GH: November 2012 Discussion Thread

Just to be clear, what's wrong with that post? Is it the whole "I'm officially declaring that I'm quitting" thing? Granted,I hate the whole storming-off-in-a-flounce thing as much as the next person but that's the unfortunate norm for the internet. Or is it the fact that someone who has been watching for 50 years thinks their viewership matters anymore?

What a [!@#$%^&*] mess that was! I need 2 extra hands to count how many people were featured and should NOT have been! What a ridiculous eppy. And why in the sam hell is the Q living room shrinking?!

Are we sure Edward was sent off today? It seemed more like "Let's showcase the worthless characters".

The only highlight was seeing my favorite Q, Ned! And boy does he look good!

Lawd have mercy! I'm going to go bathe now jeal0002.gifjeal0002.gifjeal0002.gif

Granted I'm an outsider but it looks like Jason/SB had a sizeable fan base. He was on the show for decades, right? He was part of a "core" family and had a number of popular pairings, right? Given the number of fan events the guy is doing and the apparent response to them, he's got people willing to spend money to see him. (I'm still trying to figure out how I ended up on a Steve Burton super secret fan mailing list.)

I'm asking because Scotty Baldwin went to all the effort of dragging that particular post here from Facebook so I assume there's something especially wrong with it. After all, it's literate and spelled correctly (which is certainly not the norm for Facebook) and the poster gives their reason for leaving in very reasonable terms so why does this particular post deserve cross-board ridicule? They certainly aren't the first person to say they're quitting the show because of Burton's exit. I just can't see why that post is so deserving of hate. Why is that so much more egregious than half the crap said on Twitter?

Look, I'm all for being a cynical, mocking bitch but this has the feel of kicking a dog because you don't like the color of its fur.

Just because someone doesnt like GH without Steve, makes them an idiot? Ive dropped shows when my faves left and/or been reduced to nothing. If this person has been disatisfied and SB was the last thing keeping them around, then I dont see whats wrong. He/she came across very sensible and not like some of the crazies that get overly fanatical

    • I like that there are a lot of local performers on this soap and I'm glad they've resisted so far on hiring too many soap performers.   Cady has been awkward on the show thus far and Jon seems to have polarizing as well. I say focus on the local talent and giving those people a job and exposure.. and leave the P & G soap opera performers in the past.
    • Who do you think would be good for the show among the ATWT/GL cast?

       about it I think Jan is a fine supporting part for a solid daytime vet (probably someone from the P&G soaps), as opposed to someone from the production location who is clearly cheaper. Which seems to govern some casting. I get the rationale, but I would start going through the ATWT/GL, etc. rolodex myself.
    • I dont mind Jan. She's good in the minor capacity she is used. 
    • tbqh I don't care about Jan, I don't care about Ashley and I think Jon Lindstrom as Joey is an acquired taste. Jon is a great actor but certain things are in his zone and then some are not. Some days I find Joey credible and compelling, but the stuff with him hanging around the Golden Corral, grumbling about Doug and bitching at Randy is not amazing. If he had material on par with what MVJ wrote for Ryan/Kevin on GH back in the day it'd be a different story. I do think he has real chemistry with Vanessa, which is in large part due to MVJ clearly molding that character (and hiring an appropriate actor) in the Lucy Coe vein when she reinvented Lucy in the '90s as well. But I am not here to spend 6+ months watching Jon glower a lot (which is what he's doing half the time to carry weak story) and make more vague dire pronouncements while Jen Jacob gets flustered and weepy over "Daddy" or whatever would come of that storyline. Putting them together sounds like a recipe for doom to me. But I may be in the minority on that.
    • I know this will never happen. But... Halle Berry as Dani Dupree(BTG). She would rock this role, it's in her wheelhouse.
    • When I see how bad the Ashley/Derek scenes are, I know there must be a larger purpose and Joey being her father is the thing that makes the most sense.  My take on it is that Ashley knows Joey is her father but doesn't know Joey. Maybe he was there when she was a child or just not around at all but I believe Jan when she says she didn't lie to her daughter about who her father was. Maybe she left him when she discovered his dangerous lifestyle.  I do think they could really jump start the character of Ashley if they hurry and do this. Jan is a great character and her scenes with Ashley have been helpful. This would further integrate Ashley into the canvas and give her something dramatic to do. With her working at the hospital along with Doug, it could lead to complications if she learns Doug is involved with her father. I just need is sooner rather than later because Derek is tanking her character. I need a distraction.
