GL: Week of Nov. 19th

OK, GL people, it's time to get in here and talk about what's happening in Springfield.

I'm intrigued by the idea of a Gus/Olivia pairing. I'm also looking forward to more Coop and Ashley and finding out what Edmund is up to. Is their any hope he can save us from having to watch Josh become a minister? If so, I say free pass on all those times he tried to kill Reva/Richard (and even Cassie) :P

Edmund's return has been terrific, IMO. I wish he could stick around longer.

And I'm sorry a so-call reverend (Josh) working to get someone "permanently gone" (Edmund) is wrong on so many levels. Idiotic. First, Josh wants Jeffrey to help Cassie because "he'd walk through a wall for her", then he tells him to back off and now he wants him for the Edmund thing again. They have officially made me despise Josh and Cassie. :angry:

And I FF through most of yesterday's show. I only watched Edmund, Alex and some of the Cyrus stuff. It was just boring, IMO.

Thanks, Julia. We're on the same page with the Reverend.

I'm not "religious" in the organized religion sense, but do consider myself spiritual. And it's just pathetic how they are writing this story. Are TPTB so broke that they can't afford a story consultant to help them write this somewhat respectfully?!?!? It's coming across like none of these writers have ever stepped foot in a church of any kind, much less had someone in their lives that knew something about religion! :angry:

It appears as though this week will be all about The Coopers, so I'm not planning on tuning in much. I would have liked to have seen a Thanksgiving with the Bauers or Lewises or Spauldings (I won't even mention the Reardons) - but I guess the only one that EW/DK care to show us are the Coopers. Ugh.

Of course she's not even gonna try, she's a cheap, selfish ho. She doesn't care if she breaks her niece's heart in a thousand pieces and rips what's left of her family to shreds, when Harley gets the hots for a guy, any guy, she takes him no matter who gets hurt. She doesn't care. She stabbed Dinah, who had been a very loyal friend to her, in the back by sleeping with Mallet. She nearly destroyed Phillip and Rick's friendship by sleeping with Rick to get revenge on Phillip for sleeping with Beth. And she came extremely close to sleeping with Dylan just this past summer, knowing that Dylan was falling in love with her again but that she was just mad at Gus. She just doesn't care about anyone but herself. Not even her own kids. Can you imagine how confused and messed up those boys are gonna be when they see Mommy going around with their own cousin's boyfriend just weeks after another surrogate daddy walked out on them? I'd love to see Buzz take Frank and Harley by the scruffs and knock some sense into their empty skulls.

      . This show is so stupid. Sonny killed an FBI agent less than a year ago by shooting him at point blank range. But the new short bald man is much much worse cause he was a bad guy in some part of Africa and managed to not kill Lucky, Isaiah, Jason, or Anna. This show is crippled by the mob all these years after Guza has been long gone.    Laura is literally saying oooo but Sonny is a good mobster for Port Charles. Give me a [!@#$%^&*].ing break. Sometimes I don’t know why I watch this joke of a show.
    • With all the changes Sunny was one of the longest running characters by that time.  She had never been married and had heaps of story potential. I can see America getting with SFT -you know 'the circus soap'. Smart move because circuses were all the rage with the kids in the 80's. Maybe Stu and Jo could have bought the circus.
    • It is actually pathetic, that Victor’s 50 year old children are still written as scared of this man that has to sit in every scene. I get it, EB has been on the show for almost 50 years, but I don’t care. He’s a man in his 80’s and should not be the damn lead and driving force because you don’t want to upset Eric Braeden ‘s fragile ego that only exists because the writers have cowtowed to this man for so long.
    • PREACH Victor being written as he was 20 years ago to support EB's ego or some misguided belief that what worked decades ago is still relevant is destroying the show. Victor comes off as a rambling old fool holding on to vendettas and a desperate need for perceived power. His children still cow-towing to him makes them look equally foolish. If the writing portrayed Victor as  more of an irritant to them then maybe it would work.
    • They desperately need another meeting spot that isn’t Orphy Genes or the Country club. Y&R is awful now but there’s at least GCAC, Crimson Lights, Society, and the Jazz room at GCAC to meet at. 4 places is definitely better than 2 and I can’t imagine these rich folks literally only eat at their damn country club.
    • I support all of this. 80 year old Victor reading lines off the table or teleprompter until it’s time to yell at someone and still being the main man driving story on the show is absolutely ridiculous to me and one of the biggest issues with the show. I respect Braeden for wanting to keep working in his old age is great and all, but WHY IS HE THE LEAD?
    • I believe they said 27 sets. We have not seen that many maybe around 20. Perhaps they meant they have space for that number. I would like to see another meeting place -maybe a restaurant that could fit in b/w Orphy's and the Country Club. Casual but classy. Jacob/Naomi need a living room and it would be good if Vern/Anita had a smaller study/library so they're not always in the same room. I guess budget plays a part. For example, maybe the plan is for Jacob/Naomi to get a home down the track when they become more prominent. I really hope that outdoor sets come into use. A terrace at the Country Club or a few shopfronts-a park maybe. Speculation re June. I would go with a Hayley connection as she needs something else to do apart from whining to Bill. June could  provide some conflict cos I don't see Bill being that interested in having her around. He could try to buy her off, upsetting Hayley or she could overhear/uncover some dirt on Bill so he's forced to keep her around. The parents of Tyrell/Samantha can be held for down the track along with the mystery of Andre's parents. The advantage of a new show is that there is so much from character's pasts that can be used. An ex for Vernon or Anita and various relatives to come out of the woodwork.
    • Oh god I haven’t gotten to that episode yet, you have to be [!@#$%^&*].ing kidding me. I will say to my surprise, the Danny actor no longer bothers me. He has actually improved quite a bit.
    • I hear what you are saying, but I feel there is definitely an opportunity for improvement. If the set problem is to remain, then the whole focus has to change. Business has to take a back seat if there are no sets available to support story. As I have said before return to Jabot and have a number of characters working and interacting there. They seem super reluctant to do it but Victor needs to be a more supporting character.  Eric Braeden seems determined to carry on and that is of course admirable,but keeping Victor as this dominating force has been detrimental. Have a sweet reunion of Sharon and Nick and marry them off for good. Bring on Faith and I'd even have Adamson back as Noah at this point to support Nick/Sharon in a parenting role. They really need to bite the bullet and drop one of the following -Billy, Chelsea, Phyllis or make them recurring like Abby/Ashley with appearances or short term stories when appropriate. Free up some space for new or returning characters- Noah, Allie, Fen, Moses,even a recast Dylan.
