Members NothinButAttitude Posted March 1, 2015 Members Share Posted March 1, 2015 Emily had breast cancer on GH and once she was paired with Nik, his love supposedly helped cured her. The story was more about putting them together finally then Emily's illness--the same one that took her birth mother and almost took Monica.

Members DRW50 Posted March 1, 2015 Members Share Posted March 1, 2015 Emily was dying of breast cancer. She pushed her husband Zander away for his own good. She fell in love with Nik, who became her dream prince, and was the only reason she went into remission. Awful trash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members allmc2008 Posted March 1, 2015 Author Members Share Posted March 1, 2015 What sucks is that having Emily fight cancer could have been good though. I mean, if they took it seriously. They could have used it as a way to inform viewers on contemporary approaches such as the natural route (I forgot the name of it) along with explaining/revealing the effectiveness of the different forms of treatment.

Members titan1978 Posted March 1, 2015 Members Share Posted March 1, 2015 I hate what he did to Rick Webber and Laura on GH. And Scotty! That attic story was just awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted March 1, 2015 Members Share Posted March 1, 2015 Didn't he also write (or co-write) that godawful "dead man's hand" story from fall 2003 that introduced Sam McCall? Forget about the cards (as tedious as that ridiculous plot was) - the fact that it brought Sam onto the show is enough to throw the book at him.

Members quartermainefan Posted March 1, 2015 Members Share Posted March 1, 2015 That was one of the worst stories and once again highlighted what a repulsive slug Emily was. This poor shlep Zander marries her on her deathbed to make her happy because he honestly loves her, and she gets maybe a kiss tops from Nik and she is insta cured and ready to dump Zander. So being the fine human being that she is, she dumps him on her best friend Liz (who consequently gets pregnant from a guy who doesn't love her) he goes insane, and then he is killed. La la la, she and her !@#$%^&*] prince don't care about anybody and decide they are true love and everyone else will be destroyed to facilitate that love. Pratt had other GH hits. Wasn't it he who turned Courtney into a stripper, had AJ stage Michael's death. and then Michael kill AJ? And wasn't it him who had Sonny strangling 80 year old Edward? And wasn't it him who had Luke stage some sort of murder telethon or something for Stefan (when Stefan wasn't wandering caves like Phantom of The Opera)?

Members DRW50 Posted March 1, 2015 Members Share Posted March 1, 2015 I think so, yes. He also had Courtney shoot a cop in the back, although at least that provided the nickname "Copkilla," which always cracked me up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted March 1, 2015 Members Share Posted March 1, 2015 I think Pratt may have been gone or on his way out by the time Michael "killed" A.J.. And I think he was long gone by the time Sonny choked Edward, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted March 1, 2015 Members Share Posted March 1, 2015 Was it him who had Emily drive Mary insane to the point she turned into a murderer and killed Sage? I swear, Emily on any other show would have been the main villainess/bitch. I had to stop watching but when I read that she was going to be attacked by Connor I had to tune in to see if maybe he would please kill her. For all his faults, soaps opera history is greatly indebted to Diego, who eventually got the honor of killing her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 1, 2015 Members Share Posted March 1, 2015 Then there was Courtney jumping in freezing cold water, far away from shore, while pregnant, which led her to a miscarriage and being barren (not for good, unfortunately). I remember seeing all the fans who were so happy she was barren and I kept thinking about how, between this and all the Emily stuff mentioned above, I'd rarely seen such consistently vile writing for women who were supposed to be heroines.

Members Vee Posted March 1, 2015 Members Share Posted March 1, 2015 I was happy she was barren too! The worst part is, Pratt and Guza firmly believed Courtney, Carly and Emily were the primary heroines of the show. Everything at that time was done to valorize them.

Members frequentsoapfan Posted March 1, 2015 Members Share Posted March 1, 2015 Everything Pratt wrote for Emily was garbage. And Nem's stories were terrible! Like that Pirate's of the Caribbean past life where they he forgot she's not a blood Quartermaine. Emily was the Theresa Lopez Fitzgerald of GH.
