GH: May Discussion Thread

[Ann_SS]

It was nice to see Robin and Patrick back together today. They brought the pretty. The baby who plays Emma is a sweetie.

I hate this Luke/Ethan/Holly story. I want all of them to die painful deaths.

Olivia needs to cover up her fake boobs. She is too old to have those things busting out. Guza has never seen a pair of big boobs that he doesn't want to display and fondle.

No words for Maxie choosing that over Johnny.

Ann_SS, do you mind if I add one word to your comments about Luke/Holly/Ethan? How about them dying VERY painful deaths? I'm so sick of the three of them I could scream.

The writers making Ethan Robert's son (possibly) doesn't change the fact that Luke CHEATED on Laura and then gave her GARBAGE about Nik, later on. Luke is such an odious worthless piece of crap, to me, now that I can't stand him.

It's just painful (VERY painful) watching GH these days.

Sonny and Jason's son has finally opened his eyes and now that the boy has spoken, I'm waiting for the relapse!

My aggressive tendencies kick into high gear when GH is on.

[Ann_SS]

NorrthCafe, I do not mind at all. I am so pleased that I am not the only one that this story is driving up the wall.

Luke is simply pathetic now. Oh, let me share some news with you:

Just when you think that this story couldn't suck worse, Guza proves you wrong.

Well Holly met Lucky for the first time on Friday and they had a big confrontation where Lucky really went off at Holly. I think Lucky's anger was something she really wasn't expecting. Its telling that it was after her meeting with Lucky that she told Ethan and Luke that Robert was Ethan's father.

So she's either decided to end her con game and confess the truth that Robert is Ethan's father.

Or she's lying ( and Luke really is Ethan's father) in order to spare Lucky's feelings.

Whatever the case there's still one more person for Holly to deal with and I just know that Robin is not going to be happy when she finds out whats been going on in her absence!

I've really been liking this story ever since they have bringing others into it. For three months it was just Luke, Tracy and Ethan (with appearances by Lulu and Lucky) but now they have brought others into it...heck even Edward and Monica got to add their two cents worth last week.

As for the other storylines, I love that Jason asked Monica for help with Michael and Michael looking up to Jason as his mentor. I hope Jason and Monica can be the ones who provide stability for Michael while the rest of the adults (Edward, Sonny and Carly) squabble over him.

Liked Robin's scenes with Patrick at the restaurant and hope they can get things back on track.

Didn't like the way that Spinelli seemed to be rubbing the fact that Johnny slept with Olivia in both Maxie and Lulu's faces. Though the fact that Lulu didn't seem to give a damn was great lol.

[NorrthCafe]

Oh I just can't take it... In my world, it would be lovely if Holly, Ethan, Luke, Michael, Sonny, and Jason went for a drive... and it was the last anyone heard from them.

Oh, count me in on the hate for the Luke-Destruction SL. I am pleased that Luke and Tracy get some story that isn't ridiculously filler or full of "funny" antics. However, the whole thing feels like an agenda -- to destroy the Luke & Laura legacy once and for all.

Not saying this was a Love for the Ages -- L&L had their problems, ranging from that rape (which Guza wisely revisited back in the 90s) to running from the mob, to Nikolas & Stefan and all that. I just HATEHATEHATE the way the writers are telling us that everything that went before was a lie! I watched it with my own eyes. For better or for worse, Luke and Laura were in love with each other -- obsessed with each other. They resented each other, too, but couldn't get the other out of their system. So don't pretend that it was deluded Laura who held her husband back from fulfilling his true potential! And that Luke hated his kids and was a drunken father because I didn't see that either.

Now that Laura is gone, the hate seems to be targeted at Lucky. Huh?

Even the Luke-loves-Tracy stuff. I'm glad these two misguided sould have found each other, but TIIC don't need to destroy Luke's previous relationships in order to big this couple up. Robin never minimized the impact that Stone and Jason had in her lives, and that doesn't make her love for Patrick any less strong or attractive to Scrubs' legion of fans.

[Cat]

Just wanted to add: the Holly I used to watch also was not some callous ho who uses the babies she abandoned to trick her ex-lovers. Holly had a past as a con, but she was also a fun, sympathetic character who was resourceful and basically decent and transformed by her love for Robert. In other words, a heroine.

[Juliajms]

I think Holly lied because she felt bad for Lucky and Laura. I'm not saying that makes any sense, but I don't believe she told Luke the truth.

[Ann_SS]

Robin's situation is unique. Even Guza is going to be careful around with Stone as Robin's first love who died from AIDS, plus he constantly uses Stone as excuse to why Robin is so guarded with her heart even though Jason's betrayal is more likely the reason. Talking about Jason, he is basically a soap god to Guza so there is no way that any of his former loves are going to diss him or Sonny for that matter. In contrast, Jason declares every single one of his women is his greatest love and that he has never loved any women like her before. Jason did not even act concerned when Robin was infected with the monkey virus, he was too busy saving his new love Sam and her brother. Liz declared that she loved Jason all along even when she loved and married Lucky the first time around. Guza's apparently has a pathological need to destroy Luke and Laura, but having his characters dismiss and denigrate their former loves is the norm.

Even though I'm sure Rebecca is hiding something, somehow.. Lucky and Elizabeth, especially Lizzie are becoming extremely annoying. Yesterday's scenes with picking out her outfit and her makeup just seemed so childish. I'm sure Liz means well, but seriously.

I love how Ric keeps showing up at Sonny's house talking to Claudia and Sonny shows up. Seriously, Claudia needs to be exposed.

Loved the Scorpio-Drake family moments. Baby Emma is a cutie.

GH has been pretty solid this week.

[Cat]

^^ Baby Emma is the best actor on GH. And the cutest. Did you see yesterday when Robin was rubbing her back while rocking her to sleep? That baby actually acted being asleep for a minute or two (before getting restless and stealing the scene anyway). I never used to be a Scrubs fan -- I always thought Robin was like a harpy during their courtship days -- but I *love* their scenes now. LOVE.

I have noticed that, too. Destroying other writers' very popular pairings seems to be Guza's M.O. But the Luke/Laura/Lucky destruction seems "more." As you say, it seems like a pathological hatred.

I usually like Liz on the whole, but girl was on self-righteous Bitch Mode yesterday. When Nikolas & Rebecca were about to have dinner and she spat about "lamb and mint sauce" being Emily's favorite? It was like LIz = 12 year's old. And, OMG, how weak is this SL? Rebecca wears a light-colored shirt and reads a book in front of the fire and she must automatically be channelling Emily? Duh, NO, Rebecca channels Emily because she looks and, um, like, sounds EXACTLY like her!

JOlivia. I like!

[Southofnowhere]

It would be cool if Ethan turned out to be working for Hells and playing both Holly&Luke.

Hells foundout about Holly having Luke's son and hired Ethan to play the role.

[ranger1rg]

is there a clause in steve burton's contract that he willwear only black t-shirts?

i'm ok with the t's, but how about some color once in a while?

[DRW50]

I think the Ethan disaster is "more" because Tony Geary is more than happy to go along with the destruction. Kimberly McCullough seems to have a very strong reluctance to go far with trashing the Scorpio legacy or trashing Robin's previous relationships, and as long as she stays around, someone is going along with her wish. I remember when she left in '98 and they trashed Robin badly on her way out of town. Her entire return in 1998 was horribly written and made her look bad.

I like Johnny and Olivia together. I wish I could enjoy this story instead of wondering when Johnny is going to be ruined because everything has to be about Sonny.

Here's the Serial Drama gals parsing Tony Geary's recent ridiculous interview (I think my favorite part is when he basically says Luke likes Holly because she's a whore...)
