GH: Week Of Feb 11th


Recommended Posts

Oh so what you're saying is that Elizabeth should abide by a different set of rules than Sam because you think she's "portrayed as the heroine of GH?" If that's your line of reasoning than why are you even questioning the lack of sympathy for Sam? If Sam isn't "portrayed as the heroine of GH" then no one should be concerned about what does or doesn't happen to her. She can go around doing whatever she wants and doesn't even need to say she had any kind of breakdown because she's free to do what she wants and people need not have any respect for her at all.

Sam was never written as an evil malicious person. She did not hurt people for the thrill of it and was not motivated by pure hate and revenge. That didnt happen till this past summer when teh writetrs wanted to demonize her in order to prop up Liarson. She was written as a girl from the wrong side of the tracks who was rough around the edges but she wasnt malicious. The Sam we saw over teh past few months is not the one that she was during her run prior to that

I actually like both Liz and Sam. I don't agree with them always...sometimes I want to smack them...but I don't hate either and I don't see either as all bad or as all good. JMO

Anyway, today's show was pretty decent

Loved Spinelli, Claudia and Jason. Spinelli's reaction to Claudia :lol:

Maxie and Mac were sweet

The writing is right up the alley for the way they've made her to be all about Jason. When someone has that all consuming love and it's taken away from them then she it's way in the realm for a character like her to play out the fury of the woman scorned. I don't even see how she's supposed to be propping Jason and Elizabeth since they're stagnant anyway. If anything, she's written to justify why she and Jason should no longer be together and I don't think that justification equates to propping his stagnant relationship. She's not in any way making them seem any better nor is she providing any basis for their relationship. If anyone is providing them with a reason then it's Jake.

Jason and Elizabeth go way back so it's not as if they just met and all of these people are running around proclaiming how much they belong together in an effort to sell the audience on a romance for them. People either like them together or they don't. If people base their acceptance or lack of acceptance on them as a couple on Sam's or any other third party's actions then so be it. Sam is still in this because they never had a concrete plan for the character other than to be at the side of some man.

She' "always' pointed fingers....I guess its Elizabeth' fault that she shagged her step daddy too and she lied about Angela Monroe to Jason saying she didn't know who she was...'

Sam came on a con-artist, theif and prostitute honey she looked bad when she walked in oh I mean

rowed ashore. As for Samantha McCall looking bad to prop Jason and Elizabeth sheer lunacy they had story before Sam McCall showed up 8.5 years worth this is the most ridiculous thing I've ever read.

I think you are completely missing my point. You said that Sam wasn't the kind of character that would feel guilty enough to confess to her crimes. I said that I didn't feel that that was such a character flaw because for the most part she is being written as a bitter, angry-unstable villianess versus the hypocritical heroine Liesabeth. The fact that Sam may not feel guilty enough to confess (or would confess given the same circumstances) isn't really relevant, seeing as the two are very different characters and are written in different ways. One is supposed to be the one who inspires likeability while the other is more or less the catalyst to give the "heros" conflict.

I am not questioning weither about the morality of Sam or Elizabeth. I am simply saying that Sam didn't deserve what happended to her and she doesn't deserve to be treated the way she has. That as a human being she should be treated as such. After such a trauma she should not be treated the way she currently has been and none of the people in PC seem to identify with the reality of such an encounter and trauma can cause for a person, regardless of the hit and run.

a few more thing on yesterday...

Kate & Jax are fab together. I am loving them, and would love to see it go further.

Sam is.... there are no words. judging jason? please bitch. look in the mirror.

morgan & a gun was not fun to watch, tho the line michael gave to him was great!

diane & alexis were great. the killer watching was creepy.

i hope it was not wine they were drinking in those glass' because that annoys me when people drink wine in those or when they use stem glass' but hold the bowel where the wine is because that warms it up. random but true.

sam & devlin have ZERO chem. and they better not try a sam/patrick thing.

i like the ep storyline.

claudia/luke scenes were good.

sonny not telling carly.... no words.

ITA eith everything, esp what i bolded. Liason has a history going back to 1999. They do need proping, and the obsticle for them is not sam. It is jake, and the lifestyle jason leads. If anything else i would say GH tries to explaine away anything sam does on liz and jasons one night stand.

the thing is Sam is the one who pushed and blackmailed and used Liz's secret against her until it came out. She forced the truth to come out, however she wants to hold her own secret's and blame others when her secret do come out. You cant tell one persons secrets and hold your own. That makes you look like a pathtic spineless hypocrtical bitch - and thats exactly what sam is.

no sam didnt deserve what happened to her. however just because something bad happened to her doesnt mean she deserves to be treated like a human being when she acts like everything but one. it doesnt make everything she has done okay and go away. she is being treated badly by those who have every right to - like liz, jason, lucky - and she is being treated like anyone other person by some - like dr devlin - and she is being treated with sympothy from friends and family like alexis and maxie.

agree

If thats the case then they need to get Sam away from them bc since the summer, they've been using Sam as teh villian to help cause them drama and angst. Let their history and connection tell their story and stop falling back on Sam to keep things going on bc GH has failed miserably at that. It isnt doing any of them any favors

    • Am I the only one who hates how this show treats Claire? She's a glorified extra This girl comes from stock the granddaughter of the shows 2 biggest supercouples and they treat her like she's a throw away. Her pop pop is dying/dead and her other grandpa is saved awoken from his coma, alive because of the selfless heroic actions of her maternal grandpa

      There is no reason why she wouldn't be here to say goodbye. Olivia Rose isn't doing anything I bet she love to come back and say goodbye. I just don't understand the motivation & thought process when it comes to some decisions. This show is probably still salty about how they didn't succeed in trying to assassinate Claire, on the alter of her dicktimized bird brained aunt & her serial killer boyfriend/husband with the audience.  Also unless they're keeping it under wraps Sami not being back in time to say goodbye to John is a huge fumble. If it had to do with Ali availability then they should've pushed back the fallout of Johnny learning about his sperm donor raping his mother and the subsequent confrontation with Elvis & Sami to conceded with John's coma & death so Sami/Ali were here for it. It's just a huge piece missing from this. As much I hated Sami's overdramatic looney tunes treatment of John long after she was in her 30s, became a grandma, her & John had one of the best dynamic complex heartbreaking father/daughter relationship's on both daytime and the show. It would be full circle as John's end of watch nears, that Sami apologizes for her treatment of him & admits she does love him. He was just as much as a father to her as "Roman", in a impossible situation that turned everyone lives upside down(The 2 Romans, Roman Intitial Death, The Affair)through no fault of his own. How fitting if she called him dad one last time & how thankful she is for his unconditional support and love. He squeezes her hand one last time, calls her Samantha and finally let's go after hearing the words he spent decades longing for in my eyes
    • So around '84 is when things get bad?
    • There are details through the thread, but yes, as mentioned, she hated Ellen Wheeler, and lambasted her for crying a lot, for her decisions with firing and Peapack, etc. Back in the day she also hated Pam Long, who created Reva and gave Reva all of her best material. The producers or writers she liked most seemed to be those who saw Reva in the most generic of molds, although she likely doesn't see it that way. She was OK on OLTL; I think @Vee could probably give a better summary. She was earthy and added her usual hard work to some trash material. There was nothing special going on, as yet again with patron saint Carlivati it was all plot, no character, and he cared more about writing for a cutesy child character.  You're right about what they could have done with Reva. Reva, Erica, and any women who are in story long enough face this problem. The biggest difference is Reva was allowed to age (even with the post-menopausal baby), which Erica was not.
    • Cali was the only Paulina for me on AW.  Was Judi Evans such a “name” that Cali was fired for her?  Judi basically played an entirely different character.  She could’ve been Nancy!
    • They were great together. Barbara was way too high maintenance for any man. You know Henry divorced her a$$ after about a year.  And, here’s an example of what I was talking about…
    • I watch every day as well, and I am enjoying the show. There's always room for improvement. TBH, things are much different from what I expected reading the character breakdowns. That could be a good thing! I'm willing to let them find their groove and figure out what kind of show it wants to be. The core and underlying theme. -I echo what a few others have said: The show is lacking in real romance and cross-starred lovers. But that tracks from (MVJ) experience cause the bell soaps are not good with romance IMO. -I have a feeling it's being built before our eyes, but we're missing that rival family. -I would prefer more variety of storylines. Good ones that could weave together the whole town.   -I struggle connecting to the male characters. So I hope they get a clear handle on them soon. Most of them feel underwritten and one-note. -Find a better purpose for Naomi. I fear she will be the first Dupree dumped. I completely agree. June's story does nothing for me. And what if she turns out to be Tyrell and Samantha's mom? They are very close to leaving high school. why should I care? If she turns out to be related to Hayley also, what's the long-term story, and why should I care? I believe Hayley can work on her own as a vixen. Does she need a sounding board? Sure, but you can accomplish that with an outsider's friend group. I didn't think I would be saying this, but I would entertain Kat having a forbidden affair with Jacob. Both Naomi and Jacob need something to do other than case-of-the-month storylines. 
    • That would really just be a redux of the Leslie/Eva story. I really hope they don't go there. My guess for the storyline with Anita that we have "never seen before on daytime" is that it may be a "me, too" story. Anita did unspeakable things to get ahead because of some disgusting producer, and the other person she left behind was a boyfriend who cared about her very much.
    • Reva and Zimmer needed strong adversaries/scene partners. It would dampen the negatives associated with the character and Zimmer's self-admitted excesses. I think that's why she was a bust on SB. I don't know how she did on her return to OLTL because I was not watching at that point. The problem for me with Reva is the same situation with Erica Kane. It ended up being variations of the same storyline year after year. I think if the show had truly broken up Reva and Josh and put them in other viable relationships it would have freed up the characters to have better storylines and character growth. Instead, it's as if the characters were stuck for decades.
    • I am still behind and know what upcoming week you are talking about.

       And I know I'm not ready and have not been since the official news. That was my first couple on that show. You won't be alone.    When you put it like that...same. Like I say in the thread when I'm more interested in what people are wearing than the stories...red flag. No momentum. Just stalling.      lol.
