GH: Week Of Feb 4th!


Recommended Posts

I agree with how ridiculous it was to have Emily say that line when she's dressed the way she was.

Because I'm not in awe (for lack of a better phrase) of SJB's acting, I did not compare her to LW. Besides she is playing a different character--although she's coming across to me like her version of Carly by a different name.

The whole hit and run Sam s/l is a big joke. The way it transpired on screen, the only person who could have actually done it is Nikolas. Elizabeth was shown too early and Carly's reaction to whatever happened was too early as well. If they had shown Sam flipping off the car right after Carly had that surprised/shocked expression then she would belong in the mix but they didn't. And it's too much of a stretch to believe that someone could bounce off a windshield like that without it making enough of an impact for a driver to not know. I like how she seemed to be hit head on but ended up bouncing off to the side instead of in front of the car.

They tried too hard to make Monica look guilty of it but I find it hard to believe that they would actually have had her leave an injured person on the road. There didn't appear to be any windshiled or hood dents when she was packing up to abandon the car.

Anyway it doesn't really matter who did it since it was an accident. One would have to have super reflexes and a car that didn't skid in order to not have hit Sam. The only real crime would be if someone hit her, knew it and left her there.

re sam's hit and run - i dont care. for a few reasons...

1) it doesnt matter who hit her, nothing will happen to them.

2) it was done AWFUL! a music montage to clips going between sam running from the killer, monica drinkin and drivin, carly textin and driven, liz sleepin and driven, and nick picturing em and drivin where all four have a shcoked reaction but you dont know to what then it pulls back as a car leaves sam on the floor woudl have been much betters, Liz's hit and run from a few years ago was flawless.

3) i thank them, because i hate the bitch

4) she will just use this againts elizabeth and jason somehow and maniuplate lucky, because thats who she is

i will stop now, but could keep going..

Claudia is basically Carly with a different background and maybe a more violent background with more desire to be cutthroat. I can take her or leave her because she's just another mobster and GH should cut down on that instead of amping it up.

The two for me are Carly and Kate. For some reason I was okay with the dysfunctional pair. I never ever (a thousand times never ever) liked Brenda with Sonny. Any potential for me backing down on that was lost when they had Brenda have a breakdown over him. That sequence of events made me root for Jax and Brenda and I loved loved loved when she ran past Sonny into Jax's arms when they both emerged from the warehouse fire. This is the couple that brought me as close to soap couple fandom as I have ever gotten.

IA that it doesn't matter and nothing should happen to the person unless it was Monica since she was drunk. But as I said in my other post, it was an accident since she ran out into the road and I don't see where anyone could have prevented that. A person could swerve but their reflexes would have to be right on the money. Now leaving her is another story and I don't think Monica saw any bodies.

I don't know why they even bothered throwing Carly in there but Elizabeth is obviously included to have further ridiculous scenes with her and Sam, Jason and Sam, and Elizabeth and Lucky. They need to give it up and move on.

JP, you make a very good point. What I'm not getting is this awe thing but it's probably because I don't get what is so great about SJB. There's nothing about her that's unique enough to make me do a double take. She''s not drop dead gorgeous, she's a good actress......and I don't see with the same vision.

The only double take I've done in ages was yesterday when I looked at the picture of on the front of the LA Times Calendar section.....l.something about Matthew McConaughey in a black leather jacket against a sort of midnight blue skyline backdrop made me keep that to look at it today. Now he doesn't always look really good to me but all I can say about this photo is.....uh maybe I shouldn't :P

It was at this point that I lost it hysterically! :lol::lol::lol::lol: @ "Clkaudia" and "Carlky"

That's one HELLUVA typo, babes! :lol:

Oy, vey! I'm checking into a few good brain surgeons for you... to remove that tumor that causes you think loud, shrill and just plain BAD is good! No pressure, mind you. I'm sure you probably would enjoy being impaled to death by Wright's Shrieks of Horror... which means your condition is probably terminal anyway.

Well, then again, maybe that tumor isn't terminal after all... you're still making profound sense in some areas.

LMAO. hey, i am consistent. why can i say?

lol. i do love LW. carly, not so much. but i dont blame laura for how carly acts. and i can see how some see it as her fault because she is, ya know, the actress. but i really do think that GH thinks that carly acting like that is okay and pushs and LW does her job. she has scenes, like that one with jason a week or so ago was amazing

lol, well ty. any sam hater i love!

Carly was not like than when any of the previous Carlys were in the role. LW's Carly is just too in your face. She yells and she screams. I think part of that is LW as she plays the role up like that. She doesnt have the subtlities (sp) that the other actresses had and she plays Carly with her big mouth rather than letting her expressions and maneurisms do a bit of the acting. Overall she just comes off way too hard and she needs to take Carly down a few notches. The volume on her is all the way up

Actually I find Wright's version of Carly to be miles better than Sarah's...sorry but I never got the hoopla around Sarah. She was, at best, an okay Carly...too butch and nasty as far as I am concerned. Tamara Braun gave her a heart and redeeming qualities but also kept the bitch Carly as well

    • Actors doing this is pretty common. I used to work for a company that produced a very successful sitcom back in the 70s. Actors who were guest stars on the show would ask to be provided tapes of their episodes. I assume they do it for a variety of reasons, i.e. to create a reel of their best work. I know of some soap actors who have uploaded saved work to YT. One is Ariana Muenker, who played Christine Valere on GL. She was uploading scenes from her many soap roles a few months back. Unfortunately, it looks like either she or YT took the channel down. Sharon Gabet and Mark Arnold help the EON YT channel by providing save episodes. Along with EON eps, Arnold shared a guest stint he did on GL. Those episodes are really interesting because they involve the introduction of Nola's character, which was tied to the Roger storyline. When he came back after faking his death, he hid out at the boarding house. Nola being a snoop figured out something was fishy with him. She ended up helping the police. Very worth seeking out. I don't think anyone else has those episodes.  Makes you wonder if there's more out there than we know of because actors don't want to be bothered to run a YT channel. Can't blame them because it's a lot of trouble, but if only...
    • It must have been sometime in the early 80's. VI said he first heard about Marj Dusay's talent from CH. Hickland worked with her on Capitol.
    • Not having watched AMC was one of the reasons I hesitated to make the comparison, tbf. It's odd--I feel like I could argue Cassie, Olivia, Harley and Dinah suffocated the show along with Reva the last five years.
    • Laurie and Lance accompany Leslie to her Denver concert and she relies me on Lance for support.Unbeknownst to Leslie, Brad has had the operator make a special connection to the concert hall so he can hear her concert. The Maestro, realizing Leslie’s emotional torment over her failing marriage, tries to persuade her to tell Brad about the baby, and when she refuses, he writes a letter to Brad betraying Leslie’s confidence. After another fight with her mother about how learning about her parentage has upset her life, Laurie confides to Leslie that she feels cut off, outside. Stuart overhears this conversation, and Leslie has to tell him the whole story. She tries to explain fairly how Jennifer had left Stuart and actually only spent one night with Bruce, and faced the truth about Laurie only when she was forced to. Stuart is livid over this |betrayal and wants to confront his wife ‘now, but her doctor calls. Her one-year mastectomy checkup was fine, but he’s discovered irregularities in her cardiogram and doesn’t want her under any stress until further tests can be made. Stuart assures Leslie he won’t tell her mother he knows about Laurie until he can do it calmly, and doesn’t tell his daughter about the cardiogram.  When Chris continues to receive obscene calls, Snapper goes straight to the Beckers’. Ron insists he was home with Nancy, and she corroborates this. When she steps between an advancing Snapper and her husband, screaming, “We don’t have a telephone. He couldn't have called Chris,” Snapper finally has to believe her, and he leaves. But moments later Karen tells Nancy that Daddy went out while Mommy was in the shower. Ron insists it was just a few moments, for cigarettes. Nancy lets it pass, but the next morning finds a whole carton of cigarettes in a drawer  and asks why he went out. Ron coldly tells her she’d  better pull herself together, she’s letting this thing with Chris make her a little insane. Nancy ponders telling Chris but decides that all Chris would do is  badmouth Ron again, and she and Karen have no one but Ron and can’t leave him. When a telephone-installation man arrives with their new phone, Nancy asks him not to put it in. But Ron arrives and orders the installation made, telling Nancy she’s trying to run his life, as his mother did. When Nancy tries to call Chris, Ron frighteningly tells Nancy he’s done  everything they said he did, but it’s all her fault, as she never gave him what he needed. When he informs her he’s taking Karen away from her before she can ruin her, Nancy collapses in a catatonic state. Ron then calmly calls the hospital and requests help for his wife, “Fran Jackson,” who has had a breakdown.  Laurie, seeing the extent to which Vanessa will go to keep Lance to herself, warns Lance that his mother’s possessive feelings are unhealthy. Lance suggests Vanessa will consider Leslie a threat also when he learns that Les and Brad are divorcing and things will get easier. As soon as the hospital attendants leave with Nancy, Ron dials Legal Aid and has Karen tell Chris she’s all alone. Stopping only to leave a message for Snapper about where she’s going, Chris rushes to the Beckers’ apartment, only to realize that Ron’s tricked her. Ron sends Karen out of the room and, after expressing his hatred for all women, tells Chris he’s going to prove to her he’s a man. But Karen wanders back in as he has Chris pinned to the wall, and Ron’s mind snaps when he realizes his daughter has seen his perverted side. After smashing the wall mirror, he runs out, and Greg, terrified at learning where Chris is, arrives to find her comforting Karen. Chris takes Karen home, and after several days of fruitless searching for Nancy, she applies for temporary guardianship of Karen. Peggy and Jack set a New Years Eve wedding date, but Stuart is terribly upset to realize how irrational and incomplete Peggy’s plans are. When she suddenly makes all pertinent decisions in the space of a half-hour, Stuart tells Jack this doesn’t indicate certainty, but rather proves his point—she’s just trying to convince herself that the rape didn’t affect hers and it did. A chance remark by Stuart shocks Laurie into realizing he knows she’s not his natural daughter. When she hysterically screams out her alienation and her innate feeling that she was always 'different' he assures her with tears in his eyes that since they really love each other sincerely, it makes no difference; she’ll always be his daughter. Stuart explains that Jen still doesn’t know he has learned the truth, and he would like it to continue that way. In helping Brad pay his bills, Laurie finds Maestro Fausch’s letter and tells Brad that Leslie is pregnant. Ironically, to get to him with this news, she had to get |away from Leslie, and used a meeting with Lance as an excuse. When ‘Lance arrives soon after, he’s angry that Laurie lied, and she later has to explain that she has been helping Brad. Understanding her motives, — Lance agrees that she should continue to press him to |reconcile with Leslie. Brad, however, still won’t reconsider—in fact, the news makes him even more resolute. But Vanessa has had Laurie followed, and hits Leslie with a double blow. She gives her the report saying this proves her sister is involved with her husband, and then assures Leslie that Lance loves her, — not Laurie. Badly confused and hurt, Leslie lashes out by kissing Lance while he sits with her at the piano. Leslie then waits at the apartment for Laurie, and when she arrives, she bitterly accuses her of having an affair with Brad. Laurie angrily assures Leslie she  was with Brad with Lance’s full knowledge and that Leslie’s anger means she still loves Brad. She then explains to Leslie that Brad left her because he’s blind. In shock, Leslie rushes home to confront Brad, furiously berating him for treating her like a child who cannot decide for herself. But Brad, even with Leslie now aware of the situation, refuses to reconcile with her. When Leslie tells Laurie how unreasonable Brad has been, Laurie suggests that Leslie stop seeing everything from her own angle only. 
    • In regards to the Reva vs Erica discussions... I think there was one main difference between the two characters.... Erica never took over/ate up airtime on All My Children.  While she was a larger than life character, she never took over the show and there were times she was even supporting and not the lead.... while Reva basically suffocated Guiding Light in the later years with her presence.
    • That was such a missed opportunity, especially with May sweeps.  And, it would’ve been a much better story for Naomi/Jacob than whatever’s going on with June 
    • https://www.hulu.com/hub/tv/collections/9979 Amazed! But loving it. What this shows is GH Hulu out of top 15, GH is #2 & this was Saturday. Are we happy campers? Yes, at least for the moment, you bet we are.
    • I forget his name but Tori Spelling and Jennie Garth had the EP on after they didn't understand the 60s flashback episode due to the lack of original music. He felt that was one of his strongest episodes so he came on to explain to them just how much the music changes hurt the series. Basically, they only allowed him to pick a selection of episodes he felt the music was vital and other than that they didn't bother to save the music.  They kept music for prom and things like the Color Me Badd episode and for most of the musical acts but any music you loved from the opening of the show or just music played in random scenes was cut.  I know there are also some scenes cut but I don't know too much about that. The most glaring one was Clare's final scene being cut which is obviously a huge problem for a character who'd been around for so long. Overall I was able to enjoy my rewatch using the DVDs but without all of the original music it isn't nearly as good a show.
    • Too many returns, that's when you know a show has run out of ideas and doesn't care anymore.  Zoe annoyed the sh!t out of me most times, but the Kat/Zoe storyline will always be iconic and close to my heart (that's the era I first started following the show in near real-time), and probably the only storyline in 21st century EastEnders that had long-term value for the characters involved during their initial run together. However, after all this time and the writing choice that Zoe never wants to see Kat again, I think that ship has sailed and I don't know that it makes sense to revisit it at this point. 
    • Former EastEnders star Michelle Ryan is reprising her role as Zoe Slater on the BBC soap following an absence of over 20 years.  It’s been reported that Zoe will return to Albert Square later this year and that she’ll take centre stage in a dramatic new storyline involving her family.  The news comes amidst news of other big returns, which include Max Branning (Jake Wood), Tanya Cross (Jo Joyner), Shirley Carter (Linda Henry) and Ben Mitchell (Max Bowden), who will also be back in Walford later in the year.
