GH: Week of March 24

I never heard of it.

You keep brilliantly illustrating the lazy writing of this show. It would take some time and energy to write a cohesive and consistent story and having the miscarriage be much more than a blip would detract from the world of Sonny.

I never really thought about it until now but what does Sonny deal in anyway? Besides the coffee. He periodically reiterates his "no drugs" policy so what is in the "shipment?"

The reaction to Monica's drunk driving is fine but when it's contrast against the mob then it does make Diane's statement ludicrous. I guess people aren't supposed to be thinking when they watch this show since they're not big on making sense.

I watched two segments of today's episode and opted out because I didn't feel like a Sonny overload today. The more I listen to him say whatever it is he's saying to Kate, the worse they seem together. I think they probably lost me when she told Jax that Sonny was basically a dog when they were teens but she overlooked it. If that's the case, then romanticizing their childhood went out the window. In fact, the whole true love from the past doesn't even register with me.

What does Claudia want Jason to use to kill Trevor since he seems to possibly have a problem with his hands? I know they need to come up with reasons for the two of them to be in scenes together--oh but what am I even thinking?

If Jason and Carly are soulmates what kind are they? I don't see the romantic aspect and I don't see the in sync type of friendship either. Their relationship to me has generally been written to be about his getting her out of messes and her adamantly declaring that she knows what he wants. I've never seen a scene with him and any of the many incarnations of Carly where they've had an enlightening exchange that illustrated that she really knows or gets him. Robin and he are more soulmates than he and Carly. Robin at least listened to him and for the most part, didn't inflict her wishes or will on him (I don't even think wanting him to be honest with AJ counts as not understanding). And even though Elizabeth doesn't embrace his career choice, she still seems to understand him better. Carly is right about Elizabeth being selfish but if that's a bad fault to her then she needs to work on herself.

Oh and another jab at the writing: how was she too busy with Jax and the baby to notice Michael? Wasn't she more busy getting into Jason's business than she was with her own family?

[Cheap21]

I thought she was too busy with Jax and her baby. Carly's main focus for the past several weeks was about getting pregnant. She spent more time self absorbed with herself and her husband and didnt notice what was going on with Michael.

[DevotedToAMC]

Okay is Claudia dead yet? Good lord get rid of her!

[Skin]

Do any of the principal actors and actresses on GH even try anymore?

Besides the younger teen/young adult set and the minor roles of RH and Sarah Brown I am just not seeing any effort at all.

[DevotedToAMC]

All I see with Sarah Brown is her playing Carly from 96 to 01 but this one is just sluttier

[JackPeyton]

really? i couldnt disagree more.

Ingo, Megan, Jane, Tony, Steve, Tyler, Kim, Jason, Kirsten, Brad, Laura, Ric and just about everyone else has been amazing recently.

Even Julie Berman who phones it in all the time for the last year has started to act again.

and Sarah Brown has a minor role? really?

[DevotedToAMC]

I wish Claudia was a minor role because she sucks worse than a hooker triyng to make rent

[Skin]

Both Ingo and Megan look exhausted and unmotivated. So I can't really see the "great" acting their doing. Ingo looked minorly interested in his scenes where he was screaming at Sonny but really nothing notable or must watch television. Jane and Tony don't do anything and are on for maybe two or so minor scenes for comic relief.

Steve is one of the worst examples of "acting" on this show.

Who's Kim? Sarah does have a minor role by comparison to the big four: Wright, Bernard, Burton and Herbst.

I will say that Jason Thomphson looks invested in his scene and seems to enjoy his storyline of being a reluctant father. The younger set always manage to make magic out of their work that includes Brad, Kirsten, Bergman, Barash, ect. I am talking about the principal "veteran actors" that make this show go round.

[Jackfan143]

SHe has grown on me

[Jackfan143]

I didn't take it that way at all. THe name wasn't mention so its hard to pimp it and considering most people watching had no clue. It can't be considering pimping. I found it damn funny but most probably didn't get it at all.

[Jackfan143]

Most people haven't hense why it can't be considering pimping. When no one knows what your pimping.

[Jackfan143]

I agree the acting has been great. I love Jason and Carly scenes today

[cubsgirl]

When Maxie gets all bitchy with her little attitude towards Lulu I just want to smack her. She acts like a ten year old. JMO

[Wales2004]

IA with you on the self absorbed but Jax has never seemed like a priority to me. The pregnancy came in between her meddling in Jason's life and being concerned about Kate taking attention away from her. Anyway, she has a nanny raising her children and she's never been written to focus much on Michael so this writing is just an attempt to try to make her seem like a suddenly devoted wife who has trouble balancing the kids and the husband when that hasn't been the case all along.
