    The writing concerning the auto accident is getting a little confusing.

    Curtis freely admitted to Chase that Jordan took her eyes off the road.

    Did Jordan actually hit another car? I didnrCOt get that impression. I thought they got banged up swerving to avoid the other car.

    Was there an actual crime committed if Jordan was the inattentive driver?
    It doesnrCOt sound like a hit and run? Even tho Curtis said the other car
    left them for dead.

    IsaiahrCOs guilty look and behavior suggests it may have been him.

    It couldnrCOt have been the kids, could it? Because they didnrCOt just drive off. Valentin had to rescue them. Curtis wouldnrCOt knowingly implicate
    them, for ValentinrCOs sake.

    Also, if Curtis didnrCOt see the car because it was dark, and then passed out for an unknown period of time, how would he know what the other car did or
    did not do?

    The hook story was easier to follow.

    Also, P.S. Carly love triangle. In retrospect, I would never buy Mesure
    as a whiny infatuated child. McKenna pulled it off better. Still not
    buying Valentin falling this hard.

    I know this is probably nonsensical. What if it was Tracy who contributed
    to the accident. She was in the area.

    Curtis freely admitted to Chase that Jordan took her eyes off the road.

    Did Jordan actually hit another car? I didnAt get that impression. I thought they got banged up swerving to avoid the other car.

    Sounds like Jordan drifted into oncoming traffic, overcorrected to avoid
    a head on collision with an oncoming car, and ran the car off the road
    into a bunch of rocks or a tree.

    Was there an actual crime committed if Jordan was the inattentive driver?

    Jordan can be charged with distracted driving, but since there was no
    injury to another party (other than Curtis, that is), she would likely
    be ticketed and fined rather than criminally charged.

    It doesnAt sound like a hit and run? Even tho Curtis said the other car
    left them for dead.

    I don't think Curtis saw anything. Jordan might have had a quick glimpse
    of the other driver when she tried to steer her car back into her lane,
    but we won't know that until she wakes up. Curtis and Jordan were acting
    like a couple of hot to trot teens. He couldn't keep his hands off of
    her, and she couldn't keep her eyes off of him and on the road. They got
    so hot and bothered that by the time the kissing started, Jordan
    couldn't even be bothered to pull over.

    IsaiahAs guilty look and behavior suggests it may have been him.

    He was acting really weird, I agree. But he's a doctor, so you'd think
    if he'd nearly been hit head on by an erratic driver, he would have
    stopped to render aid if he'd seen them run off the road. OTOH, Dr
    Dimples has had a personality transplant recently, so who knows. Maybe
    he recognized the car, saw them run off the road, and thought, "just
    deserts."

    It couldnAt have been the kids, could it? Because they didnAt just drive off. Valentin had to rescue them. Curtis wouldnAt knowingly implicate
    them, for ValentinAs sake.

    The writers made the kids have an accident so Val would have a reason to
    be out on the highway in time to help Curtis rescue Jordan.

    Also, if Curtis didnAt see the car because it was dark, and then passed out for an unknown period of time, how would he know what the other car did or did not do?

    He knew that he and Jordan were alone when he woke up, and assumed no
    one had stopped to help them. But to say that the other car had left
    them for dead was a bit much. Maybe the other driver didn't see them run
    off the road.

    The hook story was easier to follow.

    Yes, and both stories are equally annoying. You know they're going to
    drag this out for months, milk it for all it's worth, then turn it into
    a footnote, just as they did with the hook story. They made a huge thing
    of Brook Lynn finishing off a glass of wine before picking up her car
    keys and heading out the door to go to Charlie's, then showing up there
    acting two ticks away from a meltdown.

    You can pretty much see that it will end up going something like this:
    Chase (who has replaced Drew as the Dudley Do-Right of PC) will "have
    to" report Brook Lynn as a suspected DUI at the time and place of the
    accident, CPS will withdraw approval of their foster application, Chase
    will blame BL for the loss and BL will blame Chase for being disloyal,
    Chase will run sobbing to Willow, and BL will lose Chase to a psycho.
    All because of a single glass of wine! That's some pretty potent wine.
    BL and Lucy each had a glass--there was barely half of the bottle gone,
    which accounts for two glasses. (Convenient that for the first time in Q Mansion history, the Qs' cleaning lady fell down on her job and left
    dirty glasses and an uncorked bottle of wine out overnight.)

    They're trying to intensify the suspense by having other people appear
    to act suspiciously, or in Danny and Charlotte's case, by putting them
    near the scene with a wrecked car.

    About Charlotte: Charlotte is grounded. Why does Lulu give her the keys
    to her car and allow her to drive all over the county? Lulu's
    permissive, vagabond parents likely never grounded *her*, so she has no
    idea what grounded actually means. She just hears other parents talking
    about grounding their kids and assumes that means anything goes except
    for airplanes, helicopters, and hot air balloons.

    About Jordan's car: It was late model (so described by Val when he
    called the accident in on a phone that has his fingerprints all over it,
    as does the crowbar and Jordan's car). So how come no alarm sounded when Jordan's car started to veer outside its lane? Also, at least since the
    60s, glass in cars has been required by law to be laminated, but
    apparently, the maker of Jordan's car never got the memo. Her broken
    windows had sharp, jagged edges. I'd like to know the make of Jordan's
    car so I can avoid riding in one.

    Also, P.S. Carly love triangle. In retrospect, I would never buy Mesure
    as a whiny infatuated child. McKenna pulled it off better. Still not buying Valentin falling this hard.

    Another personality rewrite, I guess. IAC, maybe it's just me, but I
    don't like either pairing.

    This does seem like a likely scenario in the world of Port Charles, even
    if it makes no sense in reality.
    Once Brook Lyn reached Charlie's she could no longer be charged with
    DUI, in NY at least. No one can possibly know her level of intoxication
    at the time of the accident, even assuming Brook was responsible for the crash. The portrayal made it seem more like Jordan was startled by the oncoming car, over corrected and crashed. No crime there.
    But on GH, this plot could definitely happen.

    to her car and allow her to drive all over the county? Lulu's

    I wasn't clear on this. Did Lulu give Charlotte explicit permission to
    use the car, or did Charlotte just sneak away? Again.


    About Jordan's car: It was late model (so described by Val when he
    called the accident in on a phone that has his fingerprints all over it,

    Neither of these relationships seems that cringey to me. Carly and
    Valentin are in cahoots with a plan involving a lot of subterfuge. That
    kind of connection certainly can turn into an emotional relationship,
    even a romantic one. Although Brennan and Carly did seem a little far
    fetched at first, it does work in advancing the plot.
    Now Sonny Corinthos and ADA Turner... That one is really super cringey,
    to me anyway. I hope it ends very soon. I'm feeling like Sonny's
    character really needs to retire.

    Justine is at an age and stage in her life and career where she has to have
    a backstory. Like a spurned fiance that shows up in PC. Or an FBI handler, possibly using her to unearth the Jagger killing.

    keys and heading out the door to go to Charlie's, then showing up there
    acting two ticks away from a meltdown.

    You can pretty much see that it will end up going something like this:
    Chase (who has replaced Drew as the Dudley Do-Right of PC) will "have
    to" report Brook Lynn as a suspected DUI at the time and place of the
    accident, CPS will withdraw approval of their foster application, Chase
    will blame BL for the loss and BL will blame Chase for being disloyal,
    Chase will run sobbing to Willow, and BL will lose Chase to a psycho.
    All because of a single glass of wine! That's some pretty potent wine.
    BL and Lucy each had a glass--there was barely half of the bottle gone,
    which accounts for two glasses. (Convenient that for the first time in Q
    Mansion history, the Qs' cleaning lady fell down on her job and left
    dirty glasses and an uncorked bottle of wine out overnight.)

    They're trying to intensify the suspense by having other people appear
    to act suspiciously, or in Danny and Charlotte's case, by putting them
    near the scene with a wrecked car.

    This does seem like a likely scenario in the world of Port Charles, even
    if it makes no sense in reality.
    Once Brook Lyn reached Charlie's she could no longer be charged with
    DUI, in NY at least. No one can possibly know her level of intoxication
    at the time of the accident, even assuming Brook was responsible for the crash. The portrayal made it seem more like Jordan was startled by the oncoming car, over corrected and crashed. No crime there.
    But on GH, this plot could definitely happen.


    About Charlotte: Charlotte is grounded. Why does Lulu give her the keys
    to her car and allow her to drive all over the county? Lulu's
    permissive, vagabond parents likely never grounded *her*, so she has no
    idea what grounded actually means. She just hears other parents talking
    about grounding their kids and assumes that means anything goes except
    for airplanes, helicopters, and hot air balloons.

    I wasn't clear on this. Did Lulu give Charlotte explicit permission to
    use the car, or did Charlotte just sneak away? Again.


    About Jordan's car: It was late model (so described by Val when he
    called the accident in on a phone that has his fingerprints all over it,
    as does the crowbar and Jordan's car). So how come no alarm sounded when
    Jordan's car started to veer outside its lane? Also, at least since the
    60s, glass in cars has been required by law to be laminated, but
    apparently, the maker of Jordan's car never got the memo. Her broken
    windows had sharp, jagged edges. I'd like to know the make of Jordan's
    car so I can avoid riding in one.

    Both good observations.

    Also, P.S. Carly love triangle. In retrospect, I would never buy Mesure >>> as a whiny infatuated child. McKenna pulled it off better. Still not
    buying Valentin falling this hard.

    Another personality rewrite, I guess. IAC, maybe it's just me, but I
    don't like either pairing.

    Neither of these relationships seems that cringey to me. Carly and
    Valentin are in cahoots with a plan involving a lot of subterfuge. That
    kind of connection certainly can turn into an emotional relationship,
    even a romantic one. Although Brennan and Carly did seem a little far fetched at first, it does work in advancing the plot.
    Now Sonny Corinthos and ADA Turner... That one is really super cringey,
    to me anyway. I hope it ends very soon. I'm feeling like Sonny's
    character really needs to retire.



    I donrCOt see Carly/Brennan/Val as cringey, so much as per Kaitlin,
    personality transplant.

    Both men are meant to be superior manipulators who, as a rule, have the
    upper hand in any relationship, including romance. That both are falling
    apart in CarlyrCOs company just doesnrCOt ring true to their character or training. They are both alpha dogs.

    I considered maybe Val is just jealous because he is competitive with
    Brennan on everything. Last year, he tried to kill Brennan with the
    polonium in champagne. Envy may well be a motivator for him.

    I considered how Val fell apart over Nina. I considered how he cares for Charlotte, and Bailey when he thought she was his. He is romantic and has
    some weaknesses. He is vulnerable right now, because he is on the run and Carly is his benefactor. So, ok, maybe.

    We know nothing about Brennan other than what Val has told us, and what
    Anna reported when he first showed: a master at manipulation. While not cringey, I just find it hard to believe he would get this weak kneed over Carly. Or anyone at all.

    IsaiahAs guilty look and behavior suggests it may have been him.

    He was acting really weird, I agree. But he's a doctor, so you'd think
    if he'd nearly been hit head on by an erratic driver, he would have
    stopped to render aid if he'd seen them run off the road. OTOH, Dr
    Dimples has had a personality transplant recently, so who knows. Maybe
    he recognized the car, saw them run off the road, and thought, "just
    deserts."

    I interpreted that as Isaiah being cagey because he was on his secret mission to help Rocco.

    That seems to be the most likely reason, even tho he was acting odd not
    just with Portia immediately afterwards, but also with everyone he
    interacted with when there was mention of Jordan's accident. Still, his behavior was probably just meant to keep us guessing.

    Yes, and both stories are equally annoying. You know they're going to
    drag this out for months, milk it for all it's worth, then turn it into
    a footnote, just as they did with the hook story. They made a huge thing

    Right. Even if Brook Lynn had been over the legal limit, she wasn't
    stopped at the scene by law enforcement and tested for intoxication, so
    there won't be any proof of it. The wine thing was probably intended to
    be the reason BL didn't stop--she might have been afraid she would be
    charged with DUI when the cops showed up. I don't know how it is in NY,
    but in my state, if you witness an accident but aren't involved in it
    yourself, it's not a crime to leave the scene without stopping to help.
    If Jordan wakes up and IDs BL's car as the one she swerved to avoid, the
    CPS might pull the foster application because not stopping to render aid
    speaks not well of her character. If that should happen, Chase is sure
    to go running straight to Willow. But maybe all of this has already been resolved--usually I don't have a chance to watch GH until the weekend,
    and haven't yet seen any episodes this week.

    I don't recall the exact "grounding" restrictions, but don't think the
    car was one of them. Or if it was, Lulu allowed limited use of it, and Charlotte defined "limited" far more broadly than Lulu intended.

    That is true. I don't find Carly's relationship with either guy cringey, exactly. They're just...I dunno...odd pairings. Carly is a fairly
    shallow person--hardly the intellectual equal of an international spy.
    She was fairly matched with Jax the surfer dude, and Sonny the mob boss.
    But with a spy? It doesn't work. At least for me, anyway.

    Now Sonny Corinthos and ADA Turner... That one is really super cringey,
    to me anyway. I hope it ends very soon. I'm feeling like Sonny's
    character really needs to retire.

    Agree completely. Now, that's a cringey pairing! It's not the age
    difference that's cringeworthy, it's that Sonny has lost much of his
    charisma and appeal as a romantic lead, and the two just don't fit well.
    IMO, anyway. Funnily enough, although Sonny and Sidwell are the same
    age, a Turner/Sidwell pairing wouldn't be nearly as cringey to me. But
    that could be because the actors are married IRL.

    In real NY, I'd say Brook Lyn had no legal obligation to stop, assuming
    she's being truthful about not seeing Jordan's car leave the road and
    crash. If she actually saw it, she should have stopped to await the
    arrival of police. And it would be a crime to leave the scene. Brook
    Lyn's car was involved in the accident, even if Jordan bears most or all
    of the blame, and even if the cars never touched. She is required to
    stop and speak to police.
    In either case, real NY requires a report to state DMV for any accident causing more than a certain amount of damage, I believe it's $1000.00,
    so just about any accident. Tracy will probably tell Brook Lyn to skip
    that requirement.
    That's not to say Brook Lyn in any case should not have checked to at
    least confirm that the other driver was Ok. It is the decent thing to
    do. Which could impact both her foster parent status and her
    relationship with Chase.

    reveal!

    Good call. Tracy fixes problems for the Qs like Jason fixes them for

    If the incident had happened in my state, BL would have been required to
    stop at the scene and contact law enforcement because her evasive
    maneuver to avoid a collision had resulted in damage to her car and to
    the guardrail she sideswiped. ITA that if she had known the other car
    had run off the road and crashed, it would have been really awful of her
    not to have stopped to help, even if not required to do so. BL told
    Tracy (and the baby, LOL!) she didn't know Jordan had crashed, but even
    so, the very least she should have done was to contact the cops to alert
    them of an erratic driver on the highway.

    About BL's confession to the baby...if she makes of habit of confessing
    to the baby, then it's just a matter of time before Chase or Dante or
    one of the eavesdropping Qs get an earful. It was hilarious that in the
    middle of her confession she went over to close the door to make sure no
    one would hear, then came back to the baby and said something like,
    "anyway, as I was saying...." LOL! That baby is getting a real trial by
    fire initiation into the Q family, and this is only its first day!
