I had no idea Jax was being recasted. Where is Ingo? I hope this temp isnt here for too long

Who was that at teh end talking to Jerry

Why the heck would Elizabeth leave matches low enough for a child to reach? She just made a big deal abotu lecturing Cam about them and then she goes and puts them where he can get to them.

And on Friday's show, I could have sworn, she looked inside the window and Jake was in teh living room, but today she had to run upstairs to get him. WTH?

awful episode. About the only interesting thing is the pregnant woman is supposedly the same person who played Pamela Kingsley 27 years ago on AMC.

Dr Ford is a putz. I don't know how else to describe him. No hospital turns people away like that. And you got me what kind of monks these are. THE NAME OF THE SHMOES is a good title for Lulu's adventure.

The guy at the bar, I can't remember his name but he is on from time to time. Blake Gibbons plays him, I think his name is Coleman? He got Courtney stripping. He recently was on Las Vegas and had almost all his scenes with Vanessa Marcil.

On Friday, Liz first put Jake in the playpen, but then moved him upstairs.

How unethical is the hospital right now? First they have Kelly tell Sam that Carly was her patient, BIG no no, privacy laws? Kelly could get fired for that. Now that annoying Chief of Staff is refusing treatment to a pregnant woman? WTF? Whatever happened to the Hippocratic Oath? Hospitals do have financial aid, trust meI have used it many a time. And why did that stupid ass girl who's name I do not know nor care to find out basically announce that the pregnant woman and Joe were baswically poor? The whole hospital needs to go to HIPPA meetings! Ok, I am off the soapbox

Of course Jason will save the hospital from exploding. Like JP said, it's not Feb so we know it won't blow up.

I guess Willem Defoe hasn't been working much now that he is the temp Jax.

When I was watching today's ep, I said, "This has to be bad writing because I hope American hospitals aren't like that!" LOL How the hell can the refuse to help someone out? That's just insane. I hate Doctor Ford.

:lol:

The medical insurance plot is quite common. I can't even recall the number of shows/movies I've seen where the admitting nurse asks for proof of insurance or either that several pages of forms be filled out before a patient with an emergency can be seen. It's also common that the patients be sent to County or the free clinic. As to whether or not these things actually ever happen, I'm thinking it's exaggerated. I like to think that they attempt to treat patients before they get hung up on administrative issues. GH took that plot to a whole other level when they had both administrators come to the patient and then having Ford look at those soon to be exploding canteens and be adamant about not treating the patient was ridiculous. I know the money to treat her isn't coming out of his pockets so they needed to lighten him up or get Nikolas to go off on him again.

^You got that right, NOTHING is catching my attention thus far, this show is creatively in the crapper at the moment.

The fact that they had to have some psycho hold people at gunpoint just shows how this show will use any excuse to present violence is the purest form of entertainment. GH really needs to learn that it can't rely on contrived violent situations for stories, there's many more options out there. Will this show ever learn though?

JFP, Frons, and Guza (though he isn't there at the moment), SO NEED TO GO....

    • This opened my eyes and appeals to my logic. But, don't you also think that the fact that they are so ill-suited means that, by soap-opera-laws, they aren't a long term item?  I like how Belle is written now, so I appreciate the fact that she is in this story.  But, I don't believe anything will become of it, and I think EJ is going to mess it up very soon.
    • Kristen also raped John post-Paris with a Magic Mirror.  Her pregnancy was "delicate" and they couldn't be intimate.  She had already lost the baby, needed to get pregnant immediately again and set a Stefano tricked out Magic Mirror to hypnotize John and John thought he was  having sex with Marlena.  John woke up the next day and thought it was a dream.
    • The show is only a few months in and still finding it's footing. I'm hoping MVJ has years of story in place for these characters and will pretty much stick to that plan (obviously with tweaking along the way) I do have some issues with the initial structure. Making the Duprees the centerpiece and not having a male with that name. Making Martin Vernon and Anita's would have solved that and made the age of the character more appropriate. I agree about not having a young couple in the beginnings of a romance. And having too many married couples. Jacob and Naomi could be just living together. That makes the possibility of other relationships more viable than within a marriage. Same with Smitty/Martin. Having them married with kids limits the story especially in terms of them as a gay couple.  The white characters existing in another universe is also a problem. That ties in with the workplace/job issues. I don't think they needed the hospital-instead the police station/real estate office or Martin's workplace could have utilized and have Derek/Ashley/Vanessa/Smitty/Shanice etc working and interacting there. ATM too many characters are meeting up in cafes etc-we're not seeing them at work. We needed to see more of how various characters interact eg Jacob/Bill, Ted/Bill. There were a lot of extended family scenes but there should be more one on one to get a sense of character and family dynamics. Leslie is a great character but her bag of tricks is getting over exposed. I would hate that she is kept on and other character's made to look like idiots by accepting her presence. They'll need some good writing and twists to keep her around. We can only hope some of the lesser actors improve as I don't want too many recasts or writeouts. So it's early days and I look forward to seeing the show evolve. And give the Duprees some staff!
    • Thanks. I barely remember any of the backstory there, just his ties to her parents. It was all so convoluted, everything with Tangie.
    • 81 and 82 were rather bad, with the infamous invasion of the Kirkland family. But sometime in late 82 or early 83, Claire Labine was rehired as head-writer and immediately put the focus back on the Ryan's. This time Labine's tenure was short, but she did great work. The entire show was compelling again -- especially the Charlotte Greer storyline (one of the best plots of the entire series).  But Labine was fired, yet again, and Ryan's Bar was bombed, resulting in most of the action being transferred to Greenberg's Deli, and a focus on younger characters with little connection to the Ryan family. So that is what you are probably seeing from 84.   
    • It wasn't that altruistic. He made Tangie a substitute for Blake and was apparently so creepy about it that Tangie spent the years in between getting away from him and running into him in Springfield believing that he had purchased her to be his child bride. It was only when she got to know Blake that she realized that she realized his feelings for her were paternal and suddenly she and Roger became friends.
    • When I watched 1999 Daytime Emmys in real time, I was like "Daytime Emmys will never top this" and that's exactly what happened (at least IMO).
    • Yes in Sami's case lots of people took issue with her being with Dumbell Austin outside of the Carrie issue, cause she drugged him and raped him by pretending to be Carrie. Austin didn't consent & well Ejami fans have used that as a smokescreen against the backlash of Sami & EJ being paired. It's also not so much as being paired with someone period, but paired with his victim & his victim sister. That's a line that should never be crossed by Belle/EJ esp Belle cause Sami isn't the only person in her family that EJ has terrorized. For all points and purposes since she was aged to a teen, Belle has been a daddy's girl so on top of the betrayal when it comes to Sami it's also with John. He ran him down & murdered him after raping her sister. On top of all the other evil [!@#$%^&*] he has done. "Good dick", ONS with a monster one time is one thing we all have lapses of judgements, it's whole different thing to be a whole bird who throws her self respect out the window for a roll in the hay relationship with a monster & act like you have selective amnesia about his many crimes towards your family. While getting on your self righteous hoiler than thou horse about others. No there wouldn't be as much as outrage if he was paired with someone like his equally rapey Black family terrorizing sister, or Ava, Gabi or even Nicole. So it's not as much as about him being paired with someone period, it's more of who he should never be paired with his rape victim, her sister's or anyone in the family of the man he viciously ran down. I don't expect much of anything from EJ but I expect a lot more from Belle. As far as Kristen goes Brady has been called everything but the word of God rightfully so for being with his rapist, his brothers rapist, the psycho who terrorized his parents for decades, family, the woman he claimed to love after she violated her by using a mask of her face

      to pretend to be her so he would sleep with her. Drugging his sister ie,: Sami. If Kristen was paired with someone that wasn't her victim or victims like Alex, Xander, [!@#$%^&*] even Ben no one would really care for the most part. So I hope this gives you a little insight and I hope you know I wasn't trying to be rude.
    • Speaking of Emily, I really wish that Marie Masters could do a Locher Room. I haven’t seen anything about her in years!
    • 1980/81 Dallas was a killer show. 18/23 episodes finished #1 and the remaining five finished 2nd.
