He's just such a lovably bumbling douchebag. And Carly may have been smart for not dating him, but it was still bull****. They were perfect for each other. He's a perpetual screw up and she's a complete mess. What could go wrong?

There are definite signs pointing to a horizontal tango with Carly at the very least, but Franco has been creeping on just about everyone in Port Charles at this point. And Todd...that is an interesting character. Watching some critical back episodes led me to the gang rape saga, which is jaw-dropping. The actual gang rape itself was terrifying. The focus on the stuffed animal made it wholly sickening to watch.
I actually read that the reason Howarth isn't so keen on interviews anymore is related to that storyline. He was doing an interview, and a female fan screamed, "Rape me!" and he was utterly horrified, wanted to separate from the show and character, and really hasn't done a great deal in terms of interviews since.
And Franco is proving to be quite lovable. I have no idea why. Howarth seems to have a way of making the ****tiest people endearing.

I can't believe I didn't pick up on the blood cancer thing. I thought that he may have had something to do with it, but for some bizarre reason I wasn't thinking of it in vampire terms. Now it's ****ing obvious. Then he probably caused it as well as smelled it too. Too convenient otherwise.
|
The way I figured it out...my sister and I are watching GH, and they say that Danny has leukemia. I'm trying to figure out how Silas knew, as my little sister asks, "What kind of cancer is leukemia?" and my mom, a nurse, says, "It's blood cancer." Then I was like, "HOLY ****! SILAS IS A GODDAMNED VAMPIRE!!!"
Today cemented it, when Lucy accused him of being a vampire, and I am pretty certain she didn't mean it figuratively, because it's ****ing Lucy. Then Silas is all, "Yeah, we're staying in Port Charles now."
He's almost definitely going to **** Sam, though.

I've never been the biggest fan of Sonny before, since he was always a bit too stiff and boring to me, but that scene with Carly was actually pretty good for him. He showed emotion but it still had a stiffness that sold him as an emotionally distant mobster type in a way that had always been too played down for me to really appreciate before.
|
Yeah, Benard really stepped it up. Carly had really crossed the line, because it seems that Sonny had never stopped loving Olivia, only realizing this when she was shot, predominately in his name. It was a botched hit, and Sonny is taking hella accountability for it, and with these realizations that Olivia is so important to him, taking everything out on Shawn and Carly. The way he's playing it is almost perfect.

Shawn skipping town isn't out of the question I guess. I mean, since Jason has to be coming back at some point (I'm assuming he'll be somehow involved with that guy who's name I forgot who tried to poison the water supply who seemed to have been pulling Faison's strings) he would need to take back his position in Sonny's organization. Not to mention that Shawn and Alexis have had a steady relationship for far too long in a soap opera.
|
I feel there's a very good chance that Franco knows Jason is alive, and is exploiting it for some reason. He's also smart enough to have seen through Carly to know the hit was meant for him, and almost seemed to have some sense of the hit from the get-go, even before Olivia was shot. I feel like Shawn is going to try to skip town, possibly even packing TJ up with him - or trying to do so...but it seems like Shawn is really in it for himself, and wouldn't ultimately see leaving TJ behind as a bad thing; he'd probably think it was in both of their best interests.

Have you ever seen pics of him from the eighties? That curly mullet is quite possibly the fugliest thing I have ever seen. I don't even know if I could watch old reruns from back then just because I wouldn't be able to take him seriously with that hair.
|
I have, and it is deplorable, that hair. My mother and grandmother describe the storyline as, "Luke was never cute. He was never cute, but he had so much charisma, and Laura was so beautiful that no one cared about what Luke looked like."
Dude is dripping with charisma, though. They have a point.

Oh you mean right at the end when he was ****ing with Morgan? That was epic. You know he's crazy and he always plays it, and then he sort of counters it with some weird semi-normalness that you kind of think might be genuine, though you can never be sure, but every so often he just has a moment where pure crazy just comes through and you know that this isn't going to end well.
|
Yeah, he seems to have some particular mission to **** with Morgan. He's been doing it quite a bit, and Morgan's just a dumb kid. I'm pretty interested to see what his exact motivation is here, because ****ing with Michael would be so much more damaging, ostensibly.

P.S. Am I the only one who really, really hates Molly? I mean, there is a lot that annoys me about her whole goody-two-shoes character, but the thing that always trips me up is that nobody seems to mind that she left Rafe, who at the time was an almost perfect stranger, into her house where he could have done god knows what to her family. Not only that, but she LEFT HIM ALONE with Sam's baby. Not ever her own baby. There's being good to a fault, and then there's being so arrogant that you're willing to endanger others, even children, just because you have a hunch. If I was Sam I wouldn't let that moron near my child.

No, you're not alone. My sister is wont to refer to her as "that idiot girl," and my sentiments are actually much more scathing. How in the hell did she even find the time to write that next book with all of the stuff that was going on, eh? And her judgment? Severely lacking. I do think Rafe is going to end up killing someone within the year. They're painting him as this troubled kid who's had a lunatic father and has to cope with it, but he's not going to stay golden and good. There's something off about him.
Molly is a horrible judge of character. I'd actually not be surprised if Molly dies at Rafe's hands. TJ will try to stop it, of course, but Rafe is going to put her in the hospital in a coma, a favorite plot device, if nothing else.
