Members rhinohide Posted June 9, 2012 Members Share Posted June 9, 2012 She truly is "Marty" in these stories. She's the one who makes everything happen and she's fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alexisfan07 Posted June 9, 2012 Members Share Posted June 9, 2012 After seeing her on GH, I really wanna see some of Mattson's work as Janet on AMC now. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Kate Collins but I'd be interested to see some darker gravitas to the character that I'm seeing Mattson bring to Heather.

Members Cheap21 Posted June 9, 2012 Members Share Posted June 9, 2012 KC's Janet was a cartoon. RM's was more sinister. The two defiently played the character differently. KC's was more for laughs whereas RM's was more serious and cunning Please register in order to view this content http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xenz_CWGR7k&feature=related Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Skin Posted June 9, 2012 Members Share Posted June 9, 2012 Heather serves no purpose but to be the writers plot device. It's obvious that she is being used solely to create drama for other characters, she's not a real entity and her "motivations" are so ridiculous that they don't even appear even half way logical.

Administrator Toups Posted June 10, 2012 Administrator Share Posted June 10, 2012 I'm disappointed GH is now taping in film. I just looks weird on TV because there's that microsecond of...lagging (I don't think that's right word). I'm starting to really enjoy Anna/Luke. I liked how he brushed her hair aside in their last scene on Friday. I'm definitely becoming a RM fan because I'm loving Heather. She's so fun to watch.

Members Khan Posted June 10, 2012 Members Share Posted June 10, 2012 I'm not surprised Heather has lost all semblance of depth. It's the same problem for Jane Elliot's Tracy. Both characters are so deliciously wicked that it's easy for a writer to fall into that trap of making them almost cartoonish in their motivations. I must hand it to Robin Mattson, however. As usual, she's committing herself to whatever the writers are giving her, regardless of how stupid the material. It's something I've loved her about since the dark, dark days of SANTA BARBARA.

Members DRW50 Posted June 10, 2012 Members Share Posted June 10, 2012 Anna/Luke make me feel sick. If Anna had any semblance of integrity - which no woman on this show ever has - she would not go near him. I have no idea why a woman would want to be treated like his pet. As for Heather, I don't even care as much about her being a plot point as they don't even do a good job setting that up. They also surround her with dud characters like Olivia and Leatherface.

Members Cheap21 Posted June 10, 2012 Members Share Posted June 10, 2012 Her storylines are weak and the plot stinks but RM makes it work. She is making Heather such a treat to watch as any other actress just wopuldnt draw the same interest. This is one of the signs of a good actress...turning sh-t into gold. I could watch her all day even if her story sucks. She's adding so much to the show and her scenes are worth watching, plot point or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted June 10, 2012 Members Share Posted June 10, 2012 The only way GH will ever get me to care at all about Luke and Anna is if Duke, Holly and Robert were to get in on the fun. Otherwise...? Forget it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members KSlater Posted June 10, 2012 Members Share Posted June 10, 2012 Hope you all don't mind me joining in the conversation. I'm an infrequent poster here at SON, but I do watch GH. I've been watching since August 2009. I watched in the late 70's/early 80's too when I was a teenager. I think I'm the lone person in the world who enjoyed a certain fired writer's work. He wasn't anywhere near perfect or even great, but I found things to enjoy under his regime. When his storytelling lagged, the dialogue was great. And I could count on weeks where the show was top notch and memorable for me as a viewer. And under his watch - no flashbacks or over abundance dramatic soapy music -- I loved that. I watch my soap to unwind after work -- nothing bigger than that. And I know it could be pulled from the airwaves at any time. That doesn't bother me -- shows come and go and soaps aren't any different IMHO. When GH goes off the air, well, it goes off the air. I hate to say it, but I'm not enjoying the new regime that much. There are some aspects that I like, but I am finding it hard to watch -- not as hard to watch as Garin Wolfe, but close. Maybe it's the way it is edited now? That's one of my biggest problems. I really loathe quick cuts on any show. I realize that that is used to give the illusion that things are moving, but rather than it being seemless, I'm thinking, "I guess this is supposed to be something happening." The OLTL gang -- there's only one of them that I find interesting, the rest don't draw me in. However, I don't think they are taking over, but I'm also not seeing outside of one character what they are adding to the show for me as a viewer. I have no feelings one way or the other about OLTL -- I watched the show in the late 70's for a bit -- it was good show, but eventually I stopped for no particular reason. The baby switch is probably my least favorite type of soap opera story, so when it became clear that was what was going to happen, I groaned. I didn't care about Tea losing her baby (I know that sounds heartless), but I don't know her enough to care. I did care about Sam losing hers. I'm also not a fan of split personality storylines -- I've seen too many in my lifetime. The show is all over the place for me. I used to enjoy GH as a whole, but now I am down to enjoying Heather, Luke, Tracy and Anna and that's pretty much it. Their storylines are kind of ridiculous, but the actors/actresses seem to know how to make it work at least for me. And that's maybe the another part that bothers GH right now -- I'm finding it kind of ridiculous at the moment. Currently, there's no story that is really making want to tune in to see what happens next. But I'm still tuning in, hoping that a good story will pop up.

Members DRW50 Posted June 10, 2012 Members Share Posted June 10, 2012 I'm so glad to see your posts again. I hope you will post in the Eastenders thread. OLTL of the 70's was a lot better than anything in recent years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members OldGHFan Posted June 10, 2012 Members Share Posted June 10, 2012 I'm with you here. Holly, Robert and Duke....and Laura are the characters that are missing in the Luke/Anna relationship. Luke and Robert were like brothers and that's why if Luke and Anna do go romantic...it will seem a little incestuous to me. And I'm kind of mad that this regime hasn't acknowledged the bromance other than when Luke lying to Robert about Ethan to keep him from committing suicide (unrealistic to me). Luke going romantic with another one of Robert's wives is a little too much for me. I wish they'd bring back Robert, Holly, Duke...and Laura. Having 3 supercouples together (L&L, R&H and D&A) will make this long time GH fan happy. Maybe the regime will do this in the end. Frankly, at this point, that's all I'm hanging onto.
