Like who, damn this soap needs to cut down.on A LOT of.people

A bunch of people no one will care about and some random retcons lol.

Every week I read about them doing screentests and casting new characters. And for all the screentests they are always doing there is an overall lack of chemistry on this show.

Casting is asleep at the wheel I think when it comes to some of these people they hire.

Franco thinking Carly is his property, like he has a claim to her, sounds like how serial killers are with their stalking victims.. very creepy

again what purpose do Todd, Starr and McBain; sorry Franco, Kiki and Silas have?

  • Member

No. They are Todd, Yawn, and Starr. None of them are even bothering to play anyone else anymore. Everything about Roger yesterday was Todd.

Some GH thoughts:

First of all, to answer my good friend's question: No, I don't want to see Carly in a triangle with ToddQ and Julian. At least not now. And I also don't want to see Julian boxing half-naked again. His body is great and all, I think I have more hair on my body than he does and that is not a very sexy thought. Please grow some hair. Morgan is fourteen years old and he is hairier.

I am sad that it was not Laura who showed up to save Luke. :( I am enjoying the Scorpio storyline a lot and I pretend that I don't notice some stupid things, like does Faison's prison only have one guard? Where were the other people? At the prison cafeteria? FH was good as acting as Obrecht and think I am in love with Robert Scorpio. And I suffer a little bit of Stockholm Syndrome (hello Jerry).

Sabrina running after Patrick and telling him that it was not Robin on the phone? #$%^&*(*^T%$#E%R^&*(%R#@$%^&%^

Who knew? John McBain can smile! And Sam was indeed very beautiful in this episode.

WTF...seriously an Anna mask? How unoriginal. Un a side note , I do love that they at least made reference to the fact that Anna has a sister (her twin Alex). Its too bad about the bad blood between PP and ABC, bc I wouldnt have minded seeing her reprise her role of Alex. I wouldnt have minded Obrecht kidnapping her and using her to trick Faison and to control Anna.

sometimes I still wonder how James E. Reilly would've written GH

he's been ghostwriting for nearly the past 2 years

That boxing thing was stupid. I really should have tuned out the second it started. It was obviously just so Frank and Ron could watch their favorite leading men shirtless in scenes together. Why those two actually sat there and sucked up airtime was beyond me.

ChitHappens, on 15 Oct 2013 - 11:26 AM, said: This is another way Craptini stall. I was mistaken all along. They are not trying to write for/service all these characters, they use each "story" as a stall tactic for another. There is absolutely no reason to not have Anna/Robin on today. Today, they will inch closer to who Derek really is and then sideline it for 3 days. Then we go back to Baby Falconeri in 3 days, which would really be 6 days/eppies, then filler with Felix chasing straight guys/Morgan & Ava [!@#$%^&*] like rabbits - and then the cycle starts all over again. In the meantime, AJ has not been onscreen in a month, but he is in the middle of a murder scandal? Of course, by the time we see him again [if we see him again], the story will have progressed to day 30 of his trial and then he's back offscreen again. As for Genie? God willing!

Is this considered part of "pacing" ?

From the beginning, they've been doing this pattern all along (and getting away with it), with sooo many characters coming and going and this returning from the dead, I just can't. figure out their style of storytelling, I can't get a rhythm on it but still trying though. Afterall, they are heralded as the bestest in soaps, it has to be me; and just don't know what a story is when I see it. I really was interested in Aj' trial, momentum is gone and now, I'm not as interested but still would like to see this storyline play out.

No. They are Todd, Yawn, and Starr. None of them are even bothering to play anyone else anymore.

When they first came on they tried a little harder to make a differentiation but that quickly wore off now, NONE, no effort whatsoever.. didn't watch much of OLTL so I don't know much about how their characters acted within the last 6 years.

The punching bag noises so close to the mic remind of the fan in Dante and Lulu's place from a few weeks ago. There's a reason high value productions add those sounds to the production later - TO CONTROL AND MINIMIZE. Lawd.

I meant to comment on this last night - the scene where Derek/Julian (what are we suppose to be calling him?) was punching the speed bag was so terrible. The punching sounds were far louder than anything else and I could barely hear the dialogue.

One other thing I meant to comment on - Ava having sexy times with Morgan and imagining freaking SILAS in his place. Bull$#!%. And then Morgan imagining Keku. Reeeediculous!

The boxing was not great, but I didn't hate it. I thought I'd be rolling my eyes, but it was ok. Both seemed to be having fun, and I have to say, Roger needs to keep the scruff and beef up just a bit. Not bloated (Tyler and William), but just a bit more meat.

I'm even enjoying flirty Sam, who now realizes shampoo and soap are her friends. She is having fun and looking forward to dating, and it's nice to see since she's been miserable for 5 consecutive years.

Moron and Ava have grown old and tired, but it was really just a matter of time before the bottom fell out of this. Two weeks was all it took! I gave it a month, but who woulda thunk Craptini would far exceed my low expectations.

Michael and Kaka? I simply do NOT care, but I have to say that when people ask why Michael didn't go ask Carly for a job, I was like "Duh, it's Carly"! The most overbearing mother in GH's history. She would drive him nuts!

Sonny! Go to hell!

Oh, and it's great to know Shawn and Carly had conversations about Derek OFFSCREEN! Bastards!

Elsa, ok. Perhaps not a triangle but Julian could provide angst for Francly? No? Anything to give this story some damn depth! William and I had a bit of a discussion on Twitter this past weekend, and he seemed to be a bit too pleased and asked me some questions that were more hints if anything.

I have a feeling that might have been damage control as viewers weren't reacting the way they were supposed to to the story.

I wouldn't mind Julian causing problems to them and be involved in their story, but I have a feeling that triangles make characters sad and too serious and I am enjoying the Franco/Carly dynamic as it is for now.

Julian has to be more devious and dangerous though. Sometimes I watch him and think that he would make a great love interest for ATWT's Iva in 1994 or he could be a recast Cliff Wilson on Y&R.

I do agree about Sam. It is really nice not seeing her so damn miserable all of the time.
