Wow Nelle has no idea how to take care of Wiley and she is so controlling and is giving off major creepy cult leader vibes. And those necklaces she took them from her and Nina and Willow. So Sam, Esme and Nelle are supposed to be what she didn't get to have with Nina and Willow. It was beyond creepy when she put the necklaces on them and kissed their cheeks.
Awe poor Felicia is second guessing everything that she is doing as a mother. She's an amazing mother and I'm glad that Esme is realizing that now and wants to go home but I have a feeling that Nelle's not going to make it easy for her at all now. I have a bad feeling she's going to do something to Felicia when she shows up in the morning to pick Esme and Ace up.
Michael is finally realizing now how wrong her was to side with his mother and take Willow to court over the kids by doing that he played right in Nelle's creepy hands. I have a feeling something bad is going to happen to Wiley too since she has absolutely no idea how to properly care for him.

I liked the Sam and Elizabeth scenes too. They actually did become friends on the show. Maybe not best friends, but they do hang out and they burned some of their belongings that attached them to the men in their pasts together. And they played baseball together with Finn and Dante. I personally have always wanted them to be friends.
I really liked Spinelli, Maxie, and Lucas' visit with Sam too. And the scenes on Monday weren't horrible, just awkward more than anything. Sam met Jason and Drew together so she wasn't even alone with Jason. She was dropping the kids off at the Qs since they'll be staying there during the surgery (and I won't be surprised if they stay there when Sam dies. But I'm still hoping they end up with Alexis). She just wanted them both to spend time with the kids while she's in the hospital. She hugged Drew but not Jason LOL.
So far I think the main focus has been on her kids, her mom and sisters, and Dante. And Jason is spoiled to be with Carly at the end of the week so hopefully Sam's death isn't all focused on him. While Samtrick and Dream (BM's Drew) are my favourite Sam pairings, I have enjoyed Sante. I'm just so happy she didn't reunite with Jason super fast before she dies. That would've ruined all her character growth.
I understand how you feel about Lucky. I hated Laura making excuses for him abandoning Aiden (and also Cam and Jake). Saying he had to pursue his dreams, blah blah. So disrespectful to children in real like who have deadbeat fathers and experience serious affects from it. But I would personally prefer Elizabeth with Lucky over Ric.

Frisco is losing his mind if he thinks he can waltz back in after 20 plus years and get Felicia back.
That was a great talk between Esme and Cam and I thought she was really listening to him but alas she did not. She seems to know that Nelle is not exactly who she says she is and yet she is still willing to move her infant son in with someone she doesn't know and yes, it feels very manipulative to me. Great update
RE: the show. I haven't watched a show since Nina and Sonny go married. Sometimes clips are posted at a liason fan site that I go to and I did watch the clip of Sam and Dante talking to the kids about the transplant and that was well done. I also saw one where Elizabeth and Sam were talking in Sam's room. Elizabeth and Sam are not BFF's but it think it was appropriate and since Becky and Kemo are great friends it was nice that they could get a scene together.
I figured at some point Sam would forgive Jason, so that Danny can fully have his Dad. What ticks me off is that Jake has been shipped off because he needed his Dad too. I've kind of kept up with spoilers and updates and honestly I am not seeing anything that would bring me back to watch at this point. I am certainly not coming back for Lucky Spencer who I still irrationally loathe to this day and it will be worse if they put him back with Elizabeth. Yup I could rant on that one all day.

Okay, I definitely need to know what Nelle is up to and why she apparently has some creepy fascination with her "stepchildren". I can't wait to read about the dinner with Nelle, Esme, Sam, Lucas, Ace, and Wiley.
It's nice that Mac is apparently concerned about Esme and Ace.

Great chapter. Frisco must be out of his mind if he thinks that Felicia is going to leave Mac for him. It is years, if not decades too late for that.
So, it sounds like Holly and Frisco had a fling 32 years ago and Sasha is 31... Why do I get the feeling that Maxie and Georgie will be getting a new sister soon?
Loved the scene with Cameron and Esme. I like how he listened to her fears and then tried to guide her back towards her mom. It definitely sounds like Esme wants to come home, but is worried about ending up in an abusive situation with Mac. Unfortunately, it looks like she's putting herself into danger by trying to avoid it.

Let the creepiness officially begin with Nelle and her house of horrors. And she isn't trying to keep Esme and Ace and Wiley safe, she's holding them as prisoners by changing the locks. I hope Sam and Lucas can find the evidence that they need to prove that Nelle set Alexis's house on fire and they can save Esme, Ace and Wiley from her. And of course Nelle bailed Danny out just like she paid Esme's bail. Even though I'm not a fan of scary stuff, I'm oddly intrigued by what is going to happen at the horror house.

Ugh I knew that Frisco being back would mean that he wants Felicia back. She will never take him back though, he's hurt her and Maxie and Georgie too many times to count. And of course Holly wants Robert back so much that she lied to Sash about Robert being her father. And Robert himself even confirmed that it wasn't true. It looks like Frisco and Holly have history together too, why not they get together and leave Felicia and Mac and Robert and Diane alone.
Awe the Felicia and Esme scene was so heartbreaking. Felicia is doing the right thing even though it hurt so much. Poor Esme is letting evil Nelle get into her head that she can't see how much love that her mother has for her. She's not choosing Mac over her, she's already married to him and Georgie is in the equation too. I'm glad she told Esme how much Georgie and Emma miss her and like her too. But I guess the part about being a good parent you have to let your children make their own decisions even if it hurts and even if this decision can put them in danger and put Ace in danger. Hopefully Esme will come back and fight for her mom as much as Felicia is fighting for her, she has never given up on her and she never will.

Well, Nelle is certainly busy. I guess the movers in Port Charles have seen everything. Apparently, moving multiple coffins is no big deal. The big question is what Nelle plans to do with them.
Poor Wiley must be so scared and confused with Nelle whisking him from his parents so she can play mommy. I'm glad that Lucas is keeping an eye on him. I assume that Judge Carson was the one to grant the custody order. Hopefully, her arrangement with Nelle will be exposed soon.
One bright spot is that, once again, Nelle overstepped when it came to Esme. Even though Nelle did her best to manipulate Esme and take advantage of her confusion, Esme isn't going to turn against her mother.
I also liked how Georgie told Felicia that she liked having Esme around. Esme really needs to come home soon so that she, Mac, and Felicia can start trying to work out their issues. Personally, I don't think she's actually trying to manipulate Felicia or anything like that. It's more like she has the social and emotional skills of someone much younger. I think Felicia needs to stop thinking about doing something extreme like kicking Mac out or moving to a new place with Esme and Ace. That's not a normal response to stepfather/stepchild conflicts. Instead, Esme needs Felicia to demonstrate how normal, healthy people handle disagreements.

Wow Frisco really is delusional if he thinks he can walk in with presents for his daughters and grandkids and magically erase the fact that he was absent for most of their lives. The kids don't even know him and neither does Georgie since she was only a baby when she met him, but bless her heart that she does want to see him again. But Mac is her father in every way that counts, the same way that he is Georgie Jr, James and Bailey Lou's grandfather.
The nerve of Nelle to tell Esme that Mac and Felicia's home is a toxic environment and that Mac is Esme's abuser. She just can't help putting the spin on everything that makes her seem like she is a rescuer and a hero. When she is the abuser and the toxic one. But I was cheering when Esme walked out on her with Ace, she won't turn her back on her mom especially after she fought so hard to find her and Felicia won't turn her back on her either, ever.
Awe poor Georgie and disregard my previous review when I thought Felicia should get another place for her and Esme temporary, no she should stay right where she is with Georgie and Mac at the house and she will still rescue Esme and talk with her and I have no doubt that she can help her work it out with Mac. And awe Georgie loves having Esme near and living with them too. I loved the letter of Esme's that Felicia read and that she is going to find her daughter again and bring her back again.
Awe yay, Alexis is awake and talking to Sam. And oh boy Nelle is the one that started the fire at Alexis's house. So Alexis must have seen her and no wander Nelle muttered that she would take care of Alexis again. She probably wants to make it seem like it was all Shelly's idea just to take suspicion of herself but Alexis is the eyewitness and she identified her. Of course now Nelle wants to be Danny's hero and bail him out before his hearing when it was all set up by her but Sam won't let that happen especially since Alexis just identified Nelle as the arsonist. I hope they can arrest Nelle soon and that will be enough to get Wiley away from her and Esme can see her true colors.
And okay Nelle's little fantasy house is very creepy especially since she thinks Wiley and Esme and Ace will live with her. And what is it with the coffins that she had put in the basement. What is she going to do, bury Mac, Felicia, Willow and Nina alive or are they for other people? Who knows how her devious mind works. And poor Wiley is scared out of his mind and doesn't want to go home with her and he barely even knows her and he was just released from the hospital. But kudos to Lucas for taking up her offer to go to dinner and check on Wiley.
And wow it does seem like Holy is lying through her teeth about Sasha's father. It's probably just a ploy because she wants Robert back. Good for Sasha as to not to believe her or trust what she has to say.

Yeesh, that took long enough for the reviews to show. I read that the entire site was like that for a couple of days.
Thank you everyone for the feedback, I really appreciate it. I think I know the direction I'm going to take. I will say though, that yes Esme is sort of manipulating/emotionally blackmailing Felicia, but she's not doing it on purpose. The issues go much deeper and Felicia knows this. Not saying that Mac was wrong, he really was right. But the situation isn't that black and white. Esme definitely needs to learn and grow through this, but she really is afraid of Mac.
Chrissyfan- Do you mind scrolling down to my comments about the show? I posted that a couple of days ago and it's finally showing.

I mostly agree with Anna. While I sympathize with Esme, she can't keep running away when she gets upset. Mac was harsh, but Mac was right. Felicia can't kick him out of his own house because she doesn't like how he defended and tried to protect her. Esme is definitely a victim, but she is also a master manipulator who learned from the best, and if Felicia gives in and makes her life all about Esme, all it does is teach her that her tactics work. If Felicia leaves Mac and/or Georgie for Esme again, she's probably only going to have Esme left.
