GH: July Discussion Thread

[Antoyne]

I'm glad I went out instead of watching the full episode...How were the rest of the Jax/Brenda scenes as that's all I cared about anyway?

[quartermainefan]

Fortunately the show never referenced it again. Watching what they are doing with Jax it just brings home that as bad as he's gotten it he is still not in AJ's league. I knew AJ. AJ was a friend of mine. Jax, you are no AJ!. I wish they would bring him back, either AJ would be fine.

What a disgusting episode. Stinks of horse urine.

[Mr. Vixen]

The only highlights were the Brax scenes and even those weren't that great.

Molly is annoying. Her punishment for kidnapping a child was only to have her computer privilages taken away from her! Great parenting Alexis. Shut up Sam. You took Liz's kid. It wasn't a mistake!

Laura Wright's mouth is SO BIG

Marcil, re-fix your face. Please. She used to be so pretty, it makes me sad.

[StevieM]

Yeah, Quartermainfan, I started to write that, but then erased it, in case I was wrong and missed an episode. But I didn't think the show ever mentioned it other than that one time either.

snore fest until gavin starts

Carly loves her daughter? Bwahahahahaha

Awesome line I'm using it in my fan fiction (I'll give you credit) LoL but IA Lucky was a whipping boy until JJ came back in the role then he ascended to sainthood...the writing was so proLucky and he got a plethora of material to siphon off an emmy reel. Now I guess he will again be flawed...how much Jason asskissing he does in the future I guess depends on how Wolf will write Jason....will he continue Guzastyle or actually write Jason under the bus a few rounds...that depends on how much autonomy he'll have from Frons/Phelps. With a change on their writing team maybe Jason will be written to be soapy.

I thought AJ did try to snuff Jason once I thought it played out during the Dr. Thomas storyline when Jason was in the hospital or something (I could be wrong history has been muddled on this show so bad I get confused.)

Sam didn't take Liz's kid she watched (Jake) get kidnapped then hired thugs to pull guns on them.(Jake/Cameron)..she said it was a lapse of judgment and all was well. She didn't try to jump off the roof except as a hero, she didn't get called out by the town....nobody knew...they kept it under wraps.

Wow Maxie deserves better than to be a constant JaSam prop

Brenda today was actually good. I liked her telling Sonny, EVERYTHING IS ABOUT CARLY to him.

[Money]

I guess it's just me because I thought VM has just been average and she continues to make strange acting choices. Last year it was the insane hyena cackling and now she pauses, inappropriately smiles, and then pause again in mid sentence even when she's upset. It's just bizarre. IR however has really been fantastic. When he told Sonny that he was too much of a coward to come at him like a man instead of hiding behind the mediator and drugging him I knew that was Gavin. The AJ references and the line about placing flowers on Josselyn's early grave was also little nuggets of gold. And Brenda is wrong because not everything is about Carly. Everything has always been about SONNY and that will never change for Sonny. He loved ruining Jax under the guise of helping Carly and she befitted from it. And even when Brenda is right they couldn't have her tell Sonny what a jackass he really is and left since they inserted all that rubbish about their relationship and history. Why the hell did she go back to Sonny after the conversation with the barracuda? He exit could have been great instead it's just more Sonny and Carly propping.

And how egotistical is Liz? She tells Lucky that Siobhan is trying to make him choose between she and the kids and she wishes she would because she, Siobhan, would lose. Liz hasn't been likeable since she boinked Nicholas and not even the death of Jake made her sympathetic. And Siohban need to get on the fastest plane back to Ireland.

GH continues to suck.

I have noticed this. I don't think it fits at all when she is angry and I completely agree with you on that. I think what I get from it is that she doesn't want to be mad at Sonny, so she yells first and then she calms down and tries to smile it out and tell him how she feels. It could be that she is attempting to construct frustration, anger and sadness and that's why she does those smiles and pauses. I think it would work better if there was a forced plastic quality to those smiles instead of the warmth that she displays with them. I know some people who smile when they are livid and they do it to try to mask the emotion they are feeling. So maybe that's what she is trying to do. Smile so Sonny doesn't get defensive and try to get Sonny to really hear her. I do agree that it is a confusing technique though and it's very easy to not get her message through the screen. But the material actually helps her.
