GH: April Discussion Thread

[Cheap21]

I would hope they have something for her but if they are holding it back till later, why bring her back now. Why not wait till they were ready to start her story before getting her to return. I wonder if she's back simply bc she's a FoJ, and called up bc she needed some money

[R Sinclair]

Aww... You'll get over it.

I loved Tams ESPECIALLY when they got their act together and put her in scenes with Ted King. But I also loved Sarah Brown.

The problem with Laura Wright's portrayal is that there is no subtlety or vulnerability. She is in Kick-AssTakeNoPrisoners mode all the time, and it just comes across as her being a smug and bullying beauty queen.

[JackPeyton]

I like it tho, i mean... its how carly is written. There is nothing subtle about her and there shouldnt be.

Plus, shes pretty. And thats goes a long way.

[R Sinclair]

You've hit the nail on the head as to what I mean about LW pretending to be Carly.

I mean, really. Carly? A streetfighter? Carly isn't a "streetfighter" by any means. It's just that's the way the character is being written now due to LW's limitations in portraying the role. All because Carly's ghetto, doesn't make her gangsta.

At least Carly's original foundation was that she felt as if she was inferior and always on the outside looking in. She felt unwanted and felt she had to fight to be taken seriously and respected. This LW characterization is the total opposite. I simply don't see the inner struggle at trying to prove, to herself more than anyone else, that she's better than what people think of her.

Helena on Liz:

"You are a narcisstic slut. Greedy, needy of men's attentions, so manipulative from your wide staring eyes down to the tips of your rosey little toes. Now this pregnancy is really an inconvenience to you but you'll turn it to your advantage by playing on the sympathies of Nikolas and Lucky"

Helena

I can't wait to see that tonight.

[dragonflies]

Helena cracks me up when she says stuff like that

[R Sinclair]

I begrudgingly writer-LOVE Elizabeth Korte. She may be Jason-worshiping, Mob-loving, but she makes sure that no matter who is writing the script, the characters' voices are distinct.

[Cheap21]

lol..yes. No one can say that crap and pull it off quite like Helena does but her dialogue is always on point. She had some classic lines last week with Alexis and she's at her best when talking to people she doesnt like.

[Mr. Vixen]

I nearly died when she was talking about Keifer:

"I saw pictures of him online. Good looking young boy...Tell me, did he have that same vapid expression as he went sailing over your windshield?"

[R Sinclair]

Oh, please! By the time she got to "sailing over your windshield" I was already cracking up. I knew where she was headed!

One of my favorite Helena/Alexis exchanges was YEARS ago when Alexis came up behind Helena, telling her that she'll never get away with whatever it was she was plotting. Helena, looking as if she's following a buzzing gnat, turns around and claps in Alexis' face. "Oh! Alexis, it's you!"

[Mr. Vixen]

I was cracking up then too. I was laughing throughout her entire dialogue, but when she got to "sailing over your windsheild" i had tears rolling down my face and I actually had to pause the show because I couldn't hear over my own laughter, no joke LOL.
