Couldn't the bus crash have waited till February sweeps. This is the Holidays, for crying out loud!

Alexis better be involved on this one as she has two kids in the bus ...
And sorry but what is stupid Olivia doing on the bus ? Not a fan of Liz but she is a parent of one of the kids and Olivia isn't ... Even Sam would be more logical as she is the sister of two kids. But really Olivia ???
But as she is Dante's mother and Dante has to be in every storyline I bet it will be his ticket to cry on his mother's hospital bed (can't Olivia remain in a coma for something like FOREVER ?). And it will give her a good reason to jump in bed with Steve the minute she wakes up from her coma.
Johnny, keep your distance with that woman. Jolivia is at last over and I want to kep Johnny free (for Brook or Lulu ?).

Dante and Lulu agree to move forward and not look back. Wow, Lulu is truly pathetic and has no spine. Can someone please reveal that there was a baby switch when she was born because she is truly not a Spencer. The guy keeps lying to her face, gets drunk because he is jealous (but didn't think about getting drunk when he sent Michael to jail), he confessed twice already that he can't stop thinking about another woman and she is going to say that it is fine ? I am done with Loo Loo after that and I bet a lot of people are going to be unhappy if Dante gets a free pass.

What about Lisa being Valentin Cassadine (having changed sex ?)

NLG tweeted in October that Theo was The Balkan as she had already worked with Daniel Benzali. But at the Scrubs event, Kimson said that Guza had changed his mind and that they were told that Theo was not the Balkan ... So who is right ? My bet is my dear NLG

Finally, I find so delightful the idea of "Killing a kid" during Holiday Time ...
If it's true, Guza should really get a century of shrink sessions in his Santa sock this year because my only comment is "Are you kidding me" ?

I stopped watching the show so I decided to start reading spoilers to see if there was anything that would make me want to start watching again. Nope.

Alexis will be involved with this stunt. Molly is Rik's kid. Rik isn't around. Alexis gets crapped on with a great deal of regularity. I predict Molly bites the big one or Kristina does and Alexis takes Molly off to see Rik and is never seen again. The other possibility is that Cam gets killed and Liz rides off into the sunset with her other children to get the heck away from Port Charles. Both Molly and Cam have that cutey vibe that GH's hack writers will think killing them will make perfect holiday moments.

I think Theo is the Balkan since the actor who plays him recently worked with Maurice, Carolyn H and other mob-related characters. Jerry was too obvious a choice, so I think Theo will turn out to be.

As for the tragedy story for the holidays, that's really pathetic...but typical GH. You would think they would wait until after the holidays to start with the bloodshed again. I hope it at least helps to reunite Patrick and Robin. I love this couple and I need to see progress in advancing them away from Lisa and into their own story.

Lisa must die. I find it hysterical that they're going to shove her now into a Cassadine story, with the legendary Helena no less. It's not going to work, I can tell you that right now. She is not a likable character and she will never hold her own with Helena. But, if it gets her away from Robin and Patrick...the greater good and all.

Glad to see that Matt is not giving up on Maxie. Now if only this stupid show would give this couple airtime.

Where are Mac and Alexis???

My spidey senses are telling me Matt is a goner. Though you can never rule out Olivia. And surely they wouldn't kill off a Corinthos kid (or anyone related to them for that matter). And if TIIC don't want their studio stampeded by angry fans, they would not kill off Cam.

could this be stunt to cover a re cast of very talented but entirely too young looking actress by her injuries from the accident requiring plastic surgery?

As always thanks for the spoilers, Regan!!!!

I knew the Balkan could be Theo, Jerry's too obvious. As for the other death from the bus crash, it could be Matt, or Olivia. And I like your thinking Shancy.

But even still could they've had this during sweeps, it is the holidays for goodness sakes!!!!!

i agree their timing is the worst. they really seem to be grinches to the fans

Isn't Cam a little too young to be going away on a ski trip without either of his parents?

Sigh....same ole same ole, tragedy, bodies, kids, are we ever gonna get something uplifting? At least around the holidays?

Who ever posted that their spidey sense was worried about Matt...I feel the same way. I read that TV Guide article, and Scott Reeves is quoted as saying that he got to show off his doctor skills... as he is the only doctor on the scene. In the paragraph before that, it listed Matt and Maxie as chaperones. So I think if Matt doesn't die, he will be hurt... and unable to work on the casualties. After all he too is a doctor.

As for Cam being there without Liz...his uncle Steve probably volunteered to take him for his sister. I know my sisters have taken my own kids to various events, when I couldn't. Kids his age are most definitely on the slopes.

As I watch the show, and had already read the spoilers from the same article, I skipped over this article at first...I usually jump right to comments, and read them... and then post if I feel like I want to. However, I just read the article above, and I see Regan caught the Reeves slip also. I hope this doesn't mean anything for Matt, I know he is hardly used, but I would miss him.

First Matt-- My poor matt... dang it if they would just let the boy have some airtime...... I really don't see what the point was to 'snatching' him up only to waste him like they have. Jason Cook is a really good actor and deserves better than this.

As for the stunt... I am sorry GH but you are not in ANYWAYS going to come even close to matching Coronation Street's Tram crash which aired last week, so DON'T EVEN try. Just focuse on character driven drama and leave the nice CGI stunts to people with actual budgets and who don't over do it.... *shivers at the thought of another 'TMK' cgi ending*

I for one look forward to this storyline. I don't care if its during the Holiday or not.
What story was so good during Nov sweeps?? NONE.

Looks like things will finally pick up on this once great soap.

If I had to guess though, I would say Matt "bites the dust"

Why are different age groups of students on the same bus trip?  Micheal and Kristina are in high school.  Molly and Morgan are in middle school and Cam's in grade school.  Why would they be on the same trip?  Where is Spencer? 

Why would the chaperones all be people with no kids?  Two single doctors, a fashion designer, and a hotel manager?  I can fanwank that Steve went in place of Liz for Cam, and Olivia went in exchange for Carly, but why would Maxie agree to spend the day with kids, when none of them is her niece and she hates kids? 

That's what I get for reading a spoiler!! 

And if this is a trip arranged by Steve to increase hospital moral, wouldn't it involve doctors and nurses...not just random kids?

Thanks for the spoilers Regan, entertaining as usual.

Haven't we learned from the Abby / Michael spoiler at all? I remember that day, people were losing their minds about, "How caN Sam hook Michael up with a stripper?" And, "Why would he be so violent with a girl after watching K get abused?" That storyline turned out OK, didn't it?

Trust the writers at GH a little bit, people, just a little bit. I know it's hard. You've all been pining for a non-mob based storyline. Well, here you go. I understand the concern over putting the kids in danger over christmas, the timing isn't perfect, but they're not killing a kid at holiday time, c'mon! FAITH!

I think this storyline sounds really great! As far as them not killing off a kid, I wouldn't put it past them. If you remember, the last bus accident in PC, they killed off BJ.

I agree that after the spoiler and Scott's comment, it doesn't look good for Matt. I think that they have been setting up a Maxie/Spinelli reunion which was obvious with the Thanksgiving eppy. That would explain why Matt and Maxie are on the bus so its a way to write Matt out and have Maxie be there when he dies. Even though I'm NOT a Matt/Maxie or a Matt fan for that matter, I really think GH dropped the ball with this actor/character. From what I've read he's a pretty popular actor who previously had success in a pairing with Kristen Storms. But GH has greatly underused him and stopped the Matt/Maxie story before it started and I don't know why.

My concern as far as the kids is Cameron. I find it odd that he is on this trip when he is so much younger than the other kids, unless they plan on aging him. And if he is on the trip, where are Jake and Spencer? I can buy the different age groups of having Molly, Morgan, Michael and Kristina all on there b/c they are all related and are always shown in scenes together and hanging out. But Cam doesn't ever get shown in scenes with them or outside of his mother/father. That concerns me that it is contrived as a way to hurt Cam and make story for Liz, and a reconnection with Lucky.

As far as the chaperones..I think that is an odd match up too. If Carly bowed out then why not Jax or Alexis? Olivia? Why, because she works for Carly and to further the Olivia/Steve storyline? And Matt and Maxie? That makes no sense.

Anyhow, I'll buy into all that stuff that doesn't make sense just because the story sounds so good.

Shancy- Interesting comment. I read the spoilers again and what you are saying could make sense because it says parents must come to identify their children. Why would the parents need to id the kids unless someone is dead or disfigured as all of the chaperones know who the kids are?

By the young actress are you referring to the actress who plays Kristina? I really don't usually like the recasting or sorasing of kid characters and I love Lexie, I think she is really talented BUT I really see them doing a Ethan/Kristina pairing down the road..which may be why they would want to recast.

What have we learned exactly, that its ok for Sam to get a hookah for Michael, or that this hookah (as usual) has a heat of gold.

I am worrying more about Morgan, we don't see him very much lately and what a way to affect a lot of families, maybe this is what gets Liason to agree to share joint custody of Jake.

I do like the poster's suggestion about a certain recast that could happen during this incident.

jmoney - I am one of those fans who does not think that the Abby/Michael story turned out okay. I thought it was horrible of Sam to hook Michael up with a stripper/hooker. I think it is horrible that they are continuing to see eachother and date. She is an older woman who is a stripper/hooker. She is not appropriate for an 18 year old boy. It's like some horny teenager had a crazy dream, emailed it to Guza, and Guza went with it as a story.

Beans - BJ's accident was a little bit different. Trajic, absolutely, but it served two larger purposes: GH was telling a story about drunk driving, and also a larger story about organ donation / saving Maxie with her best friend's heart. Heart-wrenching to say the least, but if they kill off a kid here, I struggle to see the larger picture at this point, which is why I doubt they do it. The SORASing is a real possibility tho

loungta..I agree with you about Johnny and am hoping that the REAL reason Lulu is "moving forward" with Dante is because she,like Dante,is trying to get over someone from her past (aka Johnny).That way she does not look like a total moron and (if we are lucky) we will get some Jolu flash back scenes and it could leave open the possibility of a Jolu reunion/Jolu/Lante triangle in the future.

I read that matt was severely injured and lisa is the only one available to operate, which maxie doesnt want to allow. Dont know if thats true or not. I actually could see Matt surviving and now Patrick and Maxie would feel some indebtedness to Lisa for saving him.

Best case scenario for me is Olivia.

My guess is there will be a lot of people injure or possibly dead and then the other death ends up being a non-regular. If it has to be a regular, then my guess would be morgan because it gives CarJax story and his death would effect like half the canvas. I hope it isnt Morgan...it feels like the writers are trying to down play the bond between carly and sonny and certainly killing off their only child plays to that end.

GHVet - your possible death suggestion of that "Cam gets killed and Liz rides off into the sunset with her other children to get the heck away from Port Charles" wont happen - I am not that lucky.

Looking forward to it. This storyline sounds decent.

EET, Olivia, the mother of Dante The God of GH ? You are not thinking straight my friend. If no Olivia on an hospital bed, how could Dante be on half of the time in this bus crash story ???

Jmoney, honestly your propaganda is laughable ... You are clearly not a mother to think that Abby and Michael turned "OK" ? How could a mom agree on her son seeing a stripper older than him ? On what planet ?

And do you realize that your little speeches are always patronizing ("have a little faith" ? Really ? Who are you to tell me what to think ?). Are you Dante to be so obnoxious ?

And what is your take of the recent pathetic writing of the Balkan mess ? A body that remained unclaimed during SEVEN MONTHS but of course has to be claimed by Jerry the minute it comes to PC ? Dumb and Dumber working together to let Jerry go because Dante can't think of calling for some help at the PCPD (even if he has 2 hours) ? The psycho Lisa free of charges and Shaddy Brook after a week even if she tried to kill RObin and was caught with a gun in her hands ?

Yes we know "The writers are doing their best" Nice song. But their "best" is far far far away from what the audience is waiting for.
When is the Dante reign going to end ? When is the lante nightmare be over ? When will we get Alexis on screen ?

This above is more important t o me than ONE MORE STUNT. OLTL is brilliant right now just because of the quality writing (and great actors joigning the show like Kim Z or Ted K). They don't neeed a carnival or Franco or a bus crash to create smoke. The last sweeps were a disaster and GH finished last of all the soaps ! Great job for sure !

PS : thanks anyway about the info you gave yesterday about what VM is "asking" to honor our screen of her blessed presence. I guess you must have seen the reaction to the Sonny/Brenda love scene ... Almost as bad as Lante ... I am on the floor laughing ... Another big miss !

Rebecca, I love your posts lately But I think you are dreaming.
Brainless Loo Loo will be stupid enough to forgive Dante and Guza is spitting again on women. I bet Robin is going to forgive very fast Patrick too because after all men apparently can cheat and lie and women must forgive. Lame lame lame
