February 4, 201313 yr Member Yep oh and he'd probably kill off both Kevin and Lucy Then I'd have to get my trusty rusty pitchfork and go after Guza with that and a couple of Chinese throwing stars.

February 4, 201313 yr Member Who was trying to tell someone how to feel about GH? You're the one who was saying that bringing PC over was a bad idea when it's obviously doing something for the show cause the ratings keep rising. All I saw was someone saying that just because you aren't enjoying it doesn't mean the rest of us are There you go again saying PC is improving the ratings wihtout any proof. Just because most people in this thread seem to like soemthing doesn't mean it's good.
February 4, 201313 yr Member When people stop watching, people also shame them for that (like the people who stopped watching because of Burton quitting). Either way seems to get the same derisive reaction. Just my opinion, Carl, but I can't imagine that it'd be that serious for lapsed viewers to care about what current viewers had to say about them tuning out. Perhaps, it's me, but the last thing that I'd be worrying about is Tom, Dick, and Harry judging me for ceasing to tune into a show (especially when said show was terrible enough for me to justifiably quit watching).
February 4, 201313 yr Member There you go again saying PC is improving the ratings wihtout any proof. Just because most people in this thread seem to like soemthing doesn't mean it's good. Then what do you attribute the rise in ratings to if its not the story? Please tell me.

I'm not saying they'd care, just that I feel like sometimes viewers are damned both ways in how their actions are viewed by other fans.
February 4, 201313 yr Member Then what do you attribute the rise in ratings to if its not the story? Please tell me. Nostalgia of seeing their faves return.
February 4, 201313 yr Member I'm not saying they'd care, just that I feel like sometimes viewers are damned both ways in how their actions are viewed by other fans. IMO, that's the problem right there - allowing fan / stan opinion to affect one's choice to enjoy / stop watching a show. I made that mistake during my last year of watching this show (in its entirety) and vowed that I'd never allow it to happen again once I decided to peep this current version.
February 4, 201313 yr Member Nostalgia of seeing their faves return. For a day or two? Definitely. A couple weeks? Maybe. A month and a half? No.
February 4, 201313 yr Member Nostalgia of seeing their faves return. That might fly for a day or even a week, but not for long periods of time. Somebody might tune in to see Lucy and Kevin but they're not going to stick around if the story is awful or if they're not enjoying something. For a day or two? Definitely. A couple weeks? Maybe. A month and a half? No. +1
February 4, 201313 yr Member ICAM they are both immature, unstable creatures. But, I actually understand the strong feelings because it's a bullying story which typically do inspire visceral reactions. I get being Team Britt or Team Sabrina. Teams form over bullying stories all the time. Cinderella was essentially a bullying story, too, with the victim finally triumphing. So RC delivering a total bitch (stepsister) doctor bullying the insecure, poor (waif Cinder) underling. RC even called Sabrina Cinderella in an interview. The evil stepsister wanted the Prince cause he was handsome and rich, and for Cinder he was a savior from drudgery and bullying. The Prince and romance took secondary focus there, too. Notice RC's twitter and GH Facebook been pushing the bullying aspect for weeks. Last week they intentionally phrased it as, "do you LIKE Sabrina finally standing up to Britt?" Notice the question is not who do you think Patrick belongs with? That question they reserved for Maxie/Spin/Ellie which is a real romantic triangle, with Spin's feelings and relationship with both the real main focus. ICAM RC couldn't make it more obvious this bullying story is just filler for JT while he stalls KMc's return. JT knows it, too, because he only shows up for Robin-related scenes. Give him a scene watching a DVD or talking to Emma about Robin, and he makes Patrick's feelings very clear. Otherwise, he's checked out. You know what I don't understand, How any viewer buys Patrick & Sabrina stand a real chance here???? Heck, RC even has Sabrina propping the Scrubs great love story. RC writes Robin as the poor tortured heroine fighting with all her might to get back to her family. Patrick took forever in soap time to try to move on and still comes across lost without Robin. Seriously could RC paint a bigger neon sign that Scrubs are the tortured lovers torn apart who will get their HEA? RC is many things but subtle isn't one of them. The ending been already written. Patrick wins getting Robin back. Robin wins her HEA. Sabrina wins by overcoming bullying and emerging tougher and gag prettier. Only Britt, the bully, wins nothing. I really don't get these strong reactions. Seriously. Both of them cancel each other out, in my view. They're both mentally unstable people who dropped out of the sky having a rabid crush on a man they barely knew. They're both immature. They're both insecure. They're both self-serving. They're both inconsiderate of Patrick's grief. I really don't get how people are on either side when they're both horribly drawn characters who are only serving as plot points and filler for Jason Thompson. This story has not been about Patrick, his grief, his recovery from his drug dependency, anything. It's all been about "Who do you want to win? Britt or Sabrina?" with Patrick looking like an idiot in the middle. Edited February 4, 201313 yr by TeamEric
