Michael punching Drewfus was soapy. And Drewfus deserved it after telling Wiley it's Michael's fault Willow can't see him. What Drewfus did to Stella was messed up. If this isn't setting up a shooting or even a murder mystery, then I don't see the point. Also, how can I forget Jason and The Britch saw each other at The Five Poppies, with that ends another lackluster week.
Robert was charming, highly intelligent always outsmarted the criminals and always grumpy af. I will always have a soft spot for late 80's GH. And Mr. Rogers is one of the many reasons why. RIP

Though most veteran soap characters get a "send-off story" in situations like these, I think the best send-off for Robert might have already been written. Rather than a teary, flashback-filled funeral episode, I'd like to think of Robert just off-screen settled into a happy life with Holly, his newfound daughter and granddaughter at his side. He could in essence continue to be an offscreen presence even if he's only mentioned in passing once in a while.
On The Bold and the Beautiful when Darlene Conley died IRL, they chose to write her fan-favorite character off by saying she's on a long cruise surrounded by an army of handsome cabana boys and living her best life. I liked that because it allowed the viewer to imagine her continuing to be her wacky self. In Scorpio's case, he can always be a one-sided phone call away when/if Anna needs some advice on her latest spy caper.
I barely saw any of Friday's episode due to ABC cutting in for news coverage, but they did show Drew getting punched by Michael. It's too bad they didn't form a line in the Metro Court dining room to slap him around.

He's pi**ing people off left and right. Also adding Alexis, Kristina & Molly now by cutting them off seeing poor Scout, who he doesn't even spend quality time with.

The good news (for me, at least):
The not-so-good news (depending on your POV)
The frightening, awful idea that came to my mind (and I hope no one else's at GH)
Ryan Paevey and his fine, fine self are coming back to GH!!
The not-so-good news (depending on your POV)
He won't be playing Nathan West this time.
The frightening, awful idea that came to my mind (and I hope no one else's at GH)
He might be playing a recast Peter August, who is the person holding Britt hostage in Croatia. I love RP to pieces, but playing a hammy supervillain? ::shudders::
He’s sofa king boring. I guess Hallmark stopped using him, and just like Kelly, needs the money.
Feel like if you spend years bashing the fans online you shouldn’t be asked to return, but Frank hates GH fans. So. Some of us want Nikolas & Spencer Cassadine and Cameron, Jake and (an age appropriate) Aiden Webber on our screens. He continues to ignore the audience, along with lapsed viewers. They claim they want lapsed viewers to return; but refuse to listen to what would bring them back. Instead, they are bringing back people and characters no one asked for. One snoozefest after the other.

Frank seems to let his personal affinity for certain actors cloud his judgment sometimes, keeping them around because he likes them personally when in fact it would be preferable to write them out at the right time. Ideally, they would just hire him back to play some new role and not even acknowledge his resemblance to Nathan (the way no one noticed Austin looked like Franco, or that Finn looked like both Silas Clay and John McBain). He's close to the right age to play Dillon Q, for instance. I admit I just want him around for the eye candy....so sue me. 
They totally pulled a "Nicole Cavanaugh" on poor Maxie. On The Edge of Night in 1983, Nicole was the anchor of the WMON Evening News and was half-way into her newscast when she infamously dropped dead right there at the desk on live TV. A bad guy who was out to cause havoc in the town had poisoned her face make-up. I hope Maxie fares better than poor Nicole. She'll likely end up in Lulu's old room at Turning Woods.

Britt's Huntington Disease is in remission. Joss and Vaughn had sex after killing someone. Carly threw Nina to the kiddie pool known as the Metro Court Pool. Maxie had a heart attack after putting cold cream. Spin is pretty much a non entity. Popping in every once in a blue moon. I can't even remember the last time he shared scenes with his beloved Jason. Don't know why they even bothered writing out Maxie. They could've kept the temp until KS came back. Is not like Maxie is a front burning lead. She's a talk to sympathetic ear. And pops up for really lame Deception business. Just a lot of nonsense drama with no stakes.

Nikolas yes.
Spencer maybe.
But no thanks to Cameron, Jake and Aiden. They are too boring.
They use Kirsten's temporary leave to write in a mystery. Who drugged Maxie? For viewers, it's easy to assume it's Sidwell. He wanted to shut Maxie up because her plan to turn Sonny in didn't fit into Sidwell's plan for Sonny. But the people of Port Charles can't find out what a horrible man Sidwell is yet. He must wreck more havok first. And drag Marco down with him, I assume.

Regarding Liz's sons, Jake and Aiden are said to be "traveling" with Lucky. I think this might be an excuse to give the young men (I had to erase "boys") some edges when they return. Hopefully they have not adopted Lucky's laissez-faire attitude toward life (and hair-washing!). So much ink was spilled about how Danny had "inherited his father Jason's attraction to danger," but no one accused Jake of the same thing despite his also being Jason's son. It was a silly argument anyway, since Jason's attraction to danger was a result of a brain injury, not genetics. They always made it seem like Liz's boys were perfect little angels, so maybe some time off the canvas is in order.
Rocco's quasi-story about wanting to learn about his birth story was essentially a means to get Liesl back on the show. Which is fine, of course, but now it appears that Professor Dalton's story was also hijacked in service of the "bring Britt back" plot. I'm no fan of Daniel Goddard so having Dalton barely present for what was supposed to be a major plotline is no loss for me. It is funny to watch Goddard's 'big return to soaps' torpedoed in service of Kelly Thiebaud's.
Speaking of "birth stories," it occurs to me that almost all the kids in Rocco's circle of friends and family have similar histories, but you don't see or hear them getting all upset about it.
Leo's first few months were spent being raised by Brook Lynn (offscreen).
Danny's first few months were spent being raised by OLTL's Tea Delgado.
Charlotte's first ten years (!) were spent being raised by Claudette, the surrogate.
Bailey's first few months were spent being raised by Brook Lynn.
Georgie spent her first few months being raised by Dante and Lulu.
Avery spent her first month being raised by Nina and Franco (on the run).
Wiley's first few months were spent being raised by Lucas and Brad.

Oh God, it would be extremely insufferable if they all started boo-hooing about the past. It's enough that grown-up Gio is STILL angry. It's been months. Grow up, accept it and spend some time with your birth parents. It's not like he has to call them mom and dad or live with them.

Can Ava and Kristina be anymore dangerous to be around? I hope GH doesn't kill off Ric, but if they do, Kristina and Ava will form an unholy alliance for sure. Ava can still blackmail Kristina.
Alexis threatened Drew in public. Martin and Laura may have to remember hearing her afterall if Drew is attacked soon.
Britt and Jason still got it.

This conflict/head bashing with Ric/Ava/Kristina seemed to just come out of nowhere. I assume this is to "level the playing field" in the blackmail games (neither woman will be able to tell on the other since they both have dirt that can send them up the same river). I wanted them to pull Ava OUT of the Alexis/Kristina part of town and instead she's now more in the Davises lives than ever! I was unable to see today's show so I can only hope Ric's head is just as hard as Nikolas's was when Ava bashed him over the head. Knowing Ric, he'll just milk his latest head injury for all it's worth with Nurse Liz, so Ava kind of did him a favor.

Is the entire assignment a test for Joss?
If not, Jason to the rescue

I don't think Brennan knew how much more (hilariously) complicated this mission was going to be. They've given no indication Brennan knew undead Britt was there, nor did he know Colette was double-agenting him. Every time Josslyn turns a corner at that resort, she sees someone else she knows and has to hide. I'm surprised she hasn't run up on Jax or an undead Dex.
Now it looks like the stuff Britt is doing research on might be what Maxie put on her face to cause the heart attack. Britt will be heartbroken but maybe she'll make it up to everyone by being the one to cure Maxie in time for Christmas?

A preview scene shows Rocco and Danny spotting (yet another) a body floating in the harbor. At first I thought Colette, the double-agent might end up getting killed off by Brennan. But now I fear it will be that judge that Sidwell bribed in the custody case. Sidwell wants people to think Sonny or Michael gave it, but the judge could simply point the finger at the real briber---Sidwell. So the judge needs to be silenced.

No, they have not (yet). She avoided the subject in her all-too-brief interactions with Jason, though I believe she told him that her Huntingdon's Disease is "in remission" (thanks we assume to those injections she keeps giving herself). Pascal and the "big boss" apparently keep her in line by threatening to withhold her medication.
