Two, which couples don’t suck?  Because that’s all I see in the various places that I go to.  That all of the couples suck and don’t have any chemistry.  Which is true.

Since you repeatedly say all the couples suck and that none of them have chemistry, it's fair to ask what you think chemistry is? What soap couples (on GH or elsewhere) have had chemistry in your eyes?

I don’t watch the show except for some episodes that are worthy.  I read recaps and if the episode is boring and/or full of characters I don’t care for, I delete without watching.  Why do I need to troll this board?  This place is not that important.

Do you listen to yourself? This place "is not that important" and yet you're here, complaining because someone insulted you. You also claim no couples have chemistry and follow that up with "I delete without watching" if the episode has characters you don't care for.

Since you think NONE of the couples has chemistry, that means you must delete just about every episode. Make it make sense.

Jason Gerhardt did well today but I expected that. I just wish that there would have been more in his scenes. More of him helping fans understand what he’s feeling right now, especially now that’s he’s lost another child.  Jessica Serfaty was ok lol, but I still enjoy Sloan  

And, I know I’ve said this before, but, shut up, Roman

Fully agree about Eric/Sloan. Missed opportunity. Jason Gerhardt was much better than Jessica Serfaty, in my opinion. I don't think she brought anything to those scenes.

And mush mouth Roman is really hard to take. Part of it is that he talks to much, and part is that he talks at all.

Unlike y'all I had no problem with that as it was just reciprocal sex. Dimitri doesn't know Leo like we know him & he has a stupid crush. We've all had stupid crushes in our time, haven't we?

I had no problem with the reciprocal sex, or that it was clearly oral. Yes, we've all had crushes, but I just don't see how or why Dimitri is attracted to Leo, stupidly or not. The gay banter? Dimitri never reacts much to that. At least if you tell me it's because Leo is one horrific human being, I might accept that.

I just can't accept the idea that Gwen is this dumb, I can't accept all these close calls, I can't accept Dimitri putting his entire fortune in danger just to screw Leo. The whole thing is ridiculous.

Why marry Gwen in the first place? Why not hire a beard -- marry her and put her on salary to satisfy the will.

I've been wondering how they're budgeting for Miss Eileen.  Her appearance fee per episode is likely fairly high.  

I'm not complaining; I'm always happy when she's on.

But the show looks so desolate & poverty-stricken in every other respect, as though they can barely afford to pay their electric bill.     

"Desolate and poverty-stricken"? Huh??? Y&R  has problems, including set problems, but the show does not look like there's no budget. I completely disagree with that.

The discussion today about baby Aria's hearing was so bad. What a botched way to introduce this.

I have no problem with a story about a baby's hearing loss, but why wouldn't Tessa and Mariah clap or bang a pot to see if she reacted. Their confusion made no sense.

Neither did Sharon's "I'm sure she was just tired! Everything is fine!" NO parent would react that way.

Both sides need to compromise because the longer the strike goes on...the longer the damage from the strike will take to be repaired.

I'm sorry, but if you're both-sidsing this, you haven't been paying attention.

Today's episode was major suckage, beginning and ending with The Leo Show.

The attempts at camp and sharp gay humor are a FAIL. The attempts to make Leo an object of lust and desire are a FAIL. The attempts to make any of this entertaining or progressive for daytime are a FAIL.

It is breathtaking that Carlivati (or Giddens or whoever) believes that we want to see Dimitri give a BJ to Leo.

I knew Frank was gonna keep that OLTL kid on ice until he was old enough to be a part of the next group of teens 

This wasn't a teen intro to be proud of. The scenes with them were pretty awkward.

This is another soap that needs RJ shirtless and telling everyone what a stud he is and cue closing credits.

The show is garbage. That's why I'm going to stop watching again. 

Yep to RJ.

That's all I got.

This show is so embarrassing.

Just imagine everyone in town has nothing to do but talk about relationships -- OTHER people's relationships -- and who should be with whom.

Just imagine someone like sl_ut Brooke Logan (of all people) dispensing relationship and marriage advice to her daughter or to ANYONE. Ditto who_re Ridge.

Just imagine a simp of a woman like Hope who screws Thomas with mad lust one day and the next says "Oops."

The truth is, even if we remove Liam from this show, it's still GARBAGE.

I guess there was a reason that Talia was introduced as a doctor? Maybe it is heading toward a romance with Tripp?  But, so far, it seems awfully random.  Including her instinct to do CPR on Sloan, rather than calling for an emergency code (and where's the emergency room in that place?)

Great points here and in your full post. This has to be the worst hospital in America, soon to be even worse when con artist Talia is added to the staff.

I'd have all the hunky males in Salem with their towels sitting at the dimera living room talking about their terrible love lives and then end credits.

It's better than Talia and the stupid bakery nonsense again.

I would've written out Talia long time ago. I have no use for her. She adds nothing to the show.

Fully agree on the towels in the Dimera living room. Those end credits should have stills of the towel boys while dispensing with that phucking awful credits music they use.

That bakery is a fail and should be shut down.

Spot on about Talia, a character who outlived her usefulness after 3 weeks. Terrible character, terrible writing, mediocre actress.

Me wondering what we're doing with Cyrus right now. Hmm

I wish I cared about Cyrus. I don't. Just another character who serves his purpose and then stays on because Frank doesn't know how to get rid of characters who have an expiration date that's passed.

Johnny and his towel.

Best part of the episode. Johnny should be hitting it all over town instead of pining over the same couple girls who can't see what's in front of them.

That hospital scene where Sloan dropped to the floor. My God, what a way to emphasize how few people work at that podunk hospital. Just ridiculous that we didn't immediately see a lot of onsite help.

Instead, this was used to show us Talia's medical skills??? As I've said before, Talia does not have the presence and gravitas of a doctor. NOTHING about her says "Yeah, let her operate on me."

Sloan losing the baby? Even that was so low energy I couldn't care less.

I get it.  The Trina recast is a miscast and neither one of them can kiss.  So, I don’t know what their fans are excited about.

But in reality, all of the couples suck.  They are all chemistry free.

As long as the obvious is pointed out -- that Sprina is a really popular couple with the GH fanbase.  Your opinion is your opinion, of course, but you are in a very small minority.

Or perhaps she's acting like an adult at her daughter's birthday party?! 

I think one can act like an adult at a daughter's birthday party without smiling at a spouse you just cheated on and decided to divorce. It's ridiculous.

The Bad-

Ava/Austin, Alexis/Gregory, Ned/Olivia, Spencer/Trina, Drew/Carly, Dex/Josslyn

Spencer and Trina don't work as a couple? HUH???

Why the hell is Hope SMILING at Liam during Beth's birthday party??? Has she lost her mind, is she on drugs, or is she just an idiot???

And why is RJ lecturing and preaching reconciliation to Hope and Liam??? Shouldn't he be hitting on some fine young ladies in town, or even checking out other guys' pecs and arms at the rooftop gym?

For a brief moment, it felt like Selina was genuinely disheartened by Curtis' current state, and it was nice to see. I'm really enjoying what the temporary writers are writing. I know they were likely given a general outline to follow, but they're filling everything in quite nicely.

You're enjoying these temp writers? Really???  OK then.

And watch the real Days. Victor’s storyline makes it worth watching today 

The problem is that "the real Days" is mixed in with the "WTF Days."

Those solid Victor scenes were in the same episode with the total garbage scenes including Leo, Gwem, Dimitri, and Madonna. That means the tone of the episode varied WIDELY from scene to scene, and it didn't work.

I mean Port Charles had a doctor in a wheelchair who performed surgery just fine, and did other things just fine, even having sex lol , GH could take notes

Yep, it's just ridiculous.

Honestly, I know we're in Scab Writer Land, but these GH scribes seem to be REALLY awful. They're a HUGE dropoff from the regular writers.

Can anyone explain why it would be SO hard and near impossible for Curtis to operate his nightclub? Is this really the message to send about someone in a wheelchair?

I think they are trying (and failing) to create an optical illusion that the set/room is bigger than it is - in all honesty, they would probably be better off with just building two normal corner walls and just work with the camera angles (though ideally they'd just give them more room to build their sets).

Maybe I'm missing something. I don't understand how piecing flats like that creates an optical illusion of a bigger room.

I know I harp on how bad DAYS' sets are, but here's an example. Look at the wall behind Wally Kurth. The flat is pieced just a foot or so to the left of the door. It's also pieced a few inches from the draperies on the left.

Who builds houses/apartments this way? This is standard on so many DAYS sets that I can't believe it -- and no other soap does it. It looks cheap and ugly.

Jen Lilley is an Evangelical NUTJOB.
