Just another embarrassment from FRon. The energy put into the 3 and keeping them while GH turns into a campy joke is ridiculous! I've read about how they had Carly tap dance around mentioning Todd. Two of the 3 took up alot of airtime and given romances built from the bottom up only to have them abruptly leave and not mentioned again (for the time being). Michael asked Carly if she was ok on a show last week, and for the life of me, I wanted to shoot somebody. Why allow Michael to ask Carly that if she cannot say why? Michael's been up Starr's ass for an entire year, yet he can't even say her name or where she is (not that I mind). It's just such a sloppy mess. Ratchet! If 1/2 the effort put into those 3 were put into GH as a whole, this show would be off the chain! I wouldn't ever need a rewind button or a barf bucket while watching.

Praise jesus!

Today's show was kinda lame. I worked an early shift today, so I could see my Brenda live and they didn't even show VM. Fail on my part. And, yes, my co-workers think I am a loser for planning my work day around a soap opera. The relish story is just going on and on. I liked Carly/Bobbie today, but why oh why are we flashing back to Niz? Sigh....and poor Michael. What kid wants to talk about their dad's love life? Awkward. Plus, did I miss something? S&B's marriage fell apart because Brenda had feelings for Jax? Is Sonny still on that nonsense? And after spending months and months on this Kate/Connie stuff, why didn't they show us the decision onscreen to get treatment? I have a bad feeling they are integrating her super fast and off-screen to be in a triangle of suck with Sonny and Brenda.

It's so bizarre. Konnie's decision to get treatment is sort of the climax of the story and it was all done off-screen. I hate the Konnie story, but I feel like I would have liked to have seen the choices behind her finally getting treatment. And, honestly, they don't mention Jax or Brenda for months and months, but are all about dropping anvils today? Could RC do it a little more organically, so the talk of Jac and especially Brenda wasn't so out of the blue?

I thought Connie did decide to get treatment onscreen. It was in those scenes with MB a couple weeks ago that were basically the only truly good, human scenes in their entire horrible storyline. Then she disappeared and now we're being told she is in "therapy" offscreen.

That's a typical Ron decision though. He doesn't show the treatment.

I'd rather not see the treatment, the less oversaturation of this character the better IMO

    • John Black actually was the ultimate good guy soap hero. So I don’t mind the town gushing over him. It’s deserved.
    • Be glad it wasn't a Perry production.

    • I love my girl, but nope he's pathetic. 250K and now he's put her business at risk.   L O S E R

    • The whole town gushing over John Black as if he was a saint is eye rolling.  I guess death really colors people's memories over his many flaws, but I guess that is normal and human nature. I'm still confused as to why Leo hasn't been written out.  The actor stank up two soaps with his sub par acting, what does he have on TPTB's to remain on these soaps.   What's the point of Cat?  I hope the new head-writers figure out her purpose and develop her character. And I much prefer scenes not focusing on John's death because life does go on for the world when someone passes.  
    • Wasn't there a break in Zaslow's first run? I thought Roger was off-screen for a while, and when Zas came back, Roger was hiding at the boarding house and Nola figured out there was something hinkey about him. I'm pretty sure Simon chose to leave the first time and was replaced by RVV. I don't want to assume Jordan's issues played a role in his first departure, but Maeve said in an interview that at some point, it became very hard for her to work with him and she asked to work with him less. That seems to fit 1986, where suddenly Vanessa is essentially Ross' law clerk and not at every Lewis family moment.
    • He needs to divorce her arse with her constant cheating.   She's no better than Doug... she's F*cking pathetic.
    • I didn't know of any interruptions for Maeve Kinkead after her 1997 return. Her runs would then be 1981-1987, 1989-1996, 1997-2000, short arcs until the end. I knew Maureen Garrett second run was interrupted from a 2009 interview but I couldn't recall the exact year. Her runs would then be 1976-1980, 1988-2000, short arcs until the end.
    • As I said in May, I have no problem with Martin and Bradley being married. You can still do all the fun introloper storylines with them as you do everyone else. Both men of a certain age, and it is very believable for them to have either a first love or have been previously married. And, you can do it without either of them cheating!

       I said something similar during the premiere week. Bill was the perfect age to play Martin as Vernon and Anita's child. I would've much preferred this version, but oh well.
    • I don't know how you want to count Maeve. She "retired" in '00, but would come back for appearances. I don't know however if she made an appearance in '01 or '03. In '02 I believe she came back for Josh and Reva's wedding. I assume she came back when Gina Tognoni took over the role of Dinah. And I know she was back for Ross' memorial service. Maureen Garrett was around until at least '00. I don't think Holly was in town when Ben returned though. I just got pissed off about Jerry all over again.
