Guza didn't have an exit strategy for that it would appear, and they keep circling the drain. I'm hoping this is a set up to getting them back on their feet. It wouldn't be good storytelling if GW fixed them quickly after what happened to them, and Helena has already observed that the Spencers are falling apart all on their own without her doing a thing, so the acknowledgement is there with the writing staff. I am wondering if this won't be one of those "To the brink before rescue" types of deals. Individually they fall but together - with something huge to focus on - they rally and reunite stronger and better than ever. That's really the only cliche allowed this family at this point. All of them are spiralling out of control and perhaps Luke's return will not only dig his character out of the muck, but will pull Tracy, Lucky and Lulu up with him. Ethan seems the only one with his head above the water at the moment, but that could change depending on what this LIW story is all about.

In the end, GW has said the Spencers are one of his central families, so he's had to create the exit strategy for the group. It will be interesting to see where this leads. I'm thinking it will be very soapy.

Yup - he's got "Little Man Syndrome" in spades. Jerks-R-Us must be wanting their mascot back.

I had only been watching GH sporatically but have tuned out for good. I am not liking the show at all not any part of it and I think the darkness now a trademark of this show has become so offputting and there is just nothing to balance it out and the idiotic slapstic stuff with Tracy doesn't work for me. ANd I have no interest watching where this Franco stuff is going with Sam.

I don't agree Lulu/JMB is not the issue. Johnny became so much more interesting once he was out of that pairing. I am not enjoyiing him much these days but being tied to an actress who is limited in chemistry and can't sell romance didn't help. I didn't particularly care for Johnny and Olivia but I will say BB looked and acted 1000 percent better.

And gee Luke reappears to Tracy while she's getting a massage. Didn't we just see one of his more recent returns play out the same way?

*gasp* JaneAusten I could not disagree more with this! I loved Johnny and Lulu! IMO they were so good together, I think Guza made a mistake breaking them up actually. I thought Lulu and JMB was at her best during that time & some of her best moments were with Johnny. I'm a broken record here but Johnny and Lulu on the run in Summer 2008 had me hooked on GH. I will forever defend & love that time (Jun-Oct 2008) for GH!

^^ It's an interesting dichotomy. Johnny worked best with Olivia IMO, but Lulu worked best with Johnny (although Dominic was absolutely wonderful too… wish he was still around). There was none of this moralizing that we currently see in Lante, just two young people from screw-up families trying to come of age.

I also loved the way Johnny respected Tracy. There was something truly decent in that, even if he didn't agree with her all the time, he always knew and honoured how much she loved Lulu. I see shades of that now as Johnny tries to figure out what Anthony has planned for Tracy.

Let me clarify. I'm not saying Dante's rut is Lulu (nor am I saying it's strictly Sonny)... I'm saying getting rid of her and putting Dante in a fresher pairing with another, more interesting character would help storytelling for the Dante character. Maybe this "Dominic" aspect will come out in Dante if he's with a woman who isn't stunted at an emotional growth of 12 years old.

Thanks!

Nope! I've just been crazy busy these past few days and haven't had much time to get online. That was a good interview, but I was surprised he didn't ask her about a possible return to GH or if she'd been in contact with GW? It seemed like such an obvious question to ask.

She looks great here. I hope she is done with the plastic surgery, because she honestly looked really good here.

Ugh I can't with ShrewLu's miserable ass. Your boyfriend just survived getting shot(again!) and you're now engaged, stop being such a debbie downing sourpuss.

I'm surprised and disappointed Ronnie hasn't been offed yet, hate him.

Michael is so gosh darn annoying as Sonny's wanna be mob bitch, I wish they had kept him at ELQ.

    • 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
