[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 129801, member: 27"] I must say I was surprised they had that Nelle/Josslyn slugfest today, but hey--Josslyn IS her mother's daughter, and I guess it would have been sort of unfair for the much older, more scrappy Carly to inflict that beatdown in person. Was it necessary? No, mostly not. I think viewers would have been just as happy if Josslyn had given her one of those verbal beatdowns like Michael gave her the day before, with an accompanying bitch-slap or two. Brad and Lucas ending up with the baby was kind of what I imagined would happen, but the plotline loses some of its "oomph" when B&L have been virtually absent from the show for that past year or so. If those two had been more prominently featured up to now, I might feel a bit of urgency in the story. Instead, it's just a waiting game to watch the various parts of the story "unpack" themselves. Michael is a contract character while Brad and Lucas are barely on the canvas at all, so we all know who will end up the losers in this story...even though saddling Michael with a kid (eventually) when he barely has a life of his own doesn't seem like a very good long-term plan for him. Jonah/Wiley joins a pantheon of Port Chuckles children who have two identities: Rocco Falconeri spent the first year of his life as Britt's baby, Ben Westbourne. Danny Morgan spent his first six months as Tea Delgado's baby, Victor Lord III. Maxie and Spinelli's daughter Georgie was with the Falconeris for a period until they found out she was not theirs. Valentin and Lulu's "test-tube baby" Charlotte was raised for six years or so by surrogate mother Claudette. Even Michael has vacillated between being a Corinthos and a Quartermaine. I won't even get into the relationships of Jason, Drew, and Franco to Susan Moore, her cousin Heather Webber, and Alan Quartermaine. Suffice it to say their branch of the family tree looks more like a wreath. :) As it is, poor Bobbie Spencer will be introducing her "new grandchild" to everyone unaware that he's actually her [I]great[/I] grandchild. But then, she'll likely be grateful to shave those extra years off. [/QUOTE]
