Members dragonflies Posted December 9, 2012 Members Share Posted December 9, 2012 He's doing good, not perfect, but he's trying, more than Guza, Pratt or any other HW has done in recent years. Ron is miles better on GH than he ever was on OLTL. I just wish some would stop being so damn close-minded when it comes to anything RC, no one's saying kiss his arse or anything, but keep an open mind, which it's obvious some don't want too cause they might have to give RC praise for something they'll like If that's drinking kool-aid then so be it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dragonflies Posted December 9, 2012 Members Share Posted December 9, 2012 Yeah you lost me on that one Khan how is that bad storytelling, it's tying into another character that isn't a newbie. That's what you do with newbies, you write stories for them connected to core characters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted December 9, 2012 Members Share Posted December 9, 2012 Because I believe there are more exciting and compelling ways to let me know that . That's all. Again, it has nothing to do with Felix, his sexuality, how he pays his way through school, or anything else we've been talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted December 9, 2012 Members Share Posted December 9, 2012 and they have been utilizing other ways. We had that big picture of her at the end of the show and Sabrina has mentioned her several times. The Nurses Ball talk has been the big anvil on that. I didnt even think that Felix randomly pulling out lipstick had anythign to do with that until someone mentioned it here. It was very subtle and didnt scream of lipstick and applied a brand to it, then that would be a different story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted December 9, 2012 Members Share Posted December 9, 2012 Someone mentioned that Felix has the same last name as Billy Dee's character on Night Shift. It's frustrating being teased by the potential gold mine of s/l there. Daytime's (television's??) first black father/gay son relationship is an extraordinary opportunity.

Members Khan Posted December 9, 2012 Members Share Posted December 9, 2012 Honestly, Cheap, I felt as if all that played like some weird product placement deal that had worked out with GH. You know, like Campbell's Soup and ALL MY CHILDREN and ONE LIFE TO LIVE during their Heart Healthy Week (or whatever)? I halfway expected the show to run mock ads during commercial breaks, too. But seriously, none of that you've mentioned really has me excited about what's coming up. Don't get me wrong: I'm excited, but I feel as if the build-up -- all of the build-up -- should have been bigger. Much bigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted December 9, 2012 Members Share Posted December 9, 2012 Id be more excited if it wasnt Ugly Betty being used to usher her back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dragonflies Posted December 9, 2012 Members Share Posted December 9, 2012 That I'll agree on, I hate that Liz is being shuffled out on this. Liz and Patrick should be the ones trying to get the money for the Nurses Ball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted December 9, 2012 Members Share Posted December 9, 2012 Very well said. Life is just too vast and gray to represent everyone on a soap opera. The most we can hope for is that they at least try. I kind of rolled my eyes when they managed to give Felix a line about show tunes too, perhaps laying it on a little too thick. But I'd be lying if I said that I didn't know a gay man who obsesses over talks about musicals. There's always going to be that fine line between stereotyping and authenticity. All in all, I found Felix harmless and inoffensive. Let's see if he even lasts long enough to warrant the fuss. Some folks disagree with me when I talk about my desire for black characters who talk or act a certain way beyond what we typically see on soaps. What I'm always trying to get at relates to what R. says above. People may share a race or a sexuality, but there's no one way to be that race or sexuality, and I don't think I'm trying to promote stereotypes by hoping to see a wider spectrum of people represented on screen.

Members SFK Posted December 9, 2012 Members Share Posted December 9, 2012 If you watch her stand alone scenes on YouTube as some fans have edited them, it's almost surreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted December 9, 2012 Members Share Posted December 9, 2012 Im surpised they didnt become an item bc there definetly was seeds planted before Robin even died. If he was just starting to date now and getting closer to Liz, probably would also make for a stronger story when Robin does return. Who cares about Brit and Sabrina fighting over him. Liz could have been a good choice to get Lucy back considering her past involvement with the NB Links? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AlexElizabeth Posted December 9, 2012 Members Share Posted December 9, 2012 I'm still laughing over the epic "Sablo" pairing - Sabrina and Milo. I don't even know how someone came up with that idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
