GH50: December 2013 Discussion

[YRBB]

Thursday:

Felix, you drama queen! Sabrina's just being dramatic, she hasn't disappeared. And Patrick just applies some pressure and Felix spills? Great best friend

Now that I've seen Carlos shirtless, I'm cured of my attraction. Just... no.

Wow, I almost felt something for Sonny when he was talking about the night Lily died. Please slap me. But how lame is this: If they're related, he'll spare him. If not, he won't. Brilliant writing right there.

I enjoyed Robin and Anna's scenes, although there wasn't nearly enough astonishment and warmth and shock at what has happened. But I agree with Anna... Patrick couldn't have just turned to Sabrina and told her to take a hike, although that would probably have been a classic scene. Classic.

Maxie wants to kill herself? Here, have some more pills, bitch! I could not stand her "acting" throughout. Really terrible. And, seriously, she can't control herself so she just wants to die? I really hope we're not meant to feel sympathy for her. Georgie's appearance carried emotional weight and it was lovely when Robin sensed her. And I liked how we heard the suicide note while Maxie was settling down, although the contents of the note itself were horrible. She can't even write a proper suicide note!

Of course Patrick shows up as soon as Carlos and Sabrina kiss. If it ends them an episode sooner, good!

LMAO! Love it, YRBB!!!!!

Maxie's scenes were an obvious plot point joke! I only watched Francly scenes today, but I am about to watch the rest. Maxie and Robin? Let me go get some coffee so I can keep awake - hell, I'm not even a coffee drinker, but sometimes I make exceptions.

If it was me I'd pivot Robin towards her own affair with Nikolas, maybe a year or nine months down the line. But I think you have to give Scrubs real time together first.

I thought Maurice was actually good when he talked about Lily - the bit where he corrects himself and said he was drinking that night but she wasn't was very real, and I suspect it was ad-libbed. Of course I saw that episode again for the first time since junior high when they showed it on SN in the spring, and the memory is vivid. MB is a much weaker actor than he used to be, but I will give him credit for acknowledging his changed role on the show under the new regime and giving it his full commitment, even if he's often not very good.

[AlexElizabeth]

Yeah. I'm now sure why we needed a whole episode of him shirtless.

[Vee]

Did y'all notice they made a point to say he was subletting Milo's apartment?

What a pity we were spared the major Milo/Amnesia Lulu storyline of the summer due to negative feedback. Although it apparently would've involved the similarly scrapped Deception stuff, which is why he finally quit working for Sonny.

[YRBB]

THIS. That's what got me and almost made my stony hard melt. It was a truthful, honest moment of the sort we almost never see anymore.

That's what I kept thinking... there was NO reason for him not to be wearing that black t-shirt from the beginning. And a "muscle" with no muscles? How would he even win in a physical altercation with Sean? Poor Jerome is screwed.

If only Franco can go back to his old ways, this is a,character that should.NEVER be rehabilitated

[Nate4]

LOLOLOL

[Nate4]

Looks like Chit's prediction in Vee's signature is really gonna happen now that Franco's a school teacher!

[dragonflies]

I honestly don't' know how Maurice doesn't cringe saying his lines, given what a joke Sonny is

Sonny calling anyone a low life makes him even more ridiculous

[ChitHappens]

I fully suspect Mo sobs uncontrollably upon receipt of his scripts.

[Soapsuds]

Have we forgotten what he looks like shirtless...I cringe.....use to have a crush on him but then the shirt came off...and the crush went quickly away.

[Vee]

Sonny's been a joke since looooonnngggg before this regime. We're talking ten years at least. They just properly marginalized him, albeit not so much recently.

I happen to think Dominic looks lovely.

Friday:

God... we went from Carlos and Sabrina kissing to Franco and Carly... from one disgusting kiss to the next! I liked the chocolate scene... I thought the dialogue there worked. But then they did all the innuendos about Carly being stuffed, the stress relief, all just too icky and unsexy and disgusting. You can just imagine Carlivati fapping at the thought of Roger Howarth filling up somebody.

Robin managed to make Maxie so much more likable. I laughed SO hard at the slap. Wish she had repeated it a few more times. "You're not going to slap me are you?"

I've noticed them doing this many times and it was certainly done in this episode as well: I hate how they keep referencing past events in a very direct, loud and almost joking way: "My father was killed in a shoot out." "Yeah, well, MY father raped five virgins and climaxed on top of a mountain." All these characters are walking around, talking about their various soapy lives almost as if they're making fun of them and it really does sound ridiculous when you lay it all out. On top of that, the actors aren't even trying to act out the fact that it's all ridiculous--they just mouth off the list and move on. Sigh. I don't know if I'm making any sense but, when recounting history, it's always safe to be subtle.

I thought Sean Kanan looked gorgeous, but could that courtroom be any emptier? On top of that, his trial was more about everyone else than him. He almost seemed like an extra lmao

Surprised there is no connection between Carlos and Lily and that it was all found out so quickly. I expected them to drag it out. Guess Carlivati needs some exciting soapy action! Cue the shoot-out and Sabrina crying uncryingly by his bed, leading to oral sex and the start of their reunion. (Barf)

Random question, but has Sabrina actress had botox? Her forehead is ridiculously rigid, flat and shiny. It never moves. I spent most of her scenes just staring at it, transfixed. And I'm not understanding Patrick's racist remarks, although I enjoyed the (badly staged) punch.

Nice cliffhanger, though.

I. Can't. Breathe........

[Mr. Vixen]

What was the cliffhanger? LOL
