May 20, 201312 yr Member They never had to just survive on what made them popular in 1977. Anymore than any other beloved vet on this canvas, least of all Luke, who's far more played out at the moment IMO (though GH did a good thing giving him hell on Friday). They changed with the times and became that much more popular and beloved over the years, in the '80s, the '90s and so on. When they're in scenes that aren't all about this mess, they're fine IMO. Except for their wardrobe, God. Edited May 20, 201312 yr by Vee
May 20, 201312 yr Author Member Spencer is just so damn adorable! Lulu's dress?! And that was chose because why?! They are married. YAY! Now leave!!!!!
May 20, 201312 yr Member Why is Scott dressed like the cruise director on the Love Boat? As I said, this whole thing is an obvious feint for the way back to L&L.
May 20, 201312 yr Member I've seen some spec that she's lying because now Laura and Scott won't be legally married. Oh that's a good guess and I can see happening.
May 20, 201312 yr Member Watching the end of last week. I love Denise Alexander and I am so glad to have her here, really, but she is dressed and performing like some sort of deranged pirate muppet. Heaving and huffing around. Why are Laura and Lesley wearing matching cheap chain-link jewelry? I thought she was fine in some parts and then oh-so-manic in others. Out of nowhere she screeched something like "THAT"S RIGHT!!" when Laura "reminded" her that Scotty way back went to go find her when she was missing. It was like someone had stuck pins in her voodoo doll or something it came out of nowhere.
May 20, 201312 yr Member Why is the reaction to Laura and Scott always so muted? Anytime anyone like Lulu or Nikolas or poor old Dr. Zaius-looking Lesley has brought up obvious [!@#$%^&*] like Rick and the attic, Logan and so on it's shrugged off like "awww, come on, move on..." Give me a break! These should be long, long scenes seriously discussing this [!@#$%^&*], but it feels like they're just waving their finger at the audience and telling us to get the [!@#$%^&*] over it because the insta-plot is more important. It's not. Some of these people have been on this show 20, 30, 40 years. Laura comes off like a mental patient and an idiot, and she's neither, but she's become this genial, bland Stepford Wife telling everyone Scotty has changed. The character was far stronger in 2008. She knows what he did. She knows he came after her in Paris. I have never heard her tell anyone why she loves and wants Scott now, how she got over what he did. And I don't think GF buys it either. And I like Scott as a character but he comes off horrible, he never truly apologizes to anyone - he's just doing his whole grumpy "awww, raspberries!" schtick all day long. I have watched this team for years on two different shows, and I know what they can do when they care more about the overall journey than just the destination. This is not that. It's forcing people to watch a plot point storyline which could work if you take the time - Laura falls for Scott again in an effort to get over Luke - but they don't tell it. They just pat the audience and all the characters on the head for daring to mention the real issues, and no one seriously talks about it at all for longer than five minutes, and it's insane. It makes Laura look horrible. It makes Scott look worse. It's ridiculous! That's the thing. I feel like RC feels he gets a free pass for *mentioning* the horrible things Scotty has done (and its true, many soap writers would just hope audiences would somehow forget such major plot points) and then feels we should all hurry up and move on. What's ironic is much of that stuff could feed compelling soap scenes for weeks. Grr iTunesCanada better upload today's AMC sometime in the next 12 hours to cleanse my palette.

May 20, 201312 yr Member Brava to Jane Elliott. I've been waiting to see Tracy lay on to Luke like that for ages. P.S.: Jordan Price (AMC) should take notes. That's a monologue of how a lady yearns for true love. If Celia can exhibit some of that passion, her story would get somewhere.

That's a monologue of how a lady yearns for true love. If Celia can exhibit some of that passion, her story would get somewhere. Tracy's lived a long life of heartbreak and decades worth of experience never quite finding the right guy. One shouldn't expect to see Celia have that passion bc she is young, naïve and very inexperienced. She hasn't been tested the way Tracy has and really at her age, its mainly superficial bc she doesn't know what she wants; she's discovering things for the first time. Her acting needs to improve, but she shouldn't be looking towards Tracy on inspiration from where her character should be coming from, bc they aren't coming from a similar place
May 21, 201312 yr Member Todd is SO going to be Franco so RH and Pluto can be onscreen daughter and son still...I'm sure ME's character will get over being a non convincing doctor soon enough to join the police force.

May 21, 201312 yr Author Member Roger's hair is an abomination! Absolutely heinous! That was his idea too Now, someone explain to me the last scenes between the Corinthos/Jax family, please. Since this lame story began, Carly's been wailing about not seeing Morgan and she was worried out of her mind. She sees him for the first time, IN YEARS, today, hugs him, tells him off and then leaves him with Michael as she runs out the door? Sonny too? WTF?! Who in the sam hell wrote that? I know we need to move this along (for the life of me, I'm just not sure where the fire is), but it was one of the worst transitions ever! Out with the over 40s and in with Puki and her himbos?! If the smallest bit of quality is a overrated, did anyone else miss the memo? I swear I didn't get it. Can someone PM it to me, please? I should not expect much or anything from FRon, but damn! Must they disappoint at every turn?
May 21, 201312 yr Member Where'd uou see the thing about the hair being Roger's idea? Is he finally doing some sort of press?
May 21, 201312 yr Author Member Where'd uou see the thing about the hair being Roger's idea? Is he finally doing some sort of press? LW did an event over the weekend, and she told the fans. She laughs at the hair and rightfully so.
May 21, 201312 yr Member Its like this show has no emotion. Its pretty much people standing around saying lines. I don't feel anytthing for the characters & I don't see anything that makes me want to watch. With DAYS the dialogue is good. I actually feel something for the characters, I'm rooting for Will to get to keep his baby. GH dosent have anything like that. With DAYS the actors show emotion and you feel something when watching and that plus the good dialogue make me want to watch DAYS and the day to day episodes are enjoyable. I just don't even have the desire the hear the name "General Hospital" anymore. FRon have got to go! We need a new team in charge at GH ASAP otherwise the show won't make it to 51 or 52.
