God that was geeky, but whatevs. Anyway, do you remember when Edward Quartermaine, the patriarch of the family, died a few months ago? And then Heather Webber showed up and replaced his will with a fake one? Well, I can't be entirely sure, but I'm fairly sure that that little plotbomb never exploded, so we still have no idea what was happening back then.

Now fastforward to a couple weeks ago, and Franco returns to Port Charles and sees who? Heather Webber. At the time we had no idea that it was Franco since we all assumed it was Todd Manning, and we know Todd Manning is frenemies with Heather Webber, so, there was no reason to wonder about anything other than what he asked her to do. But now that we know it was Franco I realized that Heather never acted like she thought he was dead. So, she must have known he was alive, which isn't surprising since she's supposed to be friends with Franco's mother. Which means that dollars-to-donuts his mother also knew that he was alive. Which means that her sending Luke in Kiki's direction was a part of Franco's plan. Since if all Franco wanted was to get to know Kiki it means that that must be part of his plan, cause otherwise he could have just met her where she was without any of this Port Charles hullabaloo.

Even more brain atomizing is that if you consider everything that's happened, it becomes obvious that the fake will was created by Franco. The will that gave not only Kiki, but Franco shares in the company. And most bizarre of all, that also means that it was Franco that gave Tracy the relish.


Oh. My. God. That makes so much (soap opera) sense! It was revealed today that he was most definitely the relish saboteur, but I highly doubt Eva figured everything out. I mean, it's Franco. His whole M.O. is incomprehensible art, and he was believed dead for eons; there's no way that he just completely hid and came back with the relish. That is not his style.

It was revealed that he tainted the relish to lower stock prices so he could be CEO of ELQ, but it's still not clear why Franco, of all people, should even want that. Tying that into the Luke storyline, it gets really interesting.

If you watched today, though, just as interesting: Shawn wasn't the one who shot Olivia. The bullet casing from his weapon? Not the one that matches the shell found in her body. Someone else was, conveniently, trying to shoot Franco. Was it Eva? Sonny's back-up plan that he didn't tell Carly? Was it Sam, Spinelli, Michael, or any number of people? Or, was it Jason back from the "dead?"

Hell, even Silas. Even though they dismissed his "vampire" storyline with Rafe being all, "I dunno - he muttered something about not being a vampire..." was Silas to blame? They've encountered each other. Maybe (and this is a stretch) Silas made Franco a vampire while Franco was dying, and that accounts for his absence.

Port Charles is a sketchy place.

Why not? Sending someone a jar of relish as a bizarre ploy to...do whatever, sounds like something that would tickle Franco. Perhaps he...I don't know. Tracy would have been pretty much out of the loop without that relish, so maybe Franco wanted to give it to her to further the war between her and AJ. Since him being in the middle of their conflict seems to be such a big part of his plan, it's not out of the question that he gave her the relish.

Not to mention, if Franco really did write that will then anything on it would have come from him. I guess it's possible that he got a copy of the original will, saw that Tracy's father gave her the relish, and just kept it in, just because, but Franco strikes me as the kind of person who needs complete control of a situation, so I still think the relish was his.

I'm wondering if part of his reasons for (if he wrote the will) giving the great grandchildren, and therefor Kiki, shares in the company, was to precipitate this whole search for her that would eventually lead back to her mother. He is obviously an evil genius, so it would stand to reason that he would have a good handle on her character, and would know that she might try to manipulate Kiki for her own gain. Which would then drive a wedge between Kiki and her mother, leaving her more vulnerable to a long lost father figure.

I know right! Epic. I really have no idea who it might be. If it was Jason, then why has he been staying away? If he is free to go around assassinating then I imagine that he isn't captive. So, since his disappearance was tied to Faison, and by associaton Jerry Jacks, then it stands to reason that if he's pursuing Franco, then Franco is somehow involved with Jacks. This is all just idle speculation of course, since I have almost no clue who might have done this. It couldn't have been Franco staging a hit on himself right? How could he have known that Olivia would jump in front of him? That wouldn't make any sense. I think.

I don't know. I don't think that they're going to be connected, at least for the time being. I think that may have just been a meeting of the evil minds to sort of just make them both seem more menacing by association.

I don't go watching The Telenovelas, haha. I'm more of a Dexter, Dr. House, Game Of Thrones, Smallville, The L Word etc fan.

WHY NOT!?

Telenovelas are the best. They are way better than the US ones because they actually come to an end after a certain period of time.
