I understand why they are go-go-go story-wise - FV had to go balls to the wall to keep the show on the air, much like Monty all those years ago. But there was also much more quality control, and money for it therein back in those days. And Frank's taste is sometimes iffy. I love the show and what it does well even as I hate what it gets wrong, and it gets plenty wrong. It's a longer conversation for when I haven't injured my wrist, which I'm sure half of SON helped bring about with black magic. So, success, you guys! Result!

On another note: "No, silly! Felix likes boys!" was adorable. I just like that a kid like the little girl playing Emma will grow up in an environment and a climate where she can be that matter-of-fact and it's no big thing. It's sweet. I'm easy. Also I just took pain pills.

I seriously thought Dante said "Lulu Spencer Fuckineri!" today.

I was thinking the same thing about Emma today!

I totally get that drive to save the show, it made sense. But now the show is overloaded with characters and story and it's just all too much. It's so busy, I feel like Nikolas getting shot is given the same importance as Sabrina graduating from nursing school!

I would say less so bc there was no buildup to it. We didnt even get a chance to let Nik being back settle and then he's shot. Already seems like a waste of a return. Let me guess, he remains in a coma for weeks as we wait for Lulu to return and her captor to be revealed to everyone?

It is. And that's a problem.

I don't mind GH becoming an action-centric show again, and having a large canvas. And I think a lot of it is great. But RC and FV's scale for balance, as well as character, has been all over the place for quite a while. They don't have the quality control for their daily shows that they did five years ago. The show is often very seat of their pants. And sometimes I think they prefer it that way. I admire ingenuity on the fly, because that is my business, but not if the quality consistently degrades.

No silly, Nik will wake up and have amnesia!

Luke: NIKOLAS!! WHEREISLULU?

Nikolas: What's a Lulu?

Felix (to Milo): "I don't mind if you ask Sabrina out"

Emma: "Well I do dry.png "

rolleyes.gif Over this disrespectful, pressed ass little girl.

Felix's jealousy over Milo is embarrassing to watch. He needs to GET OVER IT. He rejected you MONTHS ago. Why is Milo acting so clueless? Did he forget Felix has a crush on him? I found it surprising when he said they've been gym besties for a while now. Oh, whatever! rolleyes.gif

Did they really bring Nik back only to have him shot right away and put into a coma? WTF is that? I mean wow, not even one solid scene between him & Laura... e8099.gif

Who was the script writer? Thanks in advance ...

^^^Crush? Sabrina has a crush. Felix wanted to have sex with a perfect stranger. That is hardly anything Milo should or needs to remember. If F's feelings are hurt, too damn bad. It's shameful that someone wrote not so long ago Felix propositioning this man only now it has turned into "feelings"? Milo is not acting clueless. As far as he knows, this is over as he told a stranger in a bar that he was not gay and would not be having sex with him. Now, this stranger has popped back up and is conveniently a friend doesn't change that we saw Milo already tell this man that he's straight.

Idiot "writers"!

Must've been a good episode today lol

I haven't even watched yet. And it's too late for me to do so. I had a late supper and I'm just gonna watch a DVD instead until I knock out. I'm feeling "Beyonce, I Am... World Tour"-ish tonight, since I know almost all of those dance routines. :)

That's good but I still want her on my screen.

Nothing against Lesley but Helena kept her a doped-up prisoner for over a decade, so how is she going to be able to protect anyone from Helena? What a random reason for her to not be there. I wonder if they tried to get DA back.

I mean, can we really argue there isn't a difference here? (Ps, thanks Addie for uploading that clip so I could cap cute young Monica wub.png)

LOL Alexisfan, I usually don't come for you but did you really use a pic of LC from 30+ years ago against her Stretch Tight days to prove a point? You could easily just compare a Stretch tight from 5 years to now and not look so..desperate.

The problem with GH and the problem with their OLTL is their insistence that SOMETHING!!1@!1Q13DC happen in every frickin episode. So everything is rush rush rush to get to that "moment", most of which aren't even fully followed up on. I get that there's something for everyone but with that you end up with stories that aren't fully fleshed out. The show ends up feeling like empty calories.

It's all about a moment of shock - not well-acted or written shock, just shock - and nothing else. No one, even the mother, gave a [!@#$%^&*] when Sam's baby died. I was amazed. They were basically telling viewers not to even bother caring. None of these stories have any stakes.
