GH: October 2012 Discussion Thread

I never got where the stories about Natalia & Tyler's relationship being so toxic came from. They dated, they broke up, & now they're very good friends.

I think they are civil now but I doubt they are very good friends. He said his only very good friend left from GH is JJ.

I've heard rumors about him being unfaithful throughout their on-off relationshit as a reason why she wasn't upset about her character being paired with MB's (despite the unpopularity of the pairing).

I heard the breakup was really ugly too like TC telling everyone and their mother she was a whore.

That's ridiculous. They just did a PA together on the east coast. If they hated each other so much, I doubt they'd be talking much less meeting fans together. I think TC is a lazy actor, but that just sounds like crap.

If this is true, I hope that she responded in kind by calling his (allegedly) unfaithful ass a trifling whore.

I was at GH at the time of their breakup, and it was completely mutual. They both had & still have respect & admiration for each other.

It's like when people say Denise Alexander & Leslie Charleson hated & were terrified of Chris Robinson. They're very close friends with the guy.

Emily and Sonny was the grossest chit on GH in a lot of years. Mo's demands were out of control, and I would have let his ass go shortly after that.

What demands?

It's also been years since they broke up so they've both moved on and are on better terms. Doing a PA together doesn't mean they are the best of friends. The one I heard the bad breakup story from I tend to believe because they got it from someone who worked on set who gave alot of legit inside scoop like regime changes before they were even announced and spoield stories before they were dropped.

That had nothing to do with NL and TC. Mo and his wife Paula pitched that emmy baiting bipolar story and it was his wife who said that Emily as a character was most like her so they both pushed for the pairing. As for NL, I'm sure being paired with MB, she was happy for the airtime, but the failure of that pairing pretty much sealed her characters fate on GH.

I knew about MB/Mrs. MB pitching the bipolar storyline (which, well, I'll keep mum about out of respect for MB and others that suffer from that terrible disease) but I didn't know that Emily factored in from the jump. I thought that was something TIIC threw in at some point to make that storyline 'sexy'.

Speaking of those two, I'm glad that the last scene that I'd seen of Nik was of the one that they'd written together (when JJ Lucky asked him how come he never had a Greek or Russian accent) since I heard that his return a few months later was utter garbage.

Paula said quite a few times she though NL and MB had chemistry and she wanted to see them paired together. She even said it on his twitter awhile back.

That's precisely why I'm befuddled when some viewers complain about 90s Laura being a "soccer mom". Granted, I started watching the show in that decade, but she seemed quite content and natural in that setting/role - just as AG seemed right at home in the role of 90s Luke who was the doting father and husband (no matter how much AG loathed that era of his character).

No matter what I've seen her in, she seems to me to have this facial expression that screams "I'm just a practical person," so I don't know what anyone else sees when they see her as adventure woman. AG is more versatile in that he can probably be doting, adventurous, lecherous drunk or whatever.

As for Nik's relationships, I'll be honest by saying that the only one of his that I liked was Steven Coltin Scott Martines' Nik with MR's Gia so I wasn't exactly enthusiastic about Nik/Emily from the jump.

I had numerous issues with what they did with Zander. Way back when I liked Nicholas and Sara although that was pure sap. I didn't like when he had speech problems and developed the crush on Robin. I do agree that CS-SM's Nicholas with Gia was the best relationship he had. Even their rip-off Jerry Maguire moment doesn't seem so bad now.

Mrs. MB is delusional.

Frankly, I don't think that's a bad thing. It wasn't as if Laura was a cookie-cutter character with zero motivation behind her behavior and decisions, hence is why I can easily accept her as being 'practical'.

I was a huge Liz fan back in the Sarah days, so I pretty much ragged on Sarah (and her romance with Nik) every chance I got. I was never sure on whether they would ever decide to go with Nik/Robin in the future, so I really didn't know how to feel about that possibility.

I honestly believe that the woman that challenged and inspired Nik to do better was Gia, as opposed to how this show credits Emily for that. It's a shame that both the character and their relationship has been forgotten (or should I say, unacknowledged).

The less I say about how Zander was thrown under the bus to be backed up over and over by said bus, the better (as I'll be here all day cursing TIIC out for that one) - although I will share another UO of mine: I much preferred his relationship/bond with Alexis over the overrated forced-chemistry-having Cassadine Coven.

I wasn't knocking her "practical" look. I wish just remarking that her practicality is what causes me not to buy her as the ultimate adventurous woman. She just doesn't fit that bill for me.

I wasn't a fan of Elizabeth's. I went along with her has as the bad girl/spoiler to Sara. I didn't like the Lucky/Sara/Nicholas triangle they tried to force so I was good with Lucky discovering Elizabeth. I more or less felt sorry for Nicholas as the abandoned child. They basically heaped all the blame for that on Luke though.

ITA. I guess that's one of those instances where you're supposed to forget that someone else played Nicholas so if you didn't see TC do it then it never really happened. I just remember reading around that time that the whole defrosted daddy dearest Stavros s/l was supposed to lead a darker Nicholas and they wanted TC back because they didn't think CS-SM would be able to pull it off. Pudgy just never sold me on romance. I'm still stuck on his crush on Catherine but I guess if I had to go with something then I'd go with Courtney. Emily never because I could only see little Amber before she was totally gone on Zander.

although I will share another UO of mine: I much preferred his relationship/bond with Alexis over the overrated forced-chemistry-having Cassadine Coven.

Alexis was fiercely protective of Zander and that really worked. I do happen to think she was good with Stefan but I guess I just liked Stephen Nichols in that role. Alexis began her slide for me with that baby sister Kristina s/l. I really hated that including Kristina being a wedge between her and Ned which subsequently became some unrequited love for Sonny being the wedge. There's another gross attempt to make a match out of perfectly good friction. They should have left it at Alexis' high school crush/stammering in Sonny's presence. The best thing that came out of that forced scene was Carly's walk up the stairs to Vanessa Carlton's Twilight. I can remember hearing that and thinking it sounds like the singer of A Thousand Miles.
