Right there with you. Carly/Sonny/Jax/Yawny/Claudia all having the same conversation they've had for the past month? I can't even deal.

And why does every scene with Luke have to be about how Luke was pressured into having a family with Laura, etc? I watched GH back then and that's not what I remember seeing on my screen. Guza really has it in for L&L. :huh:

^u know whats funny. i didnt watch l&l back in the day... and i started in like 98/99 and dint like luke and laura because i always felt luke could be so awesome without that heroine. so once he started being like i enver wanted that i was like i know u didnt luke. then i watched old clips and was like... oh yes u did luke.

the reason i dont find gh is sucking is because i watch it on youtube now. anything to do with liz, nik, maxie, patrick, robin. i dont watch anything else. and i knows am isnt on and that makes it 100xs betetr all instelf.

LOL, I'm glad you checked out some of the older clips because they are so worth it. Luke & Laura never had a conventional "suburban" marriage. They lived (and loved) on the run, in the midst of danger and some of her mental fragility and adored each other body and soul. I was too young to be an L&L fangirl like many were back in the 80s, but I do remember Luke lighting up around her. He pursued her, adored her and protected her. He wanted her in his life, always. And the same went for little Lucky and Lulu. I don't know why Guza is working so hard to pretend that the complete opposite happened. It's like he hates Laura as much as he hates the Quartermaines.

And this is not a diss on Luke & Tracy or AG and JE. I think they are great together. I don't think that in order for a new pairing to work, you necessarily need to spit on and destroy previous pairings tied to one of the characters. Guza pulls that a lot with the couples (Sonny & Brenda/Brenda & Jax/Jax & Carly/Carly & Sonny being one example). The exception might well be Scrubs, where Robin has been able to pay tribute to her relationships with Stone and Jason without it affecting with her love for Patrick.

Robin is the only person thats able to be ina relationship and look back on her past ones and not trash them. I am rather shcoked Guza dont have her hoping Stone is in hell for giving her HIV and cursing jason for the carly thing to be honest.

LOL, OK, in fairness? Luis left her to die in the snow. He caused the warehouse explosion which killed her sister. They tussled on a balcony and he fell. Jason? Gets paid to murder people. That's his job. That's "the way it's gotta be." :rolleyes:

Love Alexis and Diane

Love Diane & Max

Love Maxie

Love the 'Mac Attack'

Love Jax

HATE Claudia - can she die now?

HATE Carly - can she go with Claudia?

HATE Emily - I thought she was already dead, why am I still seeing her?

HATE Lulu - see Carly and Claudia above

Robin's getting on my nerves, and Finola came back for this????? Didn't think the whole Luke/Anna thing was funny, just stoopid. When is Mr. Craig returning? Hope it's soon cause this Jerry act is getting boring.

Um ... Jason playing the hero, big surprise. Yeah only not. And can he get any nastier with Maxie and Spinelli. Love Kate and the fashionista story they have her in with Maxie and Lulu. Not sure yet about Maxie vs Lulu, so far so good.

Nadine I love her quirkyness. I enjoy her with Nikolas, but can Tyler work a little bit and give some effort in this story. Geesh! I know he wants to be paired with LW and/or SBr, but come on .... be professional and give a little in the story you got!

Carly just needs to go away and live in her own fantasy world of denial in another state without being seen or heard from.....and take Michael with you! Jax will be okay raising Morgan by himself, considering YOU could care less about both of them.

IMO

Oooooooo! Fighting words! :P Yeah, Guza's made that point. Jason is always in a situation where killing involves saving some poor damsel in distress, too.

But that doesn't mean he's right to kill on a regular basis. The people he kills may be killers, but he's usually paid to take them out not because they ARE killers but because they get in the way of Sonny's grab for power.

Bring IT! :lol:

Heres the thing tho. The peopl eh kills are killers, and most of them do the same thing he does. It would be like if one of them kills him. I eman, yes murder is wrong, but at the same time when you get into that life style thats the choice you make. I know these is an extreme but, its like if you enter into the boxing world and someone punchs u int he face, u didnt expect that?

And my point is people like Alexis are hypocrtis. She is a killer. She killed Luis Alacazar. She plotted to kill Helena. Granted, nither are saints, but nither are the people jason kills. Killing someone because theyu are a killer for free vs killing someone because they are a kilelr and getting paid... i dont see the diff to be honest.

Im honeslty not a mob fan or norm a jason defender, im just saying...

    • 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 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.
    • 81 and 82 were rather bad, with the infamous invasion of the Kirkland family. But sometime in late 82 or early 83, Claire Labine was rehired as head-writer and immediately put the focus back on the Ryan's. This time Labine's tenure was short, but she did great work. The entire show was compelling again -- especially the Charlotte Greer storyline (one of the best plots of the entire series).  But Labine was fired, yet again, and Ryan's Bar was bombed, resulting in most of the action being transferred to Greenberg's Deli, and a focus on younger characters with little connection to the Ryan family. So that is what you are probably seeing from 84.   
    • It wasn't that altruistic. He made Tangie a substitute for Blake and was apparently so creepy about it that Tangie spent the years in between getting away from him and running into him in Springfield believing that he had purchased her to be his child bride. It was only when she got to know Blake that she realized that she realized his feelings for her were paternal and suddenly she and Roger became friends.
    • When I watched 1999 Daytime Emmys in real time, I was like "Daytime Emmys will never top this" and that's exactly what happened (at least IMO).
    • Yes in Sami's case lots of people took issue with her being with Dumbell Austin outside of the Carrie issue, cause she drugged him and raped him by pretending to be Carrie. Austin didn't consent & well Ejami fans have used that as a smokescreen against the backlash of Sami & EJ being paired. It's also not so much as being paired with someone period, but paired with his victim & his victim sister. That's a line that should never be crossed by Belle/EJ esp Belle cause Sami isn't the only person in her family that EJ has terrorized. For all points and purposes since she was aged to a teen, Belle has been a daddy's girl so on top of the betrayal when it comes to Sami it's also with John. He ran him down & murdered him after raping her sister. On top of all the other evil [!@#$%^&*] he has done. "Good dick", ONS with a monster one time is one thing we all have lapses of judgements, it's whole different thing to be a whole bird who throws her self respect out the window for a roll in the hay relationship with a monster & act like you have selective amnesia about his many crimes towards your family. While getting on your self righteous hoiler than thou horse about others. No there wouldn't be as much as outrage if he was paired with someone like his equally rapey Black family terrorizing sister, or Ava, Gabi or even Nicole. So it's not as much as about him being paired with someone period, it's more of who he should never be paired with his rape victim, her sister's or anyone in the family of the man he viciously ran down. I don't expect much of anything from EJ but I expect a lot more from Belle. As far as Kristen goes Brady has been called everything but the word of God rightfully so for being with his rapist, his brothers rapist, the psycho who terrorized his parents for decades, family, the woman he claimed to love after she violated her by using a mask of her face

      to pretend to be her so he would sleep with her. Drugging his sister ie,: Sami. If Kristen was paired with someone that wasn't her victim or victims like Alex, Xander, [!@#$%^&*] even Ben no one would really care for the most part. So I hope this gives you a little insight and I hope you know I wasn't trying to be rude.
