I'll settle for Spinelli being Jason and Sam's sidekick. He is not a leading man. He is not attractive and I never want to see him with his shirt off again.

Ethan is weird looking and he talks like he has marbles in his mouth. I can only imagine how fugly Dante will be.

I still do not think that Ethan will be Luke's on. How could Lulu break him in and have another romantic pairing fail? I see Dante next on her long list of romantic failures.

It seems that Bradford is a nice guy. On the other hand, Spinelli is boring and repetitive. He's not funny. He just needs to go.

I couldnt agree more.

I think Brad Anderson is adorable, i wouldnt midn seeing him shirtless again. I also dont think NP is ugly. No, i dont wanna throw them down and have sex with them, but i am far from thinking they are ugly. I love that GH is casting guys that do not look like they are in a gym 22 hours a day. The men of GH look real, and i love it.

From SOC, Genie Francis and Jonathan Jackson are NOT happy with the LnL rewrite:

"The Canadian TV Guide" interviewed Genie Francis and Jonathan Jackson and asked them about changing Spencer history.

To paraphrase--Genie says she hates the story and called Tony and told him she thought it went too far. She says the viewers aren't stupid. That they remember what Luke and Laura were like in the early 90's and that Luke never cheated on Laura during those times.

Jonathan Jackson said that when he was around the Spencers were a loving family both on and off the screen. He sees NO reason to mess with that. And he repeats what Genie said in a seperate interview...the viewers aren't stupid.

Go Jonathan! Go Genie!

But nobody at ABC will care...

Thanks for posting that ZF.

Yeah, IA, the viewers aren't stupid. It's ABC who is stupid because they just shot themselves in the foot yet again.

If MB, TC, SB, GV, JC, BB, IR, JJY, and JT look real and like the average guy, point the way and I'll follow you. They are extremely good looking men and I like looking at them a lot.

At this point, nothing Bob Guza does surprises me anymore. Ethan is Luke and Holly's son? Fine. Oh, what's that you say, Mr. Guza? Steve Hardy actually was a neo-Nazi who tried to create "the perfect race" in his secret lab at GH? Sweeps-tastic!

I have watched GH sporadically over the years but I'm not watching right now. However, I did see that Mala from SOW talked about this storyline in her blog today. I thought you might want to see her thoughts on the storyline.

Mala's SOW Blog

You'd think that seeing a rapist-turned-hero like GH's Luke fall as far as he's fallen in recent years would somehow warm the cockles of my heart. That I would take joy in what a degenerate loser and deadbeat he's become. But, honestly...? All it does is make me sad. Because I may never have particularly liked Luke or liked that the most famous soap love story of all time sprang from a rape, but I do know what a phenomenon Luke and Laura were, what an impact they had on viewers, and how amazing their 1993 return — and the introduction of their children — was for longtime fans. That's not something I'm sure the show itself remembers. Because there is nothing worthwhile about Luke Spencer anymore. He's a drunken, womanizing, lout who is ashamed of his own son for being a cop and a devoted father. It's as if the years he spent saving the world from freezing, being the mayor, and then raising a family with Laura...that was all an aberration and he's really just a Florida pimp at heart, who is glad to finally proclaim that fact to the planet at large.

Then again, on a show where the mobsters are the heroes, maybe that's supposed to be a good thing?

A few years ago, Marvel Comics erased the banner love story of Spiderman and Mary Jane Watson. There was a huge outcry and, trust me, many fans are still not happy with Marvel head honcho Joe Quesada. But in Spidey and the writers' defense...? He traded his marriage for what he felt was the greater good. What the heck is Luke's excuse for turning his back on Laura? A little dyspepsia after too much cheap booze?

I would love to point the finger solely at the Ethan Lovett story, but Luke's decline has been going on gradually for years. The hookers, the conning Tracy, the way he treats Lucky and Lulu, etc. What the push to make Ethan his son did do is finally grind the last vestiges of Luke and Laura's celebrated romance into powder. GH stepped on it like the glass at a Jewish wedding and then kept on going. And how did it seem like a good idea? I really want to know. Who sits around thinking, "You know what? We're going to bring on this new actor that we love and to make the audience love him, we'll have Luke instantly respect his character more than he respects Lucky. And then, we'll have Luke admit he cheated on Laura constantly and, therefore, could be the kid's father. The fans will...LOVETT!"

Much like when Nikolas was introduced in 1996 and revealed to be a son Laura conceived when Stavros kidnapped her, there were easy outs in Luke's actual history that would've respected his relationship with Laura. The show could've hand-waved Holly miscarrying his baby when he was presumed dead. The show could've had Ethan potentially be Bill and Holly's. But no. They deliberately pointed out Ethan is roughly Lulu's age and had Luke cop to stepping out on his wife. To channel Nancy Kerrigan, as I often do, "Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?"

How can a show that is so consistent and deft in handling the throughline of Jason and Carly's friendship be so clumsy with Luke and Laura, the most iconic couple in daytime? I don't get it.

And, believe me, I'd like to say nice things about GH. I think the cast is so talented, and I have great respect for everyone involved in putting the show on the air. But I don't praise the show very much, and I sometimes feel guilty about the constant barrage of criticism and the passive-aggressive swipes. Until I realize that there's one simple solution: Hey, GH, stop giving me the opening.

Oh Lord.... :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Who in the world are they going to hook him up with?

GH seems to have forgot all about couples?

GH needs a couple more younger female characters for all these male characters?

Mala is love

Well before these females can be paired with the other male's on the show, Sonny has to bang them out first.

Luke's going to be happy that Ethan is his. Lucky's going to go mental.

I think Lulu's thrust into the Michael story is to have her hook up with Dante. She'll be Emily to Michael's Jason, the sisterly figure.

Hmm, I was hoping for Robert only because to me if everyone assumes A, then the natural dramatic conclusion is B. That said, I like the guy who plays Ethan and enjoy is chemistry with TG. The timeline doesn't work at all though with all the sorasing and recasting that has happened. GV looks to be about 10 years too old to be Lucky, JMB is too old to be Lulu, and I guess if GH is to be accurate that means NP is 10 years too young to be Ethan. Oh well, such is soaps.
