  - Best or worst storylines; OK, so it's not really a S/L.  My question to the writers/Frank is .... what is the purpose of Auntie Stella?  Seriously, the actress is delivering her lines as written...but what is her purpose on GH?  She comes, she pontificates, she leaves, she returns, she asks for forgiveness, more pontificating...what is the purpose of this character?...

@mysoutherncomfort   I was a bit confused because this didn't have anything to do with Ava which was the QOTM "Best or worst storylines". Moving on...I will respond to your question with my thoughts. 

When the character of Stella first appeared she actually did have a purpose; it's different than her purpose three six years later. In addition to giving Curtis an older supposedly wiser family member, she was a friend and source of support to Mike and his family after his diagnosis. She also tried to prepare TJ for the issues he would face while being in an interracial couple but she never waived in her support. Vernee Watson, the actress who plays Stella is in her early-70s. Some of my friends and family are in same age group. For me she's never stood out but I admired her acting abilities.

Stella and Jordan always had a contentious relationship which was understandable because Jordan had been married to one of her nephews, Tommy, while having an affair with that nephew's best friend which resulted in TJ. When Stella accidentally found out TJ was not Tommy's son [which meant she and TJ have no biological connection} this added even more reasons for disliking Jordan. No problem with that; I felt the same way.

It was predictable when she realized Jordan was involved with Nephew #2 Curtis, she wouldn't like it. After telling both of them separately and together how she felt it should have been the end of it but she couldn't let it go. She seldom lets anything go which has lead to people thinking she's a bitter meddling witch. Her purpose now: To meddle, give her opinion whether wanted or not, try to rectify everyone else's mistakes, and look down her nose at the people who don't meet her lofty rigid standards.

Let's not forget she doesn't even meet her own "lofty rigid standards". Who stood by and let Jordan take the blame for not mailing those divorce documents all those months ago...Stella, thy name is Hypocrite.

You may have mentioned this, but Stella kept the truth about Curtis's father all those years.

I just watched Friday's episode this morning. You mean to tell me that Victor had the evidence that would have exonerated Trina all along and put Esme in prison where she belongs and he said Nothing? He knew how Spencer felt about Trina. Good grief. That scoundrel was omni present in everyone's lives, controlling it like a puppet master. They might as well bring in a wizard in the storyline to wave a wand.  It just stretches credulity on a daily basis. Shouldn't the scripts have a minimal connection to reality?

@RainCityWoman   nope I didn't. Thank you. Additional proof that "Auntie" isn't the phenomenal woman she would like All to think she is.

BIG shout out to the late Maya Angelou for Phenomenal Woman.

I did get a chuckle when Ava called Austin "Dr. GH".  As for scummy Cuz' Mason, the actor does look the part...type casting.
