Hey RVD! Long time no see- how have you been? :)

I tried watching today, but I guess I was expecting something different with the Jonathan/Lizzie scenes. I guess it wasn't quite the explosive scene that I expected it to be. But their on-location shots sucked and I'm growing very weary of the day of 2.28.08 to arrive.

Mandy Bruno's acting performance was beyond pathetic. She gets an F-.

However, it was nice to see the previews for tomorrow sponsored by Cheerios Cereal. It's one of my favorite cereals ever since I was a little child :)

Every time I see Josh in that church, I step back because I'm sure my TV is going to explode. Today was no exception when he found out about Sarah being alive. He was totally find with Reva keeping this secret. The both of them Josh/Reva) should have been struck down right then and there.

I will never for the life of me will ever believe Josh to remain the man of the cloth....

I was beyond tired of Marina and all her whinings for Cyrus; same goes for Harley... Tired of Alan lurking about all over the place;

Why do they always feel the need to throw folks in a 'relationship' together? I see nothing but a hot mess coming with the whole Lizzie/Bill stuff, especially now that Jon is back..

After a few episodes I can officially say that the return of Jonathan sucks! First TP doesn't seem to be into it at all. It's all about making Lizzie look good. Just like the return of Edmund was to make Cassie, Josh, and the rapist look like angels.

What I'd like to know is, what couple am I suppose to like? No one is likable on the show.

Bill/Lizzie is the result of one night stand. I'm not sure why they got together in the first place and I'm not even sure what they have in common. Bill is a completely different person from when he left, this thing is NOT Bill Lewis. What was the point of him being blind anyway? And I still don't know why he's so angry or whatever he is. Lizzie is still this self-centered bitch but the writers are determine to erase anything bad that she did and making her a heroine that I HAVE to feel sorry for and from reading the boards, it seems to be working. MR and DC don't have chemistry. It's like there's a wall between the two actors. And MR is not good actress, but that's my opinion.

Harley- Where is she?- Where the strong Harley that I used to love? I don't know this character right now. Cyrus is a pig and Marina is still boring as ever.

What is the point of Gus/Natalia/Olivia?

Cassie and Josh are loathsome.

Reva is with a rapist.

I liked Dinah and Mallet at the beginning but they're done. I thought Dinah and Mallet would work together after her shooting.

I have no idea why some people are saying the show is getting better. I just don't see it. EW and DK are still destroying characters, the writing is a complete mess and as long as they are both still there, it doesn't matter how many set they change or that they tape outside, GL is still crap.

Exactly. When you look at the past crimes that Josh Lewis has committed, then you would scratch your head and ponder how this man could be a man of cloth. I just want this minister thng over with. It's worse than Maryanne Caruthers, Paintng jumping Reva, and Psychic Reva all combined. Okay, maybe I'm being a little bit harsh, but you get what I'm saying, right?

You know, I miss Aubrey Dollar's portrayal of Marina Cooper.She just had that gutsy spunk that hasn't been seen in such a long time. In fact, Marina kind of reminded me of a young gutsy spunky Harley Davidson Cooper, but that Marina has been missing in action ever since Aubrey Dollar left the show. True, Mandy Bruno i a WHOLE lot better than Kit Paquin, but still....

Alan Spaulding and I should probably say the whole entire Spaulding family has turned into a major cartoon. I just laugh whenever I see the Spauldings on television it's that pathetic.

That question is so easy to explain and it goes something like this. Ellen Wheeler is simply pulling out whatever it is out of her ass.

Word, miss wolf.

As I might've said before, I think Bill/Lizzie would work a whole lot better, if their setup had been more organic; and if DC had a better on-screen partner than MR. That young Dolly Parton lookalike is so not Phillip and Beth's child.

Oh I couldn't agree more. I can't understand the praise MR is getting. Next to DC she looks more like a 12 year old. Today both MR and DC were just awful. This story is not working at all, DK has once again failed...I want DK and EW to be fired so badly!! :angry:

Just out of curiosity, what message board (I'm assuming) are people saying that Guiding Light is getting better? Cause I'd like to go over there and give all of them a rude awakening...

Just kidding. But I am curious though because I would like to read their posts. :lol:

There seems to be a lot of tweens and teens watching GL (mainly because of the Jon/Tammy s/l) and they rate the show highly. Now that Jon/Sarah and Tammy the ghost have returned my guess is that the ratings will go up.

GL has been a snoozefest for a long time now and once it turns into PettyCoat Junction (in February), things might get worse ( if that's possible ).

Well I'm not teen :D I am/was a fan of Jonathan, Tammy and Jammy and I hated their ending - and I hate the return. It's a waste. And I'm not alone in thinking this, believe me.

Maybe the ratings will rise a little but so many viewers have been so disgusted by EW and DK and their destruction of great characters, I'm not sure they'll ever watch the show again. No matter who comes back.

    • I'm curious the motivation for keeping Bela on beyond the circus story arc.  Did he play a character like his character on EON, or was he more of a good guy? I know he ended up with Sunny at the end of the series, but I always thought that Sunny/Hogan could have been revived once the lack of chemistry between him and the NuLiza became apparent.   Actually... the NuLiza (Louan Gideon) reminded me more of Sunny than she did Liza as played by Sherry... and she just threw off the whole vibe of the show. I see Estelle has just arrived in the late October 1985 episodes, which only means that Wendy and Stephanie are soon on their way out.   It also appears that the Sarah/Quinn/Wendy triangle was set up by Mayer.. and it looks as though Tomlin is going to deactivate it by the introduction of Colleen Dion's character.   I don't understand why no one on the show thought to look at Quinn and realize that he was the problem and write him out.

    • I kind of assume they're toning down Rachel's bad seed tendencies a bit to make it less obvious if they're going for her as the shooter. At least that's what I hope they're doing - I've really enjoyed Rachel being a bratty evil DiMera princess and Marlena finally getting a grandchild she deserves.

      . 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?
