Characters who have too many children

It's even worse for Liz, IMO, because:

1 - She's a nurse and should be able to better protect herself. Shame on the writers for making her so careless with something like that.

2 - She works with Robin, her friend, and knowing someone who contracted HIV should make her more careful.

3 - She passed off both of her children as someone else's after finding out she was pregnant (although I seem to recall that Ric did know that Cam wasn't his but wanted to help Liz. Is that how it happened?)

As an Elizabeth Webber fan I don't see it as worse for her and I don't get what her having been a nurse or being around Robin has to do with a "defective condom" that Jason used from his family business (Endura) so IMO she did "protect herself" in that the protection was faulty but whatever floats your boat which was a hilarious Q storyline LuLu got pregnant by Dillon and when she discussed w/her the look on Elizabeth face like "oh itsky"

she hot-footed it PH2 to check the trash (Jason busted her) to see what condom "he" used

...it was one of their funniest scenes. However I do agree with point three in that GuZa who hacks history has never been creative or used Elizabeth Webber a core family member from one of the founding characters of the show, she's rarely been written with a positive focus by him....she isn't a pet so we take what crumbs Frons throws our way...

I loved that storyline but they gave it the Qs bum's rush...it was funny as hell. They were getting sued by all these women getting knocked up...that is one storyline that should have been dragged out but of course anything Quartermaine is short and sweet.

IMO Sonny's brood is far worse since he is a mob chieftain, she doesn't kill people for a living

Rebecca Herbst was pregnant in real life so the pregnancy of Cameron was written in

Zander was just there to accommodate it that's all... Carly who is a walking contradiction re: her brood of 3 children by three different men who will not devoid them of the violence by making a hitman her daughter's godfather, Alexis two children with (brothers)

point being they all have kids by gangsters. I lived in Europe during Ric/Elizabeth's run so my memories are sketchy but they always wrote her men who wanted to step up to play daddy to her babies so she is good to go.

I always felt as if GL and ATWT had kids just to have kids. Most shows have kids to advance plots or for story purposes but those 2 shows seemed to have alot of children for no reason. Its probably bc the actresses have gotten pregnant alot and the show tended to write most of them in instead of hiding them. I havent watched those shows regularly but is that a fair assesment?

    • 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
