GH: November 2012 Discussion Thread

[EricMontreal22]

The lack of Qs causes an issue with me too, when characters like Carley go on about what a potentially evil threat that family is--when it seems for ages now the family has largely been Monica, who's largely harmless, and Tracy, who isn't exactly gonna go around trying to corrupt Michael--and a harmless for a long time Edward. For a while now they've seemed like one of the least potentially "threatening" family on the show.

That said I did overall like the Quartermaine stuff today--and Tracy. Not spectacular, but better than I expected. I was looking at the description for episodes this week as I can enver remember which day they pre-empt in the US for Thanksgiving, and it looks like we're back to random gunshots on Thursday, unless my DVR is wrong...

That's what has become of the Llanview court system since Judge Fitzwater retired.

But honestly, unless McBain was putting out lit cigarettes on his kid's face, no judge would grant the trick who didn't even know who her baby daddy was a freaking restraining order.

[VirginiaHamilton]

That's all I got for today, folks...

[Cheap21]

that was one of the saddest episodes of Intervention. That moment broke my heart

[SFK]

I didn't see that coming, and boy did it put a frog in my throat. I thought it was going to be something "shocking" to launch some new story.

[DRW50]

Considering that Clint had the DA kidnapped and almost raped and murdered, and faced almost no consequence, a restraining order probably isn't a big pull.

[SFK]

I know I'm "not supposed to", but I got a kick out of those Clint/Bo mentions today. I thought to myself, "Wow, I see Clint's still being an !@#$%^&*], guess he hasn't completely dropped his lame wannabe-Asa schtick. And poor Viki, I wonder how she's handling all this?..."

[DRW50]

Viki dumped Clint, is now insisting her only brother was Tony Lord, and is in the middle of reporting on the latest Gaza conflict.

[EricMontreal22]

But it was!! It will lead to a reveal that Edward had used cutting edge science to not only save Lila, but rejuvenate her into a hot, spunky, twenty year old, who unfortunately thinks she's still in the midst of the Roaring Twenties! (Ron has never been too good with dates...). GH's best return of the dead story so far this year! (Wait though, there's an even more shocking one due before January).

I hate to indulge these lame bones thrown at OLTL fans too, but I admit I kinda like mentions of life going on back in Llanview--more than many of the actual returns. (Though some of them have been so off--Starr recently said something about how awful the Buchanens' were as a family, which made no sense coming from her).

[DRW50]

She has a point - the Buchanans of the last years were a very sad bunch, with Clint made into a monster, the relationship between Clint and Bo destroyed beyond repair, Bo not caring a bit about his nieces and even defending his niece's rapist, Kevin and Cord wisely staying away as often as possible, and Joey existing briefly as a dunce before vanishing back into the dark.

That line tells you a lot about RC's true contempt for the family, which IMO was there in spades during his time as headwriter.

I guess all this would be more suited for the OLTL thread though (not the tribute one, as this isn't much of a tribute).

[Eric83]

He's acting like Farah Fath This makes me want to go read the thread where she called out SON/TWOP posters.

[EricMontreal22]

LOL so much for what he said in the audio inerview posted (where I actually liked some of the points Ron made). Oh well

[Toups]

What board is RC talking about? LOL

That was such a beautiful moment.

I wanted AJ to make it in time too.
