GH: Monday

[Cat]

I wonder if Becky Herbst realises how badly her character has been ruined. Because she's doing a good job at playing her as a lying, hypocritical skank at the moment.

Elizabeth won't lie on the stand about the ONS with jason, but she WILL lie about Jake being Jason's son? WTF?

And the way BH is playing it, it's like she doesn't even love Lucky. Her heart is with Jason, and only him. If that's the case, why stay with Lucky? I don't buy this "Jason's lifestyle is too dangerous" stuff. I think it's because Liz knows she'd never be #1 in Jason's heart. That top spot belongs to SonnyJason's gun.

Are you forgetting the secret about Michael's paternity or the one about Kristina which went on from summer 2002 to Nov of 2004? Guza loves to drag paternity secrets out

Holy Cow......enough with the paternity crap. Tell Lucky for the love of everything.....lol!! This is dragging on too long. It's taking the whole story and ruining it. When it finally comes out noone is going to care!!

First, I can't speak of Michael's paternity secret, because I didn't start watching GH regularly until early spring 2000 (via SOAPNet) -- long after Jason left and Sonny and Carly had gotten together. So I never saw the whole Michael paternity storyline.

Second, in regard to Alexis and Sonny, Guza was working off of McTavish's material. She's the one who impregnated Alexis with Sonny's baby. Guza, clearly, doesn't think highly of Alexis, so I'm sure he was trying to determine if she was worthy enough to carry the child of Saint Sonny. That's most likely why he was toying with the notion that Ned was the father. Because, rumor had it, initially, Guza wanted Sonny's bodyguard Johnny to have raped Alexis off screen explaining the pregnancy, but Maurice and NLG refused to play that angle (notice how Johnny vanished via some off screen betrayl to Sonny and Max was the new doorman).

Third, how many other secrets, in general (which is what I believe I was referring to) have been kept and outed within months on this show? Guza, typically, goes for the big bang rather than the long drawn out story. So that's why I said this is atypical of Guza's style -- not that he's never done it before. The majority of Guza's storylines climax anywhere within four to 13 weeks. Not 13 months.

Exactly. Elizabeth is making me sick, and I welcome Sam rocking her world a bit. Especially since she is about to be the biggest hypocrite in the world and have a problem with Lucky doing exactly what she is doing.

I really don't know what to say about Elizabeth. I love Rebecca Herbst. I think she is a wonderful actress and I find her performences have just the right amount of nuance and I think her portrayal is very realistic and sensitive but I have no clue if Elizabeth is coming or going in most scenes. There are times that I believe Liz loves Lucky (why else would she be doing all this and constructing massive castle like lies if she didn't want or love her husband?) but then she goes running to Jason and it's as if she is willing to throw Lucky under the bus for him. All in all it's just a confusing story with a shiftless (one could argue fickle) female. It's one of the worst things about triangles. No one knows how to write a good one anymore. The women either wind up looking fickle, skanky or bitchy. There is no nuances anymore.

I also just have to laugh at Liz beliving she has the moral high ground over Carly, Ric and Sam. She is nearly just as bad.
