GH: Discussion for the Month of January

[dragonflies]

I can't wait for Pattycakes to kick the trash to the curb, which he will. I hope Anna gives the twit a verbal smackdown about Emma

[VirginiaHamilton]

Wait a fvcking minute!

You mean to tell me that the they're having the revived Nurse's Ball (the very Ball that paid homage to Robin Scorpio every year) at a venue that is owned by the very cuntastic bigot that constantly degraded Robin for being HIV+?!?!?!?!?!?!?

I hope to hell that I've read wrong and that is NOT what Ron is planning to have play out, because if it is, that is beyond the fvcking pale.

[Cheap21]

Its just a location and who owns it is completely irrelevant to the good cause that it will be fufilling"If Carly cant make her love life work than what hope is there for Sabrina" Paraphrased from Felix but puke!

[MissLlanviewPA]

It IS strange, Carly herself even acknowledged that she and Robin weren't friends (understatement of the century, of course--and

obviously we didn't hear about her mocking Robin for being HIV positive).

[VirginiaHamilton]

Just a location, my asparagus. It's completely relevant when the owner of the venue is the very bigot who taunted the person that the Ball is dedicated to for years because of her having the disease that this ball is raising money to fight.

Why does it matter where the Nurse's Ball is being held? It's the event that's important, not the location.

Ned Can he stay forever please?

[VirginiaHamilton]

I've largely stayed mum about the Nurses Ball storyline (because I hadn't seen any scenes other than the ones with GH's goddess, Lucy), but Ron could've easily replaced the Slagbeast, Terrorsita 2.0, Britt, and Felix with, I don't know, folks who actually knew and loved Robin (like Mac, Minnie Mouse Maxie, Felicia, my AJ) and had just as much story on the road to putting the Ball together (i.e.: Liz and Maxie attempting to forge a truce in order to work together to honor a woman who they loved dearly, for instance).

[VirginiaHamilton]

IMO, it's akin to having the Westboro Baptist Church stage an annual memorial for Matthew Shepard.

Location always matters! Location,location,location!

And yess pleasssee!!

[MissLlanviewPA]

It just seems strange that it's being held at the hotel owned by one of Robin's few true enemies (if not her only real enemy). Carly herself even said that Robin would be rolling over in her grave over this.

OTOH, that's about the only place in town (or on the show, due to the budget) where everyone would have room to perform and mingle. And it would not only have looked bad for Carly to turn down using the hotel for the NB, it also raises her own status in PC, which is definitely in character for her.

[OldGHFan]

I kind of like that it took me a while to figure out who the couples were. Just a small glimpse of who they are....intriguing. Again, great banner!

[AdelaideCate007]

Wasn't it always at the Port Charles Hotel before it burned down? I guess it just seems logical for it to be being held it the Metro Court no matter who owns it. Does Jax still own half of it?

[MissLlanviewPA]

Yes, it was the PC Hotel before it burned down (well, before the budget ran out a few years before that, but you know what I mean).

[Vee]

I actually loved the scene where Carly dryly mumbled that Robin would be rolling in her grave to hear she was hosting the Ball. Followed by a few moments of awkward, nervous laughter between Carly and Felix as Sabrina looked on. I was making the exact same noises on the couch at home.

[partyperson25]

Thanks,and again more to come =) And thanks (again) I am very intriguing aren't I? It's totally awesome isn't it?

I miss the old hotel anyway! And the old nurses station and the old....EVERYTHING!!!
