GH: Discussion for the Month of January

[MissLlanviewPA]

You wound me, Carl. (no pun intended, oops).

I do think she was acting more mature when JL was playing her, but I like KS, too. And her pink sweater, again, is fabulous. Because that's what's important here.

And I kind of wanted Starr and Trey to be together (although I also kind of liked him and Kristina, too), so I didn't mind her visiting with him in there.

I'm selfish like that.

[soapfave06]

I preferred Trey and Starr to Starr/Michael and Trey/Kristina. I understand why they have Starr paired with Michael, but there was at least chemistry or something there with Starr and Trey.

I have to admit I like Maxie/KS too. I was really enjoying the story until she slept with Spinelli, but I guess they couldn't have Maxie actually carry Lulu and Dante's baby and all go well.

[DRW50]

I think Maxie's a very disturbed person. She's done so much damage. I guess the show is saying she can't help it, she's just a girl - I don't know. It's increasingly difficult to see the body count wrack up without this ever being addressed.

[VirginiaHamilton]

I still SMH @ Ron's innate ability to ignore the males that Starr actually has chemistry with so that she can flounder in a pre-destined pairing with that worthless Eeyore.

[MissLlanviewPA]

Same here. I actually don't mind her with Michael THAT much, but I'd prefer her with Trey or Johnny, for sure.

[VirginiaHamilton]

I'm trying to understand why Frank had EV audition with KA if neither he, nor Ron, were planning to do anything with them beyond being temporary roommates.

[ChitHappens]

The shame is that FRon continuosly shovel that plain dog faced no talent at the audience. To give her Krissy's scenes with Trey was absurd! LM may suck, but Krissy was owed those scenes - NOT STARR who is not that much better!

It makes not sense that Starrr seems to be everywhere stealing scenes from other characters

[VirginiaHamilton]

How she's lovable (or rather Minnie Mouse Storms' version, as I vastly preferred Robyn Richards' version who wasn't written as a catty bitch) to any viewer, I'll never know...

[ChitHappens]

The problem was Kawny. FRon appear to be very fond of the character/actress, and there was no selling this as mother and son, so the audience had to lose out because the clown stays.

[DRW50]

I think there were probably plans that were scuttled when they decided to dump the entire story with Joe Jr, who was being set up as a "good" mobster and a victim of Connie's lies.

I could never get past EV looking old enough to be the father of that entire early twenties/late teens group.

[frequentsoapfan]

He seriously looked way too old to be hanging with the 20s scene. I do remember reading the mags in checkout line and him saying a Michael/Starr/Trey triangle was coming so I'm sure it got scrapped after the horrible Joe Jr storyline.

[VirginiaHamilton]

Haven't seen any clips from this week yet, but it's perfectly plausible for Starr to get scenes with Trey. Not only did they have more chemistry than she's ever had with Eeyore or that he's ever had with Krustina, they were a lot closer than he ever was with Krustina - though I'll give him 1/2 a gold star for at least attempting to make it work with that bint.

Perhaps, it's because I'm not watching the entire show, but I don't see her stealing scenes from other characters. IMO, she's exactly where she should be - mixing it up with Todd, Johnny, Konnie, Sonny, and unfortunately Eeyore and his Slagbeast mother. The only problem that I have with her as a character is that she insists on talking trash on my AJ even though she just met him a month or so ago.

[ChitHappens]

Chemistry has nothing to do with it. If that were the case, Sean/Shawn would not be shackled to that straw haired beast. It was just another way to make Starr the center of everything. Those were Krissy's scenes as his wife/girlfriend.

[VirginiaHamilton]

They could've easily solved that problem by keeping Trey and Konnie apart for a while until they could set up another confrontation moment. I thought that he had potential to be more than just Konnie's unwanted son and it's a shame that they got rid of him since he was the most appealing male in that age range.

[VirginiaHamilton]

I can't speak on Joe Jr. (since I saw so little of him), but I refuse to believe that Eeyore is the only early 20-something male that they consider viable.
