Members Cheap21 Posted October 29, 2013 Members Share Posted October 29, 2013 Alison was on for more than 2 episodes. Besides, they brought on more people than simply her from PC and that's a storyline that went on for weeks. It wasn't a 2 day, pretty much isolated affair How exactly was Ryan's Hope trashed today?

Members ChitHappens Posted October 29, 2013 Author Members Share Posted October 29, 2013 Huge Delia fan here. I named a cat I used to have after her, but I didn't listen to one word from her mouth today. I ff all of it because it is yet another pointless casting that adds absolutely no value to GH. Leave the other goddamn soaps alone, Craptini, and focus on the gift you've been given! [!@#$%^&*] morons! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted October 29, 2013 Members Share Posted October 29, 2013 She was on more than two? I guess I blurred them together. Bringing Delia back and reworking the character just for pointless Ava - to me it disrespects the show unless they have more plans. It could be worse, don't get me wrong, but part of me feels like this is just warming up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted October 29, 2013 Members Share Posted October 29, 2013 How much Delia loved her son & fought for him, she would never deny a child no matter who that dad was. So Delia being Ava's mom and it being a secret is total OOC for Delia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted October 29, 2013 Members Share Posted October 29, 2013 Considering Victor was a dangerous mobster, I bet the story is that he took the child and threatened to kill her and/or her loved ones if she fought him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted October 29, 2013 Members Share Posted October 29, 2013 Delia Reid would fight to her dying breath for her kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted October 29, 2013 Members Share Posted October 29, 2013 Im sure some people felt the same way about Laura Spencer, but we all saw how that turned out with her and Nikolas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted October 29, 2013 Members Share Posted October 29, 2013 And I never liked that either. Im not saying Cartini wont play that Delia Hid Ava as her kid. What Im saying is that IMO, its epic fail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members katie_9918 Posted October 29, 2013 Members Share Posted October 29, 2013 Sure, if the kid was her ticket to the love and acceptance she always craved so much. Otherwise... well, look at who raised John Reid. (HINT: It wasn't his parents, Frank and Delia) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted October 29, 2013 Members Share Posted October 29, 2013 i just dont buy she would deny Ava. She never denied Johnny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted October 29, 2013 Members Share Posted October 29, 2013 Yes, at least in the early years of Ryan's Hope Delia was not a good mother. Mauve raised Little John and Delia used him to manipulate the family. I always saw that as a pretty brave writing choice. It's not very often a soap shows a mother who is actively uninterested in parenting. In fact, Rodger pretty much told Delia that she was more interested in herself and having fun then raising a child and that he liked her for it because he was the same. Frank was just as bad, but he gave lip service to fatherhood at least. I can't speak to the later years because SoapNet didn't run them, so it's possible Delia changed.

Members Cheap21 Posted October 29, 2013 Members Share Posted October 29, 2013 If that's the case then its certainly understandable why she wouldn't have fought Victor considering how you described how uninterested she was in her own son. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted October 29, 2013 Members Share Posted October 29, 2013 The difference now is that Gh may having her deny Ava as her kid. No matter how selfish Dee was when Johnny was a baby, she never denied she was his mother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted October 29, 2013 Members Share Posted October 29, 2013 Well, like i said she might have changed in later years, but the only times in the early years she fought for him was when she thought Frank and Jill were going to set up house. Other than that she was perfectly fine with him staying with his grandparents. I never had the impression she wanted to raise him day to day.

Members John Posted October 29, 2013 Members Share Posted October 29, 2013 I look at those 1975-79 episodes and see Delia as an early version of Days' Sami Brady. Dee like Sami loved her son but was all about doing whatever to get the man she had her sights on to love her and in both characters cases it came from low self esteem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
