i agree that she needs her own story and they need away from her, however this has been sam's story. the woman scorned. the woman who's entire life was her man and then it ended. her not eltting go, her not moving on. good story or not, the over all liz/jason/sam/lucky storyline can be broken into three peoples storys. the Liason one, the Sam one, and the Lucky one. Sam & Liason have had a huge chunk of the story, and Lucky's more supporting just playing the bumbling idiot. If anything Lucky has been ruined to prop both Liason and Sam. However, again as i said before, Lucky hasnt been much more thna bumbling idiot for the better part of 8 years or so

That's so obviously true I'm shocked anyone has the balls to deny it. I love the fact that it isn't working and GH continues to fall in the ratings. They can try to make Liz look like the perfect little mommy all they like, but she is still banging a hitman, even though she knows she's putting her children at risk if the wrong people find out. Liz is their MOTHER and she's putting them in as much danger as Sam ever did. The difference is it's supposed to be Liz's purpose in life to put their lives above her own and protect them. Way to go Liz! Put your &*$$# above your own kids.

honestly, i dont see it as that. nothing sam has done has been out of char or to far of a streach for who she is.

also lol at the ratings drop being blamed on liason. im shure.

as for liz, the kids already in anger just being jason. same goes for alexis' child. carlys'. and anyone who has a kid with any of the mob men. liz has also stated that before.

i really am not some huge liason fan. i mean, i like them and all - but i will always belong to Liz & Lucky. I just dont see the show having ruined sam to prop them. because again, nothing sam has done is to far off from who she is.

I am sorry but in the real world you would be hard pressed to find a person who believes that a woman deserved to be attacked just because she did questionable things prior to the event. It would be like saying a homewrecker deserved to be sexually assualted because she is "reaping what she sowed". That's complete and utter garbage and not one person would find that punishment to be logical or arguable. Sam was attacked and victimized by this man. She will probably live with that truama forever. She will forever have to deal with the feeling of helplessness and fear until she dies. She will probably never be able to recover from such a truama of being attacked and helpless. No one deserves to feel that and Sam is no exception.

I take issue with what you've said in this post. One being that you are totally disrespectful to people's opinions. We all see things the way we see them so you're fact could be my fiction and like you, I might find it incredibly stupid or shortsighted of a person not to see things my way, but I would never go as far as you did in expressing it since it's an underhanded insult. It doesn't bother me but I think you might consider that some people are sensitive to being called liars or stupid or whatever other negative implication that can be taken from your statement. I don't have any reason to deny anything that is so obviously true and it doesn't benefit my in any way. My life isn't at stake, get the picture?

I disagree with you as to this being the cause for the ratings falling on GH. If people are tuning out because of this s/l then it's more likely because it's tedious, stagnant, and poorly written among other things which may include your reason, but I seriously doubt that it's solely because of Elizabeth. Most people watching soaps probably don't care about a tenth of some of the complaints that are brought up on line. Most people watching probably don't even give it that much thought. I have yet to encounter a person who watches or previously watched soaps that ever complained about someone lying or cheating on a soap or that anyone was being propped. I never even heard about propping until I came online and I've watched soaps on and off for at least 20 years.

Well you can't really have it both ways. If you're saying that based on the writing Sam is written in such a way that she wouldn't feel guilty for her crimes and that the people in PC treat her as a pariah, then I'm not following why you thought they should have people suddenly treat Sam with compassion because of what happened to her. What you want to see is contrary to the way the writing goes for her.

I'm not sure that I agree with you about the real world because I'm finding out that people aren't as compassionate as I feel they should be. There are some people who would care more about a dog being wounded than a person and that's just the way it is.....don't let it be a person of questionable character either because people can be brutal in their application of reaping what you sow. Besides when you mention the real world that changes the dynamics in that it's more people in general. There's a difference between a person in the real world knowing someone like Sam and whether or not that person would show her compassion versus someone who only hears about what a person has done showing compassion. It's always easier to show compassion to someone you don't know than to someone who hurt you.

That aside, since this isn't a real world situation then the reaction to her on the soap is appropriate. Sam's not real and the way she's written, this would hardly traumatize her. It looks like she may be up to plotting some more soon.

Didnt the Z family and Trevor just come to town? Is their house in PC? Im confused. If not, it looks VERY close like next town over at best. If thats the case, why are Trevor and Ric only now running into each other? Where has the Z family been since they werent involved in PC mob business till now

Aside from the TMK nonsense (really wish they would wrap that up A-SAP), I have to say, today's GH was ... not bad. Not great, but certainly, a good way to kill an hour before flipping over to "House" on USA.

    • 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.
