Members quartermainefan Posted March 22, 2011 Members Share Posted March 22, 2011 That was really a great year for GH. I loved drug dealing Maxie and addict Lucky. They should have kept Sam as a villain out for revenge. GH wimped out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted March 22, 2011 Members Share Posted March 22, 2011 I agree. Too bad her grief is bound to be rushed, just like the rest of this story. She'll probably be at ShadyBrooke next week, and healed a month from now. It's unfortunate because I think BH could play the grieving mother if given a real chance. I don't really blame GH for not going there, I guess. It's hard to watch someone truly grieve. I always thought the actress who played Cassie on GL (after LW) did a great job of mourning her daughters death. The show gave her a lot of time to do it too. She walked around for months half dead with her guts hanging out, but soap audiences lost their patence for that sort of soap a good 20 years ago or maybe TPTB lost their patience. Who knows.

Members Ryan Chamberlain Posted March 22, 2011 Members Share Posted March 22, 2011 *thumbs up* I felt a little emotion out of Lulu. But, that was it. Sam/Dante/and Nik had no emotion whatsoever. Just these blank stares on their faces. I understand Dante's lack of pain. Since, he's never really had too many scenes or connections to Liz. But, Sam on the other hand should have been at least have been crying. (since she's Jason's girlfriend and her and Liz have been friendly here lately. Plus, she should have felt empathy since she lost Lila.) and Nik is the kid's "uncle" so there should have been something felt by him as well.

Members DRW50 Posted March 22, 2011 Members Share Posted March 22, 2011 JMB is not believable with anyone in her family and I don't even know why they include her. The only time she shows emotion towards them is when she gets to yell at someone. The only "family" I find her believable with is Tracy. I guess with the quick shooting schedule and all the worries over pay cuts, I can see why the actors aren't interested, but I wish it didn't show up onscreen. JFP used to be able to step on that type of thing. It's kind of pathetic when you have moments like Siobhan learning that her great true love's son has been hit by a car and she looks like someone told her Ryan's Hope has been preempted. I do think the writing let Lucky down in regards to his kids - although I'm sure Guza would say this was doing Lucky a favor, since those weren't his biological kids - but JJ presumably chose to do all the weepy stuff non-stop. I think the only time Guza cares about Lucky with the kids is through Jason. It's telling that the very first thing Lucky did was call Jason. As Luke mentioned a year or two ago, those are not Lucky's children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members remos Posted March 22, 2011 Members Share Posted March 22, 2011 I take issue with that one. Perhaps we've been bombarded with the false grief of the world over Princess Di or teenagers in hysterics when someone who's name they might recognize is killed. Adults don't react like that - not those with a stiff upper lip and more than a little reserve in their behaviour. The response of the extended Spencer family was perfect IMO. They didn't need to wail - they're not a wailing family. Jake's parents did, which was appropriate. But all the rest became rather stoic and got about the business of this death. News had to be spread, so Lulu was the designate. The other boys had to be tended to, so Nicholas was the designate. Jake's body had to be tended to, and Patrick took the lead on that. Lucky needed some privacy to deal with his pain, and Siobhan was the person to walk with him through that. All of them responded in character with respect for Lucky's true needs. No one made this about them - which I often see in these "shared anguish" sequences. And the grieving has just begun. Who's to say which one will break down with the privacy of their own partners. This is early days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Antoyne Posted March 22, 2011 Members Share Posted March 22, 2011 It was during the carnival..I think you can find a hilarious video of it on youtbe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AllMyDaysatGH Posted March 22, 2011 Members Share Posted March 22, 2011 UGH! Carly couldn't wait to go and seek out Jason and ask him about that kidney transplant the minute she found out it was possible. To me today she came across as incredibly selfish & uncaring about anyone but herself and Josslyn...which isn't half bad, but I didn't buy her 1 minute tops remorse over Jake's death one bit. Carly left a very bad taste in my mouth today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted March 22, 2011 Members Share Posted March 22, 2011 I think the better twist would be if they proceed to agree to use Jake's organs but after testing they find that he isnt a match and then Jax and Carly have this cancer storyline to play out for the next few months, instead of this easy quick fix.

Members quartermainefan Posted March 22, 2011 Members Share Posted March 22, 2011 I don't think they needed to throw themselves on the floor wailing, but maybe just a slight opening of the mouth in shock, some sense of bewilderment that a major event just happened in the space of 1 second and Jason giving the bad news. Something that indicated that they were taking in some heavy information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kylie Posted March 22, 2011 Members Share Posted March 22, 2011 I think that was just badly edited. The knew promo has a scene of that same moment from in the room with Lucky and Liz and it looks very real, very natural. That was just a bad choice by the editors I think, cause it looked really awkward from the angle we got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
