GH50: December 2013 Discussion

Can Felix gargle glass please? Why was he even on today? The role of extremely annoying, useless characters was already filled by Sabrina and Carlos today. At least Carlos has some appeal. Sabrina is as blah and boring as her overly protective "sista" Felix. Stop trying to make them happen Cartini. They're not going to happen.

Why is Patrick not with Robin right now? Am I seriously supposed to believe he willingly went into work today when he apparently wasn't scheduled?

Sonny has become a joke. If it wasn't for tall, dark and pound me Shawn I would've ff'ed his scenes.

Can we please trade Maxie pad for Georgie?

Even Georgie was like, "I'm done with this twit."

Who greenlighted those endless scenes of comatose Kristen Storms droning on, and on, and on some more, in note form? I'm not sure I have ever seen a scene literally crawl up and die until now.

Suicide is painless, indeed.

Lindsay also was like a whole different actress on AMC, IMO. She had none of those bad Reilly habits - she was wonderful as Cara. If that show would get up and running again she'd still be running it with Debbi Morgan.

I didn't see much of her on ABC but I did feel like she got better and better on PP. The worst moments were what reminded me of Teresa Castillo. The whole thing seems like bargain basement impersonations of emotional states. I didn't buy anything she was selling.

Anyone who wants to see a storyline like this that actually works should look for November and December 1989 episodes of ATWT, when Sierra returned from the dead and her husband Craig was torn between her and his fiancee, Ellie.

Robin looks fine.

Savrina is very beautiful and I envy her hair. So the sweet princess got drunk and spent the night with her ex-boyfriend the mobster. So not Disney.

Felix is VERY annoying. At some point Patrick should tell him that this is none of his business and that he should go to the lab and play house with Asian Felix.

Isn't Savrina related to Lily? Wasn't Juan Lily's cousin? Please don't make Savrina Sonny's daughter. I think that she will end up being Lily's baby and Britt will end up being Anna and Duke's baby.

Sabrina probably would have worked much better as the bitchy scheming one. I think Castillo could probably play that better than she does the rainbows and sunshine put-upon heroine. Yuck.

And Carl did give the best description ever of Teresa/Sabrina.

I have a feeling their terror rampage would be Carlos muttering at a slightly higher volume, angrily scratching his sand fleas, and Sabrina having asthma attacks of rage, as they dramatically overpronounce each other's names in various locations.

The main problem with TC is not writing at this point (although the writing is awful beyond words), it's lack of authenticity in her acting. Kelli Thiebuald played a bitch and she was awful at it. Only when she became less fake and actressy did she start to register somewhat.

    • I usually don't want Tide placement in the middle of an intense sad scene, but this is an interesting point

    • My own personal ranking of this year's contestants: Greece Luxembourg Latvia France Sweden Italy Switzerland Spain Albania Iceland Austria Israel Estonia United Kingdom The Netherlands Denmark Germany Armenia Norway The Ukraine San Marino Poland Finland Lithuania Portugal Malta
    • BTG joke immediately followed by an AMC joke (same context)
    • Thanks!   Was anyone watching during this time? Wondering how Peggy’s rape played out onscreen. It just seems cruel to subject the Brooks family to this trauma a 2nd time.   Feels like the writers have already given up on the character of Jennifer, even though she sticks around another year-plus. She should be a passionate and fierce protective mother, but instead she seems just reactionary (and not even mentioned in this recap) This was also the case in ‘73 when Chris was raped. The writers are definitely more invested Stuart as the Brooks parent.
    • BTG got another SNL reference at 00:50  CONTEXT (so it isn't misconstrued) in this joke swap segment, Michael Che frequently makes his white cohost Colin Jost read racist jokes written by Che.

    • It's obvious that Israel's presence is a major divisive issue, and this is something that the EBU needs to deal with. According to the now published results Israel got 13 out of a possible 19 max points in the semi-final, and while their song isn't bad there's no way they would get those numbers without some kind of manipulation/political voting. They are clearly using this contest as a way of improving their somewhat tarnished reputation. I know that some people are comparing this to the massive sympathy votes that Ukraine gets and which propelled them to victory in 2022, but I feel that that was a more genuine show of support than this concerted effort from Israel to influence the televoting. I even had an ad on Youtube from Israel in Swedish(!) asking for votes! It might not be against any rules, but it feels a bit icky nonetheless.
    • Yeah, as you wrote, an Israeli win would have been a political disaster. Congratulations to Austria. 0 points from the televoting to Switzerland was a disgrace. Other than that, I really enjoyed the show ... but I'm also glad that Eurovision season is over

    • Hahaha Sorry if I was too negative, I just started typing and typing once I got going hahaha
    • @dc11786 Thanks for taking time to answer my various questions, along with giving your thoughts on the different writing teams. I wonder why they didn't just have Ryder and TR leave together if Jane was going anyway. The discussions over the last few pages have made me more interested in watching these episodes than I have been over the years - without the extra details and analyses provided, these years can be difficult to decipher (not helped by how often Jo seems like a side character).
    • I didn't think this was very good (I've never yet seen a good episode of this revival), but you do get a lot of Michael Stroka. And if you are a Donna Reed Show fan, you also get Paul Petersen.
