  1. Emphasis on MOMENTUM...NOT and I am going to say NOT...misdirection. And let the writers be the dictator of what momentum is, NOT the producer. Yeah, mostly hits with me than messes, but I love my longer scenes. And sad we are probably going back to razzle dazzle second scenes. Just ugh. OMG the imagery!!! Oh, how I just hollered. THIS. I am completely understanding your pain. I suspect this news has made me more livid than I am showing but upset for sure is an understatement for me. Not only would he make it. She would be airing tomorrow as the Friday cliffhanger and we would have NO idea.
  2. Them facts. I kid, I kid!!! At this point he is looking better...AND BRENDA would be back so I would be fine with it. I am someone and someone is me. Cuz I was just about to say that and saw your post.
  3. It's all subjective, but we love them bubbles regardless.
  4. While I admit I felt 2013 was mostly a good year and love the return of my Brenda in 2013...I could not with 2014 or anything beyond that...I bow down to you, Cassandra. I feel you are going to find out soon enough per Errol mentioning of the other new ('new') writing team on the horizon because it really seems like there's more to the story than a power struggle between PM and FV. More like FV vs someone else who was probably the one who wanted PM in the first place.
  5. Now you all know Steel like them bubbles jumbo-sized and not just the garden variety or onion sized. We did!
  6. One can hope.
  7. Exactly. Stalling aside, we were getting community again. Yep...FV has shown his slip. And now that I've seen the Emperor is indeed without any clothes on, I cannot unsee. And all this because he wants to keep his friend Val employed rather then given him an excellent exit story? Definitely shaken. And sadly the truth partly revealed. A shame. PM won't get the chance to show something great. Which would have gone on for two years before there was anything resembling a climax. God, I am loathing him something fierce today.
  8. Well Sally was getting it in the end (or as fans during that time called it everything after the L.A. episodes) it was just sad that it was as she was on the way out the door. Yep. Actively stalling at play it would seem per today's news.
  9. But mid-summer could be fun. But seriously. If there is anything that I appear to have taken from this news it's the fact that what I've said for years is true. There have been so many times where GH has been on the uptake. Where things are happening and it's not boring, but exciting. And then...something happens. I used to say that it had to be FV because it makes no sense when it looks like characters would be getting their comeuppance, or characters should be talking to get together, etc. and then some lame/lazy/stupid plot device happens and then we as the audience are right back at the start of the race/hamster wheel. And even if we get what we want some (lazy) plot twist happens and that actor/actress we were happy to get rid of is back in some way. Or worse the same exact plot. I don't care how 'under budget' FV gets GH if the only reason we as the audience are not getting great story or wasted potential is because he micromanages even worse than Ken Corday over on DAYS. He can go find a golf course himself. Or the door period. I mean the exit interview. But I guess would he be the only one who would have the balls to do it and make it no holds barred.
  10. So on top of PM leaving, EK being HW in name only now apparently, there could be a THIRD writing team. Hmmm...you would think there really is a whole different power struggle going on BTS. Very interesting.
  11. Thanks @Errol for the main article link.
  12. Which also got better right before she was out the door IMO. For all we know once the alleged PM scripts hit the screen, the show might be better, but they already threw PM out with the bathwater. They acted too quick. Understood. The news is sinking in and I'm feeling a kinda way about it. My food is getting cold. Regardless of the clear stalling and the lost of momentum, I've been liking GH. This is the most caught up I've been since Portia's wedding I think. So I'm not pleased at all with these turns of events. It does make me think of a post I made in the GH thread about how I felt momentum had been lost since Jason's return because everything did slowly but surely was moving in a specific direction. I'm saddened to see that that direction is nowhere. I think it has actually soured my viewing. I still watch B&B and Y&R. B&B for the silly these days which only hopes my interest for so long. Y&R because like GH I was raised on it and even it has weeks I roll my eyes and other weeks are 'woulda, coulda, shoula'. Or...like in the case of the terrible story that Eileen Davidson is currently...I'm there watching how flawless excellent a performance she gives. As mentioned above from where I'm reading. I've liked that the dialogue got smarter. I LOVED that we are getting to see the inner lives of a lot of the characters again...even characters that were not my favorite, but we got to see, hear, FEEL how their motivation. I really loved that character propping was down and people were being held accountable. Like Laura and Anna separating from Sonny and what was leading to some interesting drama given their history. Sad to see we won't see that end in a satisfying climax with caring for the characters on all sides.
  13. So...sabotage it is then. SAME!!! STAT! Give ALL the tea!!! Indeed. It did seem very clear. From momentum to a flat stall of stories. The writing was on the wall. Early apologies from this corner for mine. Just arrived.
  14. Yep. lol. It feels weird to have to explain so much to my brother. I could have sworn he kept up with me while I was the actual collector but...lol. smh. Excited.
  15. Yeah, I saw some of the Lois comments and was pleasantly surprised. I loved it on her. I'm probably missing what everyone else is seeing in Kristina's outfit, too, because I liked it for it. And it's something that is currently trendy? Well-played, costumers. I liked BLQ's dress, but I looked at the bottom and immediately flashbacked to Brenda's 2011's wedding to Sonny. Thankfully, the veil was nothing like Brenda's. Though it made me wonder if it was a subtle shoutout. It's been so long since I thought about Ross's run for Mayor on GL. Did he have a scandal or was it a stuffed ballot situation? I honestly don't remember.
  16. And it appears she is already starting with Porsha so I'm down.
  17. Hahaha. We are going to have to agree to disagree on Kristina's dress. Olivia's was a good one, but it's typical of her. Willow's was okay, but fits the overall theme. I admit I was wondering that, too. Because I felt they got along waaay better before the catacombs so it's almost weird to see Drew reacting like Jason has literally done something to make them mortal enemies since they been back. Even Wagger's threat to Drew about being around Jason should not be getting this kind of a reaction.
  18. THIS. I'm saying she's ageless. Or a vampire. hehe. I would say the same about Eva as well. She's been nothing but beautiful (lookwise) as Natalia. Loved her wedding dress as well. I agree. When you put it like that and I look over the above list...the closest would probably say Nathan/Maxie, too, and I was checking out of GH around that time so I'm not even sure of that. Now if we were talking dramatic weddings...there's been plenty at least.
  19. 5-15 It will never NOT be funny when Drew sees Jason enter a room. There is really no love lost between Drew and Jason, is therre? Honestly...I liked all of the ladies' dresses. Some more than others. And the aesthetic appeared to be flowing which I don't like. Still...I liked the dresses. lol. I think my favorites are Sam's...because KM rarely wears anything NOT black...cuz it looks soooo great on her outside of one second of a scene she was in...and Kristina's cuz while it's totally something I could see on Mansi's verison of DAYS Abby, it seems cute, adorable, and a way to show off Kristina's off-beat style versus the wedding aesthetic...if that makes sense. And Lois was Mother of the Bride crossed over with Diva and I'm not hating on that. lol. And Elizabeth looks so good in her blue. But going back over to 8-14 for a second...Ava, Ava, Ava. lol. I can't believe she found the guy who is behind Sonny's med. And she had no clue. lol. And I don't like Nina v Ava as much as I love Carly v Ava, but it was pretty good. And that twist of Wagger watching Ava's every move...clever. She is in an interesting position and like Scruffy Drew...I've finding her fascinating to watch. Speaking of Drew...hehe at the possibility of him even running for office given the secret fling with Nina he has going on and the potential of a Willow/Drew fling happening...and then all of that leaked during the election...the potential of a messy storyline. But back to today...see? They got Jason there after all. And Sonny is there, too. Uh oh. lol. That said...there were so many good moments. Lois and BLQ. Ned and BLQ. Tracy and BLQ had my eyes watering...hehe...calling her Granny only on that one day. Ned and Lois. Oh, and Ned and Tracy. But I've always loved their relationship. Moreso now that Tracy shows she has a heart deep down. Let's see Jason/Spinelli. Kristina/Dante. Michael/Sam. As for Gio...yeah he could have been a Cameron recast with his look. And I rolled my eyes at Joss being the first one to meet him. I had so hoped it would been Trina. But of course, I should have known better. And of course, the cliffhanger was decent. Now let's see if there is one tomorrow.
  20. I understand. I totally forgot Carly and Jason's. Rewrites aside...they did have a good turnout, too. For sure, Patrick/Sabrina's. The whole town was there for Robin's return. I don't know. re: Curtis/Portia. Production actually was using up some sets for it from my foggy memory. But I understand. lol.
  21. Actually now that I think about it...I have always loved CM's version of Drew (and he's written better) when he has scruff. He does nothing for me clean shaven, but scruffy him is the business. Even his sex appeal goes up. lol. That said...him at Portia's wedding was more CM than Drew Cain so I hated those scenes with a passion back then. And she was very beautiful on PASSIONS. Soap's version of Bianca Lawson perhaps?
  22. Then I am so glad that I did not bother to clip.
  23. Oh is that why his FAMILY MATTERS character was trending...? Lord...
