Someone on another board said Garin forgot about Dawn when Monica was talking about her children being gone. Never even knew she had a daughter named Dawn. I looked it up and its understandable that he forgot. The character was only on the show for 3 years played by 4 actresses.

I guess what it comes down to is that just because it may be dated doesn't mean that it's not true. Specifically because all of this stuff Siobhan is saying is still so very true and accurate. Liz wants Lucky in her life and she wants Lucky to come back to her so she can endlessly cheat on, abuse and hurt him further when he is barely healing from her last injury. Everything Sio is saying is true.

Liz has cheated three times on two husbands and it's often all swept under the rug as if it doesn't matter. She is still the victim in everything. Lucky couldn't even hold it against her because she was institutionalized afterward and Nikolas made him feel guilty for 'punishing Liz' as he called it. The man can't even be mad at her for her indiscretions and consistent cheating. :rolleyes:

Can I just say how refreshing it is that one character doesn't view Liz as this perpetual damsel in distress, heart of gold victim and is calling her out on her selfish actions which have caused pain and heartbreak for herself, others, young children and other members of her own family, friends and co-workers? I get it Becky plays Liz sympathetically and everyone wants to give her cookies, warm milk and comfort hugs and pats on the head but that doesn't mean that Liz is any less despicable as a mother, wife and woman.

I agree completely on this. A lot of fans are saying JJ's Lucky is being propped and primed as one of Guza's go to characters but the same could honestly be said for the character of Liz. I would even go as far as to say that Liz is probably viewed as one of those moral centers that you mentioned which is what makes this all so incredibly annoying because she still has her halo so to speak. In theory Liz is a very sympathetic character. She is an artist, a nurse, a mother and a rape victim so she has a back catalog of sympathy in her character history but I despise the way she is written as if nothing she has done is bad or holds any weight/consequences and it's all skimmed over as if by passing accident.

She broke her family apart, shredded Lucky's heart for no reason and continued to lie about her baby's paternity constantly and it was all swept under the rug as if it didn't matter or if it did it didn't matter for long because well she is Liz goddamn it! and give her a break her baby died! She gets free passes! This kind of writing/thinking/portrayal of Liz is what has made me dislike the character to the point where I was rooting for Carly, Sam and Rebecca to claw her eyes out for her lies and her resulting hypocrisy all the while Lucky was endlessly demonized for his infidelity with Maxie and made an unknowing cuckold twice due to Liz's actions and cavorting with Nikolas and Jason.

So much word to this.

I love a good rivalry/daily bitchfight on my soaps to but GH trying to make it happen with Liz & useless ass Siobhan just isn't cutting it for me. That girl needs to scurry on back to Ireland already. If Garin wants to stick to GH history and roots like he's said numerous times, he'd go back to (IMO) one of GH's money rivalries - Liz vs. Sam! And yes, with the Borg in the middle!

To be honest when I saw Sonny on the steps, I thought they had brought the Brownstone set back. I should have known better

Siobhan continues to be a miserable b-tch. Im undecided on whether I want to see Lucky annull his marriage and dump her or if Id rather her just be killed off. The latter sounds like a good option but I dont want to see him grieve for her. She isnt worth the tears

For me its only been since Jake's death. Ive always hated Siobhan and Im still bitter over GV's dismissal to care for Lucky like that anymore. Im no Liz fan anymore, but I dont hate her as I did just earlier this year. She was at her absolute worst with Jason a few years ago.

Ugh can someone tell Epiphany to sit her fat ass down somewhere? I couldn't believe she yelled at Liz for being suspicious that some guy was trying to get into the drug supply closet who had no hospital badge. She had every right to be concerned.

As for Carly vs. Robin, I dont even know which side to take here. Hate Carly but I think Robin overreacted a little bit here.

      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.

      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.
