GH: Week of Jan 28


Recommended Posts

  • Members

You're talking about a teenager right? Like I said, she softened up after the rape.

We'll just have to remain on opposite sides regarding this because as bad as Elizabeth may seem to you, as an adult, I don't recall seeing the character do anything with malicious intent. She's done a lot of wrong and stupid things but as vindictive as she's gotten is issuing idle threats to Sam which is basically nothing. Now I've heard her blame Sam for what happened because Sam was blaming Elizabeth and in that situation it makes sense for her to redirect the blame to Sam. I haven't heard her just flat out blame Sam without provocation. I can't speak on her blaming Ric since I missed it. And I think I'm looking at placing blame differently than you are since I still think that she's mainly brought up the above as justification for not telling as opposed to flat out saying it's all their fault. Lucky and Maxie were a catalyst for her actions. Ultimately she is responsible for her choices but in a very big way, her choice was made as a result of what they did. I don't condone it though.

She's done some of that on GH as well but it doesn't change what I said about her. She let jealousy get the better of her and she apologized on GH (I don't know about NS). She's still a fundamentally good character and she didn't plan to dole out revenge on Leyla outside of work. She didn't come up with ways to make Patrick pay. She's had her moments but she's not malicious.

Even better why didn't Lucky bring him to the hospital and why did Lucky have Jake at the house but not Cameron? I think the writing is extremely Jake centered that Cameron is an after thought nowadays.

There are at least two ways to view the nightmare issue: get help for the nightmares (i.e., get them under control so that the children won't be frightened) or be around the children. Since the whole purpose of that little plot is to show that she's plagued and looking for a safe place then being with Jason makes sense. I'll just be a pop psychologist and suggest that the point is that she's stressed and she needs to take care of herself before she can be any good to her children. Her initial instinct was to go and get her kids and she ran into Sam so now she's on edge and she needs to calm down. Maybe Jason can offer her some support. Personally, I'd go home and hover over my children and Jason because I wouldn't play that you're dangerous but safe game at all. It's just way too stupid.

for me, the main diff between sam and liz is that sam BLAMES people for what she does an acts as if what she did is okay because of that. liz pionts out the facts and actions leading up to what she did, not as an excuse, but as a reason. there is a huge diff between a reason and an excuse.

Liz blamed Ric last summer around the time of Jason's trial. As for Sam, she has blamed her for the ONS to other people like Jason and Lucky, which is ludicrous since Sam had nothing to do with her going over to Jason's place and having sex

Yeh thats why I said months around the finale, meaning on GH. Robin is just annoying bc she has a nasty attitude now. She snaps at people to quickly and has more "bitchy" moments now than she did in the past. No, she's not a bad person but she isnt all sweet and good like Georgie was

They explained the first part by saying Cameron was over at a friends house

Well we can agree that the last part was stupid. Lame plto device tohave her involved in the hit and run mystery

Sam vs. Liz, Part 2,560,987. Anybody out there who doesn't mind either Sam and Liz particularly? :lol: BTW, I did enjoy Sam kicking and punching the TMK. I wonder if he might be Diego Alcazar after plastic surgery? Or Zander? Great why to ruin two characters already off the canvas. <_<

I think the Kate/Sonny love child (if there is one) is Johnny Zucchini. TPTB seem to adore this character for some reason.

I really must not have been paying attention. I do notice that when it comes to Carly, Elizabeth, Sam and Lucky that their dialogue tends to be the most contradictory of all the characters. If Jason did as much talking then his probably would be as well.

Robin has always been annoying to me for the most part. She's always sounded to me as if she has a stuffy nose and she's always seems to nag men to the extreme. But I'm used to her. I don't like that whole Leyla hing and I think the snapping is better than the nagging when it happens.

Most of the show is lame but I still love something about GH and it could merely be nostalgia. I don't even want to sort out the why. As of now, I can't claim to really like any specific character. I don't even hate any of the characters--no matter how annoying. I do, however, find a number of them to be useless but almost any of them could leave without the show missing a beat. The romance and adventure that defined GH went away quite some time ago.

If Sam was so big on admitting her mistakes, why did just the other day Sam try to spin what Liz told Lucky as Liz lying and not wanting Lucky and Sam to be happy? That bitch had no intention of telling Lucky what she did to the boys. She was begging and pleading Liz not to tell her dirty little secret when every five minutes she was in Liz's face telling her that she was gonna tell Lucky the truth about Jake.

Sam wasnt goign to tell before. She was afraid. But then she had that talk with Alexis on Wednesday and she told Sam that she had to be completely honest with Lucky. Thats exactly what Sam was planning on doing as she was going to confess but he admited that he already knew before she could get the words out

If there was something in that scene to support this I'd agree with you but apparently somewhere in between the scene with Alexis and the scene with Lucky, the confession went out the window. The only thing she confessed was her feelings. The dialogue you quoted is ambiguous because it sounds more like the truth was how she feels about him not what she did. During that whole scene she had ample opportunity to confess but after uttering those words she told him that he can't believe what Elizabeth says. I don't see how that substantiates what she was going to do. Lucky spoke slowly enough that she had time to jump in and beat him to the punch but she didn't bother.

That scene played out as if she were only planning to say that she had developed unexpected/planned feelings for him in the middle of her scheming---not as if she were planning to come clean. They deliberately wrote it that way with the intent of giving him reason to dismiss her. Clearly she had plenty of time to interject and by saying that Elizabeth was lying without knowing what Elizabeth had even said points to her not planning to tell.

i agree

this is what it comes down to for me is that did sam want to tell lucky? yes. did she no

furthermore, the entire liz vs sam thing - did you see how liz told lucky? he over heard, he knew, he begged her to truth him tol be an adult and tell him the truth and let him decide. she did. she really was conflicted, she wnated that sknaky bitch away from her kids, and who can blame her?, but she didnt want lucky hurt again. thats why i can support liz. shes a good person, who screws up. sam is a horrid person who sometimes does the right thing.

    • To me, that made no difference. The point stands whether Eva wants to be a Dupree or not. Anita was 110% on top of things. Also it's a logical inference that Eva might be interested in having a place in her supposedly real family. Frankly though I wonder if Eva knows how to feel ... yet. She could really be confused.

    • Concluding 1976... Raymond Schafer arrives in Springfield and begins an extensive probe into Malcolm’s death, puzzling Ed, who wonders why most of Schafer’s question sessions keep turning back to Rita’s involvement with Malcolm. Ed assures the man that Rita’s only connection with Malcolm was as his nurse; he is unaware that Schafer knows a great deal more about Rita than he does. Just to protect Rita, Ed has Mike check on Schafer’s credentials, and learns that he’s a  well-respected criminal attorney. The waitress at the restaurant where Malcolm suffered his stroke tells Schafer that the woman who was with him reacted very professionally to the sudden emergency, as if she were a nurse. Realizing that her little sister has fallen hard for Tim, Rita warns him that she’s very vulnerable and innocent, but Tim tells Rita her advice isn’t necessary. But Tim then receives a plum job offer to be chief neurological resident at a prestigious Philadelphia hospital and can’t pass up the opportunity. Evie is crushed by the news and spends the next several days at home crying. Joe Werner, fully recovered, has accepted a post as a medical aide in a destitute village in India and leaves alone, with Sarah to follow him later. Justin asks Sarah to consider a partnership with him in private practice, but she explains that she thrives on the hospital atmosphere. When a call comes from India that Joe has had another massive attack, Sarah leaves on the next available flight and arrives only moments before he dies. The painful news is relayed back to Cedars at once. Sara returns from India a heartbroken woman, but the day-to-day involvement of raising T.J. and of her career seem to be her salvation. Justin shows a surprisingly compassionate and understanding side to Sara, but, ironically, Justin’s ex-wife, Jackie, arrives in Springfield with her diabetic father, who is suffering from a heart attack. In the process of consulting with Justin on her father’s condition, Jackie comes face to face with Sara for the first time since their college days. Evie’s heartbreak at Tim’s departure turns to fury and hatred when she inadvertently discovers a letter which Tim wrote to Rita just after he left. In it he concedes that Rita was right about Evie’s vulnerability where he was concerned but reminds Rita that he badly hurt her in the same way she feared Evie would suffer. Evie is now sure that Rita somehow forced Tim to leave town and is livid at the idea that Tim was Rita’s lover. She insists she’s cutting off her relationship with Rita and will pay her back for any help she’s received in the past. Ben and Hope’s wedding plans are off, as Ben, while still insisting he’s innocent, won’t explain why the robbery evidence points to him. Hope feels his unwillingness to tell her the truth makes marriage to him impossible, but confides to Ann that she is miserable without him. Ben has echoed these sentiments to Mike but won’t confide in him, either as Hope’s father or as an attorney.   Holly is trying very hard to build a life without Ed, but since she sees him virtually every day at work,she’s unable to put him out of her mind. She accepts a date with a member of the hospital administration staff but is unable to avoid making comparisons between Ed and this young man and winds up alone, sadly holding Ed’s picture and recalling how much she loves him. Believing that the hospital board’s conclusions on Grainger’s death have settled the question once and for all, Rita has regained her self-confidence, and her romance with Ed is growing daily. They admit their love for each other, and Ed confides that he intentionally  held back with Rita for fear of making another mistake. Rita then tells Ed she has never married because for her marriage must be forever. Rita’s mother realizes that Rita is truly in love when she confides in her that she doesn’t understand why she’s been so lucky in having him love her and how she wants to be the very best person she can be for him. Ed proposes marriage to Rita and gives her time to think about it before answering. Rita painfully realizes that her past could, if it rose again against her, make a life with Ed a lost dream. But Raymond Shaefer has been quietly but efficiently carrying on his investigation and has learned that Grainger argued with Rita at her apartment. He presents the evidence he’s compiled to District Attorney Eric Van Gelder, who decides the case warrants further investigation. Rita goes to Ed’s office to tell him she loves him but can’t marry him, that she doesn’t deserve him and “can’t do it to him.” As she turns from a confused Ed to leave, she finds the district attorney and a police officer outside Ed’s door, waiting to arrest her. Ed, insisting that a serious mistake has been made, calls Mike to help her as Rita, shocked and humiliated, is taken under arrest through the hallways of the hospital in which she works. Mike manages Rita’s release on bail only after she has had to submit to the degrading booking procedure. Mike sees her alone at her apartment, explaining he can help her only if she tells him the whole truth. Rita equivocates until Mike mentions Texas, indicating to Rita that he knows at least some of the story. Van Gelder has, in fact, let Mike see the bulk of evidence in the case against Rita, to convince him her arrest wasn’t a capricious whim. Rita explains to Mike that Malcolm believed she intentionally vilified him to his father, to do him out of his rightful inheritance, and then wanted his father dead to collect her money. Mike expresses his appreciation of Rita’s honesty, promising to help her. But Rita’s tormented dreams confirm that she hasn’t yet told all the truth, and after Peggy visits, expressing firm support, Rita tells Roger she has to reveal his part in the story. Roger painfully tells Rita about his being Christina’s father to show her that if Ed knew, it would end Rita’s chances with him forever. Rita, who was ready to tell Ed the whole story, now realizes how risky that would be. Adding to Rita’s pain is her forced leave of absence from the hospital until she’s cleared and the embarrassment of seeing her name in the headlines.

    • Yes, but the stories are all pretty awful Seeing Victor rehashing his hatred of the Abbotts  when he married one of them and has a daughter that is half Abbott as well as walking around with Traci's daughter's heart keeping him alive makes him look worse than he already is. And I remember he and Jack chatting amicably in the past few years. Victor interfering in Kyle/Claire is just repeat of Billy/Victoria. Sharon, Nick,Phyllis etc are around but again the stories are lacking.
    • I think Kevin's 1996 Emmy was fair enough. He barely appeared for his second. I don't think anyone else on the list is that deserving but I might have gone with Moore as he did try with the whole Keesha AIDS story. @alwaysAMC Thanks to slick jones' cast list I was able to see that Nikki Rene played Tina. Not much on her, as you mentioned. Tap and a few Broadway listings (it doesn't help that a younger actress with a similar name is in a lot of roles).

    • Thank you. That does ring a bell. I remember Theresa and Julian's drunk, giggly fake wedding (with Julian asking "Whassup?" to the minister). Was Bruce tricking the pair as a prank, or did somebody put him up to it? I especially liked Katherine recalling how dashing young Alistair was when he'd pick up Rachel for dates, and how she wished she could be her sister, then feeling guilty once Rachel had her boating accident ...
    • And Kevin Mambo beat Shemar Moore for those two Emmys. I chalk up the wins to the voters not wanting Jonathan Jackson to eventually end up with a five peat (he won 1995, 1998, 1999). These were the 1996 and 1997 Younger Actor races. 1996: Nathan Fillion, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow 1997: Steve Burton, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow
