Yeah it really has seemed that since we wrapped up the Peter story the writers just have no roadmap to where to go with anything.  The following are total snoozes: Marshall and everything he touches, Amy having issues with Terri, Michael and Willow (even grosser than usual straight sex and I bet she yells WILEY when she nuts), Jordan in just general, Austin and Maxie, etc. This has been the worst sweeps in terms of stakes in EONS and it’s shocking to me that this is what they put on in May???

I really cringe when they talk about Bobbie being a prostitute because what they should call it was (since she was underage) a victim of sexual exploitation. I get how in the 70s it would have been very easy to victim blame a child prostitute but these days we know better and shaming a victim of sexual abuse for the abuse is never ok.

Oh when Ava got right in Esme’s face I was like someone is getting CUT…

I wonder how much of Ava’s story has been put off due to Charles Shaughnessy having his surgery because it feels like this is a major thing involving the Cassadines and they were positioning her as spying on him?  I trust something good is coming even if we don’t have it right now.

Yeah because the others were in class and she was in the cemetery for some reason …

She’s referring to the fact that Spencer is her alibi but telling would reveal that he was on an unauthorized leave from Spring Ridge.  That would break the terms of his probation and probably land him back in jail.

NLG is back to shooting so probably sometime later this month would be my guess. Shaughnessey I’m less sure about because a lot depends on how his recovery goes. I for sure don’t expect to see many scenes at least at first where he isn’t just sitting.

So the quick answer to your question about how the court would view Nina’s case would be 3 factors to take into consideration if Nina visiting Wiley is in the “best interest of a child”:

a. whether grandparent(s) and grandchild have a pre-existing relationship;

b. whether grandparent(s) supports/undermines a grandchild’s relationship with parents

c. whether there is any animosity between the child’s parents and the grandparent(s).

 

None of these factors are in and of themselves dispositive. It’s more a balancing test. This is not something given how New York law is written that I’d feel certain should go one way or the other but again this is a soap so, anything can friggin happen …

I wonder assuming Nancy Lee Grahn submitted the standalone episode how it got cut down. There’s a lot of good stuff in it and I hope they preserve the “fighter, idealist, advocate” theme because it’s just sublimely done.

Agreed. I don’t care for nuJordan either as she’s still the worst commissioner but every new actress who plays her just makes her more of a pathetic sad sack.  Also, we do remember she’s supposed to be the mother of a DOCTOR? Why are they casting out of a pre school?

Already don’t care about Dex.  Sonny why are you taking walk ups? This like so much of his business just makes no sense when you squint just a little bit…

Just like when Michael was a baby everyone has forgotten who matters most in this battle over access to Wiley and that’s Wiley.  In a way I’m glad that is happening but I wish someone would point it out.  But I guess if we all keep watching in 25 years we will be right back here watching Wiley do the same damn thing …

Austin just sucks. I’m kinda digging the idea of Maxie having to deal with pre teen Georgie and her potentially being hell on wheels like her mother.

Anyone else think its weird Chase wouldn’t reach out to Willow or Sasha given what’s happened? I’m game for him and Violet and/or Brooklyn in scenes but it feels odd…

The Primetime Emmys don’t make them watch the tapes and haven’t for years; that’s why we get sweeps now…

Just putting this out there: Violet is the best child character this show has had since Emma and Nicholas Bechtel’s Spencer. She brings out the best in all the adults she has scenes with.
