GH50: January 2014 Discussion - HAPPY NEW YEAR!

[Cyberologist]

CHappens,

re: preventing the kidnapping; I thought Heather had a gun to Carly' side, that's why she didn't do anything eg struggle etc. I too find it strange that Carly couldn;t bend her head down to work the gag off her mouth...

Tuesday:

Carly's dialogue: "Franco's innocent! His brain tumor caused him to do ALL the BAD THINGS! He provided evidence that he didn't cause Michael's rape! He's CHANGED! Whatever he did, it was because he was a different man! BUT..... I'm NOT making excuses for him." Bitch, GTFO. I hear there's some grass that needs grazing in the other side of town.

Nathan, honey? It’s time to change that monotone of yours.

Ava and Franco sitting together? That’s a whole lotta crazy for one measly table. Although Franco did have some fantastic zingers.

I don’t have much use for Silas but I do think he works as Rafe's guardian. Those scenes with Rafe are the only time when he seems useful (how f*cked up that it takes a rather obscure teenager to make a supposed Important Character likable?). I always laugh when Silas shows up somewhere and he’s standing on the side of the door, jacket over his shoulder, trying to be mysterious and sexy. Dude, you look like an ostrich with licked-down hair. Swerve!

Julian: "Why didn’t I think of this before?" Um, because you're an idiot and a pathetic joke of a mobster? “It’s unpleasant… for both of us.” That is exactly what the audience is thinking. But I do find this plan of Julian's intriguing (on paper). Of course, this means we'll have several scenes of Morgan squinting heavily to convey concentration & effort. I wonder how soon he'll f.ck it up?

How funny would it have been if, when Ava asked Julian where Morgan was, Julian replied: “I killed him.” Just Ava's face… (sorry, my mind wanders and I imagine things in order to make it through. Carry on....)

Bitch of the day: Carly.

[Antoyne]

Lord the new cop is wooden ss !@#$%^&*], at least he's something to look at.

[PJA]

Heather kidnapping Carly has got to be the most plot driven storyline to ever grace my tv screen.

[ChitHappens]

Since when has a gun ever stopped Carly? She didn't put up the fight we know Carly would. It makes no sense to have Carly this subdued because that is not who she is. Far from it. As for the gag used to keep Carly quiet, something that many of us know to be impossible, I fully expect to see that scarf as an accessory around someone's neck in the near future. Gross! Was duck tape and another rope for her legs not in the budget? This way, Carly doesn't look so stupid with a scarf she can remove and 12 other ways to escape.

It's ok for me but I'm finding the characters excessively stupid lately.

Sonny fell for that grade school production between Morgan and Ava totally dismissing Morgan's most recent betrayal.

Carly assisting in her own abduction and just sitting on the floor whimpering.

And just watch FrankenTodd present that 5 paragraph computer generated "goodbye" letter as proof of his innocence. I just can't.

Michael "Mom never went looking for me because I never saw her". Honey, that doesn't mean she didn't go looking. Sigh...

[Cheap21]

Looking at that gif, I dont get why she didnt just turn around and kick the bench or bang her feet on the floor to make noise instead of struggling to reach that cooler.

[Vanguardian]

Nathan is nice looking but I agree, he's very monotone. How long is Maxie supposed to be gone? If she's supposed to be Nathan's love interest then the character probably should have remained with a temporary recast. I'm finding people everywhere also speculating that he will get together with either Lulu OR Lucas. Lucas? LOL. Jaws would drop if Nathan/Lucas were to come to fruition. Though I confess, they'd definitely give off that NUKE vibe.

[AlexElizabeth]

Nathan and Lucas would be smoking hot and gorgeous together! So they'll saddle Lucas with Felix and Brad instead.

[DRW50]

Would jaws drop if a poorly written cipher Lucas (which is what he will likely be) was with a poorly written cipher cop whose only value is in his pectorals?

[AlexElizabeth]

Mine would!

[Vanguardian]

I think so! Viewers have come up with every female on the show as a possible love interest for Nathan. So if it turns out that he's really into men, jaws would drop or much worse.

It's going to be fun to see how well they integrate Lucas in with Felix and Brad. Personally, I think Lucas's role here will be to act as a catalyst in bringing Felix and Brad together. I don't believe for one minute that either one of them (who are both nothing but walking stereotypes) are going to be hooking up with the refined and well-grounded Lucas.

[Marco Dane]

Why isnt Robin suffering from PTSD?

[AlexElizabeth]

Because that would take away from Sabrina's current suffering.

[Vee]

Ron has grown extremely bitchy on social media about anyone daring to complain about Robin and her loved ones not adequately addressing what's been through, so PTSD is definitely not on the table.

[YRBB]

I honestly would be surprised if they made Nathan gay and paired him with Lucas.

You rarely see (if ever), especially on a soap, especially on GH, someone like Ryan Paevey being cast in a gay role. It's clear most TV thinks gay men are to be played in the way of Felix or completely asexually, in the way of Sonny & Will.
