Well, I guess we all now get what happened to Liesl. Helena's resurrection would be neat, but at 88 you have to think Constance Towers isn't interested in making a huge commitment. Instead, we've got Victor.

@stevieb  there are a few of us who would love to see her make a brief appearance. Since we know that not every actor is taking precautions I wouldn't want her anywhere near that set.

---

Just to interject... From one end of the age spectrum, the kiddies, to the other end, the elders... Not so sure about Towers/Helena making a guest appearance... I always enjoyed Ms. Towers, here and elsewhere, but I recall it was a bit of a shock and a bit disheartening to see Denise Alexander show up as Leslie... Recently, Days brought Marla Gibbs in to play Jackee's mother on the show and once again, sort of disheartening... Hey, we all age, but seeing some of our past favorites as they are now really brings it home... Not even to mention that some of them, understandably, aren't the 'spot on' perfomers they once were...

---

@stevieb The highlighted part of your comment made me think of something my mom used to say...it went like this:  So and So was a great actor/actress/singer/dancer, etc in his/her day, but some people just don't know they don't have it anymore and don't know when to retire gracefully so that we can remember them as they once were.  My mom was right.

One time in the 80's I was in LA, and happened to go to a live show of Joan Rivers taped at 5 pm for a late night showing. One of her guests was an aged Mickey Rooney. It was embarrassing as he rambled on in confusion. Finally at break, his then wife came out and escorted him off the stage. They said he had another engagement. I doubt it. He showed no knowledge of that and was surprised when he was taken off.  He is one who needed to stay home and rest on his laurels. It was so sad.

What Nik and I do is none of @stevieb 's business. I edited that part for privacy.  

And Esme can bring it! Just try and go after my Nik! 

Seriously, watch Esme switch to Nik because Daddy has the money bags and Spence can be cut off just like he was in front of her.   No charge account for you!

That will make Ava jealous as we switch stalkers and have a love triangle or quintuple just like that. Trina will get her man back. Just wait for Esme to get tired of the boy and move on to the man. And when she does, I'll be waiting...

Oops almost forgot to give credit to another. After reading the post below I made a mental note that this would be a great topic for a QOTM. @DLew  thank you.

Mike at the race track reminded me of one of those pesky unfinished storylines: Mike leaves Sonny a partially owned racehorse. Also, when will Lois make it to Port Charles after Brooklyn's throat was slashed? When will the DNA test results come back on that baby blanket after from Carly (not) pushing Nell? Those scenes should have been left on the cutting room floor. 

---

Okay okay I admit it. What really caught my attention was you mentioned GASP: "the baby blanket".

You really should stop this obsession. People are going to think you need help.

@Tique. I never thought if Victor as important.  He showed up supposedly running  the WSB, but, he was involved in all the shady dealings at Creighton Clark.  They weren't patients, they were prisoners.   Didn't he believe that he was Nathan's father?? I thought Obrecht told him that Faison was the Daddy, just before shooting him.

OMG, just what this soap needs...another of the undead!!!  And why Victor now?????

Last night I just wanted to have someone throw the drunken parasite in the trunk of a car and head to the Pine Barrens.  The woman is sooooooo annoying!

We have a new nickname!!  Druken Parasite!!   BAHAHAHAHAHA

@grandma r I thought the same thing because he's so ingrained in my mind as Mr. Sheffield but I also remember him vaguely from DOOL.

He honestly surprised me with how well he did and I was glad they didn't cover up his English accent even though my guess is he is really supposed to be Greek or is it Russian? I can't keep track of the Cassadines anymore but I am sure Victor was educated in criminality at Eton hence the Queen's English.  

I'm waiting for Valentin's face when Victor pops up. Poor Valentin is losing a kid, possibly the CEO seat, and the main baddie title in the C family although Spencer is bucking for it big time.

And BTW, I keep meaning to say this but is there anyone else who wants to take a weed wacker to Esme's hair? It bothers the you know what out of me. Crystal Gayle she is not.  

---

Two of the many reasons why I love and missed you so much, @Laura14 .  I, too, was impressed with CS portrayal of Vik, and I have no words for the Crystal Gayle blast!  HILARIOUS!!!!

The Bachelor Party:  Renting out The Savoy for a private bachelor party for Jason?  Really?  I vote for "lamest" party ever...Spinelli, Mikey and the groom to be, Jason.  All 3 ending up in fisticuffs with Joey Novak and his crew.  Then off to the pokey.  Yeech!  What garbage.

The Bachelorette Party:  OK, who didn't enjoy Brando?  Still, this party consisted of Bobbi, Olivia, Joss, Sasha and Willow and the bride to be.  Again, rather lame, but at least their was some "eye candy" for us gals.

Brando was the highlight of my entire holiday weekend!  He got some moves!

I am hoping too that the Nina and Sonny storyline gets over.  I also hope that when Sonny sees Carly for the first time that his memory immediately returns.  I sure do not want to see the romance with Nina continue.  This has got to be ended before the nuptials.  I also was wondering about the wedding date when it was mentioned that the wedding is "tomorrow."  Thought that I did not remember correctly as well and with me, that could be.

---

I think there could be much more of an interesting s/l if Sonny does NOT regain his memory and chooses Nina over Carly.  Just imagine what could come out of that!  Forcing Jason and Carly to remain married and to have Carly watch as Sonny swoons over Nina and does not remember his life!

@RainCityWoman  Violet does nothing for me either... Her little baby doll voice and overall act is just bad...let's not blame the actress...see below IMO....

From what I recall, yes, Donna is "cured"; no more peril lurking.  Agree, we have SORAS going on here with Donna, but what else is new.  As for Violet, here's what I think...this very young lady is a beautiful little girl and THAT is exactly what TPTB on GH are/were looking for.  Does she in real life really speak that way?  We don't know; is she being "coached"/"directed" to deliver her lines that way?  I say that's a big "yes" possibility.  Let's face it, GH is going for pre-pubescent beauty and over the top absolute adorableness.

---

---

I am so happy that someone brought this up!  IF the little girl does NOT normally speak like she does on the show, I feel that this is a shame that Hollywood is making her speak in a way that caused me to spend so many endless hours in speech therapy as a young child.  If this is truly her natural speaking voice, then no problem.  But otherwise, shame on ABC, GH AND most importantly HER PARENTS

That being vented, I do not care for the character either.

@redwingsgal  I agree with you and if it had been done differently I could have even embraced it. How many times have Sonny and Carly divorced so one more time wouldn't have been that big of a deal to me. What I can't get past is the depth of the deception Nina has perpetrated. If she didn't feel what she was doing was wrong she would have told Sonny months ago. A lot of comments where people are okay with Nina giving Carly "a taste of her own medicine" seem to forget that Nina isn't just doing this to Carly. This goes so far beyond Carly. What about Sonny's children and the rest of their family? What about the grandson they share? There's no way I could pull for Nina to come out of this without suffering some serious repercussions. 

Jax I don't like you but PLEASE do the right thing. Even if it's for the wrong reason.

So.... where is Carly? Kidnapped, runaway, or visiting Sonny's empty grave to get his blessing?
