GH: January Discussion Thread

[DRW50]

I kind of wish they'd just take a risk and dump Lucky and Nik (Jason isn't going anywhere, obviously). JJ is out of place and the relationship with Siobhan is made up as it goes along, and Nik is dead weight.

[JackPeyton]

I so agree.

[Cheap21]

Liz was annoying in the spisode, using her baby yet again to get attention.

Oh and Brenda was annoying as well

[Cyberologist]

I totally agree there its plenty of story to tell with the Elizabeth a character of one of the "three founding characters of the show" Steve Hardy. So I do not support the firing of Rebecca.

However I think they wrote her like crap and have been "for years" but then that's another story of why....Lucky and Shioban got the golden pen while fans of Elizabeth and Lucky who waited ten years got crapped on...Elizabeth is purposely being written annoying IMO. She was never like this and it is spoiled we will see her as we never have before I guess this is part of more of them destroying her character before she leaves this spring.

Nik is useless and St. Lucky is well stroked by Guza's pimp hand...I find them really trying hard to make SLUSH fly the writing is 'for them to work" which can be done with 'any' character IMO as a decades old soap watcher....story is everything if you want something to work ... at least write it to (that certainly helps it along). I just don't get the cries of attaching characters as legacy/core families when I see characters who have been attached being destroyed and not written for.

I don't get the writing for Brenda and many of her fans don't either since I didn't watch her original run I'm not that familiar with the character. As for Sam and Jason Frons' IT couple they being written to be liked it ain't hard for me to see the couples they are marketing to fly and they have gotten Frons' blessing.

In my fan fiction as an Elizabeth Webber fan I wish unfortunately it couldn't be this good for me but I do as a Rebecca Herbst fan from day 1 wish her to go elsewhere Frons said straight up in 2002 he did not see the appeal of Elizabeth Webber and she's had that big strike against her from jump. Rebecca will never catch a break on Fronaco Hospital...I'm surprised she lasted this long.

Watching Liz actually hurts now....Especially knowin what's to come

Lulu got the line of the day when she told Brenda with disgust she's so pathetically needy. Truer words were never spoken.

Knowing what we know about Rebecca, the writing for Liz supports it. Today she was a sanctimonious manipulator using their kid to meddle in Nicholas' relationship. Before Nik would have jumped through hoops to spend time with her and Aidan. He looked less than trilled when she suggested he tucked Aidan in and even acknowledged that she's using Aidan to meddle. I'm pretty sure they're going to ruin her before she leaves.

[Cheap21]

I had to agree with Brook when she said she found Elizabeth to be repulsive bc she is. Im glad Nikolas sees her for the needy manipulator that she is. She's so transparent

I also agree with you on the Lulu line. That was a good one

"You are so unbeleivably needy, I have better things to do right now than talk to you"

[Money]

What amazes me about Brenda is that she's so passive aggressive she's almost patronizing. I get that she wants to make it right for Dante but the last thing Lulu wants to do is speak to her, let alone have a conversation with her. And even after she tells Brenda this, Brenda agrees with her but continues to tell her not to punish Dante since he was just trying to protect her, painting herself a martyr in the process. She was so exasperating in that conversation and Lulu had every right to be frustrated. If I was Lulu I would have snatched her bald. I cannot stand Brenda's neediness. Although it has toned down some but "Brenda and her men" have eaten the show and her need to be protected by all the erect penises in her godly presence has completely neutered her character. I don't remember her EVAH being this pathetic before since she's so damn fragile - yet not to fragile to cackle inappropriately.

I feel IR may be the next to go. His airtime has dwindled and he's been a non factor recently.

[Cyberologist]

Him or Tyler who hasn't gotten very much other than triangles.

She's been written pretty awful for a # of years I don't expect for it to stop now

they are giving her the AJ treatment I havent seen her scenes yet in awhile because

I'm just doing clips I'll try to watch somewhere down the road but I think this is

what they are going for and have been for a very long time....they want her diminished

this is how GH does its vets always have.

[AllMyDaysatGH]

GH is writing Liz & Nik so out of character lately. These two have known each other for years & have been friends, lovers, pretty much everything and yet they are writing them like two people who have minimal trust or love with each other. Both of them do not seem like their real selves, Nik is the most disappointing because he just lets Brook Lynn bash Liz all she wants in front of her face or behind her back. He barely knows Brook but has known Liz forever, just doesn't seem right to me at all. Nik has always had Liz's back until now all of a sudden. And Liz's actions lately are just self explanatory! Both of them have turned into little robot pod drones.

WTH is wrong with Lucky? Why is he siding with Dante instead of Lulu? He needs remove his lips out of Dante's ass and support Lulu! I think one of the most admirable things about Luke is his loyalty to the people he cares about whether they are right or wrong. Neither Lulu or Lucky seem to have inherited that trait.

The best & only good part about Brenda is the planning of her wedding. LOL I love the wedding planner & how annoyed Brenda is with her. If Brenda had some real coffee inside of that cup she was drinking out of the scenes would have been better. To me VMG most of the time these days just doesn't put much energy into her deliverance!

lol at Molly. This story isn't turning out to be what I was hoping..

I love Patrick's jealousy over Robin & Dr. Jackson. Lol at Lisa! I love whenever the camera cuts to her and she puts that satisfying grin on her face whenever her plan is working out.

[R Sinclair]

I agree. It's oddly written.

Eh, who cares? Lulu got what she wanted. She was waiting for this. Looking for it. Hoping it would happen... and now it has. She got what she wanted so move the hell on and be asexual with someone else.

Brender planning her "wadding" is just useless filler. We all know this "wadding" isn't even going to happen so I don't even know why they're bothering.

You have to admit you had pretty high hopes based on her throwing a pencil across the room.

Give her a mustache to twirl, and BB's PHENOMENAL portrayal of this USELESS CARTOON VILLAIN will be complete.

[Mr. Vixen]

I am really liking this Molly story. The only time I think MB steps up is when he's talking about Bipolar. I like Haley Pullos and MB together. Oddly, I find Haley to be MB's best screen partner.

[R Sinclair]

Oh, god! Another actor for MB to "mentor."

Can someone, please, tell me who made this mumbling, stammering, can't-remember-more-than-one-line-of-dialogue-at-a-time soap actor playing a blatant Corleone ripoff the God of Acting?

[Mr. Vixen]

Oh no, I think MB is a horrible actor. Absolutely horrible. Like I said, the ONLY time I think he's good is when he is working with Haley Pullos.

The teeth and head rolls are back.
