jake in today’s episode…sparks are a-flying between those two! Kinda like with Denise and Morgan! Given that woman’s passion for both her baby daughter and her ex-boyfriend, I don’t see how the cat won’t be leaping out of the proverbial bag here VERY soon….her uber-intense emotions for them make no sense for a long-lost relative who supposedly just met these individuals. Whenever there is a scene with either Avery or Morgan, the words may come out ala De Muccio, but the expressions are all Ava’s! This ruse certainly cannot last for much longer! And yes, I do think Sonny knows the truth…instinctually, at least…..and now he simply needs to find the conclusive proof to nail Ava. Maybe Sappy can come and stick her nose in his business, too, since she loves to impose herself in other people’s family matters…the Quartermaines should be getting mighty sick of her quite soon, so she’ll be looking for someone else upon which to intrude….next thing you know, she’ll want to be Carly’s BFF! Oh well, must go….by the way, I may be “offline” for a few days, so once again, have a great holiday weekend! Later! P.S. Forgot to add that I absolutely LOVED Laura in her “pistol-packin’ Mama mode!” Nothing like an angelic-looking woman who knows how to handle her firearms!

@Shay.
Awwww, Shay…too bad you’ll be off line. I think I am addicted to these sites…LOL. no matter what I am doing, I will take a minute here and there and check ‘things’ out.
Yes, Marcella, my mother-in-law does get “acido” reflux when it comes to anything Italian.
Oh, yes, Laura is a babe. I am such a fan. Sometimes we, inexplicably, take to an actor/actress or someone we just meet. Look at us, Shay. We hit it off instantly.
By the same token, I sometimes swing from disliking a character to completely loving him/her. The best example is Ava. She absolutely irritated me. But, I could watch her indefinitely. I cannot deny her talent. Not only that, but the woman is charismatic. I am hooked.

Have fun…enjoy the 4th with family and friends. We traditionally celebrate on the Vineyard….The ocean is practically in our back yard….so gorgeous….
The first time I saw my husband was here, on the 4th. I was six years old….he was ten. He called me a gnat…nice!!!!LOL. ….Soon!

@CeeCee….I’m back!!! Just needed a few days off to refresh and recharge! (But I did look in to see what was happening here….only I didn’t post until late last night!) At any rate, I hope you enjoyed a super Vineyard holiday weekend with your family….sounds like a lovely tradition, and the background story with your husband is simply too cute! (I don’t know why, but I always had the notion you two met during your prep school days….) Yes, there are those with whom we immediately strike an initial “like,” both in real life and online…..quite an interesting phenomenon how one can just know when they’ve encountered a kindred spirit, eh???? I have a true intuition for such things and I’ve very seldom been wrong, so I always trust my first impressions!!! (Same thing pretty much goes for soap characters…..it’s either love ’em right off or loathe them to eternity….witness “Sappy,” for example. LOL….) However, one notable exception was with Ava….I found a way to tolerate her once she became with child and at odds with the reptilian Nina….that really made me root for Ms. Jerome. But prior to that, I couldn’t stand her hoity-toity hitwoman with the phony airs and graces….as for her current guise as Denise? It’s beginning to wear mighty thin, because it’s hard to imagine a credible endgame to her masquerade. I do believe that recruiting Franco to aid in her scheme could prove to be interesting for the both of them, and will hopefully get RoHo away from Nina since that whole storyline is going nowhere….sorry. but MS is dragging him down…he is at his best when mixing with others…most particularly Dr. O.! In terms of Laura, she is an absolute sight for sore eyes….and has been the saving grace of the entire Luke exit strategy, which has otherwise been so dry and banal, with the exceptions of the blink-of-an-eye appearances of Emma Samms and Nathan Parsons. Sooo….Frank Smith is alive! Kinda obvious in retrospect, so not a huge surprise….I think a defrosted Mikkos Cassadine would have been a better shocker. Of course, it also would have had to be in a reconstituted form— just like Mr. Smith—because the original actor who portrayed the matriarch of that kooky clan is also deceased….just like the previous two “Franks.” Having said that, I definitely could have envisioned William Shatner as a revived Mikkos…..now THAT would have been great fun! I’m just not sure what more this Smith storyline can offer, although we still have Lucky to anticipate, and hopefully, a few other unexpected treats before Luke and TG sing “Happy Trails!” By the way, you have made mention of other sites where you enjoy posting…are they also soap-oriented or of different varieties??? This is generally my only “discussion destination,” as the “company” here is (for the most part) so highly intelligent, engaging and enjoyable, but I did have cause to wonder when you previously commented about them with the always off-the-wall su….perhaps I need to explore and… Read more »

@CeeCee….It’s my pleasure to respond….sometimes more rapidly than others, but it’s always a treat to trade thoughts with you! I was actually waylaid by a computer dilemma…..sometimes my Norton won’t cooperate when there’s a huge update concerned, and at some point, I have to solely address that before I can get back to the “fun stuff,” which is what happened over the long Fourth weekend. I knew it would take me awhile, which is why I forewarned you of my absence. Thankfully, in the wee hours of our nation’s 239th birthday, I finally nailed it, but after spending four consecutive overnight sessions working on that drudgery, I needed a break. Hence, that is exactly what I did! I enjoyed a rainy and peaceful few days….which was just what the doctor ordered! Oh yeah!!! Anyway, as for Dante….well, pop went that weasel with the Val-debeast, and in Lulu’s— and his—own marital bed, no less! What a complete betrayal…the least that snake could have done was taken his infidelity to an alternative location, but no! I found it to be utterly disgusting and distasteful…no excuses there whatsoever. So, Mr. Falconeri’s “man pride” took a beating….aww, poor baby! I just want Olivia to get back to Port Charles and smack her “cocco di mama” upside the head when she finds out what he has done! (I guess his apple didn’t fall from the Corinthos family tree after all…..) I’m just hoping that “Val-Chops” doesn’t try to trap this clueless cop with a well-planned pregnancy….ick, ick, ick!!!! In terms of your ardent defense(s) of su, they are to be admired, even if the majority of the posters here don’t agree with you…..what a loyal and steadfast friend you are! I myself simply find a little of her goes a very long way….then again, without su, there would be no prolific Harry retorts to her often predictable comments, so I do try to focus on that silver lining in an otherwise dreary cloud….I cannot imagine going without those near-daily, rapier sharp replies! (Thank you, Harry!!!!) Sooo….now I get the Jude and CeeCee story. How sweet….there really is nothing like the familiarity of someone with whom one grew up…shared history is such a strong basis for a truly grounded and enduring relationship. I’m still good friends with my first love….I’ve known him since I was 13—he’s also a bit older than me, and even though we ultimately weren’t meant to be, it’s still a kick to reminisce with him….we actually laugh every July4th about an incident back in the day…we were at our local country club, and he offered me a ride to a later evening fireworks display out of town that a group of us were already planning to attend, and even though I SO wanted to accept, my mother had told me just the week before, that I wasn’t allowed to go cruising around with boys in cars because I was tooo young. Hence, being the good child that I was–and also knowing that… Read more »

ppage: Yes, I watch a lot of old clips on YouTube. Remember way back when-“cliff-hanger Fridays?” haha

ppage, I watch it all the time and marvel and laugh and cry and experience again the wonderment of it all.

Then I come back to the current GH and #$?!!!^&*!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Those two are and always have been screen magic!

I’ll hide and watch. If it’s like all the other returns–zzzzzzzzzz. I’d just as soon go back and watch the earlier scenes on Youtube.

Well. Su…for me? Jonathan/Lucky doesn’t have to do a thing. I will just sit there wide-eyed, agape, enraptured while taking in all that beatudiness. He’s a wonder among wonders. Yeah!!!!
I never can follow any storyline on NASHVILLE because Jonathan ‘sends me’….LOL

And you know also “Jonathan Jackson and Tony Geary=power power performance, to come”–where’d you get that crystal ball???????????

Nancy, I think just putting Jonathan Jackson together with Tony will be emotionally powerful for those of us who watched the two of them since Jonathan was a little boy and Tony had his own hair…. 😉 Sad to think they, and their wonderful relationship, are forever gone from the show.

Well, Helena does spring to mind. Remember she’s the one who held Jason and made Robin bring him back to life along with Stavros. And, Helena is also known for driving Liz insane.

Sheer gossip but we brought everybody else back from the dead and remember Liz never got to see the body you know that was when Guza & Phelps thought it would be cool to get rid of Liz a character from a legacy family and white wash the character Sam who had only been with the show since 2004. This great love everybody proclaims with Jason and Sam geeze I thought he threatened to kill her for what she did concerning Baby Jake getting kidnapped. I hate what RC is doing to Liz but I am not a fan of Sam either.

K/Kay…I don’t remember Jason threatening to kill Sam…but I DO remember not too long ago Sonny threatened to kill Carly if Olivia died. Seems love is stronger than death threats! And mother/daughter relationships are stronger than a little thing like sleeping with your mother’s husband, ie Sam/Rick, Carly/Tony. Or, your ex wife’s mother…Morgan!

Sigh. I’ve always been a Sam fan, though. And, I like the way she dresses though a few don’t. It’s who she is…a tough chick with a heart of gold and a slammin’ body. She’s rough around the edges, not prissy like Lulu and Maxi, both whom I also love…

Hi, Patrick.
I hope that by ‘manned’ you mean ‘armed’, as in ammunition; and, not as a man of honor and integrity.
Nikolas’s actions are despicable. A real man uses no subterfuge and respects that which is not his. You are right, Patrick…..Nikolas does give me chills…..the disgusting kind; the eerie kind; the stay-away kind !! He feels entitled because he is a prince, part of a monarchy that is in exile……LOL. The gall, right, Patrick? Commanding Rosalie to recant proves what a complete jerk he is. He has RAT written all over him. He is preaching altruism by announcing that he is doing this for the Quartermaine’s and the company. He just finished sewing up what Helena , Fluke and cohorts started. Right!!!! How noble. No honorable man would pull a stunt like that and be called friend. He did it because the Cassadine holdings are neck-deep in both the Ionian and Aegean Seas. However, there is still that minuscule chance he is being controlled by his grandmother. I don’t think the writers have decided yet. As with the Fluke storyline, they’re just traipsing along. Ultimately, when the writers come to THE crossroads, I think they will utilize the Helena-control-method….OR, Jake and Sam will split Nikolas wide open and take back what rightfully belongs to the Q’s.
Yeah. Lulu and Dante love each other. But, he is vacillating…..we will see if this couple is meant to weather this hurricane (Valerie) disguised as a little rain shower. We do agree, Valerie should have kept Dante at arms’ length. And, no matter how many times she tells him he is married to her cousin…..well, her eyes say otherwise. Dante is aware of the attraction…..so, what does she do? She gets a job at the police station. Yup! I guess THE urge is too powerful?
Believe me, Patrick. No complaints here. I am actually interested. I’d like to see the willpower Dante will display. Could he be experiencing the seven-year itch? How long have they been married?
Uh oh!!! I better keep an eye on my husband, Patrick! LOL. later, my friend.

Patrick…I’m getting the feeling you’re liking the bad boy in Nicolas. He has joined the ranks with Julian and Sonny. Capable of great love, loyalty…devoted father…but ruthless. I could ALMOST buy his despicable takeover of ELQ (I’m routing for Michael to get it back) …but unless he’s being controlled or had a latent killer Cassadine gene that just broke loose (either naturally or via Helena), there’s no coming back from putting a hit out on Hayden.

I am also hoping (against hope) that Dante resists the mighty mating call of the “Val-debeast,” but when one mixes alcohol, fireworks and a bed at-the-ready, things certainly don’t look very good on the “fidelity front,” do they?

That just about sums it up, Timmm. I said the same thing.
Let us hope, at least, that Sam and Jake reunite. I came a long way to arrive at this conclusion. I am finally appreciating Ms Monaco.
But, Lizzie broke my heart. I loved her. Schemers and I do not do well together.
As I said in another thread, Jake and Sam will work together as sleuths and get to the truth. They will fall in love all over again. When Sam realizes who Jake really is, she will run , slo mo, into his outstretched arms….her hair tossed and tousled by the wind. LOL
Then, I hope Sam will kick Lizzie’s a$$. HA!

Timmm…I don’t think the t-shirt did it. I think Valerie’s accurate recounting that Dillon and Lulu were in an embrace and shared a secret they didn’t want him to know, Dante following her to the Q’s and seeing a shirtless, toweled Dilon answer the door, hearing Lulu say I love you to someone on the phone and quickly hanging up, telling him..out of the blue, she’s flying to Italy because Leslie’s sick…him finding out she’s not in Europe but in a hotel room with Dillon…might, lol, lead him to the conclusion he’s jumped to. Who, in real life, wouldn’t?

I don’t see it so out of character. He was jumping out of his skin when he found out Lulu was staying with Milo way back. The only difference there was that Lulu had amnesia..felt more secure there…so he let it slide.

Lulu is jealous of Valerie. No difference. Insecurity reigns…

Dante knows Lulu’s history with Dillon. He was her first love…she was pregnant with his child. She also seemed to waiver a bit when Johnny came to town. She was attracted…but, like now, didn’t act on it.

As for Valerie, I’m behind two shows so unless something’s happened I’m not suspicious of her yet. But I can see how a hurt Dante would come on to her.

Obviously the writers are shaking up the Falconeri pot. We shall see….

Once again you are trying to teach people like myself, old timers,who have been watching some if not all ABC and other network soaps from their inceptions. I usually fast-forward when i see your posts, but since I got your reply in my email without knowing who it was from (though I had a strong idea ) I decided to come aboard to confirm it. So here I am honoring you with my reply.

You purport to be the only one on this board who understands the workings of soap opera-you actually tell people whether or not they “get it” and that you in fact are the only one that does. In all my experience on boards I find you to be the most condescending and smug. -how others tolerate you here is beyond me.
But this is in reply to your comments on my original post regarding Dante, Nikolas and character assassination.
How dare you tell me how i should think, feel or not feel about a character that I’ve watched since the day he appeared on the GH canvas. (or anything or anyone else for that matter) Nikolas, is everything I stated he was in my post.
You are entitled to your opinion just like everyone else who posts here, love this Nikolas as much as you want, but it is not your job to teach people how to perceive anything, or state your opinion as though it were better or more informed than anyone else’s.unless there is an error in factual information about the soap, or character et al that needs to be corrected.

After all, you are just a newbie when it comes to G.H.
Before you make your sarcastic, overbearing ,condescending, remarks that you think are witty but are far from it, you should try graduating from soap 101 as you put it. and also learn how to spell along on your journey.. Do some homework and watch G.H. from the get go . Then maybe you too will actually “get it” like the old timers do. And try to develop a nicer way express yourself without discounting what others have to say.

“Writing 101” means not violating characters and their motivation–not complicated, very simple–but not when you have a different agenda and are a lazy PTB.

Bohemien..
hold some class..
Never ever attack a fellow poster, that is not cool..
Never ever get heckling, mean, personal with another person..
I am sorry you have anger issues, take care dear..

(I am happy I am not a grumpy ol’timer and that I do not carry around 40 years of old soap bagge because I love ALL of GH, it rocks!!
I can have a good time watching 🙂
