LOL...JT looked worse a couple of weeks ago when he was shirtless. He seemed a little bit more pudge in today's episode. Spinelli is just grosssssssss

JT is a good looking guy. I am surprised he doesnt work out and get that hot body to add to his handsome face.

Speaking of Liz, I keep hearing about this sizzling chemistry between her and my AJ and how they've just got to hook up and...well...I'm not on that bandwagon just yet (and don't know if I'll ever be). Granted, I saw just a few scenes between the two of them (and spent 75% of them wishing that she could go jump off a cliff) and so I may not be totally clued in, but I'm not seeing it.

I'll admit that I am biased by the fact that:

  1. My AJ deserves better than the roided goiter's sloppy seconds. He's been there and done that more than once and it damn near cost him his life. I've waited far too long for my AJ to return as the glorious prince that he once was for him to be sidelined by the Liz of today.
  2. Liz hasn't been a worthwhile character to root for in a decade. Granted, I haven't seen her much since the Cartini takeover last year, but I still consider her the female character who was destroyed the most under showkiller Guza's poison pen and cryptkeeper Frons' tutelage. They're going to have to do a lot more than just stick her in scenes with my AJ to rehabilitate her character - something that ought to be done before this show ends.
  3. It seems that folks want them together because they just happen to be unattached, which backfires almost all the time these days. The last thing that I want is to see my AJ's comeback marred by him being roped into a pairing that is unappealing.

Then again, if Ron decides to go forward with them, I can find one positive thing about it:

  1. It'll hinder the chance of the Slagbeast getting her crusty fangs into him once again.
  2. Should I be unlucky enough to see said Slagbeast in my AJ's orbit, hopefully, Liz will finally cash in on the opportunity to backslap that bitch to kingdom come. After all, it's only right that she gets to do what so many women - the majority of whom came on after her - got to do before her.

I admit, clothed, I find Patrick to be one of the more handsome characters on GH--and I also get tired of guys on TV (especially soaps) having Robert Ford style 8-pack bodies, which don't appeal to me, but.... I kinda hate myself for agreeing. I only work out a few days every week, and am fairly lazy, and I have a better body (something I rarely find myself saying about guys on soaps...) His is just... odd.

They couldn't have shaved off 20 seconds (or all of) the shower scene instead?

I always forget you didn't really watch Carlivati's OLTL... This is par for the course.

I sympathize with Kassie wanting to be on GH--she seemed very excited at first--but, despite Ron in that interview last month claiming his ultimate goal was to bring in Blair just when everything was perfect for Tarly, she really should have seen the writing on the wall...

I know people will tweet anything, and re tweet it, but shouldn't these people know better? Even more so than having doubts about PP, after Brian Frons (and other execs) would claim they weren't cancelling a soap and were happy, and then turn around and cancel them, these kinds of quotes mean nothing, IMHO.

Back when ABC was trying for all of 3 months to do some online content--they would show extended and cut scenes from OLTL. I don't remember any of them being very important, but it would be cool of they do something like that again. (Still, I would have rather they had cut something else--the scene was probably about 5 lines from Mac).

    • Indeed. I may try to watch it in full sometime, but not anytime soon... Mark played Sean Baxter for a few episodes when Courtney married Andy. Burke was either on Broadway or at OLTL at that time, I suppose.
    • Well, Josh was a horndog. LOL Yep. It was one of the first really weird things Reva did with her PPD. She became obsessed with the idea that Dylan and Sam should get married. Sam was only 17, and needed her parent's permission. Reva helped them leave town so they could go to a neighboring state where Sam was old enough. Ross, Billy and Josh stopped them, then Sam went to India to try and persaude Justin. Reva followed her and didn't tell Josh she was going. While Reva was gone, Josh advertised for nannies, and Harley applied. He ended up hiring someone else. But when Reva returned, she hired Harley because (in her weird mental state) she wanted someone she could trust with the kids (because she feared Josh was trying to get rid of her and that Vanessa wanted the children.). After Reva starts treatment, she asks Harley to stay until she's stronger because she's good with the kids. At the party, Reva starts going off the rails, insulting Justin and Josh hauls her to a private dining room to ask WTF. Reva starts confronting him about the "affair" with Vanessa, and he realizes she is weird. He locks her in the dining room and frees Mindy and Van from the ladies room (where Reva has locked them in). Van starts telling him that Reva attacked her and needs help.  Reva escapes out the window of the dining room and goes back to the party, climbs onto a table and starts a striptease. Josh gets her to stop, takes her home and after filling Ed in, decides to go to the doctor the next day. Reva then takes off and spends days running around town, coming on to a guy she thinks is Billy, Billy, Hamp, Frank and Roger.  Roger takes her to his apartment and takes nude pictures of her, which he tries to blackmail Billy with. He wants the deed to the land the Towers is on in exchange for them. (Billy had been left the deed by a sweet old lady who lost her home in the 5th street fire. Roger had stolen the deed from her before she died. After Roger took those pics of Reva, she saw him hide them, and took an envelope from the hiding place. She didn't realize she'd taken the deed and not the pictures.)  Anyway, Billy and Vanessa trick Roger into burning the pictures, claim the deed and at the Towers opening reveal that Billy owns the land and therefore the Towers. That's what led to Roger and Alex's breakup and Roger and Mindy's affair. Mark Lewis was on ATWT? 1986 is not a good year, storywise. No bueno. Muy no bueno.
    • All the time they spent trying to make viewers feel sorry for Chad only for him to not even last that long. I wonder if they knew Richard Burgi was going so quickly. You're right about Josie replacing Cheryl. On paper, this should have made sense, given all the ties Josie had to the canvas, but I did prefer Cheryl. There was something very synthetic about Alexandra Wilson.  I suppose even if she did have some fans they were just so used to getting rid of people left and right, so she was more collateral damage. As you said above I do wonder what the plans were for Peggy Lazarus. I think AWHP mentioned her once telling Peter that Peggy Lazarus wasn't her real name. Maybe she would have been another Carl moll... Rebecca Hollen never did get her due in her soap roles.
    • So true...Hackney might have had a story on FC with Richard being an old lover of his, but reveals herself to be a Cartel member and blackmails Richard with something into doing her dirty work  LOL. But of course Richard had his hands full with the double trouble sisters Ms. Jones and Ms. Braxton that season.

    • Cat herself will be a stumbling block all her own as she vowed to Chad to stay away from him, thus redeeming her of her crime morally. Classic DAYS would have them gazing longingly at each other at Doug's Place or Blondie's, while Liz is serenading the room with a song aptly chosen to represent their feelings of emotional turmoil.
    • From what I just recently watched, they were setting her up to go into future stories. She was Emmy nomination worthy in the material I saw. If some viewers did not like her, the character could have been rehabilitated after that sick storyline. It feels like they destroyed a character for fun and then tossed her to the curb. Spencer had chemistry with everyone. I'm just retroactively angry on Spencer's behalf.  You're right about how Cheryl was often forgotten and pushed aside and I would take Cheryl over Josie. I think soaps need characters like Cheryl. Characters like Josie are way too common. Josie always got on my nerves.
    • CBS was back in third place in 1994/95. That was the season CBS lost NFL broadcasting rights which also cost them several established affiliates in major media markets. 1995 CBS was sold to Westinghouse and Les Moonves arrived. 1995/96 CBS was trying to be young and cool to compete with NBC and Fox, but it was an epic failure and CBS was once again in third place.
    • I tend to think that Chad will actually listen to Jen (this time). And that will be the next stumbling block in their relationship, which will open the possibilities for Cat to seek another member of their love triangle... To iterate my earlier thought, I am also not a fan of the person Melissa Reeves, but the character of Jennifer looks so chic this week, especially in comparison to Hope (and Gabi).  That blunt haircut is a winner.   
    • I think Cheryl was essentially replaced by Josie, and it seems likely that Lemay wanted to bring the Frames back into the picture and for a variety of reasons that it would be McKinnons who would make way for them. Cheryl didn't really get many layers -- she was pretty and kind and sweet and faded into the background so that Scott could participate in the AIDS storyline with Dawn. Looking at the AWHP, other than (not very) shockingly being in love with her mother's adopted son Scott, Cheryl apparently went out with Sam and flirted with much-too-old-for-her John Hudson and MJ's ex-boyfriend/pimp Chad. I know MJ told Mary that she had been a prostitute, but did she tell Cheryl and did she tell anyone about Chad's pimping?   
    • I feel the same way about Melissa Reeves' Jennifer. She just makes the show feel like home by her presence alone. I am perfectly okay with them coming in every once and awhile, which probably fits Reeves' schedule better anyway. Their connections to Salem are still there: JJ, the grandkids, Jack still owning half of The Spectator ... they're perfect recurring characters. All this talk of Jennifer being in the wrong regarding Cat is absurd. Jennifer is not being villainized in any way, shape, or form, she's just being allowed to actually be human, which adds odds to the obstacle of Chad and Cat eventually getting together. All inner conflict. Keep it coming!
