Members Antoyne Posted March 15, 2011 Members Share Posted March 15, 2011 Why does GH like this character so much... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ann_SS Posted March 15, 2011 Members Share Posted March 15, 2011 Good question, Antoyne. It is a true mystery. The book will likely earn ABC a tidy sum though. ATWT's book sold well and made number 1 on the NY Times Best Sellers' list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SFK Posted March 15, 2011 Members Share Posted March 15, 2011 I have never understood the appeal of this character. I tune into GH every once in a blue moon and every time he pops up it's like he's saying whatever he said the last time I saw him, I think his dialogue/vocal pattern is so annoying.

Members DRW50 Posted March 15, 2011 Members Share Posted March 15, 2011 The main appeal is as old as the hills - the guy who doesn't need looks to show how wonderful he is, he's supposed to be loving and sweet and the babe slowly begins to see his potential, and so on. He also worships Jason, which is something Guza approves of. In many ways he is Guza's avatar. The problem is Spinelli is actually a cruel, nasty, self-righteous, passive-aggressive little toad who almost got Maxie killed to try to "rescue" her, and was happy to participate in Dante's death (which he felt no remorse for) and in Carly's schemes against Dante (no remorse). He also helped to ruin any potential Maxie had as a character after they had finally started to write better for her. She became all about him, being degraded, and now she is essentially just a plot point while the show waits to see whether Bradford Anderson is staying. The "Spixie" relationship is vile codependency and cruelty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ER Tosh Posted March 15, 2011 Members Share Posted March 15, 2011 I used to like Spinelli but overtime it has been clear that he is a man-child jerk that does not give a damm about anyone but the two or so people that he worships at the time. He should pay for his part in trying to frame Dante (His 'good friend" Lulu's boyfriend no less). I would love if we had a Spinelli that could have a nice friendship with someone like Sam without always talking about himself or propping Brenda to her face but that does not see to be the kind of Spin that Guza wants. .

Members beebs Posted March 16, 2011 Members Share Posted March 16, 2011 and yet more appealing than watching a scene with Spinelli in it haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members remos Posted March 17, 2011 Members Share Posted March 17, 2011 LOL…. I think it's cute. Diane and Spinelli are two of my favourites, and I bought the Pandora series for my daughter so I know CH can write. There's also been spoiled that LuNacy is mentioned, so all in all I'm looking forward to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted March 17, 2011 Members Share Posted March 17, 2011 i love spinelli, and i love soap based books... this looks awful though, and i can not wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members remos Posted March 17, 2011 Members Share Posted March 17, 2011 ^^ that's half the fun, JP. We don't watch soaps for high art (regardless of what James Franco likes to tell himself about his own performances). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
