GH: September Discussion


Recommended Posts

I am sure that Sam apologized again after Jason rescued her from the pit late last year.

The only kind of apology I have ever heard from Jason was when he told Robin TWICE that she had been right about not putting Michael in the mob world because it was dangerous. It was shocking.

Writing e a "sorry I threatened to kill you" apology for Jason would probably be too problematic for him. I don't even see how that would work because it wasn't like some sort of heat of the moment slip of the tongue. He specifically set out to threaten her for hiring those "thugs" to scare Elizabeth while she was in the park with her kids and also for the game she was playing with Elizabeth when she was manipulating Lucky. All that might do is remind viewers who may have forgotten about it how even more ridiculous the writing has gotten.

Up until now (unless I'm forgetting something), Jason has been written as this character who completely severs romantic relationships once there is betrayal without looking back. If nothing else, they've been consistent with the characterization of Jason.

As far as Elizabeth goes, they don't seem to know what to do with the character. She started out as a bad girl then they made her into a heroine of sorts. Now it just looks as if they want to hang on to the supporting character (or maybe it's more about keeping RH around) but they don't want to write anything decent for her.

No, I agree Liz is a slut. And a bitch who needs a backup guy. So she will use Lucky in Niz just as she did with Jiz to raise her kids while she always looks for something better.

Just too bad that this time, Lucky will not only be screwed over by the slut who lies about loving him, but by his pig of a brother, too. I give Lucky a free pass to go postal and kill 'em all.

It's funny how skewed online is. The offliners I know don't find this Nik and Liz lustfest at all soapy and want Rebecca to kick Liz's arse, so GH seems to be succeeding in building support for that character, especially when they throw everything but the kitchen sink to make poor Liz and Nikolas look like the poor poor victims. Liz is such a martyr it's nauseating and I am sick of the heavy handed writing her and Nikolas's character both get. I don't find that makes Liz one bit interesting. Why would I when I know what end result will be, Liz suffers nothing at the end of the day. Maybe on a soap with no predetermine winners it could be interesting and soapy. Or maybe if I didn't just see this same story for Liz for the past 2 years it could be also. It's the same crap that made me the biggest Sam fan 2 years ago. I hope this backfires just like Jason and Liz did when Lucky and Sam became the surprise hit. Funny one woman at work said "How could Nikolas do this to Emily, it's disgusting" - nothing about Lucky sad to say. The more and more NL's Rebecca becomes like Emily(and she's there now except fot the brown hair which is coming), the more the audience is going to hate Nik for this and Liz for Lucky.

ITA. Online and offline fans rarely have similar opinions about the most controversial stories. I think this is one of the reasons that TPTB ignore the opinions of vocal, but small online soap fans. One area I bet online and offline fans agree is that NL has stop pretending to play a different character and is now playing Emily.

Watching Nikolas and Liz last week, I realized that I simply do not care what they do. I only cared about how it effected Lucky who will likely end up with nothing or stuck with Liz again. Rebecca will be fine. She will end up being Emily and end up back with Nikolas who pay absolutely no price for betraying Lucky. On a positive note, this story is getting GV is getting some airtime which is good.

Onliners give themselves such a level of self importance it cracks me up. I'd think based on online that Spixie is the least popular pairing ever on GH and Spinelli is not liked at all. I may dislike them with a passion, but I have no doubt they are popular. And BH has always had a vocal online fanbase. You'd think she was the second coming of Susan Lucci the way some talk.

Greg I am happy he's getting airtime but I really loathe how they write the character. But yeah at least he's getting airtime.

And this show has succeeded in making me now hate Liz to epic proportions. Nikolas, always hated him, this just reinforced how much more awful than Sonny he's always been. Pathetic loser.

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • Andrew sure has hard nips.
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
    • Okay, why are Paulina and Abe sleeping like that?!  I'd take a screen grab if I wasn't lazy, but come on.
