GH: Discussion for the Month of March

[ChitHappens]

Clown? Absolutely! Stalker? Hardly! What's wrong with the man who messed up trying everything in his power to get back the woman he cares about? Should Carly be doing the work here?

He messed up and is trying to make it right. How is wanting Carly back and doing whatever it takes to make it happen a bad thing?

[Cheap21]

sounds typical of Todd and how he'd constantly try and get Blair to take him back after he messed up.

[ChitHappens]

Exactly! I love watching Tarly, but if something does not change with Todd, I will hope and pray this character is finally retired. There is nothing to lose by taking this man in another direction.

I just don't like how Todd just expects everyone to forgive him and act like nothing is wrong. I initially liked Todd and Carly, but Todd shoving Chinese food down his throat and acting like a joke is not what I personally want to see. If he was at least serious I could maybe 'get it' but right now it isn't working for me. And I also don't care right now because Todd and Starr are supposedly both off GH soon so how can anyone even be invested? Frankly I hope the writing for Todd is better on OLTL. I'm not saying he has to be a dark monster, and I like him bickering with John, and others. Todd is such a mess right now I don't eve know what I want him to be. I feel like he's different all of the time. And I dislike that Carly's life apparently revolves around Todd, although with AJ/Liz involved and Bobbie coming back it might not be as bad.

I kind of wish Sam would get revenge on Todd. It would be very much karma. I wish they'd make her a constant thorn in his side, thwarting his plots and calling him out on his BS. I would love it if she were helping Carly and exposed this latest scheme involving Todd spying on her

[KMan101]

I wouldnt mind that. Half the time anymore i forget Sam is still on the show.

[rhinohide]

Because John's only purpose is Sam. That's how über necessary John is to GH. He exists only as Sam's hero and protector. So his resemblance to Caleb is ignored. If they made note of it Sam would have to react with at least a hint of revulsion to her attacker's doppleganger. So it has to be ignored completely so they can look longingly at one another.

[ChitHappens]

You mean slurping the Chinese food? All I can do is FF him w/out Carly so that Tarly is not ruined for me. If character development was still in fashion, this would be another opportunity to move Todd forward. He skates from his latest crimes, which doesn't bother me, but nothing has changed for him. TIHIC believe that all they need is Roger, and that is fine. Todd does not have to change. All he has to be is funny. I got news for them! He's wearing very thin. To make Todd relevant, yes they've revolved Carly's whole world around him. That is not ok with me!

[DRW50]

That's what he's always been. It's one of the reasons he tends to turn my stomach if I think about him too much.

[ChitHappens]

That's what the "writers" do so that they don't have to develop Todd. I understand that developing characters and writing original stuff is hard work, but isn't that what writers are supposed to do? There is never a next chapter with Todd. NEVER!

[AlexElizabeth]

I'm just tired of Todd's OTT comedy routine every day. How many times did he mess up AJ's name this past week? It would've been fine if he did it once but they had to overdo it and have him mess it up like 6 times. DJ, BJ, OJ, TJ, LL uncool J, RJ. Oh wow, so funny. I think I just peed myself a little bit. And then we have Frank tweeting about how Todd with the donuts was so hysterical. This fool can't leave soon enough for me. I bet his exit will be leaving PC to go to clown college.

At least Rafe has a new shirt on now. All is right with the world.

[MissLlanviewPA]

I KNEW that would make you happy!

[DRW50]

IMO this is most of what Howarth can do as Todd when he's not playing a dark Todd (and he hasn't played a dark Todd in many years). Considering that he and Carly are popular, from what I've seen, the show should try to write a more serious relationship, and GH fans would probably be OK with it. But I don't think that will happen.

[R Sinclair]

Well, that's been proven it can't be done under this "writing" staff. None of these relationships can be taken seriously even when they're attempting to write them that way. Carly/Johnny, Sonny/Konnie, Kristina/Trey, Sam/McBain, Maxie/Uterus... etc.

[ChitHappens]

See Carl, I think they are "writing" Tarly very serious. The problem is Todd when he is not with Carly. He's a complete clown and I can't stand the sight of him. This is the second time Todd has separated a child from its mother, and the best they can do is have him slurping Chinese food so that we can laugh? Granted the second child stealing wasn't as heinous as the first, but this should have changed this character. Todd has not yet reflected on any of his wrong doings, but when FRon need for us to sympathize with Todd, we have to hear about his horrible childhood. It's just awful! In the process of trying to win back Carly, I'd like to see this man ask himself a few questions. Nothing Todd has done has affected him one bit and that is absolute garbage!
