GH50: January 2014 Discussion - HAPPY NEW YEAR!

[AlexElizabeth]

Heather only cut Carly's arm? Where the f-ck did all that blood come from? Are they serious with this?

Ava: "Bobbie Spencer? Who's he?" LOL

Niz YAWN

Carly: Poor Franco

Those Nathan/Dante/Anna scenes were beyond boring.

Poor Kelly Thiebaud has broken another bone. This time her wrist. She says that she hopes Frisco doesn't come back to taunt her some more.

[Cheap21]

Liz pushed her on ice

[Mr. Vixen]

Was Bobbie on today?

[John]

Yes and she called Lucas about Carly

[Cheap21]

Yes!

[Mr. Vixen]

Well I guess I have to brave this [!@#$%^&*] then!

[cassadine1991]

she was the only good part of this episode, everything else was just bad

[Mr. Vixen]

Yeah I just watched, what a shitty episode. Good to see Bobbie though of course.

[Vee]

Another day, another episode with Franco inexplicably dressed like a blue-collar dock worker to try and soften the audience to him. He's Franco Eckert!

[ChitHappens]

IMHO, with the exception of The Jerome Sisters, it was a terrific eppy! I absolutely loved CSI aspect and super shocked FrankenRon went there. It was very well done.

Anna, Dante and Det. Cement's theory as we get a visual? Wonderful! FrankenTodd about to stab Carly, scene freezes and Dante asks "where did FrankenTodd get the knife". Then the close up of Carly near death uttering "please let me go" as she falls to the ground? That was some great stuff, and I loved every minute of it. Anna is not completely sold, which is good, but her reasoning is wrong. I'd like for her to realize that this does not look right because why would someone destroy the hotel tapes of the garage and leave behind the "murder" weapon? Heather narrating didn't bother me as I thought it would, and Robin really brought it in yesterday's scenes. She's been a cartoon for far too long, but Robin gave Heather some depth yesterday. Speaking of her love for her son and doing what's best for him as she plots revenge due to his lack of appreciation. Loved it!

FrankenTodd and Sonny were equally good! RH decided to try acting and it worked. He finally gave an appropriate performance. No Shecky at all. Just a man who is scared to death while fending off accusations. Mo brought it as well. I could watch these scenes all weekend, and I probably will.

Not sure an offset to the kidnapping should have been Nizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. They really seemed isolated at the hospital and out of the blue, Liz wants family time with a man she knows is taken? Once again, we fail with developing relationships on this show.

The Jerome Sisters at it again trying to convince the audience of how menacing they are. Almost didn't recognize Boozy because she didn't have a drink in her hand. The only payoff to this heinous Jillian miscast is to have Boozy viciously kill him. We didn't need Jillian to introduce Lucas. We already know who Lucas is and that he is Jillian's bio son. Wasted time on this sister act again!

Preview: Anna and ChiaScott going at it? Please let them be on together for the entire eppy!

I thought the episode was mind-numbing, to be honest. The endless iterations of the fake crime - hilariously rendered, I might add, with RH and LW's OTT silent film performances. We all know it's not true, so why are they filling an hour with me watching people watch a false premise? And Franco the Fisherman is still incredibly annoying. He's so earnest and needy and he's wearing flannel! I don't care.

What I did, like, surprisingly, was the brief scene where Julian and Ava talked about their family and their feelings about their father. If they'd done more of that a while ago the characters would be in a better place. You have to write for character sometimes.

[ChitHappens]

I don't think it matters what the audience already knows. The dueling re-enactments was a good idea, IMHO. The police are trying to tie evidence and a crime scene to a disappearance, and while they are off track, we have what is really going on at the other side of town. I loved it! But I do agree that FrankenTodd needs to dress like an adult.

[Vee]

But all we did was hear a long, laboriously-detailed false version of events and then an unnecessarily detailed description of Heather and Carly's movements. Do I really care how Heather framed Franco or her moment by moment itinerary?

This is a short-term caper featuring a wildly unpopular couple and storyline - it's not the reveal of Who Killed Connie or what happened to Faison or whatever else, with higher stakes. It's just a waste of time.

[KMan101]

I could of almost liked those Niz scenes had it not been for their icky affair, his creepy stalking of her when he came back, and now her all horny for him. Yuck. Yuck. Yuck.

I liked the police scenes. They were a nice change. And I liked the "flashbacks" of Franco killing Carly.

I also liked the Sonny/Franco scenes. Though I felt RH DID show up for work, he still ended up irritating me and then Franco's cue the violin speech to Sonny. Oy. But the scenes worked and I agree that Mo actually showed up for work too. Both have been better but at least they showed up.

Robin Mattson was wonderful. I just am so over Heather right now.

And it's always nice seeing Bobbie. I like that Lulu's involved in the Carly plot.

Yuck to the Jeromes. I'm over them. And why are they on SO much. Ugh. I do agree I actually liked their scenes for a change but it's at the point where I just don't care.

[AlexElizabeth]

LMAO! Yeah... he's not good. But at least he brings the pretty.

I agree that yesterday's stuff was boring and a waste of time.
