GL: August discussion


Recommended Posts

^^^ Ah, Mitch! That sounds absolutely fan-tab! :D

I realize pre-EW GL was nothing to write home about, but IMHO she destroyed this show. She destroyed with the new "production model" launch when the show was obviously not ready. She destroyed it by choosing "cutie pie" Krapsman to (supposedly) write the show. She destroyed it by allowing these inane pairings like Cassie/Josh, Marina/Mallet, Harley/Cyrus to continue for months and months.

The bones of this show were still in place when she took the reins. It was by her hands that it has died.

When I tune in these days to watch, a little over a month before the finale, I'm pissed off that there seems to be no momentum in the stories heading into September. It seems everyone is just wandering around town, aimless and directionless, waiting for someone to cross their path in the most pathetic way, and then have a throw-away, pointless conversation with them.

And yesterday's show with Bill going on about how he thinks "that one was a boy" after boinking Lizzie was just <<< ugh >>>. And for him to continue with the "I'm gonna give you a girl now" was just TMI over the top for me. Hey, I'm all for everyone gettin' some, but that was just a little too much for me.

It makes me wonder how the show is going to end. So far, it doesn't look promising.

Billy and Lizzie are supposed to be "cute," but both of them come off as being, uh stupid most of the time. I know this is Wheeler's reaction to viewer's complaints that the show is to dreary, but come on, they are both educated young adults who have come through a [!@#$%^&*] load of issues and they act like they are high school sweethearts without a care in the world. Yesterday's thing with him and the sex problem was supposed to be funny(and the Bill actor played it well) but made Bill look like a tard (who in their right mind would bring up sex to their mother, much less Vanessa???)

Just be thankfull they didnt go to WSPR and hold a press conference like they did everytime one of them farted or had a hangnail.

All of Wheeler's NUGL have been people walking around having pointless conversations. It made more sense when they had the Beacon lobby where everyone would go or to go really old school, have everyone converge at Cedars ( there was a reason old school soaps had set everything in a hospital, it made more sense if everyone worked there to bump into each other.)

What the hell is Robert Newman doing??Did he make a pack with Satan or something, or did God just feel sorry for him for having to have scenes where Zimmer opens up that gaping maw of hers constantly to scream! The man looks better then he did when he first started on the show.

I know all the BC/Jeffie and KZ/Reva cookoo nustsos would disagree, but it makes it even more ridiculous when put him up against BC, he of the craggly face, thin hair and eyeliner and weird voice. Why the [!@#$%^&*] have we been having BC shoved down our throats (Ewww the image) while RN has sat on the sidelines doing nothing. Coulda put him with Blake and those two would have made Frousey, sweaty Reva and Craggy Jeffie look like retreads.

    • He needs to divorce her arse with her constant cheating.   She's no better than Doug... she's F*cking pathetic.
    • I didn't know of any interruptions for Maeve Kinkead after her 1997 return. Her runs would then be 1981-1987, 1989-1996, 1997-2000, short arcs until the end. I knew Maureen Garrett second run was interrupted from a 2009 interview but I couldn't recall the exact year. Her runs would then be 1976-1980, 1988-2000, short arcs until the end.
    • As I said in May, I have no problem with Martin and Bradley being married. You can still do all the fun introloper storylines with them as you do everyone else. Both men of a certain age, and it is very believable for them to have either a first love or have been previously married. And, you can do it without either of them cheating!

       I said something similar during the premiere week. Bill was the perfect age to play Martin as Vernon and Anita's child. I would've much preferred this version, but oh well.
    • I don't know how you want to count Maeve. She "retired" in '00, but would come back for appearances. I don't know however if she made an appearance in '01 or '03. In '02 I believe she came back for Josh and Reva's wedding. I assume she came back when Gina Tognoni took over the role of Dinah. And I know she was back for Ross' memorial service. Maureen Garrett was around until at least '00. I don't think Holly was in town when Ben returned though. I just got pissed off about Jerry all over again.
    • So, pretty sure Zaslow, Garrett, Kinkead, and Newman all chose to leave the first time. (If that's wrong, please correct me). Bernau - not sure why he left the first time. Was it voluntary? Or did they decide to write him out? They were writing so many out during that time period. It always seemed odd to me that they introduced Alex, FINALLY giving him someone he could talk to, and then he was written out. Or maybe that's why they made Alex his sister, so she could take his place as the head of the Spaulding family? Would love more intel on that if anyone knows. Simon - was he replaced by RVV? Or did he voluntarily leave the first time? It seems to me like one of those times TPTB decided to sex up or glamorize a character (and it clearly flopped). If he was fired, interesting he came back. Again, would love if someone could spill the tea. Clarke - I've always assumed he left because of his personal issues, but not sure if that was the case the first time.
    • So Doug just leaves Vanessa there with Joey? He's a f*cking loser. Vanessa needs to divorce his arse 
    • Tina Sloan tied Jerry VerDorn record when Guiding Light was cancelled - 26 years uninterrupted 
    • Very true...but TPTB all were desperate to get into prime time or films and couldn't, so they looked down on their own industry and tried to infuse themes that just didn't work in soaps. I would have thought after 9/11 the shows would have gone out of their way to provide that warmth and comfort that the audience wanted, and to bring old viewers back. Budget cuts? Just bring back kitchen sets, both ATWT and GL got rid of those besides one each..(the Snyders and the Bauers) You don't need super fancy sets if you have the writing. 
    • LMAO they didn't
