Dillon returned from the Maarkam Islands just in time to take his young bride to her Senior Prom. Imagine his surprise when he found her already there with Diego, sharing a dance…and a kiss.
In the aftermath, the couple came to realize that “everyone was right” and they were too young to be married. What began in February sweeps with the couple’s wedding because Dillion was dying from the “monkey virus” is being annulled during the end of May sweeps.
The demise of the relationship was not a big surprise. It was a pretty safe bet back in February that the marriage between the high school senior and the college freshman would fail. The tools they used to bring it down were just as predictable, money problems and jealousies; Dillion over Diego and Georgie over Lulu. I predict Lulu and Diego will continue to cause problems for the young couple who have decided to get an annulment so they can continue to date.
Almost as predictable was Jason leaving Sam. Finally understanding that he was being hypocritical in handing out advice he wasn’t willing to take and realizing it was the only way to keep her safe, he told Sam they could be no more. The news thrilled Alexis almost as much as it devastated her daughter. Alexis used the time to try and bind her family, telling her younger daughter, Kristina, that Sam was her sister. While Sam enjoyed the bonding with Alexis and her family, she also strived to win back Jason, even seeking help from Emily and Carly.
This storyline is unfolding nicely. Both Alexis and Sam are eager to pursue the mother/daughter relationship. Sam is being cautious, and Alexis is so desperate for what she wants that she is pressing (maybe) a bit too hard. Both are staying true to character and the complication of Jason is only going to add fuel to the fire and keep the progression a slow one.
As Emily tried to talk to her brother about Sam, shots were fired into the apartment. The shots were meant for Jason but nearly hit Emily. The incident strengthened Jason’s conviction to keep Sam at bay and rattled his sister. When Sonny heard about what happened, he went after what he believed to be the source, Escobar, breaking a wine bottle over the man’s head in his restaurant. Jason arrived just in time to save Sonny and later, in a heart-to-heart, Jason admitted he was overwhelmed and in a place he never wanted to be.

The end of last week and the beginning of this week, it was as if everyone forgot the script and just played couples with whoever they ran into. Emily/Jason, Lulu/Nikolas (or was it Lulu/Dillon), Diego/Georgie, Lucky/Maxie. If anyone walked in, they'd never figure out what's what. It was too soap operaish for a soap opera.
When or when will they stop playing Robert Scorpio for laughs? Banging on the hotel door?

I agree about the couples. I have this feeling they are on the verge of shaking everyone up. Kind of reminds me of the square dances we use to do in elementary phys ed. "Everyone switch partners!"
Robert Scorpio ::sigh:: I had hopes last week when it looked as if they were rebuilding his family ties with Mac and even Georgie and Maxie. Some one should show the current writers some tapes from the 80s and remind them exactly what the character use to be.

I love Tracy and Luke together and hope they become a super couple. The actors play off each other wonderfully. Jax and Carly are also awesome. Laura Wright has delivered the best version of Carly since Sarah Brown. Maurice Benard's acting is slipping fast and he needs to go back to acting school. The depression storyline is tired, contrived and just plain boring. But what can one expect under the reign of Jill Faren Phelps? Isn't she Fred's daughter?

Tracy and Luke are fun, but are being used more for comic relief than as a "super couple." The actors do have chemistry and enjoy the scenes very much. With the Addition of Scorpio to the mix I expect it will only continue on this path.
As far as the depression storyline goes, I understand the writer's have travelled this road before, but it is my understanding there will be diagnosis and treatment this time around. If handled correctly it could be a beneficial and important storyline.

The Jason/Sam dynamic is a fan favorite. I'm not sure how I feel about a Jason/Liz pairing.
