Members Tishy Posted January 31, 2008 Author Members Share Posted January 31, 2008 Holy Smokin Hot! I am a little jealous, my BF's eyes popped out of his head when he saw Sarah. I was very happy that she was on for the whole show and we just didn't see her walk in a bar at the end of the show. Oh and Sonny, nice porn music. I loved how they interacted with the writing of the napkins and the looks. And I am eating my words. I said previously that I would look at her and see Carly. Nope, Total different vibe and attitude from her and I love Claudia (except the name) She was smokin, I cannot wait for her scenes with Maurice tomorrow. Greg Vaughn was on fire today. His scenes with Liz and especially Sam were so amazing. Take that bitch! When will Carly learn? Your kid is heading for killing someone and your wanting another one? Great move. If you are concerned that he is acting up in school, why are you talking about Coop not being the TMK when he is upstairs? How about going outside for some privacy? Didn't you notice that the Devil Spawn ask if Daddy and Jason killed Coop? To me and I think most parents that would be a huge red flag. I was so happy with this show today. Sarah made it for me as did Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Pest Spray Posted January 31, 2008 Members Share Posted January 31, 2008 - Epiphany pisses me the frak off! I haven't been able to stand her since day 1, but god, all the woman does is berate people for talking to each other. GOOD. GOD. - Kate rocks my ass (28/01) and Sonny sucks boots. - Sam > Liz. Someone said on another board that the only thing worse than a selfish bitch is someone who behaves the same way and pretends she isen't. Sam knows she's been horrible. She knows she's made rediculous mistakes. Liz doesn't. Liz thinks the world begins and ends with her and Jason's lovenest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members WillenFan21 Posted January 31, 2008 Members Share Posted January 31, 2008 My friend thinks its some character named Diego Alcazar(sp?) becuase of something that was said today on the show. She said the guy that works at Kelly's(where goergie worked) made a comment about being a photographer and that he take pictures of girls(apperently there was some SL on GH where Diego took pics of girls in college) and so she thinks that this guy is Diego with plastic surgery. She said that she is convinced that is who it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted January 31, 2008 Members Share Posted January 31, 2008 wow, good point and ITA. I like that Sam is a bitch, knows it and she owns that. She doesnt pretend to be anything else or try to come off as a saint. Unlike Liz who is a selfish, hypocrtical bitch just like those she condemns, yet views herself to a higher standard as if she's some innocent angel.

Members anita30 Posted February 1, 2008 Members Share Posted February 1, 2008 Well I pleasently surprised. Yes milk does a body good. Sarah looked good and hot. I love the vibe I get from Maurice and her and well tomarrow looks even sexier. There were hardly any words but the eyes and body language said it all for me. All I need now is some Johnny and Lulu interaction and I will be in heaven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Cat Posted February 1, 2008 Members Share Posted February 1, 2008 What was so great about this episode is that it wasn't Sarah Brown-focused. And it didn't end with that homage to CarSon Hate Sex, thankfully. Most everybody on canvas got some love yesterday under Garin Wolf's direction. Monica was on fire tearing Luke a new one (and the music at the beginning Q scene was so reminiscent of Santa Barbara's background music, I almost cheered. In fact, all the background music was old-skool GH). I love seeing the Qs go beyond the high-jinks. Especially Monica and Tracy! There seems to be purpose behind their snarky humor now, instead of just being filler. Kate and Jax have great chemistry! And I want Kate's lilac-blue coat. Jax really is the Voice of Reason. Carly is deluded. Pest Spray talked about how Sam knows she is a bitch and flawed, while Liz behaves the same way but pretends she is the opposite? Cujo has the same problem. Thinks she's God's answer to Saintly Motherhood -- and let's everybody know it -- when in fact she is WAY far from that particular illusion. I suspect she loves Michael being all "protective" and "manly" of her -- another guy who views her as the center of his universe now that Sonny and Jason are struggling to pull away into a different orbit. Greg Vaughan was a stand-out and I hope this puts to rest some people's perceptions that he is just some ex-model trying to act. GV was so measured and just let the tension and anger and sadness build. Not like an actor with one eye on a possible Emmy reel. He didn't overdo the self-righteous shouting like we've seen Sonny and Jason do -- he just snuffed out all those candles angrily and let that action do the talking. Lucky was written as a human being yesterday, and not just a plot-point. And, as a consequence, Sam (and KeMo) rose to the challenge, too. The way she stroked his face, you could tell she has really fallen for him and you could see Lucky's struggle in his eyes, too. The way she reacted wasn't like somebody trying to absolve herself of responsibility, it was a move towards apology and wanting to be honest and explain. I really want LuSam as a pairing now (and I wasn't 100% sold on them before). And what a relief not having Claudia and Sonny yakking it up as SBr and MB try to outdo each other's scenery chewing. The looks and silent gestures were perfect. Sarah Brown, especially, played it just right. Her Carly had been this jittery broad who compulsively played with her hands, usually when she was on the defensive. Masculine and also physically imposing with her height and her curves, at odds with tiny, slight brunettes like Robin, Liz and Brenda. Claudia, by contrast, seems to be very feline and female. However, paradoxically, she doesn't feel as "in your face" physically as Carly was. There was also that moment of uncertainty and shock when Sonny passed her his key. She couldn't quite believe it. Like, did he just do that? Carly wouldn't have thought twice about it. Of course men find her attractive! Sorry for writing so much. It's just I haven't watched a GH episode as good as this in, literally, years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted February 1, 2008 Members Share Posted February 1, 2008 ^no, dont say sorry for posting too much. because you are right. GH has not been this good in years. and it seems that its sweeps time and GH isnt goin a huge event *gasp* but rather telling storys... with people we care about... shocking concept! i wonder if this is how JFP wants GH or id BF has backed off or what. i awlays thought for GH to be good they would nee to get rid of jill, brian, and guza... not just guza...

Members Cat Posted February 1, 2008 Members Share Posted February 1, 2008 You know, I hope this story-telling, character-centric focus is a taste of things to come. Otherwise I will be dreading the end of the Strike. And I'm not sure who is doing the controlling over at GH right now. I do think that the focus on characters has been WAY more balanced under Garin Wolf and I'm wondering whether his work throughout the years on GH's writing staff has given him a deeper appreciation of most of the characters on canvas? And maybe JFP has a hand in that, too. God knows I'm not a fan but she did do some good work on Santa Barbara. She just needs to rein in her urge to a) turn any soap she's on into a police procedural, b ) kill off major vets for a ratings spike and c ) stop firing actresses when they fall pregnant.

Members Wales2004 Posted February 1, 2008 Members Share Posted February 1, 2008 My rambling: I think Carly, Sam and Elizabeth are all hypocritical. Just because Sam might admit that she did a bad thing doesn't mean she's being completely honest and that's the key. Most of her admissions come with a built in excuse anyway. And the current example of how hypocritical she is concerns her insistence that Elizabeth tell Lucky the truth about Jake while she wanted to hold on to all her secrets to ensure she didn't lose Lucky. Owning her flaws doesn't make her less of a hypocrite. Elizabeth comes across more as the character who knows she does wrong but focuses on someone else's wrongdoings based on intent, as in she's not doing a wrong thing with bad intent but the next person is. She's a hypocrite nonetheless. Carly's of the same variety in terms of seeing her intentions as justification but she's a lot more overt than Elizabeth and because her way of going about things is more dramatic, it's more noticeable than Elizabeth's actions. I never see what most people see in the actors. There are probably a handful of actors that I feel deliver each and every time. Then there are another small set that I believe can deliver and are hindered by the writing. The bulk fall in the okay to good category for me. GV has his moments but he's in the bulk category to me. I think it's kind of rare when an actor takes a role and makes it his own and without giving it any thought, the only person on GH I can say that about without reservation is Anthony Geary. I cannot visualize any actor taking over the role of Luke and bringing any layer to it that AG hasn't already or more importantly, couldn't. Even though MB has defined Sonny for me, I can see the possibilily of Sonny taking on another face and different layers. I happened to have been hung up on the idea that only VM could play Brenda since she defined the character but even though I would prefer her in the role, I don't think I'd have a problem with someone else playing her (even though I don't think the role should ever be recast).

Members JackPeyton Posted February 1, 2008 Members Share Posted February 1, 2008 ^ya know, i am walys the first to say that almost any role can be recasted... but... brenda barrett is one of those few roles i just do not think can be. no not because vanessa marcil is the best actress to every walk the planet, but because i think that soooo much of what makes brenda Brenda comes from within Vanessa. Much like Greens on AMC. Yes the role could be recasted, and it could work, but the char would lose a lot of what made that char a char people loved.
