Members soapfan770 Posted September 3, 2009 Members Share Posted September 3, 2009 It's weird I find the show mostly unwatchable just as I have now for the past three years yet I feel so sad after watching each episode. It's like counting down the days of a dying loved one who's been sick for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted September 3, 2009 Members Share Posted September 3, 2009 They would have had to recast Harley, as supposedly ABC is not letting anyone on their soaps who used to be on GL make an appearance. I agree with most of what you're saying but I do think Holly got a few good scenes in her episode, and Ed had a very good scene with Blake. That's about all I can praise though, besides the Billy/Vanessa stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members UKBoi Posted September 3, 2009 Author Members Share Posted September 3, 2009 Just watched the episodes of September 1st and 2nd, and...um...they totally fell flat for me. The highlight was everything surrounding the Billy/Vanessa relationship...they were nice, low key family scenes that worked. Were they making me anticipate what was to come next or geniunely dread this show ending? Not so much... Philip going round and telling everyone he was dying was pretty unwatchable, if I'm being honest. The acting was top notch, but I just didnt buy the dialogue. And Alex in that Mini Mart with a big gulp? Please...that just wouldnt happen. And whatever that crap was with Marina and the baby and Shayne, I dont know, it was so boring it barely registered. See also...whatever the hell was going on with Jonathan, Jeffrey (who BTW, looks much better with the short hair and no beard) and Edmund. I did, however, get a good laugh out of how badly they hid Marcy Rylan's pregnancy. That enormous handbag, tight shots on the (chubbier than usual) face...LOL... Still, I think I'm going to keep watching this until the end. I wonder if the ratings will go up in these final weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MichaelGL Posted September 3, 2009 Members Share Posted September 3, 2009 Alan stated that he saw the Mini-mart as an escape from the mansion. I don't know what to think about that. Since Spaulding and Lewis are one major company now, it rules out him retreating to his office in times like these(his dislike of the Lewis clan), however any place in Springfield would have been better as "Alan's place of solitude" than some mini-mart. C'mon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members crc Posted September 3, 2009 Members Share Posted September 3, 2009 I figure I'd watch the last three weeks of the show ... the show is ... different ... uh, Grant Aleksander and Michael O'Leary ROCK'd it today despite the way this show is put together these days!

Members UKBoi Posted September 3, 2009 Author Members Share Posted September 3, 2009 This would be one of the few times where having a character wander aimlessly around a field or park would actually MAKE SENSE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members P.J. Posted September 3, 2009 Members Share Posted September 3, 2009 Re: Phillip informing his family---I know I should STFU and deal, but I'm annoyed no one's even bothered to mention Justin, Samantha or Alan-Michael being told. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted September 4, 2009 Members Share Posted September 4, 2009 Did they mention Amanda or Elizabeth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dan Posted September 4, 2009 Members Share Posted September 4, 2009 I'm just thrilled at this point that they actually said that Alan wasn't Phillip's biological father. I was sure we wouldn't get even that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MichaelGL Posted September 4, 2009 Members Share Posted September 4, 2009 You know this whole Cyrus is Jenna's son thing could make sense if they tied him to the fiancé Jenna once had before coming to Springfield. I'm watching an episode from the Springfield blackout, and in one of the scenes Jenna describes to Michelle about falling in love with a man who had lost all of his money. Though knowing the current TPTB, they probably had no idea such an scene occurred back them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members P.J. Posted September 4, 2009 Members Share Posted September 4, 2009 No...I don't think Elizabeth has even been a plot point in more than twenty years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members crc Posted September 6, 2009 Members Share Posted September 6, 2009 Just out of curiousity, what the fruck will CBS air in between shows? This just seems so silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DAMfan Posted September 6, 2009 Members Share Posted September 6, 2009 CBS will be showing repeats of "Price is Right" - however doesn't matter to me if not GL - will not watch or record anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
