Even though I wasn't surprised by the "twist" that Annie was alive (I mean, really. I've been watching soaps long enough to know better and pretty much assumed it was staged), it was kind of weird because I was watching ABC-NY and they preempted it in the middle of the show for a traffic accident. So it was kind of jarring to literally go from Richie panicking at the Cumstain Comeback, to seeing Ryannie toasting each other at the yacht club.

Apparently they're happy they gave Richie a taste of his own medicine? Huh? :blink: How, exactly, did that work? This storyline's making no sense, Ryan's becoming unbearable, and I'm just getting bored.

Haha - my mom actually called me last night and goes, "Did you watch the soap today? Dad and I are trying to figure out what the hell is going on! Is Annie dead or alive?" I explained to her that Annie/Ryan are trying to make Wes seem crazy and off his rocker, much like he's been doing with Annie lately. So now Babe and Tad might believe he's a little...off.

ITA about Ryan - he is so on the bottom of my character list lately.

Old woman?? :D:o I think you've been watching Frons era soap operas too long ;)

What I don't get about giving Richie a taste of his own medicine--they go on about what a sociopath he is so don't they realize the big risk of doing this would be it woul djust make him more dangerous and mad at them? I don't get it either

Anyone else see the chemistry whenever Josh and Zach share a scee and they touch? LOL Or am I just looking for too many things to fixate on when I find a scene dull ;)

not only that but Kendall herself isnt using or attempting to learn sign language bc in her mind Spike doesnt need it since that will be fixxed when he gets his implant. She doesnt want Spike to get used to communicating without his hearing which is why I think she doesnt use it with him. Greenlee using it only reinforces that he has this issue and if someone was going to use sign with him, its going to be her, his mother, not the woman that messed him up in the first place

I loathe the pathetic way Greenlee is being written. She whines, whines, whines, shrinks back every time Kendall rightfully bitches at her when she does something dumb, like signing to the kid she made deaf, and the list goes on and on. Who is this pod, and what they have they done to Greenlee? RB is probably flipping the bird to Sabine and the network right now.

Then WHY in the heck did she bring Spike to see Greenlee???????????????????????? It's just ridiculous.

And I don't buy the fact that Kendall only got mad just bc it was Greenlee signing to him. She's made it obvious she'll get bitchy to anyone who DARE uses sign language to her poor little deaf boy.

No, she won't. She didn't get upset when Ryan signed to Spike today, and she told Greenlee during their conversation that Annie is teaching her to sign to Spike herself.

She just doesn't want Greenlee signing to Spike because it's a blatant reminder, and it's just all kinds of wrong.

It's because Sabine can't handle the role, so it's being watered down to fit her mediocre (at best) skills. I totally agree. Watching SabineLee shrink and flinch whenever Kendall has a bitch fit is a total joke! :rolleyes: And then the blubbering and whimpering... dear GAWD!

Except for the almighty Ryan. He signed "I Love You" to Spike before Kendall and Joe took him to the exam, and she didn't spew a single droplet of venom.

But, that's what I'm saying. If Kendall's going to play this revenge thing, then play it for all its worth. STOP IT with the flop flopping. "Let's be friends -- NO, GET AWAY FROM ME!" "Let's take the next step and come see Spike -- NO, DON'T YOU DARE LOOK AT HIM!!" "Let's hang out again tomorrow -- NO, DON'T RUSH THINGS!"

I'm bored with this psycho bitch, already. Real Kendall wouldn't come up with her schemes, and then be afraid to go through with them 100%. This back and forth with her makes absolutely no sense. The only thing she doesn't seem to have a problem with is writing her psycho babble fake journal entries.

I agree. I hate the stupid Kenlee overtones being added to the scenes to show Kendall being conflicted over what she's doing to Greenlee. Let her own her revenge, and yes I know she's Kendall so she must pay for it, but let her have some fun with it like Zach is having with his evil twisted equally stupid plan.

Instead the Kendall revenge plot is full of whiny pathetic Greenlee squirming around like a kicked puppy when just two weeks ago she was in the NICU haughtily saying she's never going to leave Kendall alone. WTF? When she she flip the script and revert to victim? This would be much more fun if both girls were allowed to stay true to character and not be dumbed down for the sake of the plot.

I think they just want Aidan to ride in as Greenlee's savior and whisk her off into the Graidan romance that will surely come to a halt when they reach a point of conflict leaving Aidan as a ruined bump on the road. That's the only reason I can figure that Greenlee is acting so stupid about Kendall's intentions. She's not even skeptical? Greenlee knew Kendall longer than Aidan, and he knows it's BS.

    • He also lost the woman he was going to marry, under very sudden circumstances.  
    • I agree.  Rena doesn't seem to mind the lighter workload and seems happy though. Strangely, a lot of the veteran cast are without viable love interests-Sonny, Nina, Lois, Jason, Tracy, Alexis, Carly (Brennan doesn't count).  The show lacks serious interest in romance.
    • I just can't wait until next week when we can go back to a full weeks worth of episodes. 3 episodes and a mid-week gap has been so difficult to deal with, especially in light of how good the show is.
    • I always hoped they'd change Parker's paternity back to Phillip.  I guess it doesn't matter since Chloe is off the show currently.  I don't recall Holly or Maggie mentioning Parker, so it's not they are close to him. 
    • I’ve reached the summer of 1998.  Until now, my impression has been that the show has steadily improved since the great quality dip of 1994, reaching as high as 8/10 in 1997. Sure, I could complain about a few things in 1997 (Claudia got wasted after her initial storyline; Thorne’s feelings for Taylor were a bit too sudden; the storyline where Sheila lived with James and Maggie while pregnant got rather boring; Mike periodically revisiting Sheila despite being on the run from authorities), but overall it was a very strong year.  I liked the Thorne/Taylor/Ridge triangle, the mystery plot about who shot Grant, the sham wedding to trap Sheila, Stephanie/Eric/Lauren, and Clarke manipulating his way back to working at Forrester. I even liked the Greenland storyline with Eric/Lauren/Rush, although I had expected to hate it. Maybe 1996 tops 1997 in raw soapy excitement (especially as Sheila got a chance to interact with a larger canvas of characters), but certain problems with overall storyline cohesion puts it somewhat below 1997 for me. Unfortunately, early 1998 has turned out to be a bit of a speedbump, perhaps on par with 1995 levels of quality: - Maggie’s character really got trashed after James left her to be with Sheila, and the early 1998 storylines where she imprisoned Sheila in the house from Psycho, or installed those wires and mikes and such in her house to make her think she’s going crazy, were total GARBAGE. So much so that the latter storyline (and Maggie with it) pretty much disappeared into a limbo.  - I have mixed feelings about the twins plotline with Lauren. No way did Rush survive being shot with a crossbow through the chest, and the romance between Lauren and Rush’s good twin brother Johnny was rather dry to me. I did however enjoy the camp aspect of Rush taking his brother’s place to be with Lauren, and Eric rescuing her. But it doesn’t appear like Bell cared too much about the Johnny/Lauren romance beyond the twin storyline gimmick, and it too disappeared in an unsatisfactory manner (come on, why not hire Johnny’s actor for just 5 more episodes for an arc where he realizes Lauren is not over Eric, or JUST SOMETHING?) - Clarke wormed his way back to FC in late 1997, which had exciting storytelling potential, but then he disappeared almost entirely. Sad to see my favorite character wasted in this manner. Does he get anything interesting to do between now and the Morgan saga of 2000-2001? - The Thomas saga was entertaining in 1997, but it got stretched out too much, and made some of early 1998 tiresome, with Ridge having to decide YET AGAIN which woman he wants to be with. On the plus side, I like the plotline of Thorne being neighbors with Macy and Grant, and we’ve finally been introduced to the SORASed Rick/Amber/CJ crowd. The Stephanie/James/Sheila triangle is also starting, and it makes me excited (I remember seeing some if it in my childhood). I know Sheila, Grant, and James are all leaving soon, which I honestly kind of dread - between them and Clarke’s near-absence, it feels like herd is going to get culled too much in the near future. But I know there’s the familiar 1999-2002 to look forward to.
    • LOL - this is a perfect description, and that's what I loved about it! May be a bit campy, but it immediately caught my attention in a good way.  I'm not familiar with the Fishing Trip storyline, I'll have to look that up. I've noticed that about Josh, which has made him less attractive to me overall. He just yells a lot when he's not happy. Wow, Reva was married to HB!  LOL - "Always... eventually, and again"
    • I love your ideas. I would love to see Jack grown up this confused unhinged individual. He should hold a grudge against both Brooke and Taylor.

    • Lois's return has been a bust. So disappointing that the writers have never written for her. As with Tracy, the pool of GH vets is so thin, there's no one to pair her with. Doubtful they would go to the trouble of properly recasting a legacy character and then sticking  him with Lois; they're obviously not that invested. If she wants to be on this show, it'll be as a noisy grandma who stays in the background. 
    • I love me some Anita and TT. They need to give her a good storyline and I know that it's coming.
