GL: August discussion

^^^ 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.

      Is this someone you should be dealing with? I got the drama on lock. Leave it to me. You are my sister. You have loved & protected me every moment I've been in this world. It's my turn to stand up for you.

    • I just watched it, it was decent, looking forward to Martin's secret. Glad to get info on why the children were aged up!
    • !!! I felt the same. Martin secret has always been my favorite storyline.  I happen to Andre's wardrobe but it ages him. They have a grandpa vibe.

      , Facts! I would like to see something like that in Daytime. Both of y'all can back up off my husband! Tomas couldn't shine his shoes.
    • Brandy was an odd mish-mash of a character. A radical during her college days, then a journalist/romance writer, I believe? But not so much of a radical that she had a problem chasing millionaire Alan, LOL. The actress, JoBeth Williams, went on to have a pretty good movie and prime time career.
    • Bill attempts to use Smitty to send a veiled thread to Martin.

      Thought I’d share this video featuring Cathy Carricaburu, now Foxhoven, who played Nancy Becker from 1976-1978.

      She talks a little about her acting career starting around the 6 minute mark and briefly mentions Y&R. I’d be interesting to see some of her work on Y&R since it seems to be her most notable role.
    • I believe Henry Slesar intended that the Paige/Nola plot would play out over three to six months and Paige would be the new younger ingenue; but a few things happened. Sharon Gabet didn't renew her contract and the audience didn't like the Paige/Brian romance as it flirted with incest. Kim Hunter revealed in an interview that she as slated for 3 months but Henry asked her to stay on for an additional period. I watched Edge during this period when it originally aired and Margaret Colin was not great in the role. She seemed very green among the vets as was the dude playing Brian. He was poorly cast which was unusual for Edge.  I think Henry started to get pressure from ABC and P&G to jazz up the show given what was exploding under Monty on GH at the time. I loved Kim as Nola and all the stories it generated for others. Miles and Deborah in particular. But the next who dunnit plot in this period was not one of Henry's best (at least for me the culprit and explanation were lame for Henry). 
    • Bill and the performer are the strongest male character and actor on this show.  Yeah, how I see it too. you pair your best young female with one of the weakest screams sabotage to me.  I like this idea, it doesn't make things too predictable. I would buy that!
