        So during the Curtis/daddy scenes, I had that song "Daddy's Home"  running through my mind!  Will be so interesting to hear the 'real' story of why he played dead for so long.

I've decided to start giving GH full reign to just do whatever the heck they want from now on. Because they sure don't care what I think, lol

There is no point anymore in my being upset because every time I want a particular outcome, and it doesn't happen. Because yet, I keep watching lol.

I'm no longer going to fool myself that I will quit watching if GH does, or doesn't do a particular thing. I am 66 years old and started watching with my grandmother as a little girl, probably about the time it began. Yes, Dr. Hardy, Dr. Brewer, and Nurse Jessie, I'm talking to you ♥.

No Jason and Britt if Burton bolts? OK. Jax leaving? Sayanara. Cameron Mathison as Drew (yuck)? Welcome aboard!

Trevor St. John (who I like) as Jason? Model that black t-shirt! Trevor as Jax? G'day Mate! Trevor as anybody? Ok by me.

Sonny and Nina (omg)? Throw that.rice! Yikes! Lol.

I couldn't sleep the other night thinking about Jason and Britt, and I was like this is ridiculous. I remember being SO upset when Lucky came back when Helena had him, and he wasn't Jonathan Jackson. I really came close to quitting over Billy Miller but obviously I didn't and I'm glad.

I think I cried over Jonathan Jackson lol.

My new goal is to start enjoying what is going on daily and forget the rest. If possible lol.

Not to say I won't get frustrated down the road and complain.  I will, lol. But I'm going to try harder to accept it is just a show, albiet one that I love, and am NOT going to give up on, at least not any time soon.   

Unless the show goes down or I go toe up, I'm staying. ❤❤❤❤❤

@BeckiWV I, for one as a GH lifer, feel the same way in that I will watch (and probably "b...." and complain) until the show is off the air.  I've invested 5 decades-plus...ok, put a fork in me....I'm done.

[Laura14]

Hasn't Scotty suffered enough? He just wants his streudel back. Tossed out of plane, drugged, beaten up presumably...this man is going to go screaming back to Heather Webber. Now THAT is a love triangle I would pay to see. 

Sidenote: GH couldn't get Niles to play the guard? Daniel Davis could have cameoed. 

And thank you for starting to break up Ava and Nik. The man has been clothed for too long and I have towels. 

Kip couldn't improv on his feet? Disappointed! 

And I love Val, Anna and Robert. Keep it up! Shades of the old GH. Valentin isn't Sean but it's a nice tribute.

The quote below is from the October thread. It mentions the possibility that the man who has been quizzing friends/family about Curtis is his father. Although others posted the same thing shortly thereafter, the first one was posted on 10-18-2021 03:37 PM CT.

Kudos to @mysoutherncomfort. She said it first.

Who is the older man lurking just inside The Savoy?  At first I thought it may be Marcus (Stella's former beau), but now I think it is Curtis' long lost and presumably deceased father.

When Curtis was relaying his childhood stories to Portia, he mentioned one day his father just disappeared...died of a sudden heart attack, I believe.  It was the word "disappeared" that leads me to believe dear ol' dad has returned.

Thank you @Tique for the mention above. Much appreciated.

And now I'll go out on another limb in that I suggested (ok and hoped) that Marshall will turn out to be a "good" guy in some manner shape or form.  And for another limb, I did enjoy the scenes with Curtis/Marshall today.  I am still crossing my fingers that this S/L has some merit or at least some "teeth" unlike most if not all the others.  Marshall told Curtis today..."it just wasn't safe son to return....."  Does this have to do with the 5 families and the two families that are now....kaput?  Please writers....give me something to hang Marshall's hat on.

GH Spoilers: Peter’s Latest Threat Is Life or Death

Diane Brounstein

GH spoilers for Tuesday reveal drama at the art show, outrageous demands, unexpected moves, and so much more.

GH Spoilers Highlights

Peter August is still on the loose and makes unexpected moves. Peter tells Drew Cain, in front of a worried Liesl Obrecht, that Drew will be the one to make his next diabolical move happen or he’ll die trying. What Peter doesn’t know is that Drew would have no problem dying if that means not serving Peter — and he’s already asked Jason Morgan do it.

Speaking of Jason, he tells Peter’s unfortunate sibling, Britt Westbourne that he’s got this. Sure, it doesn’t matter that he’s chained to a wall, his twin brother is programmed to kill, and her bro is a homicidal maniac who wants them all to die — no worries — Jason has it all under control! Um…wait, what?!!

On the Case

Back in Port Charles, Anna Devane and Valentin Cassadine may be terrific spies but even they can’t necessarily out-maneuver the entire World Security Bureau when there is something the agency wants to bury under the rug. The two reel from Robert Scorpio’s news. But can they rebound fast enough to go after Peter themselves? Lets hope not.

Elsewhere, it’s an unforgettable night at Ava Jerome Cassadine’s gallery for the opening of National Geographic’s Photo Ark exhibit featuring Joel Sartore and his photographs. Ava tells Trina Robinson that she thinks her night (after looking at Nikolas on the phone) may be taking a turn for the worse.

Artistic Issues

Esme Prince, through gritted teeth and hopefully not drawing blood this time, tells Spencer Cassadine that she hopes Trina has a night she never forgets. Here’s hoping she doesn’t plan to ruin it. There are enough on hand who are hoping to do that all on their own.

Take Gladys Corbin for instance. She threatens to go to Valentin, telling Brook Lynn Quartermaine that she bets he’ll be appropriately grateful after she spills all she knows — now that she caught on to BLQ’s latest lie. She makes outrageous demands. Ned Quartermaine asks a simple question — what is wife Olivia Quartermaine hoping for tonight? Anything can happen!

For those who would like to know what GH is showing on Thanksgiving and the day after.

On Thursday there will be an encore episode from February 5th. See below for details from that show.

On Friday GH will be preempted for sports stuff.

GH Spoilers: Valentin And Anna Close In On Peter

Diane Brounstein

General Hospital spoilers for Friday February 5 reveal a realization, a rationalization, a confrontation, and so much more.

General Hospital Spoilers Highlights

Anna continues to piece together information on Peter as the dots begin connecting — and the picture isn’t pretty. Valentin notes that obviously, he has been lying to them, but why considering how much both have done to protect him. Anna wonders what he isn’t telling her — but does she mean Valentin or Peter?

The latter shows up where he isn’t wanted and gets blasted for it. Britt lays into Peter when he shows up at Nathan’s grave. She wants to know what he is doing there. Was he stalking Maxie to see who she interacted with or is she the one he doesn’t trust? Was threatening her not enough for him?

Nina Wants Her Family

Nina returns from her graveyard-set epiphany and fills Jax in about her desire to get to know her grandson. He tells her he’s scared of where she’s going with this, which is certainly not the road to take if he’s hoping to reunite with her. Jax continues to stick his foot in things as he defends Carly. For a usually smart guy…

Carly appreciates any man in her corner but has her hands full at the moment with Jason. They come up with a plan but Carly asks him if he really thinks it’s going to work. Meanwhile, Sonny questions who he is. Showing he still has a lot of nerve, he tells his benefactors that he’ll stay but he has conditions.

Will Willow Make A Choice?

Chase shows up at Michael and Willow’s and Michael wonders if it’s an official visit. Doesn’t look that way because spoilers say that Chase tells Willow he misses her. But is that a big enough move to sweep her off her feet and away from Michael?

His mother was on a case but things turn personal as Jackie wonders if Finn has really thought his plan through. She really does figure out what everyone’s up to in no time flat!

I find myself kind of liking this new Victor after all, such a scalliwag, lol. I realize he is no good, of course, but that's ok, I'm enjoying him for now anyway.

[stevieb]

This is one of the most unlikable characters and one of the most unattractive men ever to appear on this show and why they would bring him back, especially at a time when they're already tanking badly, is just a gross mystery. If they want to incorporate an Asian component into their cast, then there would be far, far and I do mean far, better ways to do it than this...

@Tique...  Yes, another solid vote for I hope not... And incidentally, that initial premise about them being terrific spies is grossly erroneous... You think that was intended to be a joke...?

[WildDunes]

Trevor St. John could not portray Jason. He'd have to beef up a lot.
