GH50: January 2014 Discussion - HAPPY NEW YEAR!

[Ryan Chamberlain]

Oh, okay. I didn't know Vee was joking. It's fine.

[Antoyne]

Wow...

[rhinohide]

Yeah! Ducking in. Ducking back out.

[chicklitsandfantasies]

I don't think she was joking. Every time someone new comes on people say that person should be Anna's long lost child with Duke

[Cheap21]

really? Even though it makes little sense that they could have a child together? How far along in her pregnancy was she when she miscarried?

[KMan101]

You think the sainted one cares? I keep waiting for their baby to show up alive. Ron drops hints for everything. Just a matter of when Mr. SOAPY Gooodness chooses to pick up on his threads.

[KMan101]

Ugh. HE'S back. At least Carly and Ava are finally sharing a scene.

Ugh. Morgan. Stop yelling.

Ooh. I'm here for Olivia calling out Franco. She sort of is. At least she finally remembers Steven Lars, who she sobbed for weeks over and then forgot all about when Sonny's feeble ass came calling.

[AlexElizabeth]

Oh, god. Keku is back.

[KMan101]

Today proves Kelly Monaco and Michael Easton now work much better apart. They actually mostly showed up for work. As far as Maurice Benard ... oy. He's gotten so bad. And I think GH has somewhat ruined any liking I had for William deVry as an actor.

I felt like whoever wrote today's episode reads the boards. Seriously. I'm actually enjoying it. Well, some of it. A lot of it sucks and is boring. Molly whining about Rafe, Shawn wanting TJ to go away, Morgan quitting and Julian looking ridiculous threatening him, Nathan talking to Silas, Rafe bad acting around poor Finola Hughes, oy ....

At least the Olivia/Franco and the Carly/Ava, Carly/Michael scenes are fairly good. Michael is livid over Franco and reminding mommy about all of his misdeeds while Franco is seeing Heather while talking to Olivia. RH is so awful. And Kaka continues to be completely useless. Meanwhile, numerous much better actresses are languishing without anything to do.

I think Frank brings out the worst in actors, and the lackluster scripts don't help. But still not a terribly awful episode, honestly.

[Cyberologist]

Thank You!

something interesting a different kind of storyline. Making a mark on the genre; I've always wanted a bisexual storyline, I like Kalinda on The Good Wife, I don't know if I'm savvy about this lifestyle to know if she is written well. But I venture to say she is...I like the writing for her she has a following (haven't counted but she seems to be well received)

she fell for Argos one season...the dialog was superb. He still has a thing for Kalinda.

I can't see any reason this couldn't be done on daytime or am I naïve I wonder if this would be a problem.

I remember Adam's story but that' different because he was using the lawyer (forgot his name) and all that which wasn't cool so it wasn't like a real bisexual storyline...although it blew me away they did something different...even if things flop I applaud writers for at least trying to be inventive. Its like this show doesn't even try avant garde stories,,just blah blah

re: Nathan West he looks like my David Gandy's wittle brudda...

I haven't seen enough of him to make a real opinion but first impression

he / Anna scenes, she took him to school but I think there is potential. .. I think he's gorgeous but story comes first with me. I have a weakness for abs, dark haired blue-eyed dudes, maybe I lost my train of thought didn't pay close enough attention to the acting,

the abs threw me off my game...

[KMan101]

The dude playing Nathan isn't completely awful. I'll give him a little time.

Hehe. I love how Michael basically called Carly stupid to her face. THANK YOU. Carly absolutely deserved to be called out by him today. Finally. "I thought you were smarter than that" ... lol

And I have to give RH some credit actually, I laughed at his delivery of the line "LSD ... the gift that keeps on giving" when he and Olivia were discussing hallucinations.

So Heather is in the elevator with Carly and we end on that ominous note, after of course making Carly look even more stupid, if that's possible, and then GH goes and spoils their ending by showing Carly dropping the Franco bomb on Sonny. SMH.

[ChitHappens]

This is how it should be playing out. Carly has to answer for her decision to be with FrankenTodd. I, however, would have written it so that Carly gave up the relationship but was in agony because she couldn't be with this man. Of course, we must have the plot driven sh!t that steers everything these characters do.

Michael had already said months ago that he didn't hold FrankenTodd responsible for the rape. FrankenTodd saved his life, so they should have written this to not be a hostile confrontation with Carly refusing to budge (I haven't seen it yet, but the TL is very informative).

All that is happening now is for the sake of what is coming next, which is why they have Olivia [the woman screwing the man who put a bullet in her son's chest] piling it on FrankenTodd.

[Cyberologist]

OK yeah new dude is green, I confess I confess

the acting off Silas was herky jerky he did much better with Maxi/Anna.

Huh? so Carly goes to Ava 'you don't know how hard Sonny and I worked to keep Morgan out of the mob"

Oh. really, like when Sonny was totally out of the mob

(during Karpove storyline but he's had several out of the mob storylines)

when Jason took over Stumpy lurked around moping then got himself purposely back in because he was bored, you mean when he worked that hard.?

Is Olivia' hair a different color? Ombre. Who is Franco' daddy? Elizabeth gets no scene regarding this psycho is her brother's brother? Poor poor Elizabeth they won't include her in anything except pimping and propping that horrid Sabrina... Julian/Derek whatever is name is the absolute worse mobster I've ever seen.

[KMan101]

I was enjoying the scenes too much to think about all of this but you are of course absolutely right. It's of course plot driven. Ron's transparent as hell.

[KMan101]

You missed the Scotty Baldwin/Heather Webber parented Franco scenes? Truly awful and ridiculous.

And it's sadly Liz who? at this point. She'll be around when Nik needs someone to hump. Ron's already had Liz circling and snarking on Britt. Something's going to happen. He's just not using her until he has a plot for her, which is awful writing.
