Hi, jimh. As soon as the full Silas/Nina/Ava/Madeline connection was revealed, I knew Kiki was the child Madeline stole from Nina and gave to Ava. Just a feeling, I guess. However, I will admit that I am starting to doubt that feeling.
When Kiki’s name came up on the list Michael Fairman was holding during the interview, Michelle didn’t even flinch. There was nothing in her body language to suggest even a hint that Kiki was Nina’s.
Perhaps she herself doesn’t even know what comes next. The writers most likely do not divulge such information….

Hiya Shay! One of your favorite sparring partners!? Shucks…LOL. And you, mine.

I actually think there is a slight resemblance between Nina and Kiki. If I remember correctly they have the same color eyes (I THINK…not even sure) and I noticed the hair color a while ago. I think it’s a good match (physically speaking) if what we all guess to be true is…

Hello again, rebecca1!!! Glad to know the feeling is mutual!…Haha. Yes, there is a passing resemblance between Kiki and Nina…and there appears to be a concerted effort toward making it even more apparent. As we discussed some time ago, I never felt there was much of a mother-daughter vibe with Ava and her child….not necessarily that there was no bond, but it simply seemed, for lack of a better word, “different.” Also, there was certainly no physical similarity….although I was temporarily more prone to accepting Kiki as a Jerome after Ava’s own maternal lineage was linked with Delia Coleridge….now there I do see a real likeness….KA and IK have the same stature, facial structure and features, so from that standpoint, I could accept the given familial history. Having said that, I am now definitely leaning toward Kiki as being the “Clayby” that Nina supposedly lost….which also now makes her Madeline’s granddaughter. That kinda, sorta works, too, although I have always had a really hard time buying Phyllina as Donna Mills’ offspring…..maybe that’s just another reason that I was so disappointed with Silas’ long lamented wifey in the embodiment of MS. In addition to not bearing any semblance to the fragile, benevolent, ethereal creature we were previously led to expect, I have had a very hard time envisioning the petite, glamorous Madeline Reeves as the birth mother of that tall drink of water, Nina….I know this sort of thing happens in real life all the time, but I guess I’m simply predisposed to believing that a female child eventually ends up looking like her mother due to my own uncanny mirror-image to my maternal figure. (I once had a college friend encounter my mom when she was shopping at a cosmetics counter and say, you’re so-and-so’s mother, aren’t you? She had no previous inkling that we looked alike, but she just saw my mom and felt that the resemblance was so great, that it was an undeniable fact!!!! Another time, my mom was driving my car near my university campus and some guy enthusiastically tried to flag her down on a four-lane street and in doing so, almost ran her off the road….she later described “this idiot” who was waving wildly at her…I couldn’t imagine who it was until a month later said dude was teasing me about being stuck-up and ignoring him on “whatever avenue.” I told him that it was actually my mother he had been tailing…..of course, he didn’t believe me!!!!) But I digress…. ; ) P.S. Totally off topic, but are you still viewing “Forever?” I remain engrossed…and thought the most recent episode was the best one yet!!! Loved the historical background of the victim, Abe’s part in the storyline and the less gimmicky aspect to this latest installment. I’m truly hoping this show succeeds!

Shay…let’s see……..I’m not loving Forever…but I like it and I’ll continue to watch. The real test for me is if I look forward to something. There are a handful of shows I love and actually am thrilled when it’s “the night”…or I can kick off my boots and binge watch on a whim. But I love Judd Hirsch…as I mentioned he’s such a genuine actor…just a down-to-earth guy who brings the same vibe to his roles…and I’m new to Ioan Gruffudd I can see getting hooked on him! The show still lacks originality for me…still too much like The Mentalist which I liked (love Simon Baker which I also told you previously) but I’m hoping it will evolve as we find out who the other immortal is, why he’s stalking him, and other stories that may branch out. I also like how they’re able to time travel to the past through his recollections…

Shows I love…Nashville, Revenge, Once Upon A Time, Downton (which I need to catch up on)…just started watching Witches of East End which I like a lot.) There are a few shows I’d love to see from the beginning that I’ve never watched: Game of Thrones, Vampire Diaries…to name two. And of course…one of my all time favorites…The Tudors. Sooo disappointed when they didn’t renew Jonathan Rhys Myers Dracula…oh!…and I also like Halle Berry (not the actress but her acting) in Extant (which doesn’t look like it’ll be renewed).

I’m loving GH these days. I think all the stories are fun Looking forward to Franco’s revenge which should bring about Michael’s revelation about his parents betrayal/the truth about AJ’s death.. also….nuJason, Nathan reading the phonebook or anything else he’d care to do… 😉

I disagree with you and a few others here ( you KNOW I had to get a disagreement in, didn’t ya???) about the bed-hopping. First of all, I don’t think there’s much of it. But c’mon…who wants a sexless soap!!!??? What I do find hilarious is how quickly people seem to get over their
heartbreak…Sonny’s gone from Connie to Olivia to Carly with barely skipping a beat. And, yet, I have no doubt he’s loved them all. Alexis, your favorite…cleavage and all…went from Mac (which was built up but never panned out) to Sean to Julian and possibly to Ned (though her heart’s still with Monsieur Jerome). Sam? That was realistic. Sam, Silas and Patrick all grieved over their losses in ways that were much more realistic to loss…and didn’t “bed-hop_ during their despair. But then again, in real life, everyone gets over someone differently. But my point is I like hot, steamy sex…errrrr…on soaps! 😉 It’s not like anyone’s standing on a corner charging for it!

By the way, did you notice that Britt’s looking kinda amazonian lately? Gorgeous girl…but I didn’t notice how big-boned she is back-in-the- day when she first sneered at Sabrina… 😉

Oh, Shay, we are in agreement about Sabrina this time. It makes no sense to me to light a candle in the hopes of destroying an unborn child? If she is such a Christian as to put so much credence in her faith, then she is a walking contradiction. God would not listen to such treachery….perhaps the universe would (karma), but not God. Actually, God would punish her somehow for her gesture and malicious thought, no?
That blasphemous invocation should be directed to Satan….I was appalled ! And the pills? I can’t forgive Sabrina for that, unless she’s really loco. I mean clinically cray-cray.
When I see babies, I melt…so, this kind of behavior completely turns me off…..unforgivable, is what it is.
I am so disappointed by this turn of events ! Why, SaVrina, WHY !!!!! LOL…Carlos always calls her SaVrina with a ‘v’,
As far as this being Ava’s first pregnancy, I did say that a few weeks ago, so we do think alike. I can’t remember why it came up, exactly, but it was my answer to another poster’s query.
As far as the true parentage of Ava’s baby, you did pique my curiosity right now. I never thought about the fact that this baby may not be either Sonny’s or Morgan’s. Our minds can form different scenario; we can ruminate , masticate, ingest and digest…lol…but, we won’t know until there’s a DNA test….even that will not necessarily be authentic; switcharoos are so popular on soaps LOL.
And, yes, Shay. I would get such a thrill if Carly were to become a Granny. Ha! Bobby? Wow, I know I’ll get blasted for this, but seriously? I cannot look at her warped face. I looked at pictures of the real Jackie on the internet…..such a pretty face, she had…..she is completely transformed.
As far as Ava’s age…that should not be that much of a factor , should it? She’s only 40. It is not an advanced age to have a baby, is it?

You’re right, Shay. We have agreed on this from the beginning. There is no chemistry between Silas and Nina.
I do not like the role Michael Easton has been given. …..I have my suspicions about him and his Count Dracula’s ancestors…LOL. He deserves an honest-to-goodness meaty role. I loved him on OLTL. I have not connected with Silas yet.
As you put it, I’m not drawn to the nonsense either…but, I can’t help anticipating, tongue in cheek, for Michelle to do what she does best….. WOW us.
But, honestly, I didn’t see any passion between him and Sam either.
I love watching steamy sex scenes as the next person, but, personally, I do not consider Sonny and Carly as sexual beings….with each other irk with anyone else.
I realize Alexis is a sex-crazed maniac when it comes to Julian….but it works for me…I can’t explain it….he is just one sexy Granpa…LOL.
I would love to see this particular storyline with Nina and Silas come to an end without any mishaps. Time to start another with Nina, Franco and Kiki.
Methinks Madeline’s back for that reason….I wish.

Michael Easton is just doing that thing he’s paid to do. You know, that thing….what is it? Oh, I know…ACTING! I have no doubt that if they filmed a flashback scene to Silas’ & Nina’s early years, they would be believably in love. Chemistry can be an act, too, you know. Silas’ is acting the same way with Nina as he did with Sam @ the NYC emergency room – like he’d rather be with anyone else (preferably Sam) or dealing with an unconscious patient.

Well, Stacie. The opposite is also true then. And I paraphrase…..things would have worked differently if Silas were played by someone else. It is a matter of opinion and perspective.
Michelle Stafford does not just play the crazy banshee; she is a multi-faceted, multi-talented actress.
Not that a Michael isn’t. But, I am so tired of looking at his fixed somber face. I know he can do so much more with his scenes. Silas interaction with Sam was a bust as well, IMO…..I have never seen a more spark-free relationship… They both appeared to be very mechanical protagonists.
I do know what you mean, though. Michelle Stafford is not your cup of tea. Understood. But, I’m glad you see what a great actress she is. I could be that I am very partial when it comes to her…LOL…later.

I think Michelle is great in the role and disagree that a different actress should have been cast. She is wonderful with everyone of her co-stars except for Easton which to me means she isn’t the problem.

CeeCee….Above and beyond all else, any character ME portrays….be it a cop, vampire, and yes, even doctor….must be the epitome of cool…it’s just in his DNA, thus, when he is given material that plays against his innate nature, well, it simply doesn’t work. Making Silas appear like a clueless, pathetic dupe in Nina’s tomfoolery has been the undoing of this entire “dead wife returned to life” scenario, and for those of us who have come to appreciate Easton’s signature persona, it’s been both frustrating and nonplussing seeing him forced to play uncharacteristically thick and restrained . Prior to this point, I have enjoyed his portrayal of Silas….his relationship with Sam and its gradual progression from loathing to loving—with Danny’s illness as a bonding backdrop—made sense to me…it is perhaps the most traditional type of soap-style affair we have been treated to on GH…since it at least had a logical beginning, middle and end(?) There was some emotion and thought put into it, which was a welcome change since so much of what we see in the forming of most current Port Charles couplings is extremely abridged and seemingly instantaneous….very little forethought and background are explored before the “hook-ups” occur…this is not only boring but very unsatisfying to those of us who prefer a long build-up to a romantic relationship…the way most soap pairs used to be constructed. At any rate, unlike many in the MS fan base, I cannot fault Easton for his visible lack of enthusiasm in Silas’ present marital entanglement….the storyline is awful, the chemistry with his co-star is non-existent and the longer this dramatic farce progresses, the more intolerable it becomes. (We agree it needs to end….immediately!) Having said that, it truly does take two to tango, so to try to place the blame solely on ME’s shoulders is unfair….(I’m not saying you are doing this, CeeCee!)….as far as I am concerned, MS failed to bring the necessary heat and excitement to her role when she usurped Sam’s place with Silas….if her performance as the fabulously fabled Nina we were promised had come to fruition, then there would not now be this overwhelming sense of disappointment and disillusionment. In terms of the other aforementioned twosomes, I’m so numbed to the notion of Sonny and Carly after these lo so many years that they literally have no effect on me anymore, other than to inspire total disgust… it’s like, been there, done that…again and again. (Like a couple of familiar dogs in the backyard….LOL.) And I have basically the same reaction to Alexis and Julian….it’s not as if these two had some awesome, epic first love experience together way back then, only to finally reunite years later. She was a tawdry one-night pick up (for some guy whose name she couldn’t even recall…oh please!!!!) which resulted in an unwed teenage pregnancy….the fact that through a ridiculous twist of fate these two serendipitously rediscovered one another in the present day really doesn’t suffice for me as some great moment… Read more »
