So they brought Robert back so he could be shown up by Jason and Carly as the heroes who save everyone and bring back the antidote? Why?

GAH. Seriously. Robert Scorpio is a frickin' legend. He doesn't need Jason and Carly (of all people) to help him catch the bad guys or to up his cool factor. Because Jason and Carly are not cool. At all. I did enjoy the stuff yesterday with Robert and Luke--they are so much fun in their scenes together.

Oh, and Sam? I'm going to say this one more time:

SHUT
THE
F***
UP.

Hear hear. Ever since she's come on the show, I've been hoping they will kill her off. She is so annoying.

Why did they have a dramatic close to death scene with Sam and Jason when they had already shown previews of her walking around healthy. That kind of takes away any dramatic effect the scene might have had. Then on Friday they again show previews for next week where Sam and everyone else are healthy again before the antidote storyline is resolved. That's just stupid. And really, not enough people died to make the audience think this virus was such a threat anyway.

Again, Jason and Carly are the heroes who find the case with the antidote. Yeah, it was just left out in the open for them. I know soaps are pretty unrealistic, but the way this story with the virus and antidote has played out is really laughable. It's like a bunch of 8-year-olds wrote it.

I'm sticking with this for another couple of weeks to see if the focus is more on family/emotional storylines and not mob/action adventure. The adventure would be fine if it was done right with Robert and Luke, but I can see that won't happen.

Maybe the promo people have given up trying to make this crap look interesting.

Errr, am I hallucinating, or did I see a commercial today that said Sam has been revealed to be Alexis's daughter?

How are they explaining that one?

[Deleted]

So if Sam is Alexis' daughter, then Sonny just completed a hat trick? Eww. That just makes him beyond skeevy. WHY does this show get all kinds of accolades? WHY?

[proper stranger]

I'm just grateful that Sam is not, as I was fearing, in any way related to Robert, Holly or Robin. However, I am saddened that annoying Sam is the child of supercool Alexis.

The Luke/Holly/Robert scenes yesterday were good, particularly Robert's PSYCH! acceptance of Holly's proposal.

This show excels in finding new ways to make Sonny more skeevy while still trying to portray him as Misunderstood Mob Hero.

Sam is Alexis' daughter--what? That's what I get for not watching. Who is supposed to be her father? The gothic Cassadine lover in me hopes for Stefan...yeah, yeah, he was her brother and he's dead, but he and Alexis had the most inappropriate sibling chemistry this side of Jacob Young's Lucky and Coltin Scott's Nikolas! Helena always seemed to be flirting with her relatives. I'm not sure if Constance Towers is just like that as an actress or if their scenes were supposed to seem a little bit creepy.

Robert Scorpio sucked me back in full-time. I had been just catching bits and pieces here and there. Now I just watch evey day hoping I'll get a hint that Robert will be coing back to PC.

God help me. I love Manny. I mean he is mean and evil, but at least he knows he is mean and evil. And he never shot his wife in the head while she was birthing his baby.

He had the best line ever uttered when he made that comment about Diego having a pretty mouth and hoping they ended up in the same cell. I laughed for a good half hour. I hope he lives to terrorize Sam for many years. My only regret is he and Faith never got a chance to reproduce so their children could terrorize MyKill.

The best couples right now, IMO, Lorenzo and Skye and Tracy and Luke. I flove Tracy.

Genie Francis will return in the fall, in time for the twenty-fith anniversary of Luke and Laura's wedding.
