What is the cryptic message Claire Grace (Hayley Erin) just gave Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott), as she spiked her bosses tea with some unknown substance? That’s the question on viewers of The Young and the Restless following Tuesday’s episode.

Claire’s plan is in full motion. Clearly, she is in cahoots with someone else. So far, she has successfully been able to get Nikki to make a stop in Oregon to visit Claire’s “Aunt Jordan”, who Claire says idolizes Nikki.

When they get to her Aunt’s house, Jordan is nowhere to be found.  However, there is conveniently a note left behind and a teapot with some teacups. Claire tells Nikki her aunt is not home, but Jordan prepared this tea for her guests while she is out.

Engaging in ‘pleasantries’ in a conversation about Claire’s life growing up, Nikki sips more and more tea.  She notices Claire doesn’t take a sip. Claire says she musr confess. She is not a tea drinker.

Suddenly, Nikki is oft-kilter and feeling ill.  She spills the tea all over the floor.  Nikki looks at Clare, and she’s all blurry and distorted. A frightened Nikki says, “I really don’t feel well at all.” An ominous Claire responds. “It’s OK. Soon, everything will be as it should.” Nikki responds, “What do you mean?”

Next, Nikki tries to get up but falls.  She panics and says, “I don’t understand. What is happening?” Claire just glares at her.

Previously, Claire spoke to whoever is working or plotting with her on a call, relating that she understands how important the mission is and she’ll do whatever is necessary. What is the mission?

They move these villain plots along WAY too fast. There is no build up. Ashland left way too soon. Cameron Kirsten was an unfilled plot that could’ve went much longer. Now this Claire Grace girl. And I am sure her revenge reasoning will be WEAK. This show needs a NEW writer.

I have been going nuts trying to figure out why Claire has this mission against Nikki. It’s definitely something connected from Nikki’s past.

I have a strong feeling that this girl.is truly related to the lady who wanted to kill
Nicky all those years ago.when the evil.woman had a thing for Victor his old secretary her niece an the lady wanted an plotted to kill. Nicky on her wedding day to Victor way back when but she never succeeded or pulled it off she killed some one else instead wow please tell me am l right or wrong will see how this planned out

You are absolutely right. I remember that scenario. This is the most logical story line as that is what happened.

My theory is that somehow Claire is related to Nikki’s sister, Casey Reed, who is looking to get revenge on Nikki for something from their past. Or, maybe she is Ian Ward’s daughter?

Does Nick realize that he and Faith would be dead if not for Adam. So sick of Queen Victoria being handed everything on a silver platter by Victor. Also, sick of stripper Nikki looking down at Adam. Adam is the one who has done the work. Wake up Victor !!!!

Yes I’m sick of them too. Victoria wants to be boss.Adam is Victor child he deserves something a position in the Neiman business. With out them rising hell.

Love the actress, hate the storyline. Clair would have been competition for Sally with Adam. Writers “missed the boat” on this one. We really need an equal for Adam !!! As far as Newman kids fighting, Victor is the one who instigated this. Grow up Victor and your children will follow ! They are NOT chess pieces !!!

I do not care for this character. I find her too gushing and over the top/ When Nikki introduced her to Victor, I thought she was going to curtsey LOL She is not believable. I do agree with Richard about Ashland being gone too soon – would have made a great foil for TGVN, as well as the Kirsten sl being so short. This one, however, I would be happy to see the character go sooner rather than later.

It’s about time Nikki get pay back for her crime drunk and driving she probably hit somebody while drunk I hope it’s Billy daughter she hit while driving

Must say I didn’t think of Delia. Regardless of whomever hit the child, Billy is not blameless, he left her alone in the car when he went into the store and she got out to chase the dog they had found. I was thinking it was someone related to Claire and Aunty years ago while Nicki was in on one of her drunken binges. Didn’t Clair say when she was first interviewed by Nicki that her parents were killed in an auto crash, sorry I’ve forgotten?

Nicki didn’t hit Billy’s Daughter

Claire bugs me so it’s easy to hate her.

If I’m not mistaken, when Nikki was a child, she accidentally killed a friend of hers (Joshua Cassen, I believe.) Maybe Claire could be a relative getting revenge?

I hate to mention the elephant in the room… but my worst fear here is that Claire is Nick Reed’s daughter with Casey Reed. Remember, before Nikki killed him, he had raped Casey—per her own admission. She was a doctor, and young in her residency… maybe she ended up going through with the pregnancy and giving the baby up for adoption? That wouldn’t explain Aunt Jordan at all, I realize. This is so disturbing I can’t even stand thinking it. I truly hope I’m wrong.

I remember that SL, but that would be Incest, right? J I thought that pig was both Nicki and Casey’s father?

I remember that SL too.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Did the ABC Soap Opera Just Tee Up a Jason and Serena Pairing?

Published

By

Jason and Serena

The Tuesday, October 6 episode of General Hospital kicked-off with Serena Baldwin (Kelly Kruger) literally turned upside down and stuck on the Quartermaine roof in front of Jason (Steve Burton), who came to her rescue.

This marked the first time that Kelly Kruger and Steve Burton shared any substantial screen time together since Kruger debuted on the ABC soap opera back in July.

In story, Serena was trying to save the peregrine falcons’ nest that Tracy (Jane Elliot) wanted exterminated. Jason agreed to help Serena relocate the nest to the nature preserve. Said relocation would be put in the preserve adjacent to the property, think where Ava (Maura West) and Drew (Cameron Mathison) buried Brennan (Chris McKenna)!

Later, when they returned to the Quartermaine mansion, the two have more banter where Serena told Jason they should both check themselves for ticks. Serena has done a full body check in the bathroom, but then asks Jason to go through her hair and look for any signs of ticks. Clearly, one or both may have ticks prompting suspicion if they wind up at GH with Dr. Isaiah Gannon (Sawandi Wilson) as their doctor who previously treated Ava for the tick stuck in her hair!

ROMANCE SWITCH-UPS

While initially General Hospital fans suspected that the character of Serena was being brought back to the canvas in the form of Kruger as a love interest for Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson), in recent weeks and in admission by Tanisha Harper, it appears that GH is teasing a Michael and Jordan romance. The two have been spending more time together at Aurora, and Michael helped her get accepted into the burn clinic in Germany to treat her facial scars from the car accident.

Meanwhile, after Steve Burton returned to GH after his extended hiatus this June, it was clear that the writers were heading in the direction of a Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) and Jason break-up.

Eventually, a few weeks ago, the duo called it quits after Anna (Finola Hughes) tried to kill Britt, and Jason would not help Britt press charges against his friend, who was suffering from delusions after being mentally gaslighted by Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) and Sidwell (Carlo Rota) and company.

So, what did you think of the scenes between Jason and Serena on today’s GH? Do you think Kelly and Steve have on-screen chemistry that you would be open to be seeing how it plays out? Weigh-in via the comment section below.

Sonny, Dante, Michael, Brook Lynn General Hospital

On the Thursday, October 1 episode of General Hospital, both Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson) had some things to say and what they had to say didn’t go over well with whom they were talking to!

Sonny had a confrontation with his son, Dante (Dominic Zamprogna), while Michael leveled with Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) over Chase (Josh Swickard).

GH is setting up a scenario where everyone is going to make it look like Sonny was responsible for having Sidwell (Carlo Rota) beat up in Pentonville; while viewers already know Ava (Maura West) and Drew (Cameron Mathison) were behind it.

A VISIT WITH DAD

Now, Dante comes to Sonny’s house. He wants to know straight up from his dad if he ordered the attack at Pentonville. Sonny flatly denies any culpability or responsibility, but Dante refuses to believe him.

Dante informs Sonny he has video footage of Sully and Vito at the prison. Sonny explains to Dante he doesn’t know why Sully beat up both Curtis and Dante. Things escalated when Sonny was deeply hurt that Dante refused to believe him. Dante says he was disappointed that his father didn’t respect him enough to be truthful with him!

Sonny asks Dante to consider that he was being set up. He says all he did was to tell Vito to instruct Sully to keep a watchful eye on Sidwell, not to harm him. No matter what Sonny said, Dante continued hammering him with how he knew deep down, even though he said he left the mob, he had to finish off Sidwell for himself.

Next, Sonny explains everything he has ever done was to provide for and to protect his family. Dante fired back that he doesn’t want to deal anymore with Sonny’s half-baked truths. As the two men argue, Gio (Giovanni Mazza) shows up at Sonny’s front door and overhears Sonny losing his temper and shouting at Dante, “Get out of my house! I don’t want a son like you!”  The scenes featured an excellent performance by Maurice Benard.

MICHAEL THE MANIPULATOR

While this is going down, outside the Quartermaine boathouse, Brook Lynn opens up to Michael about living at the Q’s with Chase being there, since he only came back due to legal advice from his lawyer, Monet Mitchell (Blythe Howard).

Brook Lynn questioned whether they should get legally separate. Michael insisted that would be a big mistake. When she asks why, Michael tells Brook Lynn to bide her time until Chase and Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) have an affair; then she’d have full custody of Phoebe.

An angered Brook Lynn pushed Michael into the water and accuses him of moving Willow back into the gatehouse with intent on putting Chase and Willow in closer proximity and sacrificing Brook Lynn’s family in the process.  As the two cousins bicker, Chase shows up asking Brook Lynn if she is OK. Michael punctuates their talk with “You know, I’m right.”

CURTIS FIGURES OUT A WAY TO GET OUT OF THE SLAMMER

At GH, Willow visits Curtis (Donnell Turner) in his hospital room. Curtis wants Willow to get him pardoned and keep him out of jail, and in return, he will help her nail Sonny.

Next, Willow tells Dr. Tristan Roberts (Dean Geyer) she wants Curtis held for observation for three more days. He agrees to do so under one condition, that she understands that he may need to call in a favor from a congresswoman.

So, what did you think of how Dante accused his father and refused to believe Sonny’s answers? Is this the end of their father and son relationship for good? Is Michael the most manipulative person of all, except for Willow? Do the two deserve each other? Do you want Chase and Willow to have an affair? And what of Curtis? Does he have many redeeming qualities left? Share your thoughts via the comment section,  but first check out the talk Michael had with Brook Lynn.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Ava and Drew Revealed to be Behind Framing Sonny for Sidwell’s Prison Beatdown

Published

By

Drew and Ava

If you thought that the person responsible for the Pentonville brawl that saw Sidwell (Carlo Rota) and Curtis (Donnell Turner) taken to General Hospital was Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) or even Sidwell himself, you were dead wrong! On the Wednesday, September 30 episode of GH, it turned out that the culprits were actually Ava (Maura West) and Drew (Cameron Mathison).

In story, Drew apparently bankrolled the attack on Sidwell and framing Sonny. He told Ava their planned worked (she came up with it!) but was horrified when Drew informed her that Curtis got caught in the crosshairs. Ava is visibly upset because of her longtime friendship with Curtis’ daughter, Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali). Drew tried to make Ava see the bright side. Curtis was witness to it and his presence will cast doubt on Sonny’s claims to that he had gotten out of the mob and gone legit.

Later, Vito shows up at Drew’s. They informed him that his guy on the inside of the slammer made a big mistake by hurting their friend and ordered him to leave town.

BOATHOUSE BRAWL

In other major developments, Danny (Asher Antonyzyn) and Rocco (Finn Carr) have a blow out fight as Danny blames his “brother” for the reason Charlotte was sent off to boarding school.

Rocco told off Danny for Charlotte’s (Bluesy Burke) reckless behavior and he explains he had to protect his sister. He went in on Danny saying that his mother Lulu (Alexa Havins) has been right to send Charlotte to boarding school and far away from Danny.

However, Rocco went a bit too far when he shouted, “And if your mom was alive, she would send you away too!” Next, Danny punched out Rocco, leading to a terrible brawl. An angered Danny yells at Rocco to, “Stay away from me and everyone in my family. And don’t you ever mention my mom again!” Danny storms off.

Now alone outside the boathouse, Rocco flashes back to his first kiss with Scout (Kayden Brenna Tokarksi), hoping that his fight with Danny will not escalate and ruin their budding romance. Meanwhile, a bloodied-mouth Danny heads over to Sonny’s and Jason (Steve Burton) is there at the same time. He then admits that he has a bad fight with Rocco and they are both beaten up.

WILL SCOUT WISE UP?

At the end of the episode, Scout, who had a fight with Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) over Drew, and who keeps telling everyone how good a man her dad truly is, comes upon a suspicious scene.

Scout hides behind the wall outside Drew’s. She sees her dad, Ava and Vito talking. Next, Scout seems to overhear Vito assuring Drew and Ava that their business dealings are done, and he’ll be leaving Port Charles for good.

So, what did you think of the reveal that Ava and Drew were behind framing Sonny for the prison beatdown of Sidwell (and Curtis)? Do you think Danny and Rocco’s relationship can be repaired, or do you think the teenagers will continue to be at each other’s throats? Finally, do you hope Scout gets a clue and stops thinking her dad walks on air? Weigh-in via the comment section, but first check out how Ava and Drew conspired below.
