:lol: :lol: :lol:

Thing is, when I first saw Ethan? I thought he had potential. But the more I saw of him, the more I just thought "Wow. What a mouth-breather."

And just so I don't turn this thread into "Soap Hunks Pictorial: Part Two", what was with those Spinelli/Sam/Jason "Are you really a PI?" scenes the other day? God, they just went on and on forever, and were complete filler. I'm getting the feeling, more than ever, that entire storylines are being lifted from these episodes, and a hap-hazard C-story is just being thrown together at the last minute to fill up space. The show has lost all momentum. Usually by mid-April, you can see what a show is building to in May Sweeps -- if not specifically, at least generally. (Like the serial killer revealed/Rex's dad on OLTL... or Nick/Sharon/Phyllis blowing up on Y&R, or the Otalia/Frank wedding fallout on GL) But with GH, it's just puttering along with ZERO build. Filler, filler, filler.

JMB was fantastic on Friday. She was just all-around fierce. The weave, the coat, the acting......AWESOME.

I didn't like Maxie being there in the middle of the JoLu fight. I really wanted her to STFU. I thought it was funny that Johnny basically threw her under the bus, though. Maxie should've ripped him a new one for doing that. Instead, she defended him. I love JoMax but the writing is killing them. However, the writing is killing the whole show. So what else is new? :lol:

I would love to see Spinelli tucked and pulled tighter than Jackie Zeman.

Anyway, I listened to GH today from my computer and was glad that Maxie finally admitted that she's just a shallow slut who could never find passion with that unappealing Spinelli, and just likes him as an accessory. Spinelli needed that to be free.

Can Maxie and Johnny have hot, sweaty, up-against-a-wall monkey sex now? It's been a while since I've seen that on a soap. I'm tired of having to turn to porn for that, or to have to go looking for it myself in the bars. Drinks are expensive.

I want to see Maxie picking Johnny's chest hair out of her teeth.

Okay, I have a really good vocabulary.

But DES has single-handedly taught me "Otter", "FDF" and "Sick'ning". Before you're done with us, we'll be ready for any social setting :)

Damn, guys, you are rough. I've watched him a few times (with the sound down, I admit). He's not cute?

Or hole in the wall, the way you're talking.

Now I've got to look up another slang. "Mouth-breather". I had to google "Butterface". I'm 44 (almost, sob). I'm not supposed to know all this stuff.

Next new vocab. "Abstinential". I wish I had to take the GRE vocab all over again.

Confused! I thought that was supposed to happen on the first HD episode 4/23.

Ah, I lament not having DaytimeFan to ask about these things.

Yech. Spinelli's bagginess makes him a regular "mensch"...not a pretty boy.

And why chest hair, if the sex between Maxie and Johnny is really supposed to be good?

    • Didn't Carrie2 even seduce a minor? Ick. Wait. Josh had an affair with Vanessa? Or she just thought he did? I know people always say "it's just a soap" but the way mental illness is portrayed on soaps (and that goes for pretty much all of them) has always been not great, especially PPD. They practically turned Claire into The Joker. She also was trying to seduce men. (I notice that now Mary Ryan Munisteri is listed as co HW with Ryder in the 1986 episodes, Claire has calmed down a lot. Never thought her GL career was very good but seems like she tried to course correct that a bit).
    • sss Ms. Tunie is a goddess. I feel all the anger, pride, sadness, arrogance, dignity, fear, love, and other emotions in everything she does as Anita.
    • You're right. People like me who stuck with her, did so because of her history. The show just skated her along with no story,  no goal, no aim. Right again! This is who I forgot before. When you describe her, it makes me appreciate her more. Thinking back I loved Mandy.
    • Maybe Guza is becoming Y&R Head writer and Jilly will be named EP! Remember CBS installed Latham as consultant and later Mal Young, both of whom took over the show. Of course, they each got credit during the consulting days.
    • Don't forget Carrie, who as Carrie2 was screwing everything in pants, and PPD Reva, who to either get back at Josh for his supposed affair with Vanessa (or just to prove she's more desirable than Van) tries to screw half the male population.
    • Post-production isn't exactly akin to sweeping the floors, but it makes more sense given her CV.  And, it would invalidate any concerns that she has an undo influence on the creative process, as opposed to visual and sound design of the show.  In fact, given her interests, it makes sense that she would want to consult and see the impact of newer technology in a post-production facility.  I could only imagine how much has changed in sound technology since she worked on SB, and that might be intriguing to utilize. As well as their impending move (not as soon as B&B, but we all know it will happen) and helping set up post-production at the new facility. 
    • The last five or so episodes of season 8 after the Jean Hackney story ended were pretty strong with the Laura/Val friendship breakdown, Ben's PTSD with Val trying to help him, and the start of Jill realizing that Val was as much of a threat to her happiness with Gary as Abby was. I always thought that the Jean Hackney story should have ended at mid season at the latest... and then deal with the fall-out because seeing Ben/Val switch roles with Ben in mental decline instead of Val would have been interesting to explore.  And seeing Val and Laura's friendship suffer also was interesting and should have been explored especially with Karen caught in the middle and Abby both intrigued and amused at the conflict that she didn't cause. However, season 8 was the only Latham run season where Val was well written.  
    • Well, she's not in there sweeping the floors at the end of the night, and you don't bring in an award-winning producer to just sit on their backsides (or hey, maybe you do!). Again, without knowing the specific capacity she's in there working as⏤and it seems as if we are not going to at the present time⏤it's hard to speculate/discuss. I would interpret she's in a role that either would not require being credited, or she's, as others have speculated, is back and not receiving credit for the work she's done. That'd be like saying, per the WGA, all writers must be credited, but as we've seen by those who've worked as fi-core, they don't always receive credit.

       And, if my research is correct, per the DGA, you can request not to be credited for work you do. I could only assume the same would be for the PGA, as well.
    • When Anita read Barbara's letter, it started out with the viewers hearing it in Barbara's voice as Anita read silently. And then Anita saying the next portion aloud while Barbara's voice continued simultaneously. And then ending with Anita alone saying the last part aloud. Excerpt from interview  (link to full interview) The rest may be spoilerish -- Only the nonspoiler part here: I love the idea of reading that letter,” shares Tunie. “And at one point in the script, I think it said that my voice joined her, and [Anita] started reciting the letter from memory because [she] memorized this letter. I suggested to Steve Williford, our director, ‘What if it’s like that moment in Hamilton when Hamilton is writing the resignation letter to George Washington, and then he starts saying it too, and then Hamilton’s voice fades away, and then it’s all George. What if we do something like that?’ And he was like, ‘Oh, my God! I just got chills. Let’s do it!’ So, we did it.” I understood that it worked really well, so I’m really happy about that.”  
    • I think MVJ and Guza made a good team in the launching of the soap, and I'm hoping that the rotation of all stories and characters is maintained once he officially departs from the credits. And so far, Ron C's breakdowns have been decent... but they pop only when he's paired with a good script writer like Jazmin.   I hope once Guza leaves officially... that MVJ is able to reign in Ron C and the dread Jamey G.
