GH: Discussion for the Month of June

[Wales2004]

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.

Bobbie's last story I want to say was when she was with Roy and the nurse played by Jensen Buchanan was killing patients and the nurse loved Roy. That was pretty much the last time she served in any dramatic capacity. I don't remember anything else after that.

Yep there are things that annoy me like everytime theres a thread about Gh even if it has to do with casting of non OLTL charcters the threads becomes a place to discuss OLTL characters that aren't even on GH!

[Wales2004]

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?

Sam is dumber than a box of rocks!

Hey look its the two most talked about characters today with another lost soul. Oh man, that picture makes me wish they had done a Lucy/Scott/Bobbie triangle

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

It's not a lie. It's an opinion. And you stating your opinion as FACT over and over again doesn't change that it's just your opinion too.

[rhinohide]

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.

[Skin]

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?

[Mr. Vixen]

Is this conversation still going on?

I'm done.

[alexisfan07]

Sorry I just saw the comments lol

[DRW50]

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.
