GL: February Discussion


Recommended Posts

  • Members

As good as the episode was, I am torn about the way the flashbacks were done. JD and FH were great in them and they fit what was happening but since they were fabricated solely to fit into this episode, I have to think that original scenes from her pregnancy and Coop's childhood would have been more touching. The fact that they would be more random would only make them more realistic.

I don't think that visual continuity is the most important thing. Are they gonna never show any flashbacks ever again now except for scenes that were shot outdoors like Jeva's Cross Creek wedding that they showed pieces of last summer? That's just plain unnecessary. We all know that GL never looked like it does now until last year. We can deal with the contrast. If the writing remains as good as it's been, we can ignore alot of things.

Liz Keifer interview.

http://1000worlds.wordpress.com/2009/02/17...ew-springfield/

Sounds like she has some good material coming up. I took a long time to get over Sherry Stringfield but I admire Liz Keifer for sticking with GL after the tripe they have given her throughout this decade. Now that Phillip is back Blake should, if GL remembers to use her, be more relevant than ever.

Beth and Coop started having an affair when she went back to school, against Alan's protests, and Coop was tutoring her. When Alan found out about the affair, he blackmailed Beth into re-marrying him by threatening to keep their daughter away from her and having Coop hurt. Even though Beth broke up with him, Coop knew that she was being threatened into the marriage and vowed to stop the wedding. Coop was in a car crash as he was on his way to the church while he was on the phone with a threatening Alan. Phillip, who had just returned to town, was also on his way to the church when he heard the crash. He pulled Coop from the wreck and got him to the hospital. Coop suffered massive brain damage after his heart stopped beating and Buzz had to take him off life-support at the end of Tuesday's show.

Blake began pursuing Coop while encouraging his writing career. Around the same time, insecure Ashlee decided to get a gastric band. She pushed Coop away, and he began sleeping with Blake, then eventually moved on to Beth. I never understood why they broke up. Ashlee even said as much a few days ago.

If Blake ever sleeps with Buzz, that would mean she hit the trifecta in two different families (Spaulding and Cooper). It would also mean she had shared two men with her mother.

That must qualify for some kind of prize. Or professional help.

I love how they had coop know before anyone else that he wasn't going to be around long, telling Frank to help their dad.

AND

they're making it all about Buzz! which is fantastic. GL knows where its bread is buttered and by writing Deas to shine, they're getting the most bang for their buck.

GL IS GETTING ITS SH!T TOGETHER, MAY I SAY IT?!

Alex is back! The relationship between Alex and Phillip was always very special and I'm glad to see them together again.

I liked many of the small moments in today's show (Reva and Buzz, Josh and Buzz). Most soaps don't bother with those now.

They need to do some rehab on Lizzie.

Yay Alex!! :D

And I agree.. I love GL when they have those little moments and have characters move from scenes with one person to another to another... instead of a whole show with interaction with just one other character.

And oh yeah... did I mention...

Yay Alex!!! :D

Now it's time to find Wanda... :huh:

Agreed. But even bigger than that, I liked that sense of community shown today, which I think should always have been a major part of the show. Unfortunately, that's one of the few major downpoints of budget cuts is that we don't see as much of it as we could (and should for a show based on charity and brotherhood). I liked that Mel, Alex (offscreen presumably), Josh, Reva, and Jeffrey (ugh) went to pay their condolences to Buzz.

      I came in with a dream and left with a purpose. From lecture halls to rehearsals, community work to creative sets, every moment shaped me. I’m so proud of the stories I’ve told here — and the ones still unfolding. Grateful to everyone who poured into me, supported me, challenged me, and believed in me. Fours up and peace out! #UCLA #ClassOf2025 #BlackBruinExcellence #YearbookVideo @jordanward              
    • The actor who plays Martin has been teasing that nobody has guessed Martin's secret. I love that for things like that and the June story we have no idea. I feel like if we didn't have the day ahead feeds Anita's reveal would've been shocking as well. I love that they aren't going the obvious route with these stories. 
    • I tried following the news in Los Angeles at https://laist.com (independent public radio and news) They had up-to-the minute accurate info during the wildfires in January. There's no video, no impact to my mind as to what's happening. Trying other outlets, to get the truth, but it's hard.  
    • That's a bit murky since that happened during a writers' strike. Assuming Kristen Marie had a 2-year contract she left about when her contract would have expired and Sharlene and Josie showed up right before that. Lemay was officially credited as HW from September 1988 but it seems very probable that his anticipated tenure influenced events that happened during the strike which started in April. 
    • I've seen so many posters over the years who are bright, creative, well-versed in soap history, and who care deeply about the integrity of the genre. I'd put the shows' chances in their hands a lot faster than I would allow any of the "usual suspects" to take control of the dramas they've already helped decimate. When I returned to university in the 1980s, I created a bible for a new soap and presented it in my screenwriting class. It was in reaction to how badly I saw the network shows being butchered at the time. The creative process was thrilling; a total joy, and I still smile when I remember the positive feedback I received from the professor and my fellow students. I was used to seeing written commentary from professors on my work. This one wrote me a long, complimentary note on the final page of the bible, but also graded it 97%, A+. I was beaming ear to ear for days!

    • Thanks. I do wonder if Rose was meant to be more given the caliber of actress they hired. I remembered Sara and Peggy staying longer as they were still on when Soapnet started their repeats. I wonder if that was part of the reason they brought Jake's brother in. 
    • Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.

    • Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return
    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994.
