Meanwhile, can we talk about "the writing on the wall"?

Today's show (4/3) had TWO SCENES of Carly telling Michael no video games, do your homework, giving orders, etc.

NOW she becomes a good mother?! NOW?! Of course.

ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!

Carly has no right to blame Sonny, she's just as much as fault if not more. She put Michael in Sonny's hands. She chose him to be his daddy (after Jason) Because Sonny and Jason were so much better than the Quartermaines. :rolleyes:

Edward wanting to raise him as a Q in boarding school and make him work at ELQ is so much more worse than a dead child shot in mobster violence.

Sounds like a very good storyline and I'm glad Carly's finally going to start hating Sonny. It's so sad that she didn't when Sonny shot her in the head when she was giving birth to their song Morgan (which I never understood, that was where the writers should've had Carly forever hate Sonny, but NOO!! they had to get her back to worshipping Sonny). I surely hope that GH will keep Carly anti-Sonny.

I would applaud them if I believed they were making a legitimate attempt to actually tell a good story but I think this is just another shocking way to drum up a little conflict between Carly/Sonny, Carly/Jax and Sonny/Kate and also to provide another danger up ahead roadblock for Jason/Elizabeth.

Jason made it clear to Spinelli that no one ever really gets out of the mob on Friday so that should stop any talk of them simply getting out of the business. If they can't, they can't. I expect someone else to make it clear that you can't really leave town to get away because they can find you. Basically they're laying a case for being forever a mobster and hazard to friends and family and negating the whole reason for Jason/Elizabeth not to be together since you really can't escape the connection or the danger no matter what. I guess they don't think it through as they throw it out there or maybe they don't believe the viewers do that much thinking (and that may have been true once in the earlier days of soaps but now they have viewers who sometimes over analyze and this probably leads to their losing viewers).

It sounds as if Carly's issue is going to be with Sonny not making Michael a priority over Kate as opposed to the mob is dangerous. Carly can't make mob danger more of an issue since she would have to detach herself from Jason so Kate is going to be the blame. After all, it was carefully crafted so that Kate was the one with the brilliant idea to take Michael to the warehouse. Sonny will probably conclude that making Kate a priority impaired his judgment (as if) and he can't be around her. Kate will be devastated. Jax will feel sorry for her and possibly defend her yet again to Carly, and Carly will be angry with Jax. Eventually Sonny and Carly will make amends as they'll have no one else to talk to except Jason who is in his own box of pain.

^ LOL at Jason's "box of pain."

Wales2004, IA with you. All this is being set up, not as a critique of Sonny's mob life, but as an excuse for it. He can't help it, his hands are tied, blah blah. I fully expect Carly to forgive Sonny even before a SORASed Michael hits town again.

Sonny is a hypocritical ass. He can't be around Kate since he chose to protect her (whatever that means), and yet, she's been protecting Michael for months. She was freaking shot by that kid and he left her for dead. Did she press charges? Nope. She even dropped the issue of Michael needing professional help because Sonny didn't want to hear it. Now, the situation is reversed and he finds it difficult to be around her??? I betcha Kate feels guilty.

GH SUCKS :rolleyes:

I guess they are doing it to age Michael. Carly has been such a b*itch lately. Every time she is on, I want to cover my ears. Can't they have that poor woman do something other than screeching?

I really was hoping that this would end the mob stuff and that GH would find a way to write a story that did not make the bad guy the hero.

    • I also do not like the bits I've seen with Delia during Labine's 83 return. I am glad when she came back for the last time in 1986, she allowed Delia to move on from Frank. 
    • Thanks for the well-detailed reply. I'm fairly early in my viewing, so I have some time before it goes nuts. Thanks a lot! @kalbir and @DRW50 thank you so much. I am just approaching 100 episodes, so I'm good for now. 
    • The Duprees as the main family isn't the problem, but the fact is that over 3/4 of the cast are Duprees.. so it limits coupling potential and also keeps the canvas too closed in. Too many female Duprees and no hetero, nor gay, male Duprees is also a problem.   I also agree with @DemetriKanethat the male characters are one note, and not very layered/interesting... outside of Bill, that is. To me, I would have focused on either Nicole's family and dynamics or Dani's family and dynamics instead of trying to introduce/develop both families at the same time.  Nicole's family is more developed and interesting with loads of storyline possiblities then Dani's family right now. And because MVJ and co decided to feature so many Duprees... we're less likely to be free of any outside characters like Ashley/Derek since they're the non-Dupree part of the canvas.
    • BTG: A B&B: B DAYS: B+ GH: A- Y&R: C-
    • I can not see Kat as a police officer and do not want that for her. Thats not her passion nor does she care about that stuff. The stuff with Eva and Leslie is specific to her life and wanting to protect her family. Her "detective" skills have more to do with her business background, which makes her very analytical and pay close attention to details. If this show had a corporation, she'd make a shrewed businesswoman and CEO I definitely dont want to see her sleep with her cousin's husband. That would be too much of a Hayley redux which ironically you dont want with the Sharon/Hayley theory
    • I would make Jan, Ashley's mom, Anita and Vernon's maid. It would lock in to why Leslie would choose to befriend both her and Mona. It also gives Ashley a connection to the Duprees and explains how she befriended Naomi. I would have had Derek start the show as a cop to explain his connection to Jacob. Kat needs to realize that she is MADE to be a detective. Have her go through police training, making the appropriate comments about the uniform along the way. Have her prove she is so much more than a rich princess, even to herself. Then, when Jacob's partner is proven to be dirty, Kat is assigned as Jacob's rookie trainee. At the same time, Naomi does finally get a case she can follow through on. Her client is a person that Jacob arrested. This puts them at odds because Jacob knows this person did it, as does Kat, but Naomi only sees the extenuating circumstances and believes he deserves a lighter sentence and a second chance. THAT is when Jacob will turn to Kat in frustration and she will lose her virginity to him. 
    • This opened my eyes and appeals to my logic. But, don't you also think that the fact that they are so ill-suited means that, by soap-opera-laws, they aren't a long term item?  I like how Belle is written now, so I appreciate the fact that she is in this story.  But, I don't believe anything will become of it, and I think EJ is going to mess it up very soon.  Which explains why I don't get too worked up over it. I'm also suspending my outrage until I see how EJ treats Belle during her mourning.  If he cheats with Cat, then we'll know that he was never meant to be happy.
    • Kristen also raped John post-Paris with a Magic Mirror.  Her pregnancy was "delicate" and they couldn't be intimate.  She had already lost the baby, needed to get pregnant immediately again and set a Stefano tricked out Magic Mirror to hypnotize John and John thought he was  having sex with Marlena.  John woke up the next day and thought it was a dream.
    • The show is only a few months in and still finding it's footing. I'm hoping MVJ has years of story in place for these characters and will pretty much stick to that plan (obviously with tweaking along the way) I do have some issues with the initial structure. Making the Duprees the centerpiece and not having a male with that name. Making Martin Vernon and Anita's would have solved that and made the age of the character more appropriate. I agree about not having a young couple in the beginnings of a romance. And having too many married couples. Jacob and Naomi could be just living together. That makes the possibility of other relationships more viable than within a marriage. Same with Smitty/Martin. Having them married with kids limits the story especially in terms of them as a gay couple.  The white characters existing in another universe is also a problem. That ties in with the workplace/job issues. I don't think they needed the hospital-instead the police station/real estate office or Martin's workplace could have utilized and have Derek/Ashley/Vanessa/Smitty/Shanice etc working and interacting there. ATM too many characters are meeting up in cafes etc-we're not seeing them at work. We needed to see more of how various characters interact eg Jacob/Bill, Ted/Bill. There were a lot of extended family scenes but there should be more one on one to get a sense of character and family dynamics. Leslie is a great character but her bag of tricks is getting over exposed. I would hate that she is kept on and other character's made to look like idiots by accepting her presence. They'll need some good writing and twists to keep her around. We can only hope some of the lesser actors improve as I don't want too many recasts or writeouts. So it's early days and I look forward to seeing the show evolve. And give the Duprees some staff!
    • Thanks. I barely remember any of the backstory there, just his ties to her parents. It was all so convoluted, everything with Tangie.
