This show is really so unlikable and depressing. I have to agree with whoever said there are barely any redemptive characters on this show anymore.

And is this Luke as an alcoholic story who killed a toddler supposed to be some sort of character study because this version of Luke has not one

redeeming quality about him anymore. Nothing. Luke was always a grey flawed character but he also was a character with incredible heart. I don't see

a shred of any of that anymore.

I think in some way the show admires Luke for killing Jake. Jake was a burden to their plans, and it's also a way to remind us that the golden boy JJ is now free of one child that wasn't truly his (according to the show). But they can't actually say they admire a drunk driver who killed a child, so they dance around it.

The Luke intervention stuff was pointless since he never spent one day in rehab

Supposedly he will spend time in a

campy rehab, that isn't what we will think. If that's true I guess it's more haha time for Tony Geary.

I was expecting Brenda to come home and go off on Brenda playing with her kid but GH skipped that so the horse couldnt get chewed out. Fail. Im not even watching the rest of the episode.

Im sure JFP and Guza dont see it that way. It was an obvious Emmy grabber

I just tuned into GH the past few days because Ive been off this week and this show is just. I can't imagine how unappealing OLTL and AMC are if this is considered the best. And are they seriously going to pull an AJ on Jax. I guess he is the only whipping boy left since GV's Lucky is gone. Sad. And I'll say it again, I don't find anything remotely appealing about JJ's version of adult Lucky. Loved him as a kid, don't care for him playing Lucky as an adult. GV might not have been the best actor(who is) but at least he had charisma, exuded warmth and a little sexiness on screen. I can't even verbalize what this Lucky exudes.

LOL @ Carly: "I don't care if I have to drug his (Jax's) ass and put him in a laundry basket" Wow

I kinda dug GH today, even though I don't like the idea of Ethan/Kristina I loved the scenes between them at Kelly's where Ethan realized Lisa has been giving Kristina hydrocodone pills. This is surprsingly coming together really nicely to me. I LOVE how they tied Lucky into it, that was clever how he found one of the pills on the floor and forced himself not to take it. Good for him!

I wonder what Lisa will have to say to Kristina tomorrow...LOL I'm sure she'll have some excuse.

Lucky going in on Papa Z was hilarious, Anthony practically had his tail in between his legs

Didn't care for Bambi & Abby at all, as usual they were the weak part of the episode.

AZ making funny noises then Lucky punching him was the highlight. Luke is playing Jason so Caroline get her daughter back.

I disagree, this is one time I'm rooting for Luke.

He was spot on everything he said to the borg

Agreed, I think Blake became a woman who learned from her mistakes and grew up. I too wanted them to be the core couple after the Tori thing, as a matter of fact, around Wheeler after Simon left I wanted them to move into the Bauer house..( I would have Blake say that this is the closet thing she knew as a home )SORAS the kids, and bring Sam back..Dinah would have a very contentious relationship with her, as she would be jealous of Ross and Sam's relationship, and Blake and Dinah would have that tension (ya, know cause she killed his brother) it would be a core family that had some fissures leading to good drama. But now, Wheeler and company though the Coopers should be the core.

Agree that great minds can think alike :)
In terms of Derek, I see the show doing one of two things based on the most recent episodes that featured him.
1) They do the gradual fade-out of the character until he stops appearing and is occasionally mentioned by Jacob (i.e. still living and existing in town, just not being seen). We saw some evidence with him having a group of co workers he's friends with, plus a female co worker interested in him... so possibly we see him regain his walking and go back to his life with the Fire crew and eventually we stop seeing them on air.
2) His mentioning to Jacob that he hopes to win Ashley back signals that perhaps the dark side we saw glimpses of has been hidden and will rear itself if she appears to be moving on with a new guy.
In terms of Ashley, the show seems committed to keeping her character on the show especially since she was shown in the Thanksgiving episode having a quiet day with Jan and Mona as they discuss Black Friday shopping, food, and other day to day matters... so I think delving into her backstory in terms of who her father is would be a good place for the show to go while keeping her as a good friend to Naomi, Shanice, and a good nurse during medical stories.
Perhaps one of the children of the handsome new doctor could be her love interest down the line.

Re: 1978. I'm glad the unedited version of the episode complete with commercials is available. The one that has been posted several years ago had several segments missing. I like Barbara's long hair here. Dr. Steven Farrell didn't last very long I take it since she is re-connecting with Tom (Tom Tammi) by 1979. The actor playing Steven (Phil Peters) was the real-life husband of Lenore Kasdorf (Rita GL).

Oh, how I wish we'd gotten to see Ross deal with his teenage sons. I loved his relationships with Phillip and Sam, but he really deserved to be seen with his own kids (other than the horror that became Dinah). The boys simply disappeared off canvas after either the Nursery Stalker or the affair with Tori.

What I liked about Bloss is that I liked how they grew to be the stable couple- the closest to an Ed and Mo in their prime. Especially after the Tori story when their extra-marital exploits were in the past. I wanted them to SORAS the three kids, along with Dinah and with Phillip's family as Ross's extended family would really be solid core family material.
With that said, I was rooting against Bloss in 1999 as I really liked the Ross/India pairing-- but that just turned out to be a waste of MKA.

They did actually resolve who shot Austin over a year later (it was Cyrus, as part of his hasty exit story). That was a last minute save though clearly when they forgot lol.

Talkin' 'Bout TV Movies

I love those old TV movies, especially the ones from the 70's and 80's. The ABC movie of the week had a ton of them. Like
Satan's School for Girls (1973)
All My Darling Daughter's (1972)
Gidget Gets Married (1972)
The Girl Who Came Gift Wrapped (1974)
The Two Worlds of Jenny Logan (1979)
The Boy in the Plastic Bubble (1976)
Death Cruise (1974)
Here is the 70's ABC opening. The theme music "Nikki" was composed by Burt Bacharach and named for his daughter with Angie Dickinson.

Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

The return of sitcoms' popularity in the mid-'80s was a real thing, but the crash of the wealth-based nighttime soap genre was resonate and self-induced.

There was an effectively grim finality to the mood of the cliffhangers in the Spring of 1985: Bobby's death, the Moldavian massacre, the return of Val's babies... and they felt as if they could have ended right there (and perhaps they should have, although I would have sorely missed S10 of Dallas, S6 of FC, and Season 9 of Dynasty , and the next five years of KNOTS as they singularly maintained quality).

But, wow, these shows just fell apart post-Spring 1985. They stopped being character dramas after a while, and just started trying to "impress" viewers in some superficial way and to "fake it" somehow.

What a painful, unnecessary slide it was. But once these shows seemed to lose their identities, their sense of self, their momentum into the dung heap couldn't be slowed.
