Members VirginiaHamilton Posted September 20, 2012 Author Members Share Posted September 20, 2012 Look no further than the complete demolishing of the Spencer family as proof of this. After all, he: 1. Transformed Luke from a loving husband and dedicated father that I knew into a drunk grandkid-killing and hooker-partaking louse with zero respect for anything or anybody - including himself* 2. Turned Laura from a strong and clear-minded woman who didn't take any sh!t from anyone to a weaking who turned the other cheek when her true love cheated on her with his BFF's woman. 3. Turned Lucky from a soulful and intelligent young man to a brainless dolt and then to a spineless punk who no one had any respect for. 4. SORASed Lulu into an obnoxious twat (in other words, Slagbeast, Jr.) - the complete opposite of what L&L's daughter should've been. 5. Created some greasy-ass bootleg Jack Sparrow character as a result of Luke hooking up with his BFF's woman and called him Luke's son while expecting us to accept him as the son that Luke deserved instead of that hapless Lucky. *yes, I'm well aware that TG played a part in that crap, but Guza still came up with that crap and made it happen on my screen Say what you will about this latest Hatfields vs. McCoys feud of SON, but at least the pro-Cartini folks never felt compelled to create a GH Alternative thread.

Members MrQuartermaine Posted September 20, 2012 Members Share Posted September 20, 2012 After Guza & JFP were gone, it was a wonder there were any veterans left standing. The entire veteran population became decimated at their hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Quent Posted September 21, 2012 Members Share Posted September 21, 2012 What does all this GH talk have to do with best and worst funerals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BKuzak Posted September 21, 2012 Members Share Posted September 21, 2012 You know Viki Lord had nice funerals for two of her husbands (and none came back from the dead...she visited them a couple of times though LOL). Joe Riley's funeral was pretty sad. pregnant Viki wearing the black head cloth thing of the 70's and deciding not to tell Kevin just yet because he was too young and Tina by her side. I wasn't a big fan of Sadie Gray singing so i thought Viki could have done better there. but everything else was real nice. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkEcVahFmQM&feature=relmfu and the funeral for Sloan was pretty nice too. a full military funeral for the general. maybe they went to Arlington to film it too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7-DiWvz6zw Unfortunitly for Ben, they had been talking about his death for so long that by the time he actually died, they just had a candalight service for him. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvPL3qcr3VY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MissLlanviewPA Posted September 21, 2012 Members Share Posted September 21, 2012 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrE746OEsMA I love how background music randomly appears when Sheila starts singing . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted September 21, 2012 Members Share Posted September 21, 2012 I've liked most of AMC's. Even near the end, it was nice that we got some sort of tribute to characters like Myrtle and Palmer. As to this thread now becoming a Guza vs RonCar thread--as much as I dislike a lot of both people's work (I didn't mind Loving when Guza co-headwrote with Millee Taggert), I don't think any of them have set out to destroy the shows. I never buy into it that any writer wants to destroy a show (OK, some of what's been said about Pratt when he was at AMC may be an exception, but...)

Members MrQuartermaine Posted September 21, 2012 Members Share Posted September 21, 2012 That was one of my least favorite funeral scenes. Clint Ritchie & Erika Slezak cannot believe what is going on, and while Phil Carey starts of enthusiastically, by the end he's realizing how stupid it is.

Members Khan Posted September 21, 2012 Members Share Posted September 21, 2012 All these years later, I still cannot fathom why OLTL would believe it appropriate for Sheila to sing Motown at Megan's funeral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted September 21, 2012 Members Share Posted September 21, 2012 It felt more like Gottlieb and Malone's agenda of "we're going to do sh!t that soaps would never do and you're going to love us for it and think we're so avant garde!"

Members DRW50 Posted September 21, 2012 Members Share Posted September 21, 2012 I like the idea - Megan was a free spirit and wanted people to have fun. I just didn't think it was executed very well, chiefly because the ONLY person in Megan's life who would have gotten into any of that was Tina.

Members Khan Posted September 21, 2012 Members Share Posted September 21, 2012 Then, they should given us a full-out, Black Baptist funeral, complete with large choirs and "Negro spirituals." That's avant-garde enough for soaps without turning it into "KIDS Incorporated." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
