GH 50: Discussion for the Month of April - May 3, 2013

[ChitHappens]

Yeah, Richard Simmons!!!! Embarrassingly bad! Really aweful!

[VirginiaHamilton]

You and I will have to agree to disagree about the propping of Lily post-ClickBoom, as the only impression that I'd gotten from this show was that she was a crutch for the show to depict Sonny as the man that he used to be way back when (one with a conscience who was still haunted by having her and his unborn child's blood on his hands) - even as the shitty writing undermined that.

That said, I'll concede that I didn't know that Sonny voiced that J&B stupidity out loud after Brenda left him in the dust since I left this show right behind her. That alone should've prompted my Robin to tell him to STFU.

I'll also add that I'm glad that this past marathon aired (and will re-air) because it completely obliterates the pile of bullshit that showkiller Guza/cryptkeeper Frons/bootleg Janet Wood have been trying to spin into gold about Brenda/S&B for years. I'd only had my clear and fond memories of my favorite GH couple of all time (along with YT clips to support that) before, but it was wonderful to relive the beautiful memories on my television screen.

[R Sinclair]

I won't go that far... but I'll concede he does look less androgynous now that [name omitted by Prospect Park] is no longer attached to his side like a gaudy clutch purse on Tony night.

You're brilliant! You hit the nail on the head!

[ChitHappens]

Johnny stood in the middle of the hospital room consumed by guilt and told the free world that he killed [ 's] family, [ ] and [ ].

Is this funny and ridiculous as hell to anyone else? FRon, what idiots!

[Marco Dane]

I rather see Johnny's mob then Sonny's

[AlexElizabeth]

Richard Simmons was good for a laugh at least.

[KMan101]

Johnny was so wasted over the years. I think a lot could have been done with him. I think a Johnny/Lulu/Dante triangle could have gotten a lot of mileage.

[R Sinclair]

OMG! I didn't even think about that! That's sooooo true! Johnny's in prison for killing people that never existed!

[R Sinclair]

A little of that went a verrrrry long way... and unfortunately we had a LOT of that.

Nevertheless, I stayed with it through the song. Then listening to Lucy and Miss Simmons bitch and fight saying the same thing over and over again for what seemed like a 3 minute scene: "Change the song!" "I won't change the song!" "Change the song!" "I won't change the song!" made me realize this was gimmicky stunt casting at its worse.

[Marco Dane]

That is true is the continuity of OLTL and AMC broken since it no longer associated with GH

[R Sinclair]

That's a good question. In my opinion, and I really don't care about OLTL, it seems that since ABC and Prospect Park couldn't come to an agreement to share the characters that their histories on GH should be irrelevant. If everything over the last year with these characters can't even be legally mentioned on GH then there should be no point in preserving that year over on OLTL. I do find it convenient, however, that the character who was involved with Michael is now back in Los Angeles, which is where that character was coming from in the first place. So maybe that could be a subtle tipping off point that she's been there this whole time and nothing's happened at all in Port Charles.

Ethan

They might as well keep this as the new opening

[alexisfan07]

Well, the opening was the same. Guess Alexis is SOL! Lol

Good to see so many familiar faces

[KMan101]

Ew. Ethan. Really?

My guess is they probably wanted Lucky and JJ.

Audrey <3

Alan EMILY!!!
