Chrissy I done told you this is Pam not my Sam. She is a mini Carly annoying n sucky person. Nothing anyone says about her now surprises me anymore. She went from a loving mother to crappy mother n person in less than a year. I keep telling people someone is totally pissed at her in real life to have ruined the character of Sam this bad that even her fans can’t support her threw this. We be on twitter still making Dream post n talking bout them instead of anything about current Sam or Jason

I suppose it's a step that Sam's in the same room as Scout. But when they have the child actor on set, take advantage of it and show the parent interacting with them. They do that with the other kids.
And it's just one scene, but I'm going to keep writing Scout the way I have been not based on today's show. She's scared of the violence, likes tea parties, dancing, and used to love dresses until the Marchesis stole Helena's dress from her. But can also be a bit of a spitfire like Sam and will stand up for the people she loves like kicking Carly to defending Wiley and kicking those kids bullying Aiden.

Lol makes sense Foxy. Foxy the cult leader lol. That made me laugh. All hail Foxy! *bows down*

Okay, just finished watching the show... I'm about to contradict myself and I apologize for complaining so much, but UGH. I'll start with Jax/Carly/Sonny because it won't be as long. But Jax was the voice of reason yet again. I was cheering him on. He said again he wants to take Josslyn home with him and he thinks Carly should take Avery and Donna and leave as well. He brought up what Michael and Morgan went through, etc and how people are safer away from Sonny. Carly got angry. She's awful. Then at another point she was telling Michael to remember how Sonny always protected him as a kid and to focus on that, because he's going to fix all this.

I think what bothered me the most was Sam and Scout's scene. Now, this is where I'm contradicting myself because I just said the other day how I wished at least one of Sam's kids looked like her. But Scout is acting totally fine with a bodyguard following them around. Then Finn came over to them and asked her if she likes tea parties (I got the impression he was going to invite her to have a tea party with Violet). Scout said no. Then Sam smiled and said she's not a girly-girl, she's so much like her mom, etc. OK, I'm not saying she has to be a girly-girl but this bothers me for a few reasons.
1. I feel like they're setting Scout up to be this tough girl who can handle all the violence around her (Like seriously? She's 4 years old! (or around that)
2. Everyone went on about Kristina and Molly being Alexis' mini-mes and that she was trying mould all of her daughters, including Sam into her own image. And that's exactly what I see them doing with Danny and Scout, moulding them into Jason and Sam mini-mes. Whereas Molly is probably most like Alexis out of her and her sisters, but she's most definitely not an Alexis mini-me, she's her own person. Of course they'll have some traits of their parents, but I kind of hoped that Danny and Scout would rebel against the mob life and be their own persons.
3. Not as important and I'm contradicting myself once again... But if Scout did like tea parties, it would have been so cute since Samlexis were both big tea drinkers.

Now, moving on to Sam who I'm really going to pick on (sorry Foxy)... She's at Kelly's and supposed to be spending time with Scout... It starts off she's on the phone talking to Jason, big surprise (and he's at Sonny's, again big surprise and he said to tell Danny and Scout he loves them). Then the next scene she's talking to Spinelli on the phone. Then Finn walks in and she barely says two words to Scout, but it's in response to Finn saying she's like her mom and not a girly girl,etc etc. THEN she pulls out these big pink headphones and puts them on Scout to listen to her playlist so she can have an adult conversation with Finn. And they had Kristina complain that Alexis always disappeared when her phone rang? Give me a break! But I'm sure Danny and Scout will praise how wonderful parents Jason and Sam were when they get older and they'll gloss over the fact that THEY disappeared to chase after dangerous situations and kept sending them to the Qs weeks on end. But no, Alexis is the terrible parent on the show. Ugh.
Then... I didn't know whether to laugh, cry, or get angry. Sam started giving Finn parenting advice. No joke. She said, "It's our choices that affect them. But what really affects them more is how much we love them. And how much we're there for them. And the people we allow in their lives." What have they done to the Sam character?
Sorry for the rant.

Oh Chrissy I get why folks join cults. I actually understand though I don’t think I could per I have always had a problem with authority. I don’t fully understand why but I have had this issue since I was a kid. I was a kid that wanted to divorce my parents. So you know my granny had her hands full with me. I am the type that usually finds a way around the rules or bend them to work for me so cult life would not work unless I was a leader lol. My problem is I just don’t get why they would join one for run by a Cassadine period. Now I could see why they would join the M men seem like they could get people to follow them but once you find out Val is the actual leader I would have quit. He just don’t do it for me lol. I’m petty I know.

I liked Robin until she kept leaving Emma to do stuff for Jason. I guess all the women are obsessed with him -_- While I like her sometimes, I can agree that she's not all that. But aww I didn't realize you didn't like her Chrissyfan, here I made her Liz's maid of honour.

Foxy, cult leaders or just any sadistic leader prey on vulnerable people. Maybe some could be crazy, but most are naive, lonely, fearful, hurt, abused, etc. Most that join or follow them don't know everything the leader is doing, they see the compassion that no one else has shown them before, because others probably haven't shown them the time of day before. In the story Nelle is just plain crazy lol, but people like Sasha aren't joining because they support Valentin hurting people, they probably don't know he's hurting people, they are taken in by his promises.

I had a like/dislike thing with Taggert. He was very good with a teenage Liz after her rape. He was extremely over zealous with Sonny and Jason. He liked calling Jason anger boy. He was a smart cop but not always professional. I could fully see him being brought back as the person behind all of the current mob troubles, I'm pretty sure he drove himself batty trying to bust Sonny and Jason. I didn't get into AT's Em. NL's was better but both versions could be bratty, at least to me.

Foxy- I'm always delighted to find others who didn't find Robin Scorpio to be all that. I actually liked Patrick and Sam. I would have rooted for an Elizabeth and Patrick pairing as well.

Well I had a feeling Val was V but I wasn’t sure. Anyone willing to follow him of they own free will crazy. I hope Sam n Jax able to save Willow they finally found her. See I always knew I liked Emma which is weird cause I don’t like her momma at all lol.

Yes, Taggert is back. I don't really remember him much though, I had to look up his Wiki page. Of course, a cop who was against Sonny and was probably evil or stupid.
LOL, I too thought oh boy if Sasha were Sam's daughter, that WOULD be 3 generations impregnated by Sonny (although I changed Sam's daughter's paternity in this). Though I wouldn't put it past Sonny to do something like that.
Now, you see, I liked Emily. I only knew NL's version of her though. I liked her with Nikolas and her friendships with Elizabeth and Lucky, and even with Jason. Couldn't stand her with Sonny though, even though she was good to his kids.
My heart was racing writing that last chapter, I thought it was creepy as heck. But it's only the beginning of V-Town.

Excellent chapter! I hope Willow will be okay. It would be sad for Sam and Jax to find her only to lose her again. Happy that Jax listened to Sam and helped het her out. Cam is one smart kid, happy to see he was trying to be the voice of reason with his peer group. if Emma hadn't ran I was hoping Sam would grab her and drag her along with her anyway. Some of the people you listed was definitely a surprise. Look forward to the next update

I'm with Foxy- Nelle's untimely demise would be a thing of beauty. Lol, Foxy, I didn't completely hate Emily but both versions could be a bit of a fickle brat.

Oh Chrissy no need I have NEVER liked the fact Sam wanted to name her daughter Emily. Most real SamFF do not care for Emily. The way she treated Sam after she helped her n stood by her in making her own choices was totally disrespectful. That Emily/Sonny thing was the first time we SamFF realize Jason had a side that was abusive. That screaming n throwing things was disgusting n it showed lack of respect for Sam. Let’s be honest most of us only came back with Jasam cause we knew it was either that or nothing for Sam in 09. We fought cause we wanted Sam to finally have kids n grow not cause we wanted Jason. Heck we like LuSam but knew we wasn’t going to get it. N when NuJaSam has Scout we were not happy about that Emily thing that’s why the show called her Scout they knew we didn’t approve but we would suck it up if we didn’t have to call her that. You don’t have to worry I want any n everything Jason Morgan besides Danny away from Sam n Scout. That’s how the show messed up. No SamFF will ever accept Jason for Sam again after having experience NuJaSam n Drew heck now we would rather her be alone now.

Thank gosh Nelle n Sasha not Sam’s. If Sonny had knocked up three generations it would have been WOW lol. Atleast this means Willow will stop letting Harmony in. Poor Sasha really has to choose the least of 2 evils n I don’t even know who worst Sonny or VTown. Poor Lucas hopefully things will work out for him soon. I’m still down with Nelle dying though lol.

Yeah! Willow is Sam's daughter. Go get your girl out of their clutches Sam! I'm still feeling badly for Sasha. Harmony is going to do to her what she did to Willow. Very nice update!

I think its the writers/producer but that transfers down to the character of Sam. While Liz fans don't own the rights to the name Emily and I can't speak for all of the but yes, that was a bit of a slap in the face given through the good, bad and ugly Em an Liz were best friends and a lot of them were hoping Liz would have Em's namesake. I'm pretty much over it though, I wouldn't want a child of Franco's named Emily. That would be another blatant disrespect as well as even though on the sow they were best friend, I found Emily to be someone who pushed the Woe is Lucky agenda too much and it annoyed me a lot.

Carly is an idiot amongst other things. Seriously it's a proven fact.
I hear Taggert may be back. Something tells me if so he will have gone from over zealous cop to the person bullying the mob and behind all of Sam's woes. Because we wouldn't want to not destroy a Sonny or Carly. Yikes! Soapbox.
