GH50: October 2013 Discussion

Sonny was so laughable yesterday. Perhaps because I'm a bit disenchanted with him right now, everything he does will rub me the wrong way, but did anyone find him to be someone that needs to be feared by anyone else, let alone other mobsters? Then they waste time on that silly conversation about Carly knocking 17 years later?! GMAFB! What about a heartfelt thank you to Carly for being there for you at your darkest hour?! I swear, TIIC believe that substance is a thing of the past. Idiots!

Morgan is wearing very thin on my nerves right now. I'm finding no reasons to sympathize with him. Carly is so afraid for Morgan because he is now written in the image of her. She knows, from experience, just how low he can go. Loved that dress!

Julian's "what is it now" as he goes to see who's at the door and removes his shirt! Huh? If anything, because you don't know who's knocking, why not button up? As good as his body looks, the scene was ridiculous. Who takes their shirt off when they don't know who is at the damn door? Ron is so ridiculous in his need to have these guys naked all the time!

Elsa, I agree. I think Tracy was tossed in and was not initially written for this adventure, and this just might be the confirmation I was looking for [you know who won't be returning] biggrin.png I can live without Tracy's horrible ass, but I would do cartwheels on the expressway during rush hour if I knew matter of fact the drone was out for good (the recast mop was much better)!

Is it me or was Tristan Rogers a bit extra crispy yesterday? That George Hamilton tan is not for Daytime!

Robin Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

Cartoon villains in the lab was just not must see!

Happy the Lante story is back today. Give Dante his damn daughter!

I am wondering if Youtube will have today's full episode. Maybe it aired in its entirety in Canada and can get put up online. I am very interested in this potential legal battle between Maxie&Spinelli and Dante&Lulu. The Falconeris shouldn't have a case. They need to put the baby's needs ahead of their own, and give her back to her real parents. No adoption papers have been signed, and there is no reason for this child to be adopted.

All their hunks tend to be waxen, putty-faced, flat-assed, and wearing the same pair of underwear passed from one confused Ken doll to another. I am generally repulsed by these men, especially because there is zero variety. It's all dated and dreary.

If a soap could ever turn me straight it would be a "Cartini" soap, without question.

They all have a OLTL look about them to me.

Yeah many people dislike/ or decide for whatever reason not be parents; as an educator I've seen parents who dislike their kids LoL (and kids who dislike their parents as well). Like I said they spent so much time showing this women treating a kid horridly and I don't recall anything to show me her new attitude. I assume her pregnancy would change her but it would be nice to get a little POV re: that.

I just thought it odd to choose a profession like a pediatrician and you don't like kids; ITA little Emma is a serious pain; don't care for the kid or Britt so I was good.

one reason that can be given of the twists and turns is that its a "developing story" so its .... changing constantly.

I just wish there was some variety. Morgan is such a Ford clone. Julian is OK and Shawn takes off his shirt every once in a while, but mostly it's a generic mannequin making "who farted?" faces.

And the way the show does this is so forced and sterile. Soaps in the 80s knew how to make shirtless guys actually seem hot. There was a certain anticipation and atmosphere.

Geary TV Guide interview with Michael Logan. LnL fans are going off on Twitter. LOL

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Checking Out?

General Hospitals Luke Spencer is slowly dying from Polonium poisoning. What better time to interview the guy who plays him, seven-time Emmy winner Anthony Geary?

ML: What's the trick to making us believe that Luke is at deaths door when we know damn well they'd never get rid of you?

TG: That's very kind, but , in the soap business , everyone is expendable. That said, I'm not sure the audience does buy this. When that ex-KGB agent Alexander Litvinenko was poisoned with polonium a few years back--they think by Putin---he was covered in gruesome sores. It's a hellish death. I really wanted to go there, but they wouldn't let me. (Laughs) I do love to look bad.

ML: Assuming Luke survives, is his romance with Tracy (Jane Elliot) one for the ages?

TG: Their relationship is gold and a joy to play. It's fraught with dysfunction and conflict, but I think they really do love each other. The good thing is, they will never have children.

ML: What do you say to the Luke and Laura diehards?

TG: The past is best left in the memory. Nothing stays the same except butterflies under glass. The [viewers] you speak of have always wanted Luke and Laura happy and growing old together like Ward and June Cleaver. They're like a child who never got over his parents' divorce and lives in perennial hope that mommy and daddy will get back together again. That is not going to happen. The audience needs to let it go and find interest in tomorrow instead of yesterday.

    • And they've given us plenty. Sets, outdoor scenes, music licensing, etc. And that was the point of me using DAYS... so. It's obvious the casino set is not intended for long-term use, hence why it's likely it wasn't as evolved as the other community sets, etc.

    • I just had thought of how to save the Perkins family. (Inspired by Rituals) -- What if Marisa Perkins was Augusta Lockridge's sister? Fictionally, they could've both been local girls, one married rich and one married poor. Originally, I was going to suggest that Marisa be Sophia's sister, but then I realized Joe and Kelly would've been first cousins.  Of course, it would've truly inspired Sophia was if Rosa Andrade sister, with Rosa and Santana moving in to help CC raise the kids once Sophia disappeared.  While this could've avoided both gross CC and Santana affairs, the times were not right for a story about intersectional inequity.
    • https://www.instagram.com/p/DJxW5DLJLId/ Another World is my forever favorite soap opera. But it's finale is almost universally hated by its fans. What this is, is an edit where I've deleted everything I didn't like!!!
    • The Perkins family had potential to be a nice alternative to the more dysfunctional Capwells and wackier Lockridges... but I think a few factors did in the family. 1) Recasting of Joe Perkins 2) Bad casting of the Perkins Patriarch, and the one note writing for that character. 3) Lack of antagonistic interaction between the Capwells/Lockridges and Perkins.  (There was no awkwardness between Jade/Ted.. or CC disapproving of his son being friends with that Perkins girl, etc). 4) Wasting of Jade thus wasting the potential of the actress (which was realized on Days of Our Lives).  She had more potential than Laken oddly enough. The only member of the Perkins family that had appeal and a somewhat thought out story arc was Amy.  
    • @GymnastGuyThanks for posting the three new Capitol 1985 episodes today. The two labeled March 12, and 13 are misidentified. The March 12 labeled one actually aired November 12 1985 which I figured out because Kenny Rogers' movie Wild Horses aired November 12th and it was announced over the "March 12" Cap credits. In addition, Craig Carlson is listed in the April credits but not the March. Craig left Capitol sometime after July 1985 before he rejoined OLTL in the credits by October 15, 1985; he was replaced on Cap by Radcliffe and Hamner. In these posted episodes Radcliffe/Hamner names appear in the March 85 episodes but not in the April.

    • 5-15   And now...back to the A plot. I can't say enough about how great this week has been that I've been enjoying the fallout from the SilkPress/Eva reveal. I can't believe that it's been almost a week, and it is STILL going on. And they are playing every beat. And rightfully so. It's a strength to the story that this episode is full of mostly those beats with one (okay 2) C plots. I loved how this episode seem centered on dealing with the Bill of it all from his reactions to the reactions of the ones who actually care about him. And meanwhile, Kat getting a clue and connecting it back to the plot thread of Laura's accident.    Game recognizes game. My way of saying I loved Bill vs Silk Press Sheila. They have great adversarial chemistry. And I loved that Bill not only gave the heads-up to NuTed, but already figured out that Ted had paid her off. A dumbed-down villain Bill definitely is not. And awww at Naomi walking in on him and NuTed. lol. Like father, like daughter cuz they both stay reading people. Also loved the scene of Naomi and Chels together discussing their feelings about their father in light of the reveal.    It's so sad to see Kat thinking in the right direction and STILL took a wrong turn. That said...great to see the Laura plot thread picked up and Kat moving to get to the bottom of it. It's just sad that her strong disdain toward Eva is blinding her to the real threat. Makes her easy prey for SilkPress to manipulate and harder for Eva to get acceptance if people still think she's up to no good. Also intensifies their rivalry. Kat vs Silk Press Sheila was reaaallly good, too. The direction. The camera angles. The lines. Even got background music.

      And...HAHAHA I love how SilkPress Sheila reacts to the word 'crazy' the same way Sheila herself reacts to the word 'bitca' right before one of her catfights on B&B. Honorable mention to another SilkPress vs Eva scene where Eva avoids the gaslight and that Andre/Eva scene where he continues to be there for her.    And speaking of the reveal...now that I've seen the full episode...I've warmed to NuTed a bit. I thought in the brief scene I saw on my busy Thursday that he did what I love when a role gets recast. The actor uses some of the mannerisms of their predecessers, but not do a complete parroting of them. And that I felt he pulled off well. It allows for the actor to slowly enter their own vibe to a role and make it their own. And so far...I felt Keith was still...Ted. Love the scenes with NuTed/Kat. But time will tell if I feel he will make it his own.   The only good thing I can say about that Andre/Ashley scene...they both have gotten comfortable in their roles, and it was nice to see. I'm Team Dani/Andre over here. That said...I actually am loving the C plot of Ashley, Derek, and the apartment because they are finally getting drama. And I'm actually Team Derek though I completely understand where Ashley is coming from. Thankful that we got that phone call with her mother for her POV and background life. She really is not used to living with someone and what that is like. And it's relatable. But she's handling it all the wrong way. As for their overall place on the canvas though, I can't help, but think about what I said in the first week...they are just meta to me...getting the development...or lack thereof...that black characters get on other soaps...just in reverse.    Awww at June saying that she just finds the picture lovely. I don't completely believe her hehe, but it was nice.    The anvils about Eva's birthday...smh. lol.
