Great job! My favorite line was from Sam about how to this day she wonders if Franco doctored the rape/not-rape footage because I wonder that to. The videos (and then the tumor, and then the out-of-nowhere sexual assault) were clearly meant to be redemption for Franco and ways to get Sam and the audience to forgive him. Spoiler alert: it won't work for me. Never. Never ever ever. And it is fifty shades of creepy that GH thinks it's a great love story to have a rape survivor (Elizabeth) fall in love with and marry a sexual assaulter that kidnapped her newborn son once upon a time, and it was fifty more shades of creepy that they married on the anniversary of her rape. Don't get me started on this or I will go on and on and on how bad the Friz relationship is. Cameron was much better when he rightfully hated Franco.
I loved how Sam and Jax worked together and played off each other to make sure Willow felt safe and secure when she told them. Jax running off to kill Matteo was great (hopefully he picks up Drew and Dante along the way!) and I laughed at Sam assuring Willow that Nikolas will protect Jax from going to jail from anything that happens. Lol. Good for Willow for not breaking Charlotte's confidence (like Joss didn't break hers) but still making it known that Matteo raped someone else.

Thanks ladies!
Chrissyfan, I'm deciding whether Charlotte tells Lulu first or if Elizabeth sharing her story gives her the nudge to tell her. But I am planning out in my head how Elizabeth tells them! I even watched some of her rape scenes so I know what she tells them. You're right, it was brutal. But I'm glad I took your advice and had Sam tell Willow her experience first. I think that made sense.
I was officially at the centre as of this past Thurs, but no kids yet. We've been setting up the classrooms and either throwing out or sending to storage all carpets, any soft toys, anything basically that is hard to clean. We even threw out the infant strollers-such a waste. It's been a lot of physical work. They said things can still change, but as of right now we will officially open for the kids on July 13th. I'm not sure if I mentioned, but I will be a toddler teacher this time. Three staff and seven toddlers in the room, so that will be easier that way. There is no infant room right now, just one toddler room and two preschool rooms. We got our class list the other day and 5 out of 7 were my babies, so I'm kind of excited to see them again. I'm sure they'll be huge now. Honestly, I'm up and down about it but going to give it a chance. At least the covid cases in my city are super low. Still not sure if I agree with risking children, but I'll protect the toddies anyway I can.
How is work going for you? How are you Foxy?

Love it! Sappiness and all. Sometimes you just need a good lovey/sappy ending to a chapter. I'm happy that Willow knows her combined parental units are going to be behind her and her sister and Elizabeth and Michael. I will be interested in Elizabeth hopefully sharing her story with Willow and Charlotte. While I personally feel that even if Franco didn't physically violate Sam, he violated her all the same but she was out cold and Elizabeth's rape she was not and it was as brutal as what happened to Willow and Charlotte.
Chrissy, are you still doing training via Zoom or are they opening your center soon?

I loved the conversation that Sam and Willow had. I also like how she acknowledged that while she loved Jason, she was also obsessed with him at times and thought she basically had to act that way because she loved him. I also love how she told Willow about what Franco did to her. I also loved the ending of the chapter when they both said they loved each other. Good chapter!

Gah! I started reading this morning and the power went out due to a crazy squirrel toasting itself on a transformer. I just got to get back to it...First! Happy Dance! I knew it was Matteo. I didn't pick up on the difference on which arm was amputated but I did pick up on his constant nattering about his betrothed and the scars. Second! I am so happy that Willow's assault is out and Drew/Sam/Jax are on it and believing her. Now Charlotte has to be brave and tell Dante and Lulu. I do wonder if Matteo created that accident to get Dante and Lulu from the house. Bad streak of Luck for him at very least he would have dodging a baseball bat but more so an angry set of parental units. Great update.

That was intense! What a good chapter! I'm so glad that Spencer told the truth that that boy who they thought was Danny wasn't danny, and I'm so glad that it wasn't ultimately Danny who raped Charlotte and willow. Speaking of Charlotte, I knew she got raped by Mateo as well as Willow even before everyone was talking about their similar reactions.
I can't believe how selfish Spencer's still being. I can picture Nikolas Begtell in the role asI was reading this chapter. Good chapter! Keep going! More, more, more!

Charlotte's alone in Dante and Lulu's room and Matteo was already turned away from Charlotte earlier in the day. I'm worried for her. But now Willow knows Charlotte was raped, too, and Sam and Jax and Drew are there. Hopefully Willow will be brave, again, and tell what Matteo did to Charlotte, and the adults can stay there to protect both of the girls.
I think that Matteo went to hurt Rocco because he couldn't get to Charlotte. I hope I'm wrong but that is what I think :(

Aww, Foxy. I would so loved to see your soapbox worthy rant. They are a sight to behold and if it involves our mutual long standing angry grudge at GH and the wretched, half baked, unless you are Sonny, Carly or Franco writing or total out of freaking character drivel Sam, Elizabeth and Alexis have had to endure. Because even if I am not completely a Sam fan even I can see the poison pen writing that has happened. Oh yeah, I would have jumped on the soap box with you. After I took a moment to applaud your rant.

Heartbreaking chapter. Willow very much wants to trust Sam (Jax too). At some point, I imagine Willow's behaviors are going to start clicking I Sam's mind. She won't be able to make the connection to Danny (who would think their 'son' would rape their daughter.) I am still pretty sure 'not so much Danny' assaulted Charlotte as well so I am also interested in Elizabeth telling Willow and/or Charlotte her experience and her survival. Elizabeth's rape was very brutal.
Yep, you have invoked the bloodthirsty in me, Harmony may not know what 'not-Danny' is doing but she is up to this in her beady little eyeballs, hope Sam wipes the floor with her.

I find it so sad that not only is Harmony in Willow's nightmares but Nelle is too and Dream! Nelle is taunting Willow that she should have been Sam's daughter all along. Poor Willow :( I feel so sorry for her and I'm torn between feeling grateful that Joss said something to Jax without actually saying anything and wanting someone to say something already.
Charlotte doesn't want to go to school and doesn't want Lulu to leave her side. Willow needs to find out somehow what happened to Charlotte and that will make her feel stronger and more apt to tell. I hope.
LOVE Sam coming over right on time that morning like she promised she would and I love how slow and gentle and patient she is being with Willow (I laughed at Sam's little shrug and "Okay, I'll just sit here and drink my tea and yours can sit there and get cold," haha), but come on, Sam, you are a detective. Detect. Willow is petrified of going back to the Cain house to the point she won't even go to greet Scout home, and she physically reacted when you mentioned Danny. I need her or someone to figure it out soon! (And Willow's mini-panic attack when she saw Dante.)

Alright, you had me tearing up at the chapter and I am not one to get misty eyed with fiction or tv/movies etc. I could feel Willow's pain and fear and the description of that panic attack was very real. I hadn't thought about it before but Joss is the perfect first person in her family to tell.
I hope things go well once the center actually starts. I can totally understand your reluctance to be in close proximity of a lot of other people right now. Banks are open here and I still go through the drive through and I swear the person on the drive through at my bank could not be any slower if she were stuck in quicksand.

I see my last review did not show. I would be mad but it was a long soapbox rant lol. Can’t even remember what was all on it. Chrissy I do like Willow n Sam I did a very long explanation for why maybe the site knew it was too much lol. ChrissyFan definitely like the compromise we work well together lol. I don’t know who gonna be more dangerous when it comes out Sam/Lulu or Drew/Dante. I also went into all the reasons Sam is gonna lose it about fake Danny. I’m too calm now but I was totally worked up talking abt why I won’t forgive GH for a few things. ChrissyFan you really would have love it n I think it would have got you on your soapbox about how they have treated Liz. We all would have had a good convo behind that post oh well.

Willow needs therapy, poor girl. Not just for the rape and thinking it was Danny who raped her, but her thinking that all she's done is mess up Sam/Drew's life and now she would mess up Jax/Joss' life if she stays with them, and that she doesn't deserve either of her birth parents or her new siblings and extended family on both sides. *sad face* Is Kevin taking adult patients yet?
I'm torn now! I want Joss to tell someone or say something where Jax and/or Sam would overhear, but I don't want her to break Willow's fragile trust and confidence...

I love how Jax and Josslyn were there for Willow. That was really sweet. I'm glad that Joss is going to honor Willow's secret at least for now, but I think Willow should tell Sam and Jax. Sweet chapter.
