GH50: November 2013 Discussion

[Antoyne]

Franco's been back less than a year and his history has been changed how many damn times already?

[TeamEric]

ARGHHHHHHHH I hate to defend Ron on anything but Jason and Franco's DNAs were never tested against each other. Sam re-ran a paternity test for Danny against both Jason and Franco's DNA and Heather intercepted it. She then swapped the results to read Franco. Since Jason & Franco are still 2nd cousins through the Grants, that explains why Franco was match for Danny's bone marrow

Oh and Ron telegraphed Heather being his mommy last year. He all but painted a neon sign when Heather flew into a rage at Olivia dissing Franco. Then Heather had that weird azz talk with Steven about all her regrets and I figured suspicious Olivia would feret out her secret. I don't get why fans are surprised frankly it's just more of Ron's sledgehammer writing. RH's first scene as Franco was visiting Heather and RM been playing Heather as maternal all along.

I've never been a Scotty fan but ITA with others that KS deserves better than stuck propping up RH's whimpering, pathetic Franco.

The real travesty here is, love or hate him, James Franco created a psycho with a dangerous mystique about him, but Ron's rendition reduces him to the same schmoopy, de-fanged and goofy Todd we've seen for a decade from RH. ATWT started off writing RH a dark and complex Paul then tossed that out after 9 months and the rest of RH's years Paul was a goofy, schmoopy Todd version, too. Whether RH refuses to play a DARK, sexy character again or he's lost those dramatic chops, I don't know. But this is his 3rd character in a row reduced to a pathetic, goofy mess.That's more upsetting than the crap Ron wrote Friday. Changing his parents isnt changing that the characterization is the problem here.

Olivia kissing Sonny's azz is as annoying as Skate were. But I really like BC as Morgan, that kid is a real find and I cheer every time he slams down punk whining Michael and gets in Kiki's face about lying to him.

What happened to MW? She started off so strong and ruthless as Ava the sniper and now a nervous, worry wart mess of a powerless woman. Yuck Sonny's super sperm in Morgan ruining another female.

Smug Derek/Juian doesn't work for me. It makes me want Sonny to take him down a peg.... arghhhhhhhhh and I can't stand rooting for Sonny.

[Antoyne]

The thing is, on the OLTL reboot RH toned down the goofy significantly and actually played a decently serious Todd.

[Cheap21]

he reminds me of Rex Baldwin, um I mean Balsom

[TeamEric]

PP's Todd toned down some the Jerry Lewis comedic goofy schtick, but it leaked thru in scenes like getting his nails done. PP's Todd was pathetically whining all the time and schmoopy, too. Their version wasn't remotely dark or dangerous.

That's my problem with his Franco. Even before the de-tumoring, the character was a pathetic joke poisoning RELISH. Instead of playing up the dark vibes and making Franco a real force to be reckoned with, NO ONE was scared of him b/c he was a joke.

[AlexElizabeth]

I can't wait until the next reveal where we find out Franco's parents are really Native American.

[Khan]

I actually hope that will be the case.

[alexisfan07]

I mean why Heather was so obsessed with Jason and Sam and seeking revenge on them for Franco's death. But he wasn't dead and she knew that. Unless she was trying to get the Q money? I haven kept track of this storyline at all.

[cassadine1991]

This all screams of rewrite, a very bad one to say the least

[Cheap21]

Heather's obsession with going after Sam has always revolved around that stupid letter she didn't deliver

[rhinohide]

It's hard to be dark when your daughter is picking out chartreuse nail polish for you to wear.

[dragonflies]

I am dead and buried lol!!!!

And RC's response

Ron Carlivati @roncarlivati 1h

@carlivatiron: @JohnStamos @valentinifrank @maddiebullock19 Yes, I remember it well. But for some reason you seem determined to rewrite the narrative.

[greens_dupres]

Holy crap, now he's fighting with John Stamos? Wonders never cease.

[cassadine1991]

And look at the people on RC's side saying that Stamos doesn't remember he came from GH and BS like he's bitter
