Why stop there? Why not just make her his real mother so she can have three kids that she was abe to keep secret until Carly blew into town? Next they can make Sam be the believed to be dead Caitlin with plastic surgery and amnesia and this is why she's so familiar. They can say that the daughter Alexis thought she had was hit by a car on her way into town to find Alexis and tell her the truth or have Kendall be her daughter. Helena was keeping her hostage somewhere with her other hostages and frozen relatives.

The thing that pisses me off is that it wasn't always like this in here. I find it to be absolutely no coincidence that the minute FV/RC's influence hit this show, the conversation in this thread has regressed drastically. Their influence has done nothing inspire actual conversation about this show.

One of the things that Brian Frons and his cohorts have failed to accept is that deception is not going to increase the number of viewers. I figured that once OLTL and AMC ended that some of the actors might end up on GH but moving OLTL characters over is worse. Maybe they thought that they would get OLTL viewers to tune in but that hasn't done anything for their numbers and they should admit failure and let it go. You can't improve GH by loading the show up with more people and ignoring other characters which was already a problem with the mob screen hogs.

I don't even watch the show anymore but I would hate to turn it on and see Starr. I didn't even want to see her on OLTL. Respecting GH's history is parading old characters in and out and reconnecting Jake's parents is having Elizabeth as head cheerleader for Jason and Sam. How does RC even think that people who might have wanted Jason and Elizabeth together would be happy with that?

SoapBoy94, what a gorgeous pic of Jackie Z..at her best I have always thought her very sensuous...

.I'm a huge Bobbie Spencer fan even during the Laura / Scotty / Luke days I use to root for her....for me GH descend began around '96ish esp when they made Carly her daughter & all that followed w/Tony Jones...to me they were trashed & yes I know its not soap for couples to last forever but I could actually see the agenda in wiring re: Sonny/Jason.. I kept thinking I was wrong but the writing never failed....

Also the demise (and return) of Stefan Cassadine another of my favs that was written horribly...I really liked him with Laura & Katherine Bell...who is another of my favs (she got thrown over the parapet) ...I liked the GH the most during the 70s/80's & the days of the nurses ball & all that....I'm old school GH

Do not put that out into the universe.

So how'd you like today? I thought Ron wrote some horrible and terribly dark and depressing garbage on OLTL, but this really does take the cake. Here we were afraid he wouldn't understand that GH is a more somber show than OLTL. Well he's managed to disappoint almost everyone. He's made it both campier than GH ever was before and morbid at the same time. mellow.png

GH killed those light moments long ago, along with their beloved heroines. Unless you saw spastic Alexis, face pulling Diane and Lunacy as comedy, which in and of itself were more sad then actually comedic.

Where is this happening? More over who cares if Jiz is happy at this point? They are both worthless entities who deserve nothing but the utmost despair and scorn from the entire community.

As for the GH/OLTL merge...I can't say it's working on a few different levels. Most of you covered the basics but my issue is I don't feel compelled to watch GH. If I'm in the mood, I watch the clips of Todd/Tea/John (sometimes Starr) online but I don't feel connected to GH so I don't watch the entire show. I think part of it is be being so emotionally worn out going through three cancellations that I just have no interest in watching another. That's not to say I don't like some of the characters or actors, I do - I like Anna, Luke (though I know his history), Tracy, Heather, Patrick, Elizabeth, Sam, Alexis, even Dante and Lulu sometimes. But a lot of them don't really mesh with my personality. I abhor violence so a show based around the mob with its two lead characters as the epitome of that...yeah, no thank you. Maybe I'll watch when John takes them down though. Not only that but there's just a lot of wasted airtime with characters that it's clear most GH viewers don't even care about - Kate, Olivia (I think that's her name), Steve, Spinelli (barf), nuMaxie. Clean house and maybe I'll come back for a legit merged show. And RC needs to drop the OLTL ripoffs. More DID, seriously?

Don't worry - RC is so totally incapable of writing with depth that the endless morbidity will be about as hard-hitting as an episode of Barney. Even a man trying to rape his own daughter is hilarious to RC.

The story is just a ripoff of a ripoff of a ripoff, full of overexposed characters who have already done this same story. Maybe that's supposed to be "irony". I call it lazy, cheap writing. I guess we should all say SOAPY GOODNESS! and wait for the ratings to go up .2 so we can start the parade.

      Right. Literally for decades, soaps mesmerized their audiences with tales of romance, family conflict, class struggles, and recognizable interpersonal-relationship sagas. We didn't need relentless, heavy violence. We didn't need clones, mad scientists, extra-terrestrials and demon possessions. We didn't need gaggles of plastic himbos and bimbos pushing beloved vets off-screen. We only needed to see people whom we cared about, and the intelligent, moving progression of their lives. Flashy sets, gaudy gimmicks, and high-falutin' hairdos be damned. The characters and the words were important.

      B&B: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      Absolutely! Brad should've simply moved on from Lunacy. There's no point of freeing her, if you're not going to at least make an attempt at redemption or incorporating her into the fold. It happened with Quinn, who committed quite a few felonies before become the Forrester Matriarch.  Heck, keep Lunacy in prison and have Poppy/Finn discover that she gave birth to twins - 'Sunny' could've come on with a clean slate and still had Sheila/Finn and all the other drama. It certainly couldn't have been worse than what we've witnessed with the destruction of $B.

      I would enjoy it if Swan popped up on BTG as an old one time friend/mentor of Anita’s for a cameo. This is just

      I had totally forgotten that Courtney story. I see Burton was already phoning it in by that point.

      omg I completely missed that, but now when I see it typed here in your post, it's obvious icky cringe. So now I just checked and Tomas said that -- on May 27 that he likes the author Carl Ivati.  He said it with sort of an accent, so I didn't catch the stupid joke or think about the spelling.   I remember when that aired, that I actually said to myself at the time, "I wonder if that's a Latin American author, and I will have to google him later." And now I see your post, and I see. Well that's cringe, and I feel stupid to have fallen for it.

      There's a lot you don't need if you have the writing.  You don't even need large casts!  You could make do with a cast of 12-18 actors if the writing is there.

      Thank you. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with sleeping around if your spouse actually knows about it. She’s just a cheating slut.

      OMG...Robert Mandan! And Donna Mills is a child. I keep hoping for more of early Ross/Vanessa.

      I get your point, but I also know that if the roles were reversed -- if a man were screwing around on a woman this way -- everyone would be all "All with his head!" When I say Vanessa needs therapy, I'm actually being kind, because I could begin and end with the fact that she's a cheating slut.
