I dont know I havent watched the series, but I found it when looking for images for the US show. As tempting as it is, I dont think I'll watch future seasons of the UK show as I dont want to be spoiled by what happens as alot of this stuff makes for some truly great moments in the US one

I do hope Mickey comes out of juvie (both literally and figuratively....LOL)

In the seasons I've seen (4-6), Carl is more of a himbo. Not the brightest bulb in the bunch, but not harmful. The worst thing he's done was abandon a little girl he was watching with a young woman who ended up kidnapping her. At one point, he decides he's going to go into the service, but Frank tricks him out of it. Instead, Carl decides to work as a stripper.

Other than choosing a plot point from here or there, I don't see how the American show can follow the British show much longer. Fiona and Steve were written out at the end of season two in the UK and the show briefly focuses on Veronica's brother and mother alongside the Gallaghers before replacing them with the Maguires (the Milkovitchs in the American version). Also, the British version put a much stronger emphasis on the police force contigent. I thought the American version was going to do that when they hired Russell Hornsby to be Tony's partner, but the show decided to go in a different direction. The current UK series is much different from US version.

"Get your ass up you goddamn pony tailed Fabio motherf*cker!" LMAO! SO glad to have this show back. Pretty good season 3 premiere.

The Frank stuff in Mexico wasn't half bad. The show took some REALLY bold moves. They pretty much tackled every stereotype w/that one...LOL. I give them credit for going all out w/that and taking risks.

I found the Jimmy/Estafania stuff preposterous. We'll see how it goes but so far I'm not liking it. Jimmy is a total loser.

As an editor, I continue to cringe at some of the decisions made w/this shows sequences. The scene where Estefania's dad shot her man drove me nuts. On each cut, you could see the guy lifting up his arm to shoot the same way like it was on repeat or something...it was so distracting to me.

Also was it just me who noticed that when it cut to the guy getting shot in the forehead, the actor already had the bloody bullet wound on his forehead...before he was even shot?!

Kev and Veronica's new pay per view webcam show is fun. OMG, this show just has no boundaries. I love it.

Lip participating in rumble robot competitions now?? -___- Kinda lame...I see nothings changed w/him.

I also see that the Mandy character is as useless as ever.

Ian's still sleeping w/his older sugar daddy. Can't wait for Jimmy to find out Ian's been sleeping with his dad! LOL.

Not sure if I like Fiona breaking character to manage a night at the club but we'll see how it goes

tumblr_mglv3cJg4o1rlb6iho1_400.gif

Well f--k you guys too!

Kevin's new body...damn! Guy was fat last season and now he has abs. Besides what happened to his leg?

Ugh to Sheila still being with that freak. I wish we were done with him.

Debbie running through the house yelling for her daddy. Girl, he's a sperm downer, not your daddy! I cant beelvie she's so hung up on Frank bc she is so sensible and knows he is BS

Why does Steve's father law want the wife's bf dead? I cant remember. Chopping up the body was so bizarre and the girl was right there watching

Fiona's job? NASTY! I couldnt do that ish. She should be thankful she was let go

I cant stand Frank. He's such a PoS. He is in all these comedic hijinks and we are supposed to laugh at him but I dont find him amusing.

Not only is Ian still sleeping with Steve's dad, the old man is tutoring with his math homework....I cant! Kinda twisted, but if the cards were to line up perfectly for everyone, Ian could be Fiona's father in law

Yeah dude got buff. He had to shapen up for the web cam scenes! LOL

It's looking like she's getting annoyed w/him and realizing how useless he is as a houseguest! I found him really funny in his earlier shows but he got old FAST. I still can't believe him & Sheila had sex...

I think because Estefania smuggled that guy into the states with her. I don't think the dad even really knew who that guy was, he just killed him because he could ruin the plans to keep Estefania in the US.

Agreed about Frank. His schtick is so played out It's not even funny...they do the same thing with him EVERY. TIME.

The Ian stuff is the juiciest part about the show for me, can't wait til Mickey gets back....lol

The latest ep was quite mindblowing. My mouth dropped more than once. First off, seriously WTF at Frank giving the baby Valium to make it stop crying. WOW! For a second did anyone else think the baby was dead?

"I don't remember Karen causing such a fuss as you Jaime, maybe it's from your Chinese side" laugh.png OMG @ the baby literally almost getting thrown into the trash. Unbelievable!


That bartender girl said it best. I don't think Frank has had a lower moment than he had in this episode. I couldn't believe he called CPS on the kids. [!@#$%].

I really, really hope that Mickey ends up giving Ian "the look" at some point. Good story so far. LOL @ Ian f'ing w/that Asian guy at school. "Pound me like an Iraqi soldier" laugh.png

My heart broke so much for Debbie when Frank broke her log cabin project. That was a powerful scene. This show really knows how to execute moments like that. Breathtaking.

Words can't describe how much I can't stand what the show has done to the Mandy character. She's disgusting and the Actress SUCKS, bad.

That was a devastating moment with Fiona having to give all the money she racked up away.

Kev has a wife? rolleyes.gif Not really a fan of that twist. I really could've done without another obstacle like that thrown at him & Veronica.

Steve/Jimmy's story is such a fail. I would've preferred they explore his relationship with his parents more and have that lead up to him finding out his dad's been f'ing with Ian!

In is turning into quite the little slut. I couldnt beleive he was having sex with a fellow army guy right there in public! He has no shame. So he's sleeping with him, Jimmy's father and the recently returned Micky. I hope he's wearing a condom

Wow didnt expect to see Debbie go off on Frank especially considering she was his biggest supporter

Kevin has a wife? Wow

Cheryl to Kev: "You could've had this and you want that? She's some kind of nympho, has three drawers full of dildos"

Veronica: "What you doin going through my sh!t, bitch?"

Debbie: "What's a dildo?"

LOL. That was an EPIC scene! V BEAT Cheryl's ass and got her to sign those divorce papers laugh.png LOVED it!

^^Juliajms, wow thanks for that heads up. I forgot about that but vaguely remember it now.

So wait a minute. I hope this isn't the end of Ian's relationship w/Jimmy's dad because we still need to see the fallout of Jimmy finding out. I kind of didn't like how Ian left him in the cold like that. And I'm still a bit confused, is Mickey really into Ian or not? Loved that he spied on Ian's date. When they ran into the alley I was really expecting a scene where Mickey lets Ian know he wants him or something like that.

Thought it was really interesting when Lip expressed his feelings on Kash/Ian. Good scene.

I LOL'd forever at the Lip/Pedophile teacher stuff. That was raunchy as hell. Ugh at Mandy having to ruin all of it by the end of the episode.

Wow. I was really disgusted by the child abuse in this episode w/Frank & the baby. And how disturbing is this plot of him making Carl think he has cancer? OMG!

    • Actually Kim Zimmer got six weeks off to test the waters for pilot season in L.A. - she said later she went on many auditions and got one offer for a sitcom, but she would one of many in an ensemble. She turned it down, because it wasn't worth leaving Guiding Light for a supporting role on a sitcom. 
    • I'm not even sure why Zoe would care, even if they know each other offcamera.  I can't see Jean going, but if she is - good riddance at this point.
    • I just found the commercial on YouTube, with several other GL'ers doing the same commercial - how fun!

      Please register in order to view this content

        She did the same for me once Ghost Reva arrived (the anxiety and paranoia) - which is when the storyline for Rick/Annie started, with their Chicago past and her alcoholism. But before all that, when she was new and tending to Josh's broken leg, she was just normal, sweet and very cute/flirty. 
    • I have to admit Annie exhausted me somewhat before she went nuts. So much anxiety. She and Robert were OK I guess. Didn't ever stick out much one way or the other.
    • I meant to ask in the May thread, but hey...it's not like it won't come up...   ...has our opinions of Jessica changed at this point? I know we debated at one point if she was sincere in her feelings for Ty or if she was in on his bullying. Now that a little more time has passed, what do we think? 
    • Which is why I said...and continue to say mind you...that the designer is still trying to figure out what works for which character...highlight my points with particular characters. And as I also agree with you, too many misses. She has not found a clear, firm rhythm for me. Yet.   I also agree that BTG does a much better job. But I'll give credit where it's due. 
    • I watch many episodes from the Vault, a secret source here on SON, because the quality is much better than YouTube. But, it has commercials that I have to skip through, although even these commercials give me serious nostalgia vibes. All that said, there is a consistent 1996 commercial for Excedrin with Frank Beatty!  He talks right into the camera about his feelings, and it's like Brent Lawrence never left. I wonder if GL fans back in the day ever saw this and had feelings about it. 
    • Dukes of Hazzard had a good run when it moved to 8pm but even when that was failing ABC and NBC couldn't come up with a hit show to dominate  that timeslot. NBC sent The A Team, Knight Rider and Riptide there for their final seasons and CBS did the same with Scarecrow & Mrs King. Otherwise it was a barrage of new shows that never worked.
    • Agree. Much more miss than hit. Maybe I'm out of the loop, but I thought clothing was supposed to be flattering. A lot of the Y&R women are seen in the tight solid color dresses ,often with cutouts/one shoulder. Now that may be a fashion but to have all of them in interchangeable dresses... Do the characters have a particular color pallette/style that is unique to them? BTG does a better job in that department. Some recent Y&R looks. I actually like the dress but we see that style too often.   Nikki's new look is not to my liking.
    • The first show I found had Maeve dressed horribly, and I just shook my head and thought she must've been thrilled to be portraying someone much more sophisticated and rich. Vanessa's hats and gloves probably cost more than her AW character's entire wardrobe.
