GL: Week of February 9th


Recommended Posts

  • Members

I just saw Monday's episode and thought that it was very exciting. There was so much going on what with Gus helping Olivia because of Natalia's insecure flaws, Josh finding out that Will was released from his new school because of Cassie, Lizzie realizing that Bill was the one who tipped off Alan, Jonathan pulling a gun on Alan after Rick is arrested and Beth's water breaking!

This seems to be the start of what could be a watchable week. I also thought that the sets (the ones that weren't shot on location with a handicam) looked very nice. Most notably Alan's beach house. It was very tropical and luxurious.

Come on DK/EW, keep up this good pace! I'm crossing my fingers.

Once again, the sets that were shot on handicam need to be done better. The sound quality is poor especially the part where Jonathan and Josh sounded like two drunk fraternity guys looking for a secret beer stash. And where are they at exactly? Don't tell me that's the kitchen in the Spaulding Mansion....

Natalia erasing Olivia's message on Gus' phone and locking her up in the bathroom at the Bauer Cabin. I love Crystal Chappell. She can work magic no matter what kind of terds are being thrown at her writing wise.

Bill has a place and is asking for Lizzie to move in with him?

I love the Cheerios commercials. Kinda cute.

Today's episode wasn't as fast paced as Monday's but it was still good. I really loved it when Cassie confronted Reva, Jeffery, and Josh about them trying to take Will away from her. It was even better to see The Slut of Springfield get pushed down to a pew in church.

Another highlight was Will packing Josh's things and explaining to Daisy that he's going to be leaving very soon. Is Daisy really that naieve to not think that this little boy is really a hell raising demon?

Today was suprisingly good for a change with the Alan/Jonathan blowout. I'm glad that Lizzie put two and two together and found Jonathan. Howevr, I'm not happy with this version of Alan Spaulding the cartoonish villian like Alistair Crane of the Crane family on Passions.

Weird to see Leah and Jude in the Bauer kitchen when Jude should be older than Leah the teenager. :rolleyes: However, it was really nice to see Lillian make comment that it's nice to have another Bauer. And naming the daughter after Bert was also nice, but will the name still stay since Reva told Alan that he's the father of the baby during the christening? Nice cliffhanger compared to the usual repetitive music montages in the end...

The Bauer house scenes fell flat with me because of the overgrown toddler Leah. I will never accept Leah being older than her big brother and everyone that was born before her. :angry: The rest of the show was decent and I cannot wait to see the fall out of the baby reveal.

Today's episode was really exciting. This whole week has been very good. Even though people keep commenting on how bad the sets were, I thought the Bauer home looked very cozy. It's nice to see Rick and Beth in a front burner storyplot. What an ending! I didn't expect Reva to blurt out that the baby belongs to Alan and not Rick's. You have to feel bad for him. You have to give DK some credit for bringing up history via Bertha.

Tomorrow's episode looks a little bit slower but...that could make for some good acting.

Got to watch GL for the first time in ages today...and it was surprisingly good.

- Nicole Forester was working it...I'm with Cassie. I would be *pissed off* at Josh & Reva, too.

- Beth's stupid. Just because Alan is the biological father automatically gives him the right to see his daughter?..ahh..I am soo sick of this biology = natural rights/good parents dichotomy they always seem to have on soaps! Exactly why I think Josh & Reva are idiotics who put morals (especially Josh) above anything else..

- I kinda like Harley & Cyrus. :unsure:

- Lizzie & Jonathan are tolerable but I DO NOT wanna see these two hook up again.

GL has been on fire this whole week. Each episode has been exciting. Today's ending was what really got me hooked. That was so sad that she had to find out that way. What an altimatum to Natalia, give me your husband and I'll forgive you for ruining my chance to survive. Keep it up GL! That's what we need is more fast paced story plots with villains and vixens. (I.E. Alan and Olivia)

Well honestly, after watching a SUPER fantastic episode of DAYS where it left an awesome cliffhanger, it was a BIG disappointment to see Guiding Light after watching DAYS. I don't understand Olivia and her neediness to Gus. I don't understand Natalia for feeling sorry for what she did to Olivia after Olivia is trying to be the catalyst between her and Gus. I don't understand Olivia wanting to sleep with all the men in town and to have these desired relationships.

I'll try to watch it more, but like I said before- I don't watch it out of pure enjoyment anymore. Instead, it's just obligation because I just feel sorry for it.

why did they have Tammy and Sarah's memorial service a year after they died

how did Alan kill Tammy? Jon keeps saying that but he wasnt involved with the accident was he?

Josh is a pastor? WTF?

Marina is a detective?

Why is Harley's daughter going by the name Daisy? When she was last on the show, her name was Susan as that was what shewas raised as. Why they sudden name change?

I guess to remember the both of them because the one year was approaching. Now, I guess that since Sarah is alive, it will now be a yearly Tammy memorial. Hopefully not.

To be honest, I wasn't watching Guiding Light at all during this time, so this is a good question. All I know is that Alan was shot and Josh was arrested and sent to prison or something. The one who shot Alan was Ashlee Wolfe.

Don't ask. That whole stoyline is just embarrassing.

Yeah. That's embarrassing too.

Because Ellen Wheeler likes to change things around, because you know, Guiding Light has such a deep history and all. Her name was Daisy when Dinah helped Harley give birth, but Harley she gave Daisy away up for adoption. Jim Lemay and his wife adopted Daisy and changed her name to Susan. Susan's mother died and she wanted to know more of her biological mother and that's where YOU saw Susan last. Jim also died during a fire, so that leaves Susan/Daisy back with her biological parents Harley and Dylan.

    • 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.
    • It seems like Steve actually enjoys scenes with Jane.  I really think Steve has just mellowed out in general and is more open to doing what is asked.  He's not 30 anymore so he's probably just happy to keep getting work especially after the whole Covid situation. If he ended up with Brenda I wouldn't complain either lol. You probably won't get that 10% out of me, but I may consider if you drop the Jordan love haha!
    • I'm sticking to my theory that June is Hayley's sister (maybe a cousin since this show showcases cousins). Hayley really needs someone else to interact with because her being isolated to just Bill is not working. Eva only seems to have a backbone when it comes to Kat. She had no problem rubbing it in her face that they are sisters. Sharon hanging up on Anita was a good little nudge for that storyline. At least one of them having a name is promising to them actually showing up.
    • Reviewing the 1985/86 sophomore slaughtering and sophomore surprise. The Cosby Show 23 of 25 episodes finished #1 in their original broadcast, one episode finished 2nd, and one episode finished 3rd. Murder, She Wrote 18 of 22 episodes were the highest-rated drama in their original broadcast and 19 of 22 episodes were CBS's highest-rated scripted series in their original broadcast.
    • I really enjoy Tracy and Jason together as well in scenes. I’m a sucker for the surviving older Quartermaines, it’s just crazy that it took this long for a producer to tell Steve Burton we don’t care what you want, you’re a Quartermaine, get the [!@#$%^&*] over it. Murders actually solved in Port Charles? Hell no. The people in town don’t care so we’re not supposed to. God if they did this to usher Sonny off it would be the best episode of GH I’ve ever seen. I’d never complain again. I will never stop trying to get that 10% out of you It was so so good. There was so much promise. New old writers came back in and immediately said f.uck that, Sonny is a hero. You are not alone when it comes to Harper as Jordan. It’s a lonely island of 2 but you’re not alone. I enjoy her and especially with the new doctor.   Most of his time on this damn show has just been him in a hospital bed over a football injury we never even saw happen .
    • The casting of Reginald seemed to have been part of the reason for a lack of exploration of vulnerability in the character. I know Mary talked about not liking the change in Reg, but her disappointment was rarely explored once she left him.  For example, did she ever question if Reg was conning her in Paraguay, or was the Bay City version of Reg real? Imagine running a philanthropic center in Paraguay, and then becoming a social worker in Bay City?  It must have been so frustrating to once be able to provide anything that anyone needed, and now having to rely on government funded programs. And lastly, she went from a house full of servants, to living over a restaurant.  We were supposed to believe that she was so blinded by her love for Vince and the kids, that she never longed for her life when someone else washed her lingerie?
    • This was an excellent "filler" episode but I'd prefer to refer to it as a character building episode. I love that BTG is paced in a way that they can have episodes like this as opposed to the repetitive nature of the other soaps which don't leave room for this. The highlight for me was Eva with Martin's family. They've talked so much about her doing hair and I was so excited to finally get to see that in action. I thought the tension with Samantha was nice since she is a Dupree woman. I also love that Martin is trying to help Eva feel welcomed. I struggled a bit with Martin but he really shines when put across Eva, Kat and his grandparents. He definitely gets my vote for most improved. I also loved the scenes with Dani, Nicole and Andre. I love that Nicole clocked them so easily lol. I know many haven't enjoyed how Dani has acted since the Ted/Eva reveal but I find it so heartwarming watching her with Nicole. They clearly have a deep love for each other despite their differences and I love that Dani still tries even though her approach isn't always great and her whole life is a mess. Nicole/Dani is another one of the star pairs on the show. Anita and Vernon's scenes were excellent and the more I see of this story, the more I can't wait for the Articulettes to show up. I wonder if they've already been quietly cast and are filming. Not that I'm complaining, but the set is like Fort Knox so we really have no clue what is going on there. I can only hope we will see them soon. I also must say, Tamara Tunie looked stunning today.  The Jacob/Naomi scenes were another highlight. I like the working class vibe they give to the show. I'm also becoming intrigued about June and want to know more about how she ended up on the streets and who she's connected to. I hope it's Haley because she's in dire need of some backstory and development. The weak point of the episode were the Bill and Haley scenes. How are you going to have them having sex on his desk and we couldn't see a little bra or shirtless action from Bill? That was tired and a waste of time. They need to work on integrating them more with the rest of the canvas. I do not care about them anymore.
    • I always thought the cliffhanger was so anticlimactic, compared to the Dallas cliffhanger that year and three years earlier Kirby strangled Alexis, which Blake stopped. The Matthew cliffhanger was dull as hell. 
    • Setting aside a general distaste for the story -- I was sitting here wondering how long Erica's doppelgänger Jane story lasted?  Also, how did it begin?  What was the setup for Erica to have a double?
