GH: January 2010 Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

Patrick is totally molded into Robin's image. His name might as well be Rob. Just pick a topic they have discussed or argued about, and think back to what Patrick's original opinion was, and what his opinion is now. It is now Robin's opinion. Whatever the subject, the show wrote it that growth and maturity = whatever Robin says it is. He ridicules her drug therapy only so he can eventually see the error of his ways and wind up with "Robin was right, I was wrong, Robin is wonderful." I can't think of a single thing where she has budged from her original position or the show wrote her original position as somehow needing to be changed. It's all very contrived. Robin totally has the upper hand, from the marriage, baby, house, and the whole Waltons family that she wanted from the moment she returned but he never wanted. She picks the furniture, has a say on his friends, and even his interests (watching football on TV for example) are only shown so we can see Robin's reaction to it.

Jonathan Jackson is just so darkly compelling right now. That sort of "creeper" vibe he gives as he mind-f*cks Nicholas and Elizabeth is amazing. He reminds me so much of Stuart Damon's Alan Quartermaine, back in the early 80s, when Alan was engineering ways to kill Monica and Rick (collapsing roof, explosion at the docks).

Whether it's the writing for the character, or the actor, or both, there is not denying that this Lucky is a much richer character than we have seen for years.

Lulu is in love with Dante. He is lucky that he is Sonny's son and a pet or he would be doomed.

Patrick and Lisa won't stop with their cheesy memories and self-congratulatory comments. I wish he would hook up with Lisa and call it a day. They deserve each other.

Well if Guza sticks to already established GH continuity (and yes I know what you're all about to say here but just humor me for a moment) then Maya would be the daughter of Justus' sister Faith (who appeared briefly for either Edward's trial for killing Bradley or Mary Mae's funeral I forget which) or his other sister who apparently was not named onscreen.

OMG, the Jason and Sam scene was painful. Its like he was interacting with a mirror. He said something to her and she repeated the same thing back to him, just worded differently. And in between that, she's telling him how great and right he is. This was their convo on Tuesday

Sam: How'd it go with Sonny?

Jason: He's handling things himself.

Sam: And how do you feel about that?

Jason: Well, I can tell you right now, it's only going to make things worse for Michael. Sonny wants to frame Franco for Claudia's murder. He's going to get a statement from Ronnie that when Franco came in, he admitted to killing her when he went to visit Ronnie in the hospital.

Sam: Okay, well, Franco did have Claudia's body, so it's plausible. I mean, you would just have to get an attorney to create reasonable doubt.

Jason: Yeah, except Franco knows that Michael killed Claudia. And the minute Franco realizes that he's being set up, he's going to release the photos of Michael to the cops.

Sam: Yeah, of course, and then Michael will be charged with murder. Well, you've got to talk to Sonny, Jason. He can't go through with this.

Jason: Well, not when Sonny's convinced that Franco has made me lose all objectivity and that my decisions can't be trusted right now.

Jason: I made a lot of mistakes since the night Claudia died. But I'm not wrong about Franco.

Sam: Well, the last thing you want to do is underestimate a freak like Franco.

Jason: He's not going to take the fall for a killing he didn't do. He'll release those photos, and Michael will be charged with Claudia's murder. [sighs] And that's how I protected Michael. That's how I took care of him.

Sam: Hey. You can't take the blame for this, Jason. Listen to me. Everything you did was out of love for Michael, right or wrong. And it just proves how much you love him, and... and how deeply you love. And it's why I will never stop believing in you.

Sam and Jason are why I can't take thel argument that Patrick is Robin's mold image seriously. Sam has lost her personality with Jason. Her job is to fluff Jason in every scene. She agrees with everything he says and never has a different opinion.

    • I feel like the lawsuit storyline was resolved quickly because the show didn’t want to spring for more sets.
    • It's been a while, but we have seen the foyer to Bill and Hayley's house as well as the exterior entrance to their house. The foyer was first seen in the premiere episode when Hayley met Vanessa at the house.
    • There's still a year or two before Larkin arrives. Joel is there already. EON does noticeably youthify, although I think they carry it off. Admittedly I haven't seen most of the Jodie stories, which from what people here have said aren't great.
    • I don't mind the actor who plays Brian. He's fine. The problem for me is that Paige seems so wishy wishy. She doesn't seem to have much of a personality at this point so I don't see why Brian would be so besotted with her. She just lurches from one trauma to the next. Granted, it's only been a month, but she's not as vibrant as April or even Deborah who has had minimal screen time by this point.  I do worry about the influence of GH on the show since I'm in fall of 1979 and characters have conversations and there's not the drive to "youthify" the show. However, I think Marceau (sp?) is gone. He was given a rather tame sendoff. How long was the actor on the show? I hope this is not a sign of things to come. I worry the show is setting up a murder mystery around one of my favorite characters and I will be mightily annoyed. I also noticed in recent Search for Tomorrow episodes uploaded to YT that the actors playing Logan and Eliot showed up. I don't watch the show but they were in the screencaps. When does Larkin Malloy show up or has he already left? Joel Crothers hasn't shown up either unless I've blinked and missed him.
    • Dr Linden. She treated Vanessa's drug addiction (although Vanessa seemed to forget that by Henry's suicide attempt) , and she's mentioned during Reva's PPD. Although I can't recall if she's actually shown right off the top of my head. She probably was temporarily shelved when Sonni was a therapist (between her crazy times) And I think Billy sees her after he falls off the wagon after Reva's death.
    • Kinda agree. I have some issues with the sets. Nicole's living room is bland-looks like a display home. Bill and Hayley's is too small and basically hideous. And neither of them have a front door/entrance or staircase. People just appear from the corridor. Those green accents  at Uptown are way too much. Also,Naomi and Vanessa not having an office or a home .
    • Thanks @Paul Raven  That Grainger story always reads like hog-wild melodrama, not very similar to the more subtle stories for Rita in her last few years. I wonder how Lenore played the material.
    • More from 1976 Lynn, apparently making every effort to overcome her alcoholism, accepts a baby-sitting job. However, when the baby starts crying, Lynn begins to get nervous and takes one drink, then another. By the time Bruce and Van arrive home, Lynn is on the floor, ineffectually trying to find the doctor’s number, sure the baby is ill. When the mother arrives; she vows to let everyone know what goes on in the mayor’s house.Bruce insists that Lynn has to go, but Van, learning that Lynn can’t remember drinking the cooking sherry, calls Joe to report Lynn’s blackouts. Joe wants her institutionalized but gives in to Van’ s pleas that Lynn needs loving attention. Eddie has sent some of Felicia’s work to a New |York gallery owner and reports to Charles that Lisa Cooper wants to exhibit Felicia’s work. Charles refuses to tell her this and later admits he feels he has “cowed”her attention because of his being confined to a wheelchair. What Charles doesn’t say is: that he’s plagued with fears she’ll leave him for another man. Felicia is exuberant as she starts painting again. She tells Charles how she feels about it, but, jealous of anyone or anything that takes attention from him, Charles tries to undermine her confidence. Eddie finally professes his love for her. He will be happy to step forward if she will only let Be and admit that they belong together. Charles tries to stop Felicia’s ‘trip to New York by making her doubt her own work, and when that fails, he finds business reasons at his bookshop to keep Di, his ex-wife, who is running it for him, from accompanying her. Felicia finally decides it’s not going to work and tells Eddie they might as well call it off. Instead, he arranges for Lisa Cooper to come to Rosehill. Charles is rude and insulting to Lisa when she arrives at the house to view Felicia’s work, and his derogatory remarks about shady gallery dealings prompt Lisa to tell Eddie that living in such an atmosphere could permanently stunt an artist’s development; if Felicia is subjected to this indefinitely, it’s not even worth Lisa’s while to take her on as a client. Felicia finally decides she can’t be torn apart any longer and must accede to Charles’s demands. She tells Eddie her career is over and she won’t paint any more, breaks down in his arms, crying bitterly, then pulls away, unwilling to acknowledge that her feelings for him are deeper than she dare face. Charles is delighted when she prepares to dispose of her art supplies, insisting everything will be fine once she has accepted that this part of her life is over. But she cannot do it. She promises him that he can set the limits and terms, but she must paint. Arlene discovers that her mother is planning to avoid the surgery she needs, and the accompanying medical bills, by leaving Rosehill and moving in with her sister Dorothy out west. Arlene manages to prevent this by calling her aunt and telling her the truth about Carrie’s condition. Dr. Tom Crawford has been footing the costs of Carrie’s presurgery tests, but Arlene knows that Carrie won’t like this. So she tells Carrie that David Hart, the son of Meg’s late husband, the former mayor, has heard about their plight and forwarded the money as a gesture of friendship, to be repaid when possible. To convince Carrie that she does indeed have the money, Arlene asks Ray to just lend it to her for a few hours, so she can convince Carrie and then immediately return it. Ray instructs her to get dressed for a night on the town and takes her, out implying that the money will be waiting at the end of the evening. When Ian Russell happens to join them, Arlene doesn’t suspect anything is afoot, but when e Ray suddenly leaves, she becomes furious, realizing what he’s done. But she finds Mr: Russell a distinguished and cultured man, and decides there’s no harm in having a drink. After cocktails and stimulating conversation, Ian suggests that they go to his place, and Arlene agrees. But when they get there, Ian matter of factly suggests that they skip the preliminaries and get on with it. Ian is embarrassed and annoyed to discover that Arlene is not a professional call girl and that Ray didn’t explain to her the purpose of their |meeting. He is apologetic and solicitous, until Arlene, explaining why Ray felt he could pull this on her, mentions her sick mother in need of an operation. Ian starts to laugh at this overworked standard line, and a livid Arlene storms out of his apartment. Thinking it over, Ian decides he’s more intrigued with Arlene than he is annoyed at Ray, and calls Ray for her telephone number. But Arlene is not delighted to hear from him, and he has to use a good deal of soothing charm before she agrees to have dinner with him at one of the better local restaurants.During dinner Ian again apologizes for his mistake, and he gives Arlene a diamond pendant as a token of his gratitude for her forgiving him. Ray arrives to interrupt an otherwise enjoyable evening with a business matter, and quietly reminds Arlene that Ian is his customer and she’s not to cut herself in with him. At home, Arlene examines the pendant and is convinced that it’s genuine. She hides it in her dresser drawer, unable to bring herself to show it to her mother.
    • LOL!! That's funny.  I actually thought he got a little better.
