GH: July Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

I did and that why I don't think she being trashed to prop anyone, since GH clearly think Carly is one of the best character on this show along with Jason and Sonny. Beside GW said that Elizabeth grief is all about manipulation, which make me :rolleyes: b/c Jason and Lucky grief is genuine but a mother's grief is not.

I don't watch GH on a daily basis so I can't say what is or isn't an improvement, but I can say that I did appreciate the Monica/Jason scenes. At first I was thinking they were going to be more of the old standby of Monica lashing out at Jason, desperately, while he stares back at her with the usual pseudo-tears. There was a little of that, but there was also some serious questioning of Jason and his choices, with Jason forced to try to give answers, instead of just more close-ups of his soulful stares. I really liked the scene where Monica gave him a photo of when he was a little boy and talked to him about what he'd been. For the first time in a long time I thought there was some balance in the relationship and I thought that Monica saying they had to say more to each other, but not right now, was a nice way to let her have dignity and also avoided the usual pitfall of Monica being shamed while Jason looks stupefied.

None of this had to be done, which makes me appreciate it even more.

I don't have much of an opinion on the rest, although I was glad that Jason's women were speaking about self-respect and not depending on a man. It may be lip service, and it seemed like Sam was reading from an old copy of I'm OK You're OK, but it was a nice change.

Oh I love bitchfights, too. Don't get me wrong. And I don't think there's a single woman on this show who plays them better than Becky Herbst. So I'm enjoying the fighting, but I still think Siobitch is an out of line, out of control cu*t and I hate her. :lol:

I only wish they'd stop making Liz so weak with her. Liz KNOWS how to be a bitch and I only wish she gave Siobhan a bit more back. She just lets her walk all over her trashing her without saying or doing much. Siobhan has more than warranted a slap. Liz needs to hit her and start throwing some insults her way. We saw her stand up to and fight Brook just a few months ago. What happened to that fire?

I don't really have a problem with Siobhan taking things out on Liz, I feel she gets a free pass too easily and she cheats too often for it to be discarded like it doesn't matter (Zander, Jason, Nikolas) I need someone to call her out on it because everyone just pats her on her head and protects her like everything she does is so cute and she is just this harmless ditz who isn't aware that her actions have consequences and hurt people. When Lucky hurts Liz it's this huge problem, but when Liz hurts Lucky everyone just harps on him to forgive her because she obviously didn't mean it. :wacko: I feel like she is a mini-Carly just nicer because Rebecca has the sensibility to play her character with some semblance of heart.

How is Liz hurting Lucky? Siobhan is calling Liz out on stuff that happened a year and a half ago that she wasnt around for! Liz more than paid for that crap and one cant say it was simply discarded bc for months, every single day someone was calling her a whore, tramp, slut, etc.... She got blasted big time for cheating on Lucky. That wasnt simply ignored. She shouldnt still have to pay for that and definetly not from Siobhan. She had absolutely nothing to do with that

    • I love my girl, but nope he's pathetic. 250K and now he's put her business at risk.   L O S E R

    • The whole town gushing over John Black as if he was a saint is eye rolling.  I guess death really colors people's memories over his many flaws, but I guess that is normal and human nature. I'm still confused as to why Leo hasn't been written out.  The actor stank up two soaps with his sub par acting, what does he have on TPTB's to remain on these soaps.   What's the point of Cat?  I hope the new head-writers figure out her purpose and develop her character. And I much prefer scenes not focusing on John's death because life does go on for the world when someone passes.  
    • Wasn't there a break in Zaslow's first run? I thought Roger was off-screen for a while, and when Zas came back, Roger was hiding at the boarding house and Nola figured out there was something hinkey about him. I'm pretty sure Simon chose to leave the first time and was replaced by RVV. I don't want to assume Jordan's issues played a role in his first departure, but Maeve said in an interview that at some point, it became very hard for her to work with him and she asked to work with him less. That seems to fit 1986, where suddenly Vanessa is essentially Ross' law clerk and not at every Lewis family moment.
    • 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
