GH: April Discussion Thread

[Eric83]

nuMichael sucks.

I wish we would get some scenes of Kiefer's parents alone secretly questioning if their son could have done it. They are just being asses, and treating Kristina unfairly IMO.

Alexis does deserve what she's getting, but they have to question if their son is capable of the beatings.

[Cheap21]

I dont see how they are being unfair to her; he's been rather kind the last few days. He doesnt fault her for what happened. He's focused on Alexis and views Alexis as making her lie to help her defense.

Parents dont like to hear the worse about their children. Keifer was a great student, had lots of friends and had a promising future at Harvard. His parents are lawyers and probably very busy and any signs Keifer might have shown they might have missed it. Kids are good at hiding things. They saw only the good bc they had no reason to ssupect anything especially if Keifer wasnt getting in trouble at school, with the cops and there were no other reports. To see Alexis accuse him of beating up a girl, well that looks like she is destroying his dead son's memory in order to justify her running him over and then fleeing from the scene. Add to the fact that Kristina has lied before, it doesnt look good and he ahs little reason to beleive what they are saying. Its unfortunate but I see exactly where his parents are coming from

[Eric83]

I actually agree with that, but I think because of the fact I don't actually care about Keifer's parents is hindering my view on things. :laugh:

They should have been brought on earlier, because I am having a hard time drawing up sympathy for his parents.

[Cheap21]

I defnietly agree on that. Had they developed them prior to this, I would have felt more sympathy for them as well. I can understand their feelings but I have a hard time caring about them. To be be objective, I do think they are entitled to them even if I have little interst or concern for them as characters

I'm planning to start watching this soap consistently again just havn't stuck with me yet but this thread is interesting to say the least. Since I currently can't stand the other soap I was watching and cannot watch it anymore, my appreciation for GH seems better than the alternative

[Sylph]

This thread got a whole lot better once bellcurve stepped in and we moved from frustrated viewers who hate the soap but can't wait to watch it to something tons better.

[R Sinclair]

Ugh! She is sooo pretending to be Carly. Definitely not an embodiment.

[classicmoment]

I like Laura Wright I really do there are some scenes that I watch her in and I am amused and entertained, but when it comes down to it she is just stillnot my Carly

[JackPeyton]

Tamara will always be my carly.

[Juliajms]

I think I might have had more sympathy, if Warren hadn't given Kristina a detailed account of Keifer's injuries. Just the way he walked into her room and closed the door was creepy. Then showing up at her house and insisting that her version of the story was a lie made him completely unsympathetic to me. If he wants to go off on Alexis that's fine, but harassing a teenage girl makes him an ass.

[classicmoment]

I dunno I havn't been watching consistently but judging by the scenes I've seen on youtube I don't take it that the audience is suppose to sympathize w/Warren, I mean I take it we already have enough visual of the abuse Kristina suffered at the hands of Keifer, I think for now Warren is supposed to be a bit of scoundrel masked behind this father in pain stuff. I think it would be really cool if they could find a way to have him come to a pained realization that his son probably deserved what he got, but that is just not Guza's writing style unless it justified somethign wrong Sonny did

[R Sinclair]

Yeah, I really don't think there's supposed to be sympathy for Warren. I find it rather odd that there is.

[Cat]

Seeing Snarly McSmugerson raising a glass to her own wonderfulness with Jaysus and Scummy in tow makes me root for Claire Walsh SO much more. Especially after Sonny did his He-Man Victory Dance around her. Go get 'em, Claire!

[Cheap21]

NuMichael's voice was a lot deeper and masculine than I expected. I expected him to sound more like a teeny bopper. His hair is terrible and needs to be cut. He looks ridiuclous with all that hair, especially trying to be tough

I also didnt like how Dante manipulated and used Morgan. With that he lied and showed that he is just like all the other crooked cops and I felt bad for the little boy bc he really looks up to him and trust him

that was the first time he saw her following her accusations and his son's death. He's been kinder and less harsh in his interactions with her since. I thought he was genuine with the way he talked to her at the house. Obviously he wants her to change her story bc he does feel she is lying to protect her mother but I dont think he wants to hurt Kristina or make her pay. Its all about Alexis at this point

[Juliajms]

I didn't at all. I thought he was being purposefully manipulative. Why the hell would he give her Keifer's journal otherwise? She's the unworthy daughter of a mobster and a liar according to him. Plus the lies he was telling in an effort to get her to agree by talking over her objections. Kristina never called Keifer to come help her. Warren knew that was BS when he said it. From my viewpoint he's been trying to intimidate her at every turn.
