Since the Carly/Michael confrontation on the show on November 24, 2014 (Thanksgiving) where Carly told Michael Jason had named him Michael Corinthos for Sonny, I’ve been screaming at myself. I love Carly, but damn if she’s not delusional. I hated her white-washing all the damage she did back then, and I’ve always hated the Sonny/Carly narrative of AJ in those days. People forget — he’d left the Quartermaines, he had a good solid job, and he’d made the colossal mistake of being Carly’s friend then. The only reason Carly kept him from Michael back then was to keep Tony in her life, and then to keep Michael for herself. It never had a damn thing to do with AJ. He was always her obstacle to getting Jason.

Ugh. No matter how much I enjoy Carly’s character (writing it that is), I have never forgiven her for AJ.

Anyway. So after that confrontation, I decided Michael should know more of his own history, and I don’t remember any period in which anyone sat him down to discuss musical daddies, even after AJ showed back up. They only discussed the initial things, nothing of what came later. So I realized Elizabeth is one of the few people left on the canvas who would know any of the details.

So this is set Christmas 2014: Other People’s Truths
