GH: Discussion for the Month of January

[Mr. Vixen]

Steve is dumber that a pile of rocks and Cutie the Orange is about 20 years to old to play the damn character.

[AdelaideCate007]

If Steve was mine or any member of my family's doctor, I'd ask for a second opinion.

Yes. I had no idea what that meant till Steve so smugly told me what was happening. Before Steve said something, I just assumed that beeping was a signal for everyone to leave the room because it was time for Trey's nap or sponge bath.

[MissLlanviewPA]

Or it could be Ron's way of showing us just clueless he is, setting him up for an epically and painfully stupid death, for which he will have no one to blame but himself. Which, of course, won't be easy, because he will be dead.

With Steve, anything (stupid) is possible.

[Marco Dane]

Audrey looks hot in that pic...

I'm still kinda confused why Luke was in prison in the first place--and so easily released then. He got himself arrested to findout info about Duke in prison? I mean I know Turkish Prisons are notoriously shown--at least since Midnight Express for being harsh, and RC had David rotting in one for months with Clint only having to bribe a few people there, but...

[SFK]

Per your Midnight Express reference, I think RC is titillated more than anything by the idea of Turkish prisons.

[DRW50]

I think VH meant Reeves' religious beliefs.

Rest assured his religious views (which, unlike his wife, he has never made a production of as far as I know) have nothing to do with why I dislike him. I think he's a charisma black hole with zero acting ability, and I think he always has been. The only difference is that he has become The Thing in recent years.

[KMan101]

I kinda liked the Anna and Sonny scenes. I don't want it as a regular thing but I liked it. Finola is just ... sigh. God, I love her. The mere mention of Robin's name and the pain instantly showed. Just terrific. However, I wasn't all that thrilled of her running into Luke's arms like a teenager. I have NOT missed them together. At all. I do like Anna's position in it though. I hope the Duke angle is explored more because right now they need to be in scenes and discussing things. They're just jumping into this triangle. Yeah, the reminded us about Duke and Anna as Faison was masquerading as Duke but now that Duke is actually here ... IDK. I want a little more. I'm sure I'm just being impatient. It also annoyed me to see Anna's reaction because she all but shrugged her shoulders when he left and she found out he was taken prisoner in Turkey. She had Duke back and just couldn't care less. It was kinda jarring. I know it wasn't meant to be seen like that, I'm sure but that's how I took it. This triangle just ... IDK.

I have liked seeing Mac and Felicia a little more. Especially with Duke. So nice. I just can't believe when I turn on GH that I get to see Lucy, AJ, Monica, Felicia, Duke, Anna, Faison, etc. It's still surreal.

The Maxie storyline is so ugh. But, not gonna lie, I'm finally becoming a Kirsten Storms fan. I think she has actually done a pretty good job in this and as annoying as Maxie is by always keeping her mouth shut and causing herself more problems, this aspect has been OK for me. I do hate the storyline and find it all so pointless and convoluted. I'll skip on talking about Spinelli. If you don't have anything nice to say ... why is Maxie so head over heels for this thing? Ellie I can buy. I like Ellie and Spinelli together and the actress playing Ellie is very talented. They need to keep her around. I just feel like she will ultimately be a victim of this storyline.

I really miss when I liked Luke. I don't know why but I am so disappointed he's back and I hate feeling like that. It's nice seeing Dante and Lulu staying together. Kinda rare for a younger couple on soaps. The writing for them is a bit too sugary sweet and boring. It also doesn't help I like Dante a little bit more away from Lulu. And while I get the baby thing is huge for Lulu, I'm kinda over her constantly obsessing over it and Maxie. She's like a broken record. Doesn't she work? Isn't there SOMETHING else she can talk about?

Oh, almost forgot about Kawny and Olivia. I actually didn't mind that. I do take issue with the fact that Olivia and Sonny are both practically crawling to Kawny just because she's FINALLY showing human relatability. I think this kind of writing should have been there months ago. It just seems so far into it and they are using Sonny and Olivia to try and make Kawny viable. It is sort of working for me, honestly. I wish I cared more about Kate/Kawny though. Nothing against Kelly Sullivan but I still see Megan Ward as Kate. I can't help it. I really liked her. I could absolutely buy Sonny wanting THAT Kate back, not this Kate, so I'm kinda OK with Kawny sticking around. She is so offensive yet entertaining at the same time.

I miss AJ and Lucy on my screen.

[DRW50]

Better late than never...

[VirginiaHamilton]

All three actors have been suspected of being anti-gay - something that has been discussed online.

[VirginiaHamilton]

I don't know... perhaps, it's because I barely see him or because SR's never made an impression on me (on here and on Y&R), but I just can't seem to get worked up on such a plain character like Steve to the point where I'd want him off my screen. He's like taupe wallpaper in that sense...

[VirginiaHamilton]

I don't know about the Heather example. IMO, if it wasn't him (as her son) that was the last to know, it'd be someone else (whoever'd be her paramour, for instance) playing that clueless role. It's a soap storytelling staple, as annoying as it can be.

I will say that I've never once bought him as Liz's brother, since I can't see any sibling chemistry between RH and SR. At best, they seem like cordial coworkers while RH and JT have a more believeable connection.

[VirginiaHamilton]

That is what I meant, Carl. Thanks for confirming and explaining why his Steve irks you so.

[ChitHappens]

The Sonny/Anna scenes were ok, and Mo/Fin have a natural chemistry. It was good seeing a different interaction. What was my challenge, you ask? The whole thing was about Kawny and pushing that POS on the audiene some more. I can't believe someone took from that scene that Sonny was being propped when he's become the biggest pu$$y on Daytime (looks like Mo is lucky to be attached to Kelly Sullivan and not the other way around). Once again, we are being asked to understand, embrace and love Kawny and feel her pain. NOT GONNA HAPPEN! Nothing that transpired onscreen relates to Kawny's current heartbreak over losing a kid. NOTHING! My other challenge? Anna calls Sonny down to the station and asks him not to go after Duke? Excuse me, but when in the sam hell did Sonny know anything about this, and if he is in the know, Sonny would be aware that it was Faison and not Duke. That was so awefully contrived, and again, to give the audience another reason to embrace Kawny. !@#$%^&*] her! And I'll ask again, does Sonny know that he has no money in his name?

Yep! Now we know it takes two commercial breaks to get from Turkey to Port Charles. There's nothing else that can be said here.

Spixie - PUKE! That's all.

What else happened yesterday? Oh yeah, nothing!

[ChitHappens]

See, outside of SR being completely orange, I never really had a problem with him. He does not get good material at all, but SR is not good enough to rise above it like JT. He's average at best. I'm super happy he's not singing, but I'd keep him and get rid of ugly ass Spinelli!
