I'm sure someone liked today's eppy.

Someone.....

Not me...but someone....

Me...I couldn't get over why the hospital was suddenly quarantined, when they know specific gifts were sent to specific people. Unless there's rampant exchanging of bodily fluids in deserted rooms, the general populace would seem to be safe.

Aaach...poor Agim. Stuck crawling through vents for no particular reason.

I loved the show. A lot of vets on from Susan to Bob. It focused on one story but I didnt mind it. Tommorrow looks good as well with only the poison story featured. Cant wait to hear PJ opinion on today's show. :)

I had a feeling you hated PJ. ;) Read my post...lol Yeah, the quarantine didnt make sense. Of course there was a mad man around. They could have used that excuse for not letting anyone in the hospital. I did enjoy the outdoor scenes of the hospital. And Super/Spider Aaron....lol

I think he was trying to get in the hospital without being seen.

But why were the stairways in the hospital so dark? :huh:

The saving grace of this poisoning story has been the inclusion of the vets. I have a lot of problems caring whether nuChris, nuAlison, nuCasey and Emily (who after more than fifteen years doesn't seem like realEmily to me) live or die. I hated the Decker story, so bringing him back for another encore grates on my nerves.

I guess I'm just annoyed that all this Alias-type action bookends a story that doesn't even seem like it was plotted. I can envision it being scribbled out on the back of some napkins at a long, five martini lunch between Goutman, John James and Pissy. I mean, it's bad when you have actual recapping going on during the supposed climax of the story. Didn't they just cover that history when Decker showed up out of the blue to analyze Sophester's murder?

Em and Casey are in the same bed because Casey will become violent if not coddled by mommy Emily. God...the way it was going, I was afraid poor Tom was going to have to excuse himself so Casey could go at Em in a delirious stupor. ICK.

Goutman with napkin in hand

Goutman: Ok Pissy you go first

Pissy: Ha....I am an O

Goutman: I'll be the X's.

James: Can we get on with this instead of you both playing tic tac doe? :lol:

Yeah that was digusting. I have a feeeling Tom and Margo would rather be strangling Emiloon. Not even Kim gave her kiddo speech to Em and Casey.

I believe the vets are making this story a whole lot more enjoyable for me. It was great to see Kim, Bob, Emily, Barbara, Susan, Tom and even a little on Emma included. The NUChris is really starting to grow on me. Tuesday's show looks good, atleast from the previews. Hopefully we will see some type of payoff in next week's ratings.

I agree that the vets are wonderful to see in this rather stupid storyline.

I actually liked the recap on why, who got what, from Decker since it felt like they wanted to explain to the viewers this is why we picked these people in this storyline. It was a connect the dots so that it makes sense. Thats alot more then GH would ever do because they don't know how to connect the dots to their stories.

The only part I fastforwarded through was the Emily and Casey stuff. There even trash when they might die. I thought Tom should have had his heart attack having to sit in that room. I know I would fake one to get out of there.

And then there was Aaron like a super spy trying to find a way into the hospital. That was so laughable. I was waiting for the mission:impossible music to start playing in the background. I thought for sure Aaron was going to accidentally become the hero and save them all. But I of course he couldn't, jerk off Chris has to save the day. What is up with jerks like Chris becoming heros.

    • I mean over the past decades. But I do agree that in recent years now, the writing is not working for them as well as it used to then. It's same old, same old...which is what made the Damian storyline refreshing. At least for me.   
    • Did Denise give any interviews where she talked about her first few years on GH... '73-75? I wonder if she had any regrets leaving Days for GH, as from what I've read, the show was in the dumps writing-wise, so am thinking she didn't have great story? Any Leslie story highlights I've seen always start with '76, after Gloria Monty took charge.
    • I know! It's like second verse, here we go again!  Agreed. Certainly there was concern maybe even fear at the highest levels for the very good reason that what they had was so economically successful, so of course this risk was scary but if anyone was brave she was. Yes, he was. I have seen her associated with getting it on the air one other place but no details nor official title. Not the writer or creator so it made me wonder if she functioned as a kind of uncredited ad hoc producer, but then maybe she just supported it. At any rate that is nothing but supposition on my part. No data! Yes, not a surprise anymore but still so frustrating! On one hand I am appreciative that she is included in this book, but scholarship where are you?!
    • that wasnt her point. She wanted to further demonize Ted; that was the main focus of their talk. She wants to ensure that Nicole leaves him so that he's free and single to be with her. At this point, I dont think she really cares what Nicole thinks of her; she just wants her out of the way Eva is Nicole's stepdaughter and is a Dupree by association. If Nicole takes Ted back then its reasonable that she would accept his daughter and i that happens, Eva will have welcomed to their country club, be invited to their parties, have access to their resources, etc....much like Andre whom also isnt a blood Dupree but is accepted by them via Nicole. Eva got what she got from Anita bc of Hayley. I think its important to remember that context bc they just dealt with an interloper that infiltrated their ranks and hurt her daughter in the worse way. Now you have another unfortunate girl positioned to do the same to her other daughter. The feelings are still too fresh and she doesnt want Eva to get the idea that she would ever be allowed the opportunity to play them again
    • Oh I've seem this! That's part of why I'm curious! The show could put EastEnders to shame on the gangster Aspect! Oh I've seem this! That's part of why I'm curious! The show could put EastEnders to shame on the gangster Aspect!
    • Eve was one of those characters that had the "Jessie Brewer"role. They had heavy storyline, they burned through it and now they are there for support and a touchstone in the community (Marland wanted to give Jessie story, but I agree with Monty...she best served in her connecting role, and keeping that damn Amy Vining busy so she keeps her nose out of things) So charcters are important and why they should have kept characters like Bridget around (even as she is more volatiles then Eve) who didnt need a big storyline but could have been behind the bar making connections and expostion, but Rauch wanted JEVA/JEVA/JEVA and DRAMA (which to him meant a lot of yelling and stupidity.)
    • Why do I feel like (or remember possible

    • A number of errors in the above article. You wonder how with all that research,how  they slipped through. I think they are conflating Women Alone with Lonely Women. I have never read anything of a serial called Women Alone. However,I am prepared to be proven wrong.   It seems Irna actually WAS interested in TV soaps as witnessed by These Are My Children airing in 1949 on NBC in the early days of TV.   I don't believe that was reluctance, rather simply good business sense as radio's dominance began to wane.   Inferring that was somehow connected to Irna who was off that show 10 years prior.   Again inferring that Phillips leaving 6 years prior had some connection to the eventual cancellation.     Again these two events are in fact one. Irna left ATWT only once in 1970 and returned in 72. She was not working on another P&G show at the time. So either she brought the ratings up or they dipped, depending on which above account you believe   Untrue. A World Apart debuted 5 years after she left AW. And AWA aired longer than a few months. Over a year in fact.   I believe Orin Tovrov was the writer. Irna was not involved in the creation of this show. And no mention of Masquerade an Irna serial  which was on air around this time.   TBD finished in 1962. As we see over and over, these inaccuracies are published and accepted as fact.
