    Ugh Ned is so annoying, he always regresses to this irritating adolescent

    Catching up on last week: Monday May 23rd, and Ned isn't onscreen five seconds before I wish someone would punch him in the throat.

    This is a grown man old enough to be a grandfather and yet he's whining like some prepubescent child about not being part of every conversation that takes place in that house.

    And other than him wanting to run ELQ, something that never made any sense for him to assume he would get to do even without the merger, what is his problem with Drew and Michael's plan to get back the company from Valentin? I don't see Ned coming up with any ideas of his own on how to get rid of Valentin other than harassing Drew about his ELQ shares practically the second after he came home from being held captive for two years. And is no one going to mention to Ned how he was in charge when Valentin took over in the first place?

    Speaking of whom, what exactly is Valentin even offering Ned for him to yet again betray his family? Does Ned honestly think he'll be CEO with Valentin still in control?

    I hate it when they do ELQ stories because Ned regresses to this irritating adolescent. Wiley looks more mature than Ned at this point that's how low he has sunk in his desperation.

    If Ned wants to be useful for once, why doesn't he help his daughter get out from under the contract with her creepy former producer.

    The writers have to prop the Corinthos'. Michael is right there at the fore. Of course Ned is going to be thrown under the bus. It is what GH does. Ned was a very good ELQ CEO, but had to be trashed for Michael and NUsubpar Drew. Just the way GH goes. Hate it.

      I completely agree. Plus they want us to believe that Michael can be CEO of a large company. He can't even bribe someone the right way. I recall he didn't do such a good job as CEO. Actually according to the dialogue the company has flourished with Valentin running it.

      Me too! Another reason I’ve stopped watching. This show is predictable and bad.

    I agree that he is annoying and should do what is needed for the family company's sake. He could also do more to help his daughter with her legal issues. I never thought he deserved to be in charge because while he was Michael's age, when Edward kept wanting him to play more of a role in the company, he wanted nothing to to with it. He preferred to run around as Eddie Mane, the rock star and rebel against what Edward wanted. Even his mom , Tracy, wanted him to take more interest, since Edward refused to give her the power she always wanted. ( Edward always seemed chauvinistic when it came to who should run the company. He hated that his son Alan chose medicine but Tracy constantly begged to be his company heir apparent and wanted to learn from him. Instead, he kept trying to get Ned interested in the company. He also would have given A J more of a chance if not for his drinking. He felt Jason was lost to him after his accident, subsequent brain damage and choosing to work for Sonny. Although, Jason was headed in the medical field before the accident, like his father and mother.)

        But that's not what happened here. Ned was a very good CEO. Michael was a very good CEO. Ned knew that someone was buying up stock in small increments and he didn't tell Michael about it simply because he wanted to be the person that "saved" the company. Michael stepped away for other reasons, putting Ned in place as CEO and Ned's plan STILL failed.

        Now Valentin is CEO and he is also a good CEO.

        This storyline is stupid because of Ned's position. He's mad that Michael or Drew won't make him CEO, and he wants to support Valentin....who ALSO won't make him CEO. On Valentin's side, Valentin is the CEO. Either way, Ned will be a COO of some sort. Ned is simply choosing who his boss will be, and that's just idiotic.

          Ned is so annoying right now. I don't even understand why he would go against his family for Valentin. It's not like Valentin is going to make him CEO. Ned is an idiot and the reason that Valentin is in control of ELQ.

            Has it been said who WILL be the CEO of ELQ? And maybe he is annoying, but as CEO, Ned should be part of the conversation...

              Then why doesn't Ned just ask? "Michael and Drew, if this Aurora merger goes through, who do you think will be CEO? If Michael becomes CEO, what will Drew's role be, and vice versa?" Drew told Ned that if he didn't want to be COO, which is actually a very senior member of the C-suite, then to make a counteroffer. Such as: "OK, either Michael or Drew will be CEO, but I want to be chairman of the board. Split that post from CEO." Ned lost the company to Valentin in the first place because he refused to talk to other members of the family and get them to circle the wagons. If he now sides with Valentin instead of actually talking to his family members, then he deserves what is coming to him, which is being sidelined while Valentin runs the show.

              But that's the largest problem here. If Valentin is in control, he will remain as CEO. Valentin is CEO right now. There's no indication that he would step down. When it comes to Drew/Michael's plan, they've said that Ned would be one of a few COOs since he has the most experience on the ELQ side and not the media side. They are thinking that the CEO of the combined company should have experience in both areas.

            I think it is safe to assume that Valentin will not be making Ned CEO. Valentin has been in charge for a year? (sorry lost track of exactly how long) What has Ned's position been?

            During that time Valentin has been off with Anna chasing Peter and he's been gone the last few months 'recuperating'.

            Who did Valentin put in charge while he was gone? Not Ned
