GH50: Week of June 17 Discussion

[ChitHappens]

Carly would usually be all up in Sonny's face telling him to shove it and reminding him how they are always there for one another. Sonny knows Carly is not afraid of him. Plot driven trash is the worst!!!!

Perhaps, she feels really bad about Liv, but that does not justify Sonny's behavior. This is pure rotgut!

Sam's kid is the only thing that makes her slightly appealing or interesting. The foster son? Not so much.

[Eric83]

I'm sick of this clown bouncing around.

Still don't understand why this man and his daughter KaKa are gettinv ELQ shares with no official blood tests nor legal involvement

[EricMontreal22]

Morgan to Michael: "Damn! You were raped in jail? You shoulda told me--sorry bro. WAIT< WTF?? YOU TOLD KIKI ABOUT IT???!? HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?!?!!"

[carolineg]

I like Danny. He's cute and Sam's always wanted a kid, so whatever. I don't blame Sam for Rafe. He is so sad looking, he make's Michael appear happy and energetic.

In NYC, first cousins can legally marry. So even if people find it icky there is no legal reason they can't be involved.

[EricMontreal22]

Yeah I believe it is actually legal in more states than not. I had a weird experience doing a play--an awful comedy where there was a cousins incest joke and one of the actresses confided in me that she's married to her cousin... Tough she had some rather VERY soapy story like the met as adults didn't realize they were cousins till after hey had been together a while.

[ChitHappens]

Wow! Did Lulu just throw Carly under ther bus FOR NO APPARENT REASON?!

[allmc2008]

I was talking to the receptionist at my doctors office today about GH. She never goes online and she is really confused with this Todd/Starr/John thing. She had no idea what was going on so I told her. She really hates they did that because a lot of fans like her that don't go on the boards are confused. Since they were with ABC could have they just given them appearances on some of the prime time stuff until there contracts ended??

[EricMontreal22]

They could have simply released them from their contracts. Full stop.

Sonny constantly turning up to warn Carly he's gonna kill her ass makes me LMAO. First of all, Sonny hasn't been a serious threat to anyone in years; Jason was the power behind the throne. Second, we all know he'd never touch Carly. It's just hilarious to watch MB try to sell it like this is 2000.

Sean Blakemore's probably done his best work on the show these last two days. He's been wasted by a show and several regimes who are afraid of a hot, strong black man. He's incredibly charismatic and attractive, but though their scenes were good he should never have been paired with Alexis. Who, I might add, once tried to kill Helena but got Katherine Bell instead.

Rafe looks and acts literally twelve years old. It's creepy to watch him in this context. And again, he's not exactly a street kid as his backstory claims.

[EricMontreal22]

I love Tennessee Williams, and I cringe when he and Molly quote Streetcar to each other (mind you, Molly seems easily fooled, since the two lines they quote are famous to millions of people who haven't even read or seen the play/movie.)

[greens_dupres]

This. The lady who cuts my hair is so confused. She thinks Todd is pretending to be Franco & Silas is a vampire. I couldn't make her understand by the end of my appointment. Then again, she also told me OLTL was supposed to come back to ABC in April so we had a lot of ground to cover.

GH manages to both act like its viewers are stupid and yet expect too much of some of them.

[cassadine1991]

yep but as always the soap media doesn't see it that way

[DRW50]

Sonny probably gives Shawn a pass because Shawn could kick his ass across town.

The way that "Cartini", and the stenos, write the show is that it's all a big joke and you're not supposed to care because it's a soap, soaps are stupid, soaps are just a good laugh, who cares? A lot of fans do care and want to know answers, and they just get laughed at by the show and by the hacks at the soap websites.

One of my friends who doesn't go to soap boards often has questions for me about stories and where something is going, and I try to answer, but I also end up saying, "It's made up as it goes along. They don't care if it makes sense." I don't know what else to say.
