So now ransom and Cynic have got me thinking (always a dangerous prospect LOL) - if Ethan and Nic aren't step-brothers, then does each of them have to refer to the other as "my brother's brother" or "my sister's brother"? Kind of sounds weird, doesn't it?

We might be entering "Kristina land" with weird family sayings here. Let's see, so far Kristina's got --
1. My father slept with my sister [Sam].
2. My step-father slept with my sister [Sam].
3. My sister is also my cousin [Molly].

And if Sam and Dante ever hooked up, Kristina can add, "My sister slept with my brother." That would be an instant classic!!

The people on these shows really need to stop having so many kids with so many different people. It's starting to get confusing. LOL


Rumor alert -




I read on another site that there was an indication that there might be a possible relationship between Michael and Kristina in the future. I guess the thinking is that, although they consider each other brother and sister, there is no blood relation and they really haven't grown up together. I really hope they don't go there because that would be both weird and gross - and it would be sending the wrong message if you ask me. Did anyone else hear or read anything about that?

No it's not you Ringleader, I have wondered myself for a while why Claudia did not take the line that Gerry was lying. the ONLY evidence was the DVDs, so it's a case of he said/she said, and heaven knows Jerry is a lying psychopath.

Why do Americans always try to be friends with their children? It is the duty of a parent to raise a child with firmness and love to prepare them with the skills to go out into the world and fend for themselves. Being "friends" tends to undermine that and also to lose respect. After all, one is not friends with the head master or mistress at school, nor any other figure in authority. I have heard that in the past children were not raised by their parents, who tended to spoil them, but were sent to other families or monasteries. The upper class British still do send their children away to prep school at seven. It is supposed to build character.

Ringleader, IA about Jax trying to blackmail Claudia. It's his word against hers. I enjoyed watching Claudia stand up to Jax by taunting him about Carly. What would Carly think if she knew Jax was keeping Michael's shooting a secret.

It's ironic that Sonny called the mayor a joke for sleeping with Alexis. IMO, Sonny is the King of all Jokers!

I have a funny feeling that Olivia will be eating those words about not calling on Claudia for anything. Wait until she finds out what her precious baby boy has been doing.

Ethan really needs a woman besides Rebecca. I did like his interaction with Liz.

Carly & Sonny's bickering ruined an otherwise decent episode.

My only wish is to see more of Dominic - that guy is smokin!!!

Nik and Lucky and LuLu/ half siblings they share the same mother.(Laura)
Lucky, Lulu, Ethan/ half siblings they share the same dad
Nik, Ethan/ nothing no blood and they aren't stepbrothers by marriage, so they aren't releated in any kind of way at all.
Nik's dad is Starvos Cassidine.
The show was blah..
Poor Maxie no sex with Spinelli and I don't think she will be having that.
Everything was a typical Tuesday show.

I think that Ethan and Nic would be step-brothers if Luke and Laura were still married. Nic, as the son of one married parent and Ethan as the son of another married parent, would be connected to each other because of the marriage. Since Luke and Laura are not still married, I'm not sure what to call the relationship between Ethan and Nic. If Mom comes into a marriage with her Daughter and Dad comes into a marriage with his Son, Daughter and Son are step-brother and step-sister to each other when Mom and Dad get married. What happens to Daughter and Son if Mom and Dad get divorced? Do they then become ex-step-brother and ex-step-sister, like Mom and Dad become ex-wife and ex-husband? Boy, these families are getting way to complicated... LOL

Ethan and Lucky are half-brothers (not step-brothers)because they share the same father and Lucky and Nic are half-brothers because they share the same mother. Half-siblings share a common biological parent. Step-siblings are only connected by the legal institution of marriage. At least, I think that's how it goes...

We need the help of a family lawyer here. What do you call someone like Ethan and Nicholas who have different biological parents, although the parents never married, but who share half siblings? Ethan is the half brother of Lucky and Lulu, and Nicholas is also their half brother but by a different parent. So where does this leave Ethan and Nicholas?

Regarding a possible relationship between Michael and Christina, I thought the laws of incest applied to family members who were not actually blood relations, e.g. step siblings, or a father and his step daughter, in order to prevent discord within the family. If this is still the case, even though they are not blood relatives, Michael and Christina are members of the family and their relatationship would be taboo. A lot of religions and places prohibit marriage to a former brother or sister-in-law for this same reason.

Whew, this show is skating on thin ice!

But-if as dat76543girl said,

Lucky, Lulu, and Ethan all share a blood parent(Luke).

Nik, Lulu, and Lucky all share a blood parent (Laura).

Nik and Ethan are related-not directly. What makes them related is that they share half siblings-Lulu and Lucky.

Thanks all for trying to sort out this mess. It appears that Nick and Ethan would have been stepbrothers IF Luke and Laura had married. BUT, they were married at the time Ethan was alive, so I think that he and Nick were stepbrothers during the marriage, although not aware of each other and are now former stepbros.

Enough for today taxing our brains over a soap opera! I'm off to watch the dysfunctional Jacksons fighting over the money. AT least GH gets us thinking!

Actually-I won't be able to watch as much as I used. I found out I have "toxic levels of Lead paint" through out my apartment. So I have to leave with my kids-don't know where were going.

So I will be depending on you guys for whats going on. I'll watch whenever I can. I sure will miss GH. (Unless comcast will transfer to my temp. apartment).

To be wrong and say I made a mistake does not mean you are trying to be friends with your child and not parenting them. It's called being human. I think to get respect you must give respect. Other wise your children think the way Kristina is thinking now. That you are full of crap. And yes...Lucky would say " Nic is his brother..Ethan is his brother but Nic and Ethan are not related. In this day and age of 2nd and 3rd marriages...it's not really so uncommon or confusing....
