I'm not sure how good Jax would be with Robin or vice versa but I like the idea of them together. It gets Robin away and out of the hospital and Patrick. At this point Jason Thompson no longer interests me. He hasn't in about 2 years so it really doesn't matter to me what they do with him. They haven't killed anyone off in a few years so maybe it's time.

Jax and Carly like the other couples are dull but at least the show throws them a bit of story and angst that's half believable. This Robin/Lisa/Patrick stuff is just stupid and I still don't know why they recast Lisa. This actress IMO is no improvement.

GH killed off Claudia a few months ago. How soon they forget. LOL! I wouldn't mind if they kill off Patrick. Lisa can become obsessed with him and accidentally kill him while trying to kill Robin.

But their story is always about Sonny and Jason and Jax has lost his spine with Carly.

Oh ye of little faith. I am hoping that Patrick is in bed with Lisa and Robin is involved with Steven by May sweeps. A divorce may to be too much to hope for I admit, but I'm in a good mood so I'm going there.

It is Sonny's world and everyone lives in it.

Kiefer is an evil little bastard, but the actor is very good. He should have been Michael.

I don't think Guza hates hospital story lines, I think he just loses interest in them after awhile.

I remember right after Pratt left we suddenly started getting a lot of hospital stories with dayplayers as patients, but then after a month or so they started bringing the focus back on the mob stuff. We still get them occasionally but they never last more than two episodes.

I was feeling so bad for Olivia on Monday. Then today I go back to loathing this Bensonhurst sloth...UGH to her acting like she didn't know how Dante got shot...GMAB. And thumbs down to Dante, for saying he shot himself. Oh, really?! A joke!

If I could have one statement that is always said in soaps tooken out for life, it would be "I did it to protect my.." So annoying!! Shahht up, Jax. Oh, and Michael punched Jax hard!! That was a very intense scene, wish he could have got a few more shots in ;) Carly and Morgan barging in on Bonny and Clyde's lovefest toward's the end, was awesome :].

Mark Teschner better get his well-deserved casting Emmy for hiring these kids. Julie Mond is definitely a WTF casting choice, but this has been a good year for him.

As for "He should have been Michael," I'm glad they cast Drew Garrett. He's very hammy and he yells, but I also feel like he's got the "AJ/Bastard Son" thing down to a T. Not sure if this was the original route Guza planned, but since Dante is now "the chosen one," it will be so interesting to see Michael essentially morph into AJ. Drunken hot mess who [!@#$%^&*] up at every corner.

    • It sure was!  With respect, how does that make sense?  These men are young, I don't see that. 
    • I hope this played better than it sounds, because I'm imagining two separate scenes (the attack by Arnie, and later Charles getting shot). In my mind, it should have been a fluid single sequence. I wonder if or how often "bastard" was uttered in this scene. Fare thee well, Christopher Reeve. I've said it before, but pop culture's gain was daytime's definite loss. Imagine seeing HIM day after day, year after year, decade after decade, conceivably until they stopped producing soaps in NYC.   Well, that answers my "bastard" question. Good lord, the roads of Rosehill are packed with high-strung drivers and/or pedestrians. More sequences that I hope played better than they sound.

    • I think Ben had already left while under Marland and only returned briefly to reconcile with Eve. The whole thing confuses me as I thought for a long time that Eve left the show to go be with him and that was when they reconciled, but it seems like he returned, they got back together, then he left and maybe they were still together until she left to join him? I have no idea.  It does seem like the interim writers were using some characters like Justin and Helena who were quickly dumped under Kobe/Long, which is a shame. Helena is one of those characters who likely always had a shelf life but Rose Alaio was such a vibrant screen presence, if Kobe/Long had just been patient, she likely would have fit in well in the Reva era.
    • Also, the lawsuit story was not the right story to bring Naomi and Bill into a court battle since those types of lawsuits are usually resolved via settlements.
    • I know that Sara did eventually become Carrie's therapist, but I was curious if the show had her make comments regarding Carrie's stunts of making it seem as though Justin was cheating on Jackie.  Given that Justin cheated on Sara with both Jackie and Brandy, I wondered if it was wise of her to counsel Carrie given the conflict of interest involved. @DRW50I think once Adam/Sara end up married.. Marland didn't see any reason to explore Sara's personal life after the actor playing Adam was released.  I know that Sara lasts until at least Christmas 1982 on the show.. but I don't think she ended up staying on for very long into 1983. The period between Marland quitting and Pam Long starting was the perfect time to clean house on characters that had outgrown their usefulness  (i.e. Ben, Evie, Sara, Jennifer, Morgan).. and tying up stories started by Marland that were too complex (Mona Enright, Mark/Jennifer/Amanda triangle).
    • Unpopular opinion:  The focus on the soap opera tropes over the mysteries and crimes was partly what did the show in.  Also, featuring characters not involved in the legal, police, and criminal elements also hurt the show and took away what made it unique. Featuring characters like Jody, Raven, Sky, etc hurt the show long term.  The show ABCified starting in 1976/1977 and then went through a youthification period starting in 1981.  
    • I feel like the lawsuit storyline was resolved quickly because the show didn’t want to spring for more sets.
