GH: Discussion for the Month of June

I've been rather upfront about Brenda being my favorite character (as well as the reason why I sat through a Guzafied GH for as long as I did), so while I did and do prefer her with Sonny over Jax, I can't truly complain about her last year or two being less than stellar (writing-wise). I quite enjoyed the return of her mother, as I got another piece to the puzzle of one of GH's best female characters. While it led to her tragic 'death', part of the reason why I was able to soldier without Brenda was because of the other great stories that were going on at the time.

I was never a fan of Liz and the roided goiter (or, well, any woman with him post-accident, as I believe that they could have and can do a lot better) because I found that the beginning of them equaled the end of what made her such a vibrant character to me in the first place (her snarky wit and endearing insecurity). The destruction of the Liz Webber character, IMO, rests solely on the shoulders of Bob Guza, as he preferred to ruin her character to prop the roided goiter.

The less I say about the Slagbeast's lies being the catalyst for driving Robin out of the very town that she called her home, the better.

I will admit that I have a soft spot for Kelly Monaco because of my enduring love for Livvie Locke, who was everything that Sam isn't. Had I not had prior experience in watching her on Port Charles, I'd have written her off, too. As it stands, her onscreen reunion with Michael Easton is why I care about her GH character (and, if I'm honest, his OLTL character) since...well, ever.

I honestly don't have a dog in the KA ugly or cute debate, but I will agree with you about wardrobe's insistence (on both OLTL and GH) in styling her as a bootleg Jessica Simpson instead of dressing her as the regular J. Crew chick that she is meant to be.

This is the only thing that I'll agree with you about.

I didn't know that he'd written out Luke Spencer

I got lost in this argument. What's your point? That Guza is a hack who didn't bring back beloved vets and use them properly anymore than Ron Carlivati? Or that the character of Lucy Coe wasn't valued by Guza? Can't figure out who it is you're insulting.

Nothing like harkening back to a long dead pairing on a short lived cancelled soap to determine preferences on GH. I feel better. I don't like them for the same reason you do like them. And more.

1. *sigh*

I'm not looking forward to sitting through another round of Todd being shat in Ron's never-ending quest to keep Hater Yellgado on a pedestal that she doesn't deserve to be on.

2. I wished McBain kicked the roided goiter in the fvcking throat after he asked if he was "OK".

3. Like Friday's episode, the only highlight was seeing Heather and Todd mix it up.

Todd shat on to prop Tea? Say what? Todd has been a deviant from the word go! There was no Tea when:

He raped Marty

He tried to rape Nora

He put Blair's child on the black market

...and all the other crimes he committed. We agree that Ron is a hack, but dont blame him for Todd.

    • John Black actually was the ultimate good guy soap hero. So I don’t mind the town gushing over him. It’s deserved.
    • Be glad it wasn't a Perry production.

    • 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.
