Individual Points I Want to Talk About

 

 

 

 

MONDAY

01. Claudia, I’m not so sure that Carly wants Sonny way more than you do; she wants Sonny single and unattached so that when she decides she needs him, he’s available to come running. You know, Carly is a very independent woman. If they wrote her differently, I would never be surprised by a Carly that NEVER gets married (because it ties her down), and who is perfectly happy having scads of men at her beck and call. So when she needs a certain kind of attention, she goes to Sonny, or Jason, or Jax, or whomever.

02. Devlin, as an assassin you suck big time.

03. Alexis, you drive me crazy. Only because you’re so nuts over Jerry did you stumble on the right analysis: Jerry WAS there waiting for you so he could jump out of the bushes and hit your car. Of course, no one in their right mind would really believe that, but in this case it’s absolutely true.

04. I don’t know if you’ve noticed it, but there haven’t been any lack of operable head injuries since Patrick came to town, have there.

05. See? Just like Jason and Elizabeth, you can be so happy one minute and totally devastated the next.

06. Oh my god, Leyla is back. She’s been gone for weeks.

07. Let me get this straight, Claudia. You want to go into an exam room, about as private as Dallas Stadium, so you can discuss the fact that his attempt on Sonny’s life, encouraged by you, didn’t go as planned? Are you kidding? I HAVE THE SOLUTION, WHICH I’LL TALK ABOUT AT THE END OF THIS ANALYSIS.

08. Lulu is all over the place with Johnny. And when she finds out about Michael, she says, “I saw you put a gun to Sonny’s head, and you said straight out that you wanted him dead. Did you try to kill him tonight?” 
@ Excuse me, Lulu, but you seem to forget the night you dragged Johnny over to Sonny’s and both of you heard him say Johnny needed to be eliminated. 
@ And then you also seem to forget the night at the ball when Sonny put a gun to Johnny’s head, and told Anthony if he didn’t show up Johnny’s brains were going to be scattered all over the carpeting. Maybe Johnny should hire someone to take a shot at him.

09. Lucky looks great with a beard.

10. Kristina has a “go to work with daddy day”. That could have been her. You can’t blame Alexis for being shaken up by that, especially with everyone believing this truce thing.

11. YOU KNOW, IF I WERE A THIRD PARTY, THIS WOULD BE THE PERFECT TIME TO CAUSE TROUBLE. I recognize that it’s not true, but Sonny and the Zaccharas are so fixated on each other as the source of all evil, that it would have been really interesting to have all this being done by a third party neither of them suspected.

12. Even though you have Michael in such bad straits, there’s still that male-female jealousy and competitiveness. Carly’s holding on to Jason, and Sonny is holding on to Kate. The look on Carly’s face is priceless.

13. Jerry is absolutely right. What he needs to do is blow Devlin’s head off.

14. DO YOU BELIEVE JOHNNY AND CLAUDIA having an ANIMATED conversation in the lobby of the hospital.

15. Sonny, you look like a total idiot yelling at Jason. You don’t even know who ordered your hit, and already you’re blaming Jason for not killing Johnny?

 

TUESDAY

16. Jerry, don’t listen to Devlin. He says if you kill him and drop him on Sonny’s doorstep, Jax and Sonny will know you were involved. Bullshit. You have a lot of “friends”, Jerry. It’s amazing what information they can provide when properly persuaded. Be careful, Devlin, if Jerry really had any balls, HE WOULD kill you.

17. Hey, Jax, so they won’t clear the plane for takeoff? So get in a rented car and drive like a bat out of hell to New York. Or hire someone to drive you. But don’t just sit there and say you’re stranded in Houston. Only a lazy rich person would be stranded.

18. Boy, Nik, you are a real jerk. If you think Devlin’s non response to a page is a reason to threaten Leyla with losing her job, you’re dumber than you look. And you’re lucky that’s all she said to you. I would have told you where to take that attitude.

19. I can’t stand Patrick and Robin when they have to fight rather than perform surgery. Patrick, if you’ve decided that Robin is too involved to do surgery, then say so AND STICK TO YOUR GUNS. And Robin should be told point blank that the OR is where Patrick rules, and once he makes a decision, if she continues to argue about it such that she is interfering with patient care, then she will be suspended.

20. Carly, you’re being unreasonable, as usual. Now all you’re doing is looking for someone to blame. There was no reason Sonny needed your permission to take Michael to the coffee warehouse. Sonny has never had a problem there unless it came from the police. He didn’t need to have a discussion with you.

21. I don’t get it. People say stupid stuff in Jason’s presence all the time, and most of the time he says nothing. Now he’s getting all pissed demanding that Kate show Carly the proper respect, or she should leave? Oh, I see; because she didn’t stand there pretending to be deaf and dumb while Carly launched into one of her classic you’re-to-blame tirades. Stuff it, Jason.

22. Hey, Nik, you’re to blame for your situation, not Devlin. He was VERY CLEAR with you about what the pills would and wouldn’t do. Don’t blame him because you haven’t seen Emily.

23. Didn’t you LOVE IT that Nikolas found Nadine hiding under his desk. He asks her if she’s spying on him. I would tell him I was seeing if the location under the desk was big enough so she could give him a blow job.

24. So they bring Michael out of the OR and there’s Carly and Sonny and Jason and Kate right there??? I don’t think so. No OR has the parents hanging out right there.

25. If you were Nikolas and you saw Michael coming back from the OR being followed by a bunch of people, wouldn’t you be in shock? Wouldn’t you want to know what the hell happened? There’s nothing to indicate Nikolas was told about Michael.

 

WEDNESDAY

26. “Corinthos has been known to shoot first and ask questions later.” Sometimes I think Luke is the only person with any clear understanding of how people think and act, and why they do the things they do.

27. “Someone has got to tell Michael’s parents that he’s never going to wake up.” Ya think? I realize you don’t want to say something like that unless you’re damn sure. And If he ever does wake up, it’s nothing short of a miracle. But allowing Carly to think that just because Michael made it though the surgery that he’s “okay” is ridiculous.

28. THAT’S SPENCER? My god, in a few years, he’ll be going to college.

29. And while we’re on the subject, why have Spencer at the stables and then keep pushing the horse away from the kid, as though the horse was going to attack the kid or something? If all you’re going to do is push the horse away, then take him to the park or the soda shop or something.

30. Don’t you just love Claudia? She sure knows how to handle Edward. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH YOUR SISTER?

31. And while we’re on the subject, who the hell does Alice think she is treating Claudia like crap? Keep your place, Alice. Claudia hasn’t done anything to you, or to the Quartermanes.

32. Lulu, Michael is fighting for his life, and Carly is looking for anyone to blame. You come around asking her to put in a good word for Johnny to Sonny and Jason that Johnny had nothing to do with the shooting. This, Lulu, is where your immaturity and inexperience gets you in trouble. Carly has no intention of letting go of the notion that the Zaccharas did this – not until she can find someone else to blame, someone else to fill the void left by allowing Johnny to get off the hook. And there’s another problem. Carly will consider this an act of betrayal. How dare you, Lulu, think about anyone else but Michael? If you’re thinking about Johnny, then you can’t really be Carly’s friend. That’s how she thinks, Lulu. Get used to it.

33. Let me get this straight, Tracy. You want to get rid of a very rich woman, so you offer her money to go away? Are you nuts? Are you so arrogant that you didn’t bother to do your homework and find out what makes Claudia tick? Remember when Edward hired Sam? Remember how the first thing you did was call a private investigator? Well?

 

 

WEDNESDAY (continued)

34. KATE AND RIC? How about that combination? Their conversation was terrific. They both share similar experiences, including the feeling of being on the outside looking in. And Ric and Sonny are brothers, and many times brother share the same characteristics which make them both desirable to a woman. After all, Ric could be considered just like Sonny without the constant possibility of being killed in his presence. CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW SONNY WOULD REACT IF KATE “LEFT HIM” FOR RIC?

35. HURRAH FOR KATE! Finally someone told off Lulu instead of always making Maxie the goat. I’m sure Lulu thinks Kate is a real c#*t for what she said, but get used to it Lulu. Businesses don’t give a shit if your family is having problems. And go ahead and tell them you’re late because you were single-handedly stopping a mob war. I dare you. Businesses don’t give a shit about anyone but their executives, who run the business into the ground and walk away with millions in benefits. I hope you have plenty of money in your future, or a very rich husband, so you never have to work, or you’ll find businesses are all the same, no matter what they say. Or better yet, you can start your own business, and then you can treat people like crap, like every other business does.

 

THURSDAY

36. Prince Nik doesn’t know what a phillips head screwdriver is?

37. Nadine, please. Do you think a prince takes classes in basic workshop?

38. DIANE and COLEMAN? YES!

39. Lulu, one of the things I dislike about you is your what I call “rescue mentality”. You’re the first one to get all high and mighty when your father talks about your relationship with Johnny. He should mind his own business, and all that. But you KNOW he’s speaking the truth when he tells you that some of the stuff you do is just plain stupid. But see, you don’t care. You’ll go off doing dangerous stuff, screwing dangerous guys, and getting yourself in heaps of trouble. And as soon as that happens, the first thing you’ll do is go running back to daddy, or any number of other people (like Spinelli or Milo or Logan or Jason), and they’ll pull your ass out of the fire, and you’ll be on your way again. Just once I’d like to see you step in the middle of a mob war, or get into something you clearly have no business in, and nobody comes to your rescue.

40. I am continually amazed at Claudia’s energy level. It’s mind-boggling how this woman gets around. She’s with Luke, she’s with Edward, she’s with Tracy, she’s with Patrick, she’s with Devlin, she’s with Johnny – and all in less than 24 hours

41. What in the world is Robin doing at Jake’s? Can’t she leave Patrick alone for a while? She didn’t seem the least bit interested in seeing him, and then there she is. I’d love to see Claudia play with Patrick.

 

FRIDAY

42. The thing about Claudia is that she’s got a terrific, fast wit, and she’s not afraid to use it. She’s always got a wonderful line or two tucked away for any occasion, any person. But Claudia, good luck convincing Patrick that Robin did it on purpose. Whether she did is irrelevant because he’s always acted like she didn’t, and for him to believe you means that he’d be labeled a first class idiot.

43 . Sonny, why in the hell don’t you make two things very clear to Carly. @ ONE: You were IN NO POSITION to “save” Michael because he was too far away for you to reach him. @ And TWO: Since everyone knows that the shooter was looking to shoot you, reaching out for Michael would have done nothing but made the shooter follow Sonny. Then, with Michael standing right next to Sonny, it would have been a helluva lot easier to get Michael instead. Perhaps the fact that Michael was so far away was one reason he was protected, until the bullet ricocheted. And of course now the story starts being exaggerated by Carly to the point where Sonny could have EASILY swept Michael out of the way, but he cared about Kate more, and saved her.

44. You know, there sure isn’t much blood on the warehouse floor for someone that got shot in the head.

45. Nadine hurts her leg, so Nik just decides that she’s going to spend the night? Huh?

46. Alexis, stop screaming just because Diane and Max and doing it on the couch. Jesus. Haven’t you ever seen anyone screwing before? SHUT UP!

47. Oh, GREAT. Nothing like telling the woman you supposedly love that you don’t want her around because every time you look at her it reminds you of what you DIDN’T do for your son. Well, screw you. HOW INCREDIBLY RUDE. That’s worse than ANYTHING Carly said.

48. AND WHERE IN THE HELL IS JAX ALREADY? He could have driven from Houston to Port Charles EASILY by now.

 

 

SO WHAT SHOULD CLAUDIA DO TO GET HERSELF OUT OF THIS MESS?

@ Call Devlin, and tell him when he’s done with his rotation (so as not to attract attention) he needs to come to her house immediately.

@ When he arrives, Claudia makes sure he’s not wired.

@ She immediately shoots his head off.

@ Then she puts an untraceable gun in his hand, and with her brother’s help, they fire some shots around.

@ They MUST call the police, and this is Claudia’s story. X number of days ago, Devlin comes to her, and tells her he’s got a shipment of illegal drugs that he needs moved, and he wants the Zaccharas to do it. Claudia refuses. When Devlin asks why, she tells him that the Zaccharas have a truce with Sonny. Devlin says, “Is that all that’s keeping you from moving my product?” He leaves in a huff. Claudia and Johnny never think he’s actually going to try to kill anyone. After all, he’s Dr. Devlin. When Claudia hears of Michael’s shooting, She gets this terrible feeling in the pit of her stomach. Could a respected doctor also be an assassin and murderer? 

@ Then she finds out from her sources that Devlin is selling illegal drugs to Nikolas Cassadine.

@ After Michael is shot, she hears from Devlin. He’s in a panic. He comes over to her house . He admits that he shot Michael by mistake, and he begs her to help him get out of the country. When Claudia tells him she’s going to give him up to the police, he pulls a gun and tries to kill her. She kills him instead. Then she calls the police.

@ She’d get more sympathy if Johnny shot her in the arm or something, although I’m not sure you could get him to do that after what happened to his mother. Claudia couldn’t do it because it would be obvious she did it to herself. And unless she’s got someone working for her that she trusts absolutely, she can’t rely on any of the guards to help her, since they all seem to be loyal to Trevor.

@ Sonny might be slightly suspicious of Claudia, but they could get Nik to “confess”, or Nadine to tell the truth, and that would give tremendous credence to what Claudia was claiming. And Jerry wouldn’t be able to say anything, or people would start to wonder just how much he was involved, to have such a wealth of information.   

Carly is right about one thing: Sonny should have never gone to that warehouse without guards. I don’t care whose promised what to you, you’re a marked man, and people will always be after you. What if the person who was trying to kill you was a third party? That person never signed any truce. Here you are so caught up with Claudia and Johnny that it never occurs to ANYONE other than Claudia that there could be a third party out there, whose been waiting for just such an opportunity. NEVER should you go somewhere like your coffee warehouse without guards.

And NEVER be so stupid that you let your mortal enemy know that you’re going to be at the warehouse on Friday night. Remember how I said last week I was hoping that was Sonny’s way of setting up Claudia?

So Sonny made TWO serious mistakes.

Max also made a mistake, although I understand why. One never knows how Sonny will react to people not doing what they’re told. If Max had shown up and saved Michael, Sonny would have forgotten the whole thing. If Michael had been there, and there had been no violence of any kind, Sonny could have been pissed that he was there, instead of thankful that Max knew his job better than Sonny.
