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.

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 laugh.gif

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

    • He needs to divorce her arse with her constant cheating.   She's no better than Doug... she's F*cking pathetic.
    • I didn't know of any interruptions for Maeve Kinkead after her 1997 return. Her runs would then be 1981-1987, 1989-1996, 1997-2000, short arcs until the end. I knew Maureen Garrett second run was interrupted from a 2009 interview but I couldn't recall the exact year. Her runs would then be 1976-1980, 1988-2000, short arcs until the end.
    • As I said in May, I have no problem with Martin and Bradley being married. You can still do all the fun introloper storylines with them as you do everyone else. Both men of a certain age, and it is very believable for them to have either a first love or have been previously married. And, you can do it without either of them cheating!

       I said something similar during the premiere week. Bill was the perfect age to play Martin as Vernon and Anita's child. I would've much preferred this version, but oh well.
    • I don't know how you want to count Maeve. She "retired" in '00, but would come back for appearances. I don't know however if she made an appearance in '01 or '03. In '02 I believe she came back for Josh and Reva's wedding. I assume she came back when Gina Tognoni took over the role of Dinah. And I know she was back for Ross' memorial service. Maureen Garrett was around until at least '00. I don't think Holly was in town when Ben returned though. I just got pissed off about Jerry all over again.
    • So, pretty sure Zaslow, Garrett, Kinkead, and Newman all chose to leave the first time. (If that's wrong, please correct me). Bernau - not sure why he left the first time. Was it voluntary? Or did they decide to write him out? They were writing so many out during that time period. It always seemed odd to me that they introduced Alex, FINALLY giving him someone he could talk to, and then he was written out. Or maybe that's why they made Alex his sister, so she could take his place as the head of the Spaulding family? Would love more intel on that if anyone knows. Simon - was he replaced by RVV? Or did he voluntarily leave the first time? It seems to me like one of those times TPTB decided to sex up or glamorize a character (and it clearly flopped). If he was fired, interesting he came back. Again, would love if someone could spill the tea. Clarke - I've always assumed he left because of his personal issues, but not sure if that was the case the first time.
    • So Doug just leaves Vanessa there with Joey? He's a f*cking loser. Vanessa needs to divorce his arse 
    • Tina Sloan tied Jerry VerDorn record when Guiding Light was cancelled - 26 years uninterrupted 
    • Very true...but TPTB all were desperate to get into prime time or films and couldn't, so they looked down on their own industry and tried to infuse themes that just didn't work in soaps. I would have thought after 9/11 the shows would have gone out of their way to provide that warmth and comfort that the audience wanted, and to bring old viewers back. Budget cuts? Just bring back kitchen sets, both ATWT and GL got rid of those besides one each..(the Snyders and the Bauers) You don't need super fancy sets if you have the writing. 
    • LMAO they didn't
