Since
things are very likely going to start making all kinds of sense in the very near
future on this show, I thought I’d get in one last quick “speculation”
column. I don’t have a lot of
witty commentary to impart today so if you don’t really care to hear my
speculations then you won’t be missing anything by skipping right over this
one! For the rest of you:
Let’s toss some ideas around, shall we?
I’m
still convinced, now more than ever actually, that Eve is heading for the Fifth
Chair. Ian is still runner up, but
he seems too obvious since Amy is now aiming herself straight at him.
If it does end up that Eve dies then I hope that will help cure Ian of
his attraction to anything in a skirt. Maybe
he could at least keep these attractions to himself instead of talking about
them (or worse!) with the other woman. His
“needing to help a damsel in distress” complex is a bit too much for me.
Any man that just finished cheating on his wife and within weeks admits
to having feelings for a completely different woman obviously wasn’t made to
suffer enough for the first “slip-up”.
If he had just been loyal to his gorgeous wife and adorable son for
longer than thirty seconds, much of this could have been prevented or at the
very least their last few months together could have been happy. I can already hear you all yelling about Eve’s
responsibility in Ian’s “confused time”, to which I say:
Don’t speak ill of those who have passed on. (Soon enough, anyway)
Didn’t your mother ever tell you that?
So
how will Amy do it exactly? Well,
she obviously has a drug in mind so I’m guessing the inevitable mix up will
occur and Eve will drink something meant for Ian.
Something like that anyway, but I’m hoping something more creative will
occur and it just might because Port Charles excels in creativity these days.
So I’m eager to see what they have planned!
My
next speculation is about Paige and Alison, and I’m really excited about this
one. I think that Alison is the one
Paige is related to and that the reason she is here is to help Alison and Rafe
be together on earth. I don’t
have it all figured out yet (and if I’m wrong I’m going to be really
disappointed!) but right now the most likely scenario is that Paige had a baby
that she thought died but somehow Alison’s grandmother ended up with it.
The best way to explain that happening is for Alison’s father to have
had an affair with Paige in London while he was there on business (Remember
Alison mentioning just the other day that her father gets called to London on
business often?) that resulted in a pregnancy.
Then, because Paige is acting like she knows she can’t have any living
relatives, she must have been told the baby died.
Maybe her own family did that to her but Mrs. Barrington forced them to
give her the child. Or she (Mrs. B)
just was smart enough to go and pay off whoever had the baby after it was taken
from Paige. This would also explain
Alison’s parent’s indifference to her.
Her father feels guilty and her mother isn’t really her mother, and
Alison’s presence causes them both trouble!
Scenario
two is that Kevin and Paige got pregnant (I’m not sure if time-wise that works
out right though) but Kevin never knew it and Paige fell victim to a
baby-snatching mid-wife who told her the baby died.
The only reason I even consider this is to somehow tie Kevin in because
they made it seem like her purpose here had to do with Kevin, but I really doubt
he’s the father. I can’t come
up with a plausible reason that the baby would have ended up with the
Barringtons. Since Alison’s
parents have little interest in her I doubt they are the type to have adopted
(legally or illegally) a child. And,
of course, there are countless other scenario’s that could include them being
related in some more distant way but that seems somewhat unlikely too since
Alison has plenty of relatives and Paige thinks she has none.
Whatever
their link, I think that somehow Paige is going to help Rafe be able to stay on
earth because that is what Alison wants more than anything. How? Don’t
have a clue yet, I’m not up on the rules of who gets to stay or go, or why
they do! I had this idea in my head
last week because I had been thinking that there had to be a reason they made it
so obvious that Paige was basically obsessed with Christina.
That scare came too early on; however, to be the real reason she’s
here. So if it’s not about
Christina then I think it makes sense that she’s obsessed because she had a
baby herself and never got to see her grow up.
If Kevin, Lucy, and Paige go to London to hang her portrait then I’m
sure Lucy and Kevin will see a portrait of one of Paige’s relatives that looks
just like Alison. Or they will
uncover some proof that Paige’s baby didn’t die (once she admits to having
one…). Yes, I’m aware that this
could all be a bunch of crap, but I’m enjoying myself here!
J
Enough
of my wild speculations, you say? Fine.
Since you’re here we may as well go over a few problems I ran into with
the last few days episodes:
I
think Lucy might want to try another tactic to locate Paige’s family.
I would think that a search
for “Smith” on genealogy websites would take longer than the time Paige has
left.
It’s
a good thing that Paige glows like that on occasion, because Kevin and Lucy
should now be aware of the need to invest in an air cleaner to get rid of some
of that dust floating around her head every time she illuminates.
Ricky,
at least get a bandage to wear in public, it’s the only polite thing to do
while the blood is still oozing.
So
how many of you could be carrying your purse around with a big yellow envelope
sticking several inches out of the top of it (that you did not put there, mind
you!) and not notice? And then when
the envelope falls out, you still don’t notice it.
You don’t wonder for a second how something that looks somewhat
important got in your purse? And
then when someone says “I put a picture in your purse” you still don’t
have a flashback to seeing an envelope sticking out of your purse??
But that was only the beginning, because…
Is
there Braille on fuse boxes? I’m
not saying there shouldn’t be, but I just somehow don’t see that being the
case. I’m guessing all the fuse
boxes are in the basement for all the apartments so how in the heck did Amy
figure out which one it was? If I
missed Amy getting a lesson at some earlier point about how to fix the fuses
then, please, forgive me.
It
amazes me that people like Ian and Eve (after their lights were just
mysteriously off and she just said that she thought she wasn’t alone) would
leave the room at the same time, him to “check the back door”, and leave
their baby alone. Um…if you’re
worried enough to go check the back door to be sure no one came in it then take
the kid with you! If my
lights go out and I think I’m not alone then you better believe my kids will
be stuck to me like glue until I’ve searched my house top to bottom.
And I haven’t even experienced vampires trying to steal my baby, go
figure.
I
would have bought Amy locating Eve’s purse with such ease if they had just
opted to have Ian carry in the purse (or have him move it off the top of the
stroller where it was when they came in) and tell Eve he was putting it on the
table. Even with advanced hearing,
Eve and Ian were talking and Amy was in a different room, which brings me to…
They
showed several wide shots, after the lights were on, of Amy in the foreground,
hiding against a wall, and Ian and Eve in the background with Ian facing toward
Amy. It looked to me like he had a
clear view of her since we were behind her and we could see Ian just fine.
Besides, it’s a pretty risky thing for a blind person (angel
–whatever) to try to hide from two people in a little apartment.
How can she know that part of her isn’t sticking out in clear view when
she’s ducked behind something? And
she also has to do something about that habit of speaking out loud to herself
– that is detrimental to a blind, out-to-do-evil angel.
Rafe
and Alison’s “wedding” was sweet, can’t beat a romantic guy can you?
Alison and Jamal’s scene was really well done as was the “talk”
between Jack and Jamal. KE did a
particularly good job with all of that.
Well, we should all have the answers soon. Thanks for listening to my speculations! I’d be happy to listen to yours!
