GH: Week of March 31

[DevotedToAMC]

Not a problem ....I started a thread in Off Topic about "stereotypes you hate" and I brought up many of them but the first one I discussed was the French are rude stereotype. To me, they were just more relaxed, down to Earth, gracious, and nicer than the British (shocking because the British are supposed to be the most friendliest in the world! LOL).

Funny story about Paris is we were there one day when it was sprinkling rain a little bit. So mom and I were outside at this newspaper stand so someone spoke to this woman in French about the rain smearing the ink. The newspaper lady speaks this beautiful French and, all of a sudden, she goes "Oh S H I T!" So mom and I were all, "oh we understood that!" LMAO

Sure we ran into a couple rude French people but you get rudeness everywhere you go. Overall, Paris was a great experience with its atmosphere, romantic setting, tourism, food, and the people....not to mention it is a relief to walk down the street there compared to London where you are either on the sidewalk or you get run over by a driver! It also helps going to France when you are allied with them (we went there when Clinton was president)

But back to GH........I just hope that, for viewers' sake, they do not include much Claudia and Sam this week

[DevotedToAMC]

A ha! Cheap has her thinking cap on today, go Cheap! Yep you recall how I post my dislike for Sam and Claudia here

[Cat]

LOL, yeah, many French can swear in both languages!

IA and think rudeness is relative. People are rude in NYC, perhaps even ruder than in Paris. But when we go away on vacation in a foreign country, perhaps the rudeness there stands out more because we don't always know how to react to something so out-of-the-blue. And in a different language! I'm glad you enjoyed your Paris trip with your mom, though. It is my favorite place on earth.

Oh, Cheap. Say it ain't so! I cannot support Shrewlu's constant whining about her boyfriends and job prospects because she never gets off her a$$ to do anything. She goes to her wealthy cousin (who worked her "wealth" by lying on her back) to whiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine.

And Carly's all "Hey, nepotism works! Even though you have zero qualifications and are totally self-absorbed, let's go harass my husband to hand you the job that your worst enemy has. Even though she is actually more qualified than you. Yeah! Let's gang up on some 20-year old kid who is minding her own business at her new job which she loves. And while we're at it, we can stick it to Kate, your soon-to-be boss." Great idea, Cujo!

Seeing those two harpies after Maxie, well, it automatically puts me on Team Maxie.

[JackPeyton]

i actually love lulu and would norm support both her and Maxie, except that this is sooo Maxie's role. this is her world. this is her job. this is where she belongs. the only reason lulu cares is because Maxie has it and lulu wants everything for herself.

i also am pretty sure that sadly GH will have lulu come out on top, even tho she shouldn't. she doesn't want this. she doesn't live this. she is not willing to give everything up for this.

that all combined with the fact that all she does is whine about how 2,375 men are in love with her and would do anything for her annoys the hell outa me. and i really cant stand the poor me, feel sorry for me, woe is me act she pulls 24/7.

now if she was true Spencer and had a backbone and embraced her inner evil ways like she once did i would so support her, but i cant ever support woe is me. im sure the fact that i also see girls like lulu chewed up and spat out daily where girls like Maxie really do go to the top also has me more on Maxie's side, because the girls like lulu deserve it. its a cut throat world she is entering in, and she cant cut it.

[JackPeyton]

lol. i agree. esp with what i bolded. this is prob honestly the first thing in maxie's life she can do right, is going about it the right way, and deserves. Lulu is trying tot ake that from her just to spite her, and norm i would LOVE that... if lulu would embrace it and inner spencer bitch self instead of playing little innocent me is looking for a shot and i really want this for myself blah blah blah blah blah. she needs to go back to her many men and hitting them with a wrench.

TEAM MAXIE! [

<<<LOL, yeah, many French can swear in both languages!

Well, whenever people here curse up a storm, they always say "Pardon my French" for a reason

Actually, I have been to NYC twice and found the NYC crowd to be very friendly. Something tells me the rude people you encounter in NYC are actually from northern and central New Jersey (northern and central New Jersey people are like Los Angeles people...stuck up, snotty, rude, narcissistic, selfish, self centered, egotistical, and neither crowd would piss on you if you were burning alive). They also have the "people are rude" stereotype attributed to them but I have not really noticed it. They just happened to be gracious to us on the two times we were there.

Also, I did not just go to London and Paris with my mom. It was like a family affair with mom, dad, me, and my twin brother. The only one who did not go was my older brother, which sucks for him because he loves art and we told him he would have loved The Louvre. Speaking of The Louvre, it was funny because my mom bought tickets for it online...the day we go to see The Louvre, there is this line like a mile long of people waiting to get in but we just go right in front of them all and enter the museum! LOL smart mom I have

[JackPeyton]

i LOVED gh today.

spinmax. spin telling maxie this is her dream and he wants it for her. awwww. carly coming and being all "wtf" was great. spinelli is in the middle. this should be fun.

carly owning claudiwhorea. greatness.

scrubs being all uver cute was nice.

[DevotedToAMC]

carly owning claudiwhorea. greatness.>>>

I usually don't like Carly but, if she rips apart the PC skank, I got to see it

[Cat]

I am waiting for Claudia to be the strong woman she was before the scabs made her all Sonny-obsessed. I really like Sarah Brown, so I really want to like Claudia, but....

I guess it's because I cannot get into the Zucchinis at all. If they needed a crazy, crime kingpin family with incestuous overtones, well, they already have that with the Cassadines. SBr could have played a Cassadine operative, or Stefan's secret love-child or something. We would have seen Helena and Trevor could have been her US consigliere. The story would have drawn in Alexis, Sam and Nikolas, too. And, of course, Ric and Sonny. Perhaps they could have brought on Michael Easton or Tom Pelphrey as Cassadine princes as well. Much as I despise ME on OLTL, he might make a good Stavros recast on GH.

But no. Instead we have Yawny playing Big Businessman by offering to buy Luke's casino. And Lulu skipping out on work to make it All About Her. And then Luke, Carly and Lulu ramming down our throats GH's newly revised history. That Luke and Laura were never happy. That Laura wanted to "domesticate" Luke and ended up suffocating him. That they are an example of a couple NOT to emulate.

As opposed to the Great Love that is... Sonny & Carly?! WTF? Give me a break.

I watched GH all these years and that is not what happened. Laura having a secret Cassadine child drove Luke & Laura apart. Stefan's return drove them apart. Lucky's "death." Dealing with the rape again. The Rick Webber re-write and Laura's madness. All tragic things but through it all, I had never doubted Luke's love for her or his need to be with her. And vice versa.

Ugh. Guza. Why?

I Flove Maxie lately, I've been YouTubing all of her scenes and I love that she's working for Kate, although you just KNOW they're going to go down a whole The Devil Wears Prada ripoff story with Lulu as the Anne Hathaway character and Maxie as the Emily Blunt character, and Lulu will eventually rise to the top of the fashion world and stomp all over Maxie's ass and then realize she doesnt want any of it any walk away. BLAH. I really want, for once, to see Maxie succeed, because she's totally made for the role and I love fun, fiesty, bitchy, snarky fashionista Maxie.

Claudia Z can go jump off a cliff for all I care. I mean walking around town dressed like a ho (did you SEE how short that dress was when she was talking to Johnny about buying the Metro Court?!?! HO HO HO) and then getting all snarky when Carly tells her to get out of the hotel was just...ugh...for once I was liking Carly, which isnt easy these days.

[Wales2004]

I haven't seen The Devil Wears Prada movie and that's probably why I see this as Face of Deception redux. I think this makes for an excuse to have Maxie and Lulu interact. The first time around, Laura realized that Elizabeth wasn't into modeling and that Gia really wanted it and chose Gia. Kate is fully aware that Maxie wants it and maybe after the requisite friction and fighting with Maxie, Lulu will see that it's Maxie's dream and leave her to it. It also provides a reason for Spinelli to take Maxie's side over Lulu's.

I know that they will probably show Maxie doing what she feels she needs to but Carly so obviously used Spinelli's feelings for Maxie against him yesterday that it's not coming across as good and innocent Lulu vs evil Maxie. Carly's motives put a different spin on it. Maybe Lulu might decide she likes it but Johnny seems to be too much of a priority for her right now that I see Lulu as stepping aside eventually.

[NYC123]

I liked the Johnny/Claudia scenes.

That was about it. This show is horrible right now..........................Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Guza needs to GO!

[Toups]

Woohooo....LOVED the previews with the sniper shots going off. Guza needs to be fired.

[Southofnowhere]

I'm begging for fans not to watch this Michael thing!

If this story get's good ratings NOTHING on this show will ever change , if it tanks TIIC "might" get a clue and end All My Mob.

GH will always have the Mob but the whole show should't be about the Mob.

Jason and Johnny staying Mobbed up while Sonny went straight and the rest of the Mob peeps died or went to prison would be fine imo.

[JackPeyton]

^i actually am lookingforward to this storyline.

parents make choices that trickle down to the childern. this storyline will show that.

i also know why am i loved the kate magazine storyline. it is not innocent lulu vs evil maxie anymore. they ahve actually put them on equel ground, if not turned the tables. lulu is going after this for the sole reason that maxie wants it. lulu comes off as the bitch. and i lvoe it. it also gives conflict to maxie/spin & spin/lulu.
