Hayden begged Ric to sleep with her after Jake turned his back on her in bed.
She tells Ric that she has needs and has a healthy sexual appetite.
Um…..I do not mean to be vulgar but aren’t there battery operated gadgets which could help Hayden scratch that itch?

Lol harry! I dont like this character at all. Wasnt a fan of hers on amc either.

I agree. they looked hot together! Valerie could basically be paired with any of the men on the show!

VANTE are meant for each other….boy, I really was not impressed by Valerie’s washed-out acting today. ….so forcefully forced. I hope she claims the character and exploits it to the limit. I do like her, but her story needs to be so authentic and riveting, that my head will spin . At the same time, a story that we can all relate to….what was her life like growing up; her education; her family life ; did her mother talk about her childhood?; her siblings?; where is her father? Etc.

@jimh….Oh, it’s “ninny,” indeed! How much more inconsequential can this vacant shell of a character become? I am so Sappy-ed out, it’s not even funny anymore! Just seeing that lunatic nurse holding and pushing Avery around in her stroller makes me see red! That baby is such a precious little angel and she has two completely idiotic, ineffectual human beings looking after her….by comparison, Sonny seems like “Superdaddy!” I am so hoping this sophomoric storyline is soon tied up….how much more stupidity must we be subjected to with these subpar players and plot? P.S. By the way, did you see… Read more »

Suoo, I forgive you for all of your trespasses for mentioning Tad the Cad.
That actually cheered me up.
Thank you.

Evolving into what, Su? Lol. Super sex-fiends? It’s not real! Actually, many of them are digressing into Neanderthals….just kidding, su.
I know all about ‘Tad, the Cad’. In the end? He was left with a bitter taste in his mouth. He too, had had father issues and as weird as they come, mother. Soooooo, you must love to watch those wallowing in dysfunction, yes? ‘Gotta’ love you, Girl. I really love, love, love reading your posts. What extravaganza ….you fill my plate with it…..later.

Awwwww, Iakovos…..just when I was going to tell so many cute stories about my own baby-girl…Lol.
I love baby storylines. But, they have to be happy and healthy babies. No deaths, no fighting over custody, parents getting along….just joy all around. Not soap-worthy? Lol. We need fodder, right?
So, I agree, in that respect, babies should be kept out of soaps. Something tragic always happes to or around them. Sad!!
By the by, Iakovos? Pardon my curiosity…..Does your name translate to Jacob? I am a linguist, a history buff, English Lit. buff, and I love deciphering the derivation of names.

I should have been more clear, CeeCee. I am just tired of stolen embryos (ripped from the womb!?!?!), doubted paternity, and switches on stormy nights. Y&R seems to do OK allowing Cane and Lily’s twins to grow normally, although they botched Kyle with the SORAS. Seems in recent years the ideas of romance, marriage, and parenting are not taken as seriously in storytelling. Too easy, too quick, no shame or no fear. All done for convenience more than good plotting. Iakovos is Greek for Jacob. I am a James and That name is akin to Jacob. All part of my… Read more »

And so you should be proud of your heritage, Iakovos. The Greeks and Romans transformed the world ….whether it be architecture, inventions, or philosophy etc. I know that Giacomo ( very similar to Iakovos) is Italian for James. So, I suspected your name translated to Jacob/James. You are right, of course. I am not sure if you watch Days, but Kristen did exactly that….ripped Theresa’s baby out of her womb and had it implanted in her own. Yes, it is very disturbing….in the world we live in…not so far-fetched. Actually, something similar was done on AMC. Erica’s embryo was taken… Read more »

You’re right, Su. Wow!!!!!!!! Nik and Hayden were hot….not that we saw much…but, the implication was loud and clear…good stuff…you bet, girl.

Exactly, jimh. Too many whys, where Nik is concerned. By all of your accounts and other posters, I am to assume that Nik is acting out of character. I am still willing to give him the benefit of the doubt for that reason. He is working with Sloane for the greater good. Perhaps his wanting ELQ is a front for something more….whatever it may be. Otherwise, everyone has been fooled by Nik’s double facade all this time? Is that possible? I also agree with you about bed-hopping, especially having just met. Then again, that’s something personal. I would have to… Read more »

jimh..
Helena said the Cassadines lost a lot of their fortune..
They need ELQ ..
Nichols has the Cassadine DNA.. he can be the good bad guy ..
I feel a Cassadine Quartermain power play would be very intriguing=DYNAMITE!

I like Nik now, he is becoming interesting.. hot sexy and Cassidiny! (finally ….
Nik and Elizabeth were horribly dull..
Mother Elizabeth is not a good character to be paired with too lackluster lol
Hayden and Nik <—-''good stuff'' !!

So true, CeeCee….She’s probably thinking why am I stuck in the care of these two utter, complete morons who spend more time in this bar rather than luxuriating in my beautiful, plush nursery that my mafia don daddy and his skankgster ex-wife put together for me at his house? Say what you will, but that little girl was well-looked after at Chez Corinthos, and was probably in the best possible place until Ava, Silas or even Delia could arrange a permanent situation for her. I just hope this custody nonsense is over soon….it’s excruciating to watch the antics of those… Read more »

p.s. : thanks JimH for remembering Britta

every one else in Port Charles (LOL) got a ticket out of jail

course, i’m still vigilante for Ava

and i’m still on the fence with : will it be Silas or Sonny who cares for lady/tigeress Ava

I agree with U CeeCee, that is the Cutest and sweetest baby. Now let’s talk the PROMO with Michael, he loses it !!! In more ways than one, we all know he will not retain custody of Avery, his Crazy out of control behavior will take care of that matter. Thanks in part to Morgan & KiKi’s “MESSING with him”. I dare say ( hoping U don’t all HATE on me 4 saying this ) Michael has brought a lot of this on himself… Too be tabled 4 now, & picked apart later on. BLOW # 2 he’ll most probably… Read more »

Fanny…Michael didn’t bring anything upon himself. People pulled crap on him…and he reacted. I believe his motivation for wanting Avery/AJ was twofold…both to protect her from Sonny’s gangsta life…he himself victimized over and over because odpf it..and to pay back every wrong committed by Sonny to his bio dad, AJ. Sabrina did not take the baby to some seedy bar,,,the metro court is an upscale hotel, restaurant…and Michael had no intention of getting drunk. He was doing a business lunch, as an adult, having a drink…and he was not currently taking care of the baby. He got out of control… Read more »

@Shay. Hi Shay. On the contrary, no one in his/her right mind would disagree with you. I would have been very happy if Kiki had fought for custody and won. But, not this flighty Kiki. It should have been a Kiki en par with Kristen…mature and with her head screwed on right. However, Avery does not belong with Sonny, albeit he is her father…biology means nothing in this case. He is not worthy. Michael winning custody was dumb from the get-go. Again, the writers ‘screwed up’, in my opinion. And yes, he succumbed to his rage and angst and lost… Read more »

Well, CeeCee, sadly, for that sweet little girl, she lost the parent sweepstakes on both counts. Despite Ava’s fierce lioness instincts and noble selflessness which emerged during her pregnancy and subsequent ill-timed delivery, she is not a fit mother in the strictest sense of the word, either. Sonny and she are two sides of the same Cosa Nostra coin….so what to do, what to do? Allow nurture over nature to prevail, and deny both blood parents their own offspring? I concur “old Kiki” was a suitable (temporary) choice for custody of Avery, particularly with Silas in her corner to oversee… Read more »

@Shay. I do agree to a certain extent, Shay. That is, Avery (do not like to call her AJ) ought not to be with either of her parents. One could argue that Kiki turned out fine being reared by Ava……yes, oldKiki….sadly the Jerome imprint is manifesting itself in the present Kiki, albeit I noticed a tell-tale of compassion for Michael yesterday; and, possibly regret. I know you hold a great antipathy for Sabrina ( and Nina), but she is a good person. Her heart is in the right place ….she would never hurt the baby. She had a breakdown….very common… Read more »

@Patrick.
Hey, Patrick….I haven’t forgotten Britt either; not by a longshot!

@Patrick….Count me in as another Britt fan who terribly misses her presence….GH really has not been the same without her! I do especially pine for those Drs. Obrecht-Westbourne mother-daughter scenes!

Yeah, Jimh. That’s what I’ve been saying. It could all be a put-on by Nik and Sloane. Perhaps they are trying to deflect something bigger than we know or think. Worth the wait.

Don’t think so, jimh…I still think Nic, at his core, is good..but he’s definitely keeping Jason’s identity a secret for selfish reasons…to steal ELQ. Pretty difficult to fathom he’d keep such life altering information to himself, and the fallout will be huge.

He certainly seems to have more personality than old Jason…he even smiles. And I think Steve B is finally settling into a decent storyline on Y&R.

su0000, I like your take on Jake vs Jason! I think most fans would agree… 🙂

I agree with you , Su. But, it is vital for Jake to remember who he is. Too many doors are left open….anyone could walk in and out at his expense…..as we have already seen by Rick’s and Hayden’s behavior.
Let’s just hope that when he comes out of his ‘stupor’, Jake will emerge as Jason Q. Later.

Rebecca1…agree with your comments about Michael not bringing his current predicament on all by himself. And I’m really not liking how Morgan and Kiki are setting him up. To help along someone with possible alcoholic tendencies is evil. I also like Sabrina, always have. Maybe she’s not or flashy as the other’s in her demo, but she seems more solid, loyal, kind, studied hard to become a nurse, and actually held down a job. More than I can say for some of the others. And she seems okay as a nanny for AJ and confidante for Michael. As the story… Read more »

Hi Rose…ya, I’m glad they’re keeping Sabrina. She really is such a solid, grounded character…truly a good heart. I think she looks great…less eye makeup, back in shape…and she has a calming presence. I actually think she’d be a great match for Michael. He needs a good, honest person in his corner. As for baby AJ, I don’t see the battle over her ending any time soon. If Michael ever finds out Morgan drugged him, their brotherly love will be a distant memory. I truly want Michael to remain a Q, but I do fear they’re trying to duplicate history… Read more »

P.S. We have not seen the Jake imposter lately. I doubt very much he will forget to collect more of the blackmail money. Also, when all Rick’s schemes come to a halt, what will happen to Hayden. The actress/character has not been well received by many. Personally, I hope there will be a loophole somehow, and, she will stay.

Correction…first sentence in the post before should read……”I don’t think anyone on any soap IS aware…”, NOT ‘are’….

Outnumbered? Perhaps, CeeCee….but at least you are in fine company with those of us who remain as skeptical as yourself on the so-called Luke “reveal.” Even with TG’s considerable talents, this tawdry tale is truly headed nowhere, and the addition of the ill-cast newbie playing the angry and aggressive Valerie isn’t helping matters at all. Today’s episode was just more blah, blah, blah….it’s as if the show runners want to keep rubbing their selective sleight of hand storytelling in our faces. I’m pretty much done hoping for otherwise. Time to move on, indeed…..As for Liz, I totally agree that she… Read more »

@jimh…..Cannot disagree with you, particularly about Ninannoy…great moniker! Just please tell me she isn’t going to traipse off with that sweet little angel…again! It’s making me crazy how all of these so-called adults are playing “musical baby” with Avery. In the end, Silas and Delia need to have some sort of care arrangement for her, because they are the only responsible, mature people in this whole scenario…..and who woulda ever thunk that Mrs. Coleridge would be described as such? Just goes to show how bad the other parental/guardian choices are in this custodial mess! As for “Phyllina.” yes, she needs… Read more »

I agree, I don’t like characters becoming saints either when they started off as baddies. By redeem, I mean in the sense that even though the character has done bad things, there is still that hint of good in them and they aren’t truly evil. Characters like Helena, Stavros, Faison, etc. will never be redeemed, but characters like Hayden who aren’t evil still can be bad, but have that hint of good that makes you root for them still.
