Hey there, Lulu, welcome back. Glad you had a nice five something year nap

Uh, your daughter is missing off the face of the earth. Before that, she got shot (but recovered) and is up to some super sketchy Cassadine biz. I'm sure she's around somewhere, tho

The only brother of yours that we half remember is in prison. But his love child is ok i guess. Btw you're an auntie again

His other kid, your nephew spencer, is dead tho. Offed by his crazy ex who is the baby momma of said love child (cassadines, am i right?)

Speaking of dead, your beloved Aunt Bobby died

Oh yeah and your father is gone forever

But, hey, welcome back to PC

Victor is dead. Nikolas is in jail. Spencer is presumed dead. Valentin is back in his villain bag but it feels like they're about to exit him. Charlotte isn't anywhere to be seen (though she should be because it would be nice to see Jake confide in her about his family drama)The Cassadine family is cooked.😩

Just saw the news about Tyler Christopher, and I'm heartbroken. I grew up with him as Nikolas Cassadine, and his take on the dark prince archetype was unmatched, and one of the things that made me fall in love with GH. He was so talented, and deserved more kindness in this life than he received. May he RIP.

I'm actually shocked that Nikolas and Spencer reconciled today because I definitely was expecting to Spencer to be like this:

But no they handled things calmly and maturely. Nikolas didn't come here with the same old tired excuses; he owned up to his mistakes and he even wants his sons to leave Port Charles with him so now I truly believe nikolas can finally hand over his World's worst dad trophy over to drew.

Sidenote: Also shout out to the writer's for having Nikolas point out Spencer was most definitely Esme's victim as well. It seems like lately when people list who Esme's has victimized thus far Spencer is never on that list which is a shame when have witness her being manipulative towards and has gaslighted him on more than one occasion.

I did watch the episode, but tbh an entire week of sociopathic mooch is a special type of torture so I'm not paying attention as much as I usually do, just a couple of thoughts.

I'm glad the shifts in Nik that I was picking up on were legit and they had Nik express remorse to Spencer about how much he failed him as a father*. Nik failing Spencer the way he did was tragic and it felt like Spencer was the only one processing that tragedy. I'm glad the writers and AH in his performance remembered who Nik is at his essence. Nik tries. He cares. He feels it when he disappoints the people he loves.

That emotional core should always be embedded in Nik and I saw glimpses of the Nik I know in those scenes with Spencer. I also love how protective they're writing Nik and Spencer in regards to each other. Spencer wants Nik to stay and fight the charges. Nik refuses to let Spencer take the blame for being preyed upon and is the first one to really acknowledge Spencer as a victim of sociopathic mooch and her serial killer father.

It was damn near a perfect full circle moment to the chapel scenes, and I'm glad AH and NAC got to play a type of closure to those scenes. I still think it's embarrassing how hard Nik and Spencer are trying to convince themselves that demon spawn is a Cassadine (sure 🥴), but Spencer aiding Nik in bonding with demon spawn was sweet and another glaring sign that he is finally over his domestic nonsense.

All in all, so much of Spencer's arc got derailed by the sociopathic mooch agenda and it was nice to see Spencer's original arc, a boy desperate to reconnect with his father, brought back to the forefront for him. I think at bare minimum, it's important for Spencer's growth that he let's go of his Nik pain and this was a big step in that direction.

That was the resentment that made him so easy for sociopathic mooch to manipulate and weaponize. Her having any residual power over him was tied to the Nik of it all. By reconciling some of those issues instead of doubling down on them, Spencer is freeing himself of all of that, which is what Trina has been trying to convince him to do for a while.

I love the way that Nik always moved Gia’s braids back from her shoulder or her face. It was very sweet.
