JaneAusten, where are you? I'm dying to know your view on this version of Robin. She is no moral center. I wonder if Guza thinks that she is unconditionally supporting Sonny?

There was also a bizarre comment about how there had better be condoms in the supply closet because fans don't want an HIV story for Patrick. Yes, I'm sure fans are expecting an HIV story for Patrick, given that, aside from one or two brief moments here and there, GH tries to forget about or downplay Robin's HIV as much as they can. If we're going to criticize a show for lack of condom mention I'd rather criticize the awful Niz hookups, or Y&R, where Billy goes around never, ever putting on a rubber and the show apparently sees this as hot stuff.

Other than Mala and the Serial Drama women, the soap mags sound like they are written by naive white housewives in the 1950s. There is virtually no criticism or demand that the soaps modernize their portrayal of sex, women, and gender relationships. I can't believe that there has been no comment on Billy's promiscuity and the potential consequencs of STDs or Liz's failure to use contraception. Those are all hot topics on all the soap boards where people of all ages post. Instead SOD chooses to criticize Robin and Patrick having sex in the hospital closet when they have the safest sex of all soap couples. No wonder the soap mags are struggling. They have made themselves irrelevant.

That probably peeves me most... Lisa IS right. She didn't grow up in mobland. It appears that she comes from a place where mobsters are <gasp> bad people... so of course, she's a crazy scheming bitch She's pure evil in the writers' eyes. How dare she not want gun-toting mobsters firing bullets in the hospital she works in, endangering the patients she's worked hard to save? How dare she not be in awe of Jason's black leather or Sonny's slicked back hair? how dare she look at them and not want to carry their babies!

Lisa being right doesn't bother me, it just is odd that a glorified day player cuts through the insanity to speak the truth. I have no opinion on Lisa other than she is deadly dull, but the fact that she said what probably everyone on earth would say if Robin were real makes me like her a little more.

Then you come to someone like Alexis, and it is a shame how every few years they destroy her a little more so she can salivate at the opportunity of serving Sonny and Jason. She was yammering on to Jax so about some backwards thinking, I am shocked Jax didn't have her carted off in a straight jacket. This is now back to the 1990s Alexis who ran panting after Jason to tell him how good a father he was and how she would represent him against the big bad AJ. Now she is defending someone she knows is a criminal and guilty. She has been a Sonny worshiper for 10 years now, useless and no reason to exist other than to serve Sonny.

I just wish Monica and Tracy could debate Alexis and Robin about the virtues of Sonny. That would be hilarious.

That's my point. It's not that she's right that peeves me, it's that the writers are only allowing Lisa to be right because she's a throwaway character. No one who should know better does, and then the writers will end up turning Lisa into the scourge of society when she's one of the few sane people in that town.
