I try not to predict anymore, especially when plot developments are so
often pulled out of thin air rather than allowed to develop organically.
But sometimes the writers can be heavy handed with their "hints" of
what's to come.
We've been hit over the head with hints of relationship changes of late. Notably obvious is the inexplicable "thing" happening between Isaiah and Portia. Inexplicable, because Isaiah is a seriously grounded person, and Portia is as lightweight and flighty as duck down. Opposites are said to attract, but *this* opposite? I don't think so. Surely he's been around
long enough to have heard her squeal and giggle, so how...? Ugh. Jordan
is more his style, but she's busy right now being seduced by dirty money
and playing hard to get with her ex husband.
Curtis told Jordan, "I think I owe you an explanation of what you walked
in on," referring to the time a few weeks ago when Jordan barged into Curtis's office without knocking, just in time to witness Portia and
Curtis getting hot and heavy on his desk (gross). Jordan isn't owed an explanation--it's none of her business what Curtis and his wife get up
to in private. Or in public, for that matter. And now of course Isaiah
has seen Curtis and Jordan together at the park and will no doubt run tattling to Portia that he'd seen her husband laughing and talking and
having a good old time with his ex wife. That news will make Portia
frowny and unhappy, so where in the world could Isaiah possibly take
frowny, unhappy Portia to restore her squeals and giggles? Well, they
*have* been beating us over the head with repeated mentions of Lucky's
cabin, so how about there? Hopefully, he won't impregnate the silly
woman, otherwise we'll have another baby daddy story to suffer.
A "hint" that wasn't as obvious as the Isaiah/Portia/Curtis/Jordan ones,
but still predictable by anyone who routinely watches soaps, is the
"thing" developing between Chase and Willow.
Willow is lost without a
savior (aka cult leader) to latch on to, and along comes sweet,
empathetic Chase to salve her pain and defend her against Carly and
Michael and other evil people keeping her from her kids. There's already
a rift forming between Chase and BL over the adoption thing, so how long before needy Willow drives a wedge into it and steals Chase for herself?
Can see that one coming, too, and it's probably still some miles away.
Or closer than it looks in the side mirrors, anyway.

He seems so sweet, but I suspect he isnrCOt. His backstory has not yet been written, I guess.
He seems to even be hitting on Willow, tho I expect her to soon be a
homeless bag lady.
He is a curious character.
Will he next hit on Laura? Because apparently, all men are eventually
drawn to her. Ridiculous scene between her and Brennan. Like, what
exactly was he quasi confessing?

So, instead of turning to her goofy mother, she will once again seek out a male savior, and break up yet one more marriage.
Remembering, that he was bamboozled by WillowrCOs sister Nelle. He has a history of being a soft touch and easily conned.
Plus, he is sad now, because Brooklyn isnrCOt ready to adopt. Willow is sure to be pregnant soon. Could even be DrewrCOs, but she will say Chas is the daddy.

You'd think she would have gotten *something* in the divorce settlement.
Maybe if and when Liz kicks her out for what she did to baby Daisy, Nina
will rush to her rescue by buying her an apartment. She doesn't know
that Nina is paying Ric, and thinks Ric is representing her pro bono
because he's such a great guy. Maybe Nina could buy her an apartment and
have Ric tell her that she'd won an apartment sweepstakes or some silly thing. She's definitely ding-a-ling enough to believe that.
He is a curious character.

Don't remember that--must have been a scene in one of this week's eps
that I haven't seen yet.

She can't turn to her goofy mother without having to drop some of her righteous anger, and she appears not to be ready to do that. But even if
she and Nina were to reconcile tomorrow, she'd still need a man to guide
her through life. Ugh. She needs therapy, but even then she'd probably
latch on to the therapist.

ITA. He's very idealistic. Inflexibly so.

daddy.
For people to believe that, Chase's sterility issues would need to turn
out to have been misdiagnosed. Not impossible, and maybe even likely! If Willow turns up pregnant with Drew's evil spawn, she'll be motivated to
try to pass it off as Chase's to avoid being sucked back into Drew's
cult. She's on staff at GH, and should be able to mess about with the
results of a paternity test easily enough. LOL! If GH ever gets around
to locking down their labs and medications, there will be few stories to tell!
It seems that the writers are seeking a new romantic relationship for Isaiah, after he and Jordan broke up so she could ambush Sidwell.
Also, it would serve the purpose of making Curtis jealous, once again destabilizing his marriage.
Although objectively Portia is a very flighty, foolish character, even self-destructive and criminal, I suspect we are not supposed to see her
that way. Often it feels like Portia is portrayed as an accomplished
doctor who will do anything to protect her family from the "bad"
characters who threaten them. To me at least.
There is one more romance that has been hinted at: Joss and Vaughn. I'd
say now it's way more than a hint, but a near certainty. What
repercussions will come from that, I wonder.

Bizarre.

Not sure I caught all of it. Nonetheless, I am sorry. I do not believe a word this guy says.

True on all counts. Bailey should have been given the bulk, if not all,
of Peter's estate in trust. That is, unless he specified otherwise in
his will. And since Maxie and Nathan were married and on good terms when
he died, you'd think that he would have left Maxie and James both well
set. But poor Maxie seems barely able to survive and is constantly
worrying how she'll support herself and her family.
Maxie also claimed Deception is her company, and that she built it. Am I

Yes! Lucy and Dominique founded it, and I think Scotty was a backer
early on.
There have been some confusing ownership changes since
Dominique died, a couple of which involved Laura and Carly, but I think
now the company is owned by Lucy and Tracy. Maxie is the creative
director or something, but she isn't an owner. If Maxie claimed it's her company and that she built it, maybe she was just speaking figuratively,
and meant she had put a lot of her life and energy into its success.

Brennan enamored of Laura? Can't wait to see what that's about! IAC,
can't comment until I do.

That secret op stuff had to have been total BS, unless that's the way
they're rewriting it. He came to PC a couple of years ago--way before
that Dalton guy showed up at PCU to conduct cold fusion experiments on beagles or whatever. But he made it sound like the op he was sent to PC
to oversee is ongoing. So if it isn't to do with Dalton, what *is* it to
do with (aside from total BS of course)?
Bizarre.

I've seen the scene now--it was with Carly, not Laura. That makes more
sense. I was wondering why Brennan would have been trying to vamp Laura!
Talk about bizarre--that really would have been.
It *was* a stupid scene. The whole purpose of it seemed to have been to
make us think for the duration a commercial break that he was about to
tell Carly what he had done to Joss. But since they couldn't very well
have him spoil that little surprise this early in the story, they had to
come up with something for him to confess without actually confessing anything.
FWIW, on the subject of Brennan, this current version of Brennan is just
not believable WSB material, IMO. He looks like a game show host and
sounds like Simon Bar Sinister from the old Underdog cartoon. Come to
think of it, Carly would probably have more chemistry with Simon Bar
Sinister than she has with this guy. But I'm sure that's just me.

It isnAt just you. Seems he was hired because he was so popular on another soap. Tabula rasa for me. He is bland vanilla. Unexpected, given AnnaAs earlier descriptions and warnings about his charm.
I was curious about his physique, so I googled the actorAs name for
shirtless pictures. He is in decent shape, assuming the photos are recent.
On GH, he nearly always wears a suit. Pretty sure it is off the rack. He doesnAt look dashing or exciting. Always formal. Nothing edgy. A whole different personality from the Brennan presented in his first year on
screen.
Maybe, if he would let loose a little, wear a t shirt or polo shirt like a normal person. Play golf. Put on a bathing suit and sit at the pool. (His chaise would be free).
Right now, he is a two dimensional dull character. I donAt hate him. I just do not care. Hopefully, he will become more intriguing in the near future. Otherwise, they are wasting a potentially fascinating character.
