I don't quite agree on everything stated. For instance:

I don't see the harm in this one. No mother would just accept that their child is gone, and since when are doctors considered as absolute truth?

BTW I don't watch GH anymore, but is Dylan Cash officially gone from the show?

We could wrangle about whether Carly, as a mother, would or would not have taken the doctor's word as final on her son all day long. It's a matter of opinion.

We could also debate whether Carly has evolved that much from her days as Sonny's dysfunctional f*ck-bunny. I don't think she has but many believe her actions the last few weeks (like asking Sonny to give up his rights to Morgan) represent a total 180.

Marlena also talks about the CarSon limo scene as if Guza meant for it to be some great love reunion. I disagree with her. I don't think Guza cares about love in the afternoon or even "love in wartime," as he so memorably puts it. I think he views Carly as a sociopath. And Michael's death represents punishment for Sonny. I think Guza wanted the limo scene to be seedy and pathetic. Because GH is not a soap to him. It's a drama, like The Sopranos! Revealing the rotten motives of rotten people! :rolleyes:

Marlena's point, though, is that GH is soulless and empty and emotionally bankrupt. And I absolutely agree with her.

You know, a show like The Shield -- which I love -- shows the soulless, violent and morally bankrupt underbelly of inner city LA. But even at its most depressing and despairing, there is soul and evolution and real emotion, thanks to the characters. Even the conflicted anti-hero Vic Mackay has a soul. Well, GH doesn't even have that. TIIC just want to focus on characters with no redeeming qualities whatsoever because they think they are pushing the envelope or something. :rolleyes:

Guza and McTavish are like soul siblings. They write with such misogyny its absolutely disgusted. I loved Marlena's describing the "Real" AMC. She hit the nail right on the head. Its been refreshing with all facets of this Jesse/Angie storyline to see us getting glimpses of what our show used to consist of.

    • Yes!!! Mona feels  like one of my aunts, love the way she carries herself. Loved seeing Eva pop-up at the gambling place.  Monday was all around good soap. Can't remember the last time an entire episode held my interest.  Loving the fallout and reverberations from Ted and Shea-Butter Sheila's affair

      . Tricia Mann Grant is 90s early 2000s quality FINE. As nice as it would've been to see Anita embrace Eva, I'm glad she didn't because we can squeeze a lot more years of conflict out of Eva, Leslie and the Duprees.   Lauren & Sheila, Viki & Dorian, Katherine & Jill all gave us good conflict for decades. Hopefully this follows suit. I understand the concern. Right now there's an issue of quality of black representation on shows more so than quantity of black shows. I'd like to see more predominantly black sci-fi, legal, political, supernatural or medical dramas over the typical who is sleeping with who. However, this is a soap, and this is what happens on soaps. White soap characters do these things all the time, but have the luxury of being seen as individuals, not representations of their entire race. Husbands/fathers like Todd Manning, Victor Newman and Asa Buchanan cheat, lie and swindle all the time but aren't seen as a commentary on white men. Black characters like Ted and New Dollar Bill should be able to do the same.

    • Even under the new writers, Jamey episodes are the shortest and the weakest A lot of people were unnecessarily clowny and bitchy today. There was a lot of fluff and filler too. And the dialogue was a little… ehhh as well. But welcome back, Kevin! It’s been a long time lol his return still seems really random but I don’t mind it. Philip’s actions make sense to me based on everything that’s happened to him lately and it could possibly set up more tension between him and Xander/Alex. And I wouldn’t mind seeing him and Kevin team up. I thought the actor did a good job too. Too bad that they couldn’t get Robert Benvenisti back though. I didn’t realize it in 2001 but he was hot

      And, we got the word that Arianna wants to come home. I’m looking forward to that, and seeing her relationships with Gabi, Marlena, etc. on display and I hope that

      As for Rachel’s birthday party… was Days hinting at something that we’ve been speculating about since EJ was shot?

    • Portugal qualifying was the only shocker. I'm really happy for Iceland. IMO, the automatic finalists – Spain, Switzerland and Italy – had the best performances. I love the studio version of Azerbaijan, but on stage, it was a disaster.
