I really hope we don't have to worry about Jenny going with Mel from her Doctor's appointment. I'm gathering Mel overheard the comment about Jenny wanting to live with Gus. I hope the doctor caught the glare Mel threw her way.

Mel thinks Brian is the enemy... when she is her own worse enemy.

I'm a little confused about the David/ Michael POA thing. Just because David doesn't have his POA, does that not make him responsible for Michael's medical bills? As far as I know, the POA only has the right to sign Michael in for treatment. He's still Michael's ex... so shouldn't he still have the right to make decisions, like saying Jenny could have an evaluation?

Izzy seems like a hoot... and my type of people.

Mel better get used to the fact that she is just like Rita Montgomery... She's using her child to support herself... put a roof over her head... have money to live and survive. It might not be prostitution, but Jenny is still a bargaining chip to have free money given to her. She won't have - not ONE person - as a character witness, unless she can dig up someone we aren't aware of. And as I said in an earlier review... just let her try and bring up Brian in court... she will lose big time. And her lawyer said as much, too.

My big question - and the one the lady lawyer should be asking - is how is Mel intending to pay for her services? Lawyers are big bucks. I highly doubt the money she received is going to be adequate after paying for an apartment and food, and any other essentials she needs. Does she even have car insurance? If not, what happens if she's involved in an accident?

Michael... it started out with Mel saying: but now he was responsible for Michael’s hospitalization. I thought for sure I had forgotten something, so I had to look back. Only to realize it was maybe the psych doctor's fees? But, now it sounds like he really WILL be hospitalized. I doubt he will see the light of day ever again .... oh dear, how sad... NOT! I'm sure Dr. Banes was there to get Michael to talk openly. And probably better qualified in that field. But, I'm wondering what might have actually happened that night.

Did Michael slip Brian something in the drink he passed to him, so that Brian wasn't aware of what he was doing... or was Brian so out of it, that Michael crawled into his bed naked, and said they had sex? Because if Brian can't remember the deed... he was either roofied, or it never happened.

HUGS  ~Cathy

I love the way Brian explains about his walls and Justin's impact on his life.

Michael is as stupid as ever, signing without reading, then expecting to get money upfront!

Ted wasted his breathe talking to Mel but he is right she is obsessed with Brian she doesn't want to be with him like Michael but she is obsessed with beating him despite the fact this has nothing to do with him.

Mel thinks of she beats Brian then her world will be perfect but it is a delusion just like Michael's because Brian isn't playing either her or Michael 's rules, Hell He Isn't Even Playing Their Game he never was.

Jenny hearing the conversation between Ted and Mel plus seeing Mel's reaction continues to solidify to her that Mel is using her as a pawn to hurt Gus, Deb and everyone to prove once again She Is Right and Brian Is Wrong.

She refuses to hear anything that goes against her edits and it will cost her dearly.

Jenny told the truth to the doctor who sees a very hurt little girl dealing with grown-up she isn't ready for and Mel's behavior shows that she is determined to have control even if it means Jenny must suffer continuously.

Thanks For the Update 😃

I dearly love each new chapter in this story.  You don't white wash the problems and make us wish people were different.  You also make us wish for the next chapter as soon as possible because the story is so good.  I love to go back and read the other stories you've written because they are never the same.

Michael handed Brian a drink....did he spike that drink? Surprised no one said anything about that! Brian didn't remember the night....oh my. At first I thought he assumed they slept together, because naked and all. But now I'm wondering. Check footage if it goes that far back. Did Michael give Brian the date rape drug? I wonder if this is what truly happened... Excellent as always! 

Squeak 😱. and Michael shows his true self  

I don't read WIP. I don't. But I'm completely addicted. I've check for updates every day (sometimes twice a day 😉). As Justin would say, " More, more. Faster...faster." 😍 

Don't make me stalk you 🤷🏼‍♀️

I'm very happy that Lucas has finally realized what is important. David is a grown man, still wanting to depend on Daddy to fix his screw-ups, whereas Hank as a child, has taken steps to fix his life. I have no doubt he will succeed too, especially with his new 'family's' help.

I'm confused with Mel. She was already told she better use that money for Jenny, and she turns around saying she needs a place to live. But, just how long is back support going to provide a roof over her head? But, Gabriel will flay her in court, and all the support money will be lost to her, as it will revert to Gus for Jenny's wellbeing.

I'd love to see her try and bring Brian up in court... I can hear the judge now... Ms. Marcus, I thought we were here to discuss your daughter, what does Mr. Kinney have to do with this?... then when Mel starts her rant, the judge will rule her unfit to be a mother. I mean, how is it Brian's fault she lied, doctored documents, and lost her job? This could get very entertaining.

HUGS  ~Cathy

Mel is worried Jenny will end up spoiled, so that's one of the reasons she wants custody? Let's not forget the gravy train her daughter is. Maybe she should offer to let Gus buy her. She would be wealthy then.

Michael has passed delusional if he thinks Brian will give a rat's ass if he can't remember the last twenty-one years. This could prove very entertaining. They should all stand in front of a mirror and ask Michael to identify them and ask him what the age lines, gray hairs, or receding hairlines are about. Stand Gus next to Brian, and ask Michel who that is. In other words, play with him, until ha actually goes crazy.

I'm so glad Lucas appears remorseful and wants a relationship with Hank. Poor David, what's he going to do, when Daddy doesn't help him out financially? He, Michael, and Mel can all live in the gutter.

Using Ted as Hank's accountant is VERY smart.

HUGS  ~Cathy

Brian and Justin will make sure Hank is well looked after and that no matter what he will always have a family to help him when stumbles and falls, Hank is taking the steps to being the man that he can one day be proud of before he seeks others approval.

Lucas is realizing what actually matters in his life not in his world and perhaps one day he can look in the mirror and be proud of the man he sees staring back at him.

Getting away from the nest and finding better people will help him see that the world is a better place when you have true friends and family to share it with.

Leaving David to clean up his own mistakes is something he should've done years ago but he wasn't ready to grow up just yet, David, Michael and Mel are perfect for each other they are all selfish people who enjoy blaming others for their failures.

Wonder what Mel is going to do when she realizes she will never see one cent of that Money and that trying to tarnish Brian in court will pretty much guarantee no law firm will touch her and even The Big Q is above her pay grade.

Patrick makes it easy to talk to him because he has no ulterior motive than to just be a sounding board while you vent, his kind nature is a wonderful deterrent to someone who has been hurt before, cause he just wants everyone to be happy and if they can't be that right now then try for okay and move forward from there.

Patrick truly is a Unselfish Human Being.

Brian and Justin did Good😀

And by the time Justin finishes negotiating with Brian they will be Amazing!!😆if

Thanks For the Update 😃

It's great that Hank is coming out of his bad habits. His grandfather seems actually concerned and ready to be involved in his life and rehabilitation.

"Poor" Mel, unable to quit her fixation on Brian: she really doesn't see the big picture.

I love the way Justin is closing the unexpected deal.

I do not feel sorry for Lindsey, she always was a lier

Michael couldn't even even pull off insane right he ruined his cover pretty quickly and now Brian has been sucked in again to Michael's childish drama.

Alex is wasting his time with Michael it is just another excuse for why Michael refuses to see that Brian never loved him beyond friendship and even that didn't last.

Michael isn't crazy he is just a Selfish, Spiteful, Brat who feels  Brian is his property that everyone can admire but no one is allowed to touch without Michael's permission.

He wants to be envied by everyone on Liberty Avenue while he sits on his flat Ass reading comics and thinking he is in the same league as Brian or better.

Just Lock Michael Up Todd The Box In The Ocean and the Key In The Volcano or Vice Versa lol

I wonder if Deb really heard about the description of OLD cause her constantly calling Brian and her treatment of him to protect Michael sounds pretty Damn close too.

Gus wanting Lindsay to know that he loves her and her imperfections is a good thing it will help her see that she doesn't have to put on a act with anyone they accept her flaws and all.
