What's even more amazing is how they get at least 10 minute of airtime each time they're on while everyone else gets 3-5 minutes.

LOL. Yup. It seems like they get these 'long' (which still aren't long) scenes and everyone else gets a quick 3-5 second clip.

Some official podcasts--radio shows etc are ok by me but these fan ones (and let's not fool ourselves--that's what they are) tend to be ENDLESS and so badly done. You don't have to just blather on. A regular podcast shouldNOT be over an hour (or even half an hour frankly) and some effort should be made into structure--don't just turn on the mic.

So I was away last week so missed GH but so little seems to have happened that I am not even gonna bother trying to catch up or read summaries.

whil i agree these podcasts are terrible i couldnt disagree more about the length of a podcast. girl on guy, nerdist, my new best friend, make it weird just to name a few go anywhere from and hour and half up to three and are great.

Well, it's not just you. The show's in a very bizarre place at the moment, with several of the frontburner stories.

The truth is this didn't have to happen. I would've been for the crossovers for most of the characters, on a limited level - I think it would've been good for both shows for Todd to pop up on GH from time to time, for John to go back and forth or whatever, for Starr to visit home once in a while. But it seems as if GH can't have it all they don't want anything. Franco is a disaster, Silas is just sad and boring and somehow Kiki/Lauren is the least objectionable character, but that's just because she's nothing but Brunette Starr. This has only made things far worse for GH.

But it's far from just about them. The Patrick/Sabrina/Britt/etc. mess has utterly curdled post-Nurses Ball and they've become unwatchable and creepy. The Maxie/Spinelli/Ellie baby saga will never end. The Robin mess has officially gone on far too [!@#$%^&*] long. And Luke, Laura and Scott are basically dayplayers half the time. Then there's the teens, and Sonny, and Shawn and Alexis, and Morgan/Michael/Kiki.

The whole show's a real mess these days. And a lot of it had to do with them overhauling the entire show to try and make those three work, but it started with their refusing to wrap up some key preexisting GH stories. It reminds me a little of how apeshit OLTL went in 2010 and 2011, with the Fords, etc. Almost overnight the show would become both dramatically different and bad in whole new ways. GH with Franco, SIlas, etc. is the same.

This really is a thing of beauty.

They're very lucky, because a lot of vocal people would watch Roger Howarth sing the Jem theme song for an entire 35 minutes a day.

Sounds like you just figured out the next sweeps stunt.

Did anyone ask to see Kristen Alderson tied up in a kinky fashion? Anyone at all? No? I'm shocked.

They're really trying to make Milo happen.....

I don't think I like Nancy's darker hair color

They're really trying to make Milo happen.....

I can't believe we're getting a storyline with him trying to find his calling Oh lord.

PUUUKE at all things Morgan/KaKa/Michael.

The really sad part is its far from my least favorite/most useless plot point right now

Maybe this was a reaction to the online soaps being "edgier" It was all kinds of weird and bad--and please nobody ties someone up in the guest house and then takes off to rummage through a mansion for whip cream.

I know scheming vixens (or even bitches) are a soap staple, and I often love them, but *Doctor* Britt giving Taylor hi-fives on how to win a man (cuz it's been working so well for her) just was so regressive.

Except it's not edgy at all. It's the same old soap schtick. It was merely done as a plot device to get Michael to walk in on Kiki tied up. It's beyond contrived and that's such a pervasive problem with soaps still. I haven't felt the same 'convenience' plotting and pacing with AMC and OLTL, they feel much more natural to me. And thank god for them.

ha did anyone notice during the Sonny/Olivia scene(s) when we see the glass at the door behind Olivia, someone was waving their hand like a director or something lol.

I only noticed it cause it caught my eye

Well said, and absolutely agreed. I mean c'mon--we all knew as soon as she was tied up that Michael would walk in on her (I'm not sure how Michael knew she was out there but I suppose Alice could have told him.) And sorry, Mac and Felicia are not so stupid to realize that giving Emma a baby doll at the moment would not be a good idea...

LOL loved when Britta came to the Drake/Scorpio picnic... she's family!

When's Britta gonna beat up Theresa Sabrina.

It's really disheartening to find that I absolutely dread seeing Emma these days. She's nothing but a tool to show us how wonderful and perfect Sobby is.
