GH50: January 2014 Discussion - HAPPY NEW YEAR!

[Mathewson]

Carly is a lot like OLTL's Blair, though I like Blair a lot for the most part. I go back and forth on Carly. Both good actresses with similar acting styles and both characters constantly make awful decisions in their personal life mainly when it comes to men. It's funny that Roger Howarth characters are involved in both cases. It's sad that Carly was the best part of today.

The actress who plays Olivia has the worst hair! So unnatural and I can't stand her acting tics.

Molly - someone else whose annoying as hell and can't act at all. I like Sam but I can't stand Molly in any capacity.

The non actors playing Morgan and Julian suck the life out of every scene. And I need this mob stuff to be over.

The only time I enjoy bad acting is when it's a supervillain. Mainly an old lady (Margaret Cochran, Irene Manning, Niki Smith since 2002. Sometime Allison Perkins, though she grates a lot.) I wish they had picked a horrendous OTT actress to play supervillain Heather. Partly because all these non-actors are playing characters we're apparently supposed to care about.

It seems Cartini's just getting worse and worse. Ron and Frank need to get new jobs. Better yet, collect unemployment. I don't hate Carly but I can't get past her being the best part of today's show by FAR. At least Sabrina and Felix weren't on today but they might as well have been.

Let the record show that Blair, for all her flaws, never intentionally dated a serial killer. Her serial killer kept it on the down low until he put a ring on it. Yes, I am being flippant.

[Mathewson]

I'm talking about all the times she forgave Todd. And VicTodd. I blame Cartini for the Eli mess, among many many other things of course. I mentioned that I like Blair. And that while I like Carly, there are some days where she annoys the living hell out of me.

[ChitHappens]

Not sure why, but your initial post cracks me up. LW was really on point today. No matter how she may feel about the material, the woman fully commits. Carly has made a decision to be with this man, and she will not be told what to do. I like that Michael got to her and he told her off, but I can't help but feel Michael is the audience who will soon be eating crow because he/we finally see how wonderful FrankenTodd is and Carly was right.

If what's to come salvages the mess made with Francly, I accept!

[Mathewson]

I know I bitch a lot about GH but I just don't like anything about it likely and a lot of that is because of Cartini. I always like to be positive but I would much rather watch DAYS or OLTL reruns. I'm not even kidding about the fact that I would much rather watch Passions reruns than watch GH.

[ChitHappens]

Hey, you don't have to tell me. I was against this team from the moment I heard they were coming to GH. It's been a mess ever since. LW, MW and Chad salvaged those scenes today. I'm going to watch the rest when this Tennis match finishes. I don't have high hopes!

[Cheap21]

Watching right now and why is this little girl smirking and trying to talk to Sam about sleeping with Silas? This only highlights that she needs a girlfriend her own age.

Can Franco have a relapse and kill Olivia?

Yay to Carly's hair growing back. Please don't cut it again anytime soon

My thoughts to Twat Boy

Ewww, her makeup is whack. Doesn't even look like her

Yay to Sam and Nathan meeting. Now f--k him

[AlexElizabeth]

LOL. I feel like we're all going to say this every time Nathan shares a scene with a woman. He just needs to have sex with everyone. I bet ratings would go up if they just let the women of PC have a mass orgy with Nathan.

[DRW50]

Given how asexual most of the women of PC are, that would take a lot of work.

[DRW50]

The main difference was that Carly once had a throughline beyond the man in her bed. Whether it was Jason, or her basic insecurities. Blair, although I preferred Blair to any Carly since about 2000, mostly just had B or C-string relationship stories that KDP had to play out as best she could.

Carly is now just there to prop the flop Roger Howarth, and it falls flat. I don't recognize anything about her character at this point.

[Vee]

Blair once had that, too, when she started out. And eventually Blair's throughline became her family and her children - her relationships with Dorian, with the kids. The problem is that in the last several regimes on ABC they would always consider those relationships to be ultimately subservient to Blair's next story with Todd or some other psycho or bad guy.

That wasn't always the case with Carly, mostly due to a lack of interest in the recast and a very limited scope for GH under Guza, and a limited pool of men until the last two or three years. Now it absolutely is the case.

[ChitHappens]

Sonny needs to get on Amazon.com and order Mobsters For Dummies. You send your son to a rival mobster, even if it is Jillian Jerome, to give his resignation? Huh?

Liv in FrankenTodd's face? Plot point crap anyone?

Shawn is so delicious! So damn delicious!

Sam is a noncharacter that should have left this show long ago. KeMo does not wish to waste her energy on GH, and I don't wish to see her struggling to not waste her energy on GH. She is absolutely worthless and a conversation with that child about sexing up that filthy anorexic McBain? Who hates us that much? Sitting around the damn apartment with 8 inch heels.

Not even going to read too much about that dried up amazon hick from OLTL and here's to hoping there won't be too much more to read about her here!

Friday:

LMAO at Nathan announcing everything he’s doing. “I’m getting dressed!” “I’m calling Silas!” “I’m texting Silas” “On my way, Doc!” They must think we’re really stupid and can’t put two and two together. But it certainly didn't take long for that shirtless scene

NOW Julian wants to be careful and vigilant? A little too late, boo.

Morgan said he’s his own man while whining just like Molly does & crying. I would complain, but I love to see him suffer! Cry, bitch!

Anna really gave it to Nathan, didn't she? He continues to be woefully incompetent at playing subordinate and professional but at least he doesn't suck. The Anna/Nathan scenes were the highlight of the episode.

I'm surprised Morgan wasn't crying and wiping the snot off his lips before Julian even answered the door (I'm also surprised Julian was wearing clothes).

Two days in a row of naked Silas. PAIN.

Bitch of the day: Morgan. Shut up, dude.

[cassadine1991]

WDV needs to give this a rest

William deVry @WilliamdeVry1 2m @WilliamShatner we have

We r still hoping ur agent will let u join us for a few eps.

[Cheap21]

Carly is such a freaking idiot. Everytime someone side eyes her about her relationship with Franco listing all the heinous things he's done to her and her family, she responds with, we all saw the videotape. Bitch get the F out of here with that nonsense

His hair looks awful

Why hasn't anyone noticed that Heather isn't at Ferncliff? Its been a month since Franco "killed" her? Did she go back so no one realized anything. Wouldn't he think to cover his tracks to check there to see what is known and unknown about her status? And if she were missing for a month, wouldn't the facility like tell Anna? This story makes no logical sense at all

So Sonny sends Morgan to quit the mob and he's going to honestly believe that Julian just let him out, no problem? Really?

I hate her acting techniques
