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.

    • They really did; I know the transition wasn't as beautiful as many thought it should have been, but at least with Mulcahey at the helm, I felt like there was going to be resolve at some point... even if we didn't know what it was at the time. Seeing everyone turn against Sonny, except for Ava (with her mysteriously nefarious reasons), was beautiful to see. Plus, Mulcahey swiftly fixed Alexis' law license issue that had dragged on far too long. Again, was it perfect? No. But did I get a sense that Mulcahey, if given a true chance, could have done some effective changes? Yes. Very glad to know I am not alone in this, and yes, Harper's chemistry with Sawandi Wilson's Isaiah has been lovely. But it seems like every time there is a viable match, TPTB nix it before it can truly begin.
    • Reading all the theories here and on twitter.  Someone wondered if June is connected to Leslie? So now we have June possibly connected to Hayley, to Samantha&Tyrell, or to Leslie. I love that we don't know! To be honest, I didn't think June was connected to any major character.  I thought she was simply a client who might prove to have an interesting backstory.  But then she dropped the photograph, so that has to mean something.
    • Thanks for the factoid, that's so interesting! (The character, though, was not, LOL. Ridiculous storyline). You know what? Even though he was a core family member, I think you are right. I would much rather they had kept Alan Michael on the canvas to represent the second Spaulding generation. (Of course, they would have had to write some good stories for the character, which, who knows if they would/could have). Reva, yes, I agree. Her shelf life expired when she drove that car off the bridge. The ever increasing desperation to keep her character relevant after she came back was very difficult to watch.
    • I don't suppose you have that August 4, 1995 episode @soapfan770 has with Hope throwing Nikki out of The Newman Ranch?
    • I have taken extremely long breaks from the show because of Sonny and I didn’t watch in the 90’s so I didn’t realize this was a crutch the show used all the time. Hell even though Maurice hates it, it was the most I could tolerate Sonny because he was written as the ass.hole he actually is at his core. His meds working again don’t erase all the characters I’ve either liked or accepted that I had to watch he and Jason murder and somehow come out as the good guys.
    • When I saw the pic of two kids on a stoop, I immediately though it was Samantha and Tyrell but that could be a red herring. The picture is quite old so maybe it is Hayley and June. This would help to bring Naomi back into Hayley and Bill's orbit. If June is Tyrell and Samantha's mother, that story would seem to be a dead end - unless Martin and Smitty adopted them through improper means. I did wonder if Anastasia is who Shanice has been chatting with during her shift. Her line to Ted about making her mouth even bigger? I was scandalized. Anastasia has to return soon.
    • I would DIE if Shanice’s mom lived beyond the gates and was just as messy I loved her so much. Give. Me. More. Absolutely loved this scene. Looking forward to more bonding between them. She is such a find. If her agents are smart, they’re booking her on bigger things as soon as possible. I want to see her blow up. She is THAT good to me. Ambyr and Trisha are the stars of this show for me and why I watch. Bingo. This show actually feeling like a soap that moves has made it so hard for me to watch the others anymore. I love you Thank god you said this. I wish we’d stop taking the bait but this needed to be said. White male leads cheat ALLLLLLLL the time. But this poster seems to think omg two black men that cheated decades apart are about to set us back somehow. I’m about to add them to the ignore list with Donna, I’m sick of the baiting. This was perfectly stated. Preach my friend, preach. As for yesterday’s episode I loved it. The show is handling the fall out from the Eva reveal so damn well for me. And I LOVED that Ted final scene holding Eva’s hand. I guess I’m in the minority since the recast announcement was made but I will miss Maurice and his chemistry with all of his costars as Ted and really wish he could’ve played the entire fall out of the story.
    • I would love to see it as part of a backlot shopping district where characters can bump into one another in a more natural way. Lately there has too much getting up and leaving then coming back during meals at Orphey's and Uptown. It's becoming a distraction. There could be shops, more restaurants and a coworking space. All of the "you will never be a Dupree" lines definitely are pointing to this. This is one of my favorite stories. I love stories about show business and MVJ has a background in the music industry so I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes. Anita instigated the breakup - we have already seen her mean streak come out with Hannah and Eva. I expect one member (she called Sharon today) to be holding a grudge and another member (Tracy) to be somewhat bitter but more open to the idea of a tour, playing the role of peacemaker between Anita and Sharon. Maybe Sharon will pull a Mary Wilson and write tell-all about Anita.

    • I would have been more impressed if it hadn't been built on a con (Sonny's meds already being used to make sure he would be exonerated later on). The show has been doing this dance with Sonny since the mid '90s, including Mulcahey's previous stint. I almost prefer them just being honest, as Laura doesn't have a great deal of integrity to lose anyway. The problem is Sonny is just completely spent as a character. If he wasn't, we wouldn't have to see this comment from Laura again and again. He would actually be doing something on the canvas. Instead, he's written like he's already dead. If only.
