@Shay… That scenario would truly be delicious, exactly what Tracy needs.
Women like Dr.O, Magda, Diane & Alexis they can relate, drown their
sorrows and play a little pool…

@Fanny…..Yep, a “Girls’ Night Out” would be too much fun….although I’m not sure if I could envision the soigne’ Magda getting down n’ dirty playing pool! More likely she’d be sitting in the corner with her champers making prickly pronouncements about the rest of the lot! LOL….

Shay, hi, there.
You know? Sometimes I read back through past threads to see if I missed anything. Guess what I realized? I thought I had a little respite for the past couple of weeks….shucks! No such luck!! ….have you noticed that two certain posters disappeared for days and then came back at the same time? Get my drift? Two names, one person. I need to mind what I write about Alexis, again!
Also, I forgot to mention on my last reply about Franco and Dr.O. I had been thinking what you wrote for a while now. I am glad I am not the only one to think of pairing Franco with Dr. O. I think they would turn the world upside-down together. In or out of bed. Imagine that! She would break into song at the peak of ecstasy….just like Madeline Kahn, after her electric encounter with Young Frankenstein…Or, actually have Franco break into song….hilarious. That would be a memorable moment, no? Later.

@Shay I have decided that maybe Leslie Charleson is ill and can’t work right now why else have we not seen her since last year. She was every bit as good of an actress as anyone on that show now her scenes with Stuart Damon etc and the breast cancer storyline wonderful acting. I miss her I really do.

James i kind of agree…it would be refreshing seeing Tracy with a female friend but it shouldv’e been with her sister-in-law Monica…they have never really been close and often at each others throats over the years…it wouldv’e been truly refreshing to see Monica and Tracy as bffs and bonding after all these years…its Monica’s house and we never see her…her son Jason is alive with a front-and-center storyline and all we see is Monica’s picture?…Monica should be in these stories…it wouldv’e made more sense with her and Tracy…and we should be seeing her in occasional scenes with Jake too…she’d get these odd unexplainable feelings around him…she starts seeing him act more and more like Jason ect.,…it would make that story more exciting!!!

Sappy is taking over the show like Summer on Y&R! I cannot stand either one of them. Jane Elliot probably wishes she would have announced HER retirement after seeing that she has to chew scenes with “Scene Slicer Sappy!”

@Timmm….After seeing the incomparable JE reduced to the indignity of those repeated scenes with Sappy, I wish she had retired!!!! I just don’t get why all the long-time greats of GH have been forced to share the spotlight with this inane nobody….Anna, Tracy, Sam, Patrick, even Sonny and Carly. There is absolutely no rhyme or reason for this mediocre miss being accorded so much exposure on the Port Charles canvas, and yet, many, many far more talented individuals and favorite characters have been relocated to the backburner whilst she continues to be shoved down the viewers’ throats. Why not just rename it “The Sappy Soppy Hour” and be done with it?????

I tried to like Ninny SAINTiago…i honestly tried…but her character just doesnt fit in…her and Tracy do not work as bffs…Tracy and Monica never got along since day one and it wouldv’e been a nice and unexpected twist to finally see the sister-in-laws bond after all these years…Liz i was fine with but i grew to dislike but as for Nik i like him better as a villian…he was too bland as a nice guy…as for Ava i would like to see a shocking twist…Ava really did have a twin named Denise(also played by MW) who shows up in PC and confronts Ava/Denise!!!

@jimh.
You’re right about keeping Pat alive. So many questions would have been answered. But, yes, that would have been too easy.
I do wonder, though, why Valerie has her mother’s surname, Spencer. Was she born out of wedlock? Was Pat raped? Did her father abandon both her and her mother? Was Pat purposely keeping her child’s paternity a secret? If so, why? I think Valerie is here to stay because of all these ‘mysteries’. We shall see!!

Well, so much for DenAva’s “knees-together” notion, CeeCee!!!! Ain’t gonna happen…LOL! It shall really be interesting to see where Ms. Jerome’s insatiable libido leads her…she’s wantonly wading into Alexis territory, where she’s just “gotta have it,” come h#ll or high water! Speaking of the “bust-baring one,” has it gone unnoticed that despite Denise’s totally trashy tartwear, she’s still showing off far less cleavage than the uppity Alexis? Just had to ask….if anyone else has noticed this other than me, it would be YOU!!!! As for the Sapster, I’ll never understand your “soft spot” for her….we see eye-to-eye on so many other issues, but on this we are simply destined to remain diametrically opposed. Just the mere presence of that vapid creature roils my disdain to no end.

Much fashion food for thought there, CeeCeeGirl! I also admired Maxie’s summery floral frock as I watched her on Friday afternoon….the soft pastel colors were perfect with her breezy blonde beauty, just as I’m sure your sun-dress complements yours!!!! Having said that, as long as neither of us emulates Denise or Alexis in the respective attire to which they currently adhere, we should remain in good seasonal style stead….LOL! (Here’s a thought….If Alexis walks about half-exposed in the winter, what God awful creations will she be donning when Port Charles experiences this year’s first heat wave? Oh, the horror!) But I digress….back to speaking of Ms. DeNuccio….Maura West really is playing up the “trash factor” in fabulous form as the gum-popping, junk-in-the-trunk strutting, Denise! Yet, because we know that it’s all faux, it’s absolutely hilarious!!! I’m not sure how much longer Ava can get away with her “hiding in plain sight” masquerade, however, it’s been a real kick! I just want her to assume custody of that precious poppet and go on from there!!! As for the Sapster, I can understand your relating and empathizing with her maternal storyline, but Geez Louise, that tragic tale came and went over a year ago….I’ve seen no relevant place on the GH canvas for this problematic character since Patrick gave her the romantic heave-ho and they lost Gabe the Babe. She really should have just departed after that development and not returned…it would have made sense and been the appropriate closure for this polarizing parvenu-in-waiting! Lastly, I can appreciate your disdain for Kiki and Morgan…they are such layabouts and not even in a glamorous, “Gossip Girl” sort of way….they look like lazy slobs and just while away their days hanging out, snarking and behaving badly. At least when KA was still portraying Kiki, there was some common sense and goodness in the character, especially when she moved in to assist Morgan with the brownstone renovation. Since then, neither has shown much inclination for any kind of positive existence……’tis a shame they didn’t get to care for Avery, because I do believe that child could have been the making of both of them. Of course, I fully expect Morgan to be revealed as the true baby daddy of said crumpet, so that will perhaps herald in a more mature Corinthos…particularly if he ends up reunited with Ava. (Which would leave Kiki……in a romantic redux with Mikey? Works for me!)

Well, you’re no slouch in the sunshine department either, CeeCeeGirl! It’s always a treat to read your saucy posts! Especially when Sonny is one of the topics!!! Is it just me, or did he look like he dipped his scalp in an entire tin of black shoe polish during his most recent onscreen appearance???? His hair was so dark and shiny, it resembled patent leather! So much for GH’s small screen version of Valentino…LOL. I know you love to speculate on this “Dandy Don’s” prodigious paternity possibilities, but c’mon, he’s hardly “The Father of Port Charles,” despite his current 5×5 status…there’s simply no way he can be responsible for siring every under-40 person of questionable lineage currently inhabiting the town…in that case, there would be no musical couplings upon which to ruminate! (And I am sooo ready to play shuffleboard with the status quo pairings….too many simply don’t work!) First of all, Kiki and Morgan need to be dunzo….the two of them put together don’t equal even half a wit. It’s bad enough that the “Corinthos Kid” has never been the sharpest tool in the shed, but putting him back with nuKiki has created negative brain energy…they both require adult supervision! Fortunately, Morgan will have DenAva to fulfill that role, even if her own maturity truly should be called into question with her latest pursuit of her former boy toy….can she really trust that dullard with her secret identity? I mean, if they get back to the same old, same old, isn’t he going to recognize the “same old, same old?” (Unless the crafty Ava has added some “new moves,” not to mention various sorts of nifty décor, motif or ornamentation “down there,” as well! You can’t put it past her….) Still, I simply cannot fathom either of them putting the brakes on their explosive passion….particularly Ava….she’s gone without for so long now…what with all of that gesticulation, incarceration, and recuperation she’s endured! And if not Morgan to scratch that itch, than which mister? Silas is just too smart to allow his old feelings to get the better of him, and with a convicted, on the lam felon, no less???? I can’t see it, so my suspicions remain with Morgan as the main man, although I did see a spoiler that suggests Franco may fill that void! (Personally, I’d prefer Dr. O. would unleash her inner cougar and have a fling with this alternately morose and mirthful man-child. She seems to have a soft spot for those mercurial “got a screw-loose” types, so he’d be a perfect fit for her!) Anyway, that’s leaves Kiki as the odd girl out, and since I cannot envision anyone else putting up with her huffy stuff, I have to reunite her with Mikey. Maybe if they get close again, and she can usurp Sappy in every possible capacity, including caring for Avery, it will miraculously make her less obnoxious and unappealing….just a thought, since I can see no other function for this horrendous recast….really, how much longer can one hold out hope that she is ultimately going to be revealed as Nina’s demon spawn? Which would once again put the Sapster nowhere, which is exactly as it should be….and don’t even think about latching her onto Dillon, I suspect he’s about to commit adultery with Lulu, which makes me sad and unfortunately, gives Dante reason to dally with Vally (Chops.) Ick!!!! Okay, that leaves the task of finding Julian another mate….because, let’s face it, Alexis and he are completely ridiculous together, and becoming more so with each passing day. Of course, Olivia would be a great choice upon her return and the eventual reveal that their son is still alive. But that could take quite awhile, so in the interim, who shall Mr. Jerome have as a new physical preoccupation???? Although I would love to see him with a hot, young thing, there aren’t any to be found on the GH canvas right now, so….since he seems to go for women of a certain age, how about Maddie? She’s so gorgeous that her sex appeal belies her age. Plus, they could plot together, maybe she could even head up his publishing company’s fashion/society division? At some point, her scheming to get back Nina’s money is probably going to go bust, so until she finds another means to pay the bills, she may have to actually join the workforce. Could be interesting! (As long as the absurd union between Julian and Ms. Davis is finally put to rest, I shall be content.) Lastly, I loved your “plum tree” comment….it brought to mind the notion that we both know what happens when the fruit is “over-exposed” to the elements, especially too much sun…..it becomes dried up and wrinkled….as a prune! Just saying….Later!

@Shay.
I consider myself nocturnal as well; simply because I cannot sleep. My brain never stops…always going….LOL.
to be honest with you, Shay. I feel traumatized by MadMaddie and Rick the D!@k. How low can they go? Soapy, soapy, soapy…LOL.
Furthermore, I am so tired of all the shenanigans. Is anything going to be resolved? This Jake thing is starting to take a nonsensical turn….it will take forever…. Fluke, anyone?
**************************************
You know how much I love Michelle, Maura and Howard. Thus, it breaks my heart what the writers are doing to these stalwart actors. Yes, I do enjoy the comedic stints by Franco and Maura. Franco’s chewing gum, completely parroting ‘Denise’ was buffoonish….funny, yes. But, Roger is not a clown. It does show how talented he is, however, how can one take him seriously? Enough, now. Yes? I think it’s time to cut the cord. Also, it was fun to watch at first; now, it is stale. Ava as Denise; Franco as the looney comedian.
Then comes Nina. I said, since she emerged from her coma, that every misfortune that befell Nina was her mother’s fault. All because of money. Regardless how she excuses it….that Nina has always had a bizarre streak, if you will,…..a mother always has her child’s best interest at heart. MadMaddie is driven by money….and, we all are aware that Rick is sniffing her skirts for that reason only.
I am not too happy with Nina. Is she more astute than we presume? I say this because in the midst of acting like a mindless child, I see a flair of intelligence glowing….an astuteness which belies her actions. I see that as some superlative acting. She can change disguises on cue…a Child-like Nina, adult Nina, loving Nina, angry Nina, betrayed Nina, frightened Nina….what a chameleon. Nina has been aching for someone to love her all her life. That is her mother’s fault. I think Dr. O, who is supposedly the weird, evil one, is proving to be a fit, loving mother….later, Girl!

@Shay.
Hi, Shay.
Yes, I did enjoy the exchange you had with your friend…..we should both pick up knitting as a hobby. (Inside joke…try to explain that).
I actually responded to you with a lengthy post, which, may I add, some would regard as winded….never made it, Shay…completely pulverized. So, I will try to re-write a shorter version.
To make a long story short…I am just not impressed by this sordid, sort-of-affair between MadMaddie snd Rick. This is a mother who is basically selling her daughter out.
I hurt for Nina…she is a tortured soul, looking for love anywhere she can get it. All because her mother denied her the nurturing every child needs and deserves.
Why, oh, why is Michelle portrayed this way? It’s a joke. She was impressive on Y&R….her clothes out-of-this-world ….haute couture envoye’ de Paris. She wore every stitch with flair and flourish. I really do not ken why she wears tubes in lieu of dresses, now.
Dr. O is definitely an integral part with whatever transpired in Nina’s young life. She did divulge to Nina that she knew a secret concerning her past. The only logical conclusion I can come to, is that Kiki is Nina’s daughter, as I keep harping, at nauseam.
I just want this to stop, Shay. Decide what to do with Nina once and for all. She should divorce Rick, reclaim her money and grow up. Do you think she’s fooling everyone? Maybe I’m underestimating her. Oh, how I would love to see Nina stick it to both her mother and Rick….Lol…G’nite.

I did su0000 AND I am “Old” enough to have admitted watching them when they first aired! You just knew then Jonathan was going to be a star. I see the same for the young man who plays Spencer. He will be in the spotlight one day.

Tooo Much Kill farren Phelps on Y&R for me. Will watch the return of the real actors to GH and just hope for the best. As long as my stomach can stand to watch T G.
